Time needs to be advanced by five seconds, and to outsiders, that is indeed only five seconds.

When the Heavenly Tribulation descends, all beings are equal.

Faced with the sudden Heavenly Tribulation, Earth had no ability to resist and could only passively accept its baptism. Heaven would not choose to retreat just because there were many innocent lives here.

What's meant to come will come, so it unhesitatingly unleashed its power, oppressing and crushing everyone.

Dark clouds covered the area, and the surrounding fifty miles were shrouded in darkness. The only bright spot was the occasional flash of lightning within the clouds.

But was that really an electric arc?

White, red, purple, black, the colors of a rainbow.

A series of thunderous booms echoed in my ears, deafeningly loud.

This was Fu Hua's second time experiencing the Heavenly Tribulation, but she was much stronger than the first time. It felt as if a heavy mountain was pressing down on her shoulders, her figure sinking deeper and deeper, and her feet were almost level with the sea.

The will of Heaven is exerting pressure; it will not allow those afflicted to stand in the air in confrontation.

Amidst the gloom, a seven-colored lightning bolt flashed, then slowly disappeared, finally returning to a state of utter darkness. The oppressive darkness intensified the somber atmosphere, causing a feeling of unease in one's chest.

Suddenly, a golden glint flashed from the darkness, as if the dark clouds had been sliced open by a golden blade, revealing what lay within.

It was a palace, its entire body radiating golden light, shining brilliantly. Upon seeing it, one immediately felt a sense of holiness, as if it were inviolable and inviolable.

The golden light was so strong that its entire appearance could not be seen clearly. Only the scene in the square in front of the hall was striking. It was more like an execution platform than a square.

On the broad execution platform, a simple guillotine stood alone, without an executioner or an official; it was just an ordinary sight.

Then, his sharpness suddenly became apparent.

Blinding, Soul-Slaying

Another blow, just like that one.

No one saw how the guillotine moved; all that was seen was a flash of golden light that attacked Fu Hua with the force to cleave the heavens and destroy the earth, severing the air, tearing apart space, and revealing the void beyond.

In that instant, it was as if the world had lost its color, and only this one strike existed in the heavens and the earth.

Suddenly, a strange change occurred. From Fu Hua at its center, a transparent membrane expanded, instantly enveloping her and the Earth. A sense of ethereal disorientation, as if traveling through time and space, rose from the depths of her heart.

Stomach acid began to surge up, as if it were about to burst out of my mouth. My vision blurred, and my mind was in turmoil. When I opened my eyes again, the world had already changed, and the landscape had been overturned.

A strange energy was washing over everyone's bodies in the air. This power was unfamiliar to Kaisha and the Earthlings, but it was not rejected by their bodies. Rather, it complemented them.

So pure, so gentle, even ordinary people could feel the concentration, as if taking a single breath would make you ten years younger, let alone the powerful individuals present here at this moment.

This feeling was even more pronounced for them; different energies were cleansing their bodies and strengthening their meridians. Just one second here made them feel a bit stronger than when they were on Earth.

The entire Angel Clan Xiong Bing Lian and the angels were astonished by this. Looking around, the mountains and rivers were overturned, the once vast sea had disappeared without a trace, the white clouds drifted lazily and scattered, the forests were lush, birds and beasts roamed, and the mountains were layered upon each other.

A scene from ancient times, with wooden houses and thatched huts standing tall in the jungle.

Did they really travel through time?

No, not at all. It's more like a time-space transfer.

When Qian Renxue and Jingwei returned here, the energy in their bodies suddenly recovered at a faster rate. In the blink of an eye, they had recovered about 30% of their strength. At this moment, Qian Renxue was also able to barely unfold her six angel wings.

However, none of that matters; what matters is the person in the center of them.

Fu Hua, also known as Crimson Kite

The once clear sky was now filled with dark clouds, thunder rumbled, and golden light filled the sky.

Such a large scene naturally attracted countless birds and beasts from all around, some in animal form, some in half-animal form, and some in perfect human form.

Some look up, some gaze into the distance, and some spread their wings and fly, all wanting to witness the realm of immortals undergoing tribulation.

Naturally, Little Yue'er and the others stationed inside Taixu Mountain also saw it and immediately came closer. Although they were curious about these suddenly appearing strangers, they still bowed to Jingwei first.

"Lord Jingwei, you and Crimson Kite Immortal have returned," Fire Phoenix Feather said first.

When questioned, Jingwei remained silent, only gazing into the distance with a grim expression at the endless dark clouds in the sky.

Perhaps because the laws of the two worlds are different, Fu Hua in the Taixu Realm floats higher in the air than she did on Earth. From a distance, she appears as a dark figure confronting the sky.

The Fire Phoenix Feather and the others shifted their gaze and saw the same scene, and even more so, felt an immense pressure pressing down on them.

They are spirit beasts, and to fully transform into human form, they must undergo a tribulation of lightning. Although Fire Phoenix Feather and the others are currently at the Form Transformation Stage, they have not yet undergone the tribulation of lightning and cannot be considered to have reached a perfect Form Transformation Stage. In the Taixu Realm, all spirit beasts at this stage are in the same situation.

The only difference is the amount of energy accumulated.

"That is... Crimson Kite Immortal?" the Spirit Fox asked softly.

A gentle rub, yet possessing Charm, a light and ethereal voice echoed through the air, reaching Kaisha's ears and the entire Xiong Bing Lian.

Within the Xiong Bing Lian, every man was irrepressibly aroused by lust, their expressions lewd and suggestive.

The Spirit Fox's delicate brows furrowed slightly, a feeling of disgust rising within her.

These strangers are disgusting.

"What is this?" Angel Yan's heart couldn't help but flutter for a moment, but she quickly suppressed it.

Kaisha raised an eyebrow, her expression intrigued. At this moment, she had already risen from her throne and stood in the air, taking in everything before her.

"It's an innate Charm; her aura is pure, unlike Morgana's, which is full of aggression."

"Queen Kaisha, where is this place? There is absolutely no record of it in my database."

"That's normal, because this might be another world we've never known before."

"Another world?" the Angel Leng, bewildered.

"It can be viewed as Sub-biological world."

"I see, they're just inferior Sub-biological," the Angel Leng.

This is the pride of being born a battle angel, which appears to some extent in every battle angel, but it is more prominent in Leng.

"Queen Kaisha, the creatures in this world are very powerful," Angel Yan said through the communication.

Kaisha nodded, not denying it.

The four figures that appeared before them, along with other hidden entities from all corners of this world, possessed an aura no less than that of a king.

The term "Sub-biological world" is a derogatory term for it.

The two forces had different intentions. In the sky, the Heavenly Tribulation had arrived as scheduled, and its original formation was not changed by the change of scenery.

As soon as the golden light formed, it slashed down instantly.

Slaying Immortals

Slaying immortals and destroying the Dao, cutting down true immortals, slaughtering the Great Dao

However, at this point, the Immortal Slayer technique had lost its power. It might be able to intimidate people with its aura, but it could no longer slay immortals.

Eight pure white Soul Ring appeared simultaneously, their power surpassing that of a single Immortal-Slaying Blade.

Power against power, the Immortal Slayer is defeated.

Power against power, colliding in mid-air

A deafening explosion erupted, and the pure white light shone once more, though this time it was much dimmer. The Immortal Slayer had severed yet another Soul Ring.

The second Soul Ring shattered.

Fu Hua's body was instantly blasted into the forest, crushing a dense thicket of trees.

The Heavenly Tribulation persisted; it did not disappear because of Fu Hua's defeat. What it sought was the complete annihilation of Fu Hua.

The second Immortal-Slaying Blade descended, this time two Immortal-Slaying Blades.

Without the slightest hesitation, he slashed down in an instant.

Boom

Another patch of lush, dense forest collapsed, filling the air with thick smoke and dust.

It is said that smoke does not cause harm, which is the basic principle, so on the Execution Platform, the Executioner's Blade still shines.

The third, the fourth, the fifth...

Nine is the extreme number, and ten is the ultimate.

Supreme Nine-Nine

The Immortal Slayer fell nine times, which shows how much Heaven values him. If he could overcome it, he would attain the supreme position; if he could not, he would simply be buried in the ground.

Where the Heavenly Tribulation struck, the land was already cleared. Birds, beasts, and forests alike were all reduced to wastelands by its power.

At the center, smoke swirled, obscuring the view of anyone. Apart from the occasional rumbling, indicating that the Heavenly Tribulation had not yet ended, Jingwei would have thought that Fu Hua had died again.

While feeling relieved, he brought it up again. It was good that Fu Hua was not dead, but undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation while seriously injured was extremely dangerous.

Keep in mind that this was only the first tribulation of slaying an immortal, yet it already brought down a full nine [unspecified calamities].

As the ninth Immortal-Slaying Blade fell, the Immortal-Slaying Platform that appeared in the dark clouds slowly retracted its sharpness, returning to its ordinary appearance from the beginning.

Slaying Immortals and Demons, Failed

But it was not a complete failure.

The Execution Platform disappeared, and dark clouds descended once more. However, this time, the clouds were merely dense and no further calamities were brought down, but the black clouds seemed even more oppressive.

It was as if a terrifying creature resided within, and when it revealed its power, it vowed to devour people, bones and all.

The calamity ended, the smoke cleared, the jungle was in a sorry state, but the people were in an even worse state.

Mixed with what was indistinguishable as blood or mud, it stained the land, the crimson seeping into the soil and turning into a deep brown. The blood stained Fu Hua's body, and the blood on her forehead blurred her vision.

Nine gruesome knife marks were slashed across his thin body, no more, no less.

Arms, thighs, shoulders, abdomen, and a back that was constantly bleeding; the blood soaked the ground, like a small pool of blood.

Fu Hua lay supine in a pool of blood, her eyes bloodshot, staring directly at the dark clouds. There, a shadow even deeper than the clouds moved within them, filled with a deathly power.

Is it deathly silent?

Fu Hua felt a pang in her heart, then slowly closed her eyes. The wound on her forehead, grazed by the Immortal Slayer Blade, was still bleeding, and the blood seeped into her eyes, making them feel irritated. Only by closing her eyes could she alleviate the pain.

As darkness fell, Fu Hua recalled a scene from the past: lying in the same place, experiencing the same physical pain and the same tingling sensation.

That was the tingling sensation of the wound healing, the muscles mending, the nerves reconnecting, followed by decades of slumber, and then awakening once more...

The roar in my ears ceased, and something finally revealed itself from the dark clouds. What was it? It resembled a dragon, but it was more like an Evil Dragon, its entire body exuding an aura of death.

That was a dragon that brought death, its eyes bloodshot, staring directly at Fu Hua lying supine in a pool of blood, its lips and teeth ferocious, each a deadly weapon.

But at this moment, Fu Hua did not have the energy to confront it. Seven of the eight Soul Ring disappeared, and the only white Soul Ring of the Du Liu surrounded Fu Hua, as if protecting her and shielding her.

Her faint aura fluctuated, like a flickering candle in the wind, seemingly about to go out at any moment, but within her body, another new force was constantly repairing Fu Hua's damaged body.

New life and destruction, two extreme forces, appear simultaneously within a person, clashing and merging with each other before being devoured.

Within his dantian, a fist-sized amount of Source Power was rapidly circulating, gradually absorbing the two forces. The intersection of these three forces would inevitably make the other two wary, thus prompting them to merge and compete with him.

Therefore, the devouring became even faster.

The Source Power is reviving, and the milky white has been tinged with color—the noble color of crimson blood, the color of crimson gold.

Little by little

The original small reddish-gold color changed faster and faster as the Source Power flowed rapidly, until almost half of it turned into reddish-gold.

Then, the Evil Dragon moved.

Without a breath, without a ripple, not even a trace of the dark clouds being stirred, a black line was drawn in the sky, instantly swallowing the blood-soaked Fu Hua and turning that land black.

Sisi white smoke rose in the air, corroding the soil.
