Zhong Qing's Imperial Tribulation

Before Zhong Qing could fully savor the feeling of becoming an Emperor, the sky above suddenly darkened, and a rumble of thunder followed.

Zhong Qing looked up and was immediately stunned.

The Tribulation Clouds, which had clearly dissipated moments ago, had reappeared at some unknown time.

Dark clouds rolled, and lightning surged.

The thousands of Emperors outside, who were immersed in the joy of successfully passing their tribulation, were also startled.

They looked at the Tribulation Clouds in the sky and exchanged glances.

At this moment, the Tribulation Clouds were not strange, but why did they return just after they had finished their tribulation?

Did someone else trigger a Heavenly Tribulation?

No, who is so unsociable? Everyone here is happily undergoing a grand tribulation together, but you want to be special and start your own separate one?

Some people's expressions already turned sour, thinking that perhaps some show-off was trying to get attention and make an impression in front of their Master.

But in the next moment, their expressions changed.

The Tribulation Clouds in the sky expanded wildly at an unprecedented speed.

In just a few breaths, they had already surpassed the scale of the previous tribulation involving thousands of Emperors.

It directly enveloped the entire Spiritual Land, and it still didn't stop, continuing to expand outwards.

It was truly as if the end of the world had arrived; above the firmament, as far as the eye could see, there were endless churning black clouds, and the dazzling lightning that constantly lit up within them.

"Good heavens… Is this a scale that one person can trigger?"

The face of a Three Tribulation Emperor who had just broken through turned a little green.

If it was triggered by one person, the scale was a bit too large.

If it was many people… they hadn't noticed anything.

Most of the Emperors under Master's command were already here; how could there be so many who hadn't undergone tribulation yet?

It was at this moment that Zhong Qing, within Fuyun Courtyard, felt the aura of the Tribulation Clouds and suddenly realized.

The aura of this Tribulation Lightning… it seems to be coming for me.

That unsociable person, it turns out, was me.

Zhong Qing pondered for a moment and understood.

Generally speaking, after breaking through to the Emperor Realm and condensing a Dao Fruit, one needs to accumulate a lot of years of foundation, and only when the Dao Fruit reaches a certain strength can it attract an Emperor Tribulation.

But Zhong Qing… just by looking at how much effort he spent breaking through to the Emperor Realm, you'd know how profound his foundation was.

Zhong Qing's first Emperor Tribulation alone, in an instant, its scale and intensity had already far surpassed that of the previous thousands of Emperors.

The terrifying thunderous fluctuations and boundless aura of annihilation contained within it were even more incomparable.

Not to mention the Spiritual Land, even several areas around the Spiritual Land, almost one-tenth of the entire Second Heaven, were enveloped by these Tribulation Clouds.

This time, let alone ordinary Pseudo-Immortal powerhouses, even Four Tribulation Pseudo-Immortals were filled with fear under the aura of these Tribulation Clouds.

They could all feel that if the torrent of lightning in these Tribulation Clouds were to strike, it could instantly turn them to dust.

Who exactly… or how many people are undergoing tribulation?

Not to mention ordinary forces, such a grand display even alarmed the Yuhua Immortal Sect, which was hundreds of millions of miles away from the Spiritual Land.

This was also the closest of the Four Great Immortal Sects to the Spiritual Land.

On the main peak of the Yuhua Immortal Sect, a middle-aged man with an extraordinary demeanor opened his eyes, his gaze piercing through endless mountains and rivers, looking at the massive churning object in the sky, a hint of surprise appearing in his eyes.

"What a terrifying lightning tribulation… Is this an Emperor Tribulation… or an Immortal Tribulation?"

"Who is it? Does my Second Heaven still have such a figure?"

The old ancestors of the various sects in the Spiritual Land were even more shocked.

They thought the previous one was already powerful enough, but they didn't expect another one so soon?

How many people from your Liuguang Sect are undergoing tribulation? Why are you doing it in batches?

In the dungeon, Ninth Elder Deng Zhong of the Shangqing Immortal Sect felt this aura, and his face grew even uglier.

"No… I can't stay here any longer; I must find a way to escape immediately and report back to the sect!"

However, he was imprisoned here, and with his current strength, it was impossible to forcibly escape.

Thinking of this, Deng Zhong glanced at his body, a hint of ruthlessness appearing in his eyes.

Outside, in Fuyun Courtyard.

Looking at the rolling Tribulation Clouds in the sky, Zhong Qing became interested instead.

He waved his hand, directly retracting the Immortal Shield that was still covering the sky.

After breaking through to the Emperor Realm, he still didn't know how strong he had become.

So, facing the Emperor Tribulation now, he actually wanted to endure it himself and experience it.

According to his understanding, the stronger one's strength, the stronger the Emperor Tribulation would be, which was evident from the boundless Tribulation Clouds before him.

So, his Emperor Tribulation should at least give him a thrill, right?

His action, however, scared the thousands of Emperors outside considerably.

If this lightning tribulation were to fall, they would all be within its scope.

Without the Immortal Shield, how would they withstand it?

So, they weren't struck dead during the tribulation, but after breaking through, they're going to be struck by lightning? There's no way to play like this, right?

What was Master's intention?

The next moment, they saw their Master fly directly from Fuyun Courtyard, ascend into the sky, and, alone, face the boundless Tribulation Clouds!

This scene moved everyone.

Some people had already imagined the reason: "That's right… so many of us underwent tribulation together, yet not a single one of us endured the cleansing of the tribulation lightning; we relied entirely on the immortal artifact to resist."

"Such an act has never happened in the history of the Second Heaven; it might have caused some kind of change in the laws, which is why this even larger Emperor Tribulation Lightning Cloud was born."

"If we continue to use immortal artifacts to resist, perhaps the Heavenly Dao will be enraged and continue to send down calamities!"

"Master has probably seen this point, which is why he withdrew the immortal artifact, intending to directly withstand the tribulation lightning with his own body!"

This idea quickly gained the approval of many people.

Although they had never heard of such an example before, they had also never heard of thousands of people undergoing an Emperor Tribulation together!

For a moment, everyone looked at the figure in the sky, their eyes filled with warmth.

Many of them were not originally willing to become Zhong Qing's disciples; on one hand, it was due to circumstances, and on the other hand, it was because of the immortal artifacts and cultivation techniques.

They were only nominal disciples to begin with.

But now, Master personally stepped forward to defend them against the Emperor Tribulation!

This figure was not tall, but in their hearts, he was immeasurably grand!

Just as everyone was moved to tears, Zhong Qing in the sky, however, looked at the Tribulation Clouds with anticipation.

"Come on! Such a large Tribulation Cloud, it should at least give me some excitement, right?"

Under Zhong Qing's expectant gaze, the churning Tribulation Clouds continuously expanded and converged, and the thunder roared and raged within them.

Then… it just kept roaring and raging.

But it just wouldn't fall.

After waiting for almost an entire stick of incense, the Tribulation Clouds had expanded to an unknown size, and their aura was terrifying beyond description, but the tribulation lightning rolled and rolled inside, yet it just refused to descend.
