Chapter 162: Tribulation Transcendence

"Trouble..." Looking at the few people, Yuan Xia's cheeks slightly changed color. Her jade hand clenched slightly, and a gleam of cold light flashed in her eyes.

A trace of pallor suddenly surged onto Yuan Xia's cheeks. She executed some secret technique, and a crystal-clear jade-like palm, a hundred zhang in size, eerily appeared before them.

"Not good!" The three exclaimed in unison, but it was too late. Yuan Xia's palm struck down, and the three War King powerhouses had their heads crushed directly.

"Hiss..." At such a ruthless method, some people felt a chill in their scalps, and a trace of coldness involuntarily rose in their hearts.

"What a formidable secret technique..." Qing Tao rubbed his nose, a hint of surprise in his eyes. This void secret technique not only required extremely skilled mastery of space but also demanded a method that was exceptionally powerful.

"Bastard! Don't think I dare not kill you!" Gu Yun suddenly turned his head, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Yuan Xia as he roared.

"If Yang Tian dies, your clan will be buried with him!" Yuan Xia said with a faint smile, her gaze falling on the others: "And you, don't doubt my words. A clan without even a Nirvana Realm cultivator has no right to be arrogant!"

The forceful words were thrown out, and the expressions of everyone present changed drastically.

"Haha..." Hearing this, Gu Yun laughed loudly, rolling waves of monstrous aura surging out. His gaze directly fixed on Li Qingxue: "Niece Qingxue, capture Yang Tian for me. I want him to suffer a thousand torments before he dies!"

The shrill voice exploded. Li Qingxue glanced at Yuan Xia, a cold smile in her eyes, then nodded and walked directly toward Yang Tian.

Yuan Xia's expression changed slightly. Just as she was about to execute her secret technique again, her body was instantly blocked.

"No... Third Grandfather, no..." Seeing this, Gu Mo hurriedly roared.

"Beast, shut up! The Gu clan has no useless waste like you." Glancing at Gu Mo, Gu Yun's face twisted as he roared.

"Don't worry, since this old bastard won't save you, from now on you can call me grandpa, and I'll guarantee your life." Yang Tian sneered, directly stowing Gu Mo into the Golden Crow Divine Furnace.

Hearing Yang Tian's words, many people couldn't help twitching their mouths. It was a blatant slap in the face, and Gu Yun's face was turning green.

This time, Li Qingxue did not hesitate. The snow-white lotus soared into the sky, emitting a formidable aura, directly covering the heavens and descending toward Yang Tian's body.

"Seeking death!" Yuan Xia's face changed again. With a palm strike, she repelled the figure beside her, then aimed her jade palm toward Li Qingxue and struck out across the void.

"Damn it." Li Qingxue's expression changed drastically. She quickly withdrew the snow-white lotus, covering it over her head, and the lotus petals wrapped around her body.

"Get lost, old man!" Seeing this, Gu Yun sneered and struck down with a palm, severing Yuan Xia's attack across the void.

"I warn you one last time: if Yang Tian loses even a single hair, you will all be buried with him!" Yuan Xia's cheeks turned cold and fierce as she directly shouted.

The repeated threat made some powerhouses feel uneasy, secretly weighing whether to join Gu Yun in this madness.

"Haha... I've cultivated for three hundred years, and threats are what I fear least!" Gu Yun's face twisted as he directly attacked Yuan Xia.

"Then let's wait and see. I hope you won't regret it." Yuan Xia's cheeks turned completely cold. Her body was like a jade tree; she shattered the sky with a step and struck down with her palm.

The void was engaged in battle. Li Qingxue emerged from the lotus and saw the empty scene. She instantly turned around, and seeing Yang Tian charging toward Li Xuan, a trace of mockery flashed in her eyes.

The river of blood and qi shook. The entire river of blood and qi merged together, forming a resplendent great sun that radiated terrifying energy fluctuations, directly crushing the void.

Extremely狂暴 energy rushed toward him. Li Xuan's expression changed drastically. The purple-gold sword in his hand flew out, slashing toward Yang Tian.

"Get the hell out of here!" Yang Tian roared directly. He threw a punch, as if driving a great mountain. The resplendent great sun rotated through the void, radiating a terrifying might.

Rumble! The void collapsed. The great sun was狂暴 and fierce, directly sending the purple-gold sword flying and surging toward Li Xuan.

"Not good!" Li Xuan's expression instantly turned ugly. A purple-gold treasure robe appeared on his body. As he infused it with energy, the defensive shield of the purple-gold treasure robe suddenly expanded.

Yang Tian did not hesitate at all. The great sun directly crashed into Li Xuan's body, and his entire form was enveloped in red light.

"Explode!" Yang Tian roared. The great sun directly burst apart, like scattering flowers, spreading formidable waves of fire.

At the epicenter of the explosion, the purple-gold energy shield was directly pierced, and a miserable howl immediately exploded.

Seeing this, Li Qingxue's expression changed slightly. She hadn't expected Yang Tian to still launch such an attack. She quickly flew toward the explosion site.

"Break!" The astonishing roar rumbled endlessly across the sky. Inside Yang Tian's body, the one hundred and eight acupoints operated at full power, and strands of red light shot out.

Rumble! The entire sea of qi shook. Yang Tian took a Profound Yuan Pill, then directly sat down cross-legged, causing the surrounding people to be stunned.

"What is Yang Tian doing? Waiting to die?"

"I feel something is off. He seemed to have taken a Profound Yuan Pill just now. Could he be trying to break through in cultivation?"

The surrounding people discussed, unable to guess what Yang Tian intended. If he was breaking through in cultivation, this was undoubtedly suicidal behavior.

Just as Yang Tian sat down, the surrounding world essence instantly churned, and the War Heaven Art operated at full power, directly stirring up a storm of essence in the void. Yang Tian was like a black hole, devouring wildly.

In the span of a few breaths, the world essence within ten thousand zhang converged. The expressions of many nearby changed. Yang Tian was breaking through his cultivation. What was he doing? Breaking through in a situation where death could come at any moment.

Just as they were stunned, black clouds gathered in the void, and the entire world fell silent. A suffocating atmosphere swept out. In that instant, everyone fled frantically.

"Too brutal. It seems the rumors are true. Yang Tian has triggered a heavenly tribulation at his current realm."

The figures fighting in the void immediately stopped and flashed far away. For characters like them, the heavenly tribulation they triggered was extremely terrifying, requiring many preparations.

"Heavenly tribulation..." Li Xuan's heart trembled. He staggered to his feet and rushed far away recklessly.

"You stay right here!" Yang Tian sneered coldly, completely ignoring the surging power of the tribulation, and directly grabbed Li Xuan's body.

"What are you doing?" A hint of panic appeared in Li Xuan's eyes. He immediately tried to persuade: "Are you crazy? If I stay here, the tribulation will become even stronger, and you'll be struck to death directly."

"It doesn't matter. We'll cross the tribulation together. I want to see if the heavenly tribulation can strike you dead." Hearing this, Yang Tian laughed coldly.

In the distance, many people showed horror in their eyes. Li Xuan's cultivation was two realms higher than Yang Tian's. The tribulation he triggered would be extremely terrifying and would directly reduce Yang Tian to ashes.

Li Ying's face was extremely gloomy, and his eyes were bloodshot. Li Xuan's talent was also astonishing. If he fell here, it would cause no small stir.

"This little fellow has actually triggered a heavenly tribulation. What cultivation technique is he practicing?" Yuan Xia's jade hand clenched slightly. If she knew that Yang Tian had triggered a heavenly tribulation at the Blood Refining realm, what would she think?

Yuan Xia hesitated for a moment. Her stunning figure flickered and appeared directly before Qing Tao and the others. "This little fellow has gone mad. You should persuade him quickly. The tribulations of two people combined increase not just a little."

The two were slightly moved. Seeing Yuan Xia's concerned expression, a hint of surprise appeared in Qing Tao's eyes.

"Miss, do you think Yang Tian looks like someone who can be persuaded?" Hearing this, Qing Tao shook his head slightly. Although it was his first time dealing with Yang Tian, he had some understanding of his temperament.

"You don't need to worry. Yang Tian survived nine heavenly tribulations at the Martial Artist realm. He should be fine." Xing Shan also agreed, then smiled.

"Nine heavenly tribulations!" Hearing this, a look of shock appeared in Yuan Xia's eyes. Her gaze flickered, as if she was thinking about something.

"By the way, what is your relationship with Yang Tian, miss?" After a pause, Xing Shan asked abruptly, without thinking. He had a little princess at home, after all.

Seeing Xing Shan's strange gaze, Yuan Xia was taken aback. "Old sir, what do you mean?"

"Ahem... ahem..." Qing Tao glanced at Xing Shan and coughed dryly, then smiled at Yuan Xia. "Miss, don't misunderstand. A few of our younger generation have a good relationship with Yang Tian, so we're just concerned. Nothing else."

Looking at the two, Yuan Xia nodded slightly and didn't explain further. Her beautiful eyes fell on Yang Tian.

The clouds rolled, thunder arcs flashed, and the sky was pitch black, exuding a dull and terrifying aura. A thundercloud several thousand zhang in size hovered above Yang Tian's head.

Watching the gathering thunderclouds in the sky, Yang Tian immersed his mind in cultivation. The Tongxuan realm was about converting the energy within the body into war qi. Cultivating to the Tongxuan realm truly stepped through the door of martial arts.

Ancient cultivators practiced war qi, driving out the hundred tribes. Every one of them was a battle maniac. Therefore, the energy of this realm was collectively called: war qi!

At this moment, Yang Tian placed all his bets on the origin of thunder. According to Yang Xiao, the origin of thunder was the supreme ruler of 'thunder,' and the power of origin could only be slightly comprehended by experts at the Emperor realm.

And the origin of thunder within Yang Tian, based on Yang Xiao's observation, was likely a heaven-and-earth-formed origin of thunder. This level of treasure far surpassed the power of origin comprehended by cultivators.

Origin was the ruler of all things. Yang Tian's origin of thunder was very weak and needed to devour heavenly tribulations to fully grow. That was why Yang Tian was confident enough to make this crazy plan.

At this moment, Li Xuan sat nearby, fully recovering his war qi. He couldn't escape now. The heavenly tribulation in the sky had locked onto him. If he survived it, he might step into the War King realm.

Starlight shone as Yang Tian devoured handfuls of Star Essence Pills. He had already consumed over forty thousand pills, but it was still far from the phenomenon of Stars Shining in the Azure Sky.

Yang Tian had originally planned to refine a pill to solidify the phenomenon of Stars Shining in the Azure Sky before breaking through, but now he didn't have much time.

The heavenly tribulation in the void was surging, emitting destructive power. The world essence within tens of thousands of li was drawn over. With two people crossing the tribulation together, the intensity of the tribulation had multiplied countless times.

The onlookers were horrified. Yang Tian was seeking death. Although his technique could devour heavenly tribulations, the intensity of the tribulation now was too fierce. Even some War King experts felt their scalps tingle.

Someone who had just broken into the Tongxuan realm crossing a War King's heavenly tribulation had less than a one-in-ten chance of survival.

Yuan Xia stood in the sky, gazing at the heavenly tribulation in the void. A trace of worry appeared on her exquisite face. Even the most terrifying youths of her clan had no confidence in surviving such a tribulation.

"Surviving nine heavenly tribulations... Could this little fellow be practicing a divine technique?" Yuan Xia pondered. Since the great calamity of ancient times, divine techniques had long ceased to exist in the world. Even if they existed, no one could cultivate them to a high realm, as they all died under heavenly tribulations.

"But this guy's recovery speed is too fast." Seeing that Yang Tian's spirit had reached its peak, Yuan Xia couldn't help but pout.

In the Ancestral Dragon Ring, Yang Tian put away the fist-sized top-grade bloodstone. Then he waved his hand, and a jade bottle appeared in his palm.

Opening the jade bottle, a wisp of rich life force surged out. Looking at the green liquid inside, Yang Tian licked his lips. This medicinal liquid was concocted by Yang Xiao using life water and many precious spiritual herbs.

Its effect was much stronger than life water, and it was less likely to leave aftereffects. This was Yang Tian's second trump card. The bottle contained a full two hundred drops, enough for Yang Tian to squander.

Yang Tian's mind returned to his physical body. Looking at the thundercloud tens of thousands of zhang above his head, a chill rose in his heart. The destructive power contained within made his scalp tingle.
