888 Terrifying Heavenly Might! (1/2)
The sky darkened gradually and just as dusk was about to descend, another storm arose!
Earlier, Jun Mo Xie had used all his methods, using the Hongjun Pagoda's shocking abilities to protect himself and Mei Xue Yan, successfully digesting the horrifying effects of the Golden Jade Fluid for his use. With the assistance of the Hongjun Pagoda, the two of them had managed to tide through the ordeal smoothly.
After breaking through successfully, the two of them didn't leave and continued in the Hongjun Pagoda. Mei Xue Yan focused on consolidating her cultivation; with the exceedingly safe, peaceful environment of the Hongjun Pagoda as well as the ocean of pure Spiritual Qi as support, it was the best place to consolidate one's cultivation. As for Jun Mo Xie, he immediately got busy refining pills and spent his efforts on other matters.
When the two came out, they immediately went to a wide and secluded area to face the inevitable Heavenly Tribulation that would follow with every breakthrough. Only after passing through the Heavenly Tribulation would they be considered to be completely safe… But who would have thought that after waiting around for several hours, there were no reactions from the sky!
This point had caused Mei Xue Yan to feel incomparably troubled!
Humans could make mistakes or have oversights; this much was understandable. But Heavenly Tribulations were the punishment of the heavens, ah!
Could the heavens also make mistakes?
The two of them had advanced together and had even made multiple breakthroughs in a row. In other words, each of them were supposed to face at least five or six Heavenly Tribulations stacked up together… but there were actually no reactions at all! After guessing around blindly for a long time and seeing that they couldn't simply wait around forever, they decided to continue on to Chrysanthemum City and also assassinated Xia Dong Ting that very night!
Previously, their strengths were not sufficient, and they couldn't kill. But with their strengths greatly improved now, wouldn't it be dumb to not attack?!
The target they'd selected this time was ultimately a third level Saint. Even though Young Master Jun had grown much stronger than before, he still needed to use his full strength to kill him in one stroke. But because of this, the true depth of his cultivation which had been hidden away before was finally unleashed, causing the Heavenly Tribulation that hadn't reacted for so long to… respond suddenly! And from the looks of it, this was not a Heavenly Tribulation for just Young Master Jun! The Heavenly Tribulation for the both of them had arrived together!
So the moment the two came out from the Chen Family manor, the dark clouds in the sky had been gathering with shocking speed, nearly merging into a single entity… It was as if all the clouds in the world congregated at the same place. In a swift moment, the clear skies had been completely covered!
Lightning bolts that had been brewing for an unknown length of time arched dangerously across the sky, and the thick swirl of clouds slowly formed into a gigantic whirlpool in the sky, finally turning into a huge 'eye'. It was as if a hegemonic, one-eyed beast had taken over the entire sky!
The countless lightning arcs did not fall immediately; instead, they all shot into the cloud-eye, and completely disappeared.
Following that, another batch of clouds swarmed over and more lightning suffused into the enormous eye…
Repeating the same sequence!
In the early hours of the morning, the entire clump of black clouds weighed down heavily, causing everyone to feel an exceedingly strange feeling, as if within a reach of their hands, they could grab a piece of the cloud!
In fact, the tips of the taller trees had already extended into the dark clouds… from this, one could easily tell what extent the weight and density of the clouds had reached!
The more dense the might of heaven and earth, the heavier it would be. Even the shrill howls of the wind that used to be so ever present in the past seemed to be lethargic and slow, finding it hard to advance…
In the sky, there were already over a hundred huge cloud-eyes, covering the sky in a dense sheet!
There wasn't any lightning, nor was there any luster of any other color, except for the color black! Black… this kind of blackness was even darker than the night. Even if a person stretched their finger out before their eyes, they wouldn't be able to see anything!
The clouds continued to gather and build up, without concern for any outside influence, but this kind of heavy pressure was so strong that everyone found it hard to even breathe!
To the common people and low level cultivators, this kind of pressure that came from the heavens and earth only felt like a stifling pressure. But to high level cultivators who already grasped the Power of Heaven and Earth, it was incomparably shcking!
Within the distance of ten thousand li, even all the Superior Supreme worldly experts did not dare to move! Whether they be Superior Supremes, Venerables, Saints, or even Saint Emperor existences, all of them were scared stiff, not even daring to breathe a little too loudly. Most of all… they didn't dare expose even a tiny bit of their Xuan cultivation!
All of them were deathly afraid that if they so much as moved a bit, the attention of the heavens would drawn onto them, and this terrifying Heavenly Tribulation of unknown origins would suddenly drop upon their heads… Such matters were definitely not a joke. It wasn't a groundless fear, but an actual, very real possibility!
When Heavenly Tribulations arrived, it would usually only seek out the person that had attracted it… But if this person had outside help, or if someone coincidentally stepped into the radius of the terrifying lightning clouds' range, the Lightning Tribulation would similarly grow stronger, becoming double or even manifold stronger than originally intended, resulting in everyone being turned into ashes!
The situation right now and the scale of the Heavenly Tribulation were truly unprecedented! Nobody dared to make any moves; even the stronger experts were not an exception! Who could truly tell who this crazy thing would fall upon next? If I moved, and the Heavenly Tribulation locked on to me because of that, wouldn't I die a very innocent death?
Not to mention, these tribulation clouds… were super massive scaled! The moment anyone came into contact with it, it wouldn't simply be a case of 'most likely will perish'. No, they would be dead without a sliver of doubt!
Such a terrifying might, even if all the experts of the three Holy Lands came together and combined their strengths to resist, assuming that the Heavenly Tribulation didn't grow stronger because of the number of people… the only likely outcome would be that all of them would be turned into a pile of ash, the remains of everyone mixed up together…
Even if the Nine Nether First Young Master appeared, he would still jump far away with shock! Since time immemorial, such a strange sight had never appeared before—not even once!
Ninety-nine huge eyes stared silently down from the sky, with great power accumulating within them. From the start to now, there had yet to be any movements from them!

It couldn't be that there were 99 peak experts breaking through at the same time, drawing the tribulation clouds, right?
