Chapter 1031: Who is this man?
The Immortal Sun Emperor’s Tribulation had finally arrived.
The sky which was brightly shining with sunlight, even though the sky in the Blood Sea had turned crimson for a reason, it wouldn’t be the same as this moment in which the sky had completely changed. Now it was completely dark with only the tribulation lightning and the unknown palace above the tribulation clouds made up the sky. What is even more terrifying is that the male figure of the huge man that covers the sky with his face covered in dark clouds and only a pair of crimson eyes were peering down on the Immortal Sun Emperor.
This man and his crimson eyes was something no one had expected. But under this gaze despite not being the target, can feel the pressure of this aura. Only Yue Xuexia was unmoved and can still raise her head to meet the eyes as well. She wanted to make a move but her arms were suddenly grabbed by Yue Xuehua.
She then whispers, "Don’t move. This is his tribulation. You cannot get involved."
The second moon princess, Yue Xuehua can hardly move herself. Thankfully she was only a few steps away from where the Moon Goddess is and was able to stop her on time. The pressure on her body was something she only felt when their father or grandfather had spread their aura when pressuring some ministers who offend the royal family. But compared to the controlled aura of those in their family, the pressure that fell on them was pure suppression.
The Moon Goddess halted her movements when she heard what her sister had just said. Though she felt that the owner of these eyes felt familiar, she couldn’t remember where. She kept on staring at those eyes until it seemed to notice her as well. When the eyes averted from Shen Jueyang, he noticed that it seemed to be looking at someone else from behind him. He immediately felt dread as he realized something that made his heart tremble, he had a bad feeling that this thing once it stared at Yue Xuexia, something beyond his control would happen.
He pulled his sword and summoned the nine sun under his command. Without hesitation, he had used his third stage sword intent and let a dharma of himself to appear. Holding the black sword that can slay even the gods, he slashed it towards the man peering above him. This one slash was enough to make the man who was peering on them to look back at him. The man nonchalantly glanced at the Immortal Sun Emperor and lightly waved his hand. This generally blocked the sword slash and crushed the nine suns but it also severed the man’s hand.
The Immortal Sun Emperor wipes the blood strolling down his lips and glares at the man who was staring at his missing hand. Suddenly, it narrowed its eyes dangerously as it looked down on Shen Jueyang. Before Shen Jueyang could make a move something too fast had happened. Its other hand was about to smash Shen Jueyang when suddenly a huge silver lotus appeared before the Immortal Sun Emperor and blocked it. This silver lotus wasn’t enough and the Primordial qi Yue Xuexia had left in Shen Jueyang and immediately activated. The Moon Goddess dharma as the Primordial Lightning Goddess had appeared and pushed away the man who stood behind the palace.
This clash had caused the blood sea to be sliced into half as the Moon Goddess sword intent had exploded. Before the silver lotus completely shatters, the large man with crimson eyes grasps at the silver lotus. As if everything in the words had suddenly stopped, only the man who held the silver lotus sword intent was able to move. It took away the silver lotus and glance at the direction where the Moon Goddess is standing up looking at him.
For some unknown reason everyone felt like this man was smiling. With wave of his hands the gate of the palace in front of him had open then they heard the man’s voice echoing in the area saying,
{Minimum requirement had been reached. The Palace to the Great Dao has been opened. Kill as much Tribulation beings within an incense stick duration. Failure to survive within the given period of time is death. The others are not allowed to help.}
Once these words were spoken a lightning dome enclosed the Immortal Sun Emperor together with a palace now pouring dao beings filled with all kinds of elements and pure dao runes. It was alive yet not completely a living being. All these beings knew was to utilize the power that was within them and kill the trial taker before them. Right now Shen Jueyang’s trial was to survive within the given period of time and kill as much as he can. These beings were just things born from all kinds of dao and its existence was pure itself. As long as Shen Jueyang kills one he can absorb this dao for his body to completely be promoted to a divine physique which is more powerful than the special physique people of this world knows about.
Under everyone’s eyes, the silhouette of that powerful being left taking away the sword intent, lotus form, Yue Xuexia had released just now. For some unknown reason it seems to be completely satisfied with it. Now Shen Jueyang is in his predicament, countless things have flown out from the opened gates of the tribulation palace.
Shen Jueyang within the dome remained calm while holding his sword. He didn’t make a move until that figure of the man had completely disappeared. It was unknown if the man’s actions just now were truly just a test or he wanted to kill him. All the Immortal Sun Emperor wanted to do is to know who that man was and wanted to kill him himself.
His real tribulation had finally arrived. Besieged by hundreds, thousands of tribulation beast of varying forms and sizes, the Immortal Sun Emperor had to move around within the dome. His actions were to kill what is within his reach and to fly around avoiding fatal injuries while waiting for one incense time to be over. Only then would it be considered that he had survived his trial.
Everyone else can only watch while surrounding the dome that is sealed in the Immortal Emperor. There are those who openly watch as they witness the Immortal Emperor wielding the dao of the sun, with mastery that is almost perfect. Those who were a few stages away from the Emperor realm watched this scene as an opportunity that would allow them to reach the Emperor realm.
"How is he surviving under the attacks of so many opponents!?" Second Moon Prince, Yue Wuya asked.
The Immortal Thunder Emperor said to his nephew, "If you wanted to know why stop asking and instead watch then learn! He is already showing you the path. Why are you still wasting your time?!"
"But I truly do not understand," murmured Yue Wuya. Not a smart cookie from the Yue family, he is more gifted with things that come from his physical talents.
Beside the second moon prince, he saw his elder brother watching intently while mumbling things he almost couldn’t understand, before he could reach out to call upon his elder brother’s attention, his uncle stopped him for a second time. But this time, he was dragged away by the Immortal Thunder Emperor and everyone else had also kept their distance from the Crown Prince of the Everlasting Moon Empire.
A sudden surge of qi came from Yue Leiya and as if he had achieved some enlightenment, his cultivation realm had shot up, finally reaching the Quasi-emperor realm strength.
Yue Xuehua commented, "Dage had broken through?"
"No. But he had reached the Quasi-Emperor realm. As long as he keeps watching, he might also gain enough insight to break through the Emperor Realm," said Yue Xuexia. "Let’s not disturb Dage."
Everyone gave a space to the crown prince and focused on his meditation while the rest of them continued to watch the battle of the Immortal Sun Emperor inside the dome. No one feels that the Immortal Sun Emperor is going to lose this deadly trial, his strength in fighting this kind of battle is that everyone knows it too well. They are more worried that those who are lurking in the shadows will suddenly come out and cause chaos that might affect the Immortal Sun Emperor who was focusing on his trial.
Yue Xuehua stood beside the Moon Goddess. She didn’t expose her just now but as soon as she saw that Lotus shaped Sword Intent, she knew that it was Yue Xuexia. That silhouette was not an ordinary one. For the silver lotus to fully blocked that one attack for that powerful being, the backlash on Yue Xuexia’s body must be heavy but for some reason after seeing the silver lotus, this unknown man stop the time itself and reverse the damage. It was unknown if a lingering damage was left behind on the Moon Goddess after the time was reversed by this man.
She couldn’t help but ask her elder sister, "Xue-jie, are you feeling alright?"
The Moon Goddess didn’t answer right away and smiled at her elder sister.
"Don’t worry. The backlash isn’t that powerful."
