Master of Strange Dao

The efficacy is one thing, but whether it works or not is another.

Not long after, Chu Ye left, and Dean Nong arrived again.

"Will waiting for that kid be useful?"

"Yes, useful for disgusting the Heavenly Tribulation."

"..." Dean Nong left with a dark face, unwilling to continue the conversation. After all, his main task here was to study the Spirit Plant.

When Yu Ziqing arrived at the sealed Big Island and contacted Yang, they removed the secret chamber's Big Array, and the entire Big Island returned to its original state.

In the next moment, the never-forming tribulation clouds rapidly took shape.

"Sister-in-law, that's enough, hurry and dodge away, don't get caught in it."

Yu Ziqing shouted a reminder in the rain.

They had helped him as much as they could, and there was no need to continue beyond this limit.

His sister-in-law retreated, and the tribulation clouds gathered even faster.

Throughout the Southern Sea, the wind and rain rapidly dissipated, all power converging toward the Big Island, within a radius of ten thousand miles.

Dark clouds pressed down from above, obscuring the sky, casting the world into profound darkness.

The pitch-black tribulation clouds rotated counterclockwise, absorbing power.

Dazzling Thunder Light churned within the clouds, nurturing a force of pure destruction.

The target of this destruction was the portal of the Big Island's Grotto Heaven.

If it couldn't destroy the Grotto Heaven, it aimed to shatter the portal, severing the island from the world and casting it into the Void.

Yu Ziqing flew towards the tribulation clouds, and the next moment, the churning Thunder Light whipped down like a steel whip, striking Yu Ziqing and knocking him down, crashing onto the Big Island with a boom.

Yu Ziqing lay in the crater, his body charred black, cracked like ice on porcelain, seemingly about to shatter at any moment.

He swallowed a Healing Pill concocted by Yang, recovering quickly, his charred fragments falling off, eyes gleaming as he looked up at the tribulation clouds.

He felt it, a sensation absent in previous tribulations he had encountered.

It was an intention of pure destruction.

"This is truly... wonderful."

Yu Ziqing grinned, his expression gradually distorting.

He had feared for a long time that he would no longer be able to touch the Heavenly Tribulation.

It wasn't just about not being able to scrape by on tribulations; after reaching the Ninth Tier, one needed their own Heavenly Tribulation.

It's a form of test, a necessary external force for transformation.

The absence of a Heavenly Tribulation might initially seem beneficial, but it could mean being trapped at the Ninth Tier for a lifetime, unable to complete the essential transformation.

Now, there was a tribulation he could touch.

As long as he wasn't instantly killed, everything could be managed.

Yang was just about to speak, but saw Yu Ziqing emerging from the crater, eerily unscathed, looking bizarrely excited.

He remained silent, signaling to the other deans not to interfere, and everyone proceeded to complete the final step of the Spirit Transformation Array.

Underneath the highest peak of the Big Island, the array was almost set, only awaiting activation.

A group of deans stood at four corners, either adding the final piece of material, the final stroke of a rune, or connecting the last thread of a Daoist Pattern.

Once completed and activated together, spirit light began to flow through the array.

From the tribulation clouds in the sky came a sudden thunderclap, like a roar filled with destructive fury.

Yu Ziqing flew into the sky again.

This time, Yu Ziqing took out a pendant he had treasured for a long time, obtained in Dadui, never having had the right opportunity to use it, keeping it only as a means of explosive power.

Now was finally the right time. By smashing the Storage Bag, his aura suddenly erupted, soaring directly to the peak of the Ninth Tier.

Withstanding a blow from a Thunder Whip, he charged into the tribulation clouds.

Inside was chaos and destructive power, which threatened to engulf Yu Ziqing, trying to obliterate him.

Yu Ziqing braced himself, quietly sensing.

He was now absolutely certain; this tribulation cloud was not a normal Heavenly Tribulation.

The pure destructive intention wasn't his imagination, only a conscious existence could produce such an intention.

Yu Ziqing consumed pills continuously, enduring, advancing deeper by cutting through obstacles.

After consuming over ten pills, nearly triggering Blood Rebirth on the spot, he infiltrated to the deepest part of the tribulation clouds, where the destructive intention contained an undeniable malice.

That malice was fostering the creation of destructive power.

There was someone, or something, capable of controlling the Heavenly Tribulation.

After all, for the Spirit Transformation Array which was highly beneficial to the world, such a Destruction Heavenly Tribulation would be impossible.

The moment Yu Ziqing realized this thought.

A tearing sensation instantly surfaced in Yu Ziqing's mind.

The surroundings compressed and engulfed him, as if the enraged tribulation clouds trying to obliterate him began to slowly avoid his position.

The familiar feeling of being deemed insignificant reappeared.

Wherever Yu Ziqing went, the tribulation clouds would retreat, leaving ample space, avoiding contact with him.

After sneaking around a bit, he saw a distinct dividing line. On one side, he was deemed insignificant, while on the other, malice and destructive tribulation clouds persisted.

Yet those tribulation clouds showed no sign of retreat.

Yu Ziqing landed out of the tribulation clouds, looking from outside, finally seeing the full picture.

The enormous black tribulation clouds, stretching for miles, seemed split in half.

The powers on both sides did not fall to the ground but tangled and obliterated each other.

Landing on the ground, the deans were shocked, staring at Yu Ziqing, then looking up at the strange tribulation clouds in the sky.

They were experienced but had never seen such a situation before.

The tribulation clouds split themselves and started fighting each other.

Yu Ziqing looked serious, gazing up at the sky.

He felt a chill down his spine, wondering who or what force was capable of controlling even the Heavenly Tribulation?

If he hadn't been exploiting the Heavenly Tribulation to an extreme extent, that he was practically dismissed by it, he wouldn't have suspected anything wrong.

Even if it appeared when it shouldn't, he would only wonder if something went wrong with the Big Island's research.
