Tribulation clouds surged in the sky above Gu Ling's seclusion grounds. It was supposed to be sunny and cloudless, but now, the entire sky had darkened.
"Rumble …"
Blinding bolts of lightning flashed continuously within the tribulation clouds. A terrifying destructive force was rapidly condensing. This was the might of the world, affecting the laws of the world.
Many experts in the Outer Seas were alarmed. It had been many years since a Quasi-Sage Heavenly Tribulation had appeared in the Outer Seas.
However, when those people wanted to come and check it out, they retreated in panic from thousands of miles away. They had sensed someone's aura.
"Why is that person here?"
Some experts from the Outer Seas muttered. They did not dare to approach that area. If they made that person unhappy, it would be a disaster.
"Could it be that person's disciple is undergoing tribulation again?"
Someone guessed this possibility. After all, the commotion caused by the Scarlet Dragon's tribulation had affected the entire Outer Seas and even the entire Soaring Dragon Ancestral Star.
No one would have guessed that the person undergoing tribulation this time was not Gu Fei's disciple, but his daughter. Moreover, there were very few people in the Outer Seas who knew that Gu Fei had a daughter.
"Do you think Ling'er will succeed?"
Yan'er asked Gu Fei from the mountain peak opposite Gu Ling's seclusion grounds.
"That's a must."
Gu Fei said. His daughter had his bloodline in her. How could she not be able to pass through a Quasi-Sage Heavenly Tribulation?
Upon reaching the Sage level, one's physical body would transcend the mortal realm. The power of the laws of the Great Path cultivated by a Sage would fuse into their bloodline and be passed down to their descendants.
Gu Fei and Yan'er were both Sages. Naturally, their bloodline power would be passed down to Gu Ling.
Gu Ling had the bloodline of a Sage. Her starting point was already far better than ordinary people. This was also why her cultivation had improved so quickly.
The power of a bloodline was not to be underestimated.
With Gu Fei and Yan'er around, even if Gu Ling failed the tribulation, she would not be in any danger. This was definitely an extravagant hope for other cultivators.
One had to know that failure to transcend the tribulation meant death. Not everyone would have a Saint by their side to protect them when they transcended the tribulation.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, there was a deafening clap of thunder and a bolt of lightning the size of a mountain range shot out from the tribulation clouds towards Gu Ling's seclusion grounds.
Gu Ling's secluded cultivation ground was instantly destroyed by the lightning. Half of the mountain was blasted apart by the lightning. Immediately, rubble flew into the air and dust rose high into the sky.
A figure could be vaguely seen in the lightning.
"Shua."
At this moment, a golden light shot out from the figure and rushed towards the mountain where Gu Fei was at. A powerful aura was emitted from the golden light.
On top of the mountain, Gu Fei reached out and grabbed the golden light. The golden light dissipated, and a Divine Mace appeared in Gu Fei's hand. This Divine Mace was the Human Emperor Divine Mace.
Gu Ling had returned the Immortal Emperor's Mace to her father. Her goal was clear: she didn't need to borrow the power of the Immortal Emperor's Mace to transcend the Quasi-Sage Heavenly Tribulation.
She wanted to rely on her own strength to survive this test.
The Quasi-Sage Heavenly Tribulation was only a test to her. Of course, that was only true for her. If it were someone else, it would not be so easy.
"This child …"
Yan 'er couldn't help but shake her head. Gu Ling had returned the Immortal Emperor's Mace to Gu Fei. This was within her expectations because the personalities of the father and daughter were very similar.
Gu Ling sat cross-legged in the void, bathed in lightning. She wore an immortal robe with interweaving immortal patterns on it.
This was an immortal robe that she had refined when she was cultivating the Immortal Path.
But now, Gu Ling had already switched to the path of cultivation and stepped onto the path of martial arts. However, she was still wearing this celestial robe.
"Rumble …"
Thunder rumbled as powerful tribulation lightning descended from the sky and blasted Gu Ling's body. The power of the tribulation lightning grew stronger and stronger.
Under the bombardment of the tribulation lightning, Gu Ling's incomparably strong physique was displayed. Each lightning bolt could shatter a mountain, but it couldn't hurt her at all.
The destructive lightning engulfed Gu Ling completely. Her aura did not weaken under the bombardment, but instead grew stronger.
"Not bad."
Gu Fei couldn't help but nod when he saw this scene from the opposite mountain.
"It would be strange if Ling 'er's physique wasn't strong after tempering her body with sacred blood and the essence of a quasi-supreme."
Yan 'er said disapprovingly.
Gu Fei had once tempered Gu Ling's martial body with the essence of a saint-level creature and a quasi-supreme. At this moment, Gu Ling's martial body was definitely comparable to a saint artifact.
Gu Ling's realm wasn't high enough, but her martial body was absolutely unimaginably strong.
Eighty-one tribulation lightning descended from the tribulation clouds. This was the number of nine by nine, representing the limit. When the eighty-first tribulation lightning struck, the entire world shook.
The aura of destruction filled every inch of the void.
Gu Ling's immortal robe finally couldn't withstand the destructive power of the world and shattered in the void. The immortal runes on the immortal robe dissipated under the tribulation lightning.
After the eighty-first tribulation lightning, human-shaped lightning and beast-shaped lightning descended from the tribulation clouds. The power contained within these lightning was much more terrifying than the eighty-first tribulation lightning.
"This is …"
On the opposite mountain, Yan 'er couldn't help but be shocked when she saw this scene. This was the imprint left behind by a creature that had gone through the heavenly tribulation of a quasi-saint before Gu Ling was triggered.
This was equivalent to a quasi-saint attacking Gu Ling. Gu Ling could only become the number one person below the Sages after passing this trial.
"Let's fight."
At this moment, Gu Ling stood up in the void and charged towards a human-shaped lightning that rushed down from the sky.
This was a human-shaped creature, but there were two horns on its head. This creature wasn't a real human, but perhaps a demon.
A great battle broke out. Gu Ling pressed forward with an indomitable will and blasted out the Fist of Fire.
"Boom!"
Gu Ling's fist collided with the human-shaped lightning's fist. The two figures moved rapidly.
At this time, a fierce beast condensed from lightning pounced from behind Gu Ling. This fierce beast opened its mouth and spat out a large amount of lightning towards Gu Ling.
Every bolt of lightning tore through the void, displaying a terrifying might.
"Swoosh."
Gu Ling turned around and completely ignored the terrifying lightning. She charged through the thousands of lightning bolts and arrived above the beast in an instant. She then stomped down on the beast's head.
This was the Eight Desolation Steps that Gu Fei had taught Gu Ling. Gu Ling displayed the Eight Steps Eight Death Technique. With a stomp, the void beneath her feet immediately collapsed.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, the beast was stomped down from the sky by Gu Ling.
Just as Guling was stepping on the ferocious beast, the humanoid lightning charged towards him. The figure waved its hands, causing blades of light to shoot out from its hands. The blades of light spun and slashed towards Guling.
"Hmph."
Gu Ling snorted coldly and waved her fists, shattering the incoming light blades. She then clashed with the human-shaped lightning.
"Roar!"
A terrifying bestial roar seemed to resound in the void. The beast that Gu Ling had stomped down from the sky once again charged up from below.
Gu Ling did not seem to be at a disadvantage against the two powerful beings formed from lightning.
"Fight steadily and consolidate your cultivation and realm in the midst of a great battle. Our Ling 'er knows very well what she has to do now."
Seeing this, Gu Fei couldn't help but nod his head.
"Ling 'er can easily overcome this Heaven's Tribulation with her own strength."
Yan 'er looked at the valiant and invincible figure in the sky. She couldn't help but be surprised and overjoyed. Martial artists were indeed natural born warriors. This father and daughter pair were both battle maniacs.
Gu Ling's situation was just as her father, Gu Fei, had said. She consolidated her cultivation base during the battle. The more she fought, the braver she became.
"Boom!"
Gu Ling punched out. The terrifying fist force turned into a torrential divine flame, drowning the two beings formed from lightning within the divine flame.
The two figures formed from lightning were sent flying before disintegrating in the void. They turned into two imprints and shot up into the sky, returning to the Heaven's Dao.
"Rumble …"
Just then, a thunderous roar rang out from within the Calamity Clouds. An incomparably huge figure walked out from the Calamity Clouds. This was a figure whose entire body was covered in Heaven's Flames.
"This is …"
Gu Ling's eyes narrowed at the sight of this figure. This was a living being that cultivated a Fire Way Technique and became a Quasi-Sage.
The Dao imprint that this living being had left on the Heaven's Dao was activated. It materialized and charged towards Gu Ling.
The living being stretched out its hand. A gigantic hand wreathed in raging flames enveloped the entire Heaven and Earth, grabbing towards Gu Ling.
That gigantic hand emanated Heaven's Flames, a terrifying flame that could incinerate everything in the world into ashes.
"Kill!"
Gu Ling's battle intent surged. She struck out with her Heaven Encompassing Palm. An incomparably huge palm appeared between the Heaven and Earth, clashing with the gigantic hand that was descending from the Heavens.
"Boom!"
Amidst the loud sound, the two gigantic hands clashed together. Two extremely powerful forces erupted.
Gu Ling's Heaven Encompassing Palm dissipated. The gigantic hand formed from the Heaven's Flames retracted as well. This time around, no one could suppress the other in a head-on confrontation.
"Very good. Finally, a decent fella has arrived."
Gu Ling's eyes lit up. She charged forth and engaged in a fierce battle with that figure. An incomparably powerful force shook the Heaven and Earth.
