Chapter 435

Just then, a magnificent and vast bell tolled, shaking the entire void!

Immediately, invisible ripples spread out, causing everyone's eardrums to ache and their heads to throb, as if a thunderbolt of billions of tons had exploded, making their heads dizzy and almost causing them to fall to the ground.

"Twelve Bell Tolls of Mourning! Unheard of before! Is this the Dao Funeral Rite unique to a Celestial King?"

In fact, all the billions of beings in the world are the transformations and evolutions of the Dao. As the being closest to the Dao, the disappearance of the Immortal King would cause a huge upheaval.

"It was too tragic!"

Some of the powerful figures turned pale with shock and cried out in alarm.

The funeral of a Celestial King was extremely solemn and imposing. Once it resounded throughout the heavens and earth, it was accompanied by extraordinary phenomena, announcing His end to all living beings in the universe!

In the distant reaches of the void, a hazy glimmer of light bloomed—a boundless, dazzling crimson light that stained the heavens and myriad realms. A suffocating sorrow spread, bringing tears to everyone's eyes!

"Waaah--"

The sound of the bells grew louder and louder, becoming increasingly terrifying!

All living beings that heard the bell toll bowed their heads and paid the highest tribute to the departed Celestial King!

This is the funeral of the Celestial King!

It was not just the funeral of an ancient being, but also the passing of a Celestial Dao Fruit, the complete end of a glorious past, and the true death of a Celestial King!

Between the vast emptiness.

Xiao Minghuang witnessed the fall of the Immortal King Bo Feng.

"This time... it's really over..."

She sighed deeply, her heart filled with complex emotions.

In fact, there was no deep-seated hatred between her and Immortal King Bo Feng, nor was there any reason for them to fight to the death.

Initially, she only wanted to track down Ju Hongying, but it eventually turned into a battle between immortal kings!

Suddenly, a beam of golden light appeared from the void, and almost instantly transformed into a dazzling golden sea of lightning!

"The Immortal King Tribulation, it's finally here..."

Xiao Minghuang's gaze sharpened, and she slowly raised her head.

At this moment, the thunder in the sky became even more terrifying. Within that sea of thunder, countless golden lightning bolts seemed to be wandering and shuttling, each one giving people a feeling of trepidation.

This is the true Tribulation Lightning of the Great Dao!

The mighty power of Heaven!

"Such powerful primal force..."

Xiao Minghuang's beautiful eyes lit up. The sea of lightning evolved from such a massive primordial power was enough to provide her with a large amount of Tribulation Extinguishing Divine Light, allowing her cultivation to advance further.

Rumble!!!

In the vast void, the sea of lightning surged, seemingly having accumulated enough energy.

Click!!

Immediately afterwards, a deafening explosion was heard, and from within the endless golden light, a golden beam ten thousand feet long suddenly cleaved out!

"Snort..."

Xiao Minghuang gave a soft hum and lightly swiped her finger forward.

A beam of starlight bloomed at her fingertips!

"Splash!"

When she wielded that ray of starlight to its fullest extent, the power of the entire galaxy in the void was instantly drawn towards her.

In an instant, the endless lightning was swallowed up by the starlight, turning into a sky full of flowing fire.

Splash~

Starlight fell like rain, spreading in all directions, cool and comfortable, containing boundless power, engulfing the entire sea of thunder.

In an instant, starlight filled the air, and the sea of lightning vanished completely, turning into nothingness.

As the Immortal Tribulation subsided, those beams of Tribulation Extinguishing Divine Light scattered in all directions.

"Trying to run?"

With a wave of her hand, Xiao Minghuang generated a suction force, causing all the Tribulation Extinguishing Divine Light to fly back and fall into her palm.

She pressed a ball of divine light against her chest.

A tingling and burning sensation suddenly rose from her body, spreading until finally, the void around her glowed with a faint golden light, and even her skin shimmered with a golden luster.

"Ah... that feels so good..."

She let out a soft breath, feeling an indescribable sense of comfort throughout her body, as if her energy and spirit had increased.

The dense Tribulation Extinguishing Divine Light merged into his body, and Xiao Minghuang's realm increased by nearly three hundred tribulations!

"In the realm of Immortal Kings, one must undergo at least a thousand tribulations to trigger a large-scale Immortal King Tribulation. Otherwise, I'd love to undergo tribulations every day..."

Xiao Minghuang murmured.

She is currently only at the 1,300th stage of the Immortal King realm, and there is still a long way to go before reaching the 2,000th stage.

However, with the Great Dao Power of the Universe and the mysterious power within her body, she could kill a Celestial King like the Immortal King Bo Feng, who had endured nearly three thousand tribulations, through the combined effect of the two!

Thinking of this.

Xiao Minghuang subconsciously sensed the mysterious power within her body.

However, this time it seemed to have vanished without a trace, like a clay ox sinking into the sea.

"This mysterious power seems to have vanished..."

Xiao Minghuang frowned. She could feel that not only had the mysterious power disappeared, but the strange suction force had also vanished along with it.

There must be some connection between these two things...

Xiao Minghuang fell into deep thought.

"Oh, right... Xiao Ying!"

Suddenly.

With a thought, Xiao Minghuang unleashed the laws of the Immortal King, rapidly spreading across the void and searching for every trace of space.

Soon, she spotted the little girl in a corner.

She was in terrible condition, covered in blood, barely breathing, as if she might die at any moment.

"You're still alive..."

Xiao Minghuang was taken aback, then breathed a sigh of relief.

She would feel guilty if the little girl died in front of her.

Xiao Minghuang flicked her fingertips, and wisps of immortal light flickered, enveloping the little girl in an attempt to help her recover and stabilize her nearly shattered origin.

"Big... Big sister..."

The little girl's face was as pale as paper. She forced a smile and spoke with difficulty.

You'll be alright!

Xiao Minghuang said decisively.

"Big sister... is concerned about me..."

The little girl smiled sweetly; she knew that Xiao Minghuang was comforting her.

She didn't need comforting words; just knowing that her older sister cared about her was enough.

"I'll take you home!"

"Um..."

The little girl obediently responded and then fell into a deep sleep. She was too tired and needed to rest and heal.

Let's go.

Xiao Minghuang composed himself, cradled the little girl's frail body, and took a step, beneath which countless stars surged.

But in a short while.

Then he returned from the world of the Longevity Body to the Li Yan Heavenly Kingdom.

Although, at this time, only a ruined Immortal King Court remained of the Li Yan Heavenly Kingdom.

All the remaining worlds, large and small, were destroyed in the war between the Immortal Kings.

In the dilapidated court of the Li Yan Immortal King.

A young man stood alone; it was Ju Hongsheng.

He had been waiting here ever since Xiao Minghuang left.

A flash of light appeared.

Xiao Minghuang emerged from the void, carrying Ju Hongying in his arms.

"Xiao Ying?!"

Seeing Xiao Hongying's appearance, Ju Hongsheng was startled and hurriedly went to greet her.

At this moment, Ju Hongying's life force was extremely weak. Her once exquisitely beautiful face was now covered with wrinkles, and her skin was dry and dull.

"Brother, I'm fine."

I can't speak Ju Hongying said weakly.

"Don't worry, I'm here, Xiao Ying will be fine!"

Xiao Minghuang said solemnly.

Thank you!

Ju Hongsheng took a deep breath and bowed.

He knew, of course, that only the Ziwei Immortal King could save Xiao Ying now.

"You're welcome. If it weren't for your father, I wouldn't have been able to become a Celestial King so quickly."

Xiao Minghuang shook her head slightly, "If I have the opportunity in the future, I will travel through the River of Time to retrieve your father's true spirit and help him reincarnate and cultivate again!"

"Thank you, Immortal King!"

Ju Hongsheng was deeply moved and bowed in gratitude once more.

"Now that the Immortal Slaying Tribulation is imminent, the Heavenly Realm will surely be plagued by frequent disasters. The Lan Que Star Domain in the universe is already in my hands, Cangming Star Domain is within my grasp. Are you willing to come with me to the universe?"

Upon hearing this, Ju Hongsheng shook his head.

"Thank you for your kindness, Immortal King, but the Li Yan Heavenly Kingdom is the culmination of my father's life's work. I must stay here and rebuild the Li Yan Heavenly Kingdom!"

Ju Hongsheng said in a daze.

"Have you thought it through?"

"..."

There was no response.

There is no greater sorrow than a broken heart.

Xiao Minghuang could tell that Ju Hongsheng's heart was dead.

Perhaps it was because everything he cherished was destroyed before his eyes, completely crushing the young man, who was no longer able to pull himself together.

"Brother, are you really going to stay here?"
