1418 Ascending to the God Realm End of Main Storyline (1/2)
Time flitted by, and in the blink of an eye, half-a-year had passed already.
A large number of immortal arrays had been placed under the vast ocean of the Great Tang Empire's Misty Spring Ocean as this was the location where Tang Xiu and the 36 late-stage Supremes were planning to cross the tribulation.
The number of Supremes who had assembled in the Misty Spring Ocean on this day, including the peak-stage Supremes from the other realms, had crossed over 500 altogether.
”Xiu'er. Are you really confident?”
Supreme Star Soul was also among the 36 members who were planning to cross the tribulation and ascend to the God Realm. Although he wasn't worried because his son had planned things, they were, after all, going to cross the divine tribulation, so he felt a little nervous as the slightest miss on their end would cause them to perish eternally.
Tang Xiu smiled faintly. ”Don't worry! I'm confident.”
Supreme Star Soul nodded silently and looked towards a faraway place from where his wife, Apotheon Carmen Mist, was gazing towards him with a teary face.
After leaving this time, neither Tang Xiu nor the 36 Supremes knew when they would be able to see their friends and families left behind in the Immortal World again.
”Activate the array.”
Tang Xiu commanded solemnly after he soared into the skies and gave a few glances to the 500 or so Supremes in the surroundings.
In the next instant, a numinous transparent energy shield enveloped Tang Xiu and the 36 Supremes. All of them swallowed two drops of god blood after that and absorbed the energy contained in the divine rock within their hand steadily.
The skies were overshadowed by a dense amount of dark clouds, and thunder rumbled within them along with flashes of lightning.
The 2nd Emperor of the Great Tang Empire, Tang Song, appeared outside the grand array and gazed at his father's handsome face before yelling out loudly under the gazes of all the powerhouse, ”Father, I've found my goal already. Wait for me. We'll definitely meet again in the God Realm.”
Tang Xiu nodded satisfactorily and said, ”Father is looking forward to meeting you in the God Realm, Song'er.”
A dreadful aura descended from the Heavens following that.
The dreadful divine tribulation caused the 500 or so Supremes in the surroundings to fall back in succession. Although they had observed several tribulations, they had never seen 37 Supremes attempt to cross the tribulation simultaneously. The powerhouses of the various forces revealed tense expressions one after the other as they gazed at Tang Xiu in the sky.
”I believe it would be easy for the Great Tang Heavenly Emperor to cross the tribulation and become a deity if he wishes to do so. After all, he has undergone the onslaught of the divine tribulation and crossed it successfully once.”
”I have the same opinion. The Great Tang Heavenly Emperor never does anything without the proper preparation. However, he has actually chosen to cross the tribulation alongside 36 Supremes. This is a huge mistake. Just look at the lightning clouds in the skies, they will be obviously facing a terrifyingly abnormal divine tribulation.”
”The Great Tang Heavenly Emperor has always succeeded in accomplishing his resolutions, so I believe he will be able to cross it safely this time too.”
”…”
A lot of them speculated while the others prayed.
Tang Xiu lifted his arm up and yelled loudly, ”Prepare to greet the divine tribulation!”
Boom…
A dreadful aura descended from the Heavens and brought tremendous pressure on them. However, Tang Xiu and the 36 late-stage Supremes were still capable of maintaining their calm.
Eighty-One Divine Tribulation.
It was one of the most terrifying heavenly tribulations in the Immortal World and would only manifest when a Supreme attempted to become a Deity.
Cultivation was, after all, a battle against Heaven and Earth.
A series of lightning bolts rained down along with flames that transformed into a blazing sea of fire. Tang Xiu strengthened his physique through the Heavenly Art of Cosmic Genesis that he cultivated and took the lead to crush the attacks of the incoming divine tribulation.
As the old adage went—the best defense is a good offense.
Tang Xiu and the 36 Supremes gambled with the tribulation that had descended from the Heavens a few times, and the strength they revealed shocked the numerous Supremes who had gathered to observe the tribulation. Even the Perfected Golden Immortals also revealed similarly astounded expressions.
After a whole three days, Tang Xiu and the 36 Supremes, all of them crossed the tribulation successfully.
”Congratulations, Great Tang Heavenly Emperor. Congratulations, Supremes of the Great Tang Empire.” The Supremes who had come to observe soared up to the skies and cupped their fists towards Tang Xiu at the same time.
