Chapter 1 Raining

*Hua la la*~

Spiritual rain poured down.

The master and deputy master of Butian Pavilion were covered in wounds, kneeling in the rain, looking extremely miserable.

An Qisheng glanced at them indifferently.

Experts in Shattering Vacuum were rare in the world. These two still had some use for him, but only some.

Killing them was fine, not killing them was also fine.

He was never bloodthirsty, but he didn't care about his hands being stained with blood either.

"Ha, hahaha!"

The Sect Master of Lingtian Sect, with disheveled hair, looked up and laughed three times.

That look deeply pierced his heart, a pain that surpassed even resisting the Cave Heaven Tribulation, being crushed by heaven and earth, blood qi and essence!

He was born into the world of cultivation, born with intelligence, showing outstanding talent at a young age. In his youth, he was already a direct disciple of the Ten Great Sects, laughing proudly among his peers, his name spread throughout the hundred nations of Dongzhou, and he had been in charge of Lingtian Sect for over a thousand years.

With a thought, billions of people would be exhausted. In anger, millions would be buried. He held the power of life and death, and wherever he went, countless people looked up to him.

Even the three great Holy Masters, Tian Ding Emperor, and Qian Shisi, who were even more talented and cultivated to a higher level, had to treat him with courtesy.

When had he ever been looked down upon like this?

That indifferent gaze, treating him like pigs and dogs, was how he had always looked at others. How could he allow others to look down on him like this?

How could he allow others to look down on him like this?

Miserable laughter rolled in the rain, lingering for a long time. The Sect Master of Lingtian Sect closed his eyes, then let out a low roar: "Death is death, why need a next time?!"

*Bang!*

Before his words fell, his body trembled, his head remained raised, but his boiling aura plummeted to the bottom.

He was dead.

*Kacha*~

A thunderbolt echoed in the void.

Amidst the trembling of the Star River True Form, another ‘star,’ slightly dimmer but still radiating light, lit up. It was the Cave Heaven of the Lingtian Sect Master.

At a glance, one could see the broken mountains and rivers, the destroyed spiritual fields and spiritual springs, the fleeing and wailing spiritual beasts, and the void filled with cracks.

"The Sect Master of Lingtian Sect, he, he's dead..."

Zheng Longqiu and the others trembled, a look of grief appearing on their faces.

There were many corpses on the road to immortality, and many dead souls before the gate of seeking the Dao.

They had seen too much life and death, but this was the first time they had witnessed the fall of a Sect Leader-level figure so closely.

And in such a resolute manner, self-destructing before them.

How could they not be shocked?

"Fellow Daoist..."

The old man Han from Wanfa Tower was also shaken, a sigh on his face.

If the Sect Leader hadn't stopped him, wouldn't there be one more person kneeling there now?

They had underestimated this Yuan Yang Daoist after all...

However, Qian Shisi's expression didn't change much. This scene seemed to be expected. Looking at the Sect Master of Lingtian Sect, who had lost his breath, he just shook his head.

There were many corpses on the road of cultivation. If one was saddened by every one they saw, what Dao could they cultivate?

"Brother!"

The master of Butian Pavilion gave a miserable laugh.

He was born as an assassin and had seen too much ridicule and contempt since childhood, so he didn't care much about how others viewed him.

But at this moment, with his Cave Heaven damaged, defeated by others, and crushed by the tides of tribulation, his physique and vitality greatly injured, and seeing no room for resistance,

he was also somewhat despondent.

Seeing the Sect Master of Lingtian Sect commit suicide before him, his heart was greatly impacted.

"Corpses pile up like mountains before the Supreme Road..."

The master of Butian Pavilion looked coldly at An Qisheng: "There is no constant strength in the world. One day, you will taste the humiliation we are experiencing now!"

His bones were shattered, his blood qi extinguished by the tide, and his Cave Heaven suffered great damage.

But he didn't want to die.

But he wasn't afraid of death either. At least, he would never submit.

"Perhaps."

An Qisheng's eyes moved, reflecting the expressions of everyone present.

People's joys and sorrows were not the same.

The fall of a strong man caused people to feel sorrow for the loss, to mourn, to sigh. But if that person was nameless, they wouldn't even spare a glance.

"Noble bloodline, profound cultivation, esteemed status, overwhelming power. The death of such a great figure does indeed make people feel sad...

But in my opinion..."

He murmured to himself, as if speaking to others, and perhaps to himself.

He casually reached out and picked up a little puppy whose fur was wet in the rain: "He's not necessarily nobler than it."

*Ka*~

The ground cracked open, and the body of the Sect Master of Lingtian Sect fell into it, deeply buried in the soil, becoming fertilizer to nourish the soil of this Cave Heaven.

The bones of a Shattering Vacuum expert were incomparably strong. Their tendons could be compared to dragons, their blood could crush mountains and rivers, and they were even more precious than spiritual pills.

But An Qisheng naturally had no interest in other people's corpses.

Great grievances could be repaid with death.

"The person is already dead, Daoist, do you have to humiliate him? Isn't that too much?"

Qian Shisi spoke, his voice fluctuating: "Thousands of years of cultivation, Shattering Vacuum, a Sect Master, doesn't he deserve any respect from you?"

He didn't care much about the life and death of the Sect Master of Lingtian Sect.

But as a Sect Master of the Ten Great Sects, he naturally wouldn't like people comparing him to a dog.

"He is Shattering Vacuum, a Sect Master, a great figure worshiped by tens of dynasties, countries, and billions of people, but what does he have that deserves my respect?"

An Qisheng casually stroked the little puppy, its fur already dry. He glanced at Qian Shisi:

"He failed to promote the laws of the sages, did not participate in the battles of the races, and did not repay the billions of people who worshiped him... Such a person is truly not worthy of my respect."

*Hu*~

After speaking, An Qisheng ignored the complex feelings of the others, waved his sleeve, shielding the Cave Heaven from wind and rain, and put down the ignorant little puppy.

He disappeared into the Cave Heaven.

The Cave Heaven Tribulation was a natural act of heaven and earth to restore the void, so there was naturally no creation. However, using the Taiji Great Millstone to absorb the vitality of heaven and earth naturally had great benefits for his cultivation.

Moreover, the tribulation itself was also a form of tempering for him.

Naturally, he wouldn't waste his precious time on arguing with these people.

"Not worthy..."

Qian Shisi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head:

"Another heretic..."

......

In the extreme west of Dongzhou, a magnificent heavenly palace hung between the clouds, pavilions and towers everywhere surrounded by immortal light, like a holy land where gods lived.

This floating heavenly palace was the location of the Da Shi Holy Land's mountain gate.

Beneath the heavenly palace, the mountains were majestic, with countless palaces and even more cultivators within them.

*Hou*~~~

A dragon's roar shook the earth, containing pain and surprise: "My Cave Heaven Tribulation???!"

Shock, doubt, disbelief...

Ao Wushou's roar was full of incredulity.

He had clearly just passed the Cave Heaven Tribulation a little over a year ago, how could he attract another tribulation?!

"This, how could this be?!"

Almost at the same time as him, Datoluo, who had stepped out of the domain gate, was also full of surprise and doubt, with a hint of terror.

He had previously been in seclusion to pass the Cave Heaven Tribulation, and now, he was welcoming the Cave Heaven Tribulation again!

How was this possible?!

From the time he left seclusion to following Ao Wushou to borrow the Da Shi Holy Land's domain gate to come to Dongzhou, it hadn't even been a month!

If the Cave Heaven Tribulation was so frequent,

how could any cultivator above the Cave Heaven realm survive in this world?

Who could survive it?!

But no matter how shocked or incredulous the one man and one dragon were, they could only let out a roar and undergo the tribulation in this Da Shi Holy Land!

Caught off guard, without any preparation, it was needless to say how miserable they would be under such circumstances.

And those who were undergoing the tribulation with the one man and one dragon included all the great cultivators above the Cave Heaven realm in the Da Shi Holy Land!

Including the master of the Da Shi Holy Land, who had not been seen for a long time in the cloud-shrouded heavenly palace!

Under this tribulation, it seemed that no one could escape.

......

This day was destined to be a day remembered by many Cave Heaven cultivators.

The sudden upheaval triggered the Cave Heaven Tribulation of all the great cultivators above the Cave Heaven realm in the entire Dongzhou!

It goes without saying what the Cave Heaven Tribulation meant to cultivators. Any Cave Heaven Tribulation required a lot of preparation, and even then, it was extremely difficult to pass safely.

Not to mention suddenly.

It was still okay for those who had already passed the previous Cave Heaven Tribulation, but the most miserable were those who had just passed the Cave Heaven Tribulation.

Caught off guard, it was unknown how many were severely injured, and even some had their Cave Heavens directly destroyed, falling in realm.

The misery of their situation brought tears to those who heard it.

Therefore, since that day, the great powers of the Cave Heaven realm, who did not often walk in the world, seemed to have disappeared!

The cultivation world of Dongzhou actually ushered in a peaceful period of thirty years!

Thirty years without heavenly calamities, without divine wars!

"Hu~"

In an ancient city, in a teahouse, An Qisheng slowly opened his eyes, his gaze slightly dim.

"Brother Dao..."

Xuanji's expression was somewhat changed.

In her opinion, An Qisheng's aura at this time had fallen more than ten times compared to before, but although his aura had fallen, there was no sense of weakness at all.

It was as if refined steel had been tempered a hundred times, becoming even heavier.

And after the bloody smell that dissipated from his body, there was a vibrant vitality like after the rain, the revival of all things.

Had his cultivation improved again?

"Go to the Emotion Severing Dao's mountain gate once."

An Qisheng glanced at her.

The movement of heaven and earth was so great that it almost affected the entire Dongzhou, and the Emotion Severing Dao, which he had blamed, would naturally not have a better fate than him.

"Brother Dao's orders will naturally be carried out properly."

Xuanji's expression was subtle, but she knew that this Yuan Yang Daoist must have taken action against the Emotion Severing Dao before.

She was also a little curious in her heart. She nodded and disappeared into the ancient city.

She knew that An Qisheng was not afraid that she would run away. In fact, she would not run away at all. After so many years of cultivation, she had finally condensed her Cave Heaven.

At this time, her Cave Heaven was still being held in someone else's hand, how could she possibly run away?

"But I wonder what this 'Heaven' will do..."

An Qisheng didn't care about Xuanji's departure. He looked out the window, gazing at the rolling sea of clouds, his heart rippling.

The curse of the Three Seven Law Extinction Scroll was just his greeting to that 'Heaven'. The scene he saw in the Self-Requesting Altar was what he really wanted to tell 'Heaven'.

But he didn't know what this 'Heaven' would do.

But in any case, this complete and flawless 'Heaven's Will' could do much more than the Human Path's 'Heaven's Will', which had lost most of its control over the world.

The latter could still trigger a world-destroying catastrophe, and the former was naturally even more so.

Once there was movement, it would definitely be real,

earth-shattering!
