At Last, a Hundred Thousand Years!

Di Tian looked at Wukong, his eyes full of approval.

"You monkey, you've certainly got some ruthlessness in you."

"Go on. Prepare to break through the hundred-thousand-year threshold."

Wukong chuckled and did not stand on ceremony.

He walked beneath Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, opened his mouth, and took a huge gulp of Sky Dream Origin.

An enormous amount of pure energy instantly flooded into his body.

Wukong circulated his Soul Power and temporarily sealed it within his dantian.

The other Ferocious Beasts stopped cultivating when they saw this.

They all turned to look at Wukong.

The contempt and hostility in their eyes had long since vanished.

In their place were recognition and anticipation.

They had already learned of Wukong's plan from Di Tian.

This monkey not only intended to undergo Transformation into a human, but to face the Heavenly Tribulation before doing so.

This path was ten thousand times harder than a Soul Beast becoming a god. One careless mistake would lead to eternal damnation.

Yet Wukong dared to walk it, and he did so without hesitation.

That courage alone was enough to earn the respect of every Ferocious Beast present.

Just then, an incredibly faint ripple came from the deepest part of the lake.

The Silver Dragon King, who had been sleeping and recuperating all this time, also sent out a thread of divine consciousness.

She, too, wanted to see whether this monkey chosen by the Twin Dragon Kings could truly create a miracle.

After absorbing the energy, Wukong turned to face Di Tian and the other Ferocious Beasts and solemnly bowed.

"Everyone, Old Sun is off to face the tribulation."

"Once Old Sun succeeds, I'll come back and drink with you all!"

Golden Lion said confidently, "Don't worry, Monkey Bro. With me here, you'll definitely get through the tribulation safely!"

Golden Lion was not exaggerating. As the Imperial Auspicious Beast, her very existence brought good fortune.

Within the area where she was active, the growth speed of all Soul Beasts would double. Even the success rate of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts breaking through their bottlenecks would increase twofold.

Unfortunately, her cultivation was still too low. If it were higher, she could actively manipulate Wukong's fortune and raise his chances of surviving the tribulation several times over.

"Hahaha, then I'll take your lucky words!"

Wukong rubbed Golden Lion's dog-like head and took another huge breath of good luck.

Di Tian nodded slightly.

"Go. Be careful in all things."

"Heavenly Tribulation is dangerous. Do not be careless."

Wukong grinned and swam toward the lake surface.

The commotion of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Heavenly Tribulation was far too great. It absolutely could not be carried out within the barrier at the bottom of the lake.

It would not destroy this pocket space, but it would still increase the risk of exposure.

Before long, Wukong burst out of the water.

On the open ground by the lake, Xiao Wu, Da Ming, Er Ming, and Medusa had already been waiting for quite some time.

They all knew Wukong would break through to a hundred thousand years today, so they had come specifically to stand guard for him.

Although Lake of Life was a forbidden zone within the Star Dou Great Forest, and ordinary Soul Beasts dared not approach it.

Facing tribulation was a matter of life and death. Better safe than sorry.

Wukong stepped forward and cupped his hands in thanks.

"Many thanks to all you older brothers and little sister for coming to guard Old Sun."

Xiao Wu bounced over, her eyes full of envy.

"Little Monkey, aren't you progressing way too fast?!"

"When you first came, your cultivation was far below mine."

"But have you really decided to face the tribulation before undergoing Transformation?"

"That's way too dangerous. If it were me, I'd definitely transform directly."

Wukong laughed loudly and reached out to rub Xiao Wu's rabbit ears.

"Heavenly Tribulation is a calamity, but it is also an opportunity."

"But it'll hurt a lot!"

"It's fine. Old Sun has Copper Head Iron Bones. I'm not afraid of pain!"

"What a masochist."

Xiao Wu curled her lips and muttered.

Da Ming leaned his head over and said in a deep voice.

"Brother Wukong, Heavenly Tribulation must not be underestimated."

"When I faced my tribulation back then, I nearly failed to endure it."

"And the Thunder Tribulation will not only attack your body, but also your mind. You must keep your consciousness clear."

"Remember not to become impatient. You must keep your Soul Power steady."

Er Ming also chimed in from the side, "That's right, that's right. Back then, I got struck so badly I thought I saw my great-grandmother coming to collect me."

Wukong listened seriously and nodded repeatedly.

"Thank you both for sharing your experience. Old Sun will remember it."

Medusa slithered over.

She affectionately rubbed her head against Wukong's cheek, her tongue flicking out.

Wukong patted her head and reassured her with a smile.

"Don't worry, Cai Lin. Old Sun's life is tough."

Like Fourth Sister Spider, Wukong had also given Medusa a human name.

He had even used the human name Flame Emperor from next door had given Medusa.

It was also a way to borrow a little of Flame Emperor's luck...

Cai Lin nodded repeatedly, her eyes full of expectation.

After exchanging a few words, Wukong walked into the clearing.

He sat cross-legged, focused his mind, and began refining the Sky Dream Origin.

The surroundings instantly fell silent.

Xiao Wu and the others spread out around him, vigilantly watching for any movement.

Time passed second by second.

Wukong's aura began to rise steadily.

As the Sky Dream Origin was continuously refined, the Soul Power within Wukong's body completely boiled over.

Violent energy rampaged through his meridians.

The cultivation barrier that had already reached its limit began to crack beneath the impact.

Wukong abruptly opened his eyes, and two beams of light shot from his golden pupils.

"Break for Old Sun!"

Boom!

That invisible barrier instantly shattered.

A hundred thousand years!

An incomparably powerful aura erupted from Wukong's body.

That aura transformed into a visible pillar of energy that shot straight into the sky.

The formerly clear sky suddenly changed color at that moment.

Whoosh—

Wild winds howled as dark clouds gathered, blotting out the sky and sun!

The sky above Lake of Life instantly darkened.

Purple lightning continuously churned and flashed through the clouds.

Rumble!

Rumble! Rumble!

Deafening thunder echoed throughout heaven and earth.

A destructive heavenly pressure directly shrouded the entire core region.

That pressure was incredibly terrifying, making even the surrounding air feel heavy.

The powerful Soul Beasts nearby also sensed the violent disturbance.

They looked toward Lake of Life in terror, not daring to make the slightest move.

The Death Spider Emperor had been resting in her territory.

Sensing that familiar pressure, she abruptly opened her eyes.

"This commotion... is that damned monkey facing tribulation?"

Fourth Sister muttered to herself, then immediately grumbled again.

"Damned monkey, you'd better not die in the Thunder Tribulation."

"If you die, who the hell am I supposed to take revenge on later?"

By Lake of Life.

Wukong stood up and threw back his head with a laugh.

"Hahaha! Bring it on!"

"Let Old Sun have a taste of the Heavenly Tribulation!"

He gripped his long staff and stared directly at the thunderclouds, his fighting spirit boiling.

Rumble!

A heaven-shaking boom rang out.

A thick bolt of purple lightning furiously split down from the clouds, charging straight at Wukong's face.

The lightning was incredibly fast, carrying the momentum to destroy everything.

"Break for Old Sun!"

Wukong roared, his legs suddenly exerting force.

His entire body shot into the air as he swung his long staff and smashed it viciously toward the lightning.

Red and blue light blazed from the staff.

The power of ultimate ice and fire instantly erupted.

Bang!

The long staff collided violently with the lightning.

Boom—

Violent energy instantly exploded.

It transformed into visible rings of shockwaves that spread in every direction.

That menacing bolt of lightning was actually smashed apart by Wukong's single strike.

The shattered lightning turned into countless tiny arcs that fused into Wukong's body.

Wukong landed back on the ground, shook his numbed arm, and glanced at the sky in surprise.

That lightning had caused some damage, but it was also tempering his body.

But—

"Is that all?"

"That's not even enough to scratch Old Sun's itch!"

As if it had understood Wukong's provocation, the thunderclouds churned violently.

The thunder grew increasingly deafening, while the purple radiance within the clouds became even more blinding.
