133: Chapter 133: The Various Forces Attracted by the Snow Emperor's Heavenly Tribulation
Just at the moment when that streak of ice-blue aurora tore through the firmament, endless thunderclouds gathered frantically above the Sunset Forest, and the vast heavenly might spread out.
In Heaven Dou City, all the powerhouses who had reached a certain level of cultivation, regardless of where they were or what they were doing, seemed to sense it. Unanimously, they stopped what they were doing and cast their suspicious and uncertain gazes toward the direction of the Sunset Forest.
That terrifying pressure originating from the laws of heaven and earth was like a giant boulder thrown into a calm lake, and the ripples it stirred up instantly swept across the entire Spirit Master's world in Heaven Dou City.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Sect Master's study.
Ning Fengzhi was discussing Sect matters with Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong.
This helmsman of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, with his scholarly demeanor and meticulous mind, was examining a piece of intelligence.
Suddenly, the two guardian Douluo opposite him changed their expressions almost simultaneously. They stood up abruptly, their gazes sharp as lightning, instantly piercing through the walls and courtyards, looking toward the direction of the Sunset Forest.
"Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, what is it?" Ning Fengzhi noticed something strange, put down the scroll in his hand, and asked gently.
It was definitely no small matter that could make Chen Xin and Gu Rong so moved.
Chen Xin, dressed in white as pure as snow with a cold expression, had rare gravity in his deep eyes at this moment. He said in a deep voice: "Fengzhi, in the direction of the Sunset Forest... someone is undergoing a tribulation!"
"A tribulation?" Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly. This term was not commonly used in the Spirit Master's world, usually related to the breakthrough of Spirit Beasts, especially the advancement of 100,000-year Spirit Beasts.
Spatial fluctuations appeared faintly around Gu Rong. He took over the conversation, his voice hoarse but filled with absolute certainty: "That's right, it is a Heavenly Tribulation. And this is definitely not a Heavenly Tribulation that an ordinary Spirit Beast can trigger when advancing to 100,000 years!"
"Not 100,000 years?"
Ning Fengzhi's heart stirred, and a guess emerged. He asked: "Could it be... a Spirit Beast is advancing to 100,000-year cultivation, but its foundation is particularly deep, triggering an exceptionally powerful Heavenly Tribulation?"
He tried to explain it with a reasonable speculation.
"It is definitely not that simple."
Chen Xin shook his head decisively, his gaze still locked on the rolling thunderclouds in the distant sky that even made him feel palpitations. He replied: "Although I have not seen a 100,000-year Spirit Beast Heavenly Tribulation in person, I have a rough idea of its power. The momentum of this Heavenly Tribulation before us... the destructive power contained in its core has far exceeded the scope of an ordinary 100,000-year Heavenly Tribulation!"
Gu Rong also nodded, his tone filled with incredulous emotion: "Chen Xin is right. The power brewing in these thunderclouds... is overbearing, pure, and filled with a sense of being intolerable to heaven and earth. The old man feels that even a Titled Douluo above level 95, if caught in it, would probably not last long before being reduced to ashes! This is definitely not something a newly advanced 100,000-year Spirit Beast can trigger; it is more like... some ancient existence that has existed for a long time, whose strength has long surpassed the ordinary 100,000-year level, is challenging a higher level of life!"
"An existence even more powerful than a 100,000-year Spirit Beast? On this continent... does it really exist?" Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi could not help but gasp.
In his cognition, and that of the vast majority of Spirit Masters, a 100,000-year Spirit Beast was already the pinnacle of the Spirit Beast World, an existence comparable to human Titled Douluo, or even stronger.
A Spirit Beast exceeding 100,000 years?
That is simply a legend!
"There might be some in the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest, but there will never be many."
Chen Xin withdrew his gaze, looked at Ning Fengzhi, and said softly with contemplation in his eyes: "But now, it has appeared in the Sunset Forest... That is not a Spirit Beast sanctuary in the traditional sense, and it is rare for Spirit Beasts exceeding the 50,000-year level to appear there. This is too unusual."
Ning Fengzhi's heart also sank.
A terrifying existence beyond cognition suddenly appeared to undergo a tribulation in the Sunset Forest, so close to Heaven Dou City. Regardless of success or failure, it might have an unpredictable impact on the surrounding situation.
If it succeeds, there will be an unimaginable neighbor outside Heaven Dou City.
If it fails, the place where it falls might become a new dangerous area, or even attract the covetousness of other powerful Spirit Beasts or factions.
"Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, do we need to..." Ning Fengzhi pondered, considering whether to send someone to investigate or strengthen the Sect's precautions.
Chen Xin waved his hand: "Let's wait and see for now. This level of Heavenly Tribulation is not something we can interfere with. Approaching rashly might bring disaster. Let's see the situation first."
Gu Rong also nodded in agreement.
Faced with such power that was almost like a natural disaster, individual strength, even that of a Titled Douluo, seemed exceptionally small.

At the same time, Heaven Dou City, Qian Renxue's secret residence.
In the elegantly decorated study, Qian Renxue was reading a book carefully, her beautiful profile as quiet as a painting under the light.
In the quiet room next door, Xiao Wu was concentrating on absorbing the Immortal Plant given by Lu Jing, her pink Soul Power fluctuations steady and orderly.
Suddenly, the door of the study was knocked gently. Immediately, two figures appeared silently outside the door; they were Porcupinefish Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo, who were ordered to stay and protect the place.
The two Titled Douluo had obvious gravity on their faces at this moment, and their auras were somewhat unstable.
"Come in." Qian Renxue said lightly without even raising her head.
Porcupinefish Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo pushed the door and entered.
Porcupinefish Douluo stepped forward and bowed to report, his voice carrying a hint of urgency: "Young Master, just now we sensed that an extremely strong energy fluctuation erupted in the direction of the Sunset Forest, triggering a vision of heaven and earth. It is a sign of the arrival of a Heavenly Tribulation! Moreover, judging from the energy attributes, it is extremely similar to the aura of Senior Snow Empress!"
"Senior Snow Empress?"
The hand holding the book by Qian Renxue paused slightly, and she finally raised her head. A flash of surprise crossed her violet eyes, and she asked: "She is undergoing a tribulation? So fast? Is it the 700,000-year Heavenly Tribulation?"
"Exactly!"
Snake Lance Douluo interjected, his tone certain: "Looking at the scale and pressure of that Heavenly Tribulation, it far exceeds the tribulation of an ordinary 100,000-year Spirit Beast. It must be at the 700,000-year level without a doubt! Moreover, looking at its location, it seems to be near that special valley in the depths of the Sunset Forest..."
He stopped speaking, obviously thinking that Lu Jing and the others had left in a hurry before, and it was very likely that they had gone there.
On Qian Renxue's beautiful face, her expression changed rapidly.
The Snow Empress was undergoing a tribulation, and it was right in the Sunset Forest where Lu Jing and Wang Donger had just gone!
What does this mean?
Did something go wrong with Lu Jing's plan?
With the Snow Empress's cultivation of nearly 700,000 years, the power of her Heavenly Tribulation must be earth-shattering. Although Lu Jing and Wang Donger were strong, how much could they help in the face of a Heavenly Tribulation?
If the Snow Empress's tribulation failed, or the Heavenly Tribulation went out of control, the consequences would be unimaginable!
She stood up abruptly without any hesitation, and the book in her hand was placed on the table at will.
"Snake Lance, you stay, guard the residence, especially keep an eye on Xiao Wu, and do not allow any mistakes!" Qian Renxue's voice returned to her usual calmness and majesty, but her speech was a bit faster.
"Yes, Young Master!" Snake Lance Douluo immediately bowed to accept the order.
"Porcupinefish, you come with me, head to the Sunset Forest immediately!" Qian Renxue ordered, and a pale golden sacred aura was already faintly flowing around her.
"Young Lady, the power of that Heavenly Tribulation is extraordinary. If you go in person, is it..." Porcupinefish Douluo was a bit worried; even he felt palpitations from the power of that Heavenly Tribulation.
"It's fine, I know what I'm doing. The Snow Empress is a friend of Xiao Jing and the others, I cannot sit idly by. Besides, Xiao Jing and Donger are also there." Qian Renxue's tone was unquestionable. Her figure flashed, and she had turned into a golden streak of light, rushing out of the mansion.
She had to confirm the situation in person and see if there was anything she could help with.
Seeing this, Porcupinefish Douluo did not dare to be slow and hurriedly followed.
The two figures, one after the other, quickly disappeared outside the residence and rushed to the direction of the Sunset Forest at full speed.
