The corner of Lonemoon's mouth twitched. Alright, the Heavenly Dao had tolerated it for a long time.
"Looks like I don't have to do anything." So he kept the sword array and scanned the crowd below. "Alright, I'll see how the Heavenly Dao takes care of you vermin!" With that said, he turned and flew back in the direction of Shen Ying and the others. He squeezed into Chef's boundary, took out a chair and sat down.
Almost at the same time that Lonemoon sat down, the realm gate that had just been opened closed with a snap. The thunder clouds in the sky became even thicker.
"This … This is the Heavenly Tribulation?!" Everyone looked incredulous. Why would the Heavenly Tribulation suddenly appear? None of them had ascended. Moreover, this was the mortal realm. They were people of the immortal realm. Why would the Heavenly Tribulation of immortals appear in the mortal realm?
Unfortunately, such a thing did happen! The thunder clouds were tens of times more severe than any Heavenly Tribulation. Finally, with a loud boom, tens of lightning of different colors descended from the sky at the same time, striking down on the crowd below.
Yu Cang and the others tried their best to resist, but to no avail. Even the best immortal weapons were shattered by the Heavenly Tribulation. Just one strike was enough to shatter their meridians and cause their cultivation to regress. Before they could react, the next lightning struck down, as if it couldn't wait any longer.
Now they finally understood why Lonemoon wanted to take away their merit. Unfortunately, it was too late.
The lightning struck down one after another, as if it would never stop …
— — —
The thunder in the sky became more and more frequent. At first, there were red, purple, white, and all kinds of lightning. Even some that should not have appeared in the Heavenly Tribulation appeared. The lightning pressure around them was so thick that it was hard to breathe. Slowly, the lightning became smaller. However, it wasn't that the Heavenly Dao let these people off. It was purposely reducing the lightning tribulation. Like a soft knife cutting flesh, it struck slowly.
Yet because of the first few lightning strikes, Yu Cang and the others had no strength to resist. They could only let the lightning slowly disperse the little immortal force left in their bodies.
Lonemoon's mouth twitched. How much did they hate these people? Even the unconscious Heavenly Dao was angered to the point of using such a despicable move. Moreover, this Lightning Tribulation had been striking for too long. One strike had lasted for several months. At first, they were watching with great interest, but as time went on, they became annoyed.
It wasn't until three months later that the thunderclouds in the sky slowly dispersed, and the once majestic Hao Ran Court had been flattened. The entire mountain was only left with a small layer of the sea, and it wasn't even as big as the nearby islands. As for the original disciples, other than a few disciples with especially low cultivation bases who survived, including Yu Cang and the rest, they all turned into that thick layer of dust on the ground.
Yi Qing sensed for a moment before saying, "The nomological power of this small world has already recovered by half."
"Why is it only half?" Lonemoon stared blankly for a moment, and then he realized that the nomological power that had just disappeared here was surging towards the north in large swathes, beginning to gather into thunderclouds. His eyes lit up instantly. "Those tribulation clouds are floating towards Divine Imperial Sect!" Indeed, the Heavenly Dao remembered every debt clearly and had already gone to collect it. "Come, let's go to Divine Imperial Sect to watch the show."
"But …" Fatty pointed at the sea ahead hesitantly. "What about that ferocious beast?" Although Weeping Beast was a shut-in beast, it was still an ancient ferocious beast.
Lonemoon frowned, this was indeed a problem, that beastie still had to be dealt with.
"I think we don't have to care about it," Chef suddenly said. "Although Weeping Beast likes to eat flesh and blood, it was originally a ferocious beast with Yin Qi as its soul, Blood Qi as its spirit, and turbid grievous Qi as its bones. Now that Hao Ran Court is gone, the corpses that filled the lotus pond have also disappeared. It won't be long before the Yin Qi astral winds on the Uncrooked Sea dissipate, and Weeping Beast will naturally disappear as well. "
Lonemoon stared blankly. "You mean … the Yin Qi on the sea came from that lotus pond?"
Yi Qing nodded.
"Shit!" Lonemoon couldn't help but scold that bunch of scum from Hao Ran Court again. Indeed, they skinned a person alive so many times, and even piled the corpse at the bottom of the pond, it would be strange if it didn't generate grievous Qi. What's more, the corpse could not be buried, and emitted Yin Qi all year round, causing the entire sea region to be bewildered. Weeping Beast did not suddenly appear, but was born from the Yin Qi.
And the reason why the nomological powers of this world were in chaos was also very clear. Yu Cang and the others used the flesh and blood of Fatty's many previous lives as sacrifices, causing the Heavenly Dao to mistakenly think that they were Fatty, and to raise their cultivation and ascend to the Immortal Realm. By the time the Heavenly Dao realized that something was wrong, it was already too late.
What's more, the Heavenly Dao did not have sentience, at most it was a super calculator that specialized in recording the rewards and punishments of living beings. After such a number of times, it naturally froze. In a situation where there was no other effective solution, it could only directly lock the realm gate to prevent more such situations from happening.
It was only when they descended to the Immortal Realm and took back the merit that did not originally belong to them, and eliminated most of the source of the chaos, that the Heavenly Dao then resumed its normal operation. Presumably, after it struck Divine Imperial Sect and the others, the nomological powers of this small world would completely return to normal.
At the thought of this, the more they wanted to see what happened to those people from Divine Imperial Sect.
Unfortunately, in the end, they still could not go watch this show, because Fatty was about to ascend. Almost at the same time that the nomological powers recovered, Fatty's Spirit Qi began to increase explosively, the Tribulation Clouds in the sky began to gather again, this time it was an ordinary Lightning Tribulation for ascension.
Lonemoon glanced at the strength of the lightning tribulation, not the least bit worried about Fatty. This bit of lightning tribulation was probably not as bad as when he fed Fatty moves.
"Let's return to the Immortal Realm first." He instructed Fatty, then pulled Shen Ying and Chef through the realm gate, back to the Immortal Realm.
There was no problem with Fatty going through the tribulation, the key was that he was afraid that the people above would tamper with it. He remembered that in Yu Cang's East Tsui, more than half of the immortals used that cheating method to ascend. Although Yu Cang was already dead, there was no guarantee that other people would not tamper with Fatty.
That was why they had to return as soon as possible, find out where Fatty was ascending, and guard it in advance.
But when the few of them reached the Immortal Realm, they realized that they had been overthinking. Almost the moment they crossed the realm gate, they heard the familiar sound of thunder. The sky of the Immortal Realm was dark, and the entire East Tsui was covered in Tribulation Clouds, almost covering every immortal city. The rumbling sound of thunder came down one after another.
Even the three people who just came to the Immortal Realm were almost dragged into it. The corner of Lonemoon's mouth twitched. The Heavenly Dao was having fun striking the Immortal Realm, and now it was casually striking the Immortal Realm. It seemed like it had no intention of letting these people who cheated to ascend go.
Lonemoon sighed. He did not care about the Heavenly Dao's large-scale execution site, and pinched his fingers to calculate the location of Fatty's ascension, then brought Shen Ying and Chef in that direction. Indeed, on a flat ground, they sensed Fatty's aura. Immortal Qi surged all around, already beginning to condense into the shape of an Immortal Ascension Stage. They did not have to wait for long before they saw a beam of light shoot up into the sky.
