It was still midnight, the sky was completely dark, and there was no moon. A few sparse stars hung lonely in the night sky. The sea breeze, carrying a deep chill, swept over me.
Splash splash splash...
The sound of rushing water was continuous, carried by the wind from the distant shore.
Chu Yun sat on an Nameless hill, in the heart of the forest on Shu Family Island. From his vantage point, he could see vast stretches of trees swaying gently in the cool breeze. The dim light made them appear quite dense and imposing, as if they were merging with the distant sea, flowing slowly with a weighty momentum.
"Recently, the large-scale expansion work has been in full swing. The area of the forest is much smaller than before, but the results of the development are also gratifying." Chu Yun thought to himself, his gaze sweeping across the landscape, and he saw the Nameless Volcano in the distance.
The area was brightly lit, and the construction site, built against the mountainside, could be vaguely seen. Countless craftsmen worked in shifts, day and night, to carry out the construction. Once completed, this would be the new city lord's mansion. If Chu Yun found the construction method of the Temple of Heaven Altar, the new city lord's mansion would have a Tribulation Demon as its protective Demon Beast. It would truly be as solid as a rock.
"Since my rebirth, I've faced countless battles, big and small, like walking a tightrope on a cliff. The slightest mistake could lead to utter destruction. But thankfully, I've overcome them all, and everything is moving in a positive direction. Today, the Heavenly Fox is also undergoing the Spirit Demon Tribulation, something unimaginable in my previous life. It all feels like a dream."
Thinking of this, Chu Yun sighed deeply. Looking again in the direction of Shu Family City, he could only vaguely see a dark shadow.
"My father knows I'm about to undergo the Demon Tribulation, and he probably hasn't been sleeping well. And Shui Ruolan and the others probably know I'm preparing for the Spirit Demon Tribulation too. Hmph... This Spirit Demon Tribulation is known to all, and the risks are immense. Fortunately, I have powerful forces protecting me, providing multiple layers of protection and fending off countless enemies. However, I still can't be careless." Chu Yun's eyes flashed for a moment before finally settling down.
He patted the Immortal Pouch at his waist and released the Heavenly Fox.
Acquiring Demon Crystal in battle and advancing over the corpses of other Demon Beast is the fastest way to increase cultivation. After several consecutive battles, the Heavenly Fox has now grown its sixth wind tail, and its cultivation level is 998 years. Its gleaming fur trembles slightly in the wind. Its six long, fluffy fox tails sway gracefully behind it. Its bright black fox eyes look at Chu Yun with admiration and determination.
The connection between the lights made it understand that it would face a major test today.
If you can overcome this obstacle, you will be like a fish leaping over a dragon gate, breaking free of shackles, gaining the recognition of heaven and earth, and then embarking on a smooth and easy journey.
If you can't get through it, you die. There are very few cases of people surviving with serious injuries, unless they are themselves demonic creatures with a lot of luck, like the Demon-Suppressing Tower.
The Heavenly Fox is clearly not included here.
"It's time, old friend. Breaking free from fate and shackles depends on this battle today." Chu Yun patted the Heavenly Fox's head, and the latter let out a soft whimper, lowering its head and gently nuzzling against Chu Yun, showing the extremely close bond between them.
Chu Yun took out Ascension Essence Pill and fed one to the Heavenly Fox.
This kind of Ascension Essence Pill is used in such situations. It is very expensive to make, and one pill can increase Demon Beast's cultivation by one year. Chu Yun fed one to the Heavenly Fox, boosting its cultivation to 999 years. Suddenly, muffled thunder rolled across the sky, rumbling loudly.
He fed it another pill, and its cultivation level remained at 999 years. However, the Heavenly Fox's Yao Qi became even stronger, attracting the attention of heaven and earth.
Click
A bolt of lightning, like a gleaming silver snake, streaked across the night sky, waking many people on Shu Family Island from their dreams.
"Is it about to begin? My son, good luck..." Shu Tianhao didn't plan to sleep that night. He stood on the roof of the city lord's mansion, looking in Chu Yun's direction, and his heart couldn't help but feel nervous.
Now, envoys from all sides are arriving one after another, and he must stay here to maintain order. Moreover, he is well aware of the Azure Sea Dragon's injuries and knows he cannot help. If he were to forcefully intervene, it would only worsen the Spirit Demon Tribulation and implicate the Azure Sea Dragon, causing his old injuries to relapse and leading to his death.
"What kind of weather is this? I finally dreamt of Fairy Ruolan, and we were flying together like a pair of lovebirds!"
"Strange, how could there be a sudden clap of thunder?"
"Could it be that the Shu Clan is plotting against us?"
The various delegations were also alarmed by the unusual weather, and many people came out of their rooms and outside in surprise.
"So early, and we're already undergoing the Spirit Demon Tribulation?" Shui Ruolan gazed at the night sky and quickly noticed that dark clouds were gathering from all directions, completely obscuring the only remaining starlight.
The sky was completely dark, giving the feeling of the end of the world and making people feel very depressed.
"We were caught completely off guard. If Chu Yun had delayed for a few more days, more people would have secretly infiltrated the delegation. Sigh..." Shui Ruolan sighed inwardly, somewhat unwilling. Chu Yun's early tribulation had disrupted her plans. "However, it's not without a chance. It all depends on what kind of Spirit Demon Tribulation Chu Yun will face this time."
" Demon Tribulation are never fixed. The Heavenly Fox is a top-grade demon Demon Beast, so this Spirit Demon Tribulation is definitely not weak. I wonder what it is? If it's a pure lightning or pure fire type Demon Tribulation, it will be much easier to handle." Staring intently at the center of the gathering and churning dark clouds, Chu Yun was also puzzled.
whoosh whoosh...
A strong wind began to rise, shaking the heavens and the earth. The trees in the forest swayed violently, as if a typhoon had struck. All sorts of Demon Beast ran for their lives, screaming in terror as they fled out of the forest.
"Wind?" Chu Yun's heart sank as he saw a bluish-gray ball of light emerging from the center of the dense black tribulation clouds, hurtling towards the Heavenly Fox.
This bluish-gray sphere of light, having just broken free of the tribulation clouds, swept up all the wind energy in the air and suddenly expanded. It was actually the size of a castle, carrying a fierce wind force as it swept towards the Heavenly Fox.
Chu Yun's eyes narrowed as he realized that the wind sphere was actually formed by countless cyan wind blades combined. These sharp wind blades could cut through anything.
Even while still in mid-air, countless trees, small Demon Beast, or large clumps of soil were drawn into the wind by the terrifying force of the wind ball.
Whatever it was, it was instantly shredded into countless pieces, and in the blink of an eye, it was pulverized by countless wind blades.
Terrible power
The strong winds were so powerful that even in Shu Family City, people could feel the gale hitting them.
"Someone is undergoing tribulation again, the Spirit Demon Tribulation. It should be Chu Yun's Heavenly Fox undergoing tribulation." Many people realized this.
"This whirlwind is enormous. It must be the Flying Blade Wind Prison Tribulation. Once you're sucked into this terrifying whirlwind, it's like falling into a cage, being torn to pieces and shredded to death!" someone exclaimed.
"Hahaha, good indeed! The Flying Blade Wind Prison Tribulation is an extremely powerful Demon Tribulation. Chu Yun is in trouble this time." A large number of people in the delegation were gloating.
"If the Heavenly Fox perishes in this calamity, it will be a major blow to Chu Yun and the Shu Clan's power, with far-reaching consequences. The Shu Clan's rise has been too rapid; it seems even Heaven can't stand it anymore and has sent down such a powerful Demon Tribulation."
Many people, with ill intentions and expectant eyes, watched Chu Yun from afar. Some even wanted to leave Shu Family City to witness the tribulation firsthand.
"The island lord has decreed that during the young island lord's tribulation, no one is allowed to leave Shu Family City. Anyone who disobeys will be treated as a mortal enemy and killed without mercy." Wu Datou, clad in full armor, guarded the city gates tightly, preventing anyone from leaving the city.
Behind him were fully armed elite soldiers with copper bells, as well as elite sea shark soldiers who had been urgently transferred. Banners fluttered in the gale, and each of them exuded murderous intent, their faces as hard as iron.
"Damn it, they were so well-prepared. I was originally thinking..."
"Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. The enemy's military strength is formidable; it's best to observe from a distance."
Some people were restless and wanted to fight and force their way out, but they were pointed out and fell silent when they saw Shu Tianhao's calm and steady figure on the top of the city lord's mansion.
Powerless and helpless, the group was blocked by the Shu Family Army and had no choice but to return dejectedly.
"The first tribulation has been blocked by Chu Yun!" someone shouted.
" The Heavenly Fox truly lives up to its reputation as a top-grade demon Demon Beast. In order to counteract this wind blast, it used at least ten different techniques in a short period of time, weakening it layer by layer. It reduced the wind blast to the size of a carriage, and finally withstood it using earth-elemental protective techniques." Someone exclaimed in amazement.
"I've survived the first tribulation. But this Flying Blade Wind Prison Tribulation will be difficult to overcome..." Shu Tianhao stared intently into the distance, his palms sweating. Chu Yun's tribulation made him even more anxious than when he himself was undergoing one.
" The Heavenly Fox is a top-grade Demon Beast, and it's at its peak during this tribulation. It's not surprising that it passed its first tribulation. The key is what happens next... Huh?" Shui Ruolan's expression suddenly changed, her beautiful eyes widened slightly, and she looked up at the sky.
The night sky, which had been as dark as a curtain, now shone with a blue light. The air was extremely humid, and the sound of rolling waves echoed from the sky, resounding throughout the entire Shu Family Island. It was as if there was a vast, blue sea suspended above everyone's heads, only obscured by calamity clouds.
Upon seeing this, Shu Tianhao's expression changed drastically.
"This is not the Flying Blade Wind Prison Tribulation!" Chu Yun's body trembled even more.
wow
Amidst the shocked shouts of the crowd, the black tribulation clouds, like a primordial beast, opened their blood-red maws. A massive torrent of water, several dozen feet in diameter, resembled a silver dragon descending from the heavens, a raging Milky Way falling to earth. With overwhelming power and a weight exceeding a thousand pounds, it crashed down.
The clear, deep blue water became the only bright spot in the dark night sky. The surging water energy roamed freely, and the magnificent waves seemed as if a corner of the ocean had been poured out.
"Heavens! This is the Six Gods Ashen Tribulation!" Among the delegation, some insightful individuals immediately exclaimed upon seeing this scene.
These words were like a boulder thrown into a lake, immediately causing an uproar among the crowd.
" The Six Gods Ashen Tribulation? This is the most powerful Demon Tribulation among the Spirit Demon Tribulation! Chu Yun is in trouble this time."
"This is going to be a good show. Of the Six Gods Ashen Tribulation, only one in ten survives the tribulation. Hahaha, this Chu Yun is too arrogant; even the heavens can't stand it anymore."
Many people were gloating. Chu Yun's growth had brought them immense pressure. They were happy to see Chu Yun's Heavenly Fox perish in this Spirit Demon Tribulation.
"Perhaps we can get rid of the Heavenly Fox without even having to use our hidden cards..." Shui Ruolan's eyes were filled with a torrent of tears, and a sense of anticipation rose in her heart.
