Chapter 925: Chapter 647: Eight Realms (Double Chapter – Requesting Monthly Ticket)
"Who dares to come? I’ll chop them with an axe."
The bald giant glared menacingly in all directions.
Emperor Shitian said, "Hmph, too many people want the Alliance Hierarch dead. The Eye of Truth, Heavenly Gu Daoist, Divine Alliance, and some ill-intentioned loose cultivators all know that once the Hierarch breaks through the Eighth Realm, they won’t have a chance to act. They will surely try to sabotage during the Hierarch’s tribulation. We can’t afford to be careless as we experienced once in Tianxia."
Seventh Realm Great Tribulation.
Lu Chenzhou almost perished.
Too perilous.
"Everyone, let’s work together to seal off a hundred thousand miles around, leaving them no opportunity."
Emperor Shitian said.
"Alright! Let’s see who dares to come."
The Spirit Phoenix Dominator raised her hand, and Myriad Feather Mountain thundered down on the west of Lu Chenzhou’s tribulation site. She stood at the mountain peak, with an Ice Phoenix phantom appearing behind her.
"I’ll guard the west!"
The bald giant laughed heartily and rode the Dragons Palace to guard the east, as phantoms of Divine Dragons roared.
"The east is mine."
"We, the Hanhai Seven Sons, will defend the south." The Hanhai Sect Lord led six True Disciples to form the Heavenly Separation Sword Formation, with billions of Sword Qi shrouding the sky and earth like a rain curtain.
Emperor Shitian descended with thunder in the north.
"Then the north is mine."
He continued:
"Other Eighth and Seventh Realm friends, also guard the perimeter corners, ready to act anytime. Trust me, there will definitely be a fierce battle coming."
Thus, another Eighth Realm from the Dragon and Phoenix Clans, along with the Old Man of Fishing Mountains, Heavenly Swordsman, Yaochi Immortal, and E Exian, who possessed Quasi-Eighth Realm combat power, each found a place and unleashed their aura.
"Goodness, we have six Eighth Realms here, seven Quasi-Eighth Realms, and ninety Seventh Realms; what kind of enemy would dare to cause trouble?"
The Old Man of Fishing Mountains sighed in amazement, saying that even a Third Step wouldn’t benefit from this formation.
Everyone was escorting the Alliance Hierarch through the great tribulation. Is there any place safer than the Mystic Sky Realm?
"The disciple is about to break through the Eighth Realm."
Inside the Aurora Palace, Wang Changming, who had just recovered from serious injuries, was the only Seventh Realm not participating in the battle. He regretted his strength being too weak to be of any help.
It’s too hard to keep up with the steps of the disciple.
...
Time passed.
As Lu Chenzhou’s aura continuously rose, the tide of Heaven and Earth Power he stirred kept shaking the Mystic Sky Realm, causing such a commotion that the entire realm could sense it.
If he could’ve returned to Tianxia, crossing the tribulation there would’ve been the safest choice. Lu Chenzhou established the Mystic Sky Alliance in advance with an important purpose — to guard himself during the breakthrough to the Eighth Realm. He knew he had offended too many forces, making it impossible to pass the tribulation peacefully. Hence, he added an important clause in the treaty: any member within the alliance who is about to face a great tribulation is obliged to provide a protector. After making a Dao oath, he could safely entrust these people with his back and focus entirely on the tribulation.
With so many powerful figures guarding, the aura they emitted formed a breathtaking phenomenon in the sky and earth, warning prying eyes in the dark like a fierce beast marking its scent.
...
"Hell’s bells, this Leader Lu has such a grand spectacle: three at the Second Step, four at the First Step, and seven Quasi-Eighth Realm protectors. Originally, I wanted to ride the wind and pick up some benefits, but it seems there’s no chance now."
An old man in a grey robe with a crafty look and a hunched figure stroked his beard, muttering curses under his breath.
...
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, quite the grand scene."
In the Ruins Sea, a tall, thin figure, ever-changing in appearance like a mist, quietly emerged.
...
"Lu Chenzhou, no wonder you wanted to establish the Mystic Sky Alliance, intending to borrow its influence to protect yourself during the tribulation. I underestimated you, but I believe there are many strong beings across the Three Thousand Worlds interested in you."
A blood-haired figure murmured.
...
"Ancestor, with such an arrangement, are we sure we want to act?" The middle-aged man of the Star Lords swallowed hard, sweat beading on his forehead.
"The Spirit Phoenix Dominator and the Ancient Dragon Lord are well-known Second Step powerhouses, renowned for millennia, and although their progress is slow, they have a long lifespan, countless years of accumulation of trump cards, and a True Spirit Bloodline. They are hard to deal with."
The beautiful middle-aged woman was equally tense.
On Hei Zhou, a black-veiled girl rode a Black Tiger exuding Eighth Realm might, her gaze shadowed and icy.
"These idiots got played by Lu Chenzhou, working for him for nothing, just for some elusive potential... I had invited the Dragon and Phoenix Dominator to follow me before, yet they ignored me!"
"Ancestor, maybe we should drop it..." The Star Lords whispered softly.
"The Dao is a struggle, the Dao is a struggle! Opportunities are snatched; wealth is sought amid risk. Without a spirit of adventure, how can you become a Great Power? The ancestor achieved today’s position by countless life-and-death experiences, and this mere setup doesn’t scare me. Long ago, I was hunted by four Third Step fiends in the Ninth Layer of the Divine Prison Realm and even managed to counter-kill one of them."
The Black Boat Ancestor said coldly.
"Wait, the great tribulation hasn’t arrived yet. I am very curious about how terrifying this, the First Heavenly Genius of the Three Thousand Realms, his Dao Tribulation will be. Maybe we won’t even need to act."
Starting from the Eighth Realm, tribulation is no longer the usual Five Elements Yin Yang Thunder Tribulation nonsense, but a real Dao Tribulation. The more Dao one cultivates, the more mysterious they are, and the greater the calamities they face.
This is why among Ancient Great Powers, except for the Four Emperors, few others practice difficult Daos.
The Dao Tribulation is extremely terrifying!
Not to mention, there’s also the Heavenly Demon Tribulation.
Furthermore, those lurking with ill intent towards Lu Chenzhou aren’t just her. She even senses two other auras not weaker than hers, also hiding within the Mystic Sky Realm.
"Kunxu should be in seclusion now, who might it be? As far as I know, the Third Steps across the Three Thousand Realms can be counted on one hand. To become a Great Power, they all hide from the causality of the Great Universe like turtles. Is it the Star-devouring Sword Demon from the Southern Boundary Domain? Or the Sword River Great Saint from the Beiluo Region?" The Black Boat Ancestor murmured in her heart.
