But even so.
Those gazes still had not given up.
What if?
What if the lightning tribulation was fierce?
"Normally, a human tribulation should appear. That is what the records say."
"But what the old masters wrote may not necessarily be accurate."
"This flood dragon has already reached Jinyang Prefecture."
"The lightning tribulation is coming."
A voice spoke gravely as it looked toward the sky.
The others followed the voice with their gazes.
From the north and south, from the east and west.
Gazes upon gazes had all fallen upon this eastern leap through the Dragon Gate.
Even some distant gazes carried threads of divine radiance that ordinary people could not perceive directly.
Celestials.
Celestials had arrived.
Though their auras were scattered in every direction, they had each formed their own style in comprehending the grand momentum of heaven and earth.
That was also where their martial domains lay.
"The lightning tribulation is coming."
Inside a small building somewhere, someone gazed at that expanse of ink-black clouds, their tone unreadable.
"Master, will this flood dragon succeed in leaping through the Dragon Gate?"
"Even I cannot see through it."
The old man spoke in a grave voice.
Someone should have gone forth for the human tribulation.
Yet they did not know where the person fated to become this human tribulation would emerge.
But the lightning tribulation before their eyes had already appeared.
That faintly visible golden Dragon Gate was also slowly emerging amid the vault of the sky.
If it passed through this lightning tribulation, this black flood dragon would likely shed its flood-dragon body at once.
It would become a genuine true dragon.
It would also step into the ranks of the foremost great demons.
If that happened, the pressure on the Heavenly Commerce Dynasty would likely grow even greater.
