Chapter 1296: Chapter 1294: First Encounter with Heavenly Tribulation

In less than three seconds, all the experts of the Situ Clan were annihilated by the sword qi of two individuals, leaving only Situ Yuntian and Situ Longfei alive.

Ssss!!

Witnessing this scene, Situ Yuntian gasped sharply, his face turning pale with an extremely grim expression. His eyes were filled with shock.

He hadn’t expected Xiao Yifeng’s group of women to be guarded by so many powerful Celestial Being Realm experts.

Bam!

Due to his momentary distraction, Situ Yuntian was struck by Hei Yaan’s palm and sent flying, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood. Without a trace of hesitation, he turned around and swiftly disappeared into the darkness.

Meanwhile, Situ Longfei was still struggling to fend off Tian Tu’s ferocious storm-like attacks.

"Destroy!"

Tian Tu, wielding the Jiuyou Witch Knife, unleashed his full power and swung out a devastating slash filled with terrifying energy. The Jiuyou Witch Knife radiated intense light, releasing a dreadful aura.

With one blow, he shattered the Spiritual Blade in Situ Longfei’s hand, and the knife struck directly on him, splitting his body in half on the spot. Blood splattered everywhere, even covering Tian Tu’s face.

"Ladies, and Kuang Shi, are you all alright?"

Jian Yun looked at Yan Ruyu and the others with a deeply concerned expression.

"We’re fine, but Jian Yun, you and Cold Edge have improved your strength so quickly. Where did the Young Master take you? In such a short time, your abilities have surpassed Tian Tu’s!"

Kuang Shi looked at Jian Yun and Cold Edge with a face full of amazement.

"The Young Master took the two of us to a Secret Realm where we comprehended many Swordsmanship Profundities and techniques, which is why our strength increased so rapidly. By the way, where is the Young Master? I don’t see him anywhere; is he out again?"

Jian Yun asked Kuang Shi and the others, but their expressions changed, and they fell into silence.

"What’s wrong? Did something happen to the Young Master?"

Jian Yun frowned and asked in a somber tone upon seeing their reactions.

"Let me explain!"

Yan Ruyu summarized the events, and Jian Yun and Cold Edge’s expressions shifted dramatically, emanating a terrifying surge of sword intent.

The sword intent emitted from both of them was like two peerless swords unsheathing—Jian Yun’s aura was sharp and unrestrained, while Cold Edge’s aura was restrained but concealed endless killing intent.

"Who is responsible for this? If something truly happens to the Young Master, I will stop at nothing—even at the cost of my life—to make those responsible pay the ultimate price!"

Jian Yun shouted coldly, his expression ice-cold, his eyes brimming with piercing fury.

"Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. The master said the Young Master will return, so we just need to wait patiently!"

Kuang Shi offered reassurance.

"Alright!"

Jian Yun and Cold Edge both nodded in agreement.

In the room belonging to Little Xue at the manor, the entire space was enveloped in a chilling layer of cold ice, resembling a chamber of frost.

Little Xue sat on a bed covered in ice, her eyes closed tightly. Her expression kept shifting, and the aura radiating from her grew increasingly fearsome.

"Stop struggling. This seal is about to break; it won’t hold me for much longer. When I am freed, I will reclaim my body and utterly annihilate your Second Soul Body!"

A cold and regal female voice, dignified like that of an Empress who dominates the world, resonated from Little Xue’s mind.

"No, I won’t let you out or allow you to take over my body. I need to wait for Brother Little Feeng to return. I will not let you succeed!"

Little Xue’s voice was resolute.

"Hmph, even if that boy is still alive, I will make sure he dies eventually. Anyone who dares defy me, the Ice Emperor, has only one path—death!"

A cold and regal voice once again emerged from within Little Xue’s body.

"I won’t let you hurt Brother Little Feeng!"

Little Xue declared firmly. Closing her eyes tightly, she resumed fighting against the First Soul Body in her body. Clearly, the seal Xiao Yifeng and Long Qian had jointly placed on the First Soul Body was about to fail, allowing the First Soul Body to awaken once more.

Miaojiang, beneath the Forbidden Abyss of the Miao Clan.

In a secluded valley, Xiao Yifeng sat cross-legged in front of a stele, quietly meditating on the Eight Desolate God Fist. From the stele, a continuous stream of powerful energy poured into Xiao Yifeng’s body, tempering his physical strength.

Boom!!

It was unclear how much time had passed when a thunderous sound came from Xiao Yifeng’s body. A terrifying power erupted from him, enveloping the entire valley with his imposing presence.

Xiao Yifeng’s physical strength suddenly leaped from Half-Step Void-Breaking Realm to Void-Breaking Realm, and the remaining half of the Spiritual Liquid in his body was rapidly refined. His cultivation also advanced to the Late Stage of the Celestial Being Realm.

Rumble!!!

At this moment, thunderous sounds echoed across the Void above the ancient battlefield. Dense clouds swiftly gathered as streaks of lightning flashed.

Within the roiling clouds, lightning danced like dragons, exuding an aura of destruction. All the accumulated energy converged above Xiao Yifeng’s head.

"Oh no, what is this?"

Xiao Yifeng’s eyes snapped open as he looked at the bolts of lightning converging over his head. His expression shifted dramatically as he felt danger looming over him.

"How is this possible? His physical breakthrough to Void-Breaking Realm has triggered a Heavenly Tribulation?"

Long Qian’s face was filled with shock, his disbelief evident.

"Kid, be careful! This is Heavenly Tribulation!"

Long Qian quickly warned him.

"Heavenly Tribulation? What’s that supposed to mean?"

Xiao Yifeng’s confusion was written all over his face. At this point, a continuous roar echoed from the Void as a bolt of lightning descended like the Milky Way crashing down, striking Xiao Yifeng’s body at an astonishing speed.

Pfft!

Xiao Yifeng spat out fresh blood on the spot, scorched inside out by the terrifying lightning strike. His hair stood on end, and his body felt unbearably numb, severely injured.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

...

One after another, thunderclaps sounded as the dense lightning clouds over Xiao Yifeng’s head showed no sign of dispersing, seemingly preparing for more strikes.

"Oh come on, more?"

Xiao Yifeng’s face turned pale as he tried to flee, but wherever he moved, the lightning followed.

"Kid, it’s useless. Once a Heavenly Tribulation begins, there’s no way to escape it. You can only endure it!"

Long Qian said flatly.

"Are you saying I’m about to be struck to death?"

Xiao Yifeng looked at the dense lightning cloud above him, his expression utterly grim.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Another barrage of lightning bolts descended, all targeting Xiao Yifeng. He attempted to defend himself but found himself at a loss due to his memory loss, no clue how to resist.

Ah!

As the lightning struck his body, Xiao Yifeng let out a harrowing scream. His face twisted in agony, but the lightning didn’t dissipate immediately after entering his body. Instead, it fused into his cellular structure, beginning to temper his physical form.

PS: To everyone calling me out yesterday, saying I write nonsense and filler—I have only one thing to say. The past two days were all about laying groundwork and foreshadowing, not random rambling. Please take a closer look. I admit the past few days were subdued, but no story spanning millions of words can maintain constant climaxes. Just like in life, no one is always happy every single day; there are ups and downs. I hope you understand (General book discussion group: 467568663, open to all readers VIP subscription group: 647949669).
