Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Linglong emerged from the mountain range, and Jun Wuxie immediately accompanied her out of the Eight-Nine Profound Palace, appearing on the back of Lan Lan, who was galloping across the vast mountains and rivers.

“Junior Brother, this mount of yours…”

Linglong was shocked once again. She realized that since Jun Wuxie rescued her from the coffin, the shocks she had experienced had been more than the sum of her entire life.

This blue exotic beast beneath her was terrifyingly fast.

Although, in terms of speed alone, it was many times inferior to her, but what realm was this exotic beast in? Only just entering the Great Saint realm, while she was in the Saint Ancestor realm!

“It is indeed a bit abnormal. It’s only natural for Senior Sister to be surprised…”

Jun Wuxie knew that Lan Lan's performance was too subversive. Not to mention Linglong, even experts in the Eternal Saint realm would find it unbelievable.

Throughout history, how many creatures could possess such abnormal speed upon entering the Great Saint realm?

Jun Wuxie prided himself on his already extremely abnormal speed. The Word Secret and the Dao of Talismans Divine Ability brought speed that, individually, was already heaven-defying at the same realm. The superposition of the two was even more needless to say, but even so, there was still a big gap compared to Lan Lan.

Linglong hesitated to speak. She had too many doubts in her heart. Just how many secrets were hidden within this Junior Brother?

Everything that appeared on him or around him was astonishing.

For example, the Eight-Nine Profound Palace, this mount, the primordial spirit imprints left by the three Eternal Saint realm experts, and so on.

The bright sky was now rapidly darkening.

Lan Lan stopped, and both Jun Wuxie and Linglong looked up at the sky.

The originally rosy clouds and clear blue sky were now covered with dark clouds.

The clouds were very thick, layer upon layer, a dark mass, with flashes of lightning from time to time, creating a suffocating sense of oppression.

Strands of heavenly might began to surge, covering the mountains and rivers, and constantly spreading.

“Junior Brother, be careful to keep your distance. Senior Sister’s tribulation will cover a wide area, so be sure not to enter the area covered by the lightning tribulation.”

Linglong instructed, then stepped into the air, vanishing in an instant, disappearing at the end of the sky.

Above the sky, the vast tribulation clouds followed her and moved.

However, the coverage area of the tribulation clouds was constantly increasing, so even though it was moving, it still covered the area where Jun Wuxie was at the moment.

Rumble!

Deafening thunder rumbled in the heavy clouds, and a flash of lightning appeared in the clouds from time to time, instantly resembling a blazing silver vein.

The tribulation clouds were still moving at high speed, finally leaving this area.

The sky brightened, and the brilliant sunlight shone down, but the vast area in front was dim, forming a spectacle of light and darkness meeting, clearly separated.

Jun Wuxie signaled Lan Lan to rise higher.

They came to the high sky, overlooking the distant sky, and activated their pupil technique, seeing the scene hundreds of thousands of miles away.

It's just that the distance was too far, and even with the use of the pupil technique, they couldn't see very clearly.

They could only vaguely see a brilliant light and shadow under the vast tribulation clouds.

If the light wasn't too dazzling, they probably wouldn't be able to see anything at all from such a distance.

Jun Wuxie knew that it was Linglong.

Her current state was extremely strong, and she had made full preparations to face the Great Tribulation of the Saint Ancestor realm.

Boom!

Crack!

Finally, the long-brewing lightning tribulation descended.

In the midst of the huge roar, a blazing lightning bolt pierced down from the clouds of the Nine Heavens.

Lightning fell all over the sky, the scene was extremely spectacular and terrifying. In the central area, the lightning was the most blazing, the silver light dazzling. Even across hundreds of thousands of miles, Jun Wuxie's Primordial True Eyes felt a slight sting.

One could imagine how terrifying the energy of that lightning bolt was.

Jun Wuxie was not worried. Senior Sister Linglong would surely be able to successfully overcome the lightning tribulation.

With her mythical domain's talent and growth intensity, although the power of the Heavenly Tribulation was many times stronger than ordinary cultivators, her chances of withstanding it were very high.

Now, she had also derived the True Inscription of Thunder in her body, possessing not weak lightning resistance. This made the power acting on her when the tribulation lightning struck her much weaker, making the tribulation even less of a problem.

“Why didn’t I undergo tribulation when I broke through to the Great Saint realm? Yan’ning is the same. After breaking through to the Great Saint realm, she didn’t attract Heavenly Tribulation…”

Watching Linglong undergo tribulation, Jun Wuxie couldn't help but think of himself, and also of Xu Yan'ning.

Although they both broke through in the ancient tomb, if it was said that the ancient tomb could deceive the secrets of heaven, then after coming out, they should have been sensed by the secrets of heaven soon.

But the fact was that the Great Saint Tribulation of him and Xu Yan'ning had not arrived.

“What exactly is the problem here? If it is said that my Heavenly Tribulation has not descended because I have undergone the Limit Tribulation, then what about Yan’ning?”

His mind had hardly been idle during this time, and he had no time to think about these things. Now that he was free, he felt strange in his heart when he thought of this.

He couldn't help but look up at the sky. The heavenly rules of this world were truly elusive.

…

As time passed, the lightning tribulation became more and more violent.

After the first wave of lightning tribulation, it paused for a moment, and then ushered in the second, more terrifying wave of lightning tribulation.

It was no longer in the form of electric arcs, but evolved into a dragon, roaring, with bared fangs and brandished claws, swooping down from the tribulation clouds of the Nine Heavens.

Jun Wuxie saw that the ball of light that resisted the lightning tribulation was always bright, showing that the person undergoing the tribulation was still in his prime.

Wave after wave of lightning tribulation passed, and in the blink of an eye, half a day had passed.

Near dusk, Linglong finally passed the last wave of lightning tribulation.

That was a weapon condensed by lightning all over the sky, in various shapes, killing the world, bombarding her overwhelmingly.

In the end, she resisted it all. Although the whole process consumed a lot, it was considered very smooth.

The heavenly might subsided, the tribulation clouds dissipated, and the world regained its light, a golden red of the setting sun.

The evening glow reflects the sunset, and the breeze拂s the treetops.

Between the mountains and rivers, the grass and trees swayed, rustling, and the air was wrapped in the fragrance of grass, trees, and soil, which made people feel refreshed.

Linglong came stepping on the void, her pure black palace dress and ink-like black hair flying in the wind.

Every time she took a step, her crystal bare feet would be revealed from under the hem of her skirt.

The curves of those bare feet were exquisite, the skin was like jade, and the nails on the crystal-clear toes were as red as blood.

This was a woman who was beautiful to the point of being妖.

Jun Wuxie looked at her coming, and felt a stronger aura on her than before the tribulation.

Although she consumed a lot during the tribulation, at this moment, there was no trace of fatigue in her deep eyes and妖beautiful face.

“Congratulations, Senior Sister, on truly entering the realm of the Saint Ancestor.”

Jun Wuxie could feel that she had a very happy mood in her heart, seemingly because of the breakthrough in realm.

“Senior Sister has been trapped in the Half-Step Saint Ancestor realm for many years. Senior Sister is different from you, and different from other cultivators. Because she only cultivates necromantic arts, it is difficult to break through the shackles of realm without a deeper understanding of necromancy. If it weren’t for Junior Brother, Senior Sister doesn’t know how many years she would have to徘徊in this realm…”

Linglong was very唏嘘. She never thought that she would meet such a person today after endless years, rescuing her from the coffin, helping her to see through the bottleneck, break through the realm, and step into the realm of the Saint Ancestor.

“Junior Brother, you are the benefactor of Senior Sister’s life.”

“Senior Sister is too serious.” Jun Wuxie couldn’t help but smile and said, “If we have to talk about benefactor, we are each other’s benefactors. After all, I got the necromantic arts from Senior Sister, and I’m afraid there will be many things in the future that I will have to rely on Senior Sister to help with.”

Hearing this, Linglong couldn’t help but抿嘴and smile lightly. Her妖beautiful face bloomed with stunning beauty, making the beautiful scenery of dusk pale in comparison.

Jun Wuxie was slightly dazed. Senior Sister Linglong’s姿容was truly too difficult to resist her beauty.

If his concentration wasn’t pretty good, he would have made a fool of himself in public.

“Whenever Senior Sister is needed, just say it. Remember what Senior Sister said in the Eight-Nine Profound Palace. In this world, the異道宗only has you and me. Whether in the異道宗or in this world, you are the only close person in this world that Senior Sister is alive for.”

Speaking of this, Linglong’s妖beautiful face raised slightly, like a queen威临山河. Her whole temperament changed. She lost the gentleness she usually had only in front of him, and added a bit of强势, saying, “Senior Sister knows that Junior Brother’s growth process will attract the attention of many people. It is inevitable that those who are too excellent will be envied. However, so what if they are jealous? With Senior Sister here, except for those老古董who do not come out of the world, who dares to压you with power? Senior Sister will never agree!”

Listening to Linglong’s霸氣confident declaration, Jun Wuxie felt very踏實in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face.

踏實was because what he was worried about was perhaps unnecessary.

After experiencing the failure of the past, Senior Sister Linglong, although责, did not leave a shadow because of it.

She regained the霸氣that she should have had.

“Senior Sister Linglong, this kind of you, this is the real you. Senior Sister shouldn’t耿耿于怀about what happened back then. No one’s life is made up of all decisions that are right and perfect. There are many挫折in life. Every failure is to accumulate experience, learn lessons, and not repeat the same mistakes.”

“Junior Brother doesn’t need to worry about Senior Sister. Senior Sister has also experienced the years and will not trap herself in the shadows of the past. Now, Junior Brother, open the Eight-Nine Profound Palace and let Senior Sister in. There are many new insights in the necromantic arts that need time to融会贯通. Senior Sister may be able to improve her realm a little more because of this. If you encounter troubles that you can’t solve, just wake Senior Sister up.”

Hearing this, Jun Wuxie nodded, opened the Eight-Nine Profound Palace, and sent Linglong in.

Under the sunset, Lan Lan carried him,流光般far away in the afterglow of the setting sun.

…

The next morning.

Outside the border city, a large group of figures appeared in the border mountains of the Wuan Dynasty.

This group of people was almost entirely middle-aged and elderly, though there was one who appeared very young, like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old.

This person, looking like a youth, stood at the very front of the group.

His face looked young, but his eyes lacked the vibrant energy of youth, instead possessing a faint sense of vicissitudes that came with age.

"Something major has indeed happened!"

The leading youth spoke coldly, his face darkening.

Standing in the mountains, he looked towards Border City, seeing a prosperous and lively scene within the city walls. The people lived and worked in peace, not at all like a city that had been captured, nor did they appear to be facing an attack, with everyone in a state of panic.

The people in the city had genuine smiles on their faces, and no one showed the slightest hint of worry.

"How could this be?"

An old man behind the youth had a livid expression. "We haven't received any talisman messages for days. We thought there was another reason, but now it seems our people are all gone!"

"I can't understand it. Border City, at best, with the help of the three sects' experts, could only protect itself. It's impossible for them to kill our experts! Now that our people are gone, how did they do it?"

The youth's eyes were dark and cold, with a murderous aura between his brows. After speaking, he headed towards the military camp on the border line.

This was once the military camp of the Wu'an army, but now the camp was very empty.

Although the logistics units were still there, there were only a little over a million people. For this vast military camp area, a million people was far too few.

"We'll know by asking them. Judging from the current situation, our three sects' experts and tens of millions of Wu'an soldiers are probably already annihilated!"

"We cannot defeat a small kingdom like ants, yet we paid such a price for just one of their border cities, and still failed to take it. This is outrageous!"

...

They quickly arrived at the military camp, where the logistics camp commander, upon hearing the news, immediately led the generals to greet them.

"What exactly is going on? How could things have turned out like this?"

The youth scanned the empty military camp and asked coldly.

The logistics camp commander couldn't help but show surprise at how young he was.

"Why aren't you answering truthfully when asked? This is Elder Wuxiang of my Seven Kill Tower!"

Someone scolded the dazed commander. Upon hearing this, the commander trembled in fear and knelt on the ground: "I was blind and ignorant. Please forgive me, Elder Wuxiang!"

"Speak, tell us the details one by one. Have all the Supreme Saint experts of our three sects fallen?"

Elder Wuxiang stood with his hands behind his back, a chilling murderous aura emanating from him, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet.
