Chapter 46: Ten Saints Facing the Tribulation (Part 1)

Boom!

Above the Tomb of the Battle Saint King within Godfall Ridge, a thunderclap shattered the gloomy sky. Yin clouds spanning six thousand miles instantly merged, radiating calamitous light in infinite measure as they brewed the Divine Thunder of Great Annihilation.

A heavy, celestial aura pressed down across the entire six-thousand-mile radius.

Roar!

Unlike those on Mount Taicang, the ancient ferocious beasts within Godfall Ridge lifted their heads and bellowed toward the heavens. Their roars carried unyielding defiance, as if challenging the very sky itself.

A figure darted swiftly through Godfall Ridge.

It was none other than the Myriad Phenomena Saint.

After parting with Ye Hongchen, the Myriad Phenomena Saint had ventured into Godfall Ridge alone. He seemed intimately familiar with its dangers, navigating its perils with tense caution yet emerging unscathed. Clearly, this was not his first journey here. When he had entered Heaven’s Secret Pavilion earlier, Ye Xu already knew the Myriad Phenomena Saint had come to Godfall Ridge — and survived.

This time, he had infiltrated Godfall Ridge for a singular purpose: eliminating Lu Fengming.

"Someone within Godfall Ridge is facing a saintly heavenly tribulation?" The Myriad Phenomena Saint’s surprise flickered. He murmured to himself, "Which ancient clan’s master has achieved sainthood?"

Yet, he wasn’t overly astonished. Based on his knowledge, Godfall Ridge’s ancient clans possessed unfathomably deep reserves of power. Even quasi-emperors dwelled within its bounds.

The clouds of tribulation gathering above this figure spanned a mere six thousand miles. They paled before Ye Hongchen’s tribulation clouds, proving the subject was nothing but a minor entity.

Had Elder Huang known of the Myriad Phenomena Saint’s thoughts, he might have sobbed aloud. For him, becoming a saint embodied his life’s ultimate struggle.

"Best to leave this alone," the Myriad Phenomena Saint resolved, his expression hardening as he rubbed a blue jade pendant in his hand.

His urgent priority remained securing external forces to slay Lu Fengming. Only with matters in the Southern Wilderness concluded could he set his mind at ease and embark for the Sea of All Realms to seek Lin Qianmo.

The Myriad Phenomena Saint melted back into the shadows.

…

"The heavenly tribulation has descended?"

Elder Huang steeled himself. He’d witnessed the terrifying power of a saintly tribulation at Mount Taicang. Given that his own tribulation paled before that of the Southern Wilderness’s recent saint, it shouldn’t pose great threat.

Crack!

The first bolt of the heavenly tribulation struck down.

The protective formation guarding the Tomb of the Battle Saint disintegrated, but the lightning’s power shattered with it—weakened drastically. Elder Huang easily deflected the initial Divine Thunder of Great Annihilation.

Then came the second strike.

Boom!

By the fourth Divine Thunder, Elder Huang’s face darkened.

This heavenly tribulation’s power was terrifyingly fierce. Before it even descended, cracks like a spider’s web appeared in the void. The dreadful aura of the Dao of heaven enveloped every single place.

Whoosh!

Immense divine power interwove with the Dao’s principles, transforming into an Oblivion Calamity. It swept clean the Tomb of the Battle Saint in a single blow, leaving behind only the body of the Battle Saint King and the small Bodhi tree.

Elder Huang stood fearless, pouring all his strength into activating a sacred spear. Yet the heroic battle intent accumulated within his sea of consciousness suddenly began to transform.

Elder Huang became like a war god incarnate, his battle intent soaring to the heavens as he challenged the firmament.

Hum!

Suddenly, the Battle Saint King beside him stirred. His eyes opened, seeming to contain worlds collapsing. The Divine Axe that could Split the Sky emitted a clear, resonant hum.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The arm of the Battle Saint King moved, dislodging a layer of dust from the armor, which gleamed brilliantly once more.

Boom!

Though dead, the Battle Saint King’s battle intent remained unquenched. Stoked by Elder Huang’s own fighting spirit, his obsession was ignited. Grasping the divine axe, he strode skyward, swinging the axe fiercely towards the Divine Thunder of Great Annihilation.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

With that single swing, the Battle Saint King cleaved through the Divine Thunder of Great Annihilation.

But in that same instant, the Divine Thunder of Great Annihilation struck him back. Inch by inch, the Battle Saint King’s physical form crumbled, his armor shattered fragment by fragment.

Only the battle intent remained eternal and undying.

A quarter of an hour later, the Divine Thunder of Great Annihilation was utterly shattered by the Battle Saint King.

Finally, the Saint King who had battled throughout his lifetime fell.

Clang! The divine axe clattered to the ground, its divine light dimming.

"This…"

Elder Huang was dumbfounded. The Battle Saint King had actually revived, shielding him from that bolt of heavenly thunder. For a moment, Elder Huang was both ecstatic with relief and laden with sorrow.

The very last trace of this Saint King’s existence in the world had been utterly erased.

"What virtue do I, this old man, possess…" Tears streamed down Elder Huang’s wrinkled face.

He understood that the only reason the Battle Saint King had acted was because his, Elder Huang’s, battle intent had resonated with the Saint King’s lingering obsession. That was why this Saint King, even in death, raised his axe against the heavens.

The more he understood this, the deeper Elder Huang’s grief burrowed.

"Senior, your legacy, I shall inherit it."

Elder Huang declared solemnly, "Tested in a hundred battles, the heart remains undying. Swords leveled, steeds readied, battle intent rising to Lingxiao."

"Kill!"

Elder Huang gripped the divine axe, focused his battle intent upon it, and lashed out with a strike towards the heavens.

Boom!

Six thousand li of clouds of tribulation coalesced instantly, morphing into a phantom heart sword that stabbed into the depths of Elder Huang’s Dao heart.

Yet, merely breaths later, Elder Huang shattered the tribulation brought by the inner demons.

Having consumed the Bodhi seed, he no longer feared the mischief of inner demons.

Next moment.

The powers of heaven and earth poured down, and Elder Huang also fell into a crisis of merging with the Dao.

One hour.

Two hours.

After a full three days, Elder Huang finally emerged from the trap of merging with the Dao.

The clouds of tribulation had already dispersed.

He had become a true Saint.

Elder Huang held the divine axe in his hand, and a profound technique appeared in his mind.

Battle Divine Skills!

The cultivation method of this technique was extremely special, gathering battle intent to fuel battle with battle itself.

The stronger the battle intent, the greater the strength became.

Theoretically, the Battle Divine Skills had no limit and no cultivation restrictions; even an ordinary person could reach an extremely powerful state as long as their Dao heart was resilient enough.

However, the Battle Divine Skills only included the cultivation method up to the Saint King level.

As for the great sage level, there was no record of it.

"This seems to be a technique created by the Battle Saint King himself…" Elder Huang murmured.

"This journey was not in vain."

Elder Huang looked excited.

He not only obtained a saint king divine weapon and a saint king level heart technique but also broke his inner demons and attained the Saint level all at once.

Ye Xu, Ao Lie, and the Battle Saint King were all his great benefactors.

Especially Ye Xu; in his view, without Ye Xu’s guidance, he would have had almost no chance of becoming a Saint during his lifetime.

"I must leave as soon as possible."

Elder Huang felt a chill in his heart.

He collected the skeleton of the Battle Saint King and prepared to take it out of Godfall Ridge for a proper burial.

Crack!

When he walked out of the Tomb of the Battle Saint, in the exact east direction, the sky suddenly changed from gloomy to oppressive, the clouds of tribulation stirred the heavens, and the aura of the Dao of heaven was thick.

"Huh?"

Elder Huang’s eyes twitched, "Are there still cultivators in Godfall Ridge?"

"Judging by this display, it also seemed like they were about to undergo the saintly heavenly tribulation."

For Elder Huang who had just survived the heavenly tribulation, this display was very familiar.

Clearly, it was the saintly heavenly tribulation.

However, what puzzled Elder Huang was that, other than himself, there were actually cultivators brave enough to enter Godfall Ridge.

"Are cultivators these days all so courageous?"

"Never mind, leaving first is what matters."

Elder Huang gathered his thoughts, preparing to depart from Godfall Ridge.

Boom!

Another deafening thunderclap exploded.

From the due east direction, another terrifying aura descended; the second cloud of tribulation began to gather.

However, the two heavenly tribulations did not merge. They appeared more like they existed in different spatial planes.

Yet, to Elder Huang, it clearly seemed like one location.

"What is going on? Is someone else attempting to face the saintly heavenly tribulation?" Elder Huang trembled with shock. Wasn’t Godfall Ridge a treacherous land? How could anyone come here now?

One must know, the Second Palace Master of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace, Ao Lie’s second uncle, was an expert at the consummate Saint King realm. After entering Godfall Ridge, even he had vanished without a trace.

How did two semi-saints dare to do this?

Could it be the senior?

Elder Huang suddenly thought of Ye Xu.

"It is most likely the senior." Elder Huang thought to himself.

Crack!

A third saintly heavenly tribulation erupted.

"…"

Three saints, facing their tribulations simultaneously?

Elder Huang’s expression turned strange.

"Senior, just how many opportunities did you sell?"

Then.

Just as Elder Huang was reeling with shock, the fourth, fifth, sixth…
