Chapter 89: The main pavilion has ascended through the tribulation! More and more angry

A moment later, a shadow enveloped the entire Illusory Void Mountain, spanning a hundred miles. The fierce beasts within the mountain all cowered and trembled on the ground.

Meanwhile, in the midsection of the mountain, within the Heavenly Dao Hall, the area within a radius of ten li was experiencing a surge of spiritual energy akin to an eruption. Initially, it had merely formed countless vortexes of spiritual energy that madly poured into Chen Daoxuan's direction.

Within the confines of the Heavenly Dao Hall, spiritual energy seemed endless, increasing more and more. As it accumulated, it began to slowly condense into droplets of liquid.

Before long, the liquid gathered together, forming a small river that continuously flowed toward Chen Daoxuan.

Boom!

Accompanied by the sound of rumbling, the spiritual liquid river grew wider and wider, becoming a grand river akin to an immense sea. It engulfed Chen Daoxuan entirely.

"Mother of— What on earth happened during my cultivation time!? Is there a flood? No, wait! Are these all spiritual liquids!? Pavilion Master, are you okay!?"

Chi Yun, who was refining the Ren Uh, was awakened by this immense commotion. As he beheld the scene before him, he rubbed his eyes and even questioned if he had fallen into a demonic cultivation path!

This river-like flood of spiritual liquid continuously converged towards the small pavilion, similar to a river flowing into it. In comparison to the drops of spiritual liquid he had seen during his over five thousand years in the secret realm, this volume was like a drop of water in the ocean!

Setting aside how the Pavilion Master managed to absorb such a vast amount of spiritual liquid without bursting, the crucial question was: Where did all this come from?

After a while, Chen Daoxuan's Qi Sea had finally completed its absorption, and the spiritual liquid ceased to appear. It had been fully absorbed by Chen Daoxuan.

"Phew, making a breakthrough really leaves you feeling refreshed!"

Chen Daoxuan slowly opened his eyes, and within his pupils, stars seemed to twinkle momentarily before gradually fading away.

Before he could examine the changes in his breakthrough, the sky above Illusory Void Mountain suddenly lit up with lightning and resounded with thunderclaps. Dark clouds gathered for hundreds of li, casting an extremely oppressive atmosphere.

"Heavens… Heavenly Tribulation! Is the Pavilion Master going through Heavenly Tribulation for ascension!? What the hell!?"

Beside him, Chi Yun's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Staring at the thunderclouds above, he couldn't stop trembling.

Ascending wasn't frightening in itself, but the problem was, he was quite close to the Pavilion Master right now! Moreover, the Heavenly Tribulation had already locked onto his presence!

Chi Yun couldn't guarantee whether the Pavilion Master could withstand the Heavenly Tribulation and successfully ascend.

However, for him, this little dish, it was almost certain that he'd be reduced to ashes by the Heavenly Tribulation in a moment!

"To be able to witness the scene of ascension before death… it's worth it… Pavilion Master, you just focus on overcoming the tribulation. No need to worry about me!" Chi Yun let out a long sigh and unexpectedly shouted at Chen Daoxuan.

"Hmm? What nonsense are you saying? Instead of refining Ren Uh's corpse, why are you meddling in my affairs?" Chen Daoxuan raised an eyebrow slightly, looking calmly at Chi Yun. He seemed completely indifferent to the impending Heavenly Tribulation.

Nonetheless, Chi Yun's words made Chen Daoxuan view him with a newfound respect. Based on this incident alone, Chen Daoxuan was willing to entrust the management of the Northern Domain to him entirely.

"My esteemed Pavilion Master… That's the Heavenly Tribulation, the Heavenly Tribulation! Even if you're confident, at least use a treasure to defend against it. Don't take it lightly!"

Chi Yun's eyelids twitched. Although he was already in a life-or-death situation himself, he wasn't as scared as before. So, he kept urging the Pavilion Master to utilize a treasure to withstand the Heavenly Tribulation.

"Tsk, I, Chen Daoxuan, am standing right here. Let's see if this Heavenly Tribulation dares to strike."

Chen Daoxuan sneered at the thunderclouds above, his contemptuous laughter echoing through the air.

Even if it was the Heavenly Tribulation within the Heavenly Dao Hall's boundaries, Chen Daoxuan remained unfazed. However, he felt puzzled. Most cultivators only faced Heavenly Tribulation when they were about to ascend to the Immortal Realm. How come he, having just broken through to the Void Sky Realm, was facing it?

It was beyond reason!

Others were ascending, while he, at best, was just soaring through the skies. Why was he experiencing Heavenly Tribulation?

"Damn it, the more I think about it, the angrier I get…"

Chen Daoxuan furrowed his brows, then casually summoned his merit treasure, the Hongmeng Ruler.

Beside him, Chi Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the Pavilion Master using a treasure. It seemed the Pavilion Master had taken his words to heart.

"Rubbish! This Heavenly Tribulation won't stop me, this Pavilion Master, from sunbathing. Bring out the sun for me!" Chen Daoxuan's eyes glittered as he nonchalantly released two beams of profound yellow energy into the sky.

Well, it wouldn't be accurate to say two beams. Those beams of profound yellow energy were as thick as colossal pillars, radiating a profound yellow aura. Faint traces of merit power could even be sensed.

Directly aiming for the roiling tribulation clouds in the sky!

"It's over… It's finished… This act will surely trigger a backlash from the Heavenly Tribulation, unleashing an even stronger force!"

Chi Yun was flabbergasted. He couldn't understand why the Pavilion Master was provoking the Heavenly Tribulation so brazenly.

However, as the two beams of profound yellow energy penetrated the tribulation clouds…

Boom!

Roll, roll, rumble…

After two deafening roars, the gathering tribulation clouds covering hundreds of li were directly blasted into instability.

"Tch, they weakened after traveling such a long distance."

Chen Daoxuan didn't care, nonchalantly waving the Hongmeng Ruler towards the sky several times.

Boom!

Boom!

Heavenly Tribulation... obliterated!

Hehehe...

Hahaha...

"Lord Tea Tree, I understand now. You were just playing tricks on me, weren't you?"

"I see, I see. When Lord Tea Tree was imparting Dao Insights earlier, he incidentally pulled me into an illusion. Lord Tea Tree, I've figured it out. Please wake me up from this dream!"

Chi Yun stared dumbfoundedly at the tribulation clouds, which had been obliterated by the bombardment. After a moment of shock, he began to laugh uncontrollably.

Next to him, the Enlighenment Tea Tree, initially astonished by the owner's incredible prowess, regained its senses as Chi Yun's words sank in. It lightly extended a branch, touching Chi Yun's forehead.

Chi Yun thought the Enlightenment Tea Tree would help him break free from the illusion. However, what appeared in his mind were three words.

[You're an Idiot!]

"Er, what do you mean?"

Chi Yun was baffled. What was Lord Tea Tree trying to convey?

"Stop laughing. You weren't in an illusion just now. Everything was real. Just some Heavenly Tribulation clouds. Why are you so surprised? Train when you need to train, sleep when you need to sleep. I'm tired."

With the dispersal of the Heavenly Tribulation, Chen Daoxuan felt a little more at ease. Who gave the right to a mere breakthrough in the Void Sky Realm to summon a Heavenly Tribulation and strike him? Did he have no pride?

Having said that, he let out a lazy yawn and reclined back onto the Enlightenment Vine Chair. He paid no mind to Chi Yun, who was now utterly dumbfounded, and leisurely closed his eyes, falling into silence.

He initially intended to break through to the Profound Sky Realm directly. However, little did he know how taxing it would be – he had to face a Heavenly Tribulation. It was better to get some rest first and recharge!
