At that, Daoist Yang Mei froze slightly and replied in a heavy tone, "No. I'm waiting here for a tribulation that is about to arrive!"
A tribulation even someone as powerful as Daoist Yang Mei had to face?
Tongtian was somewhat confused after hearing Daoist Yang Mei's words.
What kind of tribulation could it be?
What could involve someone with such unfathomably profound cultivation?
"Tongtian, I hope we'll have the chance to meet again in the future. Farewell!"
Daoist Yang Mei clearly did not want to reveal too much. After saying that, he left directly.
Tongtian was still standing there in a daze. He muttered to himself, "Is Daoist Yang Mei going to prepare for the great tribulation?"
Tongtian thought about what Daoist Yang Mei had said, and his desire for greater cultivation grew even stronger...
In the Underworld of the Primordial Land.
At that moment, Houtu had just finished cultivating when a terrifying aura suddenly burst through the ground. The earth trembled incessantly!
Houtu was a Houtu Ancestor Witch to begin with, and the law she specialized in was related to the earth. She possessed an extremely strong affinity with the land.
Some time ago, Tongtian had also given her Earthly Path Sublimation. Now, her earth power had risen to a terrifying level.
"Let me see how powerful you are. Earthly Path Sublimation, rise!"
Houtu's eyes were filled with longing for freedom. That longing had become the power that allowed her to break free from the Heavenly Path's control. She immediately unleashed Earthly Path Sublimation.
Boom!
Wave after wave of powerful fluctuations broke through the earth, causing even the void to tremble.
Before long, the Underworld began swaying violently in every direction. This was caused by the effects of Houtu's spell.
The disturbance within the Underworld quickly spread across the entire land, causing the earth to quake and the mountains to shake.
Such an obvious disturbance had long since been detected by the powerful experts.
At that moment, inside Spirit Mountain of the Western Teachings.
As the Underworld continued trembling and swaying, Spirit Mountain was also affected.
The Two Western Saints were sitting cross-legged on meditation cushions. After sensing such a massive disturbance, they could not conceal the shock in their eyes.
"This power is truly formidable!"
"Judging by the looks of it, this is coming from the Underworld?"
Jieyin said, dumbfounded.
A power that could spread such a great distance probably could not be produced without the Saint realm!
This should have been caused by Houtu alone, right?
"That person is finally planning to resist?"
Looking at the disturbance below, Zhunti spoke in a solemn tone.
Kunlun Mountain, where Yuxu Palace was located, was likewise affected.
At that moment, Yuanshi directly stabilized the shaking of Kunlun Mountain.
He appeared in the void above Kunlun Mountain and stared toward the Underworld.
At that moment, a rare trace of wariness appeared on Yuanshi's proud face.
The incomparably powerful force immediately placed tremendous pressure on even him.
Inside Wa Huang Palace, they were likewise affected without exception.
The ground inside the palace shook violently. Amid the force of the tremors, Nuwa sensed Houtu's aura!
Such a powerful force—what was Houtu doing?
"Could it be that Houtu can no longer endure being trapped in the Underworld?"
"The great tribulation is about to arrive. Does she want to come out and join the fun as well?"
Nuwa muttered to herself, her expression constantly changing.
At that moment, above Taiqing Palace.
After sensing the disturbance, Taishang began his divination. As he continued, his brows gradually knitted into a line.
What was happening in the Underworld?
This vast power had already surpassed mine!
Could Houtu finally no longer endure her solitude?
With such a massive disturbance, was she trying to let us know so that we would rush over and fight a great battle?
At that moment, Hongjun, inside Zixiao Palace, suddenly widened his eyes.
An aura of terrifying might erupted from him, and his face was filled with disbelief.
Boom!
His hands constantly changed through various incantation gestures. Before long, the Heavenly Path evolved a ball of light that appeared before him. Within the hazy radiance, it seemed possible to see what Houtu was doing.
After seeing Houtu's actions, his eyes immediately became as cold as ice.
At that moment, on the Primordial Land, the Heavenly Path could no longer restrain itself and manifested in person!
People looked at the abnormal phenomenon above their heads. A fluorescent glow shrouded the void, and an angry, irresistible might came from within it.
This was the manifestation of the Heavenly Path!
Just as heaven and earth were undergoing their disturbance, Tongtian also returned to the Primordial Land.
He had just stepped out through the spatial Heavenly Path when he noticed the disturbance, and his gaze was drawn toward the void.
"Hehe, the Heavenly Path has manifested again?"
"Good thing I came back in time. I almost missed a good show!"
Tongtian was secretly pleased that he had managed to return in time.
There would not be many good shows to watch before the great tribulation arrived. It would be a pity to miss one.
At that moment, the protagonist of this disturbance was staring at the void with a mocking expression.
Above the void, he sensed the Heavenly Path beginning to grow furious.
Houtu looked toward the void and sneered, "Hehe, this isn't over yet!"
Earthly Path Sublimation still had one final step remaining.
"Rise!"
The moment Houtu finished saying this, the earth began shaking even more violently. Mountains and rivers shattered, and the entire Primordial Land was jumping up and down!
Some living beings with low cultivation had already been frightened into lying flat on the ground, not daring to move at all.
Was this world about to change?
Not only had the Heavenly Path manifested, but the earth beneath their feet was refusing to back down either.
Could it be that the sky and the earth were about to fight?
The living beings of the Primordial Land speculated.
At that moment, the will of the Heavenly Path had been thoroughly enraged by the Earthly Path. The void trembled incessantly as an astonishing aura pressed down!
Aside from the Saints, all the other living beings were suppressed by the heavens, their legs trembling uncontrollably.
The Quasi-Saints were slightly better off; their faces were merely somewhat pale.
Houtu had fully unleashed Earthly Path Sublimation, and the aura of the Earthly Path slowly rose to the point where it could contend with the Heavenly Path!
At the same time, people felt a terrifying aura coming from the earth as well. The shock on their faces made it impossible for them to return to normal.
At this point, if the Heavenly Path were a person, flames would probably be blazing from his face.
The Heavenly Path had been the emperor of this Primordial Land for far too long. The Earthly Path's resistance was like a slave trying to rise up and become its master. How could it not be furious?
The Heavenly Path, enraged, directly summoned dense black lightning to descend upon the Underworld!
Rumble, rumble!
Bolt after bolt of black lightning struck the Underworld. This was the Heavenly Path's method of punishing the Underworld and suppressing it once more.
"Hah! That's it?"
Houtu's face was filled with disdain as she spoke lightly.
Even without borrowing the power of the Earthly Path, she would not have taken these black lightning bolts seriously. Moreover, she now possessed the power of the Earthly Path, making her even more contemptuous of the black lightning. It was nothing more than child's play.
