173: God releases water

“Hmph!”

“Heavenly Dao, leave this Saint Dao Great Tribulation to others! This Seat will initiate the Battle of Proving Sainthood!”

Boom!!!

The immeasurable power evolving within his body surged out, transforming into a mighty Dragon of power that shot straight into the sky.

“Buzz buzz buzz!”

At this instant, Heaven and Earth trembled, and an invisible will converged from between Heaven and Earth.

At the same time, a golden eye emerged above the firmament, hanging high, gazing down.

What kind of eye was this? It was filled with vast majesty, devoid of any emotion, only indifference—an indifference born from its view of all living beings.

The moment this eye appeared, Blue Robe felt a terrifying Heavenly might descend upon him. Even at his Realm, he still felt incredibly small, as if an ant facing a mountain ten thousand zhang tall.

Eye of the Heavenly Dao!

Blue Robe was aghast!

He hadn't expected that a Battle of Proving Sainthood would attract the attention of the Eye of the Heavenly Dao.

He had lived for a long time and witnessed many Battles of Proving Sainthood, but he had never seen the Heavenly Dao truly manifest.

And he himself followed the path of a Heavenly Dao Saint, yet even so, the Heavenly Dao only sent down an Incarnation and did not give him its attention.

After all, this was the Heavenly Dao. Although a Heavenly Dao Saint needed to suppress the Heavenly Dao to become one, the Heavenly Dao suppressed here was merely a Clone of the true Heavenly Dao, or perhaps another trial.

To suppress the true Heavenly Dao, it was estimated that only the legendary Great Emperors could do so, and not just ordinary Great Emperors.

And the person undergoing Proving Sainthood had actually drawn the attention of the Eye of the Heavenly Dao, which clearly indicated that he was extraordinary. This was definitely an existence no weaker than a Saint Eyes Wielder.

Thinking of this, Blue Robe became even more excited.

He hadn't expected that coming to the Five Great Domains this time would yield two True Kings.

As for whether the two would refuse, he hadn't even considered it.

“To be able to draw the Eye of the Heavenly Dao, this person is definitely a True King, so he absolutely cannot be allowed to live!”

“Hehehe! This time, this Seat can take that step!”

Somewhere in the Zhengyuan Holy Domain, a pale green figure emerged, with cruelty and excitement in his eyes.

Besides these two, other existences simply couldn't detect the presence of the Eye of the Heavenly Dao. After all, that was the Heavenly Dao; ordinary beings, even Saint Emperors, might not be able to see it.

However, the powerhouses paying attention here all realized that the person Undergoing Tribulation was not undergoing a Saint Dao Great Tribulation, but was walking the path of Proving Sainthood.

“I didn't expect it to be Proving Sainthood. This old man has lived for over two hundred epochs, witnessing twenty-one Proving Sainthood Tribulations, with only one success. I wonder if this person today can successfully prove Sainthood!”

“Proving Sainthood, ah!”

“Seeking death!”

These powerhouses looked in Xu Qing's direction, some with calm expressions, some with emotion, some with anticipation, and some with mockery.

The Eternal Continent is vast, with countless regions. Eventually, a group of people would emerge to walk the path of Proving Sainthood, but many would retreat when they were about to face the Proving Sainthood Tribulation.

The path of Proving Sainthood was simply too difficult, and after walking this arduous path, one would face the Proving Sainthood Tribulation with a slim chance of survival.

On the other side!

Boom!

The moment the Eye of the Heavenly Dao appeared, an endless pressure enveloped Xu Qing.

“Come on! Today, I will once again prove Sainthood and break the shackles of the Heavenly Dao.”

Xu Qing uttered each word clearly, without the slightest tremor, but with each word he spoke, the pressure on his body increased exponentially.

Under this pressure, an ordinary Great Saint would have long since exploded and died.

It could be said that from the moment the Eye of the Heavenly Dao appeared, the assessment had already begun. Retreat or defeat, both meant death.

This was a trial of the Heavenly Dao. Without powerful strength, how could one gain the recognition of Heaven and Earth and become an unfettered Heavenly Dao Saint?

The pressure continued.

“Buzz!”

But at this moment, a mysterious aura surged from Xu Qing's body.

The seemingly unchanging Eye of the Heavenly Dao suddenly showed a hint of confusion.

“Hmm?”

Only Xu Qing noticed this scene. Just as he was puzzled, he felt that the endless pressure had actually weakened.

Thinking that the mysterious aura had emerged from his chest earlier, he immediately realized something.

It was the Heaven and Earth Dao Heart!

That's right, the Heaven and Earth Dao Heart was a Dao Heart condensed from the will of the ancient Heavenly Dao. This was equivalent to something of the Heavenly Dao.

The reason why the Eye of the Heavenly Dao weakened its pressure should be because it regarded him as an existence similar to a Son of Heaven.

Suddenly!

Rumble!

The endless pressure disappeared, and the terrifying tribulation clouds began to escalate sharply. Horrifying power emanated from within, making even a Small Saint appear minuscule under such power.

At the same time, a mysterious Heavenly Dao power enveloped an area of ten million li, so much so that everyone couldn't see clearly within.

They could only vaguely see figures imbued with the aura of the Heavenly Dao evolving from nothingness. Each of these figures exuded powerful strength and flashed with distinctly different Origin auras.

In their perception, any one of those Heavenly Dao Incarnations was enough to crush a Great Saint powerhouse.

“It's over! A full ninety-nine Heavenly Dao Incarnations, and all of them are at Great Saint Perfection. This unlucky fellow is doomed!”

“Let's disperse! There's nothing more to see!”

“Alas!”

Seeing this scene, those powerhouses couldn't help but sigh.

And Blue Robe and the pale green figure both felt a sense of regret. The former regretted the imminent demise of a True King; the latter regretted not being able to kill Xu Qing, and even resented it, as he had missed out on a large amount of resources!

And in the Proving Sainthood Tribulation.

Xu Qing looked at the terrifying divine figures filling the sky and couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing. He could feel that the Heavenly Dao was going easy on him.

Because although the necessary procedures were being followed, the strength of those terrifying divine figures in the sky was only at the Great Saint Perfection Realm.

Perhaps to ordinary people, they were incredibly powerful, but to Xu Qing, they posed no threat at all.

This was the Heavenly Dao; it was impossible for it not to know his ultimate strength. Clearly, it was going easy.

He hadn't expected that after so much preparation, a Heaven and Earth Dao Heart had already solved the problem for him early on.

“System, did you know this all along?”

“Ding! The Heaven and Earth Dao Heart was formed from a Dao Stone left behind after the will of the ancient Heavenly Dao constructed the Upper Realm. A trace of the Origin of the will of Heaven remains on it.”

“The Host's initial Fusion with the Dao Heart will imbue his body with a trace of the Origin of the will of Heaven. This Heavenly Dao has treated the Host as a Son of Heaven, and thus will provide the Host with preferential treatment.”

Xu Qing's eyes lit up. Clearly, this will of Heaven was definitely an existence superior to the Heavenly Dao, otherwise the Heavenly Dao wouldn't have done this.

Does that mean, with the identity of a Son of Heaven, he could walk unimpeded across the continent?

“Ding! Please, Host, abandon this dangerous idea. The Heavenly Dao is an existence designated by the will of Heaven to manage this Heaven and Earth on its behalf. While it will grant some preferential treatment to a Son of Heaven, it will not interfere with the life and death of a Son of Heaven.”

“I was just joking!”

Xu Qing was still very clear-headed. Only by being strong himself could he resist all difficulties. Otherwise, if he encountered a life-or-death crisis, even with the title of Son of Heaven, he would still die.

Boom!

A Heavenly Dao Incarnation, like an enraged Vajra, slammed a sky-covering hand towards Xu Qing.

Star-Pointing Saint Finger!

Xu Qing pointed forward, and vast Saint power converged to form a giant finger that shot out.

Boom!!!

The two collided, directly erupting with terrifying power that made people tremble with fear.

Chixiao Divine Finger!

Sacred Fire Divine Palm!

Chaos Divine Lightning!

...Xu Qing unleashed terrifying Divine Abilities, battling against the many Heavenly Dao Incarnations.

“Hiss! The Proving Sainthood Tribulation hasn't ended, so doesn't that mean...”

At this moment, many powerhouses who were about to leave noticed this. They vaguely saw a terrifying battle erupting in that area.

“An unparalleled Prodigy! No, a True King! This is definitely a young True King, or even an peerless True King!”

Someone said with a trembling voice.

Such an existence was definitely no weaker than a Sacred Eye Owner. If they didn't know that the Sacred Eye Owner was still a Heavenly Emperor, they would have suspected that the person in front of them was the Sacred Eye Owner.

Immediately, brilliance appeared in everyone's eyes.

Such a person, even if they couldn't be brought into their Sect, must be befriended.

As for killing the opponent, very few forces would do so, unless there was animosity between them!
