Quick Come, Quick Go! (Read for updates!)

Yang Teng was still in his room, struggling to stand up.

The next moment.

Gu Yena's figure appeared instantly before the door of Yang Teng's dormitory. She pushed it open and took one look at the situation inside, shock flashing through her silver eyes.

"What is happening? The plane is rejecting you!"

Gu Yena's voice carried a rare sense of urgency, no longer as icy as it had been before.

"A situation like this should only occur for a Title Douluo or someone breaking through to the God rank!"

Yang Teng knelt on one knee, the bones throughout his body creaking.

"Can you help, Na?"

Yang Teng squeezed these words through his teeth, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

Gu Yena did not hesitate.

"Resist the heavenly tribulation? No problem!"

She stepped forward, silver light surging from her body as the aura of the Silver Dragon King's bloodline began to permeate the room.

"No, help me conceal it!"

Yang Teng looked up abruptly, his eyes bloodshot.

"With such a massive disturbance, being discovered will surely bring a lot of trouble!"

Gu Yena froze.

She stared at Yang Teng in astonishment, having assumed this man would ask her to help him resist the tribulation—after all, this was a heavenly tribulation that only appeared when a soul beast broke through the hundred-thousand-year threshold.

Yet he hadn't mentioned resistance at all, asking only for concealment!

"This tribulation..."

Gu Yena started to speak but stopped.

"I must endure it myself!"

Yang Teng hissed, every word sounding as if it were being forced out from his chest.

"Otherwise, it will only become more terrifying in the future!"

His gaze was filled with determination; the roguishness and laziness of the past had vanished, replaced by a near-paranoid persistence.

Gu Yena looked at Yang Teng, her heart stirring slightly.

It was something that earned her admiration.

She did not try to persuade him further, simply nodding.

With a grasp into the void, a silver-white spear appeared in her hand out of thin air, its shaft flowing with a starlike luster.

Outside Tianshui Academy, Shui Yunxia, who was still in shock, suddenly felt her heart sink.

A sudden, heart-palpitating sense of crisis made her shiver instinctively.

The spear in Gu Yena's hand at this moment was none other than the "Silver Dragon Spear"!

"Hold on."

Gu Yena said only two words.

She raised the Silver Dragon Spear and lightly slashed at the space in front of her.

A pitch-black rift appeared out of thin air, its edges shimmering with silver radiance.

Through the rift, one could see the scene on the other side: a dense primeval forest, towering ancient trees, and a rich aura of life.

And just then.

A scene that felt completely out of place occurred.

Gu Yena put away the Silver Dragon Spear, leaned down, and slipped her arms under Yang Teng's armpits and behind his knees, lifting him up entirely in a "bridal carry."

Before Yang Teng could even react, Gu Yena had already stepped into the spatial rift.

The moment the two disappeared, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly stalled.

As if having lost their target, they began to dissipate rapidly.

The oppressive feeling that had shrouded the entire Balaque Kingdom receded like a tide, and sunlight spilled back onto the earth.

The entire process took less than three breaths.

On the palace walls, Tie Zhan had just finished assembling the soul masters who had arrived and was preparing to set up a defensive formation.

Looking up at the sky that had instantly cleared, he stood frozen in place.

"What the hell!"

The Guardian Hand couldn't help but curse.

"The heavenly tribulation just disappeared like that? What about the soul beast that was about to break through the hundred-thousand-year mark?!"

He opened his senses to their fullest, sweeping across the entire royal capital, yet he could no longer find a single trace of the heavenly tribulation.

It was as if the apocalyptic scene from moments ago had been nothing more than a collective hallucination.

Liu Dingran walked to his side, his expression grave.

"Tie Zhan, what is going on?"

"I don't know."

Tie Zhan shook his head, his eyes filled with confusion.

"The heavenly tribulation... it dissipated on its own. This defies all logic; there has never been such a record."

"Could it be that the tribulation failed?"

A minister asked cautiously.

Tie Zhan remained silent for a moment.

"The lightning tribulation hadn't even descended yet, so how could there be a failure? This situation is as if... as if the target of the heavenly tribulation suddenly vanished."

This conclusion sent a chill down everyone's spines.

What kind of existence could suddenly vanish, to the point where even the heavenly tribulation could not find it?

Star Dou Great Forest, Lake of Life.

Di Tian was soaking in the lake water, enjoying a rare moment of leisure.

As the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, an eight-hundred-thousand-year soul beast, and the strongest fierce beast on the continent, he had been in a good mood lately; the energy provided by that million-year ice silkworm had further refined his cultivation.

At this moment, a terrifying pressure descended from the sky!

"Heavenly tribulation?!"

Di Tian stood up abruptly from the lake, his black hair flying.

"It isn't time for me to break through yet!"

He quickly tidied his attire, donning his black robe, and appeared above the lake in an instant.

Almost simultaneously, several powerful auras arrived from various parts of the forest.

Emerald Swan Bi Ji arrived first; she had transformed into human form, appearing as a gentle woman with green hair.

"Di Tian, what is happening? Who is undergoing a tribulation?"

"It is not me."

Di Tian said in a deep voice.

The next moment, Hell Demon Dragon Zi Ji, King of Ten Thousand Monsters, and Lord Bear appeared one after another. Even the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, the two newly ascended hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, arrived; they had been cultivating on the other side of the forest when they were startled by the aura of the heavenly tribulation.

Lord Bear scratched his head and said in a rough voice.

"I was still absorbing that ice silkworm when I was suddenly startled by this tribulation. Which junior is so inconsiderate, breaking through without giving a heads-up?"

King of Ten Thousand Monsters scanned his surroundings.

"The aura did not originate from within the forest, but the direction of the heavenly tribulation... is very strange. It feels as if it is above us, yet also as if it is very far away."

Di Tian sensed for a moment, his expression shifting slightly.

"This is no ordinary heavenly tribulation. I can feel the will of the plane; it is a tribulation of rejection, targeting a foreign object that should not exist."

"A foreign object?"

Di Tian frowned.

The fierce beasts looked at one another.

Just then, the space above the Lake of Life suddenly tore open a fissure.

Silver light surged from the crack, and a figure holding another person fell out. The newcomer moved with grace, not even disturbing a single blade of grass upon landing.

Di Tian's pupils constricted.

"Master?!"

All the fierce beasts knelt on one knee simultaneously.

Bi Ji, Zi Ji, King of Ten Thousand Monsters, Lord Bear, the Azure Bull Python, and the Titan Giant Ape all lowered their heads in reverence.

The Dragon God's avatar, the Silver Dragon King, the co-ruler of soul beasts, Gu Yena!

What left all the fierce beasts dumbfounded was Gu Yena's current posture.

She was cradling a human youth in her arms. The youth's aura was chaotic, and he was clearly enduring the impact of some terrifying power.

And their Master was actually holding him in such an... intimate position?

Di Tian had seen him before, so he recognized Yang Teng immediately!

Di Tian opened his mouth, unable to speak clearly.

"You, you, you are..."

Gu Yena swept her gaze across the circle, her voice returning to its usual icy chill.

"All of you, fall back. No one is to approach within a radius of ten miles."

"My Lord, this human is..." Lord Bear could not help but ask.

Gu Yena shot him a single look, and Lord Bear immediately clamped his mouth shut.

She carried Yang Teng toward the center of the Lake of Life, the place where the aura of life was most concentrated throughout the entire forest.

"He is to undergo his tribulation here."

Gu Yena said only that, then gently placed Yang Teng onto the surface of the lake.

Yang Teng sat cross-legged, his entire body hovering above the water. He opened his eyes and looked at the group of dumbfounded fierce beasts surrounding him, actually finding the presence of mind to grin.

"Everyone... apologies, I'll be borrowing your precious land... to undergo a tribulation."

Di Tian was shaken to his core.

"Is this the son of the Master of the God Star? He has triggered a heavenly tribulation just by breaking through to level forty!"
