Di Jun and Taiyi: Did Our Clan Truly Offend the Heavenly Dao? It Ran Away Before Even Facing the Tribulation?

Sensing another Thunder Tribulation descend, all the beings in the demon race capable of undergoing tribulation panicked.

Jiu Ling's miserable howls still echoed in their ears. How long had it been, yet another Thunder Tribulation had arrived?

This time, they all felt that someone within the demon race had offended the Heavenly Dao.

But none of them were decision-makers of the demon race. How could they have offended the Heavenly Dao?

Unless something had gone wrong when Demon Crown Prince Lu Ya underwent his tribulation earlier.

Otherwise, how could the demon race repeatedly face such terrifying Transformation Thunder Tribulations after Lu Ya had successfully transcended his own?

Moreover, the power of this Thunder Tribulation was almost no different from the Eight-Nine Thunder Tribulation just now. Many beings capable of undergoing tribulation shook their heads. They had no confidence that they could survive it!

"Second Brother, has the Heavenly Dao targeted our demon race?"

"If so, our people will likely have a hard time undergoing tribulations in the future!"

Di Jun pondered as he looked at Taiyi, who had just finished delivering the Imperial Decree. There was a trace of melancholy in his eyes.

When Jiu Ling had faced the Thunder Tribulation earlier, he had been extremely excited.

Now, his face was full of worry.

After all, he was the Demon Emperor, the one in charge of the demon race's decisions. He naturally had to find a way to calm the countless demon race citizens.

"Could it be because of that trace of Heavenly Dao Blessing within the Tribulation Clouds earlier?"

"It shouldn't be!"

"That was a blessing granted by the Heavenly Dao to Nephew Lu Ya. I merely knocked it down and left it for Nephew Lu Ya. How could that have angered the Heavenly Dao?"

At this moment, Taiyi could not help but fall into deep thought. At last, he recalled how, after Lu Ya had successfully transcended his tribulation, he had forcibly retained that strand of Heavenly Dao Blessing from the Tribulation Clouds.

Could the Heavenly Dao be targeting the demon race over something like this?

Yet he felt that something was off. How could the Heavenly Dao be so petty?

However, at this moment, it was not only demon race experts such as Di Jun and Taiyi who were puzzled. Even the many Great Powers and Saints who sensed that the demon race was once again facing a Thunder Tribulation revealed confused expressions.

Near the demon race!

Zhunti in Golden Dao Robe slowly appeared.

"Could it be that the Transformation Thunder Tribulation has already slipped free of the Heavenly Dao's control?"

"Or has the Heavenly Dao been deliberately targeting the demon race all along, intending to advance the matter of the calamity?"

He looked toward the Tribulation Clouds above the demon race, as though he had made some sort of conjecture.

At the same time, he lightly waved his hand, sending a beam of light sweeping toward Jiu Ling as she fell from the sky toward the ground.

He had come to the demon race intending to recruit the Long-Arm Ape, but he had ultimately arrived one step too late. The demon race had beaten him to it.

Since that was the case, he could not make the trip for nothing, could he?

Although this Nine-Headed Lion had failed her tribulation, her talent and foundation were both extraordinary.

If he carefully instructed her, then when she faced the Transformation Thunder Tribulation again, she could still become a fine disciple.

Rumble!

While Great Powers from all sides were astonished that the demon race had encountered another Thunder Tribulation, terrifying rumbles once again rang out from the Tribulation Clouds above them.

"Th-this is actually my Transformation Thunder Tribulation?"

"What is going on? Why am I only sensing it now?"

"Could it be that, like Jiu Ling, I am being punished by the Heavenly Dao?"

At that moment, a demon fox covered in grayish-white fur with eight tails suddenly trembled and let out panicked cries.

"You should have said earlier that it was your tribulation!"

"Go face the tribulation at once! You actually hid among us—are you trying to get us killed?"

"Damn fox demon! I was even thinking of befriending you, and yet you want to harm me!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, the many demon race beings who had been gathered around him were all greatly alarmed.

They angrily berated the Eight-Tailed Demon Fox while rapidly retreating into the distance.

Inside the Demon Emperor Palace!

A woman in a white gown, with a seductive figure and enchanting features, revealed a look of astonishment.

"It is Little Eight's Transformation Thunder Tribulation?"

"Little Eight has not left Qingqiu for ten thousand years. This is the first time I have brought him out of Qingqiu!"

"Why..."

The woman muttered to herself repeatedly, seemingly unable to understand.

How could such a terrifying Transformation Thunder Tribulation descend upon a member of her clan?

Eight-Tails had never committed any act disrespectful toward the Heavenly Dao!

Thinking of this, she hurriedly rose and bowed to Di Jun and Taiyi above the great hall.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, reporting to the Eastern Emperor!"

"The Tribulation Transcender this time is my younger brother!"

"However, after my younger brother was born, he cultivated in Qingqiu and never left. He absolutely has not offended the Heavenly Dao!"

"I hope Your Majesty and the Eastern Emperor can take action and protect him during his tribulation..."

The woman understood that this was the Demon Emperor Palace. Even if she wished to protect Eight-Tails during his tribulation, she needed to seek Di Jun and Taiyi's permission first.

Furthermore, her clan's ancestor had not come, so she also needed to borrow Di Jun and Taiyi's authority to protect Eight-Tails.

"So that is how it is!"

"The Tribulation Transcender is a disciple of the Qingqiu Fox Clan?"

"If that is the case, rest assured. This Emperor will not stand by and watch him perish!"

Taiyi glanced at the woman in the white gown, a gleam flashing through his eyes.

Then he looked toward Di Jun, seemingly seeking his approval.

After seeing Di Jun nod, Taiyi abruptly rose to his feet and headed outside the Demon Emperor Palace once more, apparently intending to protect the Eight-Tailed Demon Fox during his tribulation.

This would not only calm the demon race citizens, but also give them the opportunity to win over the Qingqiu Clan, which had always been unwilling to serve the two brothers.

Most importantly, they needed to find out whether the Heavenly Dao was truly punishing the demon race.

As Taiyi walked out of the Demon Emperor Palace, the Eight-Tailed Demon Fox was already trembling all over in fear.

Above him, the terrifying pressure within the Tribulation Clouds swept wildly toward the Eight-Tailed Demon Fox, intensifying the fear in his heart.

Rumble...

At that moment, bursts of thunderous rumbling sounded once more.

Within the Tribulation Clouds, the first bolt of Tribulation Lightning had begun to gather.

Sensing this scene, the Eight-Tailed Demon Fox became even more frantic.

"It's over. This is really over!"

"The ancestor has not arrived, and Elder Sister is inside the Demon Emperor Palace and has not appeared. What am I supposed to do?"

"These are eight layers of Tribulation Clouds—the Eight-Nine Thunder Tribulation!"

"How am I supposed to survive it?"

"No, I can't wait here to die!"

After muttering to himself repeatedly, the Eight-Tailed Demon Fox seemed to have lost all desire to undergo the tribulation.

Or rather, he was so terrified that he had no intention of even trying to transcend it.

He gritted his teeth, and his aura surged wildly. Without looking back, he fled frantically beyond the demon race's territory.

This startled the demon race experts watching nearby. They immediately cleared a path, afraid that the Thunder Tribulation's power would envelop them as well.

"He ran away?"

"A Golden Immortal actually fled outright?"

"Can that help him avoid the Thunder Tribulation?"

"..."

Even more demon race members were left stunned.

Eight-Tails had actually run away? Wasn't that far too cowardly?

Had he not seen that the Eastern Emperor had already stepped out of the Demon Emperor Palace, seemingly intending to protect him during the tribulation?

Naturally, Taiyi also sensed the Eight-Tailed Demon Fox fleeing.

His expression instantly turned ugly, and cold killing intent appeared in his eyes. "Damn it! This Emperor has already appeared to protect you during your tribulation, yet you actually ran away?"

"Where is the dignity of our demon race?"
