Hong Huang: I Kept Offering Poisonous Plans! Hou Tu Urged Me to Calm Down

Chapter 38: The Outbreak of the Killing Tribulation! The Fall of a Great Master!

It wasn’t just Kunpeng who was surprised; the countless powerful beings in the entire Primordial Realm were also deeply moved.

No one had expected Dong Wanggong to suddenly launch a sneak attack on Kunpeng.

If it were merely a battle for the Saint position, that would be one thing.

But at this moment, Kunpeng was clearly not by the side of any of the holders of the cushion.

Instead, he was directly struck by a sudden attack.

And this wasn’t just any ordinary strike. It was a full-on explosion of power, which was intended to sever life and death.

The pure Yang laws pressed down on ten thousand paths. A Dao fruit vaguely began to form as pure Yang energy chaos engulfed the void and blurred mountains and rivers.

Dong Wanggong pressed down with overwhelming force, his cold gaze flashing.

“When you made your move earlier, you should have expected this day! I cannot be insulted!”

Kunpeng didn’t have time to dodge and took the blow head-on, which caused blood to spill into the void.

The Great Peng flapped his wings, his face filled with a fierce rage.

“How dare you! The cause and effect of our earlier encounter has not been settled! You dare to sneak attack me?! Do you really think I won’t strike back?! Today, I will teach you that even between those with great powers, there are still differences!”

Boom!

Kunpeng recovered from the blow and immediately retaliated, not even bothering to inquire about the reason. He believed it was because of the last time he and Minghe had injured Dong Wanggong together.

This fueled his anger even further.

After all, he had missed the Saint position because of that, and now he was being attacked first? This was asking for death!

Kunpeng, already boiling with rage, clashed fiercely.

The void turned to mud, and countless Dao laws tore through mountains and rivers and created chaos.

Sword lights mixed with pure Yang energy clashed with wings and claws.

Dong Wanggong was too proud to speak much. Moreover, Kunpeng had never denied the cause. The misunderstanding only fueled his rage further and made him eager to settle the score.

There had already been cause and effect between them, so there was no way to clear up the misunderstanding.

The cause and effect between them had been ignited, and it was now a done deal.

Chu Xuan stood firm in the Three Pure Ones’ Secret Realm, a faint smile flashing across his eyes.

The most crucial point was that with this clearing of cause and effect, the entire Primordial Realm’s atmosphere changed drastically.

This was the perfect opportunity to trigger the tribulation.

All beings felt the storm approaching.

If previously the deities had focused on the battle for the Saint position, now it was a battle over cause and effect!

“A Killing Tribulation!”

Someone sighed, as they realized what was happening.

The deities were horrified.

The battles across the Primordial Realm turned chaotic, and slowly, some of the deities began to stir, suddenly launching attacks on each other.

This was a dark forest. In the pursuit of the Saint position, too much cause and effect had been accumulated. They hadn’t moved before because the Saint position was paramount, but now, with the death match of the first great power…

The deities were eager to strike first.

Perhaps some had the sense to call for restraint.

But with some Wu Ancestors faking their identities and completing several sneak attacks, the situation became more tangled, and the tribulation erupted with explosive force.

The countless Dao laws across the Primordial Realm trembled, and battles at the level of Da Luo Golden Immortals broke out in various places.

In fact, this caused the Three Pure Ones, as well as Zhun Ti and Jie Yin, to temporarily quiet down.

But was this the truth?

Not at all. They were still engaged in bloody battles elsewhere. How could they hold back in the competition for the Saint position?

They had only just caught their breath.

And just as they did, a dozen Da Luo Golden Immortals from Chu Xuan’s side broke into the Three Pure One’s Secret Realm.

Although they were immediately countered by the Three Pure Ones, Xuan Ming also made her move to repel the deities…

“That’s a fellow Daoist from Western Kunlun! Also from Eastern Kunlun, and the Northern and Western Seas! I can sense parts of their Dao laws!”

Tongtian Daoist spoke with a complex expression.

Everyone fell silent.

Revealing their true forms wasn’t out of choice, but because they had exerted their full strength, and could no longer conceal themselves.

Even the Three Pure Ones had been forced to reveal themselves, let alone Zhun Ti and Jie Yin, who were directly ambushed by dozens of Da Luo Golden Immortals. Several powerful beings had come together to strike them.

They were severely injured, their true forms blasted to pieces multiple times.

A Long race Quasi-Saint stepped in to protect them, momentarily holding off the attacks.

But this time, even the Quasi-Saints couldn’t deter everyone.

A great power whispered, “It’s just an old dragon burdened with karma! He can’t stop us! Force him, kill him! The Long race is declining, and they still want to join the great struggle! Detonate his karma and burn him alive! A Quasi-Saint can’t stop us!”

Numerous Da Luo Golden Immortals joined forces without hesitation and fought against the Quasi-Saint.

The Quasi-Saint bled!

His karma burned, and faint dragon cries of pain could be heard.

The Eastern Sea was shattered.

Countless sea creatures turned to dust.

Many Aquatic and Long race experts rushed to help.

More and more deities joined the fray.

Even the usually dominant Wu race faced attacks, with some of their Wu Ancestors secretly returning.

They no longer stirred trouble elsewhere.

Chaos! The world shook!

The killing intent surged!

The tribulation energy rose artificially and gradually gathered into an unstoppable force.

Faintly, the Feng and Qilin races were seen in the mix.

Although they did not deploy their Quasi-Saints like the Long race, they chose to back the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa.

In this situation, with cause and effect entangled and the tribulation shaking, even the calmest deities found it hard to stay composed.

Many were puzzled at how things had escalated so quickly.

But there was no time to investigate anymore. This was already a done deal.

Slaughter, blood, and fire—Da Luo Golden Immortals were injured, and Quasi-Saints fought relentlessly.

The Yao race’s Heavenly Court also joined the lower realm, and the Ancestors of the Wu were frequently mobilizing.

Donghuang Taiyi, Di Jiang, and Zhu Rong, these prominent Quasi-Saint level experts, caused an earth-shattering impact.

But they could not gain an overwhelming advantage.

Because it was clear that everyone had gone all out and disregarded everything.

The Killing Tribulation had reached its peak after a hundred, even several hundred years of evolution.

Emperor Jun, who also took action, frowned as he watched the Wu race simultaneously protecting Nuwa and even intervening for the Three Pure Ones.

Gritting his teeth, he gave instructions to the Yao race’s forces.

“Protect the future Saints, Zhun Ti and Jie Yin!”

The Killing Tribulation was too great, and the competition for the cushions was difficult.

His old rivals were also protecting four future Saints, and though it was taxing, it made Emperor Jun anxious. If they succeeded, the Yao race’s future would truly be hopeless.

However, he could not sabotage their efforts. The Wu race was powerful, having revealed a second Quasi-Saint, with numerous Wu Ancestors at the great master level. If he spread his forces thin, the Yao race would likely gain nothing.

To secure their future, he made the painful decision to protect Zhun Ti and Jie Yin.

Donghuang Taiyi and Emperor Jun led dozens of Great Luo Golden Immortals and descended to the lower realm to protect Zhun Ti and Jie Yin.

At the Eastern Sea battlefield, where Zhun Ti and Jie Yin, the most vulnerable and obviously the most dangerous Quasi-Saints, were located, over a hundred Da Luo Golden Immortals had gathered, with dozens of great master level experts.

With the addition of the Yao race’s Heavenly Court, the number surged to over two hundred.

It was almost enough to ruin the Eastern Sea.

Zhun Ti and Jie Yin were terrified, as they felt that they could be shattered at any moment.

And it was at this very moment that the world suddenly trembled.

A great master had fallen!
