One Move Shatters the World-Destroying Heavenly Tribulation, the Fate and Karma Physique Swears to Follow

Atop Nine Heavens Peak, wind and clouds changed color, thunder rumbled, and silver serpents danced through the sky.

The Yin-Yang Heavenly Tribulation, Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation, Divine Palace Heavenly Tribulation, Primordial Heavenly Tribulation, Karma Heavenly Tribulation, and other heavenly punishments unseen for ages filled the sky, blotting out heaven and earth.

The many-colored tribulations of heavenly punishment transformed into an ocean of lightning that loomed over Nine Heavens Peak, so densely packed that it darkened the sky.

"Who on earth is undergoing tribulation? What sins did they commit in their last life?"

"It looks like someone is breaking through to the Creation Realm. Has one of the holy sons touched a forbidden domain?"

"But this heavenly tribulation is far too terrifying. It doesn't leave anyone the slightest chance of survival!"

"That looks like the direction of Nine Heavens Peak, where Holy Son Cangtian lives..."

Seeing the tribulations of heavenly punishment gathering into a sea of lightning overhead, the many disciples of the Li Lineage cried out in shock, their faces full of astonishment.

"A great tribulation of the Heavenly Dao triggered by the Fate and Karma Physique? Does this boy intend to defy the heavens and change his fate?"

In a small world within the ancestral mausoleum.

The Ninth Ancestor, his body shrouded in brilliant immortal light, slowly opened his eyes.

His gaze seemed to pass through layer upon layer of space, taking in the sight atop Nine Heavens Peak.

Severing the curse on the Fate and Karma Physique? This little fellow really has some nerve. A newborn calf truly doesn't fear death!

Inside the pavilion on Nine Heavens Peak.

Li Tianji floated in midair, his white robes whiter than snow and his black hair falling to his waist. Karma Qi curled around him, and his entire bearing was as refined and elegant as a scholar's.

Hum!

A moment later, Li Tianji's tightly shut eyes flew open. Yin and Yang Qi flowed deep within his pupils, blending with the Dao in a particularly mysterious sight.

"The Calamity Curse... has really been lifted!"

Li Tianji felt as though he had been reborn. Every measure of his body had returned to its peak.

But immediately afterward, a distant killing intent of the Lightning Dao locked onto Li Tianji, making his scalp tingle and his heart pound with dread.

It was a bucket of cold water dumped over his head in the midst of his excitement.

"Tianji thanks the divine son for the grace of giving me a new life. If I survive this great tribulation of heaven and earth today, I swear to follow at the divine son's side until death!"

Li Tianji took a deep breath and turned to step out of the pavilion, preparing to face the world-destroying heavenly tribulation of the Fate and Karma Physique.

Though the Calamity Curse had been dealt with, this act had undoubtedly enraged the Heavenly Dao, which had sent down a world-destroying heavenly tribulation to wipe him out completely.

Life and death hung on a single instant!

"There's no need to go to all that trouble."

Li Xunyuan strolled out of the pavilion, then casually snapped a branch off a nearby tree.

Holding the short branch, he lightly traced a line through the air toward the ocean of lightning tribulation in the sky and coldly spat out a single word.

"Scram!"

The moment that sharp word fell.

Whether the heavenly punishment or the ocean of lightning tribulation.

All of it split down the middle in an instant, as though it had encountered something unimaginably terrifying, then vanished without a trace.

The sky, which had been thick with thunderclouds, turned blue as a polished mirror in an instant.

Only Li Cangtian and Li Tianji remained, rooted to the spot with terrified, dazed expressions, somewhat at a loss.

That had been a great tribulation of heavenly punishment!

And there had been more than one kind-dozens of them!

Even if a young Great Emperor were alive, he could not have guaranteed a hundred percent chance of surviving that world-destroying tribulation.

Yet such world-destroying heavenly punishment, capable of striking down anything, had been driven away by a single shout from the divine son?

The two of them felt as though they were dreaming!

It was too unreal!

"Holy shit... this young man..."

In the small world within the ancestral mausoleum, the Ninth Ancestor was so startled by Li Xunyuan's display that his snow-white beard trembled, and a stream of colorful language spilled from his mouth.

"No, no, I have to have a talk with this little fellow!"

"Done!"

Li Xunyuan tossed away the branch and dusted off his hands.

To him, it seemed this had been no more than a trivial matter.

It couldn't be helped.

Being too invincible was a kind of loneliness too.

The divine ability One Sword Makes Immortals Kneel was an invincible skill, so long as it did not encounter a humanoid creature!

Unless they transformed into a humanoid being, it didn't matter who came. Even if an ancient Great Emperor appeared in person, he would split apart on the spot!

"I, Li Tianji, am willing to follow at the divine son's side, to plunge into boiling water or walk through fire without hesitation!"

Li Tianji took a deep breath, gave his robes a gentle shake, and dropped to one knee before Li Xunyuan, making a Great Dao oath.

Every generation of the Fate and Karma Physique would serve only one person until death, with loyalty to the fullest.

"Cangtian bows in thanks to the divine son. Thank you for saving my younger brother!"

Li Cangtian likewise bowed. There was no need for too many words; he would prove through his actions that he would be the strongest right-hand man at the divine son's disposal!

"No need for formalities!"

Li Xunyuan waved his hand, and a gentle force helped Li Tianji to his feet.

Just then, the system's voice sounded in his mind again.

[Ding! The sign-in locations have refreshed!]

[Host, please proceed to the Three Lives Emperor Tomb and Heaven-Subduing Ancient City to sign in.]

"The Three Lives Emperor Tomb and Heaven-Subduing Ancient City. Two major sign-in locations refreshed at once?"

Li Xunyuan's gaze flickered, and he looked thoughtful.

The Three Lives Emperor Tomb had probably appeared because of the Three Lives Emperor Key.

As for Heaven-Subduing Ancient City, Li Xunyuan had yet to find the reason.

[Ding! An auction will be held in Heaven-Subduing Ancient City in three days, where a Three Lives Emperor Key will be put up for sale. Host, you may decide for yourself whether to go and obtain it!]

The system was quite perceptive and automatically provided a hint.

"Good grandson, the Ninth Ancestor wants you to come to the Ancestral Mausoleum Ancient Realm. He has something to discuss with you."

As Li Xunyuan pondered, his grandfather Li Qianqiu's voice suddenly sounded in his mind through a voice transmission.

"I understand!"

Li Xunyuan nodded and replied by voice transmission. As it happened, he had also wanted to ask the Ninth Ancestor where Heaven-Subduing Ancient City was!

Better to arrive at the right moment than to arrive early.

"There's a little Creation Source in here. It can stabilize the foundation of your recent breakthrough. In three days, come to the ancient realm with your older brother and find me."

Li Xunyuan tossed Li Tianji a jade bottle containing a little Creation Source.

"Thank you, divine son!" After catching the jade bottle, Li Tianji bowed respectfully once more.

"Cultivate diligently. See you in three days."

Li Xunyuan left him with those words, then took a single step and vanished in the blink of an eye.

When the Law of Longevity had washed over the Calamity Curse, Li Tianji had gained a blessing from misfortune and broken through to the Creation Realm in one sustained effort.

This Creation Source was just what he needed to stabilize his foundation.

As for why Li Tianji had only opened nine Life Palaces, there was no other reason.

It was simply because he was a civil official, not a military general.

Unlike Li Cangtian's Heavenly Hegemon Body, his Fate and Karma Physique was geared toward support and did not require intense combat.

Besides, a strategist generally didn't need to fight bloody battles on the front lines!
