Master of Strange Dao

Tribulation clouds have been brewing until now, yet not a single strike has appeared.

Old Emperor Qian can only stand here waiting, watching.

He's contemplating what to do next, as there's a big issue with his heavenly tribulation.

The last time a problem occurred with the heavenly tribulation, the only place he could think of was that someone in the void secretly set a trap for him.

After all, everything in the void has passed through Qingping, and although Qingping is his incarnation, he is ultimately not his true self, and there's still a significant difference.

This time there's another problem with the heavenly tribulation, something he cannot tolerate, cannot accept.

He has been planning for so many years, just to reach the limit and surpass the limit.

His realm strength has long surpassed what should be at the Ninth Tier, and with the additional national fate blessing from the Daqian Divine Dynasty before, calling him the strongest of this era wouldn't be excessive.

But he is not satisfied, because he knows too many things.

When he learned of a more glorious era and the feats of stronger people, he realized being the strongest of this era is utterly useless.

An incomplete world limits him; no matter how hard he tries, he can never achieve the strongest accomplishment ever, so Dadui must return first to complete the entire world.

His focus has long shifted away from the current strongest; he wants to blaze his own trail.

Thus, after reaching the limit, he has never gone all out, as he has already surpassed the stage of needing to display his strength and didn't have this thought at all.

At this moment, however, he sees his planned strongest path gradually drifting farther away, with countless follow-up plans seemingly about to be scrapped.

Failing to reach a hundred points, even if he reaches ninety-nine this time, there will never be a chance to make up for it.

He cannot accept such a thing.

Quite literally, worse than death!

He contemplates how to remedy the situation, how to make the outcome perfect again.

His eyes begin to redden, and the uncontrollable fluctuation of his mood starts to be suppressed again, making him increasingly calm.

He surveys the desolate death zone, which is filled with nothing but cold, and his heart starts turning colder.

He extends his arms, gazes at the twisting black clouds in the sky with his head held high, as fiery orange flames gush from his body.

These are the true flames of the Great Sun, as well as heavenly fire descending from above the sky.

Vast flames burst forth like sluiced water, rushing out, the waves of fire surging downward, falling into the extremely cold forbidden ground.

Within the extremely cold forbidden ground, the most intense extreme cold stream erupts, beginning right at this moment.

The purest Yang energy is being incessantly devoured and absorbed, the sea of flames starts freezing, yet more flames continue to emerge ceaselessly.

Within the frozen world, the two Yang Devils are utterly shocked, but the Yang-Keeping Devil cares not about what's happening; sensing the enormous Fierce Sun Qi, he starts ravenously devouring.

During the devouring, no one is allowed entry.

Meanwhile, outside, Old Emperor Qian with cold, severe eyes, ignores everything, incessantly releasing flames.

Within his pupils, the reflection of this serenely azure sky is seen, indicating the peaceful sky has started fluctuating intensely, resonating with the tribulation clouds, slowly starting to affect them.

This causes the already chaotic tribulation clouds to become even more violent.

The next moment, the heavenly tribulation officially begins.

Heavenly thunder and flames appear, followed by a fierce gale stirring the extreme cold stream.

While mutually opposing each other, they also influence one another.

Heavenly thunder, flames, gang wind, and cold stream continuously collide, with some aspects mutually amplifying, others canceling each other out.

Old Emperor Qian stands tall, enduring with pure strength without any magical treasures.

From this moment, chaotic power begins to spread from the depths of the extremely cold forbidden ground toward more distant places.

Additionally, the wave after wave of impact from Dadui's return intensifies the chaos and disorder.

On the other side of the Hengduan Mountains, Emperor Zhen hovers midair with a sullen expression, observing the various bizarre entities emerging within the Hengduan Mountains, having lost interest in managing them.

Old Emperor Qian has gone mad; crossing tribulation in the extremely cold forbidden ground is one thing.

If it's claimed to be for leveraging the extremely cold forbidden ground to diminish the heavenly tribulation's power, one could reluctantly bear it.

However, now Old Emperor Qian blatantly triggers the force within the extremely cold forbidden ground, ostensibly to strengthen the heavenly tribulation.

The subsequent impacts will inevitably first strike Dazhen.

But that's a matter for later, as currently, Emperor Zhen finds himself helpless.

...

In the midst of endless void, Yu Ziqing stands upon the sacrificial altar, gazing into the distance as the wilderness materializes from illusion to reality.

Of course, this is not because the current world is illusory but because Dadui is still illusory at the moment.

He overlooks the entire map of Dadui, which theoretically encompasses part of Daqian's western territory, including where Silver Lake Forbidden Land was originally located.

Returning directly, simply and forcefully, would cause unimaginable clashes.

Yu Ziqing holds the Great Exchange Imperial Seal in one hand and brushes it lightly, revealing a map of Dadui.

On it, twelve cities form the core, surrounded by the remaining forty-eight cities.

Then there are numerous small cities dotted around like stars.

Yu Ziqing points a finger, and the area under Jiayin City's control transforms into a streak of light, flying out and landing in the massive, ethereal shadow of Dadui territory, at a location nearest Jinlan Mountain.

Then, according to the already planned positions, it's best not to change significantly if possible.

The biggest change is in that small overlapping area with Daqian territory.

Yu Ziqing, however, intends to seize a portion of the territory back while he can, but a significant number of people already inhabit that territory, along with Daqian's national fate obscurely covering it.
