Faced with the Heavenly Dao's wrath, Su Yang had almost no chance of survival.

The power of the Zixiao Divine Thunder was such that even Quasi-Sages had to face it with caution! The slightest mistake could lead to complete annihilation!

"Teacher is actually this furious?"

Sect Master Tongtian gazed at the sky filled with lightning, billions of bolts stretching across the firmament, and couldn't help but murmur, "I only mentioned it casually, I didn't expect Teacher to actually make such a decision."

Hongjun opened his eyes upon hearing this and looked at Sect Master Tongtian, saying calmly, "It is not of my own will."

Sect Master Tongtian was stunned. It wasn't Hongjun who made the move?

Then who could it be?

Wasn't the will of the Primordial World's Heavenly Dao embodied by Hongjun, who had merged with the Dao himself?

Hongjun slowly said, "Su Yang offended the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao naturally will not tolerate him."

"This Zixiao Divine Thunder was sent down by the Heavenly Dao itself."

Sect Master Tongtian fell silent for a moment, looking at the scene in Qingshan City, feeling a trace of regret.

In his opinion, Su Yang was a young man who suited his temperament. But now, with the Zixiao Divine Thunder descending, he likely had no hope of survival.

In the inn, it wasn't just Changxi and Xi He who were pondering how Su Yang would deal with the Zixiao Divine Thunder.

A group of Demon Clan Demon Kings, Human Race cultivators, the Third Holy Mother, and Nuwa, among others, were all filled with doubt, wanting to know how Su Yang would face the Zixiao Divine Thunder.

Did Su Yang still have a way to deal with it?

In their eyes, only top-tier Quasi-Sage experts, at a great cost, could possibly barely withstand the Zixiao Divine Thunder!

Although Su Yang had previously resolved the first Heavenly Punishment with a single word, this tribulation was likely not something he could easily handle.

Yet Su Yang seemed to ignore it all, showing no signs of nervousness.

One had to know, that was the Zixiao Divine Thunder that even Quasi-Sages dared not underestimate!

The Zixiao Divine Thunder, capable of easily annihilating Grand Unity Golden Immortals and even making Quasi-Sages wary, was actually forced back by a single sentence from him!

Inside the inn, countless Human Race cultivators and Demon Clan powerhouses held their breath, not daring to exhale.

They had already harbored thoughts of retreating, yet a voice in their hearts kept echoing, as if reminding them they absolutely could not leave!

Coupled with the billions of Zixiao Divine Thunder bolts gathering outside, seemingly ready to pour down at any moment, no one dared to take a step rashly, fearing that the divine thunder might shift and accidentally injure them.

That would truly be a disaster without cause!

But as they looked at Su Yang's calm demeanor, they couldn't help but feel full of doubt.

Why did he look so confident? Did he truly have a way to overcome this Heavenly Tribulation?

If it were ordinary Zixiao Divine Thunder, it would be one thing, but this time, billions of divine thunder bolts were descending at once!

Grand Unity Golden Immortals would be instantly annihilated, Quasi-Sages would have to exert all their strength, and even Sages, if not careful, would have to face it with solemnity!

Yet Su Yang's expression remained as usual, as if all of this was commonplace.

Could it be that he truly had a reliance?

"It's just a Heavenly Punishment, quickly retreat!"

Su Yang frowned and shouted coldly.

Upon hearing this, the crowd in the inn erupted in an uproar!

What did he say!?

"Just a Heavenly Punishment"!?

Heavens! That was a Heavenly Punishment!

And he dismissed it so easily?

As soon as the words fell, an invisible force seemed to surge from within the inn, breaking through the roof and heading straight for the heavens!

In the sky, a beam of light pierced through the clouds!

And the Zixiao Divine Thunder, which was already crackling with immense power, seemed to be provoked, suddenly erupting with even more intense light, hurtling down towards the inn!

The two forces collided with a bang, shaking heaven and earth!

High above, billions of lightning bolts churned ceaselessly!

But as that stream of light swept past, the Zixiao Divine Thunder melted away like ice and snow, dissipating into nothingness, one after another!

In a flash, the dark clouds slowly dispersed!

What kind of technique was this? To break through the Heavenly Tribulation with a single sentence!

Before, when Su Yang broke the Three-Nine Divine Thunder, people could still accept it, but now, the Zixiao Divine Thunder was also dispersed by his words!

What kind of ability was this!

Everyone's expressions were filled with shock. At this moment, it wasn't just ordinary cultivators; even the top powerhouses could no longer fathom Su Yang's depth.

Nuwa also widened her eyes, looking at Su Yang with a face full of astonishment.

"What kind of technique is this? This young man... how did he do it?"

As a Heavenly Dao Sage, she had witnessed countless Heavenly Tribulations!

Yet this person before her, seemingly without any cultivation, had easily resolved Heavenly Punishment twice!

Was this the confidence he had shown earlier?

"What kind of technique is this?"

Changxi and Xi He's gazes were filled with shock and astonishment. They never imagined that the Zixiao Divine Thunder could be so easily broken!

In their understanding, even the most top-tier Heavenly Dao Sages would need to exert all their strength when facing the Zixiao Divine Thunder, and might not be able to resolve it easily.

"Mr. Su, what realm has he truly reached!?"

Everyone in the inn looked at Su Yang in unison, their eyes filled with shock and incomprehension.

Those Human Race cultivators were completely bewildered, not understanding how he had done it at all.

As for the Demon Clan and Demon Kings mixed among the crowd, their faces were pale, and their hearts were filled with dread. They had come to capture Su Yang, but they never expected him to possess such abilities!

Now that Su Yang had dispersed the lightning with a single word, how could they dare to harbor any further ambitions? They only hoped not to be discovered and to leave quietly.

In the Great Luo Heaven, within the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

The Jade Emperor and Taibai Jinxing exchanged glances, seeing shock and doubt in each other's eyes.

Zixiao Divine Thunder!

It was actually dispersed by Su Yang's single sentence!

What kind of divine ability could accomplish this?

One must know that even Quasi-Sage powerhouses had to go all out to deal with the Zixiao Divine Thunder. Even Sages had to be cautious when facing it.

But now, Su Yang seemed to be strolling leisurely, scattering the lightning tribulation with a single word.

Taibai Jinxing was horrified, his pupils contracting slightly. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Who exactly is this Su Yang?! He can even resolve the lightning tribulation sent down by the Heavenly Dao so easily!"

The Jade Emperor was equally full of doubt. He believed that if he were to face the Zixiao Divine Thunder, he too would need to expend great effort to deal with it.

But Su Yang, who seemed to have no cultivation and no spiritual energy fluctuations within him, why could he so easily resolve such Heavenly Punishment!

Even more so, as soon as his voice fell, the thunderclouds scattered and vanished as if avoiding a plague god!

What kind of foundation was needed to possess such ability?

The Jade Emperor immediately circulated his immortal power and began to calculate with his fingers.

After a moment, his eyes showed even greater shock.

Even he could not ascertain Su Yang's origin!

"Hiss—"

The Jade Emperor gasped, muttering to himself, "Who exactly is this Su Yang? Could he be one of the Chaos Demon Gods hidden deep within the Primordial World!?"

Chaos Demon Gods were beings born before the heavens and earth were opened.

The three thousand Chaos Demon Gods controlled the origin of the three thousand Great Daos.

After Pangu opened the heavens, these beings either died or went into hiding, rarely appearing.

At this moment, the Jade Emperor suspected that Su Yang might be one of those long-hidden Chaos Demon Gods!

His heart tightened, and he thought, "If he's not a Chaos Demon God, who else could so easily resolve the Zixiao Divine Thunder?"

Deep within the chaos, in a hidden palace.

An elder with white hair, enveloped in immortal energy, suddenly opened his eyes in the chaos.
