On the Divine Ocean Continent, countless people looked up into the sky. In the sky above the continent, there seemed to be a god-like figure standing there. He had transformed into a deity.
The destructive storm drowned out that space. Under the shocked gazes of everyone, the powerful Emperor Xi was being tortured by the order of the Great Path. Light of catastrophe of various colors charged towards him, attacking his body again and again. However, a terrifying light screen of the Great Path appeared around Emperor Xi's body, constantly resisting the light of catastrophe that attacked him.
Rumble … An incomparably heavy sound rang out. The sea region was in a frenzy, and towering waves were set off on the Divine Ocean. With Emperor Xi's body as the center, an absolute domain of the Great Path appeared. It was like a domain of the gods. It was a brilliant galaxy that surrounded his body endlessly. Emperor Xi stood in the middle of the galaxy as though he was the master of this galaxy.
Legend had it that god-level existences had their own divine domains of the Great Path. They were detached from the world and were not bound by the order of the Great Path. They were above the heavens and existed alongside the universe. They were immortal and indestructible.
This was also what all cultivators pursued. However, it was said that only those with a perfect Great Path were qualified to pursue it.
Now that the order of the Heavenly Path had changed, it did not allow the existence of transcendent existences. Hence, the Tribulation of the Order of the Great Path would descend. One had to go through all three tribulations before they could transcend. However, it was said that each tribulation was a test of life and death. Even existences of that level could also perish and be destroyed under the tribulations.
Emperor Xi had been cultivating on Turtle Deity Island on the Divine Ocean Continent for many years. He had been preparing for this.
The light of order continued to blast downwards in a frenzy. It charged into the light of the galaxy and collided with the power of the Great Path in the galaxy. It was annihilated and shattered. It was as though even the Great Path of the galaxy could not withstand the endless attacks of the light of order.
The radiance on Emperor Xi's body was dazzling. Brilliant divine light bloomed. Above his body of the Great Path, a boundlessly huge illusion of a divine turtle appeared. It was a giant Xuanwu beast. It enveloped Emperor Xi's body like a boulder.
"Protection of the galaxy, protection of the Xuanwu."
The people below were all shocked. It was too powerful. Even a figure of such a level had to go all out under the tribulations. Many Renhuangs trembled when they felt the might of the tribulations. Countless demonic beasts in the sea region did not dare to show their heads. They only wanted to bow down. This was the power of heaven; it could not be resisted.
Moreover, they could only feel the pressure. This power was only targeted at Emperor Xi and would not attack them. At most, it would just be the aftermath.
The Millet Emperor retracted his defenses, allowing Ye Futian and the others to feel this power firsthand.
This was the first time he had seen someone undergo a divine tribulation of the Great Path. Ye Futian was quite shocked. This tribulation was probably the strongest power that this world could contain.
Would Emperor Xi be able to withstand it?
"What's that?" Ye Futian saw an even more frightening power brewing in the sky above Emperor Xi. Endless storms of calamity clouds gathered together. He did not know how far away that place was from where he was, but it still made his heart palpitate.
"That is an attack condensed from the order of the Great Path. I heard that the order attack that appears when every cultivator passes the tribulation is different. Some are strong, and some are weak. I wonder what kind of power of order Emperor Xi will attract," the Millet Emperor said.
The divine light of the great dao gathered, and the light that shot out from that place was terrifying. It was so blinding that no one dared to look at it.
That surge of energy gradually condensed into a shape, causing everyone to be stunned. It was actually a sword.
"Sword of Order!"
The Millet Emperor's expression was solemn.
"Teacher, is this kind of order attack very strong?" Zong Chan asked the Millet Emperor. If he could reach Emperor Xi's level, he might also experience the same scene in the future — the tribulation.
"It is very strong. The Sword of Order gathers the swordsmanship of heaven and earth. It is an existence with extremely frightening attack power. For Emperor Xi, it might be a little dangerous," the Millet Emperor explained. This caused the hearts of the surrounding people to tremble. Even someone as strong as Emperor Xi would encounter danger?
This Sword of Order should be the most crucial attack.
Above the sky, the darkness dissipated, and the endless light of calamity gathered on the sword. A beam of light descended from the sky, seemingly piercing through this part of the sky. Even the sky was pierced. If this sword were to attack the Divine Ocean Continent, the continent would most likely be pierced through.
The cultivators of the Divine Ocean Continent all had solemn expressions as they stared at the Sword of Order in the sky. Before this, many people had the mentality of watching a show, but at this moment, they were all in awe.
This was the tribulation, the first tribulation of the divine tribulation.
Legend had it that every tribulation was a trip to the gates of hell. Every tribulation was a rebirth. There were three tribulations, and each one was stronger than the one before. Especially the most crucial third tribulation, it was said that not even one out of ten people survived. Many extraordinary figures had reached that step and perished under the tribulation. Hence, some cultivators would rather not undergo this tribulation and cultivate in seclusion, spending millions of years preparing for it.
The Divine Prefecture was too vast and boundless. Many people believed that there were some old monsters who had lived in seclusion for countless years.
At this moment, many people were worried for Emperor Xi. Could he withstand the attack of order?
"Rumble!"
A violent rumbling sound rang out. Ye Futian and the others looked down and saw that under the shattered Turtle Peak, the ground was shaking. The ground was cracking wildly, and terrifying cracks appeared.
Deep underground, in the burial ground, an enormous creature appeared. It had a turtle shell on its back.
This gigantic creature slowly rose into the sky. Everyone's hearts trembled violently. This gigantic divine creature was actually a giant beast.
"The Black Tortoise!"
Everyone was shocked. Under Turtle Deity Island, there was a giant beast, the Black Tortoise. No one actually knew about it. It seemed to have been sleeping all this time, silent and undetectable, merging with the earth.
The Black Tortoise let out a low growl. The Divine Sea roared, and huge waves rose to the sky. It raised its head, and then its figure flashed, soaring into the sky. In an instant, it traversed the sky. Such a gigantic creature was so fast that people could not even react before it reached Emperor Xi's side.
"You are already so old. What are you doing here?" Emperor Xi asked.
"To help you," the Black Tortoise spat out.
"No need," Emperor Xi replied.
The Black Tortoise looked up at the Sword of Order. No one understood Emperor Xi's strength better than him. Such a sword could really destroy his lifetime of cultivation.
"I slept for thousands of years just for this day," the Black Tortoise said. The Black Tortoise said, "Just as you said, what's the point of living for so many years?"
As it spoke, its huge body moved forward and came to Emperor Xi's side. It actually merged with the shadow of the Black Tortoise around Emperor Xi's body. Its eyes looked up at the divine sword, and a blazing light burst out.
The light of the sword shone down. The crowd saw that in the sky, the Sword of Order was slashing down. At this moment, the heavens and the earth were pierced.
The Black Tortoise looked up at the sky and roared. The sky trembled, and the land on the ground trembled. The Divine Sea raged, and huge waves swept towards the islands. The crowd felt their spiritual souls tremble, and their blood churned. However, their eyes were still fixed on the sword in the sky.
The sword fell, and dazzling divine light shone down, causing many to involuntarily close their eyes. They did not dare to look. Only cultivators at the Renhuang Plane could withstand this dazzling light. They squinted their eyes and looked up at the sky.
They saw the galaxy shatter. They saw the sword pierce down, and the huge body of the Black Tortoise was slowly torn apart. However, the eyes of the giant beast were still calm. It did not waver in the slightest.
The Great Path collapsed, and the mountains and rivers were shattered, but it was still there.
The Divine Sea Continent on the ground was pierced by the sword light, but the body of the Black Tortoise still did not collapse. The might of the Great Path on Emperor Xi's body was released to the limit, merging with the Black Tortoise. His long hair fluttered wildly, and a look of pain appeared in his eyes. He had already prepared to face the tribulation and allowed the world to come and watch. Regardless of whether he lived or died, he could face it calmly. At the same time, he was also warning the world what kind of existence the divine tribulation was.
"Old friend, I have to go." The voice of the Black Tortoise was a little muffled. It seemed to be exceptionally heavy. It was like a mountain, like a part of the sky, pressing down on Emperor Xi's body. Whether it was a human or a demonic beast, when cultivating in the world, they pursued the supreme Way. Who would really want to ask for death?
Even if they lived for countless years, they would still not be willing to die. The Black Tortoise was just comforting him.
At this moment, Emperor Xi did not ask why. Instead, he calmed down and said, "You go first. I will come and find you in the future."
"If you can't handle the tribulation in the future, then don't face it." As the Black Tortoise's voice rang out, his body crumbled bit by bit under the sword, exploding continuously. In the sky above, it seemed like the sky was falling and the earth was cracking.
Endless divine glory radiated from Emperor Xi's body. The galaxy became one as he bathed in the remaining might of the sword light.
Even after cultivating for a lifetime, it was still difficult for him to withstand the first divine tribulation.
A dazzling light bloomed. The Sword of Order turned into beams of light and disappeared. Many people closed their eyes.
After what seemed like a long time, the Clouds of Catastrophe in the sky gradually dispersed. Countless people looked up at the sky. The sword had disappeared, and the tribulation had also dissipated. Only one person was still standing there quietly. It was as if he had been standing there for a long time.
This figure was Emperor Xi.
"Congratulations, Emperor Xi." On the Divine Ocean Continent, countless people spoke up. Regardless of whether Emperor Xi could hear them or not, they were all happy for him.
So, this was the true divine tribulation. Previously, they had thought of it too simply. After truly witnessing the divine tribulation, it was as if they had also died once. They actually felt the same.
Emperor Xi had experienced life and death.
"Congratulations, Emperor Xi," on Turtle Deity Island, countless people said loudly, congratulating Emperor Xi on passing the divine tribulation of the Great Path.
The people of the top forces looked at the figure in the sky. They did not speak. They looked up at the sky quietly. To pass this tribulation, Emperor Xi had also paid a huge price. A super powerful giant Black Tortoise had fallen.
They actually did not know that there was such a terrifying Black Tortoise under Turtle Deity Island. Emperor Xi was too low-key. If it were not for this tribulation, no one would have known.
Unfortunately, such a giant Black Tortoise had fallen just like that. It was Emperor Xi's turn to pass this tribulation.
Emperor Xi still stood quietly high up in the sky. He just stood there. No one knew what he was thinking. However, they knew that Emperor Xi did not feel the joy of passing the tribulation of the Great Path. For Emperor Xi, this was a tribulation!
