Liang Xiangkun's words made Liang Zhaohuang's expression shift slightly. He had never expected that, while they had cautiously guarded against the Four-Headed Demon Dragon exploiting the demonic tribulation to cause trouble, the Four-Headed Demon Dragon had not acted at all. Instead, the demonic tribulation itself had changed again, turning from an external tribulation into an internal one!
External tribulations could still be met with all manner of assisting methods, but internal tribulations could mostly only be faced by oneself. They were undoubtedly far more perilous.
Moreover, when the demonic tribulation was external, if the one crossing the tribulation could not withstand it, they would certainly die on the spot. But now that the demonic tribulation had turned inward, what would happen if the one crossing the tribulation could not resist it?
Would they likewise perish on the spot, or would they be possessed by the demonic tribulation? Or perhaps directly tainted by it, transformed into a Demonic Beast—or even a demonic cultivator?
Liang Zhaohuang did not know. But he knew that this undoubtedly meant the demonic path's erosion of this world's origin had grown heavier and deeper.
After all, external tribulations were easily formed, while internal tribulations were difficult to spawn!
To directly descend a demonic tribulation into a cultivator's Sea of Consciousness as they crossed tribulation and charged toward the Nascent Soul realm, forcing it to contend with their soul and consciousness—the difficulty and danger involved were plain to imagine.
If the cultivator could not withstand it and died outright, that would be one thing. But if they were possessed by the demonic tribulation, or even merely corrupted by it and turned into a Demonic Beast, the consequences were easy to imagine!
