Chen Changsheng and Yang Jian's expressions changed. Wasn't this exactly the same as when Yang Jian had faced his tribulation two years ago?
"Yang Jian, it seems your junior brother is unwilling to fall behind as well. In just three years, he has already begun to face his tribulation!"
Chen Changsheng looked up at the sky with a light laugh. Suddenly, he noticed flashes of violet light amid the clouds, while the lightning was actually several degrees stronger than Yang Jian's had been!
Could it be...
Chen Changsheng narrowed his eyes. Di Xin cultivated the Human Emperor Art, and with the existence of the Sacred Dynasty system, this was undoubtedly a bid to seize destiny from the Saints.
Although Yang Jian had encountered obstacles during his tribulation, he was ultimately only a cultivator and still within a controllable range.
But Di Xin was different. Once he matured, he would become someone capable of changing this world. Such actions would likely draw the Heavenly Dao's attention!
"Master, with such a formation, could it be that Junior Brother is also...?"
Having personally experienced heavenly tribulation, Yang Jian naturally sensed it more keenly!
Chen Changsheng nodded helplessly. "That's right. Your junior brother is likely facing the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation as well—perhaps one even more terrifying than yours!"
At Ku Song Jian Huo Yun Dong, three figures were cultivating in silence. They sat motionlessly; if not for the faint breaths emanating from them, they would have seemed petrified!
Suddenly, all three opened their eyes and looked at one another. Each saw surprise in the others' eyes, and they cried out in unison, "The human race's destiny has fluctuated again!"
Di Xin Faces Tribulation, Human Emperor Dharma Body
The auras of the three figures fluctuated strangely. They were all at the Quasi-Saint realm, and at this moment, they were all staring in the same direction.
"You two felt it as well?"
One of them slowly spoke. The three were none other than the former Three Sovereigns of the human race: Fu Xi, Shen Nong, and Xuan Yuan.
The three had already reached the Quasi-Saint realm, yet they had never been able to break through to the Saint realm. Thus, they had remained hidden here, seeking an opportunity to become Saints.
Yet they had never expected the human race's destiny to decline. No matter how hard they tried, they could not reach the Saint realm.
Standing beside Fu Xi, Xuan Yuan nodded gently. "That's right. At this moment, the human race's destiny has undergone a tremendous fluctuation."
Shen Nong, standing to the side, also gave a soft exclamation. "You two should remember that not long ago, the human race's destiny also fluctuated. Though the three of us did our utmost to deduce its cause, we could never determine its beginning or end!"
Fu Xi's expression shifted. "You mean there may be some connection between the two?"
Xuan Yuan gave a bitter smile. "Whether they are connected or not, I fear the world outside is about to undergo a great change."
Fu Xi smiled as well. "Indeed. Though we do not know where it began, we can all see that the human race's destiny is steadily strengthening. Perhaps this may be an opportunity for the three of us."
Shen Nong and Xuan Yuan's gazes shifted. Both looked thoughtfully at Fu Xi, though no one knew what they were thinking.
Chen Changsheng did not yet know that Di Xin's breakthrough had directly stirred the human race's destiny and already drawn the attention of many people.
At this moment, Chen Changsheng merely stared coldly at the sky. Would the Heavenly Dao truly allow someone capable of changing the world to emerge safely?
"Rumble!"
The first bolt of lightning descended, already carrying the final might of the Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation. The sight deeply moved Yang Jian.
"Master, isn't this far too dangerous? How could Junior Brother's current strength possibly endure the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation?"
Chen Changsheng clenched his fists, and a trace of ruthlessness appeared in his eyes as he looked at the sky.
I don't care what kind of Heavenly Dao you are. If you dare harm my disciple today, I, Chen Changsheng, will definitely overturn you.
As though it had sensed Chen Changsheng's threat, the heavenly tribulation struck one bolt after another, not even giving Di Xin a chance to catch his breath.
"This is outrageous! How could he possibly endure under such circumstances?"
Yang Jian clenched his fists as well. Even he could tell that Di Xin had been completely singled out by the heavenly tribulation.
Bolt after bolt of heavenly tribulation fell. Di Xin was like a lone leaf drifting upon raging waves; the slightest lapse could see him swallowed whole.
"No, Master, I'm going to help Junior Brother!"
Yang Jian roared, and the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Halberd appeared in his hand.
With a casual wave of Chen Changsheng's hand, Yang Jian's body was immobilized, leaving him unable to move.
"You understand this—do you think your master does not? But tribulation can only be crossed by the one facing it. If you go to help him, both of you will perish within the lightning tribulation."
Yang Jian stopped struggling, his fists tightly clenched. "Are we really supposed to just watch Junior Brother perish in the lightning tribulation?"
Chen Changsheng shook his head. "Every calamity carries the number nine, and the one left over is a thread of life. Though your junior brother is in grave danger, he is not doomed to die. The only thing we can do now is see whether he can seize that thread of survival."
Di Xin, high in the sky, was already dressed in tattered rags, while the heavenly tribulation had only reached the sixth set of nine strikes.
Having cultivated the Human Emperor Art, he was destined to be targeted by the Heavenly Dao. But if he crossed this tribulation, his life would be completely transformed, and he might even gain an opportunity to alter the human race's destiny.
No. I cannot fail and disgrace Master!
For the future of the human race, I cannot fail!
"Boom!"
The seventieth bolt of heavenly tribulation descended. Di Xin immediately fell to the ground like a kite with its string cut.
"Junior Brother!"
Yang Jian was extremely anxious, but Chen Changsheng narrowed his eyes. Having nearly reached the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, he had already noticed something was wrong.
"Boom!"
