424: Start to overcome the tribulation
At the same time, on the Golden Crow Ancestral Star, inside a magnificent temple stretching ten thousand zhang, the Golden Crow Great Emperor sat on the supreme throne, his expression extremely grim.
The atmosphere in the air was incredibly tense.
He was the Dao Attainer of this era.
Logically speaking, he should have been invincible across the Myriad Realms, an existence that could never be defeated.
One hundred years ago, he fought Wang Dong and ultimately suffered injuries and fled.
This was a great humiliation.
It could be said to be the most aggrieved Dao Attainer in the entire history of cultivation.
Now, Wang Dong was even brazenly attempting to attain Dao right under his nose.
This was simply a blatant challenge, and to some extent, an insult.
It was one thing to achieve a Breakthrough, but to publicize it across the entire Universe before the Breakthrough was another.
At this moment, he was in a dilemma, unsure whether to go or not.
If he didn't go, his already tarnished reputation would decline even further.
If he did go, he lacked absolute confidence.
Wang Dong from 100 years ago was already astonishing; Wang Dong 100 years later was simply unimaginable.
As for himself, he hadn't made much progress in these 100 years.
The main reason was that Wang Dong's technique back then was too terrifying; the Immortal Path Qi it emanated had injured his Origin Foundation.
It took him a full 100 years, coupled with various Heaven And Earth Treasures contributed by his clan, to barely recover.
With one side rising and the other falling, the gap naturally grew wider and wider.
Under these circumstances, the Golden Crow Ancestor's heart grew even more anxious.
Just then, a Great Saint of the Golden Crow Clan, seemingly sensing the Golden Crow Great Emperor's urgency, quickly spoke up.
"Great Emperor, what should we do? Wang Dong is so arrogant, daring to provoke you in such a way. Even if it costs us our lives, we are willing to clear your name."
As these words were uttered, almost everyone in the entire temple perked up their ears.
Every person present here was a high-ranking member of the Golden Crow Clan.
They were also curious about how their Old Ancestor would handle this matter.
One must know that the outcome of that battle was no secret; although the Old Ancestor's retreat did not involve life or death, it was enough to prove Wang Dong's strength.
Directly confronting him was almost impossible.
Even the Ancient Sacred Body, who was merely a Great Saint in the past, was already enough to contend with the Golden Crow Great Emperor.
If he were to achieve a Breakthrough now, what would happen? There would be almost no chance of victory.
Moreover, even without a Breakthrough, 100 years was enough time to consolidate some overlooked areas, which would not hinder his strength improvement.
Due to this concern, everyone wanted to hear the Golden Crow Ancestor's answer.
The Golden Crow Great Emperor's expression was extremely grim.
He let out a long, cold snort.
"What's the rush? Wang Dong is arrogant and audacious, daring to invite all the Dark Supremes to witness his ceremony."
"What can he do if I don't go? Those people are all ruthless, likely already coveting the Sacred Body Origin; there will surely be a good show to watch then."
The Golden Crow Ancestor frowned, then suddenly thought of a possibility, and immediately spoke to the crowd.
"We can go and observe then; perhaps we might gain some Opportunity."
"Oh, and bring the defensive Supreme Treasure."
At the same time, in the Cosmic Starry Sky, the Borderland region was pitch black, cold, and desolate.
Just then, Wang Dong, holding a Supreme Emperor Weapon, soared into the sky.
One Supreme Emperor Weapon after another simultaneously revived, unleashing terrifying Emperor Weapon power, and this part of the Starry Sky Universe seemed to be greatly affected.
However, Wang Dong remained unchanged.
He was completely unaffected, soaring straight towards the heavens, solely for his own Dao Attainment.
But at this very moment, someone threw out a Formation Plate.
Immediately after, a defensive Formation appeared at the spot where Wang Dong had just stood.
This was precisely the Formation left behind by Wang Yusheng before his departure.
It involved the techniques of the Source Celestial Master lineage.
Although this item was a product from 100 years ago, it might be somewhat less effective now.
However, if it was merely used to obstruct certain individuals, it would be sufficient.
At the same time, the hearts of the arriving Myriad Races powerhouses trembled.
Their eyes revealed shock as they watched Wang Dong move like a swimming Dragon amidst the Cosmic Lightning Tribulation.
His strength was such that even the Heavenly Tribulation couldn't wear down his Physical Body?
Everyone's hearts were filled with immense shock.
But at the same time, they deeply knew that this battle today was destined to be astonishing.
One must know that the news Wang Dong had spread a few days ago clearly indicated his intention to Breakthrough to the Quasi-Emperor Realm Nine Heavens today, reaching the supreme Realm.
However, certain Dark Supremes would absolutely not allow such a thing to happen.
There was a high probability that obstructors would appear, including but not limited to Dark Supremes and the Great Emperors of that world.
A battle of this level, perhaps even the aftershocks alone, could verify the power of an ordinary Great Saint.
This was extremely similar to a scene that once occurred on the Road to Immortality.
Therefore, none of the Myriad Races powerhouses who rushed over dared to approach rashly; they all watched from an extremely distant position.
Just then, an exceptionally powerful bolt of Lightning descended.
This Lightning seemed different from everything that had come before.
It was entirely black, like a doomsday Lightning Tribulation.
It seemed as if Wang Dong had committed some heinous act and was now facing Heavenly Retribution.
Of course, besides this, there was another possibility: Wang Dong's very existence was too taboo.
It had certainly affected the Heavenly Dao.
And at this moment, a young man gazed intently at Wang Dong in the center, his eyes burning.
He was Wang Ming.
He had inherited his father's Bloodline, although it also included his mother's Innate Dao Embryo.
However, the Innate Dao Embryo Physique was rather special; it didn't stand out among Wang Ming's various combat strengths and wasn't adept at fighting.
Therefore, if he could observe Wang Dong Undergoing Tribulation, he might learn many things.
A terrifying Qi unconsciously emanated from him.
Some people nearby were affected, and when they looked, their expressions instantly changed drastically.
"It's the Quasi-Emperor Realm Seven Heavens! How is this possible?!"
In just a few hundred years, his father was already a Prodigy, and they hadn't expected his son to be a Prodigy as well.
Could it be true, as recorded in ancient texts, that the Wang family 700 years ago possessed some Heaven-Defying means of changing fate?
Just then, the world-destroying Lightning Tribulation evolved again, and a terrifyingly powerful humanoid lightning appeared within the lightning pool.
This was not the first time Wang Dong had seen it; counting the time on the Immortal Path, it should be the second time.
Of course, even though Wang Dong did not participate that time, he merely inferred it from others' scattered remarks.
The Lightning Tribulation completely fell upon Wang Dong.
Instantly, Wang Dong was swallowed by the calamity; almost no trace of him or his group could be seen.
Everyone initially thought Wang Dong might be severely injured by this.
But then they discovered that some terrifying existence seemed to be devouring the Lightning.
