Chapter 2491: Tribulation

However, right now, Ye Futian was not in the mood to think about breaking through to the next plane. He was somewhat worried.

Although Hua Jieyu undergoing a tribulation was a good thing, in a sense, doing so was not truly breaking through to the next plane. The current Heavenly Law did not allow Renhuangs with flawless Great Paths to continue advancing. Hence, the Tribulation of Law descended upon them when they attempted to do so. It was extremely dangerous.

Conversely, when cultivators without flawless Great Paths advanced, that was considered truly breaking through to the next plane. They merged with the Heavenly Law and were even called fake emperors. Yet, in reality, they were far inferior to Great Emperors.

Great Emperor level figures were existences akin to deities in ancient times. Fake emperors could not compare to them. Ordinary fake emperors would have difficulty defeating even a ninth-tier Renhuang with a flawless Great Path.

Back when the Original Realm went through the crisis, many ninth-tier Renhuangs descended from the Divine Prefecture. Figures from the Original Realm at the level of Lord Taixuan could not hold a candle to them. The gap between their levels of power was apparent.

Ye Futian had witnessed Emperor Xi undergoing his tribulation on Turtle Deity Island. Even with Emperor Xi’s ability back then, it was difficult for him to withstand the power of the tribulation, especially the Sword of Law which appeared at the end. Emperor Xi was nearly killed by the Sword of Law. The black turtle of Turtle Deity Island appeared in the nick of time and took the terrifying slash on behalf of Emperor Xi. Only then did he manage to pa.s.s the Divine Tribulation of the Great Path.

Of course, Hua Jieyu was different. In Ye Futian’s opinion, Hua Jieyu was not any weaker than Emperor Xi of the past. She was a successor of a Great Emperor. Moreover, she had a deep understanding of the teachings she received. She also improved a lot while cultivating on Spirit Mountain these past few years. Her comprehension of Buddhist doctrine greatly aided her in her cultivation.

Exactly because of the reasons above, Hua Jieyu had this opportunity to break through the shackles of her current plane.

Therefore, even though Ye Futian was slightly worried about her, he was not afraid. Deep down, he believed that Hua Jieyu could succeed in this Divine Tribulation of the Great Path. It was just that there was still some risk.

The two of them were very close; it was normal for Ye Futian to be worried for her.

More and more menacing phenomena appeared in the sky above Spirit Mountain. The light of catastrophe gathered, churned, and roared. It penetrated the Light of Buddha, which hovered over Spirit Mountain. Great Buddha level figures appeared, followed by the Sound of Buddha reverberating in the heavens and the earth. Then, the Light of Buddha enveloped Spirit Mountain, s.h.i.+elding the entire mountain with a layer of golden s.h.i.+mmer. This caused it not to be harmed by the divine tribulation. Otherwise, Spirit Mountain would be perforated with holes under the power of the divine tribulation.

Hua Jieyu stood at the center of the storm. Her entire body was s.h.i.+ning. She was as divine and beautiful as a G.o.ddess. The light of catastrophe that gathered penetrated the s.p.a.ce. It was as though the end days had arrived and overshadowed the peaceful divinity of Spirit Mountain. Even though Spirit Mountain was enveloped in defensive power, an intense rumbling could be felt on it now.

“It’s unexpected for a cultivator who hasn’t cultivated Buddhist superpowers to undergo a tribulation on Spirit Mountain. This is interesting,” commented a Great Buddha while smiling.

“Right. This is the first time something like this has occurred,” a Buddha responded.

At this moment, many divine swords appeared around Hua Jieyu. All the divine swords were wheezing angrily as they surrounded her. They formed an unlimited domain with her in the center.

The light of catastrophe rained down. The tribulation descended on Hua Jieyu.

Hua Jieyu cast a glance at the sky. She was not afraid at all. She pointed a finger upwards. Immediately, countless divine swords appeared and collided head-on with the tribulation. Most of the light of catastrophe was eliminated. However, even so, there was still a myriad of light of catastrophe that landed on her. The light circulated around her body.

On the ancient peak, Ye Futian and the others were somewhat nervous. Little Ling held her breath as her crystal-clear eyes stared at the silhouette before her. In her head, she prayed, “Masteress will surely be alright.”

“Rest your worries. There are many Great Buddhas on Spirit Mountain. If something were to happen, they could take the Divine Tribulation of the Great Path head-on,” Hua Qingqing said softly to Ye Futian. Ye Futian nodded in agreement. Even though the tribulation was powerful, it was a form of power after all. True top existences could intervene in the power of the tribulation.

However, if the situation escalated to that point, Hua Jieyu’s cultivation would be affected too. Ye Futian naturally wouldn’t want to see that happen.

In the sky above, the light of catastrophe stretched for tens of thousands of miles. The horrifying phenomenon caused people’s hearts to tremble. Even at his current level, Ye Futian still felt somewhat terrified by it. He believed that if this tribulation were targeted at him, he would feel threatened too. One could imagine the intensity of the attack Hua Jieyu was withstanding now.

The heavens shook, and the power of the tribulation constantly descended. Hua Jieyu’s clothes fluttered about, and her long, jet-black hair danced frenziedly in the wind. Her entire body seemed to become a divine body as she resisted the corrosion of the power of the tribulation.

As time pa.s.sed, the power of the tribulation showed no signs of weakening at all.

Rumble. An even more frightening aura coalesced in the sky. Ye Futian felt that it was somewhat familiar. It was similar to the final attack that Emperor Xi withstood back then.

The Heavenly Law was delivering its punishment, Ye Futian thought to himself. Last time, Emperor Xi had to withstand the Sword of Law. It was an extremely overbearing and sharp punishment.

What would Hua Jieyu be facing?

Each cultivator would experience a different power of law. The Sword of Law was a Tribulation of Law that had extremely overbearing attack power. What kind of power would Hua Jieyu experience?

Ye Futian looked up at the sky above. Endless light of catastrophe gathered together. A face faintly appeared over where the light gathered. It seemed to be the face of a woman. It was majestic and domineering. It was filled with endless authority.

An astonis.h.i.+ng storm of will appeared in the heavens above. The power of law emanated from this storm. Ye Futian and the others felt an intense threat against their spiritual souls.

“It is the Will of the Law. It is a psychic attack of will,” a Buddha commented as he looked at the face forming in the storm in the sky.

Another Buddha commented, “This attack is extremely dangerous. However, for the Will of the Law to appear when she is undergoing the tribulation means that her psychic abilities are extremely powerful. She is impressive.”

Rumble.

A dull thud could be heard. At that moment, it was as though the entire world fell silent. On Spirit Mountain, many cultivators felt as though their heads were about to explode. Their wills were collapsing, and their spiritual souls were about to shatter. This was especially so for people with low cultivation, such as Fang Cun and the others. They held their heads in their hands as they felt a pang of pain. This power had not even attacked them yet.

Ye Futian also sensed a terrifyingly powerful attack. It made his thoughts freeze for a brief moment.

However, in just a split second, everything seemed to have ended. When he regained his senses, he saw Hua Jieyu’s figure trembling slightly as she stood there. She seemed off balance.

His figure dashed over and immediately appeared behind Hua Jieyu as he caught her.

Hua Jieyu looked a little frail as she leaned on Ye Futian. However, she had a smile on her face. She raised her head and looked at Ye Futian, saying, “This is the first tribulation.”

Most likely, she would be capable enough to protect Ye Futian after she experienced the second tribulation.

Many of Ye Futian’s enemies were cultivators who had undergone the first tribulation.

“Hmm.” Ye Futian nodded and said, “This is the first tribulation.”

His eyes glistened with tenderness. He naturally understood why Hua Jieyu trained so hard. She did so because of him.

Ye Futian himself also had to break through to the next plane as soon as possible!
