Chapter 1032: Chapter 0611: Both Emperors Moved_2 Chapter 1032: Chapter 0611: Both Emperors Moved_2 The wind blades formed by the Tribulation Wind were incredibly fast, but the Transporting Whirlwinds were also not slow. Under Qi Tian’s command, each Transporting Whirlwind entangled a wind blade, not like when they were pulling and tugging at the Tribulation Thunder continuously, but instead waiting for the right moment to fiercely collide with the side of a wind blade.

After being struck by the Transporting Whirlwinds, without exception, all the wind blades changed direction, crashing down pell-mell onto the magnificent structures of the palace on the ground. In an instant, the nearby Wenzhi Palace and the distant Chaoyang Palace were out of luck, as building after building was cut down by these wind blades, collapsing thunderously into ruins.

After knocking all these wind blades away, the Transporting Whirlwinds quickly assembled above Qi Tian’s head into a tight interception net.

Soon, the Tribulation Thunder that followed the wind blades began to fall, their power unchanged, still moving in straight lines, only this time there was one more than before, allowing Qi Tian, who had already seen through all this, to let the interception net formed by the Transporting Whirlwinds firmly block their path.

All seven Tribulation Thunders entered the interception net without exception. Qi Tian divided them into two groups; the first group had three Thunders, leaving the other group with four. The first group of Thunders were pulled by the Transporting Whirlwinds into the black hole in Qi Tian’s palm and into the empty storage chamber of the Heavenly Dao Engine.

Qi Tian had been somewhat worried about whether the Heavenly Dao Engine could withstand four Tribulation Thunders at the same time, but he soon found out that after the ascension of the Heavenly Dao Engine, its capacity to withstand the Thunders had significantly increased. Originally, it could barely manage two Thunders, but now that Qi Tian sent in three, the Heavenly Dao Engine not only endured them but seemed to have spare capacity.

Qi Tian was overjoyed. He had been thinking about drawing in more Tribulation Thunders, but the second group of Transporting Whirlwinds had already pulled the other four onto the palaces of Chaoyang Palace, turning the main hall into ruins. If Qi Tian wanted to send more Tribulation Thunders to the Heavenly Dao Engine, he would have to wait for the next wave of Heavenly Tribulation.

Qi Tian became somewhat impatient. The promotion of the Heavenly Dao Engine enabled him to deal with these tribulations far beyond the ordinary with ease. He had turned from being the target of the Heavenly Tribulation into the one targeting it. If the heavens had feelings, they would probably be fuming with rage at Qi Tian by now.

The eighth wave of Heavenly Tribulation was not quick to arrive. Seemingly aware that Qi Tian was not easy to deal with, it began to brew a new offensive. Qi Tian seized the moment and hurriedly flew from Yonghe Palace to the skies above Chaoyang Palace. He had used the Heavenly Dao Engine to locate the Treasure Pavilion of Chaoyang Palace, and he was now very close to Chaoyang Palace. He had calculated that to breach the Defense Magic Array of the Treasure Pavilion, at least five Tribulation Thunders were needed – six for a sure bet.

Qi Tian was somewhat reluctant. According to the pattern so far, the upcoming eighth wave should only bring down eight Tribulation Thunders. The Heavenly Dao Engine could swallow three to four Thunders at once, leaving only about four Thunders, insufficient to break the Defensive Array of the Treasure Pavilion. This made him somewhat dissatisfied, and he was even pondering if he should somehow make the heavens drop a few more Thunders when it was his turn, otherwise, there wouldn’t be enough.

This time, the Heavenly Tribulation took a slightly longer time to brew. Of course, this length was only longer relative to the interval between the previous waves of Tribulation, but in reality, this period was still very short, not even a minute.

If it were someone else, this brief moment would at most be spent frantically consuming a few medicinal pills and then slightly dispersing the medicinal power to recover a bit from their injured body before facing the increasingly fierce Heavenly Tribulation. But for Qi Tian, there was no issue at all; on the contrary, he was eager for the Heavenly Tribulation to hurry up and descend so that he could split open the Defense Magic Array of the Treasure Pavilion of Chaoyang Palace as soon as possible.

At this moment, outside Eastern Capital City, the Princes observing Qi Tian’s tribulation were in an uproar. None of them had anticipated that Qi Tian would successively withstand seven waves of Heavenly Tribulation. The first six had already left them trembling in fear, especially during the sixth wave when six tribulation thunders struck down concurrently. Any one of them, if in Qi Tian’s position, would have either perished or been gravely injured, yet Qi Tian not only held on but soon after faced the test of the seventh wave of Heavenly Tribulation.

What took these Princes by surprise even more was that the seventh wave of Heavenly Tribulation added Tribulation Wind on top of the tribulation thunders, turning it into a certain-death situation. Any one of them would not have survived unscathed, but against all odds, Qi Tian remained entirely unharmed.

Enveloped by the Tribulation Clouds, everything was pitch black, and they couldn’t see anything clearly. It was only when the tribulation thunders struck that they could barely follow their flash to make out a little of what was happening. Whether Qi Tian was dead or alive during the whole process was invisible to them. However, they couldn’t see Qi Tian, but they could see the Tribulation Clouds that lingered over Eastern Capital City for a long time, indicating that the person undergoing tribulation hadn’t perished.

Emperor Jianwu stood shoulder to shoulder with Huoyang Emperor, gazing at the persistent Tribulation Clouds. Admiration filled the gaze of Huoyang Emperor, and he said, “In my life, I have never admired anyone, but I have to admit, I am impressed by this Qi Tian. His talent is simply too great, he has even aroused the jealousy of the heavens. And the key is, the heavens can’t do anything to him. Someone like him, growing up, will have boundless prospects. I’d bet that one day he’ll definitely ascend to be a Nascent Soul Master, and move ahead of us.”

Emperor Jianwu’s expression was equally complex. He had never had much faith in Qi Tian, his master, but now, no matter how many concerns he had or thoughts spinning in his head, witnessing Qi Tian’s performance forced him to also inwardly admit defeat. Qi Tian, at such a young age, was able to withstand even the tribulations that he himself could not bear. Such a master would surely achieve greatness in the future. Serving such a master as an Immortal Slave, it seemed that he, the former Emperor of Great Zhao Nation, could accept that.

In the Cultivation World, everything is based on strength. Serving as an Immortal Slave to a powerful individual and an ordinary person results in entirely different feelings. Emperor Jianwu could never accept his master as an ordinary person, but should his master be powerful, someone that can achieve what others couldn’t, that would make a world of difference to how he feels.

Emperor Jianwu stared toward the direction of Jianwu Palace and said, “Huoyang, you must not forget the agreement between the two of us. With Qi Tian performing so remarkably, it’s nearly certain he will be targeted. You and I must stand together, not behind Qi Tian, but in front of him, protecting him from adversity. Anyone who dares to touch Qi Tian will have to get through us first.”

After pondering for a moment, Huoyang Emperor nodded his head. His original intention was to stand as a support for Qi Tian with Emperor Jianwu, but seeing Qi Tian’s performance now, it was clear that just being a support would not suffice; they needed the resolution to shelter Qi Tian from adversity. Huoyang Emperor would normally not agree to such a thing for an ordinary person, but like Emperor Jianwu, he also preferred to stand with the strong. Undoubtedly impressed by Qi Tian’s performance, he was willing to bet on Qi Tian at this moment, hoping to tie his interests to Qi Tian’s. That way, as Qi Tian grew, there might be benefits for him as well.

Huoyang Emperor and Emperor Jianwu quickly reached an agreement that both could accept. As they negotiated here, the other Princes were also communicating with each other, discussing how to handle this unexpected situation.
