151: Chapter 151 The Tribulation Begins, Dragon Flame Monarch

Meanwhile, several figures approached the lightning tribulation.

"Chen Gu, what is your relationship with this guy? Why is he undergoing his tribulation in your territory?"

A Thunder-Flame Unicorn, its four limbs accompanied by auspicious clouds, galloped through the air, eventually being the first to arrive near the lightning tribulation and landing on the ground, right in front of Chen Gu.

"He is a friend of my Ancient Tree Clan."

Chen Gu stroked his beard and replied indifferently.

"A friend? How come I don't know you had such a friend?"

Suddenly, another powerhouse arrived; its voice preceded its appearance.

It was a Twin-Winged Magic-Eyed Lizard, possessing a Tier 6 peak cultivation. Although it was in the same realm as Chen Gu, its strength was significantly greater than Chen Gu's.

"You are not welcome here. Please leave my territory."

Upon seeing the Magic-Eyed Lizard, Chen Gu frowned, his tone displeased.

"Old man, don't be like that. We can be considered old friends; why make things so unpleasant between us?" The Magic-Eyed Lizard let out an evil laugh, paying no mind to Chen Gu's words, with no intention of leaving.

"Who is your friend? You might have forgotten what happened decades ago, but I haven't!" Chen Gu had a grudge against the Magic-Eyed Lizard.

The Magic-Eyed Lizard was arrogant and condescending. Decades ago, it had caused damage to the Ancient Tree Clan, and Chen Gu had to exhaust all his strength to barely drive it out of his territory. Chen Gu would never forget that incident.

If it had been any other ferocious beast, there might have been room for reconciliation, but for the Magic-Eyed Lizard, it was absolutely impossible.

"So, do you mean you want to fight me again?" The Magic-Eyed Lizard had never taken Chen Gu seriously from the beginning. Even though they were on the other's territory and the opponent had a significant advantage, it was not afraid at all.

"Both of you, calm down. And Xie Yan, you had better fix that temper of yours. If you dare to act recklessly here, I wouldn't mind fighting you myself." The Unicorn's tone was neither cold nor warm; it did not have a good impression of the Magic-Eyed Lizard.

"Forget it. I won't bicker with this old man, and I didn't come here to fight." With that, the Magic-Eyed Lizard looked at Bai Xuan, who was in the midst of the lightning tribulation, and asked: "Who is this guy? How come I've never seen him before?"

"He is a friend of Chen Gu." The Unicorn responded instinctively.

"Nonsense, didn't that guy already say that? I'm asking about this guy's origin."

The Magic-Eyed Lizard rolled its eyes at the Unicorn, its tone extremely arrogant.

The Unicorn did not bother bickering with the Magic-Eyed Lizard. After all, it also wanted to know Bai Xuan's origin sooner and didn't want to waste words on the Magic-Eyed Lizard. It turned to look at Chen Gu and asked: "Chen Gu, could you tell me the origin of this ferocious beast?"

"His name is Bai Xuan, and he comes from the surface world." Chen Gu knew he couldn't hide it from them and didn't want a fight to break out because of it, so he told the truth.

"The surface world? Hasn't spiritual energy only just recovered there not long ago? How could a Tier 6 peak ferocious beast appear, and now it's even stepping ahead of us to undergo the tribulation?"

The Unicorn looked shocked. It had originally thought it was a beast from another region; it never expected it to be from the surface world, where spiritual energy had only recently recovered!

"Perhaps this is due to talent." Chen Gu gave a bitter smile. He was also shocked that this little guy had already reached the tribulation so quickly. He hoped everything would go smoothly.

"That is truly enviable. He must have some unspeakable secret on him, perhaps even precious treasures. Shall we join forces to kill him and then split the treasures on him?"

The Magic-Eyed Lizard licked its lips, its eyes revealing greed.

"If you dare to make a move on him, I will fight you to the death!"

Chen Gu threatened coldly. He meant what he said; since he had promised to protect him, he would do his duty to the end. Furthermore, this was Chen Gu's territory, which gave him a natural advantage.

"Don't be agitated, I have no such intention," the Unicorn said quickly.

"Exactly, why so agitated? I was just saying. Besides, that is a Tier 7 Beast Monarch lightning tribulation; how could I casually participate in that?"

The Magic-Eyed Lizard pouted. It did have thoughts of attacking Bai Xuan, but at least not now. It would wait for an opportunity. After successfully passing the tribulation, he would inevitably enter a period of weakness. If he failed the tribulation, that would be even better; it could easily obtain those treasures.

"It had better be that way." Chen Gu naturally would not believe the Magic-Eyed Lizard's words and kept his guard up against it at all times. If the other party made any malicious moves, Chen Gu would intervene at the first opportunity.

The Unicorn sighed helplessly and stopped paying attention to them. After all, the Unicorn was aware of the conflicts between them and couldn't be bothered to intervene, nor did it have the qualifications to do so.

"To think that the surface world would have a ferocious beast starting its tribulation so soon. Truly, heroes emerge from the young." Meanwhile, a man wearing a robe embroidered with flame patterns arrived.

This person had regular features and a dignified appearance, with a head of striking fiery red hair. The young man stood with his hands behind his back, barefoot, standing in the void as if it were flat ground.

"We greet Lord Long Yan." Chen Gu, the Unicorn, and the Magic-Eyed Lizard were slightly stunned upon seeing the young man who had suddenly appeared, and then immediately and respectfully spoke.

Lord Long Yan's true form was a Red Dragon with a noble and powerful bloodline. He possessed a terrifying cultivation of Tier 7, Stage 3, and was a beast of the True Dragon Clan in the central region. With such a backer, even without such cultivation, Chen Gu and the others would treat him with respect and not dare to act presumptuously.

Even the usually arrogant and domineering Magic-Eyed Lizard became much more docile at this moment.

"No need for formalities." Lord Long Yan waved his hand gently, replying indifferently, though he did not spare Chen Gu and the others another glance.

The True Dragon Clan had always been arrogant and conceited. It was already quite good that Lord Long Yan had responded at all; Chen Gu and the others would certainly not feel any dissatisfaction.

"This lightning tribulation seems somewhat unusual." Lord Long Yan muttered to himself, pinching his chin.

Chen Gu and the others naturally noticed it too, but they could only tell that the power of the lightning tribulation was greater; they were unaware of any other unusual aspects, and they did not dare to ask Lord Long Yan.

Lord Long Yan had no intention of telling them, either. He continued to pinch his chin, lost in thought, and said nothing.

...

Meanwhile, Bai Xuan was in the midst of the tribulation.

The Ice Emperor Tyrant Body covered his entire body, resisting the endless waves of lightning tribulation.

"So the power of the lightning tribulation is this great." Bai Xuan couldn't help but complain. The feeling of being struck by the lightning tribulation was not pleasant, but there was no helping it; the tribulation had to continue.

The lightning tribulation tempered the physical body; once the promotion was successful, there would be a qualitative leap.

"Holy crap, a big one is coming!" Watching the lightning in the sky continuously brewing and gathering, Bai Xuan couldn't help but exclaim. He immediately activated his strongest defense, trying his best to minimize the damage caused.

However, there was actually no need to worry too much. With the system, he could recover his spiritual energy and stamina at the fastest speed, and Bai Xuan also had enough evolution points to support him through the lightning tribulation.
