Chapter 351: The East Barrens Was Shaken
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The sea of lightning flooded the void and filled every corner of it. At this moment, it was as if a supreme deity was closely controlling everything. Bolts of thunder danced, each possessing the terrifying power to tear apart the void and illuminate the darkness. The blood-colored lightning coalesced into a divine kingdom of thunder, with an aura of destruction permeating it.
The countless living beings in the distant East Barrens all opened their eyes at this moment and gazed in the direction of the w.a.n.g family.
“That is… That’s the direction of the w.a.n.g family!”
“The w.a.n.g family…is going to have a saint again?”
“As expected of the w.a.n.g family! Yet another Saint Realm powerhouse has been born!”
“Hiss… I’m afraid the w.a.n.g family will become even more glorious in the future!”
“With such a major event, we should naturally go observe and offer congratulations.”
“Let’s go together.”
Many experts from various factions leaped up at this moment, transforming into beams of divine light that tore through the heavens as they flew swiftly toward the w.a.n.g family.
At the same time, in a secret chamber of the w.a.n.g family, a tall, black-haired man slowly opened his eyes. He gazed at the void before him and whispered, “Still nothing?”
His aura was abnormally powerful, permeating the void and causing others to feel intimidated. But deep in his eyes, there was a hint of frustration.
Not long ago, with the destruction of the Spirit Race, Su Chen’s reputation had spread across the entire East Barrens. Even in the Central Plains, legends of Su Chen existed.
At the same time, the news that Qin Yuan wanted to fight Su Chen and Qin Hao had also spread.
Aside from these two major events, there was another matter of great importance that could not be ignored. Qin Ziteng, the Patriarch of the Qin family, had already become a saint! Moreover, there were even rumors that the emperor of Dashang had secretly become a saint! In fact, the emperor of Dashang had become a saint even earlier than Qin Ziteng!
As soon as this news spread, many Holy Lords and Imperial Lords among the various factions felt a sense of urgency. The moment this news emerged, the emperor of the Dasui Empire chose to undergo his Saint Tribulation! He had attracted six Saint Tribulations and successfully became a saint.
This news once again swept across the entire East Barrens. Now, the older generation were all on high alert and began choosing to become saints one after another.
Those who had yet to sense their Saint Tribulation were even more anxious. After all, others of the same generation had all become saints, while only they remained stuck in place. Aside from disparities in talent, no one could think of a second possibility for this.
The Patriarch of the w.a.n.g family was one such existence. The moment he heard of Qin Ziteng becoming a saint, he had entered into secluded cultivation. Yet until now, he still had not sensed the Saint Tribulation.
The reason why the older generation had not attempted the tribulation in the past was because they wanted to consolidate their foundations first.
As for why he chose not to attempt it… It was truly because he could not detect the Saint Tribulation at all, and had no way to attempt it!
Just as the w.a.n.g family Patriarch was secretly growing anxious, suddenly…
Boom!
Terrifying rumbling sounds shook the void. At this moment, the w.a.n.g family’s ancestral lands also began to quake. The thousands of divine mountains belonging to the w.a.n.g family now seemed on the verge of collapse.
Countless existences in seclusion opened their eyes, looking out at the external world with alarmed expressions. At the limits of their vision, endless dark clouds were currently converging over there. Innumerable lightning dragons pierced through the heavens and earth, causing their hearts to palpitate violently. Even though they were so far away, and blocked by the grand formations, it still imparted a sensation that great calamity was imminent.
This is… The Saint Tribulation?” The w.a.n.g family Patriarch’s expression changed. His face instantly darkened.
As the leader of this imperial clan, he had been unable to detect his own Saint Tribulation even until now. Yet at present… Someone was actually transcending their tribulation! This was no different than a slap to his face! Soon, however, a look of delight appeared on his face.
The location where this person was transcending tribulation was very close to the w.a.n.g family. If nothing unexpected occurred, it should be one of the w.a.n.g family’s elders.
After all, outsiders would not dare to choose a place near the w.a.n.g family to undergo their tribulation. The w.a.n.g family’s reputation was no laughing matter. What if they accidentally injured someone from the w.a.n.g family? When questioned by the w.a.n.g family later, even if one became a saint, they still could not withstand the w.a.n.g family’s wrath.
“I wonder which elder has become a saint?” The w.a.n.g family Patriarch was extremely curious.
He was certain that among their w.a.n.g family, none of the peers from his generation possessed talents exceeding his own. After all, if someone’s talents surpa.s.sed his, that person would have become the w.a.n.g family Patriarch instead of him.
But no matter how hard he wracked his brain, he couldn’t come up with a reason. So, he decided to stop thinking about it altogether. He stood up and walked towards the outside. Whoever it was, he would find out when he went outside!
His w.a.n.g family had gained an additional Saint Realm powerhouse – this was a huge matter! No matter what, as the family leader, he still had to go out and preside over the situation. He estimated that the heavenly tribulation would completely end soon.
By that time… There would probably be many experts from large factions rushing over to offer congratulations. If he, as the family leader, did not make an appearance, it wouldn’t be easy to explain this situation.
Tens of thousands of li away from the w.a.n.g family, an elder from the Spirit Sword Holy Land was the first to arrive. This was a young-looking elder, with a very youthful complexion. However, his eyes carried a profound sense of age, as if he had witnessed the ever-changing world.
He had sped over and was the first to reach the w.a.n.g family. Actually, he had no other choice. Their Spirit Sword Holy Land had declined far too precipitously in recent years.
Decline was one thing, but the key issue was their proximity to the imposing presence of the w.a.n.g family. This caused them endless worry. If they accidentally offended the w.a.n.g family one day, the latter might directly take action to annihilate them completely.
Now, another Saint Realm powerhouse had appeared in the w.a.n.g family. Whether he came to offer congratulations or to probe the strength of this new saint, he should have been the first to arrive.
“These…These are the nine Saint Tribulations?” The moment the Spirit Sword Holy Land’s elder appeared at the outer perimeter of the heavenly tribulations, his heart instantly sank. It could be said that his heart plunged straight to the bottom, and his entire being froze in place.
The w.a.n.g family had always been extremely powerful. Now, another existence transcending nine Saint Tribulations had emerged from them. This practically pushed their Spirit Sword Holy Land to the brink of annihilation!
With the current decline in their strength, the moment this tribulation-transcending person from the w.a.n.g family became a saint, he would likely gain the terrifying strength needed to destroy their Spirit Sword Holy Land effortlessly.
After all, their Spirit Sword Holy Land only had one or two Saint Realm experts remaining. Moreover, they were saints who had only overcome one or two Saint Tribulations. When compared to a saint who had overcome nine, there was no basis for comparison whatsoever.
At this moment, the elder from the Spirit Sword Holy Land even hoped that the tribulation-transcending person would be annihilated within the heavenly tribulations.
But now it seemed that the outcome was destined to disappoint him.
Although he could not make out the appearance of the person undergoing tribulations, he could clearly see the figure standing tall amidst the tribulations, without any defenses, yet able to withstand countless bolts of lightning through his physical body alone.
Such an appalling situation was truly unbelievable. Yet the facts were right before his eyes, forcing him to feel shock.
To be able to withstand the heavenly lightning through pure physical toughness… For such a person, overcoming nine Saint Tribulations should be no issue..
