The Underworld Makes Its Move
"Damn it, how could it be him?" A Supreme's exasperated voice echoed from within the Forbidden Zone.
The fact that he triggered the Nine-Layered Heavenly Tribulation proves that he has already cultivated to the Ninth Heaven realm. He was able to kill Quasi-Emperor of the Ninth Heaven realm when he was at the Sixth Heaven realm, so what is his combat power now?
"That's Array Diagram! He specially crafted an Array Diagram to isolate the fluctuations generated by the Heavenly Tribulation!!" A supreme being noticed the terrifying Array Diagram that Zhou Tong had set up between those dozen or so star fields, and his expression turned somewhat grim.
It's a disgrace that they were fooled by such an Array Diagram.
Some of the Supreme Beings looked rather grim, because they could clearly see that the array Array Diagram had already given birth to Formation Spirit. Such Array Diagram was definitely not something they could break with a single attack from afar; they would probably need to bring their true forms out.
In fact, the fact that Zhou Tong was able to create such an Array Diagram already speaks volumes. It means that his cultivation in the Dao of Arrays has surpassed that of some Supreme Beings who are slightly weaker in this field.
When he created this Array Diagram, he certainly hadn't yet undergone tribulation, yet he possessed such array-mastery, which was somewhat terrifying.
"No, we absolutely cannot let him survive the Heavenly Tribulation!!" The Forbidden Zone Supreme were almost insane. How could they tolerate such a being who was superior to them living in the world?
"Boom!"
On the Cosmic Frontier, Heavenly Tribulation is raging. This is the most primal force of the universe vibrating, as if the World Creation. The entire universe can feel it. This kind of vibration is something that a mere Array Diagram cannot withstand.
In this battle, everyone in the universe watched in awe at the Cosmic Frontier.
Those prodigies, especially those with the potential to attain enlightenment, couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.
Everyone thought that Zhou Tong was completely ruined after the Dark Turmoil Supreme Battle, or at the very least, he had lost any possibility of improvement; but no one expected that he was secretly undergoing the Nine-Layered Heavenly Tribulation!
He fooled everyone!
On the Hegemon Body Ancestral Star, countless people cheered with joy, for finally another Great Accomplishment Hegemon Body was about to appear in the world!
Moreover, it is highly likely to be the strongest Great Accomplishment Hegemon Body in all of history.
"Boom!"
The cataclysmic Heavenly Tribulation of the Ninth Heaven is a completely different concept from the previous Seventh and Eighth Heavens. It is simply World Destruction calamity, with lightning sweeping everything away and shattering the Cosmic Eight Wastelands.
However, Zhou Tong remained unmoved, still sitting quietly in the same spot, constantly breathing in and out the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, transforming the punishment into Fortune, and strengthening himself.
This scene plunged countless people into despair.
Even such Heavenly Tribulation couldn't harm him in the slightest; it was simply terrifying. Even the supreme beings of the Forbidden Zone wore expressions of disbelief. When they faced their own Nine-Layered Heavenly Tribulation, they dared not confront it with such an attitude. This was utterly disregarding the Heavenly Tribulation —it was terrifying beyond belief!
"Boom!"
However, at that moment, an ancient map appeared out of nowhere, breaking through the sea of lightning of Zhou Tong's Nine-Layered Heavenly Tribulation. At the same time, an extremely powerful aura erupted, and a giant foot descended from the Void the Great, directly stepping towards Zhou Tong.
"That's... the Tribulation Crossing Heavenly Venerable Tribulation Crossing Pattern of a Tribulation Crossing Celestial Venerable? It's specifically designed to counter Heavenly Tribulation, and can even help people avoid the Emperor Tribulation. It's from the Underworld. I didn't expect the Underworld to actually make a move?" Someone in the Forbidden Zone exclaimed in surprise.
"Heh heh, the Underworld doesn't want such an invincible being to appear in this Lifetime either!" another supreme being sneered.
The other supreme beings thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
The Underworld revels in powerful corpses, and in this golden age, with countless geniuses emerging, it's the Underworld's time to reign supreme. How could they possibly tolerate an invincible being destroying their prosperous era?
"A person from the Underworld? I haven't even gone looking for you yet, but you've come looking for me first!" Zhou Tong said calmly.
"Om!"
However, at this moment, Zhou Tong suddenly sprouted countless hairs of various colors all over his body, making him look incredibly terrifying. This was a curse from the Underworld, a curse upon Source Heaven Master.
The Hegemon Body is different from the Saint Body. This physique was not cursed by the Underworld, but Zhou Tong cultivated the Source Technique and was tainted by the curse of the Source Technique. This is also the Underworld's confidence in coming here.
"What can a mere curse from the Source Heaven Master do to me?" Zhou Tong's body flashed with light, and a crimson light burst forth from his body—the power of the Azure Heaven True Blood.
Wherever the blood-red light touched, all the hair vanished instantly, and then—
"Boom!!"
Blood and sin filled the air as the supreme Hegemon Body Ancestral Form appeared. Zhou Tong activated the Battle Immortal Art and the Battle Intent Furnace, unleashing a powerful punch that shattered the foot in mid-air.
"As expected of the strongest Hegemon Body in history, you have such combat power while fighting against the Nine-Layered Heavenly Tribulation. It is truly admirable. However, you are cursed, so the Underworld is your best destination!" A person covered in hair landed.
Then another radiant and holy person descended at the same time.
The area where the two were located had been blocked by the tribulation-crossing Divine Pattern, so the Heavenly Tribulation did not affect them.
"Source God and Source Ghost, the two of you are not enough!" Zhou Tong looked at the two of them and shook his head.
Although the Heavenly Tribulation still descended, all the tribulation light that fell upon Zhou Tong seemed to be tamed, entering his body and transforming into nourishment. In particular, the Thunder Emperor Wings shone brilliantly.
"They are certainly no match for you, but what about with me?" A voice came from the Void the Great, and the Heaven-Piercing Nether Treasure, surrounded by immortal light, appeared not far away.
"The Heaven-Piercing Nether Treasure? It seems your Underworld hasn't gathered Myriad Spirits True Blood yet, and you haven't successfully merged with the Myriad Spirits True Blood into a human form," Zhou Tong said calmly.
"You know quite a lot!!" Heaven-Piercing Nether Treasure's voice was somewhat surprised, but it was followed by a thousandfold killing intent.
"Still not enough!" Zhou Tong remained completely unfazed. "I, at the sixth level of the Heavenly Realm, could kill Ninth Heaven. Now, at the Ninth Heaven, I can kill a true peak Great Emperor. Do you think two monsters plus an Immortal Artifact are my match?"
"And what about me?"
A pitch-black figure tore through the Void the Great and appeared in front of Zhou Tong.
The man was clad entirely in jet-black armor, which even covered his head, exuding an overwhelming aura of death. In his right hand, he held a Heavenly Halberd made of Dragon Pattern Black Gold patterns, and in his left hand, a Dragon Pattern Black Gold.
"Fully armed, if I'm not mistaken, you must be the Prison Suppressing Emperor of the Underworld!" Zhou Tong.
"I didn't expect you to know so much about us!" The black-clad figure trembled slightly, a hint of surprise appearing in the only eye that was exposed. "It seems that the decision to deal with you was the right one. You have long regarded us as enemies... No wonder the Heaven-Piercing Nether Treasure, which had been gone for tens of thousands of years, has flown back and come looking for me again."
"Om!"
However, at this moment, Zhou Tong's Heavenly Tribulation also showed a slight change. Immortal Qi of immortal energy were born in the Void the Great, which shocked everyone in the Underworld.
"Nine-Layered Immortal Tribulation? You really managed to summon the legendary strongest Nine-Layered Heavenly Tribulation!" The Prison Suppressing Emperor looked at Zhou Tong, his Killing Intent undisguised. "Nine-Layered Immortal Tribulation, even the Tribulation Crossing Heavenly Venerable's Tribulation Crossing Pattern are somewhat unable to withstand it. I must eliminate you before the Heavenly Tribulation is fully formed!"
"Then what nonsense are you talking about!" Zhou Tong flapped his Kunpeng Wings, unleashing terrifying Yin-Yang power that melted the Void the Great and surged towards the group in front of him.
