It took a long time to tell, but in reality, only an instant had passed.
Yet in that brief span, the Sovereigns had struck the Self-World countless times.
If the Self-World had not fully merged with the Heaven and Earth Ancient Way, forming a Heavenly Dao with Qin Hao at its core, it would have shattered long ago.
Even so, Qin Hao's face was pale. Blood seeped from the corners of his mouth, and his aura kept weakening.
That was bad enough.
More importantly, the black Tribulation Cloud inside the Self-World was plunging rapidly, drawing ever closer to Qin Hao.
Outside the Self-World.
"Qin Hao has fallen into the Inner Demon Tribulation."
"Once the black Tribulation Cloud engulfs him completely, Qin Hao will die!"
"Qin Hao, today is the day you die!"
Many were overjoyed.
Even the Void Overlord and Venerable Xiu Ling looked pleased.

Its descent meant the person undergoing the tribulation had likely fallen prey to his inner demons.
If it engulfed him entirely, his tribulation would have failed completely—and in the worst possible way.
Even his Divine Soul would perish within the Inner Demon Tribulation.
"Qin Hao's Divine Soul is powerful. Ordinarily, he shouldn't fall so completely into the Inner Demon Tribulation. Unfortunately... the attacks of so many Sovereigns at once have dealt his mind a tremendous blow."

Even a Nine-Tribulations Sovereign might die from
