The Tribulation Fruit Is Born, Heavenly Emperor!

Within the Primordial Spirit Heaven and Earth.

Long-buried memories surged back like a tide that had receded for millions of years.

As the memories of the Tribulation Fruit returned, Huntian's heart sank to the bottom.

The so-called Final Tribulation has arrived, and creation is about to begin anew.

This is the process by which a world goes from order to disorder, and then from disorder back to order.

In this process, the Heaven and Earth Tribulation Fruit is both the final product of disorder and the source of order.

Since the great calamity of the primordial era, which was almost like the creation of the world, the heavens and earth split apart, giving rise to countless realms and infinite universes. The final Final Tribulation, which was originally only seen once every era, is no longer mysterious in the eyes of the powerful, and has even become "frequent".

Many Divine Ability beings have ventured into the lower realms to attempt to push a region toward its Final Tribulation. If they succeed, they can observe the endless cycle of a world, without change, and thereby comprehend the fundamental principles of the Great Dao.

Among these, some highly Divine Ability individuals discovered that when a world reaches its end, there is an extremely small probability of a "result".

Like a great tree that, before collapsing, draws out all its nutrients, which then condense into a single fruit on its branches, symbolizing the future.

This fruit is known as the "Tribulation Fruit".

The birth of Tribulation Fruit is extremely rare; perhaps only one will be born in thousands of worlds. It requires a perfect convergence of favorable timing, location, and human factors, and is something that can only be encountered by chance and cannot be sought after.

This item is so rare that even though forcibly obtaining the Tribulation Fruit would incur enormous karmic consequences and overwhelming negative karma, it still cannot stop many Divine Ability beings from coveting it.

In ancient times, various sects strictly forbade their disciples from secretly cultivating the Tribulation Fruit.

So at this very moment.

Huntian's feathers bristled all over his body.

Because Xuandu did not seize the Tribulation Fruit today, but became the Tribulation Fruit!

Given Fellow Xuandu's status, even if it encountered a newly born Tribulation Fruit today, it wouldn't be so surprised.

Could it become Tribulation Fruit?!

Even Huntian couldn't predict how this would end.

It tried to contact Fellow Xuandu, but even the Primordial Spirit Heaven and Earth beneath its feet was tending to be assimilated by the aura of the Final Tribulation outside. Little Black drooped its wings and spread them in the clouds, its cries becoming even more ferocious.

Huntian only felt a little at ease when he looked up at the "River Diagram" hidden in the sky.

outside world.

Yu Tunzhou moved like a ghost, traversing the Void, and arrived at the palace where Xie Xiaoran had previously been stationed.

There were also many practitioners stationed in the palace.

This small world is neither too big nor too small. Over the past ten years, it has been infiltrated and occupied by various forces, with more than ten strongholds of varying sizes. However, under the Unity of Heaven, Earth, and Man state of Yu Tunzhou, all the karmic light points are as clear as lights in the dark, leaving no place for them to hide.

With a flick of his sleeve, the calamity energy that had spread throughout the world pounced like wolves and tigers, finding those burdened by karma and unleashing a storm of blood and gore.

The entire area where the palace was located was mixed with the calamity energy, and eventually returned to nothingness, becoming part of the calamity energy.

At this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from deep within the palace, emanating a terrifying aura similar to the previous one, but it eventually stopped as the calamity energy dissipated and assimilated.

As the bloody storm swept away the carnage, the calamity-inducing aura between heaven and earth grew ever stronger.

The Yu Tunzhou without stopping.

His face was calm, his gaze indifferent, revealing no emotional fluctuations. He simply turned around, his figure merging into the world like ripples on water.

Soon, he arrived above the second stronghold.

This is a new city built on the ruins of an old city. The city is brightly lit, and the faint sound of music can be heard, indicating that the garrison is still indulging in pleasure.

Yu Tunzhou didn't even glance at him; he simply waved his sleeve.

The calamity swept down, and the gray-black waves devoured everything. City walls, houses, formations, and living beings were all as fragile as paper.

"Who dares to raid my Lion Camel Cave territory?!"

A low growl came from below, and a powerful Yao Qi soared into the sky, surging and forming a cloud of demonic energy. From within this cloud emerged a gigantic lion's head, shaking its head and glaring fiercely.

Demon Race?

Thoughts raced through my mind in an instant.

Yu Tunzhou was currently fighting against the Final Tribulation and had no extra thoughts about where this demon came from. He pressed down with one hand, and the calamity energy surged, instantly dispersing the seemingly invincible demon cloud and pressing down on the city below.

You dare!

"I am the nine hundredth person from Lion Camel Cave..."

A voice of shock and anger came from the demonic clouds, filled with disbelief and fury. Clearly, no one had expected that someone would dare to kill him after he had revealed his identity.

However, the words came to an abrupt end before they could be finished.

The dark gray aura of calamity engulfed everything. Hundreds of invaders in the city were swallowed up in an instant. Regardless of their cultivation level, even those at the Outer External Scenery level were powerless to resist the calamity.

As the aura of the last karmic being below dissipated, Yu Tunzhou's figure vanished from the scene.

Next stop.

Next place.

Bearing the burden of the Final Tribulation, he showed no pity, no hesitation, and no lingering, cleansing one extraterrestrial stronghold after another.

His speed increased.

The destruction of each stronghold was exactly the same. The calamity was overwhelming, like a tide washing over the beach, annihilating all those burdened by karma and turning everything they had into fuel to propel the Final Tribulation forward.

One after another, the karmic lights extinguished between heaven and earth, just as the Central Plains the night sky had become mostly sparse without anyone noticing.

This unilateral purge was silent yet highly efficient.

Instead, the aura of Final Tribulation between heaven and earth grew ever stronger, rising steadily like the tide.

Until the calamity permeated the entire world, omnipresent and constantly assimilating everything in this world.

This is the Final Tribulation.

Antarctic Mountain.

Yu Tunzhou had been gone for a while, and a young man named Lu Di stood in front of the wooden house.

The clouds parted and the sun shone through. Standing here, one could normally take in the vast expanse of mountains and valleys, but now, all he could see was a thick, gray fog.

This fog, like a gray ocean, engulfed everything, turning Antarctic Mountain into an "isolated island in the sea."

That oppressive atmosphere had long since permeated the heavens and earth, making Lu Di's heart feel heavier than ever before.

He could feel the last vestiges of life in this world slipping away, so vividly that it suffocated him, like watching his last loved one slowly close their eyes before his very eyes.

This scene reminded him of something inexplicable that Master Lu had said to him one day.

It was dusk many years ago. Master Lu looked at the magnificent mountains and rivers in the distance and asked him, "If one day you had the power to decide whether this world could exist, what choice would you make?"

At that time, he didn't understand what this meant, but after a moment of silence, he asked, "Where are the invaders?"

Master Lu replied that if they failed to escape in time, they would all perish together.

Buried together.

Upon hearing this answer, Lu Di did not hesitate and resolutely chose to be buried together.

Although he was young that year, he could never forget the tragic scene of his hometown being burned to the ground and all his clansmen being wiped out.

His desire to learn martial arts stemmed from Master Lu's belief that only through martial arts could he gain the right to seek revenge.

His enemy was far more powerful than he had imagined, and far more formidable than he had anticipated...

many.

At this moment, looking up from the Lu Di, that was the only place not engulfed by the gray-black fog.

Above the sky, it was as if a hideous scar had been torn open, and behind the crack hung countless eyes of different shapes, some indifferent, some greedy, some mocking. The only thing they had in common was their condescending attitude, looking down on the ants above them.

Are they... these things, the gods and Buddhas that Master Lu spoke of?

Winter's Arrival City.

This is the largest stronghold of the invaders from the east, equipped with a Void array that Tongtian heavens. Normally, they rely on this array to transmit the resources they plunder back to the rear.

At this moment, spiritual light flickered on the array platform, and countless people simultaneously attempted to activate the array.

"Get out of my way! I am an elder of the Dragon Race Clan of the Vast Waves Realm, do not block my path!" An old man with two horns on his head slapped away the person blocking his way.

"Quickly! Activate the interdimensional teleportation array!" A formation master, sweating profusely, adjusted the array patterns.

"If our ancestors are watching over us, the Su Household Southern Extreme Heaven at top speed!!!"

Chaotic cries echoed throughout the city, and madness had spread. Figures rushed to escape into the sky through the formation.

The root of all this lies in the fact that the advance of the Yu Tunzhou is almost unstoppable under the sweeping force of the Final Tribulation.

In just a short while, only this one outpost remained in the entire Southern Extreme Heaven, and the creatures in the city finally received a warning from their ancestor who lived in the heavens, and attempted to evacuate.

But at this very moment...

A powerful, unstoppable torrent of gray-black water surged across the heavens and earth, crushing in from all directions, transforming into pure waves that engulfed everything in its path.

As the tide passed, the hundred-plus cultivators standing on the platform were completely absorbed into the calamity tide and assimilated by heaven and earth, without even having time to react.

A figure, enveloped in a dense aura of calamity, slowly approached from afar.

With each step taken, the entire world trembled, emitting mournful cries of unbearable burden—a sign that the world had reached its end.

The calamity energy of heaven and earth emanated from that figure, ebbs and flows, assimilating everything and constantly growing stronger.

But the moment he stepped into Winter's Arrival City, a sudden change occurred.

"Kill!"

"You beast, die!"

"I am..."

Several figures suddenly attacked from all directions where they had been lying in ambush!

Someone, filled with murderous intent, directly used the Immortals and Gods bestowed by the ancestor. A dazzling sword light tore through the Void, attempting to directly kill Yu Tunzhou, the source of the great calamity!

Some people even brought out an ancient mirror, its surface blazing like the sun, illuminating heaven and earth, specifically designed to subdue all evil spirits.

Some even tried to use their background and identity to intimidate Yu Tunzhou, causing him to hesitate for a moment and reveal his weakness.

Yu Tunzhou simply moved forward, his expression completely calm, heading towards the city.

He neither retaliated nor defended, allowing the Divine Ability and trump cards to assail him.

The sword light slashed into the aura of calamity, but it was like a mud ox entering the sea, not even causing a ripple.

The ancient mirror's light was instantly swallowed up by the intense aura of calamity.

The Final Tribulation has progressed to this point and is unstoppable; there is no need for him to take any further action.

He just needs to move forward.

The calamity engulfed the city and blocked the teleportation array. Desperate and venomous curses echoed, as someone Curse him with their entire life's cultivation, yet it caused not a ripple.

After all, if Curse were effective, they would have all died long ago.

Gradually, the Yu Tunzhou finally came to a stop.

There was no further sound in the world.

All foreign invaders in this world have been annihilated.

Ten years of blood debt, settled in one day.

The calamity surged forth, and all the karma merged into the Final Tribulation, beginning its final frenzy.

Yu Tunzhou looked up.

The dark cracks spread across the sky like a spiderweb, resembling shattered porcelain shards, while the gazes and wills from beyond the boundary grew increasingly brazen.

Giant eyes appeared behind the crack, and greedy gazes were fixed on him the entire time.

"The Tribulation Fruit... the Tribulation Fruit is about to ripen..."

"Foolish acquired creature, you've driven yourself to your death. Do you still have any room to struggle?"

An ancient, low laugh echoed across the boundary wall, carrying a chilling, oppressive force.

If the Final Tribulation were to advance further at this moment, the barriers of the entire world would shatter, and when the world were destroyed, there would be no longer any barriers to prevent these beings from reaching out.

Some people have even taken the initiative and made their own move!

A giant hand covered in fine golden scales reached in through the largest crack just before the world was about to collapse!

The enormous hand blotted out the sky and sun; wherever it passed, the Void collapsed, and heaven and earth groaned in despair, unable to bear the weight any longer.

Faced with this terrifying palm strike that was enough to completely crush this world, Yu Tunzhou slowly raised his head and looked up. His eyes no longer had whites or pupils, only a surging gray-black light of tribulation remained.

"Roll."

The words came out of his mouth in an extremely indifferent tone.

The next moment, the calamity energy of the entire world boiled over.

Boom--!

"Um?!"

An angry shout rang out.

The golden hand that had been plucked suddenly paused, caught and then swallowed by the surging aura of calamity. No matter how intense the golden light on the hand was or how much it resisted, it was all in vain.

The extraterrestrial creature swiftly withdrew, the fine golden scales covering its large hand were completely corroded away, and its arm was riddled with pits and craters. Golden blood flowed down like a waterfall, only to be swallowed up again by the calamity energy and become part of it.

"Presumptuous!"

The will from beyond the boundary was both shocked and furious. It had never expected that the Tribulation Fruit born in this small world could possess such terrifying power, but it had no choice but to withdraw its arm.

This scene brought a brief moment of silence to the heavens; beyond greed, apprehension and scrutiny emerged.

"A bunch of fools! You dare to interfere at the height of the Final Tribulation?"

The authoritative and indifferent voice seemed to descend from the heavens, yet no one dared to refute it.

At this moment, Yu Tunzhou, taking advantage of the brief moment between the collision between the golden hand and the calamity energy, saw the surging calamity light in his eyes recede, and his mind returned to clarity.

Standing firm at this moment, he forcefully broke free from the overwhelming killing intent and calamity through his own Martial Dao will.

It was at this moment that he finally heard Huntian's shout.

"Fellow Daoist! Do not let yourself be swept away by the calamity's power any longer! You are gradually becoming the final vessel of the Final Tribulation!"

"Once the Final Tribulation is truly complete, you will become a ' Heaven and Earth Tribulation Fruit ' coveted by countless living beings!"

"We must find a way to escape! The moment of the Final Tribulation's greatest power will also be your weakest. At that time, the tribulation power will reach its peak, and the world will be utterly destroyed. That will be the true end of the Final Tribulation, and then no one will be able to stop these petty villains from beyond the heavens!"

Yu Tunzhou did not respond immediately, but closed his eyes to sense the changes around him.

His Gang Qi was replenished by the calamity energy, and his Inner Scenery Heaven and Earth was connected by the calamity energy of heaven and earth, with all seven wonders tinged with the meaning of the Final Tribulation...

But the biggest change is the Dao Sprout Immortal Embryo!

The Dao Sprout Immortal Embryo, which had been continuously intercepting and transforming the calamity energy, did not grow taller; instead, a pure white flower bloomed at its tip.

Inside the flower's core, a tiny, nascent fruit is slowly taking shape.

Meanwhile, the calamity of heaven and earth continued to converge upon him.

As the world comes to an end, he, as the "Tribulation Fruit," will bear all the destructive power of the entire world.

"I see."

Yu Tunzhou spoke slowly, raising his eyes to gaze at the sky. His gaze seemed to pierce through the barriers, revealing a vaster world.

"Heaven and earth want to use me to vent their emotions, and I am also trying to control them."

He could borrow the power of the Final Tribulation and bear the will of heaven and earth, but the path he followed was always his own.

Just as Wuji and Taiji are divided into two, the key is not whether it is forward or backward, but rather --

I am in control.

As I please.

At this moment, Yu Tunzhou withdrew his gaze, no longer focusing on the distant sky, but instead looking behind him...

Antarctic Mountain.

That mountain peak, standing like an isolated island in the ocean of calamity energy, was the final piece missing from the collapse of this world at the Final Tribulation of its calamity!

He turned around and took a step back to the summit of Antarctic Mountain.

The calamity energy surged and surged endlessly, like a raging fire thrown into a boiling pot of oil.

All the calamity energy was searching for him, frantically converging on him.

Upon seeing Yu Tunzhou return, Lu Di staggered out of the house and asked:

Should we go?

Yu Tunzhou was still fighting against the calamity, but at this moment it couldn't help but take a deep look at the Lu Di.

He was currently under the influence of a calamity, and even a glance from an ordinary cultivator would make them tremble. Yet this guy seemed completely oblivious and walked straight toward him.

He nodded slightly and said, "Come to my side."

Then, he asked Huntian, "How do I activate the Ascension Grand Formation below?"

Huntian was silent for a moment, then said, "The final link... is the Final Tribulation!"

The Yu Tunzhou— it was obvious.

Master Lu may not have been able to foresee becoming Tribulation Fruit himself, but the fact that this world was entering its Final Tribulation was not unpredictable.

But if the person who comes is Lu Daolin...

"I see."

The Yu Tunzhou pulled the Lu Di behind it, and with a thought, a vast calamity aura engulfed the Antarctic Mountain.

Heaven Beyond Heaven.

This place is like a deep, empty ocean, with dark, massive outlines hidden within it, like unchanging ancient reefs.

They coldly observed the world below, awaiting the final moment of division and scramble.

In their eyes, this young man, who appeared out of nowhere, was doomed and had no chance of survival whatsoever.

Upon witnessing the Yu Tunzhou return to the vicinity of the Antarctic Mountain, some ancient beings, after seeing this primordial Ascension Platform, revealed expressions of nostalgia.

After witnessing the Antarctic Mountain being swallowed by the calamity, someone sighed softly:

What's past will eventually be buried by time.

At this moment, the calamity engulfed Antarctic Mountain, and the Final Tribulation of this world had truly come to an end!

Just as all the creatures hiding here were about to make their move, a beam of Tongtian light shot into the sky!

"Ascension Grand Formation?"

"Absurd! That's impossible!"

A mixture of shock and anger echoed in the void.

Someone tried to reach out and intercept the soaring divine light that pierced through the Southern Extreme Heaven and the Heaven Beyond Heaven, but it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot; they were easily shaken away by an overwhelming and unstoppable ancient force!

In the passage constructed by the divine light of ascension, the Yu Tunzhou carried the Lu Di "ascending" away. When passing through the Heaven Beyond Heaven, it saw the appearance of this place for the first time, as well as those breathtaking outlines.

"These guys are either just Immortals and Gods, or their awakening is only limited," Huntian sneered. "If I were in my prime, I could swallow all these petty villains whole in one gulp!"

The image of Yu Tunzhou brings the scene of Heaven Beyond Heaven into one's mind.

This was different from what he had originally expected. It resembled a starry sky, but was much more "crowded." He could see spheres resembling stars orbiting in the distance; he could also see enormous, twisted portals standing in the Void, their destinations unknown...

"Um?!"

While Yu Tunzhou was observing the Heaven Beyond Heaven, these beings were also observing Yu Tunzhou, noting his face and aura.

Among them, a being high above the nine heavens caught a glimpse of the Lu Di in Yu Tunzhou's hands, and as if seeing some incredible person, exclaimed:

"The Heavenly Emperor?!"

This sound also reached Yu Tunzhou's ears.

He was deeply shocked, and even disregarding the fruit slowly forming at the top of the Dao Sprout Immortal Embryo, he abruptly looked down at the Lu Di in his hand.

"You're still alive?!"

A thunderous shout resounded through the Heaven Beyond Heaven.

High above, in that forbidden zone that even great Divine Ability beings are unwilling to easily set foot in, a blurry figure is fluctuating violently.

Its massive size surpassed all the ancient silhouettes within the Yu Tunzhou's field of vision.

The mere act of rising from a distance caused the entire Heaven Beyond Heaven to tremble violently, and the surrounding floating stars and ancient portals shook violently, as if they were about to fall from the Void.

"Mortal, hand him over!"

The command shook Yu Tunzhou's Primordial Spirit, containing an imperial pressure that brooked no disobedience.

The massive figures around them all froze, hastily concealing their auras and daring not to reveal the slightest movement.

Even they felt the fear of facing life and death, and had no choice but to retreat at this moment!

A hand large enough to blot out the Milky Way descended from the heavens, its five fingers spread wide, each finger entwined with endless patterns of laws and principles, and within its palm, the phantom of the boundless universe was born and circulated.

This is far superior to the previous golden-scaled palm strike!

This palm strike wasn't meant to stop the Yu Tunzhou, but to completely sever and crush the divine light of ascension!

Its power was so great that even Yu Tunzhou, who was surrounded by the divine light of ascension, couldn't help but change color.

At this crucial moment...

The divine light of ascension suddenly accelerated, as if it had come to life. It abruptly turned and darted out at an incredible angle, managing to escape through the gaps between the giant hand's fingers and disappear into the unknown depths of the Void.

As the divine light of ascension carried Yu Tunzhou away, he only heard a distant roar that still shook his Primordial Spirit.

"There's actually a living Emperor-level being in the Heavenly Court!" Huntian's voice rang out, tinged with surprise and a hint of schadenfreude. "Unfortunately, it's too late. This guy is far from being at his peak and can't stop the guiding light of this Ascension Platform."

Yu Tunzhou's gaze sharpened. "Emperor level? That's one of the Five Emperors of the Heavenly Court?"

"That's right, corresponding to our clan's Great Sage, they are among the top-tier powerful Divine Ability under the leaders of various sects, but we don't know exactly who it is."

As soon as Huntian finished speaking, he seemed to suddenly remember something, his expression changed abruptly, and he said urgently,

"Oh no! This Primordial Ascension Platform is connected to the Primeval Heavenly Court!"
