For the past few days, ever since Yan Ruyu had mysteriously disappeared, Shenlang had been feeling uneasy. Although he did not know the exact situation of Yan Ruyu, he had some guesses.
Recently, Shenlang's cultivation would often stop inexplicably and he could not enter a meditative state. When the Sword Emperor saw Shenlang's state, he sighed and shook his head slightly.
"Rumble!"
Just when the Sword Emperor and the others thought that Shenlang still had a long time before the Heavenly Tribulation, the weather on Sky Mountain suddenly changed. Dark clouds covered the entire peak of Sky Mountain and a trace of an oppressive aura could be felt.
"Creak!"
The door of the room Shenlang was in suddenly opened. Shenlang walked out of the room with his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky that was covered by dark clouds.
"It's finally here?"
The Sword Emperor, Taihuang and the others looked at the sky and then silently flew out of Sky Mountain. Shenlang's Heavenly Tribulation had arrived. If they continued to stay here, they would be targeted by the Heavenly Tribulation. At that time, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation would increase exponentially and they would be in trouble.
The arrival of the Heavenly Tribulation this time was not as slow as before. It was a bolt of lightning that struck down without any preparation.
"Boom!"
In an instant, the heavens and earth were illuminated by the lightning. On the entire peak of Sky Mountain, only Shenlang stood proudly. Facing the rapidly descending lightning, Shenlang's expression was calm.
Shenlang slowly raised the hand behind his back and clenched it in the direction of the descending lightning.
"Crack!"
A cracking sound resounded. Then, Jian Huang and the others saw that the terrifying tribulation lightning had suddenly dissipated. It was as if it had never appeared in the first place.
"Destruction."
When the Sword Emperor saw Shenlang's attack, he could not help but murmur.
"Destruction?"
"What destruction?"
Taihuang and One Page Book looked at the Sword Emperor in confusion. They didn't know what the Sword Emperor meant by destruction.
The Sword Emperor knew that Taihuang and One Page Book were Shen Lang's confidants, so he didn't hide anything from them. Instead, he slowly explained, "You may still have a long way to go before you become a ruler, but there is no harm in knowing some things. Rulers are rulers because they control the laws of heaven and earth."
"Law?"
Taihuang and One Page Book had the same question in their minds. They did not know what a law was.
In truth, the Sword Emperor didn't know much about the Laws, but through the Chief Sovereign of Creation's divine spark, he knew a bit more than the Sword Emperor and the One Page Book.
"Between the heavens and earth, there are countless laws, and laws are a kind of will. As long as you grasp a certain will of the heavens and earth, you can become a supreme existence in the universe."
The Sword Emperor couldn't give Taihuang and One Page Book a detailed explanation because he didn't know much. Thus, he could only tell Taihuang and One Page Book what he knew.
After hearing the Sword Emperor's explanation, Taihuang and One Page Book nodded thoughtfully. Then, they thought of the destruction that the Sword Emperor had mentioned and exclaimed in unison, "Emperor Shen Lang has comprehended the laws of destruction?"
The Sword Emperor nodded uncertainly. "I also don't know if Brother Shen has comprehended the laws of destruction, but when he attacked just now, I felt a destructive will. Thus, I guessed that Brother Shen might have comprehended the laws of destruction."
Boom!
Tribulation lightning kept striking down in the sky. Some were as thin as water snakes, but they were very fast. Some were as thick as water buckets, fast and fierce.
However, no matter how many variations the tribulation lightning had, Shen Lang easily broke through them. Even the final Heart Demon Lightning was silently obliterated by Shen Lang's powerful mental fortitude.
After the Heavenly Tribulation, the sky was a mess. Only the place where Shenlang was standing was intact.
The Sword Emperor and Taihuang returned to the top of Sky Mountain. They stood there quietly like immortals.
Jian Huang and the others did not disturb Shenlang. He had just overcome his Heavenly Tribulation and needed to consolidate his cultivation base. Thus, the three of them remained silent and waited quietly.
Time passed. Shenlang stood there for three days before waking up. Shenlang looked at the Sword Emperor and the others and calmly said, "I have a feeling that Ruyu might have met with a mishap. I have already crossed my Heavenly Tribulation and cannot give the Soul Emperor any more time. If we wait until he recovers from his injuries, it will be difficult for us to find another opportunity. Now, let us go to the land of extreme cold and settle things with him."
Hearing Shenlang's words, Taihuang and One Page Book's expressions shook. Was the Emperor going to attack again? It seemed that this time, rivers of blood would flow and piles of bones would be piled up.
The Sword Emperor had been secretly observing Shenlang. When he saw Shenlang expressionlessly announce the news of Yan Ruyu's death, the Sword Emperor couldn't guess whether or not Shenlang was angry. Anger could increase a person's strength, but it could also cause a person to lose their reason. If Shenlang was blinded by hatred, then the Sword Emperor would advise Shenlang to adjust his emotions first before looking for the Soul Emperor.
Although the Sword Emperor had only fought with the Soul Emperor twice and didn't know much about him, just by looking at how he controlled Yan Ruyu, stole away the sovereign godhead, and quietly took away Yan Ruyu, the Sword Emperor knew that the Soul Emperor was an extremely scheming and astute person. If something had happened to Yan Ruyu, then Shenlang would have been able to sense it. Could it be that the Soul Emperor had deliberately killed Yan Ruyu so that Shenlang would be overwhelmed by hatred and affect Shenlang's state of mind?
As the Sword Emperor was observing Shenlang, Shenlang also looked over. Seeing the Sword Emperor's worried expression, Shenlang nodded and said, "Brother Sword Emperor, there is no need to worry. Although Yan Ruyu is the person I love the most, if something happens to her, it won't affect my state of mind. I will not be affected by hatred."
The Sword Emperor smiled with relief. He had lived much longer than Shenlang and had already seen through life and death. How many of his friends and enemies from the same era had turned into bones in the grave? How many of his loved ones had passed away, separated by life and death? The Sword Emperor had experienced far too much. He was afraid that because Shenlang hadn't experienced the life and death of his loved ones, his state of mind would become unstable and his cultivation would be lost.
"Taihuang, announce to the world that I wish to suppress Soul Hall. All great influences will come with me to encircle and annihilate Soul Hall. No one is allowed to disobey."
Shenlang's dignified and overbearing voice resounded through the entire summit of Heavenly Mountain.
.....
The entire Myriad Gods Continent was seething with excitement. The God Emperor had actually issued a decree for all great influences to come with him to encircle and annihilate Soul Hall. This order was extremely unyielding and no one was allowed to refuse.
