Chapter 1090: Chapter 1090: Heavenly Tribulation (Fourth Update)

Three days later, at the grand hall of the Dragon God Palace.

"Hall Master, the time is nearly upon us, when do you plan to ascend?" Tianxianzi asked solemnly, his gaze fixed on Feng Wuchen.

Feng Wuchen mused for a moment and replied indifferently, "In a few more days, perhaps. Xiao Xiao has not fully stabilized her True God Realm yet, and besides, the timing of ascension is not for me to decide. I sense something is calling out to me, and that feeling is growing stronger by the day. Furthermore, this summons is exceedingly unusual – it even makes me feel a sense of danger unlike anything I have ever experienced before."

"That is the Heavenly Tribulation." Wild Panther’s voice came from outside the grand hall.

"Heavenly Tribulation?" Feng Wuchen’s brow slightly furrowed as he looked toward the hall entrance.

"That’s right, your cultivation has reached the peak of the Mainland and can rise no further. Upon reaching a certain period, you will face the Heavenly Tribulation, which hasn’t appeared in the Mainland for many years now," Wild Panther’s voice carried on.

"What exactly is the Heavenly Tribulation?" Ye Tianwei asked curiously, and everyone else appeared very curious.

The term "Heavenly Tribulation" was unheard of to them.

"It is the punishment from the heavens. Ling Xuzi once mentioned that to ascend to the Heavenly Realm, one must pass through the Heavenly Tribulation. Cultivation itself is an act against the natural order, and only by enduring the Heavenly Tribulation can one ascend and gain even greater power," explained Wild Panther.

"Heavenly Tribulation, I see," Feng Wuchen nodded slightly, "Ascension is indeed no easy matter."

"Indeed, the Heavenly Tribulation comes in three kinds. The first kind is the Forty-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, fearsomely powerful, with four strikes descending upon us. Even those in the True God Realm can hardly withstand it, and this is the least powerful one."

"What? Even the True God Realm can hardly withstand it? How on earth can one then ascend?" Chi Huang trembled all over, his face turning pale.

"Even the weakest one is this terrifying?" The Divine Soul exclaimed, having swallowed his saliva in fear.

"With such terrifying Heaven Rank Tribulation, facing it is akin to courting death," Leng Mucheng exclaimed in shock and fear.

"If you defy the heavens with your cultivation, you must bear heaven’s punishment," Wild Panther’s voice announced.

"The second kind is the Sixty-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, several times more powerful than the first. It consists of six strikes, each more formidable than the last. Ling Xuzi said that many True God Realm powerhouses have turned to ash under the Sixty-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, none able to withstand the sixth strike," Wild Panther continued.

"Hiss..."

Hearing the dread of the Sixty-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, Zhang Junlan and the others couldn’t help but inhale a breath of cold air, unable to even imagine it.

"Turned to ash?" Tianxianzi too was so frightened that his old face lost composure.

"With such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation, who could withstand it? Facing it is simply a death sentence," Dong Zhantian said with a trembling voice, filled with fear for the Heavenly Tribulation.

"The third kind is the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, the most dreadful of all. It consists of nine strikes, and it is said that no one has ever survived it. I am not completely sure of the details, just what Ling Xuzi told me," Wild Panther’s voice reached them again.

Upon hearing this, Feng Wuchen furrowed his brows deeply in shock, "The Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulation has never been survived by anyone?"

Feng Wuchen couldn’t imagine just how frightful the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulation could be.

"If one cannot overcome the Sixty-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, let alone the Ninety-Nine," Yi Tianqing said with a face full of horror, unable to fathom the terror of the Heavenly Tribulation.

The faces of the people in the grand hall were all stricken with fear, their complexions pale.

"Has anybody ever passed the Sixty-Nine Heavenly Tribulation?" Han Kun asked with a frown.

"I don’t know. Ling Xuzi never mentioned it to me. But since the Sixty-Nine and Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulations exist, there surely must be someone who has successfully crossed them," Wild Panther’s voice came once more.

"How terrifying must a powerhouse be to survive the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulation?" Zhang Junlan and the others had stunned expressions, increasingly frightened and shocked.

"Precisely because the Heavenly Tribulation is extremely fearsome, one must make full preparations before attempting to overcome it, to ensure that one can withstand its power," Wild Panther’s voice came through.

"The Forty-Nine Heavenly Tribulation should not be a threat to me, but this sense of danger in my heart suggests that it may be the Sixty-Nine or even the most dreadful Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulation," Feng Wuchen secretly worried.

"To ascend to the Heavenly Realm, one must endure the Heavenly Tribulation; no one can avoid it," Wild Panther said.

The words of Wild Panther struck everyone like a thunderclap, the existence of the Heavenly Tribulation was beyond their imagination.

The terror of the Heavenly Tribulation made them feel powerless, filling their hearts with dread towards it.

"The power of the Forty-Nine Heavenly Tribulation is the weakest, but with my current level of cultivation, I am probably not able to contend with it," Wild Panther’s voice continued.

"What? Even with your level of cultivation, you can’t withstand the Forty-Nine Heavenly Tribulation?" Bai Mie was greatly astonished, his eyes nearly popping out.

"No... No way? You can’t even withstand the Forty-Nine Heavenly Tribulation?" Lei Tianjue was almost frightened into fainting, his face full of disbelief.

"How is this possible..." Chi Huang was completely terrified, they all knew too well how formidable Wild Panther was.

"Is the Forty-Nine Heavenly Tribulation that fearsome?" Feng Wuchen frowned again.

Wild Panther has now stepped into the True God Realm, his strength unbelievably fearsome, yet even such formidable power seemed unable to contend with the Forty-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.

"I have only recently entered the True God Realm and naturally cannot contend with the Forty-Nine Heavenly Tribulation; it will probably take several more years of cultivation before I can confront it," Wild Panther said.

"Teacher, with the Heavenly Tribulation being so terrifying, how can we ascend?" Zhang Junlan asked Feng Wuchen with a face full of horror.

"To become stronger, we must face it head-on. Isn’t cultivation all about becoming stronger? What about the Heavenly Tribulation? Fate is determined by the heavens, but effort is up to us. I am determined to overcome the tribulation; who can stop me?" Feng Wuchen said dominantly, clenching his fists. No matter what kind of Heavenly Tribulation, Feng Wuchen would give his all and never back down.

"The Hall Master is right. We must confront the Heavenly Tribulation. Either we die, or we transform and ascend; no matter what kind of Heavenly Tribulation, we must persevere," Ye Tianwei declared resolutely.

"Indeed! We have come through so much life and death; what is there to fear from the Heavenly Tribulation? Once we step into the True God Realm, we might not be defeated by the Heavenly Tribulation," Lin You confidently said.

"The Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulation is exceedingly rare. Since the Primordial Ancient times, as Ling Xuzi said, it has only appeared once, and the Sixty-Nine is also extremely rare. Most are the Forty-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, so, we still have hope," Wild Panther’s voice came once more.

Wild Panther’s words undoubtedly gave everyone a glimmer of hope.

"Feng Wuchen, the Forty-Nine Heavenly Tribulation should not pose a problem for you," Wild Panther said.

Feng Wuchen shook his head slightly and said, "I’m afraid it’s not that simple. The fact that I can sense a dangerous aura suggests it might be the Sixty-Nine Heavenly Tribulation."

As time passed day by day, the moment of the tribulation drew closer, and the call in Feng Wuchen’s heart grew stronger and stronger.

As the time to transcend the tribulation neared, despite clear skies, there would often be thunderous roars and flashes of lightning dragons.

The countless cultivators across the Mainland were extremely puzzled by this strange natural phenomenon, as if humans had done something wrong and had enraged the heavens.

The thunderous roars and the flashing lightning dragons were filled with endless oppressive force, rendering people powerless to resist.

This was a sign of the impending Heavenly Tribulation.
