The world was in an uproar as discussions broke out.
The Beast Tide had touched everyone's hearts. The soldiers who survived the battle could return home, and the dead would be listed as heroes for future generations to remember.
The Supreme Court of the State of Xia determined that the Martial Dao Heavenly Sanctum was guilty of treason. Their leader, Ba Dao, had been executed, and the rest of the Martial Dao Heavenly Sanctum were all punished for treason.
In an instant, the Martial Dao Heavenly Sanctum was cursed by everyone. Their branches across the country were closed down by the Hanging Mirror Department, and a large number of warriors left the Martial Dao Heavenly Sanctum. The seven Deputy Sanctum Heads seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth.
A transcendent power that had just risen had disappeared under the thunderous blow of the State of Xia. This also sounded the alarm for many other transcendent powers in the State of Xia.
And this was not the end. The warriors and ability users who had retreated from the Beast Tide were all captured by the Martial Security Department and sentenced to death.
When everything was over and the State of Xia was slightly more peaceful, everyone's attention was focused on one person.
Ye Xuan!
It was a simple name, but it was well known by everyone. Without his appearance, perhaps the entire population of the Capital would have been massacred by the Beast Tide.
The public's opinion changed. The curses directed at Ye Xuan turned into guilt. All the major forums on the Internet and major television news channels issued apologies to Ye Xuan.
All the major ancient martial arts clans and transcendent powers stepped through the doors of the Ye family, wanting to invite Ye Xuan to attend some events. They even lowered their statuses to the extreme.
However, while they were searching for Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth, never appearing in front of the world again.
The Martial Security Department, the Hanging Mirror Department, and the State of Xia's military were not the only forces looking for Ye Xuan.
Jixia College, the Monster-exterminating League … Even the overseas forces were investigating Ye Xuan's whereabouts. However, to their disappointment, after three months, Ye Xuan did not appear in the eyes of the world.
…
The sky was high, the clouds were light, and the wind was howling.
A streak of light tore through the clouds. The terrifying shockwave exploded, but it did not affect Ye Xuan at all. His eyes were gloomy and cold, and his face alternated between red and pale. He was shooting towards the south at an unimaginable speed.
Rumble!
Thunder rumbled while the might of the heavens and the earth pressed down. In the depths of the vast sky, a strand of azure blue lightning was faintly discernible, and it seemed to be chasing after Ye Xuan's figure without dispersing from the beginning until now.
Heavenly Thunder Tribulation!
Four simple words, but they carried an extremely terrifying meaning.
When Ye Xuan devoured the Qi and blood of tens of thousands of blood fiends and consolidated his cultivation at the middle stage of the Crossing Calamity Stage, this was originally a trivial matter. However, under the throbbing of his heart, a sense of restlessness appeared in his heart.
Ye Xuan knew that his Lightning Tribulation had arrived. This was also the reason why he had left the capital so quickly.
The Crossing Calamity Stage, as the name implied, was a tribulation for immortal cultivators. In this stage, there were a total of two Lightning Tribulations. The first one was the Human Tribulation, which was the process of transforming a human into an immortal.
Stepping into the middle stage of the Crossing Calamity Stage would lead to the Human Tribulation. If one could pass it, one would become a half-immortal. If not, one would die and not even have the chance to be reincarnated.
As for the later Immortal Tribulation, it was even more terrifying. It was the process of transforming a mortal into an immortal.
Ye Xuan was originally at the early stage of the Crossing Calamity Stage. After refining the Six Dao Principles in Yama Hell, he stepped into the middle stage of the Crossing Calamity Stage. The so-called Human Tribulation was about to arrive, and Ye Xuan was well aware of it.
After devouring the Qi and blood of the blood fiends, he stabilized his cultivation at the middle stage of the Crossing Calamity Stage. This also made the heavens and the earth feel it and sent the first tribulation to him.
Ye Xuan was not afraid of the so-called Human Tribulation. With his mastery of the Forbidden Chapter of the Immortal Scripture, the so-called Human Tribulation was just a trivial matter in his eyes.
What really worried Ye Xuan was the Inner Demon Tribulation. If the Inner Demon Tribulation attacked him while he was fighting against the Human Tribulation, he would suffer an extremely cruel test.
It was easy to pass the Immortal Tribulation, but it was difficult to escape from the human heart!
These simple words were as heavy as a mountain. It also explained the rugged road of immortal cultivators.
Immortal cultivators cultivated their fate and went against the heavens. They understood the heart of the heavens and the Dao of the heavens and the earth. They were not tainted by the mortal world and rarely touched by killing. This did not mean that they had no desires, but they were afraid of being tainted by the karma of killing and attracting the Inner Demon Tribulation.
From this, it could be seen how terrifying the Inner Demon Tribulation was.
As for Ye Xuan's cultivation, it was obtained from devouring blood energy. It was unknown how many creatures had died in his hands, but his hands were already covered in blood. His body was filled with a vicious aura, and the resentment that those creatures emitted before they died continued to coil around his body.
Ye Xuan could be said to be a Devil Cultivator. Since ancient times, Devil Cultivators did not have a good ending. Most of them died in the Inner Demon Tribulation.
…
The boundless mountains were continuous and undulating. This was a desolate and uninhabited place. It was a primeval forest that had not been developed by humans. The vast vegetation was lush, and the sound of birds chirping and beasts roaring could be heard from time to time. It gave people a sense of horror.
Under the sky, in the void.
Ye Xuan's expression changed. He knew that he could not go any further. The Thunder Calamity in the sky had locked onto him, and the boundless mountains below were undoubtedly the best place for him to cross the calamity.
He turned into a stream of light and swooped down!
Ye Xuan's expression was solemn, and there was a trace of madness in his eyes. He sat cross-legged on the mountain peak, and his body was steaming with extreme bloody light. With him as the center, an extremely terrifying aura shot out in all directions.
Rumble!
The mountains shook, and the world exploded. When Ye Xuan completely revealed his cultivation of the Tribulation Stage, the boundless sky gradually darkened, completely covering the boundless mountains. In the thick black clouds, there were thousands of thunderbolts raging.
"The calamity is coming!"
Like the thunder from the Ninth Heaven, like the waves of the vast sea, when Ye Xuan spoke, the wind and clouds in the sky changed. The nine-colored thundercloud shone brilliantly and floated in the sky.
Crack!
A bloody thunderbolt streaked across the sky, illuminating the world. With an unimaginable power, it struck toward Ye Xuan.
…
Heartbroken Mountain, Blood Sea Battlefield!
Yuan Ling had his hands behind his back. His eyes were deep, as if he was looking into the distance through the Blood Sea Battlefield. The strange black fog around him was fluctuating. No one knew what he was thinking.
"He is crossing the calamity!"
The blood sea overturned the sky, and the shadow took shape. A blood-colored shadow quietly appeared behind Yuan Ling.
"It is easy to cross the calamity of man, but it is difficult to escape from the Inner Demon. He reached the Tribulation Stage in four years, which is a heaven-defying feat. It is extremely difficult to cross this calamity," Yuan Ling said deeply.
"The Heaven-Destroying Halberd has recognized him as its master, and he has the incomplete Six Dao Rules in his body. Can't he cross the Inner Demon Calamity?" The bloody shadow asked.
"The Inner Demon Calamity has nothing to do with cultivation. It is an interrogation of one's soul. If he really has no desires and no emotions, he can cross this calamity. But you have to know, since the beginning of the world, who dares to say that they have no desires and no emotions?
"Even those who have become immortals in the Earth Immortal World dare not say that." Yuan Ling sighed.
