Chapter 1690: Crossing for Fun

Seeing someone appear, Ren Qingyuan and the others became alert, drew their weapons, and prepared to fight, but then they recognized the figure.

"It's Master Luo!"

Ren Qingyuan said.

Jiang Fangyou and Luo Qianzhen also recognized her at that moment.

They had all seen Luo Ruoxi before—ethereal and超凡脱俗, once seen, never forgotten, absolutely unmistakable.

But... why would she suddenly appear here?

Shouldn't she have returned to the Zhang family with Zhang Xuan to guard the Dragon Tiger Mountain underground cavern?

"Could she be a member of the Spirit Race?"

With a frown, Luo Qianzhen's murderous intent boiled over.

Although he had acknowledged Zhang Xuan as the family head, he still remembered the time when that man had caused trouble in the Luo family, and a single servant of his had beaten their entire clan into submission without any resistance.

Afterward, he had investigated carefully, but this person seemed to have appeared out of thin air, with no prior information about him...

No teacher, no background, and he possessed such formidable strength the moment he appeared... it was hard not to be suspicious!

Hearing him say this, the other two looked over and saw Luo Ruoxi. Faced with the corpses strewn across the ground, her face showed no particular emotion; instead, she was searching around as if looking for something.

"If it were him, suddenly seeing so many clansmen dead here would surely cause a lapse in his composure! He wouldn't be this calm..."

Ren Qingyuan said.

A hundred thousand members of the Alien Spirit Clan, all dead here, enough to shake their foundation and harm their roots. If the other party were truly from the Alien Spirit Clan, they would inevitably show various expressions. The fact that they showed none at all was sufficient to indicate the problem.

"Master Ren, Patriarch Luo, Patriarch Jiang, have you seen Zhang Xuan?"

The three were communicating telepathically when they saw the girl had also noticed them. She looked over and asked with a cupped fist salute.

"Zhang Xuan? Teacher Zhang is here too?"

Ren Qingyuan was startled.

They had only parted yesterday, and Teacher Zhang had hurried back to the Zhang family. How could he appear here?

"Mm, yesterday Zhang Xuan single-handedly resolved the crisis at the Dragon Tiger Mountain underground cavern and then entered the seal. I searched for a long time before finding this place..." Luo Ruoxi nodded.

"I know a little about the situation at the Dragon Tiger Mountain underground cavern. If I'm not mistaken, at least ten thousand soldiers of the Alien Clan were stationed there! Single-handedly resolved... what do you mean?" Jiang Fangyou asked with slight confusion, looking over.

Members of their clan traveled between the Dragon Tiger Mountain underground cavern and the cavern guarded by the Luo family, so they were well-informed about the situation on both sides.

The Dragon Tiger Mountain underground cavern, as one of the six largest caverns on the continent, was filled with countless powerful beings of the Alien Clan. Even the Zhang family guarding it as a whole was not entirely safe. Resolving it single-handedly? How could that be possible!

"There were indeed ten thousand soldiers of the Alien Clan. Yesterday, Zhang Xuan said he would go and investigate, and then he conveniently killed them all. By the time we discovered it, he had already entered this ancient battlefield!" Luo Ruoxi explained.

"Investigate and conveniently kill them all?"

"Are you sure you're not joking?"

All of them shuddered, feeling as if their scalps were about to explode.

The combat power and abilities of the alien race—they had fought them countless times and knew them well. Ten thousand of them could easily contend with half-step ancient sages, or even ordinary ancient sages... To investigate and then kill them all... Are you telling the truth?

"Yes, I just saw it. These hundred thousand were also killed by him, but... where is he? You arrived early—have you found anything?"

Luo Ruoxi said.

She had been with Zhang Xuan these past days and knew his methods well. The last large area of corpses that Ren Qingyuan had mentioned—she had seen them too. The wounds left by the Gold Origin Cauldron and the Dragon Bone Divine Spear were still easy to identify.

But... she had come and not found any trace of him. Since the three had arrived early, could they have discovered something just now?

"One person... killed an army of a hundred thousand?"

"No, including those from the Dragon Tiger Mountain cave, it's a total of one hundred and ten thousand!"

"In other words, the alien race that had made all the masters on the Master Continent tremble with fear was wiped out by him alone?"

The three powerhouses felt their vision go dark, the worldview they had known completely collapsing.

Was this for real?

A hundred and ten thousand alien clansmen above the Saint Domain Third Layer, placed on the Master Continent, would be enough to make all masters tremble in fear. Once a battle broke out, the Master Hall would at least lose more than half its members, losing its current prestige.

One man, alone and single-handed... had killed them all.

How on earth did he do it?

Even the Master Kong of old didn't have such a glorious record!

"Master Luo, we just arrived as well and haven't seen any trace of Master Zhang..."

After the shock, Ren Qingyuan began to explain, but before he could finish, he suddenly sensed chaos in the air. He quickly looked up and saw a large patch of dark clouds rapidly gathering.

"It's a heavenly tribulation..."

They all froze and looked up, only to see a figure appearing before them, quietly floating beneath the dark clouds.

Within the clouds, black flames roiled, scorching the surrounding air until it seemed the sky itself was about to melt.

"This is the Heavenly Fire Tribulation..."

Luo Qianzhen and Jiang Fangyou swallowed hard.

It had only been a little over a day since they parted from this Master Zhang—definitely not two days—and not only had he broken through to the peak of the Saint Domain Ninth Layer, he was now beginning to assault the Golden Body Realm...

How did he cultivate?

For others, breaking through a major bottleneck required countless effort and painstaking work, but this guy acted as if it were child's play...

And most crucially, in between, he had found time to kill a hundred and ten thousand alien clansmen, along with countless Immortal Realm-level commanders...

"You're all here..."

While everyone was stunned, Zhang Xuan, who was undergoing the tribulation, saw them and smiled slightly: "Wait for me a moment. Let me get through the Heavenly Fire Tribulation first!"

Having said that, without waiting for anyone to respond, he leaped straight into the dark clouds.

"The Heavenly Fire Tribulation... can it be crossed like this?"

Luo Qianzhen staggered.

This fellow before him—he had heard of crossing the thunder tribulation many times and knew something about it, but that was the thunder tribulation. Could the Heavenly Fire Tribulation be crossed like this too... wasn't he afraid of being burned to ashes?

The most crucial thing was, what was with that relaxed expression?

Did you really think you could cross such a violent tribulation unscathed?

"Well..."

Seeing his shock, Ren Qingyuan on the side looked embarrassed and couldn't help but say, "He just crossed the Heavenly Fire Tribulation yesterday... at the headquarters of the Master Teacher Hall!"

"Crossed it once?"

Luo Qianzhen looked over with confusion: "Isn't the Heavenly Fire Tribulation something a person can only cross once in a lifetime? How could it be twice?"

The Heavenly Fire Tribulation corresponds to the Golden Body realm... a Great Sage only has one chance to cross the tribulation in a lifetime. How could there be two?

"I don't know either, but anyway, yesterday I saw with my own eyes that he crossed the tribulation at the headquarters of the Master Teacher Hall, using the same method, charging into the dark clouds..."

Ren Qingyuan said with certainty.

"No, Master Ren... if I'm not mistaken, the day before yesterday, Master Zhang crossed a Heavenly Fire Tribulation at our Jiang family. How... did he end up at your Master Teacher Hall again?"

Jiang Fangyou couldn't help but speak up.

"Three times?"

Luo Qianzhen staggered.

This was the Heavenly Fire Tribulation, something everyone feared.

Could one really cross it over and over again, just for fun?
