Celestial Emperor of Devouring

Taiyi Divine Hall.

Above the void, a dark fissure suddenly tore open this independent space, shattering its tranquility.

Forcibly tearing into an independent space, it's clear the visitor has powerful strength.

"He's here! The ancestor has returned!" Wang Chongtian was filled with excitement and joy.

"The ancestor has returned!" The elders and many strong figures raised their cheers in a frenzy.

Disciples of the Taiyi Divine Hall were also cheering excitedly at this moment.

"Zoom!"

A figure burst out from the dark fissure, which disappeared soon after.

In the blink of an eye, he was above Taiyi Divine Hall.

This person was none other than Nine Nether, the ancestor of Taiyi Divine Hall.

Nine Nether privately entered the lower realm, concealing his aura completely to avoid alerting other immortals.

"Welcome, ancestor!" Everyone from Taiyi Divine Hall respectfully knelt in greeting, their resonant voices echoing across the independent space.

"Stand up, everyone." Nine Nether said with a joyful smile on his face.

With a thought, Nine Nether flashed to the plaza, and happily said, "After so many years away, it's still that familiar scent."

Looking at Wang Chongtian, Nine Nether asked: "Has your master not returned?"

Wang Chongtian respectfully replied, "The old ancestor has not returned yet."

"Then I'll wait for your master before taking action. In the meantime, I'll visit the Taiyi Immortal Sect and see what level that fellow is who dared kill my master's disciple. He must be tired of living." Nine Nether said, then swiftly disappeared.

With his late Immortal King stage cultivation, he can go wherever he wishes in the Cultivation Realm.

...

Several days later.

Medicine God Hall's plaza.

"Buzz! Buzz!"

An extremely terrifying Ice Attribute Power suddenly surged through the calm hall, shaking the entire Medicine God Hall.

The sudden and terrifying power frightened the Medicine God Hall disciples.

"That's the master's Ice Attribute!" War God Tiger was also startled.

A giant serpent, extremely shocked, said: "The master has broken through to the Tribulation Stage! How did he break through so fast?"

They had only come out of the Secret Realm a few days ago?

At that time, Gu Chenfeng was only at the Middle Stage of Divinity Transformation, and within days, he has broken through to the Tribulation Stage.

What kind of terrifying cultivation speed is this?

"This power is... the old ancestor's Ice Attribute!"

"That's right! It's the old ancestor's Ice Attribute Spiritual Power!"

"Peak of Early Stage of Crossing Tribulation! The old ancestor has broken through!"

In one of the halls, the cultivating Yao Xuan and several elders exclaimed in surprise and quickly flashed out.

In another hall.

As the Demon Subduing True Immortal was transmitting Soul Power to Emperor Jiang, he felt this Ice Attribute right away and said joyfully, "The master's aura! The master has returned and broken through to the Tribulation Stage!"

"Zoom! Zoom! Zoom!"

The Demon Subduing True Immortal, Yao Xuan, and other powerhouses quickly flashed to the plaza.

Yet, to their shock and confusion, they can only sense Gu Chenfeng's dominant Ice Attribute Power, but cannot see where Gu Chenfeng is.

They don't even know the source of the Ice Attribute aura.

"What's happening?" Yao Xuan said in shock, puzzled: "Hasn't the old ancestor returned?"

Yao Xinghai hurriedly looked at War God Tiger and asked: "War God Tiger, where is the old ancestor?"

"I don't know." War God Tiger shook his head and said: "I haven't seen the master, only sensed the master's Ice Attribute Power."

The Demon Subduing True Immortal frowned and speculated: "If I'm not mistaken, the master should be cultivating in another space, and is not far away, which is why we can feel the master's Ice Attribute Power."

"It seems so." Yao Xuan and the others nodded.

Soon after.

The spiritual ship on the plaza suddenly emitted an energy fluctuation, rippling like water.

The eyes of the Demon Subduing True Immortal, Yao Xuan, and others swept over immediately.

"The master is on the spiritual ship." The Demon Subduing True Immortal quickly said, "No wonder the spiritual ship flew back by itself, the space is on the ship."

As expected.

As the Demon Subduing True Immortal's words fell, a person emerged from the energy fluctuation.

This person was Gu Chenfeng.

After breaking through to the Tribulation Stage, Gu Chenfeng cultivated intensely for several more days, reaching the peak of the Early Stage of Crossing Tribulation, only half a step away from another breakthrough.

"Congratulations to the old ancestor on breaking through to the Tribulation Stage!" Yao Xuan and the others excitedly knelt on one knee, and all disciples followed suit.

"Congratulations to the master for breaking through to the Tribulation Stage!" The Demon Subduing True Immortal also knelt excitedly.

"Congratulations to the master for breaking through to the Tribulation Stage!" War God Tiger and two giant serpents bowed respectfully.

The resonant voices echoed throughout the Medicine God Hall.

"Stand up, everyone." Gu Chenfeng said with a light smile, "I was lucky this time with a smooth breakthrough to the Tribulation Stage."

"Boom!"

Just as Gu Chenfeng finished speaking, thunder reverberated suddenly in the sky, and what had been clear skies turned into dark clouds, oppressive and bleak.

Yao Xuan said excitedly, "The old ancestor is going to cross the lightning trial."

Gu Chenfeng glanced upward and said with a smile, "It really came quickly."

A massive swirl of thunderclouds appeared in the sky.

"Boom!"

Celestial Thunder echoed through the heavens and earth, its terrifying Thunder Tribulation power rapidly gathering.

Gu Chenfeng activated his Spiritual Power while slowly rising.

"Zoom! Zoom! Zoom!"

The Ice Phoenix, Nalan Ziye, and Yao Hun, along with ten other Venerables, appeared one after another.

Nalan Ziye, looking at Gu Chenfeng high in the sky, said in shock, "Impossible! Gu Chenfeng is going to cross the lightning trial? How can this be?"

"Unbelievably, the master broke through so quickly to the Tribulation Stage." The Ice Phoenix was also quite astonished.

A few minutes later.

The immense swirl of thunderclouds, with the power of the Thunder Tribulation, had reached its peak.

The Demon Subduing True Immortal slightly furrowed his brow and said: "The Celestial Thunder's power is incredibly strong, it's the first time I've seen such powerful Celestial Thunder in all these years."

The Ice Phoenix slightly knitted her brows and said: "This perhaps has to do with the master's power, previous people crossing the Tribulation have never faced Celestial Thunder this strong."

Yao Xuan nodded: "When I crossed years ago, Celestial Thunder was not this terrifying, the old ancestor's Celestial Thunder is at least several times stronger."

"Several times stronger?" Nalan Ziye's face changed dramatically and hurriedly asked: "Phoenix Senior, can Gu Chenfeng cross the lightning trial successfully?"

The Ice Phoenix softly said: "A mere Celestial Thunder cannot trouble the master."

The Demon Subduing True Immortal smiled faintly and said: "Don't worry."

High above.

"It's here." Gu Chenfeng grinned, then reached his hand out and summoned the Ancient Immortal Sword.

With the support of the Ancient Immortal Sword, Gu Chenfeng's aura surged once again.

"Boom!"

Inside the swirl of thunderclouds, a massive Celestial Thunder, tens of meters wide, suddenly struck down, truly as fast as lightning, intending to forcefully destroy the person crossing the Tribulation.

Celestial Thunder: Finally found someone.

Facing the terrifying Celestial Thunder, Gu Chenfeng showed no fear, nor did he flinch.

But as the terrifying Celestial Thunder was a few meters away from Gu Chenfeng, he suddenly swept out a sword, a white Sword Aura with the power to sweep away all things shot to the sky.

The white Sword Aura instantly expanded to several thousand meters, giving an impression of invincibility.

"Boom!"

In an instant, under the extremely shocked gazes of everyone, the domineering and terrifying Sword Aura Power forcefully shattered the first Celestial Thunder.
