The Truth About the Heavenly Tribulation! Chu Xuan Breaks Through to Great Luo Golden Immortal! (Please Vote and Send Flowers)

He was destined to become a Quasi-Saint!

What was wrong with him becoming a Quasi-Saint?

The Heavenly Tribulation had only just been established and had no one to govern it. The Great Dao was bound to have loopholes. How could it possibly stand against a Quasi-Saint?

At once, Eastern Emperor Taiyi strode forward, seized all six Heavenly Tribulation Dao Fruits, and swallowed them whole.

Then he drew in the many blessings of Heavenly Dao Merit.

He would break through to Quasi-Saint in one fell swoop while subduing the Heavenly Tribulation Dao Fruits!

Chapter Eight: The Truth About the Heavenly Tribulation! Chu Xuan Breaks Through to Great Luo Golden Immortal! (Please Send Flowers and Monthly Votes)

Seeing the changes in the Demon Heavenly Court,

the many Great Divine Ability Users of the Primordial Wilderness stirred, having guessed the Demon Clan's intentions.

Their thoughts began to stir once more.

Vast amounts of Merit poured into Eastern Emperor Taiyi's body.

The Wind Fire Water Disaster, Lightning Tribulation, and boundless Tribulation Qi engulfed the second Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Heavenly Court in an instant.

A terrifying presence shook heaven and earth.

It continued to rise,

growing stronger and faster by the moment.

Gradually, even the Tribulation Qi seemed unable to drown out the Heavenly Emperor within it.

Watching this, Di Jun felt both pleased and worried.

He admitted that he was taking a gamble.

But for the sake of the greater cause, he had no choice.

Even if this might nurture a threat in his younger brother and put their bond to the test, there was no other way.

As for why he didn't step up himself, it was because he had no confidence either. It was far too dangerous.

As the leader of the Demon Clan—and, in practical terms, the one who did the thinking—he couldn't afford to fall into the Heavenly Tribulation's trap.

At last, a presence that reached through heaven and earth erupted.

Early Quasi-Saint!

Rumble—

Breaking through to Quasi-Saint with Merit was not the best method, but it created an almost instantaneous gulf between him and a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

In that moment, Eastern Emperor Taiyi's majestic figure looked down upon the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

The Tribulation Qi was completely suppressed.

Countless Great Divine Ability Users watched this powerful being with grave expressions.

Since the Dragon-Han Great Tribulation and the decline of the Three Races, the first Quasi-Saint of the Immortal Dao to appear openly had emerged.

Dijiang of the Wu Clan had also attained Quasi-Saint, but he was still of the Wu Clan and walked a different path from them.

Somewhere in the depths of the unknown,

a colossal, ancient bell, radiating an aura of chaos, rang out.

Clang!

The restrictions etched across the Chaos Bell flared to life, and its terrifying power instantly suppressed all the Tribulation Qi.

The six Heavenly Tribulation Dao Fruits were continuously refined into Eastern Emperor Taiyi, who had just become a Quasi-Saint.

He wasn't merely bearing them. He intended to forcibly refine them and make them his own.

That way, he could forcibly change the Heavenly Tribulation.

"Perhaps it really can be done!"

Some beings spoke in hushed voices.

After all, this was only equivalent to a Great Luo Golden Immortal Dao Fruit—not one belonging to a peak Great Luo Golden Immortal, but at most one from the early or middle stages.

This Dao Fruit showed that the Heavenly Tribulation established by the Heavenly Dao was still inadequate and incomplete.

If a Quasi-Saint refined it with all his might, he might be able to gain a measure of control.

Many powerful figures placed their hopes in the Demon Heavenly Court.

After all, no one wanted the power of the Heavenly Tribulation to harm them—or their friends and family—one day.

And yet, even as the entire Primordial Wilderness watched, they had no idea what was happening elsewhere.

Meanwhile, beneath Buzhou Mountain, inside Pangu Great Hall,

the Ancestral Shamans who had successfully established the Heavenly Tribulation descended from the chaos of the void.

The Heavenly Dao's mysterious gift arrived: a vast amount of Heavenly Dao Merit, along with seven immense authorities—far greater than the six Heavenly Tribulation Dao Fruits of the Demon Heavenly Court.

One by one, the Ancestral Shamans refined the authority that belonged to each of them.

Merit poured down like a waterfall, flowing toward the Six Ancestral Shamans and Chu Xuan.

Though the Merit had yet to match the fortune gained from establishing the Heavenly Court, Merit wasn't the main benefit this time. The most important prize was the seven immense authorities, so powerful that even Great Luo Golden Immortals would shudder.

These were authorities on the level of a Dao Ancestor.

They were authorities they had condensed themselves, validated by the Primordial Wilderness, which then poured immense benefits back to them.

For now, they were still at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level.

But as the Heavenly Tribulation evolved, these authorities would only grow stronger, reaching at least the Quasi-Saint level.

And if the eight authorities—including the Demon Clan's—were combined into one, they would form a true Quasi-Saint-level Heavenly Tribulation Dao Fruit.

That was the truth behind the establishment of the Heavenly Tribulation Great Dao.

It was nothing like the Primordial Wilderness's guess that the newly established Heavenly Tribulation was still weak—not even close.

In terms of its total power, it was already strong enough to threaten Quasi-Saints.

With further evolution, it might not reach the level of a Saint, but it could certainly reach the peak of Quasi-Saint.

The Demon Heavenly Court had gotten the scraps—and taken on all the responsibilities.

After descending from the void and completing their proofs of the Dao, the Ancestral Shamans who had established the Heavenly Tribulation swallowed their respective authorities, refined their Merit, and strengthened themselves.

Even beings of their cultivation level had gained greatly.

"I sense an opportunity to break through to Quasi-Saint!"

Gonggong was the first to speak.

Zhurong immediately cried out in delight as well.

"Excellent! Excellent! I sense it too!"

Next, Qiangliang and the other Ancestral Shamans confirmed the same.

Every Ancestral Shaman who had established the Heavenly Tribulation had sensed an opportunity to break through to Quasi-Saint.

Once they had fully absorbed the benefits they had gained this time, they would be able to break through.

That was the reward for their efforts.

The other six Ancestral Shamans were shaken and envious.

Their elder brother Dijiang had broken through, giving them hope of doing the same.

But it was only hope. Even though they were all peak Great Luo Golden Immortals, breaking through still depended on opportunity and luck. They hadn't expected that simply establishing the Heavenly Tribulation would let the six Ancestral Shamans get there first.

Watching them, Xuanming Ancestral Witch grew envious. She went over to Houtu, wrapped her arms around her little sister in mock anger, and grumbled,

"You know how good I've always been to you! How could you not have Chu Xuan bring me along too?"

"This was a chance to break through to Quasi-Saint!"

Houtu's cheeks flushed. She gave Xuanming Ancestral Witch a reproachful look, slipped out of her arms, and said helplessly,

"The Heavenly Tribulation follows its own design. Our fellow Daoist established it according to its natural laws—how could it be changed at will?"

"And, Sister, don't talk nonsense. What do you mean, 'your Chu Xuan'? He's already a fellow Daoist. Besides, wasn't I left out of the Heavenly Tribulation Dao Ancestor positions too?"

Xuanming Ancestral Witch naturally understood all that, but she simply enjoyed teasing her little sister. As one of only two women among the Ancestral Shamans,

she was naturally closest to Houtu.

"I don't care. We'll let it go this time, but next time you have to get your Chu Xuan to bring me along!"

"As for whether he's yours—"
