255: Chapter 255 Is this Heavenly Dao his own?

Above Wanxian Palace in the Wanxian Dynasty.

Space suddenly tore open, and as a dark-robed figure appeared, tribulation clouds densely covered the firmament.

Di Futian, who had been staring fixedly in one direction, turned abruptly. When he saw who had arrived, he was filled with both shock and rage:

"Ling Hao?! You... how dare you come to my Wanxian Palace?!"

Ling Hao hovered beneath the roiling tribulation clouds, his green robes snapping in the high winds.

Facing Di Futian’s questioning, Ling Hao waved his hand, his tone as relaxed as if he were asking if someone had eaten yet:

"Oh? The feng shui here is excellent and the Spiritual Qi is abundant; it is a top-tier choice. I calculated with my fingers and found it to be a precious land for Undergoing Tribulation."

"God... goddamn feng shui precious land!"

Di Futian’s lungs were nearly bursting with rage at this shameless perfunctoriness, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Do I not know whether this is a feng shui treasure land? If it weren't, why would I have established the Wanxian Dynasty here?

But this place has an owner!?? And now... he's coming to Wanxian Palace while carrying a Heavenly Tribulation? Isn't this a blatant provocation?

"As someone in the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, do you not know?! The more experts there are within the range of a Heavenly Tribulation, the stronger the induced tribulation power becomes, and the danger multiplies! If you want to die, then die, but don't drag my Wanxian Dynasty down with you!"

"I know."

Ling Hao nodded, looking as if it were only natural.

"Then you..." Di Futian was choked with anger, pointing at him with trembling fingers.

The corners of Ling Hao's lips curled slightly as he spat out three words.

"I like it."

"You—!" Blood surged in Di Futian's chest, and he wished he could immediately strike and kill this scourge. However, the tribulation clouds above, emitting a terrifying heavenly might, were like a sword hanging over his head, making him hesitate to act! Striking now would be no different from actively inviting the tribulation upon himself.

Below, Wanxian Palace was already in a state of chaos! Countless Cultivators were like startled birds and beasts, screaming in terror as they scattered and fled, wishing they had two more legs.

The Emperor of the Wanxian Dynasty, the old woman Di Hongjing, the beautiful woman in blue Fifth Aunt Ancestor, and the red-armored old man—these high-ranking figures of the Wanxian Dynasty no longer cared about their poise. They flew near Di Futian one after another, looking at him eagerly with eyes full of pleading.

Old Ancestor, let's go! Don't stoop to the level of this madman! As long as the green mountains remain, there's always hope!

Looking at this group of worthless descendants and the mess of the palace below, Di Futian was so frustrated he almost spat blood. The foundation he had painstakingly built had actually become someone else’s tribulation grounds!

Ling Hao looked up at the increasingly solid tribulation clouds at his leisure and kindly reminded him:

"If you don't leave now, it'll really be too late, you know?"

Di Futian glared fiercely at Ling Hao and squeezed out a single word from between his teeth:

"Go!"

With a sweep of his large sleeve, he swept up several panicked Di Family ancestors and a few core members. They transformed into several pathetic streaks of light, fleeing the core area of Wanxian Palace in a panic and landing on a distant mountain peak.

Once their spirits had slightly settled, Di Futian looked around and barked, "Where is Fuling?!"

The several ancestors looked at each other; they had only cared about fleeing for their lives just now, so how could they have looked after anyone else?

An ominous premonition welled up in Di Futian's heart.

"I am here."

A cold voice came from behind. Everyone turned to see that Di Fuling had also quietly appeared on the mountain peak at some point, dressed in elegant palace attire with an indifferent expression.

"Ancestor Ling..."

"Ancestor Ling..."

...

Almost at the same moment Di Futian and the others withdrew, two powerful auras tore through space and appeared on a nearby mountaintop.

A burly man wearing a dark brown animal-skin cloak, his beard bristling with rage, stared intently at the figure in the center of the tribulation clouds and said in a deep voice:

"Good heavens! To have such power while undergoing the Primordial Spirit Tribulation! We all underestimated this Moon Shadow Sect Master!"

The woman wore a crimson-gold phoenix-patterned palace dress, her posture noble and her majestic phoenix eyes filled with solemnity.

"If he can truly pass this tribulation and step into the Late Stage of the Tribulation Transcendence Stage... with his strength combined with ours, the threat of that seventh-level Tribulation Transcendence Stage plus the Loose Immortal from the Wanxian Dynasty will no longer be a concern."

Su Fengyi looked at the calm figure beneath the tribulation clouds, her heart filled with mixed emotions. This 'husband' destined by fate seemed to be far stronger than she had expected.

"No wonder... he dared to make the grand claim of destroying the Wanxian Dynasty within three months."

Boom—Crack—!

Tribulation lightning roared as it fell! Bixi Winds, Netherworld Weak Water, Five Elements Extinction Divine Lightning, Yin-Yang Annihilation Wind, Glazed Purifying Fire...

Ling Hao stood in the center of the storm, the fusheng sword in his hand radiating cold light as he swung it casually. He either invoked the Dao Principle of All Laws Returning to One to calm the Bixi Winds, used Taiyin True Water to freeze the Netherworld River, split the Divine Lightning with Chaotic Sword Light, neutralized the Annihilation Wind with the Yin-Yang Rotation, or absorbed the Glazed Fire with the world-purifying lotus heart...

With every gesture, various exquisite Dao principles and Daoist Magic were used with ease, neutralizing one tribulation after another.

The dissipated power of the tribulation lightning spread in all directions, pouring onto Wanxian Palace.

The dome of Zi Chen Hall, symbolizing the pinnacle of imperial power, was torn apart by the Bixi Winds.

The ancestral temple where previous generations of ancestors were enshrined rapidly became mottled and decayed under the erosion of the Netherworld Weak Water.

The 'Ten Thousand Immortals Paying Homage' mural, which condensed the ingenuity of countless craftsmen, was charred and cracked by the Five Elements Divine Lightning.

The core foundation of the Nine Dragons Spirit-Inducing Array, their pride and joy, was incinerated by the Glazed Purifying Fire.

The once magnificent and grand palace complex continuously collapsed and disintegrated under the majestic heavenly might! The Wanxian Dynasty Cultivators who had escaped in the distance watched with eyes nearly bursting, their hearts filled with towering resentment but utterly powerless!

"Heavens... what... what kind of tribulation is this? The Physical Body Tribulation and the Primordial Spirit Tribulation are descending simultaneously?!"

"Terrifying! I have never seen such a horrific scene! It isn't even recorded in ancient books!"

"This Sect Master of Moon Shadow Sect is a bastard! Once he finishes his tribulation, we must have the Heavenly Ancestor go to him and demand compensation!" several surviving ancestors of the Wanxian Dynasty shouted through gritted teeth, their voices sounding tough but weak inside.

But they failed to see the expressions of their own two ancestors at this moment.

Di Futian and Di Fuling's expressions were extremely solemn. They had once reached the Mahayana stage, so their insight far surpassed others.

Uncertainty and shock flickered in Di Futian's eyes,

"Void Bixi Winds, Netherworld Weak Water... these are all great tribulations from ancient legends! How can the heavenly phenomena of this kid's tribulation be like this?!"

Di Fuling remained silent, but a strange light flashed deep within her eyes.

Zheng Nanxun and Su Fengyi were even more shaken. Although they were in the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, they had never seen such a terrifying composite Heavenly Tribulation. Zheng Nanxun's voice was dry:

"This... this tribulation, any single part of it would be enough to leave us heavily injured or dead! He can actually handle it so easily... undergoing the Primordial Spirit and Physical Body Tribulations together, this... this goes against the common sense of the Heavenly Dao!"

Su Fengyi tightly pursed her red lips, looking at the figure who seemed to be strolling leisurely through the storm of destruction; the shock in her heart was beyond words.

When this wave of Heavenly Tribulation finally subsided and the sky seemed about to clear...

Rumble—!

The tribulation clouds roiled and gathered once more! An aura even more terrifying than before spread out!

Everyone was stunned! Especially those high-level Cultivators; their eyes were nearly popping out of their heads!

"How... how is there more?!"

"This... this is impossible! I've never heard of having to undergo tribulation twice!"

Di Futian, Di Fuling, Zheng Nanxun, and Su Fengyi suddenly recalled the earth-shattering abnormal fluctuation that had come from the direction of the Moonshadow Sect not long ago, and an absurd thought flashed through their minds simultaneously:

"Could it be... could it be that he already underwent a wave at the Moonshadow Sect?! That just now was the second wave?! And now... it's the third wave?!"

Everyone watched as Ling Hao swung his sword again, easily neutralizing this even more powerful wave of tribulation lightning.

But...

The tribulation clouds in the sky still showed no sign of dispersing; instead, they became increasingly deep and terrifying, as if they would never end!

The people of the Wanxian Dynasty were already on the verge of tears. Their Wanxian Palace... had completely turned into a pile of smoking black ruins and rubble!

And they no longer had their previous blustering attitude, because the aura emanating from Ling Hao had already made them feel suffocated. This was even more terrifying than their Heavenly Ancestor, Di Futian, whom they regarded as a god!

When another terrifying Lightning Tribulation fell, Ling Hao habitually swung his sword, but the sword light, which contained majestic Dao principles, was like a stone dropped into the ocean and failed to completely annihilate it! Ling Hao's brow furrowed.

Seeing this, stormy waves rose in the hearts of Di Futian and the others, and a term they didn't even dare think of escaped their lips:

"Cave... Cave-Heaven Tribulation?!"

"F*ck! This Sect Master of Moon Shadow Sect... is he... is he trying to ascend to heaven in a single step from the Tribulation Transcendence Stage and enter the Mahayana stage directly?!"

Zheng Nanxun cried out in shock, his face filled with disbelief.

Di Futian's eyes were filled with fear and a sense of absurdity: "Is this reasonable?! Is there any justice left?! Could it be... that this Heavenly Dao belongs to his family?! He can Breakthrough whenever he wants?!"
