The Heaven-Stealing Gu Insect has breached our defenses!

Great Shaman One and Great Shaman Two did not hesitate.

With a casual wave of their hands...

...the three-layered nine-layered tower floating in the sky appeared.

Seeing this, the five people from the Sacred Palace had a bad premonition.

Even the struggling Heaven-Seizing Gu Worm below felt a sense of dread.

A six-layered nine-layered tower appeared in Great Shaman One's hand.

They merged together, and the nine-layered tower was restored.

Great Shaman One threw it directly into the Void Realm.

This all happened too quickly.

By the time the five Great Ancestors of the Sacred Palace reacted, it was already too late.

Furthermore, all their current power was being used to suppress the Heaven-Seizing Gu Worm.

"You are people of the Shaman Clan?"

Great Shaman One let out a cold snort.

"Back then, you slaughtered the living beings of my Shaman Clan to feed the Heaven-Seizing Gu Worm. Today, it is time for the reckoning."

The runes on Great Shaman One and Great Shaman Two began to glow.

A white radiance suddenly appeared.

"Not good! They're going to self-detonate!"

The Sacred Palace's Great Ancestor's eyes were filled with horror.

The Heaven-Seizing Gu Worm realized what was happening.

Its wings flapped.

It directly severed the runes that were suppressing it.

Panic filled its eyes.

It had already sensed that it had absorbed the power of these two people before.

Later, because the power was too vast, it wasn't confident in surviving the Lightning Tribulation...

...so it stopped absorbing their power.

It was too late to break free now.

It was no longer the Heaven-Seizing Divine Demon it once was.

It was merely a regressed Gu worm, and because the Heavenly Dao was now complete, it didn't even dare to face the Lightning Tribulation.

It never expected that a single wrong thought would lead it to its current state.

Back then, it had absorbed enough energy and was in no hurry to make a Breakthrough.

Instead, it thought of continuously accumulating power to eventually leap across the Realm above the Great Emperor.

At the very least, it wanted to reach the Hundred Ancient Emperor level.

Who could have known that while it was planning...

...the Heavenly Dao would suddenly become complete.

Infinite regret welled up in its heart.

It even continuously Sealed its own power to prevent itself from making a Breakthrough.

A Lightning Tribulation with a complete Heavenly Dao was entirely different from one with an incomplete one.

Even it had no certainty of surviving.

Having cultivated for another lifetime, it didn't want to die under the Lightning Tribulation.

It felt two massive Domains enveloping the Sacred Palace.

By the time it realized, it was already too late.

Great Shaman One and Great Shaman Two also knew.

Over these years, their essence, energy, spirit, and life force had already been exhausted.

This was their final strike.

Their revenge against the Heaven-Seizing Gu Worm and these few people.

Back then, our Shaman Clan suffered a heavy blow.

They had almost perished.

Otherwise, how could these few petty thieves have been so arrogant?

Rumble!

The entire Southern Border trembled.

Great Shaman One and Great Shaman Two concentrated their power.

The entire Sacred Palace was instantly reduced to ruins.

The five Great Ancestors of the Sacred Palace were filled with horror.

Before they could react, the Fifth Elder was directly blown to pieces.

All the provinces near the Southern Border felt this terrifying power.

They did not dare to approach.

The power within the Heaven-Seizing Gu Worm began to erupt.

Rumble!

A power exceeding the Great Emperor Realm erupted.

The golden patterns on its body seemed to come to life.

They transformed into a layer of golden light, guarding its front.

The explosion lasted for an hour.

As the aftershocks of the explosion dissipated...

...the Sacred Palace's First Ancestor and Second Ancestor survived.

The remaining three were killed in the blast.

Chu Xinghe was hiding at the edge of the Southern Border.

He held the nine-layered tower in his hand.

A faint protective layer shielded him.

He was not affected by the blast.

Even without this item, Chu Xinghe would not have been harmed.

Chu Xinghe sensed the place where the Great Clan Elder and the others had left.

He formed hand Seals.

A Void Passage appeared.

"This is something your ancestors left for you. Use it well."

After Chu Xinghe finished, he continued to look into the distance.

Seeing the extinction of all things and the absence of life in the entire Southern Border, he clicked his tongue in amazement.

Those two were certainly decisive enough.

If they had chosen to fight...

...the ones to perish in the end would definitely have been them.

Only because their Bloodlines shared the same origin and their powers merged were they barely able to erupt with the strength of the Thousand Ages Emperor Realm.

It wasn't quite the Thousand Ages Emperor level; it was just a bit short.

If they had chosen to fight...

...it would only take a moment before their Physical Bodies shattered.

They would have eventually been slain by those few people.

Chu Xinghe's gaze was fixed on the sky.

An oppressive aura descended.

Chu Xinghe's attention turned to the Heaven-Seizing Gu Worm.

Oh, the Heavenly Tribulation is here.

I originally thought I would need to plan for a while longer.

Great Shaman One and Great Shaman Two really did me a huge favor.

They truly were two great people.

May they rest in peace.

At this moment, the Heaven-Seizing Gu Worm's massive eyes were filled with killing intent.

After looking up at the Lightning Tribulation in the sky...

...its eyes were filled with deep regret, shock, and fear.

It continuously suppressed the Grotto-Heaven Power within its body.

If it all erupted...

...the Lightning Tribulation would likely become even stronger.

It had been suppressing its power because it didn't want to undergo the Lightning Tribulation.

After all, this was a re-cultivation, and the Lightning Tribulation would be even more powerful than before.

Even as a remnant Divine Demon, it felt fear.

As a result, its plan was ruined.

It looked back.

Its expression shifted.

There were actually two fellows who hadn't been killed by the explosion.

No one else can be present during a Lightning Tribulation.

Otherwise, the Lightning Tribulation would strengthen further.

The Heaven-Seizing Gu Worm was already regretting why it hadn't faced the Lightning Tribulation while the Heavenly Dao was incomplete.

Looking back and seeing that those two idiots weren't dead yet...

...it couldn't help but lose its composure.

"F*ck you ##&...%**...&&&*&%%...￥￥"

At this time, the Sacred Palace's Great Ancestor and Second Ancestor were pale.

Their internal auras were weak.

They had resisted that self-detonation.

Coupled with their previous suppression of the Heaven-Seizing Gu Worm...

...the power in their bodies was already exhausted.

Just as they regained their senses, they heard the sound of angry cursing.

The two of them were completely dazed.

They just watched as the Heaven-Seizing Gu Worm, eyes full of fury...

...hurled abuse at them.

Just as the two were about to fight back...

A feeling of palpitations struck them.

The two of them looked up, and their souls almost flew out of their bodies in fright.

Black clouds covered the sky, and thunder roared incessantly.

Their faces were now deathly pale.

They had no power left to resist a Lightning Tribulation.

Rumble!

A roar came from the sky.

Three bolts of lightning, each a hundred zhang thick, descended from the heavens.

The already destroyed Sacred Palace was subjected to further destruction.

Upon feeling how powerful the first bolt of the Lightning Tribulation was, the Heaven-Seizing Gu Worm...

...was filled with worry.

Can I still survive this?

Will I still see tomorrow's sun?

The golden patterns on its body moved continuously.

They transformed into a defense, constantly guarding it.

The other two people were frantically swallowing Medicinal Pills.

With a casual wave, the Spiritual Qi from a million miles around was swept clean.

They condensed and absorbed it to restore power in their bodies.

Bang! Bang!

The lightning fell.

Sparks flew even from the ground.

The two of them coughed.

Black smoke billowed from their entire bodies.

Their hair stood on end.

Their faces had turned black.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief after surviving the first bolt of the Lightning Tribulation.

There were still eight more.

Rumble!

The Lightning Tribulation fell directly.

Shock and horror filled their eyes.

How could this be?

Why was there no interval in between?

Who could tell them why?

Why had the second bolt fallen...

...just as the first one had finished?

The two of them hadn't even reacted yet.

In the sky...

...three consecutive bolts of the Lightning Tribulation followed immediately after.

Chu Xinghe watched this scene from afar.

He was amazed by the sight.

Impressive!

Before long, the two of them perished under the seventh bolt of the Lightning Tribulation.

Chu Xinghe shook his head.

His gaze fell upon the Heaven-Seizing Gu Worm.

The golden patterns on its body had become dim.

Its four pairs of wings had been destroyed.

It stared fixedly at the eighth bolt of the Lightning Tribulation in the sky.

A wave of Heavenly Might rapidly descended.
