Celestial Vault Daoist’s massive hand thrust downward.
The blazing sun instantly devoured the three ink dragons and continued to press down on Xiao Mo and Bai Ruxue. This false sun had already locked firmly onto their auras.
Yet, Xiao Mo appeared completely unfazed.
He simply turned and smiled at the woman beside him. "Ruxue, try Crossing the Tribulation."
"Crossing the Tribulation?" Bai Ruxue blinked.
But it didn’t take long for Bai Ruxue to understand Xiao Mo’s intention.
Judging by their current situation, the chances of her and Xiao Mo fighting their way out were next to none.
But if she could successfully Cross the Tribulation and enter the Ascension Realm, the situation would be entirely different with her and Xiao Mo fighting together.
In other words, this was their only path to survival.
"I understand!" Bai Ruxue nodded solemnly, a hint of nervousness in her eyes.
She didn’t know what her odds of successfully Crossing the Tribulation were.
But Bai Ruxue knew she had to do this, and she had to succeed.
"Don’t overthink it." Xiao Mo smiled. "Just do your best, Ruxue. I believe you will succeed. I’m here."
"Mm!"
Bai Ruxue nodded forcefully, then reverted to her true form and shot straight toward the heavens.
Xiao Mo raised his head, his expression calm as he watched the white figure hurtle toward the blazing sun. His eyes flickered slightly as he whispered, "Ruxue, this ti, it’s truly goodbye."
Then, Xiao Mo reached out and clenched his fists. The three ink dragons that had been devoured by the blazing sun abruptly exploded.
The false sun violently shattered from within.
At the sa ti, Bai Ruxue burst through the searing flas and shot into the sky.
RUMBLE!
A deafening roar that seed to tear the heavens asunder echoed out. Thick, dark clouds began to gather frantically, completely obscuring the real sun.
"Courting death?"
Celestial Vault Daoist’s brow furrowed. He imdiately understood what Bai Ruxue was doing.
Indeed, their only path to survival was for Bai Ruxue to successfully enter the Ascension Realm.
But in Celestial Vault Daoist’s view, with the Dragon Race’s Qi Fortune completely sealed, Bai Ruxue’s chances of a successful Tribulation Crossing were practically impossible.
Nevertheless, Celestial Vault Daoist stepped forward to stop her Tribulation Crossing.
He wasn’t worried about her succeeding. Rather, he was certain that if she failed, she would perish completely, body and soul.
’If that happens, how will I get her Dragon Blood, Dragon Heart, and Dragon Pill?’
However, just as Celestial Vault Daoist attempted to forcefully trap Bai Ruxue, the poetic verse Xiao Mo chanted resounded between heaven and earth like the voice of the Great Dao:
"The Kun Peng soars with the wind in a single day, climbing ninety thousand li into the sky!"
A pair of illusory, giant Kun Peng wings instantly enveloped Bai Ruxue, helping her break free from Celestial Vault Daoist’s restraints and soar straight up into the clouds.
Then, Xiao Mo’s true Dharma Aspect materialized, blocking Celestial Vault Daoist’s path.
"As the earth’s condition is receptive, a Gentleman supports the world with his great virtue!"
As Xiao Mo spoke, a majestic mountain Dharma Aspect bore down on Celestial Vault Daoist.
Celestial Vault Daoist shattered the mountain Dharma Aspect with a single punch, then drew his longsword and slashed at Xiao Mo with killing intent.
Xiao Mo, wielding his Immortal Slayer Sword, t Celestial Vault Daoist’s attack without a trace of fear.
The two Immortal Swords clashed violently again and again. Sharp Sword Qi and raging Spiritual Power blasted outward in all directions, shattering mountain peaks and carving bottomless fissures into the ground.
Rivers and lakes churned violently, sending monstrous waves surging toward the sky.
Countless creatures hid in the shadows, trembling, not daring to take a single step.
RUMBLE!
Another earth-shattering roar ca from the heavens above.
The first massive bolt of the Thunder Tribulation tore through the sky, striking straight down at Bai Ruxue!
Xiao Mo finally let out a small sigh of relief.
’Now that Ruxue has officially begun Crossing the Tribulation, no one will dare interfere with the terrifying Thunder Tribulation of the Ascension Realm!’
At the very mont Bai Ruxue officially began her Tribulation Crossing...
「At the border of the Demon Race’s World.」
An old scholar’s palm dripped with blood. The Jade Scroll he held in his other hand was already showing faint cracks.
Across from the old scholar stood an elderly man leaning on a staff.
These two old n were the strongest experts of their respective worlds, bar none.
They had been locked in a fierce battle here for two days and two nights. For a thousand li around, the landscape was devastated—mountains and rivers shattered, countless rivers buried, and innurable peaks razed to the ground.
Just then, Kong Sheng and the staff-wielding old man looked up at the sky in unison.
High above, an imnse amount of Qi Fortune was continuously converging in a single direction.
A look of surprise appeared in both of their eyes.
It was all Dragon Fortune.
When one of the Flood Dragon Species attempts to Cross the Tribulation and beco a True Dragon, the Qi Fortune of the Dragon Race surges wildly in that direction.
But neither of them had ever seen Dragon Fortune of this magnitude.
"It seems a junior of the Dragon Race is Crossing the Tribulation, and they don’t seem to be a simple one," the staff-wielding old man said with a laugh. "So many years have passed without a single True Dragon appearing in the world. Old scholar, do you think the Dragon Race will succeed this ti?"
"Who knows." Kong Sheng retracted his gaze and slowly drew his Saint Sword. "But, old cripple, I think you’re going to die here."
"That’s not necessarily true. I still have a granddaughter to raise."
Before the words had even faded, Kong Sheng stepped forward. His longsword, wreathed in Vast Righteous Qi, slamd down hard on the old cripple’s staff.
anwhile, ten li away from the two of them, a little white fox was curled up inside a hidden Array, hugging its tail and trembling.
’If it weren’t for the protection of this Array,’ the little fox thought, ’I would have been killed by the aftershocks of that battle who knows how many tis over.’
"Honestly, I said I didn’t want to co, but Grandpa insisted I watch the battle from here," the little white fox grumbled.
She didn’t know why, exactly...
But Grandpa had insisted, so she had no choice.
The little fox could only muster her courage and watch the battle between the Ascension Realm Cultivators.
「anwhile, in the World of Ten Thousand Laws,」
All the Cultivators in the Upper Three Realms felt sothing and looked up in the sa direction at almost the exact sa mont.
The Great Cultivators of the Ascension and Immortal Realms imdiately set out, rushing at full speed toward the place where the Dragon Fortune was gathering.
A Flood Dragon Crossing the Tribulation was no small matter.
If the Flood Dragon ultimately died beneath the Thunder Tribulation, then all would be well.
’But if it truly succeeds in Crossing the Tribulation and becoming a dragon...’
At this thought, their hearts tightened, and a heavy feeling washed over them.
If that happened, even if they managed to ambush and kill the new dragon while it was weakened from the tribulation, the most they could gain would be the True Dragon’s flesh, blood, and Dragon Pill.
Although those were all priceless treasures, the seal on the Dragon Race’s Qi Fortune would finally be broken.
At that point, more and more of the Flood Dragon Species would attempt to Cross the Tribulation, and they would be truly powerless to stop them.
And given the enmity between the Dragon Race and the World of Ten Thousand Laws, the situation would beco dire.
