28: The Tribulation of the Supreme Being, Merging with the Dao Intent!

"If it really is related to the internal strife in the Qilin Ancient Realm a thousand years ago, then things might get troublesome."

Old Man Han thought for a moment and prepared to investigate the background of this little Qilin.

After all, the Kirin Clan is very complex, and if he were carelessly dragged in, even he, a Supreme, would have to be careful.

With a thought, a hundred-zhang ancient tree in the Secret Realm Small World uprooted itself, transformed into a human shape, and arrived before him.

Then he reached out and tapped, a streak of spiritual light merging into the Human-Shaped Treant's glabella, instantly making its somewhat hollow eyes become lively.

Having gained intelligence and understood its mission, the Human-Shaped Treant bowed and left this world.

The Ye Family Protector, standing nearby, was even more astonished after witnessing the entire scene.

"To be able to create life and bestow intelligence so easily, Old Man Han's strength must be at least above the Seventh Heaven of the Supreme Realm!"

This was already the Supreme Realm Late Stage.

Even the Old Ancestor of their Ye Family, who Sealed in Slumber, was only at the Supreme Realm Late Stage.

"To Cultivate to above the Seventh Heaven of the Supreme Realm in just over ten thousand years, this level of talent is truly terrifying. He can probably pass the Supreme Tribulation easily, no wonder he doesn't need to seal himself within Divine Source."

In his heart, the Ye Family Protector had already listed Old Man Han as a forbidden existence not to be provoked.

One must know that as a Cultivator's strength increases, their Lifespan also continuously grows.

Those in the Three Profound Realm can live from eight hundred to three thousand years;

Those in the Three Dao Realm can live from five thousand to ten thousand years;

Those in the Three Saint Realm can live from fifteen thousand to one hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred years.

And upon reaching the Supreme Realm, one virtually possesses endless Lifespan, existing in Harmony with the Sun and Moon, and Sharing Longevity of Heaven and Earth!

But this was simply too Heaven-Defying, so Heavenly Dao cast down Shackles, causing Cultivators to face a Supreme Tribulation every thousand years after becoming a Supreme, and the power of the tribulation would only grow stronger.

Many Supremes did not die by the hands of their enemies, but Perished under the Supreme Tribulation.

It wasn't until a Genius Formation Master researched the Heaven-Deceiving Formation Markings that the method of using Divine Source to Seal in Slumber and evade the Supreme Tribulation was pioneered.

Currently, nearly ninety percent of all Supremes in the world are Sealed in Slumber within Divine Source.

Only Cultivators who have just become Supreme, or Prodigy Supremes like Old Man Han whose combat power far exceeds their peers, can freely travel through the Various Worlds!

Of course, there are also some Stubborn Supremes who wish to forcefully resist the Supreme Tribulation, using it to Temper themselves and Break through their strength, but most ended up miserably... Leaving aside Old Man Han's investigation and the Ye Family Protector's shock.

Right now, Gu Qingchen truly and genuinely felt a massive pressure, overwhelming him completely.

In just an instant, he felt the World Turn Upside Down.

The endless Earth Qi erupted, spreading rapidly with the Earth Qilin at the center, Changing the Heavens and Earth in a short time.

Gu Qingchen felt completely isolated, as if he were in another piece of heaven and earth.

In this Realm, everything was extremely repulsive towards him and filled with Malice!

"What a powerful Divine Ability!"

Gu Qingchen was enveloped in Divine Light, struggling to resist the suppression of this Barrier World.

At this moment, he felt like a fish out of water, or an ordinary person who had suddenly fallen into a Cosmic Storm—not only completely unable to breathe but also having to endure the scorching of the sun or the ravages of Cosmic Rays.

Right now, it was even difficult for him to stabilize his body.

Seeing Gu Qingchen still putting up a desperate struggle, the Earth Qilin snorted in dissatisfaction: "Today, I, Huang Liner, will ruthlessly suppress you! Behold my Huangtian Bell!"

The next moment, endless Earth Qi gathered into a massive bell, pressing down upon Gu Qingchen.

"Houtu Cauldron, attack!"

Immediately, another massive cauldron manifested and struck upwards from below.

Even though Gu Qingchen's combat power was Heaven-Defying, at this moment he had no choice but to Summon the great heart demon bell to seek self-preservation.

After all, the Realm difference between him and this Qilin was too great.

Although he possessed the ability to Fight Across Realms, this Qilin was also a Prodigy with astonishing combat power.

"Although the Grade of this great heart demon bell is high, it is ultimately not a Defensive Supreme Treasure. Resisting with it is quite difficult. It seems I must seek a Defensive Supreme Treasure after this trip to the Underground Cave."

This was the first time Gu Qingchen had encountered such a formidable enemy, and he finally realized the importance of a Defensive Supreme Treasure.

He wasn't lacking in Life-Saving Trump Cards.

However, those life-saving trump cards were too high-grade, and most were one-time use cards; using them here would be too wasteful.

"Not bad!"

At this moment, Huang Liner spoke: "I didn't expect you, a Human Race member, to be able to hold on for so long. Even if you relied on the power of a Supreme Treasure, you have earned my recognition."

"Haha."

Gu Qingchen laughed upon hearing this: "We're just getting started.

If I want to, I can keep going indefinitely, and even suppress you in turn!"

Huang Liner was Furious upon hearing this.

"Stop your Shouting! Watch how I suppress you."

The endless Earth Qi Rioted, crashing down like a surging Ocean, wave after wave, seemingly without end.

Gu Qingchen, protected by the Ancient Bell, was like a Lone Boat in an endless Tsunami at this moment, seemingly in danger of capsizing at any time, yet remaining steadfast.

He was using the Reincarnation Heavenly Eye to observe the Mysteries of this Peerless Divine Ability, attempting to Evolve it using the Myriad Transformation Sacred Art.

But even with his Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability, analyzing it was quite difficult. After all, this was Huang Liner's Innate Divine Ability, born of Heaven and Earth's Creation, and not easy to Replicate.

"Should I take out the myriad dao treasure tree and see if I can borrow its Dao Rhyme to help me Comprehend the Divine Ability?"

Gu Qingchen suddenly Had an Inspiration and immediately took out the myriad dao treasure tree.

Seeing this scene, Huang Liner thought this Human Race member was deliberately trying to anger her, making her Grit Her Teeth in annoyance.

She let out a Long Roar, and layers of divine light appeared behind her head, encircling her ring after ring, truly making her look like a Sacred Beast descending, bringing Auspicious Signs to the world.

This was the manifestation of Pushing the Divine Ability to its Extreme.

The next moment, above the Huang Tian Houtu Great Barrier, endless Earth Qi gathered and surged, forming magnificent Immortal Palaces amidst the haze!

Teams of Heavenly Soldiers manifested within the Immortal Palaces, charging towards Gu Qingchen.

Below the barrier, layers of Underworld Palaces also manifested, and countless Underworld Soldiers surged out like a tide.

Huangtian Heavenly Soldiers!

Houtu Underworld Soldiers!

This was the Ultimate Killing Move of the Huang Tian Houtu Great Barrier!

"This little Qilin is incredible!"

Old Man Han, who was observing, was somewhat surprised.

Even he hadn't expected that Huang Liner could comprehend the Dao Intent of Yin and Yang, Life and Death, and Creation while still in the Dao Profound Realm, and perfectly Fuse it with the Dao Intent of Earth into her innate Divine Ability, Evolving variations like the Huangtian Heavenly Soldiers and Houtu Underworld Soldiers.

This kind of talent, even within the Kirin Clan, is definitely a Prodigy who suppresses her peers—even the contemporary Kirin Imperial Son is inferior to her!

..."So that's how it is."

Inside the demon bell, Gu Qingchen shone with brilliant Divine Light.

The moment the Heavenly Soldiers and Underworld Soldiers submerged the entire demon bell, his Aura rapidly surged, and he instantly Broke through to the Sixth Heaven of the Profound Grotto Realm.

Before Huang Liner could react, his strength continued to surge, and he Broke through again to the Seventh Heaven of the Profound Grotto Realm.

At the same time, threads of Dao Intent began to appear: Yin and Yang, Life and Death, Creation, and the Five Elements!

The next moment, Gu Qingchen stood up: "Next, it's my turn!"
