Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“The rising generation is to be reckoned with.”

Emperor Xi looked at Ye Futian. He then smiled and said, “Under the rule of the Great Emperor, more and more prominent figures will surely appear in the Divine Prefecture.”

As long as the Age of Turmoil did not return, the number of cultivators would increase. Many exceptional figures would certainly appear with each passing generation.

Compared to back in the day, the current environment of cultivation was so much better.

“What Emperor Xi says is true. After the Great Emperor unified the world, he ordered the powerful cultivators to spread their teachings in the Divine Prefecture, causing martial arts to prosper. Now, we have many extraordinary figures in the Donghua Domain, and Emperor Xi is also facing a tribulation. It is indeed worth rejoicing.”

A voice called out from afar. The crowd saw a group of figures walking over. Their leader was draped in a white fur coat. He appeared immaculate. His smiling gaze was full of vigor. Behind him, there were many cultivators. Each of them was a prominent figure.

“The chief has arrived,” Emperor Xi said with a smile.

“We were wondering whether you would grace us with your presence. We never imagined that we would see you so soon,” Ling Xiao Palace Palace Lord stated with a smile. Many people extended their greetings. The Donghua Domain Domain Chief’s Manor consisted of the people sent to the Donghua Domain by the Great Emperor. Nominally, the Chief was the ruler of the Donghua Domain and maintained the order within the domain.

However, in the cultivation world, Domain Chief’s Manor rarely intervened in matters of the outside world. They were even less likely to interfere with the affairs of the top forces. They merely ensured no major incidents occurred. The world was too big; they could not manage all of it even if they wanted to. The world of cultivation had its own rules.

“Emperor Xi is facing a divine tribulation. How could I possibly miss it?” the Chief said with a smile. “I also get to meet all of you here. Almost all of the top figures in the Donghua Domain have come. It is a rare occasion.”

The arrival of the Domain Chief drew away attention away from Ye Futian. He was also sizing up the Domain Chief and the cultivators around him. After the Domain Chief arrived, many top figures greeted him. The relationship between the giant figures of the Donghua Domain was somewhat delicate.

Although Donghuang the Great ruled the Divine Prefecture, he did not directly control the various forces. Back then in the Original Realm, from the relationship between Princess Donghuang and the other top forces, Ye Futian caught some hint of this.

However, how powerful was the Domain Chief of the Donghua Domain? Was he the most powerful person in the Domain?

The Millet Emperor had previously planned to let Ye Futian enter the Domain Chief’s manor to cultivate. It would be much safer that way. Ye Futian was also considering whether to head to the Domain Chief’s manor.

However, at a glance, he could not tell what sort of person the Domain Chief was.

At that moment, Chief raised his head and looked up into the sky. The pressure of the Great Path grew stronger and stronger. The weather changed, and divine signs appeared. The sky above was enveloped in a suppressive aura. Dark clouds surged over from tens of thousands of miles around.

“It seems that I came at the right moment. Has the Hour of Reckoning arrived?” Chief asked as he looked at Emperor Xi.

“Hmm, soon,” Emperor Xi replied as he nodded. “Before the tribulation arrived, I only had a faint premonition of its arrival. Now, it has come.”

As he said this, he glanced around at the crowd and said, “Everyone, please vacate your seats and set up your defenses. Although this tribulation is aimed at me, I am worried that some of you might accidentally be hurt. I hope all of you will keep your guard up.”

“Many thanks for Emperor Xi’s reminder,” the crowd replied as they nodded their heads. Next, in their own groups, the various cultivators gradually left their seats. The top figures walked ahead of the rest of them. The aura of the Great Path surged from their bodies. They were prepared at every moment.

“It is coming. All of you should stand back,” Emperor Xi instructed the crowd behind him. The crowd immediately retreated. Emperor Xi raised his head and looked up at the sky. A terrifying aura coalesced. In the sky above, Clouds of Catastrophe surged rapidly, becoming more and more frightening.

“It is still gaining momentum,” Ye Futian commented as he raised his head and looked at the sky. This divine tribulation of the Great Path seemed to have a life of its own. This aura made Ye Futian feel as though he was suffocating. It was as though the sky was about to collapse. A Divine Catastrophe could not be compared to this power.

The Millet Emperor stood before the crowd and said, “We’d better retreat further back and give Emperor Xi some space.”

As he said this, the group of figures continued retreating backward. They were already beyond Turtle Peak. They stood in mid-air as they looked over where Emperor Xi was at. A powerful aura came from the Millet Emperor’s body. It appeared to be an absolute domain of the Great Path that shielded the crowd.

On Turtle Deity Island, almost all the cultivators were now looking up at the sky. They saw the terrifying Clouds of Catastrophe circulating above and gathering at Turtle Peak. The entire world seemed to turn dim. This scene was absolutely astonishing.

This... Many people revealed astonished expressions when they felt this aura. Someone said in a low voice, “Will Emperor Xi be in danger?”

The aura in the sky made them tremble. It was too frightening. If this power descended upon them, the consequences would be unthinkable.

“Emperor Xi’s cultivation is high. Few people in the Donghua Domain can compare to him. He will be fine,” someone else replied. The person seemed very confident, but the look in his eyes was serious. Clearly, he was still somewhat worried.

Emperor Xi was the legendary figure of Turtle Deity Island. No one wanted anything to happen to him. If Emperor Xi successfully faced this tribulation, he would then undergo another metamorphosis. There was a chance that he would become the strongest figure in the Donghua Domain.

Even the cultivators of Eastern Deity Island wanted to witness such a miracle.

Beyond Turtle Deity Island, in the Divine Ocean, the people who were not on the island were also looking up at the sky. This terrifying scene could be seen far and wide. At this moment, the Divine Ocean Continent had been stirred up.

The cultivators of this continent could see the strange changes in the sky. Of course, the aura they felt was weaker the further away they were from Turtle Deity Island. It was not as terrifying as it was on the island. All the Clouds of Catastrophe were surging towards it.

On Turtle Deity Island, Thunder Punishing Skylord raised his head and looked into the sky. Dark purple light of catastrophe was gradually accumulating in the heavens above, shining down upon them. It contained destructive power that was frightening beyond comparison. Cracks of the Great Path seemed to appear in the space. The cracks were frighteningly deep.

Even Thunder Punishing Skylord felt an intense sense of caution well up in him.

This was a divine tribulation. The Great Path would not tolerate Emperor Xi. The laws of this world did not allow for Emperor Xi to exist.

This was also Thunder Punishing Skylord’s first time experiencing such power. As he watched the frightening destructive power that was constantly gathering, he gazed ahead and saw Emperor Xi standing alone in mid-air. His long robes fluttered around even though there was no wind. A divine aura of the Great Path emanated from his surroundings.

Right now, Emperor Xi was battling the very heavens itself.

The terrifying light of destruction descended from above without a sound or presence. It blinded the eyes of those around. Many people could not resist closing their eyes. The blinding light tore apart the space. It directly descended and struck Emperor Xi.

There was no terrifying rumble that people expected, only destructive power. Endless destructive light circled Emperor Xi’s figure, seemingly tearing apart and destroying his Body of Way.

At that moment, Emperor Xi’s long hair danced around. There seemed to be destructive silver snakes wrapping around his figure. Terrifying cracks of the Great Path appeared in the space around him non-stop.

Down below, Turtle Peak was instantly turned to dust without any warning. It disappeared just like that, as though it had never existed.

The surrounding cultivators felt their hearts tremble. The various top figures blocked off the excess energy.

The divine tribulation was like heavenly punishment.

In the sky, an even more terrifying aura gathered, growing more and more horrifying.

Many people were looking up into the sky. There seemed to be the Swords of Catastrophe. They pierced down from the sky above and penetrated this part of the sky. There was nowhere to hide at all as they chased and stabbed at Emperor Xi’s figure.

Rumble. Emperor Xi’s long hair danced wildly. His clothes were torn, and his figure appeared to be penetrated by the light of catastrophe. He actually threw up a mouthful of fresh red blood. However, he still had a resolved look in his eyes as he looked up. There was an unprecedented determination in his eyes.

After cultivating for a thousand years, he finally waited for this moment. How could he allow the tribulation to destroy him? Since he had chosen to walk this path, he was destined to transcend this world and rise above the world order.

Buzz! Emperor Xi’s figure shot up into the sky. As the crowd watched with astonished gazes, he charged up directly into the sky and entered into the storm of destruction. In an instant, he was swallowed up by the raging vortex.
