In Heaven Gate City on the Eighth Layer, a new city had been built atop the ruins of the Road to Heaven leading to the Seventh Layer, serving as a bridge to the Ninth Layer.
Its name was Heavenly Dao City!
At the city gates stood an enormous stone stele.
Eight great characters were carved upon it.
Where the Heavenly Dao points, all beings are equal!
These eight characters had been written by Su Bai himself.
Every character contained a wisp of his will.
Anyone who saw these eight characters would feel an indescribable power. That power inspired awe, but it also kindled hope.
Countless people came before the stele to worship every day.
There were mine slaves who had once been oppressed, Rogue Cultivators who had only just gained their freedom, and youths willing to join the Heavenly Dao Sect...
They stood before the stele, gazing up at those eight characters, their eyes gleaming with complex emotions.
It was a light they had never seen before.
The light called hope.
Three months later.
The Eighth Layer, in a desolate stretch of void.
Two figures sat cross-legged.
Su Hu and Lu Ming.
Throughout three years of war, they had kept their cultivation suppressed and had not broken through.
Now that the Eighth Layer had been settled, the time had come!
Above their heads, two massive masses of tribulation clouds were gathering.
They were the tribulation clouds of the Immortal Lord Tribulation!
The clouds blanketed a radius of hundreds of millions of miles.
They grew denser and thicker.
At last, the first bolt of Thunder Tribulation descended.
"Boom!!!"
Golden lightning, like a toppled pillar of heaven, struck Su Hu viciously.
Su Hu did not budge in the slightest, forcibly enduring that Thunder Tribulation.
His aura grew stronger by another measure.
