Qin Yu's figure was like the wind. He directly flew into the boundless valley. As the mountain wind whistled, his gown fluttered in the wind. Qin Yu's long hair also fluttered in the wind.
Qin Yu arrived at another mountain. It was one of the eighteen mountain peaks. The palace on top of this mountain peak was the residence of the Gold Punishment Lord. Due to the fact that the Gold Punishment Lord was going to undergo his Divine Tribulation tomorrow, there were many Emperor level experts gathered here today.
However, practically all of these people were outside the palace. They did not dare to enter and disturb the Gold Punishment Lord Xing Yuan. However, Qin Yu did not care about them in the slightest. He directly walked toward the entrance of the palace with large strides.
"Who is that person? How come I've never seen him before?"
"I don't know him. However, he seems to be an expert. I am unable to see through him!"
… …
Some experts began to discuss with their friends in confusion. There were not many people in the Dark Star Realm that had seen Qin Yu before. Especially during this period of time, Qin Yu had entered 'seclusion training.' Only a small portion of the people that knew him had seen him before.
"Lord Liu Xing." A bald robust man said respectfully.
Qin Yu lightly nodded his head and continued onward. As for the robust man beside him, he had paid a visit to Qin Yu and Wen Feng before. Thus, he also knew them.
"So it's Lord Liu Xing, one of the three great successors to the next Gold Punishment Lord." Immediately, someone realized who Liu Xing was. The surrounding experts immediately began to greet Liu Xing respectfully.
"Lord Liu Xing."
"Lord Liu Xing!"
… …
Every man, woman, young man, and old man was so respectful.
This was how it was in the Dark Star Realm. The more powerful one was, the more respect one would receive. As for Qin Yu, he was the only Consecrator of the Gold Punishment Sect. His status was equivalent to the Vice Sect Master and second only to the Gold Punishment Lord. Furthermore, he was one of the three great successors. For such an expert, who among the people present did not respect him from the bottom of their hearts?
After a short moment, Qin Yu walked past the yellow stone path in front of the palace.
The guard at the entrance of the palace immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Lord Liu Xing, His Majesty has already given the order. When Lord Liu Xing arrives, you can go directly to the rear hall of the main hall. His Majesty will be waiting for you there."
"Okay." Qin Yu nodded slightly and then stepped into the palace.
He did not even bother to ask where the rear hall was. That was because Qin Yu's Divine Awareness had already discovered the location of the Gold Punishment Lord Xing Yuan. He took a step forward. With the second step, he arrived at the entrance of the main palace. With another step, he entered the rear hall.
However, the surrounding people who saw it felt very natural and harmonious, as if it was a matter of course.
On a chair in the rear hall, the Gold Punishment Lord's eyes were slightly narrowed as he leaned on it. Beside his hand was a table. On the table was a pot of tea and two cups. On the other side of the table, there was also a chair.
"Sit," Seeing that Qin Yu had entered, the Gold Punishment Lord Xing Yuan opened his eyes and pointed to another chair.
Qin Yu nodded and sat down. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty Xing Yuan doesn't seem to be worried about the Divine Tribulation at all. Even at this time, you are still so relaxed."
Xing Yuan picked up the teacup and took a sip. Then, he cast his gaze toward Qin Yu. He fixed his gaze on Qin Yu and said, "Liu Xing, you should also know about the benefits of the Gold Punishment Spiritual Pearl. Did you think that I would still need to care about the Divine Tribulation? The reason why I came to find you today is because I wanted to ask you about a matter. "
Qin Yu was unable to help himself from feeling puzzled.
This Xing Yuan was someone who was about to ascend to the Divine Realm. Why would he come to find him?
"Your Majesty Xing Yuan, please speak." Qin Yu said straightforwardly.
Xing Yuan nodded and said. "Actually, I do not have any disciples in the Dark Star Realm. I do not even have any relatives. It could be said that I am completely carefree. If it wasn't for the fact that I was slightly worried about the Divine Tribulation, I might not have come to seize the position of the Dark Star Realm's Overlord. "
Qin Yu nodded.
Qin Yu knew very well that this Xing Yuan possessed the strength of an eighteen star Emperor. However, practically no one in the entire Dark Star Realm knew of his existence. It was only later on that he suddenly appeared and seized the position of the Dark Star Realm's Overlord. That was why his reputation was so great. This sort of person truly did not care about authority.
"Liu Xing, actually, I was already astonished the first time I saw you. That's because your soul's realm is extremely high. It's so high that even I am unable to see through it. My soul's realm has already reached eighteen star Emperor level. Thus, I found it strange … an expert whose soul's realm is close to that of a Deity, is his body's cultivation really only fifteen star Emperor level? "
Xing Yuan said with a light smile. "Furthermore, you wanted to enter the Bewitching God Temple so much back then. This time, when I saw you, I felt that you've changed. Although I am unable to explain it clearly, I felt that you've become stronger. Liu Xing, tell me the truth. Do you have absolute confidence in the competition for the position of the Dark Star Realm's Overlord after I pass the Divine Tribulation? "
"I do." Qin Yu nodded and said.
Qin Yu did not conceal anything.
"That's more like it." Xing Yuan smiled happily. "Can you tell me how powerful you are?"
"If you don't possess the Gold Punishment Spiritual Pearl, you shouldn't be a match for me." Qin Yu said with a light smile.
Xing Yuan's eyes shined. He started to laugh out loud. "Indeed, it's as I imagined. I had already determined that your fifteen star Emperor level cultivation was merely concealing your strength. It would appear that my guess was correct … haha. Unfortunately, I now possess the Gold Punishment Spiritual Pearl. You are no longer a match for me."
Qin Yu merely smiled indifferently.
He did not try to explain himself. That's because there was no need for him to explain himself.
"The only doubt in my heart has finally been cleared. Comfortable, comfortable!" Xing Yuan laughed out loud.
"You called for me just for this?" Qin Yu was unable to refrain his shock.
"Why did you think I sought you out?" Xing Yuan said with a beaming smile. "After I became the Gold Punishment Lord, I had nothing to do. With my strength, everything was within my control. Only you … I felt that I was unable to control you, unable to understand you. Thus, I wanted to figure out your strength before ascending. That way, my heart would feel at ease. "
Qin Yu shook his head and smiled.
Truly a person who was easily satisfied. However, being satisfied would bring joy.
*****
On the second day, a large number of experts rushed toward the Hundred Flowers Star. Every Gold Punishment Lord's Divine Tribulation was decided by the Gold Punishment Lord himself. However, the great majority of Divine Tribulations were made public.
It was simply impossible for the Gold Punishment Lord to fail his Divine Tribulation.
The Hundred Flowers Star was an extremely beautiful planet. There were many different kinds of beautiful flowers and plants. Resting among the flowers and watching the Gold Punishment Lord's Divine Tribulation, where else could one find such a day?
A sea of people. Densely packed people were gathered on the Hundred Flowers Star.
At this moment, several hundred thousand Dark Star Realm's experts were gathered on the Hundred Flowers Star. To the Dark Star Realm, several hundred thousand people was an enormous number. After all, even if the entire Dark Star Realm were to be added together, their population would still be pitifully small.
Qin Yu, Wen Feng, Liu Lan, Bao Yu and the other experts were all at the very front. They were the closest to the Gold Punishment Lord.
As for the Gold Punishment Lord Xing Yuan himself, he was standing in the middle of a ring shaped open space. The Black Flame Lord, White Profound Lord and the others were also sitting beside Qin Yu and the others. The people present were all chatting and laughing. There was not the slightest trace of nervousness.
"Liu Xing, have you seen a Divine Tribulation before?" Wen Feng said to Qin Yu.
Qin Yu had already seen the Cyan Emperor's Divine Tribulation before. Merely, Qin Yu wanted to conceal his identity. Thus, he smiled and said. "I have never seen it before."
Wen Feng smiled and said. "I've already seen it several times. Brother Liu Xing, let me explain it to you. This Divine Tribulation is separated into three stages. The first stage is the deep blue colored Ancient Formation Lightning Tribulation! "
"The second stage of the Divine Tribulation is the Divine Flame Tribulation. The Divine Flame is extremely powerful. If it were to burn for a long period of time, even seventeen or eighteen star experts would be injured. The strongest stage of the Divine Tribulation is the third stage of the Divine Tribulation. The third stage of the Divine Tribulation is a kind of mixed tribulation. It contains gray colored mist and gray colored lightning attacks … Many of the experts of our Dark Star Realm were injured by it. "
Hearing up to this point, Qin Yu began to carefully listen.
Although he had seen the Cyan Emperor's Divine Tribulation, he had only seen the outer appearance. As for the deeper layers, Qin Yu did not know about it at all. As for the experts of the Dark Star Realm, it was clear that their understanding of the Divine Tribulation was much higher than the people of the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm.
"Brother Wen Feng, don't most of the experts of the Dark Star Realm have reached seventeen star Emperor level? Why are they unable to pass the Divine Tribulation? "Qin Yu asked in confusion.
Seventeen star Emperor level, logically speaking, was equivalent to the strength of the ninth stage of the 'Nine Steps Dark Gold Body'. With that strength, one should have a hundred percent success rate in passing the Divine Tribulation.
Wen Feng shook his head and said. "Although seventeen star Emperor level experts are very powerful and have a very high probability of passing the Divine Tribulation, there are still many people who have died. As for the reason, you'll know after His Majesty the Gold Punishment Lord finishes his Divine Tribulation. "
"You're deliberately keeping me in suspense?" Said Qin Yu with a smile.
"The Divine Tribulation has begun!" Wen Feng's expression suddenly turned serious. Qin Yu immediately grew silent.
Right at this moment, the entire Hundred Flowers Star suddenly grew quiet. Not a single person among the several hundred thousand people actually made a ruckus. Everyone had turned from noisy to absolutely silent. This sort of oppressive atmosphere had also caused Qin Yu to become serious.
"Huuu!" A gale suddenly started to blow. Countless flowers were blown into the air.
It was as if the gloomy sky was splashed with ink by a deity. In an instant, black clouds began to roll about in the sky. The entire sky turned pitch-black. The oppressive might of the Divine Tribulation began to fill the air.
From the rolling black clouds, an enormous red vortex appeared. This red vortex was over a thousand miles in circumference. The red vortex was spinning unceasingly. At the same time, deep blue colored electric snakes began to flow through it.
"Chichi ~ ~ ~ ~"
At this moment, Qin Yu discovered that the space surrounding the Gold Punishment Lord Xing Yuan had completely distorted. Xing Yuan's figure had also turned somewhat fuzzy.
A millstone-shaped 'ancient formation' began to emerge from the red vortex. The millstone-shaped ancient formation was formed by nine deep blue colored lightnings. These nine deep blue colored lightnings were unceasingly circulating within the ancient formation.
The first Divine Tribulation … Ancient Formation Lightning Tribulation!
"Against the Gold Punishment Lord Xing Yuan, the Divine Tribulation is simply not a challenge at all." Thought Qin Yu in his heart.
Indeed, it was as Qin Yu had anticipated. When the millstone-sized Ancient Formation Lightning Tribulation descended, before it even touched the Gold Punishment Lord, Xing Yuan casually shot a golden ray of light toward it.
That was the Gold Force that had its might increased by over ten times. It directly shattered the millstone-sized Ancient Formation Lightning Tribulation.
The second Divine Tribulation … Divine Fire Tribulation!
That enormous red vortex was separated into an inner and an outer vortex. The inner and outer vortices were spinning in opposite directions. The friction between the two vortices created traces of black colored flames that fused together and formed a black colored fire dragon.
"Too weak, too weak." Qin Yu sighed in his heart.
Sure enough, when the fire dragon formed by the Divine Fire enveloped the Gold Punishment Lord, the Gold Punishment Lord's entire body emitted a dazzling golden radiance. The Gold Punishment Lord was incomparably dazzling like the sun.
The Divine Fire dissipated. The second Divine Tribulation also disappeared.
"Brother Wen Feng, two successive Divine Tribulations were easily broken through. Could it be that there's something extraordinary about the third Divine Tribulation?" Qin Yu sent a voice transmission to Wen Feng beside him.
Wen Feng shook his head and said. "Liu Xing, the strongest of the three Divine Tribulations is the last one. Even if His Majesty the Gold Punishment Lord were to succeed, it would not be as easy as the first two Divine Tribulations."
"The third Divine Tribulation is very strong?" Qin Yu was a bit puzzled.
"It is truly very strong." Wen Feng firmly stared at the red vortex in the sky.
However, Qin Yu did not believe that to be the case. He still clearly remembered the scene of the Cyan Emperor undergoing his Divine Tribulation. When the final Third Divine Tribulation descended, the Cyan Emperor's body emitted jade colored ripples and easily broke through the Third Divine Tribulation.
In Qin Yu's heart, this Third Divine Tribulation ought to be as weak as the first two Divine Tribulations.
The black clouds that covered the entire sky were rolling about. The enormous red vortex continued to revolve at the same frequency. Traces of gray colored fog began to seep out from the red vortex. The gray colored fog from the over a thousand miles wide red vortex gathered together and formed a large lump of gray colored fog with a circumference of several hundred meters.
The several hundred meter wide gray colored fog descended and instantly covered the entire region surrounding the Gold Punishment Lord. As for the Gold Punishment Lord Xing Yuan, he was naturally enveloped within the fog.
Within the gray colored fog were traces of 'gray colored lightning' that were unceasingly moving about.
When those gray colored lightning struck the Gold Punishment Lord's body, they were simply unable to break through his defense. Qin Yu's Divine Awareness was able to easily see this scene.
"It would appear that even the Divine Lightning is unable to harm the Gold Punishment Lord in the slightest." Qin Yu thought in his heart. "After the Gold Punishment Spiritual Pearl fused with his body, his body's toughness has increased. His Gold Power has increased. The increase is simply too great."
However, right at this moment, Qin Yu's expression changed.
In the center of the gray colored fog, the breathing of the Gold Punishment Lord who was standing still sounded. That was because the sound of his breathing was very loud. It was like the sound of bellows.
"Huff, huff, huff …" The Gold Punishment Lord Xing Yuan was gasping for breath in a low voice. His two eyes were completely red. It was as if he was about to go crazy. Merely, his hands were tightly clenched. The veins on his forehead were also bulging.
"What's going on?" Qin Yu was shocked.
