429: Chapter 429 Primordial Divine Thunder Tribulation
"It is fine, you should move further away first, lest you be injured by this Emperor's tribulation!" Cao Yang waved his hand indifferently, as if this were not a big deal.
His tone was calm and gentle, without the slightest hint of anger or dissatisfaction. In reality, he did not care much about the presence of the Golden Crow Clan members. After all, his personality was fundamentally different from those in the Immortal Realm.
In the Immortal Realm, many powerhouses were known for being overbearing and aggressive, killing low-Realm Cultivators with a wave of their hand at the slightest displeasure. However, Cao Yang was not like that. Deep in his heart, he possessed a unique tolerance and kindness.
"Many thanks to Emperor Cao for your magnanimity in pardoning my third brother's offense of disrespect!" Upon seeing this, the Golden Crow Clan's First Old Ancestor, Jinwu Ao, hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully thanked Cao Yang.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Originally, he had been worried that Cao Yang would vent his anger on the entire Golden Crow Clan because of his third brother's offensive words. But now it seemed that this existence with unfathomable strength, Cao Yang, was actually so easy to talk to; not only did he not punish the Golden Crow Clan, but he was even so lenient regarding the punishment for his third brother.
Jinwu Ao could not help but feel grateful towards Cao Yang, while also admiring his tolerance and magnanimity.
For those at the top of the Chaos, they usually possessed supreme majesty, a majesty that absolutely could not be easily offended by others.
Especially when someone with low strength dared to offend a powerhouse, the consequences faced were often very severe. The light cases might involve having one's entire cultivation base crippled, reduced to an ordinary person from then on; heavy cases might involve being directly exiled to the Void Realm, losing freedom forever; even worse, one might be killed casually by the powerhouse in a single thought, unable to even preserve one's life.
However, it is worth mentioning that the Golden Crow Clan had shown a friendly attitude towards Cao Yang from the very beginning.
Over the past few months, Cao Yang had not only gained numerous goddesses from the Golden Crow Clan as his Dao Companions, but his relationship with the Golden Crow Clan had also become increasingly close. Precisely because of this, when Jinwu Ao and the other Golden Crow Old Ancestors saw Cao Yang being so tolerant towards those who offended him, they could somewhat understand Cao Yang's magnanimity.
After the nine Old Ancestors of the Golden Crow Clan had gradually moved away, Cao Yang returned to the original place with Jinwu Ji, continuing to focus on breaking through his Realm.
After all, he knew well that his process of Undergoing Tribulation might trigger huge energy fluctuations; if he were too close to the Golden Crow Clan, he feared it would cause unnecessary impact on them.
Cao Yang's aura was like surging waves, constantly surging and strengthening. The layer of chaotic space-time turbulence around him also seemed to be pushed by an invisible force, continuously expanding outward.
Time flew by, and five days passed in a flash.
Cao Yang suddenly realized that due to the strengthening of his aura, the chaotic space-time turbulence that was originally restricted to a certain range was now about to reach the inhabited areas within the Golden Crow Great World.
Although the Golden Crow Great World was vast and boundless, except for Jinwu City which possessed a powerful Transcendence-level Formation for protection, other regions did not have such protective Formations. And these places happened to be where many Golden Crow Clan Cultivators lived and Cultivated.
Although these Golden Crow Clan Cultivators had decent strength, they would likely be unable to withstand the chaotic space-time turbulence triggered by Cao Yang's Breakthrough. Even just the aftermath could be fatal for these ordinary Chaos Realm Cultivators.
Cao Yang sighed inwardly; he did not want to bring disaster to the Golden Crow Great World because of his Breakthrough.
However, things had reached this point, and he had no other choice. After careful consideration, Cao Yang decided to take Jinwu Ji and leave the Golden Crow Great World to go into the true Chaos to complete his Transcendence Realm Breakthrough.
Sure enough, the stability of space-time truly situated within the Chaos was far beyond comparison to the Golden Crow Great World.
Here, although Cao Yang's Breakthrough aura also triggered the shattering of space-time, it did not lead to the Formation of chaotic space-time turbulence as it did in the Golden Crow Great World.
However, as time passed, Cao Yang's aura continued to strengthen exponentially.
In just five short days, a layer of chaotic space-time shattering appeared outside his Invincible Domain once again. However, unlike the situation previously in the Golden Crow Great World, the scale of this chaotic space-time shattering layer was relatively smaller.
Finally, when the Breakthrough entered the twelfth day, Cao Yang's Breakthrough aura stopped increasing further. At this point, his strength had already reached the Transcendence Realm, just one step away from the final Undergoing Tribulation.
Just at this moment, a heaven-shaking roar suddenly came from within the Chaos, as if the entire Chaos were trembling because of it.
Immediately after, one after another, Chaos Lightning Tribulations streaked across the endless Chaos Void like meteors, striking directly towards the direction where Cao Yang was located.
Each Chaos Lightning Tribulation was so powerful that it was jaw-dropping, its might sufficient to illuminate a corner of the Chaos. Such intensity was something even Cao Yang was seeing for the first time in his life.
One must know that the vastness of the Chaos was simply beyond imagination. Even though Cao Yang had now reached the Transcendence Realm, the range his Divine Sense could cover was merely one ten-thousandth of the entire Chaos region.
"Yang, this Chaos Lightning Tribulation is so terrifying!" Jinwu Ji looked at the surging Chaos Lightning Tribulation like raging waves with a face full of terror, her voice trembling slightly. Her small hand gripped Cao Yang's large hand tightly, as if only in this way could she slightly alleviate the fear in her heart.
Cao Yang felt Jinwu Ji's nervousness and hurriedly comforted her: "Do not be afraid. Although this Chaos Lightning Tribulation is powerful, I have the Invincible Domain; it absolutely cannot harm us in the slightest." His tone was firm and confident, making one feel at ease.
After hearing Cao Yang's words, Jinwu Ji felt slightly relieved in her heart and nodded. However, when she saw those tens of thousands of Chaos Lightning Tribulations smashing towards Cao Yang's Invincible Domain like meteors, she still could not help but break into a cold sweat for him.
However, a shocking scene occurred. That seemingly indestructible Chaos Lightning Tribulation, after entering Cao Yang's Invincible Domain, was like a clay ox entering the sea, instantly disappearing without a trace.
Jinwu Ji widened her eyes, watching all of this in disbelief. She knew that Cao Yang's Invincible Domain was very strong, but she had not expected it to be powerful to such an extent, being able to so easily erase even the Chaos Lightning Tribulation.
"Yang, your Invincible Domain is truly too powerful!" Jinwu Ji exclaimed, having gained a new understanding of Cao Yang's strength. At this moment, the worry in her heart had completely dissipated, replaced by trust and admiration for Cao Yang.
"It is not the first time you have seen my strength. You must trust your Dao Companion. With me here, even if one day we walk out of the Chaos and go beyond the Chaos, with me here, no one will be able to harm you!" Cao Yang's voice was full of confidence and dominance, as if he were the Dominator of this Chaos World.
Jinwu Ji looked at Cao Yang, a trace of admiration and reliance flowing in her eyes. She nodded gently, expressing her belief in Cao Yang's ability.
"Mm! Yang, you are too powerful, too mysterious." There was a trace of exclamation in Jinwu Ji's voice, and she felt incomparably admiring of Cao Yang's strength.
Cao Yang smiled slightly. He knew that Jinwu Ji's admiration for him was not just because of his strength, but more because of the feelings between them. He gently pulled Jinwu Ji into his embrace, feeling her warmth.
However, Cao Yang did not immerse himself in this warm moment; his attention was quickly drawn by the Chaos Lightning Tribulation outside the Invincible Domain.
At present, Cao Yang's Divine Sense had greatly improved, expanding more than ten thousand times compared to before. Through his powerful Divine Sense, he could clearly see every detail of the Chaos Lightning Tribulation.
These Chaos Lightning Tribulations were numerous, numbering in the tens of thousands, and each Chaos Lightning Tribulation contained astonishing power. According to Cao Yang's estimation, the power of each Chaos Lightning Tribulation was equivalent to about a hundred times the full-force strike of a Chaos Emperor Realm powerhouse, which was already a very terrifying power.
It is imaginable that even an Advanced Chaos Emperor Realm powerhouse, if caught within these Chaos Lightning Tribulations, would instantly suffer heavy injuries. If they could not escape in time within three breaths, they would definitely be killed by the Chaos Lightning Tribulation, with absolutely no possibility of survival.
However, what made Cao Yang feel very surprised was that these incredibly fierce Chaos Lightning Tribulation streams actually caused no harm whatsoever to the Chaos creatures wherever they passed. Those Chaos creatures merely watched with faces full of astonishment as the Chaos Lightning Tribulation streaked past them or beside them like lightning, as if they did not exist at all.
For those Chaos creatures with higher Realms, they could vaguely perceive that something had streaked past, or barely see a blurred shadow. But for those creatures at the Chaos Realm, they could only feel a trace of abnormality before the Chaos Lightning Tribulation had already flashed past like a meteor, instantly disappearing from within their Divine Sense range.
Judging from the phenomenon that these Chaos Lightning Tribulations intentionally avoided Chaos creatures, or directly caused no harm to Chaos creatures, it was clear that this powerful Chaos Lightning Tribulation was specifically sent down by the chaos consciousness. And it was precisely because of this that it could so consciously protect the Chaos creatures within its Chaos World.
Just like this, countless Chaos Lightning Tribulations continuously bombarded Cao Yang, and after five full days and nights, these powerful Chaos Lightning Tribulations finally slowly dissipated, as if their mission had been completed.
However, although these Chaos Lightning Tribulations had already disappeared without a trace, Cao Yang could clearly feel that his strength Lightning Tribulation did not seem to have completely ended.
Sure enough, only one day later, a new round of Lightning Tribulation descended once again like a storm.
Above the Chaos World where Cao Yang and Jinwu Ji were located, a jaw-dropping scene suddenly appeared—a huge, incomparably large Chaos hole. Its scale was so large that it was simply beyond imagination, and it was impossible to describe its size accurately with words. This Chaos hole was like a huge circle that had been forcibly dug out of the sky, leaving behind a piece of endless darkness and Void Realm.
Cao Yang and Jinwu Ji looked up in astonishment, gazing at this huge Chaos hole that was close at hand yet seemed unreachable, their hearts filled with shock and disbelief. They felt as if they were standing on the edge of the Chaos Universe, facing an unfathomable black hole, yet this black hole was right before their eyes, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
Cao Yang was convinced that within this Chaos, all creatures with a Realm reaching above the Chaos Realm must have already witnessed this sudden, huge Chaos hole.
Because wherever his Divine Sense reached, all the Chaos creatures were just like him, looking at the big hole in the Chaos sky with faces full of astonishment, as if stunned by this shocking scene.
On the faces of these Chaos creatures, besides surprise and curiosity, there was also a trace of unease and fear.
After all, such a huge, unprecedented Chaos hole was a completely unknown existence to them. And the unknown often brings fear, especially when this unknown is so shocking to the heart, fear will spread in people's hearts.
Cao Yang could fully understand the fear and unease in the eyes of these Chaos creatures. After all, when facing unknown things, the instinctive reaction of humans or other creatures is often fear and retreat. And this huge Chaos hole was like a mystery from the depths of the mysterious Chaos Universe, making people both curious and afraid.
Not long after, in the Chaos hole above the heads of Cao Yang and his companion, wisps of purple-gold cloud-like substances began to slowly emerge.
These purple-gold cloud-like substances, like smoke, rose in curls. They rolled and entwined in the Chaos hole, as if weaving some kind of mysterious pattern.
As time passed, these purple-gold clouds gradually became dense. Suddenly, a dazzling purple-gold lightning streaked through the clouds, like a sharp sword tearing through the darkness, instantly illuminating the entire Chaos hole.
This purple-gold lightning was exceptionally violent, raging and shuttling through the clouds, emitting bursts of roaring sounds, as if the entire Chaos World were about to be torn apart by it. Moreover, this purple-gold lightning did not seem satisfied with just flashing past; it continuously shuttled and intertwined in the clouds, forming a sea of purple-gold lightning.
The purple-gold divine lightning in this sea of lightning, each one contained endless might; they collided and intertwined with each other, erupting in bursts of heaven-shaking loud noises. The entire Chaos hole was shrouded by this sea of purple-gold lightning, looking just like the arrival of doomsday.
Cao Yang gazed at this sea of purple-gold lightning, his heart filled with doubt and unease. He could not help but ask the System: "System, what exactly is this? Why do I feel that they do not seem to be things from the Chaos?"
The reason Cao Yang had such a question was because he could not feel the aura of Chaos at all in these purple-gold tribulation clouds and lightning. On the contrary, these purple-gold tribulation clouds and lightning were filled with a strange aura that he had never come into contact with before.
Cao Yang was not uneasy for himself, but for other creatures in the Chaos. If this purple-gold divine lightning were to descend, Cao Yang could feel that it would cause a destructive disaster for the creatures in the Chaos, and he did not know if the chaos consciousness would take action to protect the Chaos creatures.
The System's voice sounded in Cao Yang's mind: "Replying to Master, this is the Grandmist tribulation cloud and Grandmist divine lightning from the Hongmeng Region. Although they are only the weakest Grandmist divine lightning in the Hongmeng Region, Master, you still need to deal with them carefully."
