Chapter 236 If you don't enter the tribulation, who will?
Chapter 236 If you don't enter the tribulation, who will?
Taiyi stared at Shuofeng's figure before him, and his mind went blank for a moment.
Taiyi's thoughts were instantly pulled back to the time when he was still on the Sun Star, before he was born.
The humiliation he suffered at that time surged into his heart like a tidal wave, causing Taiyi's heart to surge with emotion.
A thought suddenly flashed through his mind: why not take this opportunity to fight Senior Shuofeng?
He wanted Shuofeng to know that after so much cultivation and tempering, he, Taiyi, was no longer the same Taiyi he had been on the Sun Star.
He, Taiyi, has become stronger!
Back then, I was nothing but an ant in your hands!
But now I am ready to fight you!
I can even beat you!
Thinking of this, Taiyi continued his momentum, instead unleashing the full power of his three treasures to the extreme, causing them to shine brightly and display an overwhelming aura.
Sensing this, Shuofeng's eyelids twitched involuntarily, and he said irritably, "You little bird, you dare to attack me, the old ancestor Shuofeng, after not seeing me for a while?!"
After saying that, Shuofeng's expression suddenly turned serious, and he muttered to himself as if he were praying for something.
As his murmurs began, the surrounding air began to tremble slightly, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged violently.
It was constantly rolling like the tide.
Immediately afterwards, a deafening roar suddenly exploded, like ten thousand thunderbolts crashing down and the sky and earth splitting apart, shaking the entire world.
Amidst the astonished gazes of the celestial beings, a character that seemed to occupy the entire world suddenly appeared in the sky.
The moment the word 'town' appeared, an indescribable, terrifying pressure swept over everything.
The magical artifacts in the hands of everyone present suddenly lost their former spiritual power, becoming dull and lifeless, as if they had fallen into a deep sleep.
Even the innate treasures in the hands of Taiyi, Dijun, and Zhurong were the same; the earth-shattering, world-destroying power they originally emitted vanished in an instant.
As if it had been snapped in two by an invisible hand, it vanished without a trace.
This character '镇' (zhen, meaning town/town) was left by Hong Yuan.
It contained a trace of the primordial aura of the Great Millstone that destroyed the world.
Before this word, both the most precious treasures of merit and the most precious innate treasures are enough to be suppressed.
He knew that given the temperaments of Zhurong, Gonggong, and others, they would definitely be fighting all the time.
They might even bring out their most prized possessions in the heat of the moment.
The children, though they had all become Hunyuan Golden Immortals.
Unfortunately, they lacked any supreme treasures, and if a real battle broke out, they might not be a match for the Ancestral Witches.
However, without their most precious treasures, the Ancestral Witches would be utterly defeated by the group of children.
After all, Houtu and Xuanming, the two most powerful ancestral witches, are still half a step away from becoming Hunyuan Golden Immortals.
Ahem, as for why Houtu and Xuanming are the strongest, Hongyuan felt that he had so many nephews but only two nieces, so he should take better care of them.
This is why Hong Yuan left a single word; its purpose was to suppress the Ancestral Witches and others, and also to provide the children with a means to maintain order here.
The moment the word "town" appeared, Taiyi was the first to be affected.
He stared blankly at the three treasures beside him that were no longer responding, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Before he could react, he saw Shuofeng clench his fists, a ferocious smile on his face, and slowly walk towards him.
Upon seeing this scene, Taiyi couldn't help but swallow hard.
He tried to calm himself down, but his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
With great difficulty, Taiyi managed to force out a smile that looked even worse than crying.
He stammered incoherently, "Senior...Shuofeng, if I...I say this...is just a misunderstanding, would you...believe me?"
"Misunderstanding?!" Shuofeng walked up to Taiyi and gave him a playful look.
In Shuofeng's eyes, Taiyi's entire body was now wrapped in countless dark causal threads.
Countless karmic consequences slowly surged from that causal thread onto Taiyi's body.
With his cultivation at the mid-stage of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm, Shuofeng was naturally able to sense that the other end of that causal line was countless demons among the demon race.
Although Taiyi, as the Eastern Emperor of Heaven and the Demon Clan, had no karma of his own, some of the karma committed by the Demon Clan flowed into Taiyi.
Over the years, Taiyi's karma has become so intense that it is terrifying.
And it is worsening over time.
Seeing this, Shuofeng lost all interest in teaching Taiyi a lesson.
That little bird is really something; its face is so black, yet it doesn't even notice.
No wonder the next two great primordial calamities were related to them.
So stupid and foolish, if you don't fall into this predicament, who will?!
However, Taiyi was completely oblivious to the strange look on Shuofeng's face, and simply nodded with an embarrassed smile, "Yes, yes, Senior Shuofeng, it was just a misunderstanding. I didn't notice for a moment, I thought you were Zhurong..."
"Oh? Is that so?" Shuofeng chuckled, teasingly saying, "Then why do I feel like you've become even more energetic after seeing me? Could it be that you're holding a grudge about what happened on Sun Star and are planning to seek revenge on your ancestor?!"
Upon hearing this, Taiyi broke out in a cold sweat and said with a forced smile, "How could that be? Senior Shuofeng, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about it!"
Unexpectedly, after Taiyi finished speaking, Shuofeng's face suddenly darkened.
"Almost forgotten? So you mean you still hold a grudge against me?! Heh, Taiyi, you're forcing me to eliminate you completely!"
Taiyi felt like crying at that moment.
What is he supposed to say?
Nothing I say feels right!
Fortunately, Di Jun finally arrived, which made Taiyi breathe a sigh of relief.
Di Jun bowed respectfully to Shuo Feng, saying, "Di Jun greets Senior Shuo Feng!"
Shuofeng gave Dijun a deep look, a subtle glint of light flashing in his eyes.
The karma and karmic consequences on Di Jun's body were much stronger than those on Taiyi's body.
If Taiyi is a black bird, then Dijun is a lump of coal.
His face was so dark you could barely see his features.
That's normal, though. As the ruler of the Heavenly Court and the Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan, Di Jun's status is clearly higher than Tai Yi's.
Not to mention that both the Heavenly Court and the Demon Race were created by Emperor Jun.
This situation is indeed normal.
But he wouldn't offer any reminders, since it was all part of his master's arrangements.
The demon race is destined to face calamity, and in fact, it is one of the main protagonists in the upcoming inner demon calamity and the subsequent primordial calamity.
He naturally wouldn't say more.
So he simply nodded slightly and slowly said, "The Master already knows why you've come. He said that this Heavenly Court banquet is a good thing, and you can make your own arrangements. He will arrange for a group of Ancestral Witches to attend later. If you have nothing else to do, you may go back!"
Upon hearing Shuofeng's words, Dijun and Taiyi breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that Senior Shuofeng doesn't intend to teach them a lesson this time.
Moreover, they didn't find what Senior Shuofeng said at all strange.
After all, they knew before they came that the Daoist Venerable wouldn't care about their Heavenly Court's banquet, much less participate.
So naturally, they didn't find it strange.
I can't help but wonder who these Ancestral Witches that Senior Shuofeng mentioned are?
Could it be that Zhurong and Gonggong were the ancestral witches?!
