Heavenly God Tribulation and Attack

The matter of "Lord Haoshan" made Zhou Yu somewhat vigilant, but he did not take it too much to heart, instead proceeding with his plan to enhance the strength of his Seven-Star Vine avatar.

Time flowed on, and meanwhile, in the Desolate Era World on the other side.

Zhou Yu's original body and second primordial spirit, both having undergone reincarnation, had cultivated to the perfection of the Void Return stage.

In terms of time dilation, the Desolate Era World was significantly slower than the Swallowed Star World.

Starting from scratch to cultivate the Fiendgod Body Refining, it took Zhou Yu only fifty-some years. Of course, these fifty years were primarily spent accumulating the necessary foundation to break through bottlenecks; gathering energy did not consume much time.

The main reason was that Zhou Yu could easily accelerate time for his original body and second primordial spirit; absorbing starlight to accumulate divine power during time acceleration was quite rapid.

"It is time to undergo the tribulation."

At this moment, Zhou Yu's original body and second primordial spirit both arrived in the void of the Three Realms. Not far away, the True God Zhou Yu stood with his hands behind his back atop a towering mountain, watching the scene.

Hum!

Zhou Yu's original body and second primordial spirit simultaneously raised their auras to their peak. Vast fluctuations of the Heavenly Dao descended, and invisible winds began to howl through the void.

The first of the Heavenly God Tribulations, the Wind Tribulation, had begun.

This Wind Tribulation is quite strong; if an ordinary top-tier Heavenly Immortal were to touch even a sliver of it, they would likely perish in an instant, Zhou Yu thought to himself while standing at the center of the tribulation.

Such a powerful Wind Tribulation was only the beginning; once it reached its peak, it would be even more terrifying.

However, this was not surprising, as Zhou Yu was not only undergoing the Heavenly God Tribulation but also the Celestial Immortal Tribulation simultaneously.

For ordinary body-refining cultivators in the Three Realms, even undergoing the Celestial Immortal Tribulation at the same time was nothing of note; a third-grade Celestial Immortal Tribulation had a negligible impact on the power of the Heavenly God Tribulation.

But Zhou Yu was currently practicing the Nine Turns Immortal Ascension Art, a Qi-refining method he had obtained during his simulation in the "Huntian World," and what he was facing now was a second-grade Celestial Immortal Tribulation.

Heavenly God Tribulation plus a second-grade Celestial Immortal Tribulation—it would be strange if the power weren't immense!

Of course, this level of power was nothing to Zhou Yu. He manipulated the power of space and easily blocked the terrifying winds.

At the same time—

In a mysterious space within the Three Realms, invisible fluctuations appeared, and the Black-Robed God King of the Seamless Gate suddenly looked toward the direction of Zhou Yu's tribulation.

That Immortal Ganyu has started his tribulation? Right near the cave abode of Cang You? The Black-Robed God King pondered rapidly.

In the Three Realms, no tribulation could be hidden from the Seamless Gate. Generally, cultivators who were unwilling to join the Seamless Gate would be harassed or even assassinated during their tribulations unless they had a powerful figure willing to protect them; otherwise, nowhere was safe.

Of course, the Seamless Gate usually harassed those undergoing the Celestial Immortal Tribulation.

The Heavenly God Tribulation itself had little hope of success to begin with.

This Immortal Ganyu's tribulation is almost certain to succeed. Once he succeeds, two terrifying Heavenly Gods will be born. Furthermore, this Immortal Ganyu showed no mercy when he killed Blood Hand previously, which shows he is determined to stand against us. The Black-Robed God King narrowed his eyes.

He was not surprised that Zhou Yu's second primordial spirit was undergoing the Heavenly God Tribulation. As long as the original body and the second primordial spirit both reincarnated their true spirits, they could naturally obtain physical bodies. The difficulty of becoming a Heavenly God did not lie in whether one possessed a physical body, but in whether one was suited for that path.

What was truly surprising was that his original body and second primordial spirit had both reached the perfection of the Void Return stage so quickly.

This True God Cang You hasn't even fully comprehended the Heavenly Dao after such long ages; he shouldn't be that strong. After deep thought, the Black-Robed God King decided to give it a try.

Currently, both sides had a tacit understanding not to trigger battles at the level of True Gods and Dao Ancestors, so they simply wouldn't have them take action.

On the other side—

Zhou Yu's tribulation continued. The Wind Tribulation passed, and the Fire Tribulation failed to pose a threat to him. Although the Lightning Tribulation featured the most powerful "Pure Yang Golden Light Lightning," Zhou Yu still passed through it with ease.

Finally, the Heart Demon Tribulation descended, and Zhou Yu's original body and second primordial spirit fell into it simultaneously.

My memories are partitioned. True God Zhou Yu watched from afar, feeling no surprise.

He had long since experimented with this; when his different avatars fell into illusion-based techniques, their memories would automatically be cut off from the other avatars, preventing a situation where one avatar being killed by an illusion would lead to the death of all others.

However, at this moment, True God Zhou Yu's expression changed.

In the distant void, a massive spatial rift suddenly appeared, and from within it, countless black dragons accompanied by monstrous lightning flew out.

"Two Realms Tribulation Dragon Life-Death Formation!" Zhou Yu naturally recognized this formation instantly.

The Seamless Gate had used this very formation when they attacked the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

The Two Realms Tribulation Dragon Life-Death Formation could be formed by a True God or Dao Ancestor leading a large number of Heavenly Gods and True Immortals, or it could be formed by many Heavenly Gods and True Immortals themselves. Even in the latter case, its power could reach the level of an ordinary True God or Dao Ancestor.

Of course, a single formation could not deal with a True God or Dao Ancestor, but the target of this "Two Realms Tribulation Dragon Life-Death Formation" was not True God Zhou Yu.

The black dragons roared, heading straight for Zhou Yu's original body and second primordial spirit, who were currently undergoing the Heart Demon Tribulation.

When undergoing a tribulation, a cultivator trapped in the Heart Demon Tribulation is at their weakest; if they encounter an attack, they will be killed without any power to resist.

"Ignore True God Cang You; kill that Immortal Ganyu who is undergoing the tribulation."

The Heavenly Gods and True Immortals controlling the Two Realms Tribulation Dragon Life-Death Formation had a very clear goal: to annihilate Zhou Yu's original body and second primordial spirit.

Even if they were blocked, the mere shockwaves of a battle at this level would be enough to annihilate an unprepared Heavenly God.

Not to mention, those who had not yet passed the Heavenly God Tribulation could not even be called true Heavenly Gods yet.

"You seek death!"

Zhou Yu's gaze turned icy cold.

BOOM!

He struck out with a palm, and the surrounding void instantly collapsed.

The black dragons lunging toward Zhou Yu's second Primordial Spirit were annihilated into nothingness in the blink of an eye.

"What?"

The Celestial Gods and True Immortals forming the Two Realms Tribulation Dragon Life-Death Formation were slightly startled. Wasn't it said that this True God Cang You had very mediocre strength?

But before they could dwell on it, Zhou Yu struck out with another palm from a distance, aiming directly at the core of the formation.

"Hold the line!"

The many Celestial Gods and True Immortals erupted with power, attempting to block the strike, but the force contained within that palm was simply too ferocious.

The vast Two Realms Tribulation Dragon Life-Death Formation was blasted apart instantly, sending the Celestial Gods and True Immortals flying backward as they vomited blood.

"All of you, die!"

Zhou Yu struck again. Although both sides had a tacit understanding that True Gods and Dao Ancestors would not intervene, he was not the one who had started this.

If others came to run wild on his turf, was he just supposed to watch?

At that moment, a black-robed figure suddenly appeared in front of the retreating Celestial Gods and True Immortals.

While parrying Zhou Yu's attack, he waved his hand to gather up the Celestial Gods and True Immortals one by one.

This was naturally the Black-Robed God King. Although he had planned this operation believing Zhou Yu's strength wouldn't be very high, he hadn't come entirely unprepared.

After all, Zhou Yu hadn't made a move in a long time; who knew if he had made any progress?

I truly underestimated True God Cang You this time. I never expected his strength to be this astonishing, the Black-Robed God King sighed inwardly. He was no weaker than himself.

However, just as he was thinking this—

A strange power suddenly emerged. The Black-Robed God King parried again, but he only managed to block a portion of it; the rest of the force bypassed his defenses through a shift in space-time.

"Oh no!"

The Black-Robed God King's expression changed, but it was already too late to react.

The terrifying power instantly swept across the Celestial Gods and True Immortals that the Black-Robed God King hadn't yet managed to collect.

Ssh! Ssh! Ssh!

Without a sound, thirty-seven Celestial Gods and True Immortals were simply annihilated in the void.

"True God Cang You, you have some nerve." The Black-Robed God King was furious.

Thirty-seven Celestial Gods and True Immortals! In some peripheral realms, that was the total death toll of an entire realm war.

"The one with nerve is you."

A cold snort rang out, followed by a figure clad in grey robes stepping forward.

"Yao."

The Black-Robed God King calmed down instantly. Yao Emperor, one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the ancient human race, possessed strength at the level of a top-tier True God or Dao Ancestor, no less than his own.

Coupled with the unfathomable True God Cang You, he held no advantage.

"A True God slaughtering Celestial Gods and True Immortals—this is the fine work you've done. We are not finished." The Black-Robed God King spat out a threat before turning to leave.

Yao Emperor and Zhou Yu did not stop him. An all-out battle at this moment would only draw more and more True Gods and Dao Ancestors into the fray. Neither Yao Emperor nor Zhou Yu wished for a decisive war to break out just yet.
