806: Chapter 809 Cruel

Qin Xiao followed the crowd and quickly arrived at the periphery of the Lightning Tribulation, watching Iron Madman in the center of the Lightning Tribulation with eyes like torches.

There were many others watching Iron Madman just like him, each with their own hidden agendas, their eyes flickering with an inexplicable light.

This light was very dangerous, just like a venomous snake hidden in the darkness, ready to deliver a fatal strike at any moment.

Under their gaze, Iron Madman displayed terrifying strength; with the Mandate of Heaven upon him, his aura climbed to the extreme, and the sky-filling Lightning Tribulation poured down incessantly, submerging the starry sky.

This scene was truly shocking, enough to leave many people with a memory they would never forget for the rest of their lives.

Swoosh!!

Suddenly, a ray of light shot in from outside the Lightning Tribulation; an arrow streaked over from afar, aiming at Iron Madman in the center of the Lightning Tribulation.

This arrow was astonishing, carrying the Dao of Destruction. With a single shot, it shattered the Void Realm, hurtling toward Iron Madman at the most opportune moment.

"Roar!"

Iron Madman, who was within the Lightning Tribulation, also sensed this attack. He let out a loud roar and threw a punch, stirring up thousands of bolts of lightning.

Bang!

Under the force of his fist, that arrow shattered instantly.

However, the crisis was not resolved. This arrow was like a signal; the experts hidden within the Void Realm, upon seeing this, all launched attacks against Iron Madman from the shadows.

They dared not enter the Lightning Tribulation for fear of being locked onto by it, but they dared to use various methods in the shadows to launch long-range attacks.

Roar!

A terrifying celestial blade carrying endless flames slashed over from the distant Void Realm, with the pattern of a Qilin carved onto the blade.

This was Qilin Emperors Son making his move; that celestial blade was his Lifebound Treasure, which was very iconic.

Dong!

A bell rang out, shaking the Soul, capable of silently extracting the spirits of living beings and causing their minds to tremble.

This was the Soul-Swinging Bell, a weapon forged into something extremely evil and malicious. It was the Magic Treasure of the Old Man Soul-Swinger, a titan of the Demonic Path whose status was comparable to the former Demon Lord. Moreover, he had lived for a very long time and belonged to the older generation.

Besides this, Qin Xiao also sensed the auras of Phoenix Celestial Woman, Ancient Divine Son, and others. They had also made their moves, clearly not intending to let Iron Madman break through successfully, wanting to interfere with him.

There were over thirty such terrifying attacks. Even under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for Iron Madman to withstand them, let alone while having to face the Lightning Tribulation.

In just an instant, Iron Madman encountered a life-and-death crisis.

He let out an angry roar and used all his strength to resist, but it was all in vain. He had not yet become an Emperor, his Dao had not reached Perfection, and coupled with the constant bombardment of the Lightning Tribulation, these attacks ultimately slammed into him.

After these attacks landed, Iron Madman's entire body was blown apart, leaving only a remnant Soul drifting in the air.

"Hahaha! I failed, I ultimately failed. This is truly an era filled with despair, where one cannot see any hope. Hahaha, you will all be the same as me, following in my footsteps!"

Iron Madman, with only a remnant Soul left, laughed wildly. His eyes were clear, yet they forgot their calm, and carried a trace of liberation. At this moment, all his obsessions had dissipated.

There was no more crazy obsession with the Martial Dao!

Rumble!

A bolt of lightning descended, completely submerging his remnant Soul.

With the death of Iron Madman, the Mandate of Heaven that had just gathered dissipated back into the Universe.

He was dead; the first pioneer had indeed died directly, just as expected!

Under such internal and external attacks, no matter how stunning a person was, they would still not be able to withstand it.

But the words Iron Madman spoke before his death caused the gathered heroes to fall silent.

They had dragged Iron Madman into the water today, and one day, others would drag them into the water as well. The tides turn, causing this world to fall into a strange cycle.

But if given the chance to choose again, they would still do the same. The path to becoming an Emperor is paved with many corpses, and no one dares to guarantee that they will be the one laughing at the end.

"The future will definitely be even more chaotic. What a screwed-up world this is—the whole world is your enemy, you have no friends, and everyone hopes you don't attain the Dao. Breaking through the encirclement is too difficult. This Iron Madman is the first, but he will definitely not be the last. The heroes of the future Universe will surely follow in his footsteps, one after another..."

Qin Xiao watched this scene and immediately sighed inwardly. Iron Madman had only been Undergoing Tribulation for such a short time, yet he had already attracted so many powerful enemies to intercept him. If he had been able to hold on until the end, who knows how many more experts would have emerged.

Moreover, the power of this Lightning Tribulation was equally terrifying. One must devote all their mental energy and go all out in Undergoing Tribulation to have a glimmer of survival, but would this group of people around him ever give him a chance?

Rumble!!

From the other end of this Universe, a roaring sound came at this moment. A Lightning Tribulation was also crashing down there, and the terrifying fluctuations traveled across the endless Void Realm to their side, allowing them to clearly sense it.

"What? There is someone else Undergoing Tribulation on the other side? What a cunning scheme! He actually seized this opportunity. Hurry over there; we absolutely cannot let him succeed just like that."

After sensing this Lightning Tribulation, someone's expression changed drastically. The person Undergoing Tribulation this time was on the other end of the Universe, a very far distance from where they were, and it would take time to rush over.

This time gained would certainly play a huge role, allowing the person Undergoing Tribulation to catch their breath and increase their chances of success.

"No need to worry too much. The Great Emperor Tribulation is not that easy to pass. Even without our interference, he might not necessarily succeed."

Others dismissed it with disdain after seeing this scene. Throughout history, countless living beings have died miserably under the Great Emperor Tribulation; people who play such petty tricks are probably not very strong either.

Boom!

As that person had expected, they hadn't even arrived there yet.

The Lightning Tribulation over there stopped; another supreme expert had died directly under this Great Emperor Tribulation.

Although this person held on a bit longer, they were still interfered with and died under the combined assault of the Lightning Tribulation and the human tribulation.

After these two people died, the Universe returned to a period of calm, and no one continued to attempt to undergo the Great Emperor Tribulation.

However, the secret slaughter became more intense. Many people secretly formed alliances to hunt down lone cultivators, causing the Universe to fall into a haze once again.

The number of experts who died under these hunts was far greater than those who died under the Great Emperor Tribulation.

Once these top experts turned into assassins, they became the world's most elite assassins. With sneak attacks and elaborate layouts, they could absolutely unleash terrifying power. When the prepared struck the unprepared, many people simply could not withstand such hunting.
