Primordial Wilderness: I Repeatedly Offered Poisonous Schemes! Houtu Advised Me to Calm Down

He instinctively looked up.

His gaze pierced through the void.

He saw, billions of miles away, boundless thunder tribulation beginning to converge, and most crucially, within it, the faint, broken silhouette of a Golden Crow.

The Golden Crow's gaze burned with hatred, as if it wanted to forcibly impose the tribulation and eliminate this soon-to-be-born member of the Wu Clan.

But it was blocked by the Heavenly Tribulation.

It even discovered with shock that the gathered power of the Heavenly Tribulation was far weaker than the tribulations of others who had cultivated to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm, leaving it furious but unable to voice its anger.

At the same time, Chu Xuan's gaze shifted, and he too was somewhat surprised.

"I didn't expect him to be the one to impose the tribulation..."

Chapter 19: Hou Yi Crosses the Tribulation! Severing the Immortal Dao's Fortune! (Begging for flowers and monthly tickets)

It wasn't the fact that the other party was imposing the tribulation that surprised him, but rather that the other party would be the one surprised.

Although Eastern Emperor Taiyi had been backlashed by the Heavenly Tribulation Dao Fruit, he had still spent some time refining it and devouring a large amount of Heavenly Tribulation Law.

Even after distributing six Dao Fruits to other Demon Race Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals, he still couldn't shake it off in a short time.

To peel away the Heavenly Tribulation Dao Fruit would require no small amount of time.

And because the Primordial Wilderness now had too many places requiring tribulation, even with the six Dao Fruits sharing the burden, he was still driven to act. Clearly, for a considerable period, this Golden Crow Quasi-Saint, the second Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Race, would be tied down by the trivial matters of tribulation.

Chu Xuan had spent some time in Pangu Hall refining the Pangu Essence Blood, and by the time he came out, decades had passed.

Now, even if this Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor wanted to delay further, the Heavenly Dao would absolutely not allow it, leading to the scene they now witnessed.

"Fortunately, we set strict rules forbidding the tribulation imposer from interfering with the tribulation itself; otherwise, he might have succeeded," Chu Xuan said with a smile.

Houtu Ancestor Wu, hidden in the shadows, had clearly also seen the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor imposing the tribulation and found it somewhat amusing.

The truth was, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, hidden within the Tribulation Cloud at this moment, was truly in a miserable state.

Decades had passed, and the Dao wounds on Eastern Emperor Taiyi were still far from healed.

The Twelve Ancestral Shamans who had attacked him were all Great Divine Ability Users at the very least; their laws had pierced through his body, leaving eternal imprints that would be difficult to erase in a short time.

Even his projection, when it descended, was implicated and unable to manifest fully.

Dragging such a wounded body, constantly splitting into billions of avatars to impose tribulation across the Primordial Wilderness—anyone who saw it would fall silent.

And more than anything, it was humiliating.

There were not a few experts in the Primordial Wilderness who could see through the Tribulation Cloud; at the very least, any Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal could do so.

Because the current Heavenly Tribulation could only impose tribulation on those breaking through to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm.

Once one reached Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, they were free from tribulation.

Perhaps because Chu Xuan and Houtu's gazes were too blatant, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, who was in the midst of the tribulation, sensed it and suddenly looked over.

Then, a shocking fury erupted in his eyes.

Because he saw Houtu, one of the culprits who had led him into this predicament.

In Eastern Emperor Taiyi's view, if the Twelve Ancestral Shamans hadn't suddenly interrupted him, even if the essence of the Heavenly Tribulation Great Dao was powerful, he wouldn't have been injured so badly; at worst, he would have simply failed to refine it.

The reason he had fallen to this state was entirely due to the Twelve Ancestral Shamans' ambush.

And that was why he was even more furious.

What had once been a conflict over the Great Dao had now become a new grudge piled on an old one.

He wished he could take control of the Heavenly Tribulation right now and impose it on Houtu.

Unfortunately, as an executor of the Heavenly Tribulation, no matter how furious he was, he could not break free from his duties.

The Heavenly Tribulation Authority, after being restricted by Chu Xuan and other Heavenly Tribulation Dao Ancestors, now had no power left, only obligations.

In the end, he could only helplessly cast a deep glare at Houtu, then turn back to continue preparing to impose the tribulation on the Great Witch below who was about to break through.

As for Chu Xuan, he paid him no mind.

A mere Primordial Unity Golden Immortal ant.

Because he couldn't target Houtu, he could only pour all his power into the Heavenly Tribulation, trying to see if he could alter it somehow.

But after trying for a long time, he still couldn't change anything.

Just as he had sensed before, the strength of the Heavenly Tribulation was still far too weak.

"The Wu Clan has no Primordial Spirit, so their tribulation is weaker? What kind of logic is that!" Eastern Emperor Taiyi sensed the various messages coming from the Heavenly Tribulation and grew even angrier.

He couldn't understand why the Heavenly Dao would leave such a flaw, especially since the Wu Clan was already stronger than Immortal Dao cultivators before reaching the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm. Wouldn't this just let the Wu Clan cross their tribulations with ease?

The Heavenly Dao is unjust!

Eastern Emperor Taiyi fumed with indignation.

But he was powerless to do anything about it.

He had no idea that this was not the fault of the Heavenly Dao, but rather a backdoor Chu Xuan had deliberately left behind, a reason he had provided.

"Wouldn't this be too weak?"

As an Ancestral Shaman, Houtu could clearly see with her own eyes that the calamity shrouding Hou Yi at this moment was far too weak.

It made her frown slightly.

Though it was something to be glad about that her clan's tribesman faced less danger, if it ruined a greater matter, that would be disastrous.

But Chu Xuan just smiled at her words and explained to Houtu, who was hidden in the shadows.

"The Wu Clan has no Primordial Spirit, so the calamities they face should naturally be weaker!"

"The Three Disasters and Nine Calamities, even the Thunder Tribulation, are all more specifically aimed at the finer changes of the Primordial Spirit!"

"The Heavenly Dao is impartial—the Wu Clan has no Primordial Spirit, so why should they undergo tribulation the same as those who possess one?"

"If they have the ability, let them train their bodies too!"

"Besides, enduring a stronger tribulation also has its benefits. The Wind Calamity tempers the Primordial Spirit, and the Water Calamity and Fire Calamity similarly have the advantage of forging it!"

"We of the Wu Clan can't even envy such an opportunity!"

Chu Xuan spoke lightly, leaving Houtu speechless.

He was not speaking idly. Even the Heavenly Tribulation Dao Ancestor needed a reason to alter calamities with his authority and open a backdoor.

Disasters and calamities indeed benefit the growth of immortals.

But that benefit was completely irrelevant to the Wu Clan, because the Wu Clan was already the strongest race. No matter how much tribulation tempered them, it could never compare to the countless innate laws of the Wu Clan.

Moreover, the purpose of establishing the Heavenly Tribulation was to cut off the momentum of the Heavenly Court. Regardless, that momentum had already been severed. The Heavenly Court had accumulated endless Karma, earning the resentment of all races, and it was only a matter of time before it exploded.

"Of course, now that the Heavenly Court has lost one leg, the next step should indeed target the Immortal Dao. If my subsequent plans are combined with the Heavenly Tribulation, it might truly cut off half the fortune of the Immortal Dao!"

"Hongjun wants to usher in the age of Quasi-Saints? Then let him try—let's see who is more skilled!"

Chu Xuan's bearing naturally exuded confidence, a certain gleam flashing in his eyes.

Houtu, watching Chu Xuan who was clearly different from other Wu Clan members, her beautiful eyes flickered, but she said nothing more.

Before long, the calamity in the distance finally finished brewing.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi, who had been watching eagerly, was overjoyed.

He finally made his move.

He spared no effort in bringing down the calamity.

Unfortunately, the rules were too restrictive. Even with his full power, using limited strength combined with battle tactics, he ultimately could not threaten this Wu Clan member at all.

The Wu Clan was already powerful, and on top of that, the calamity was so weak.

In the void, a Wind Calamity that could grind space itself to dust swept in, yet it could not shake the Wu Clan's true body.

Water Calamity and Fire Calamity rose from the Wu Clan's body, but they could not corrode or burn it.

The burly man carrying a great bow, Hou Yi, passed through them with ease.

As for the Nine Calamities' Tribulation Qi, it could not even shake the Wu Clan's formidable true body.

With a slight surge of his blood and qi, he crushed space itself, and his boundless vitality scattered the Nine Calamities' Tribulation Qi in an instant.

It made Eastern Emperor Taiyi stomp his feet in frustration.

It was only when the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation descended that Hou Yi finally took it seriously.

A faint scorch mark appeared on his body.

But before Eastern Emperor Taiyi could rejoice...
