"Could the legend be true? Does Long Chen really possess the Qiankun Cauldron?"
"Didn't they say it was all a lie?"
"But people can deceive, but heavenly tribulations don't. If Long Chen hadn't been tainted by the causality of the Qiankun Cauldron, how could it have manifested within the heavenly tribulation?"
For a moment, everyone was shocked. First there were the Nine Star Descendants, then the Star Warriors from mythology. Logically, everyone should have become numb.
But when the Qiankun Cauldron appeared, it caused an uproar. The Cauldron was not the Nine-Star Descendant or the Starry Sky Warrior; its name was known by almost everyone, and many had seen its illustrated guide.
After all, the powerful ones who could come here were no ordinary people. Many recognized the Qiankun Cauldron, and precisely because they recognized it, countless were shocked, and soon, their shock turned into greed.
"What virtue or ability does Long Chen have? How could he have obtained the Qiankun Cauldron?"
Some roared in anger, jealousy unrecognizable to the core. Their eyes flashed with greed, and even Luo Changsheng and the others suddenly felt their breathing grow heavy.
The Qiankun Cauldron, one of the ten great chaotic artifacts, is said to be the strongest divine weapon in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths—who wouldn't be tempted? When they learned that the Qiankun Cauldron was on Long Chen, the powerful figures in the heavenly tribulation showed a hint of madness in their eyes.
"Boom boom boom..."
The Qiankun Cauldron appeared. In the sky, countless ghost ships and ancient beings instantly shattered, transforming into thunder runes that surged toward the cauldron. Once the cauldron appeared, it absorbed all the energy within the tribulation except for the Star Warriors.
At the same time, the auras of Luo Changsheng, Minglong Tianzhao, Yin Jiushang, and others suddenly surged, their cultivation having already reached the Divine Sovereign level.
"The heavenly tribulation is over?"
When they felt the surging power within them and the qualitative change from quantity to quality, Luo Changsheng and the others couldn't believe their eyes. The tribulation was not over yet, but they had already advanced to Divine Venerable.
At this moment, they should have been happy, but instead of feeling joyful, they were instead furious. The heavenly tribulation hadn't disappeared, but they had already advanced successfully, proving they had been excluded from the tribulation and no longer qualified to continue the tribulation.
The current heavenly tribulation only targeted Long Chen, yet it was as if they had been slapped hard in the face, feeling endless humiliation and defeat.
"Rumble rumble... The
Qiankun Cauldron trembled, endless runes swirling, trapping Long Chen inside. Through those transparent runes, people could see that inside the cauldron, Long Chen was bound by countless chains, and he was struggling to break free.
But the chains were dense and endless. Long Chen struggled just a few times before being firmly trapped. The starry sky warrior under Lei Ling'er's command kept swinging his bone whip at the chains, trying to free Long Chen. However, the invincible bone whip shattered with a crash after a few strikes.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
The world trembled, countless paths roared, and the chains squeezed Long Chen's bones so tightly they cracked. At this moment, veins bulged on Long Chen's forehead, his eyes nearly popped out, and he gritted his teeth to resist. At this moment, he couldn't utter a single word; as soon as he spoke, his anger would subside, and he would be crushed to pieces.
"Senior, how could this happen?" Long Chen sent a voice transmission to the Qiankun Cauldron for help.
"Hang in there! As long as we get through this hurdle, everything will be over. This is the chain of destiny, the karma between you and me. It can't be severed, so we can only endure it head-on." The Qiankun Cauldron said, and at this moment, its voice was heavy.
It wanted to help Long Chen, but it couldn't intervene. If it did, it would only increase the karmic effect. For Long Chen, that would be like drinking poison to quench his thirst. Next time the heavenly tribulation was settled, Long Chen would surely die.
"Rumble rumble... The
Qiankun Cauldron spun in the void, its massive body stirring up a vortex spanning billions of miles, stirring the cosmos. The nine heavens changed color, as if apocalyptic.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
Strange sounds echoed across heaven and earth, endless void shattered, and people saw the barriers between heaven and earth. Those transparent barriers exploded with a roar under the pull of the Qiankun Cauldron, and then people felt the power of different laws.
"The laws of the Three Realms have been pulled together." Someone shouted in shock.
Because at that moment, people simultaneously sensed the auras of the Void Spirit Realm, the Phantom Spirit Realm, and the Xuanling Realm. The auras of the three realms merged together, meaning there were no more barriers between them.
No one expected that Long Chen's heavenly tribulation would unite the three realms. Luo Changsheng and the others were both shocked and jealous. They were once peerless prodigies, but now they could only become spectators. That sense of loss made them furious.
"Rumble... The
three realms merged, laws merged and collided with each other. At that moment, all the powerful felt their bodies uncomfortable, and even their own auras became chaotic due to the fusion of the three realms.
"Crack, crack... Countless
cracks appeared in the world, and everyone was terrified.
"Is this world about to explode?" Someone cried out in alarm.
"What level of heavenly tribulation is this? Are they trying to drag everyone in the world down with them?" Someone screamed in despair.
"Don't worry, that guy is about to give out. As soon as he dies, it'll all be over." At that moment, a voice came from afar.
That voice was powerful and powerful. Even though strange noises echoed through the world, the person's voice was not drowned out in the slightest.
His voice carried supreme holy might. Clearly, he was a Saint King-level powerhouse. However, in the Three Realms, such a Saint King level powerhouse should never have appeared.
"Who is it?"
Someone shouted.
"It's the Gate of the Nine Heavens!"
someone exclaimed. People turned their heads to look at it. The massive portal was no longer blurry, but becoming clearer and clearer. The portal became transparent, and behind it, countless figures were moving, but their faces were indistinct.
The voice earlier had come from within the Gate of Nine Heavens. Upon hearing it, Luo Changsheng shouted excitedly:
"Ancestor, is that you?"
"Child, you did very well. You were just a little away from opening the Nine Heavens Gate. Now the most critical moment has arrived. It's all about who can break through this Nine Heavens Gate and become the Child of Destiny." Inside the portal, the voice said.
The Dragonblood warriors heard Luo Changsheng's conversation and felt a chill in their hearts. Guo Ran's expression changed: "So this was all premeditated by them." Yue
Zifeng and the others also wore grave expressions, because at that moment, a soul fluctuation began to emerge from within the Nine Heavens Gate. Clearly, a powerful figure inside was communicating with outsiders using their divine sense.
To pass through the Nine Heavens Gate, divine sense requires at least Saint King-level cultivation, meaning that behind the Nine Heavens Gate lie countless terrifying beings.
And these terrifying beings are all connected to those undergoing tribulation. If the Gate of Nine Heavens opens, then ..., no one dares to think further.
"Boom!"
At that moment, the massive Qiankun Cauldron in the nine heavens suddenly trembled, and everyone hurriedly looked toward Long Chen.
"Boss"
When they saw the situation inside the cauldron, the Dragonblood warriors were furious.
