At the summit of the mountain.
On top of a huge boulder, Lu Chuan sat like an old monk in meditation, his entire being having entered a profound and mysterious state.
The aura around him was withdrawn, not leaking out in the slightest.
However, the long empty air around him faintly rippled like water, extremely unstable.
As if it might shatter at any moment.
Boom...
Suddenly, at that very moment, an abrupt change arose.
The space that had been rippling like water instantly bloomed with piercing firelight.
Endless flames seemed to pierce through space-time, surging out from infinite dimensions, and in an instant completely submerged Lu Chuan.
That blaze, Flames Burning the Sky, instantly illuminated the heavens.
For a time, the entire mountain peak was dyed fiery red by the flames, and a terrifying Calamity Aura erupted from the void, filling heaven and earth.
This scene immediately alarmed everyone of the Human Race on the mountain peak.
Whether they were guarding the Great Array or mining the Heavenly Origin Spirit Gold Mine, at that moment they all felt a terrifying Calamity Aura spring up everywhere, descending like heavenly might and pressing down on them until even breathing became difficult.
"Damn it, what's going on?"
"Calamity Aura is springing up everywhere, heavenly fire is burning—someone is undergoing tribulation..."
"It's coming from the summit. The one on the mountaintop is undergoing the fire tribulation among the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations, but how is that possible? Isn't he at the Transcendent Peak? Why is he only undergoing tribulation now?"
The mountain peak instantly exploded into an uproar.
For a time, all kinds of discussions kept rising, and everyone stared toward the summit with utterly bewildered faces.
He was clearly already at the Transcendent Peak, so why would he undergo tribulation again?
