Chapter 2485 Enter Divine Tribulation Mountain, Tribulation Lord"s Intention, All Tribulation Has Its Pattern
The lightning tribulation at the Divine Tribulation Mountain was extremely powerful.
Not even an Overlord could get through it easily.
Only someone as powerful as the captain of the Forbidden Guards could go in, but there were only a few of him in the Infiniverse.
Hence, everyone simply a.s.sumed that the white-robed figure who headed toward the wall of lightning tribulation would end up dead.
Chu Kuangren, however, was not bothered by what they thought. He walked toward the wall and looked at it calmly.
The lightning tribulation rumbled violently as if it had sensed Chu Kuangren"s arrival.
The lightning gathered into a lively dragon head and stared at Chu Kuangren.
"Roar!"
As it roared, it lunged toward Chu Kuangren.
The unparalleled aura caught Chu Kuangren and drowned him whole.
"He"s dead."
The other cultivators were certain that Chu Kuangren would be devoured alive.
However, the scene that happened next shocked everyone.
Chu Kuangren pointed his sword hand sign at the dragon and attacked the dragon head.
The sword ray shone brightly, brighter than the bolts of lightning.
When the dragon head and slash clashed, instead of a terrifying explosion, the void was distorted.
The distorted void created a black hole that sucked the dragon away.
It was rather quiet for a clash of that size, but it was not the noise that made it terrifying.
After the sword ray eliminated the dragon, it carried on with an indomitable force and struck the wall of lightning tribulation. Everywhere it went, it wrapped the lightning tribulation with intense spatial energy and tore a huge crack in the center.
The slash was as powerful as Tian Lu"s slash.
It was so ridiculously powerful that it rendered everyone speechless.
It was not until Chu Kuangren entered the wall of lightning tribulation that the cultivators regained their composure. They were deeply impressed and astonished by Chu Kuangren"s power.
"W-Who is he?" someone asked as he gulped nervously.
"No idea. I have never seen him before."
"It seems like we"ve been in Naraka for too long. We didn"t even know such an amazing cultivator existed in the outside world." Someone shook his head with a sigh.
Some of the swordsmen recalled the slash that Chu Kuangren released and showed utmost admiration. They believed what they saw was the peak of Sword Dao. …
Inside the tribulation wall, which was also the foot of the entire mountain, Chu Kuangren felt an amazing power descending from the sky, enveloping him whole.
The power then transformed into the purest energy that entered his body. It was strong enough to allow a Monarch to reach the next major cultivation realm.
Although it was a huge opportunity to the others, to Chu Kuangren and people like him, it was nothing stellar.
He was more interested in meeting the Tribulation Lord.
With that in mind, he flew toward the palace at the mountain peak.
Inside the grand and mysterious palace, a middle-aged man with violet hair was sitting on a throne.
The man was surrounded by tribulation light, his eyes were sharp, and he exuded a stern aura.
He was the Tribulation Lord, the ancient one who controlled the tribulations and disasters of the universe.
Before him stood a man in black robes — Tian Lu.
Tian Lu"s aura was cold.
His gray eyes looked colder than the freezing blizzard that could make one feel despaired.
However, Tian Lu instinctively put away that side of him and showed his respect to the Tribulation Lord.
The man was one of the oldest and strongest beings who could rival the G.o.d Emperor.
No one should or could be arrogant before him, not even Tian Lu.
"Tribulation Lord."
"I know why you"re here. Go tell G.o.d Prince that I will not partic.i.p.ate in this Infinity War as well," Tribulation Lord said.
Due to certain concerns, he had never joined the Infinity War.
Tian Lu breathed a sigh of relief when he got an answer. He continued, "Tribulation Lord, you"re one of the strongest beings in the Infiniverse. If you can join us and a.s.sist the G.o.d Emperor, we can accelerate the process of returning the universe back to its primal state. I believe it would benefit you as well."
The Tribulation Lord was also one of the Primal G.o.ds.
If the universe reverted to its primal state and the Source returned, the Tribulation Lord would surely benefit.
"I said I would not partic.i.p.ate in Infinity War, no matter what benefits you offer me or how the war would end. I"m not interested. Stop wasting your time," the Tribulation Lord said.
Then, he looked at the void strangely.
"Your affair here is done. Leave."
"Tribulation Lord…"
Tian Lu wanted to ask another question, but the tribulation light caught him instantly, and he was blasted out of the palace.
When he regained his consciousness, he was already out of the Divine Tribulation Mountain.
"He"s powerful."
Tian Lu was shocked. He was one of the strongest Overlords around, yet he could not take one hit from the Tribulation Lord.
It took the Tribulation Lord one thought to send him out of the mountain, and he could not even resist or stop it.
"That explains why he could hurt the G.o.d Emperor," Tian Lu murmured.
Just when he decided to leave with the update, he heard the other cultivators talking about something.
"Who is that young man? He broke the lightning tribulation and seems stronger than the captain of the Forbidden Guards."
Tian Lu stopped in his tracks. Someone else other than him had entered the Divine Tribulation Mountain?
Who could it be? Tian Lu was curious, so he continued to listen.
White robes, human, and wielding a sword — all the criteria reminded him of someone.
"Other than Chu Kuangren, I can"t think of any human who is strong enough to enter the Divine Tribulation Mountain. The Tribulation Lord sent me away when he arrived. Were they going to meet? How are they connected?"
Tian Lu"s expression turned grim.
Like Chu Kuangren, he was also afraid that the Tribulation Lord would take the other side.
"Come out," the Tribulation Lord said.
Chu Kuangren was not surprised that the Tribulation Lord noticed him.
"For you to be able to hide from Tian Lu without getting noticed, you must have used the human race"s Heavenly Human Art. I believe not even the technique"s creator can use this technique as well as you."
"Oh? Tribulation Lord, you"ve heard of the Heavenly Human Art?"
"I saw the Heavenly Human Sanctuary"s forefather when he ascended. Or more precisely, I"ve seen all cultivators who ascend, including you. You might be the first one I intervened with," the Tribulation Lord said.
Chu Kuangren was struck with realization. "I see. When I ascended through the Hongmeng Primordial Tribulation, the ancient figure I saw was you."
"You"re right."
"In that case, I have to thank you for sparing me, or I might already be ashes," Chu Kuangren said with a smile.
"All tribulations have their own pattern. I might be the Tribulation Lord, but I"m also doing a job with regulations and law.
"Is that so? In that case, why did you guide me here?" Chu Kuangren revealed the black compa.s.s
