Chapter 150 Attending the Banquet
Deep in the firmament, lightning flashed like an angry Dragon, its roaring sound shattering the stars.
Supreme Ancestral Elder's face turned deathly pale, his eyes filled with shock, and his body trembled involuntarily in the aftermath of the oppressive aura.
He considered himself someone who had seen great storms.
As an Immortal Emperor at the Peak, he had once witnessed an Immortal Emperor Undergoing Tribulation with his own eyes.
But that scene, compared to the world-destroying spectacle before him, was like a splash made by a child.
In the face of this Heavenly Tribulation's aura, he felt as small as dust, liable to be crushed at any moment.
Behind him, several Su Clan Elders looked at each other.
An Elder with white hair and beard took a half-step back; he had cultivated in the Su Clan for thousands of years and had long since stepped into the Immortal Emperor Realm.
Yet at this moment, he felt that his life's hard-cultivated cultivation was nothing but a joke in the face of this Heavenly Tribulation.
The Immortal Domain had been silent for too long.
The Immortal Emperor powerhouses on the surface rarely took action, let alone a Breakthrough that summoned the Heavenly Dao Lightning Tribulation.
The last time an Emperor Tribulation appeared in the Immortal Domain was three thousand years ago.
That Immortal Emperor who was Undergoing Tribulation failed, died, and his Dao dissipated, not even leaving behind a Divine Soul.
Jiang Wanyin stepped forward, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, and after watching for a moment, her pupils constricted slightly.
"This is a Divine Venerable Heavenly Tribulation," Jiang Wanyin said, turning to look at Gu Heng. "Moreover, it is a Breakthrough to Divine Venerable within the Immortal Domain itself. This defies reason."
Ancestor Tushan Yao rubbed his stubbly chin. "Is there something specific about that?"
Jiang Wanyin sighed.
"Generally speaking, Breakthroughs above the God Realm must be conducted in the God Realm. The God Realm's Laws are complete, and the Will of Heaven and Earth can bear the Origin imprint of a God Realm powerhouse. It is like rivers flowing into the sea; only the ocean can contain the power to overturn rivers and seas."
She paused, then pointed at the firmament torn apart by lightning. "But the Immortal Domain... the Heavenly Dao has long been incomplete. Since that battle in the primordial era, the Heaven and Earth Laws of the Immortal Domain have never been restored to completeness. The current Heavenly Dao cannot bear the power of the Divine Venerable level."
"Forcibly breaking through to Divine Venerable in the Immortal Domain will invite the crazy rejection of the Heavenly Dao, bringing down a world-destroying Lightning Tribulation."
"It might even completely crush the Origin of dozens of main domains in that area the moment the Breakthrough happens, turning them into nothingness. This is seeking one's own death. Unless this person is crazy, or..."
"Or what?" Lei Wanjun asked, stunned.
"Or, this person possesses a supreme treasure capable of deceiving the Heavenly Dao and forcibly locking the Karma of this Star Domain."
Jiang Wanyin's gaze was profound, her tone becoming increasingly grave. "But even so, a Breakthrough in the Immortal Domain is extremely rare. Even a slight mistake means Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering. I have seen similar records in the ancient texts of the God Realm. Tens of thousands of years ago, a powerhouse possessing a Primordial Spirit Treasure attempted a Breakthrough in a damaged Small World. As a result, the Spirit Treasure shattered, and he was backlashed by the Heavenly Dao, resulting in Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering."
Everyone gasped.
To forcibly attain the Dao of Divine Venerable in the incomplete Immortal Domain—what kind of courage and means would that require?
Aphro yawned.
She twirled a strand of purple hair around her fingertip a few times.
Her tone was quite disdainful, and a hint of eagerness flashed in her purple eyes.
"Having been cooped up in this Immortal Domain for so long, this Empress was just worrying about having nowhere to stretch her limbs. Since someone is making a scene, this Empress's hands are itching."
She flexed her wrists.
The group of Immortal Emperors and God Lords heard this and nodded repeatedly, looks of eagerness appearing on their faces.
For a moment, Battle Intent permeated this space, and even the air became scorching hot.
"Your Majesty the Empress is right. A mere God Lord who is currently Breaking through to Divine Venerable—what does that count for in front of Master?"
"Exactly. Master can even casually Seal a God Emperor Incarnation, let alone a guy who hasn't even stepped across the threshold of Divine Venerable. As long as Master gives the order, we will go over there and take that guy down right now."
Several God Lords said.
Lei Wanjun also waved his fists, lightning crackling and popping on them.
The ghostly green soul fire in White Bone Demon Emperor's eye sockets flickered.
Ao Lie stepped forward. "Master, this subordinate is willing to be the vanguard; taking advantage of the weak period after their Tribulation, I will extract the Origin of that person Undergoing Tribulation and present it to Master."
For a time, the ruins of the Su Clan's ancestral land were filled with Killing Intent.
The Law fluctuations of a hundred Immortal Emperors erupted simultaneously, and colorful lights of Laws soared into the sky.
Supreme Ancestral Elder listened, cold sweat streaming down his face, his entire being almost stunned senseless.
That was an existence Undergoing the Divine Venerable Tribulation!
Once the Breakthrough was successful, they would be a Divine Venerable powerhouse surpassing the God Lords, absolutely an existence that could act with impunity in the Immortal Domain.
His Su Clan had cultivated for tens of thousands of years, and the strongest in the clan, Patriarch Su Xingchen, was only an Immortal Emperor, already capable of dominating one side in the Immortal Domain.
Let alone God Lords.
And Divine Venerable... that was a legendary Realm.
Yet in the mouths of this group of people, how did it sound like ants on the side of the road that could be crushed at any time?
And...
Supreme Ancestral Elder stole a glance at Gu Heng. The other party was still calm and composed, not even reflecting any emotion in his eyes.
This young man stood there like an eternal mountain; no matter if the sky collapsed or the earth split, he remained unmoved.
Gu Heng watched the anomaly in the firmament that was gradually subsiding but brewing an even stronger storm, and nodded.
"Hmm, quite nice. This anomaly looks quite lively."
Gu Heng withdrew his gaze. "Let's go then."
He took the lead and walked away.
Everyone's expression brightened; they all mustered the Law power within their bodies, and various colors of Law light illuminated the plain as if it were daylight.
Gu Heng looked at the several Su Clan Elders and reached out his hand. "Um... Su Clan Elders, lead the way."
He pointed to a bluestone path ahead.
"Ah?"
The hundred Immortal Emperors, who were ready to have a big fight, all stumbled in unison, nearly falling from mid-air.
An Immortal Emperor's just-condensed Law power instantly dissipated, and his figure swayed several times in mid-air.
The lightning around Lei Wanjun's body, like a snuffed-out candle flame, went out with a puff.
He widened his eyes, mouth agape, looking at Gu Heng with a bewildered expression.
"Ah? Lead the way? Master, what road do you want us to lead?"
Supreme Ancestral Elder also had a forehead full of question marks.
He stammered, "Aren't you going to the center of the Immortal Domain to deal with the person Undergoing Tribulation?"
Gu Heng looked at them with an expression one would use to look at idiots.
"What center of the Immortal Domain?"
Gu Heng rolled his eyes. "This Seat is asking, didn't you just say the banquet was ready? If we aren't going to the banquet, where are we going?"
The entire space fell into silence.
Everyone looked at each other, their faces covered in black lines.
A hundred Immortal Emperors, two God Emperors, one Insect Empress—any one of them pulled out would be an existence that could make the Immortal Domain tremble by stamping their feet—yet at this moment, they collectively fell into silence.
After all that,
they had been here filled with Killing Intent, imagining things for so long, each rubbing their hands and fists ready to take down a quasi-Divine Venerable, their Battle Intent so high it was almost overflowing, only for their Master to just want to go eat?
