"Disciple, quickly activate your Lingbao to protect yourself! The real test has begun."
The Ancestor Reincarnation stared solemnly at the wildly churning thunderclouds in the sky.
He quickly called out to Xuanqing, who was being protected behind him.
At the same time, a powerful protective shield was placed around Xuanqing.
Upon hearing his master's words, Xuanqing did not hesitate to activate the Five Elements Dao Robe that the Old Ancestor Wuxing had given him.
Not only that, Xuanqing also activated the Purple Lightning Shield, the Demon Suppressing Pagoda, the Reincarnation Pearl, and other Lingbao to hold above his head.
In particular, the Purple Lightning Shield is very effective against Thunder.
Xuanqing placed it on top of his head.
Meanwhile, the Ancestor Reincarnation unleashed all his power, fully activating the Reincarnation Dao Disc.
The Reincarnation Wheel in the sky kept growing larger, becoming even larger than a Great Thousand World, towering above the Daoist Arena.
The same situation was unfolding simultaneously at other Hunyuan Celestial Venerable Daoist Arena.
"Damn it, I absolutely cannot withstand this wave of Heavenly Punishment."
There's no other way; we have to use our trump card.
Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Yang Mei and Reincarnation Daoist Friend had foreseen this scene.
It provided assurance to fellow Daoists like me who have not yet attained the status of Hunyuan Celestial Venerable.
Unfortunately, once this trump card is used, one will have to pay off ten percent of their Destiny/Luck in the future."
Facing the second wave of Heavenly Punishment, which the Heavenly Dao has been accumulating power for.
Those beings who had not yet ascended to the level of Hunyuan Celestial Venerable Soul, including the world, the Xuanhuang, and darkness, paled in shock.
These beings did not hesitate to pull out the trump card that Yang Mei and Reincarnation had prepared for them when they first discussed it.
With their trump cards backing them up, their cultivation level temporarily rose to the Hunyuan Celestial Venerable realm.
With sufficient power, they unleashed their Companion Treasure to withstand the impending Heavenly Punishment.
The second Heavenly Punishment had fully accumulated its power, and Thunder, several times stronger than those of the Great Thousand World, descended.
It collided with the Innate Supreme Treasure floating in the sky.
In that instant, the entire Primordial Wilderness fell silent.
Or perhaps the terrifying thunder caused all living beings to temporarily lose their hearing.
In that instant, countless beings in the Primordial Wilderness simultaneously coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Those powerful individuals who had briefly risen to the level of Hunyuan Celestial Venerable thanks to their trump cards were now coughing up blood.
Of all the powerful reincarnations of the Chaos Demon God involved in this matter, only Reincarnation and Yang Mei remained the most composed.
Reincarnation even has the ability to spare some of its power to help other fellow Daoists who have not yet advanced to the Hunyuan Celestial Venerable withstand the second wave of Heavenly Punishment.
"What terrifying power! Is this the power of the Hunyuan Celestial Venerable?"
It seems I underestimated the power of Hunyuan Celestial Venerable before.
Such a powerful figure, even Peak Hunyuan Golden Immortal, would be easily annihilated before him.
At the Old Ancestor Yang Mei's Daoist Arena, Dijiang stared in shock at Yang Mei, who stood in front of him.
Only now did Dijiang truly perceive the immense power and terror of the Hunyuan Celestial Venerable.
The feeling that Hunyuan Celestial Venerable gave Dijiang was as if he were facing an entire universe.
Zhen Yuanzi was even inferior to Dijiang, and was so shocked by his master's power that he was dumbfounded.
Zhen Yuanzi felt that even the slightest wisp of power from the Heavenly Punishment his master was fighting against could take his life.
Other siblings who worshipped under the Heavenly Venerate included Fuxi Nuwa, Hong Yun.
They also directly felt the power of their own master and gained a direct understanding of the Heavenly Venerate Venerable level.
The second Heavenly Punishment lasted for a full thousand years.
"Damn it, these guys weren't even killed."
Continue to enhance its power, raising it to the level of world destruction.
"I refuse to believe that even a world-destroying Heavenly Punishment cannot kill you."
Jade Capital Mountain Purple Heavens Palace on Yujing Mountain, Hongjun looked at his former fellow Daoists who were still persevering under the Heavenly Punishment.
The resentment in his eyes burst forth.
At the same time, he continued to roar.
"Boom!"
As if in response to the roaring Emperor Hongjun, a terrifying thunderclap resounded once again high in the sky.
Even darker thunderclouds swept in wildly.
At this Primordial Wilderness, apart from the Sun and Moon, and starry sky, the Primordial Wilderness world was plunged into endless darkness.
Pitch black.
"Besides!
"The power of this Heavenly Punishment is so great that those fellow Daoists who haven't yet advanced to the Hunyuan Celestial Venerable will likely perish and their Dao will dissipate."
Looking at the even darker and more terrifying thunderclouds in the sky, the Ancestor Reincarnation frowned deeply.
I never imagined that Heavenly Dao would actually use such powerful forces for this opportunity to educate Destiny/Luck.
With such power mobilized, the day when the Heavenly Dao itself awakens will likely be postponed for many Eon.
"Disciple, activate the great formation. You will maintain it."
"As your teacher, I must also devote all my energy to this, and I have no time to attend to you, my disciple."
After giving Xuanqing a word of advice, the Ancestor Reincarnation unleashed the full power of the Second Heaven of the Hunyuan Celestial Venerable.
They are fully activating the Cycle of Reincarnation, ready for anything.
Upon seeing this, Xuanqing quickly took over control of his master's Daoist Arena and activated the Daoist Arena's formation to its fullest extent.
Elsewhere, the Heavenly Venerate beings were also on high alert.
Xuanhuang, the world, and other powerful figures who had not yet advanced to the Hunyuan Celestial Venerable Tianzun looked at the thunderclouds high in the sky and their expressions changed drastically.
"Again!"
This wave of thunderclouds is beyond what we, who have only temporarily advanced to the Hunyuan Celestial Venerable realm, can withstand.
"You must be elevated to a true Hunyuan Celestial Venerable, otherwise you will perish and your Dao will be annihilated under this Heavenly Punishment!"
The powerful beings from Xuanhuang and the world who had not yet attained the status of Hunyuan Celestial Venerable did not complain about participating in this plan.
Because their complaints are not only useless, but also a complete waste of time.
They all immediately began their attempt to reach the Hunyuan Celestial Venerable realm, which they were already close to achieving.
And you know what? Under life-or-death crises, living beings possess terrifying potential.
Between life and death lies immense terror, but also immense opportunity.
In a desperate Xuanhuang, the world broke through the shackles of the Hunyuan Celestial Venerable and thus attained the Dao of the Hunyuan Celestial Venerable.
In an instant, the aura of their Hunyuan Celestial Venerable Venerables pressed down on the entire Primordial Wilderness.
Soul, darkness, Plague, and destruction were already in great anxiety in the face of Heavenly Punishment.
Suddenly, he felt the oppressive aura of the Hunyuan Celestial Venerable of Xuanhuang and the World Daoist.
They did not blame Xuanhuang and the World Daoist for the influence of the Heavenly Venerate Venerable's aura on them.
Instead, they looked with great excitement in the direction where Xuanhuang and the World Daoist were proving their Dao.
They even bowed in the direction of Xuanhuang and the World Daoist Arena to express their gratitude.
Since Xuanhuang and the World Daoist were able to attain the Hunyuan Celestial Venerable status under the pressure of Heavenly Punishment,
That means they can too.
The enlightenment of Xuanhuang and the World Daoist inspired their spirits and strengthened their resolve in the Dao.
Several powerful demon gods calmed down and began to break through the bottleneck of the Hunyuan Celestial Venerable.
The already precarious bottleneck of the Hunyuan Celestial Venerable was finally shattered under the impact of their great perseverance.
In that instant, the oppressive aura of four Hunyuan Celestial Venerable rose once more from the Primordial Wilderness.
"Congratulations to all fellow Daoists for seizing a great opportunity amidst a life-or-death crisis and attaining the Dao of the Hunyuan Celestial Venerable."
Therefore, we should all be able to safely weather this third Heavenly Punishment."
A terrifying divine sense swept across the Primordial Wilderness, Ancestor Reincarnation was the first to send a divine message to congratulate the other fellow Daoists on their attainment of the Dao.
In this way, their morale will be greatly boosted.
This third Heavenly Punishment, though terrifying, was still unable to annihilate them.
If the Heavenly Dao is in an awakened state, then that's a different story.
