The Pinnacle of the Great Sage
"The supreme god Qing Yu Tian has descended to earth; this world shall be established!"
Finally, the name of the new god was announced, and the usurpation was already quite obvious.
The entire Divine Domain was shaken. A new god was born, named "Qing Yu Tian". His name spread throughout the world, and some families who wanted to make a fortune began to worship him in advance.
Subsequently, the news leaked out, and the statue of the deity was secretly spread to various places. Almost all the major clans began to secretly make one in case of emergency, and many powerful clans began to enshrine the statue of Qing Yu Tian in their shrines.
"When the god dies, the supreme god will descend to earth to take his place, and the Qing Yu Tian shall rise!"
Just two weeks later, the rebellion finally began.
No one expected that the new god's offensive would be so fierce and direct. This new god, named "Zhou Tong," had only been in power for less than two months when he began to openly usurp the throne and even announced to the world that he wanted to enter the God's Other Shore.
The Divine Domain was thrown into chaos. All the commanders, elders, Saintess, and palace masters were uneasy and unsure of what to do.
"Boom!!"
Just then, the Lingbao Array Diagram on the altar suddenly shone brightly, leaving the altar and returning to the Life Ancient Mountain.
"The Divine Diagram remains neutral, not taking sides!" an elder god exclaimed in surprise.
"As expected, I've only just gained its approval; it's been too short a time. Moreover, Qing Yu Tian and the Lingbao Array Diagram have some kind of connection, which is not good. We must completely sever this connection." Zhou Tong remained extremely calm upon seeing this scene, because he had already guessed the Lingbao Array Diagram's choice.
He knew of Qing Yu Tian, who was the one who usurped the position of the old god in the original story. Moreover, his ancestors had always served by the side of the Divine Domain Lingbao Array Diagram in the Divine Realm, and had even served as the Divine Son of the Divine Domain, the kind who was about to succeed the god. Therefore, he had a natural connection with the Lingbao Array Diagram.
In the original story, it was because of the connection between the Lingbao Array Diagram and Qing Yu Tian that the Lingbao Array Diagram was unwilling to take action, which is why the Old God lost the final battle for the divine position.
"Boom!!"
On that very day, the person named Qing Yu Tian finally appeared.
He forcefully ascended to the altar and walked up to Zhou Tong.
This was a middle-aged man of extraordinary prowess, with a majestic and imposing figure, looking down upon the world with deep eyes, and a towering physique that exuded an awe-inspiring majesty.
"Back then, the old god usurped the rightful throne of the Divine Domain, and now you, an outsider, have arrived. How dare you act so presumptuously in my Divine Domain Realm! I am Qing Yu Tian, and I will see you to your end and reclaim everything that belongs to my Divine Domain!" Qing Yu Tian roared, his voice resounding throughout the entire Divine Domain, carrying an immense and majestic aura.
Qing Yu Tian remained calm, for he had been preparing for this usurpation for countless years, and he had long since cultivated to the peak of the Great Sage through the Power of Faith.
He had been lying low until now, simply because the old god was still around and he wasn't confident he could defeat him.
But now that the old god is dead, and a young man with a lower cultivation level than himself has taken his place, he naturally has no scruples.
"Qing Yu Tian, you've finally appeared. I've actually been waiting for you all along!" Zhou Tong looked at Qing Yu Tian with a smile.
He was overjoyed, finally having encountered this major obstacle preventing him from taking control of the Lingbao Array Diagram.
Qing Yu Tian's heart skipped a beat, seemingly caught off guard by Zhou Tong's words. He had thought of many things, but he had never imagined that Zhou Tong would say such a thing.
"Traitorous scoundrel, today I shall execute you and restore peace and order to the Divine Domain!" Qing Yu Tian steadied his mind, then roared and attacked.
His body radiated light from within, dazzling and brilliant. He struck forward with a palm, overwhelming the heavens and earth, displaying divine might.
"Boom!!"
However, the moment Qing Yu Tian made his move, a ten-thousand-foot-wide sea of lightning descended instantly. Zhou Tong's Thunder Tribulation had arrived. He had already reached the pinnacle of the Great Sage realm when he was tempered by the Killing Intent the Lingbao Heavenly Venerate at the Heavenly Venerable Life Spring.
He should have undergone his tribulation long ago, but the appearance of Dao Yi showed him a completely new possibility, so he has been suppressing his Heavenly Tribulation.
As the sea of lightning descended, the entire ancient star was instantly thrown into turmoil. However, at this moment, the Lingbao Array Diagram glowed, and the Power of Faith trembled, stabilizing the entire Divine Domain.
On the other side, however, the usurper Qing Yu Tian was in dire straits. The moment the sea of lightning descended, he was severely injured by this extremely terrifying Heavenly Tribulation.
"You... you haven't undergone the tribulation all this time, just to wait for me here?" Qing Yu Tian's face was pale, filled with resentment. He never expected that after preparing for so many years, he would be defeated by the Heavenly Tribulation.
"No, I just want to kill you. Your lineage has a very deep connection with the Divine Diagram. Without killing you, it will be difficult to perfectly control the Divine Diagram."
"I am simply too strong. If I had undergone my tribulation earlier, my Heavenly Tribulation would have frightened you and extinguished your courage to rebel. What would I have done then? Where would I have found you?"
While Zhou Tong was circulating the Thunder Emperor Method to devour and refine the Heavenly Tribulation, he was also chatting leisurely with Qing Yu Tian. At this moment, he had the overall situation under control.
"Alright, you know enough now, you can go in peace!" Zhou Tong tore through the Void the Great in an instant and appeared beside Qing Yu Tian, throwing a punch down.
"Puff!"
With a flash of blood, Qing Yu Tian turned into a rain of blood, his body and soul annihilated.
Zhou Tong didn't even glance at him. He directly opened his mouth and absorbed the heavenly lightning, refining it and completely stabilizing his Great Saint Ninth Heaven realm.
"It's over!!" Dao Yi sighed softly and shook his head.
A Heavenly Tribulation Annihilation everything; no matter how much the challenger struggled, he could not escape death.
"The peak of the Great Sage, his cultivation speed is simply too fast. How can it be so fast? It doesn't make sense! According to the information we have, he has only been at the Great Saint Realm for less than fourteen years. How could he have reached perfection so quickly?" Dao Yi's protector also looked gloomy. He couldn't understand how there could be someone who could cultivate so fast.
"Heavenly Tribulation annihilates the enemy, Great Sage Peak, unimaginable cultivation speed." On the other side, Ji Zi saw the outcome of the battle for the Godhood in the Divine Domain and felt a sense of awe.
Back when the two were still on the Second Layer of Immortal Platform, they were evenly matched, but now he can only see the back of the departing figure; if he advances further, he may not even be able to see the back of the departing figure anymore.
Meanwhile, on the God's Other Shore, atop the altar.
Zhou Tong swallowed all the tribulation light of the Heavenly Tribulation. He sat quietly on the altar, his whole body radiating brilliant light, like a purple Sun Emperor.
The altar was magnificent, towering above even a majestic mountain. Together with the altar, it radiated an indestructible divine light, dazzling and radiant, overlooking the world.
After fully advancing to the peak of the Great Sage realm, Zhou Tong has reached a completely new peak. His body is crystal clear, radiating a shimmering Light of Immortality.
Especially in his blood, that bright red hue had become even more pronounced.
When he first became Great Sage, only one-tenth of the Purple Blood in his body was crimson; now, half of the blood in his body has been transformed into truly flawless crimson blood.
