Rule Space

"I hereby declare, in my capacity as the Golden Dragon King and Soul Beast Sovereign, that from this day onward, our Soul Beast Clan will no longer need to undergo Heavenly Tribulations to break through!"

Boom!

After hearing Gu Yuexi's words, the Heavenly Tribulation seemed to have been enraged as well. The dark clouds in the sky grew thicker and thicker, shrouding the entire Star Dou Great Forest in darkness.

Muffled thunder rumbled. Streaks of silver danced wildly amid the dark clouds, and dazzling lightning tore through the heavens as it struck toward the Golden-Haired Woman below, as though it would destroy the world.

At this moment, the power of the Thunder Tribulation had increased countless times over. Its terrifying might could even kill Divine Officials. Rather than a Thunder Tribulation, it was more fitting to call it Heavenly Punishment!

Ever since the God Realm had created this Heavenly Tribulation Rule hundreds of thousands of years ago, no living being had ever dared to challenge its authority as Gu Yuexi had. Never!

Therefore, it would use its strongest method to kill this woman who dared challenge its authority, to uphold the majesty of Heavenly Punishment!

It would let those Soul Beasts see clearly what fate awaited anyone who dared challenge the authority of the Heavenly Tribulation Rule!

Yet in the face of this Heavenly Punishment, Gu Yuexi merely gave a light palm strike and shattered the lightning without causing the slightest ripple.

Rumble!

The sight before it completely enraged the Heavenly Tribulation Rule. It swore that it would make the Golden-Haired Woman pay the price!

Thus, even more terrifying Heavenly Punishment began to take shape within the tribulation clouds.

Endless pressure swept through heaven and earth, causing every Soul Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest, aside from Gu Yuena, Gu Xingling, the Evil Emperor, and Di Tian, to tremble uncontrollably. One after another, they collapsed onto the ground, unable to move.

The Soul Beasts felt as though they had been pressed beneath a towering mountain. They could barely breathe, unable even to raise their heads and watch the battle in the sky.

Since the birth of the Soul Beast Clan, they had always been threatened by Heavenly Tribulations. It could even be said that, in the era before Soul Tools, Heavenly Tribulations had killed the greatest number of high-level Soul Beasts.

Nearly every Soul Beast with more than a hundred thousand years of cultivation feared undergoing a Heavenly Tribulation. They did everything they could to suppress their cultivation rather than break through. This was also one of the reasons Soul Beasts cultivated more slowly than Soul Masters.

"Do not be afraid. From today onward, the days when Soul Beasts must undergo Heavenly Tribulations will become history forever!"

Seeing this, Gu Yuena immediately spread out her Divine Power, dispelling the pressure of the Heavenly Tribulation. She then formed a silver barrier that protected the entire Star Dou Great Forest within it!

Then, her light purple eyes stared fixedly at the beautiful figure of the Golden-Haired Woman in the sky, and an imperceptible smile appeared at the corners of her lips.

"Hehe, Sister looks beautiful when she fights too."

Roar!!!

At once, the Soul Beasts felt the mountain pressing down upon them vanish completely. They all raised their heads, and wave after wave of beastly roars rang out, as though they were cheering for the Golden-Haired Woman in the sky.

Boom!

Hearing the repeated beast roars below, the Thunder Tribulation seemed to be enraged once more. It immediately summoned a massive amount of the power of heaven and earth into the clouds.

It raised the level of the lightning storm by another degree, determined to kill the Golden-Haired Woman.

"Oh? The power of the Thunder Tribulation is still increasing? It seems it truly has been enraged. But if you want to kill me, even your master could not do it if he were here, much less a mere Heavenly Tribulation Rule like you!"

Gu Yuexi silently estimated that the power of this Heavenly Punishment should now be enough to seriously injure some Third-Level Gods.

After all, the Thunder Tribulation of Douluo Star had merely been established to limit Soul Beasts—or rather, nonhuman creatures—from becoming too powerful. It would not be excessively strong. Being able to injure Third-Level Gods was already its limit.

"Hmph, is this all the power you have? Disperse!"

Divine Power surged from Gu Yuexi, instantly condensing a gigantic golden dragon claw in the sky that reached toward the tribulation clouds.

Boom!

A massive amount of lightning power struck toward the golden dragon claw, turning the sky above all of Douluo Star into a sea of lightning.

Yet the golden dragon claw was extraordinarily sturdy. No matter how the surrounding lightning struck it, it could not harm it in the slightest. Like a towering fortress guarding the forest, it stood immovable!

The golden dragon claw rose swiftly. From the moment it condensed until now, only one or two seconds had passed, yet it had already reached the airspace occupied by the tribulation clouds.

Then, the sharp dragon claw slashed through the skies of Douluo Star like a sharp sword. The previously arrogant tribulation clouds and Heavenly Punishment also vanished into thin air at that moment.

The azure sky reappeared, and brilliant sunlight spilled across the earth. The Star Dou Great Forest below remained lush and verdant, so natural that it was as though nothing had ever happened.

From the appearance of the Heavenly Punishment to Gu Yuexi dispersing it with a strike, the entire process had lasted only twenty short seconds. It had been incredibly brief, yet it left behind an unforgettable memory for the living beings of Douluo Star.

Cheers from the countless beasts even rang out within the Star Dou Great Forest. For many years, the Soul Beast Clan had been plagued by Heavenly Tribulations and had not dared to break through at all.

Even if they had the ability to survive a Heavenly Tribulation, they would usually end up covered in wounds. When had there ever been a day like this, where such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation was directly scattered?

But that was not what Gu Yuexi wanted. She wanted to enter the Rule Space in Cosmic Space, modify the rules of the God Realm, and completely end the Soul Beast Clan's Heavenly Tribulations!

With that thought, she rushed into Cosmic Space at extreme speed. Endless Divine Power erupted and gathered upon the Golden Dragon Spear, while its spear tip bloomed with dazzling brilliance.

Whoosh!

Within the vast universe, the sharp spear tip carried supreme divine might as it cut a massive spatial rift ahead.

Then, a strange space appeared before Gu Yuexi. Countless Rule Chains coiled within it. This was the Rule Space of this universe, the place that represented the rules of the entire universe.

Not far from the entrance to the rift stood an extremely special existence.

Unlike other naturally born rules, which existed within the Rule Space in the form of chains, it was a humanoid figure emitting white light, surrounded by countless bolts of purple lightning.

This was the Heavenly Tribulation Rule that had been forcibly inserted by the God Realm. As for the purple lightning, Gu Yuexi was extremely familiar with it. It was the signature skill of the God of Destruction: Destruction Godly Lightning!

The fact that the two existed in this form within the universe's Rule Space once again proved that this was not naturally formed, but something added by the God Realm itself!

"Using Destruction Godly Lightning to protect the Heavenly Tribulation Rule? But now that even the God of Destruction is dead, what can you masterless divine lightning do to me!"

"Original Body, Heaven and Earth!"

Gu Yuexi swiftly revealed her Golden Dragon King true form. Then, her body rapidly shrank as she charged toward the Heavenly Tribulation Rule at extreme speed.

Roar!

Seeing this, the Heavenly Tribulation Rule immediately let out a howl and mobilized the Destruction Godly Lightning around it to kill Gu Yuexi.

"Seed of Destruction, absorb them!"

A purple sphere appeared out of thin air beside Gu Yuexi and directly absorbed the surrounding Destruction Godly Lightning into itself.

This was precisely the God Position and Seed of Destruction of the God of Destruction that she had seized from Tang San while in the Douluo God Realm.

Gu Yuexi's speed in her Original Body, Heaven and Earth state was incomparably fast. The instant the Destruction Godly Lightning had been completely absorbed, she had already arrived before the Heavenly Tribulation Rule. Her dragon claw shot out and directly seized it in her hand!
