908 Tempering the Soul in the Heavenly Tribulation, Return of the Bull (1)
In the Moon Worship Region, there was a sacred place in the center called the Repentance Plain.
It was sacred before because it was where the Imperial Palace of the ruler of this region was.
The current holiness was because it was the headquarters of the Red Moon Shrine.
Although it was referred to as plain, in reality, it was an inland island surrounded by a sea of blood from countless beings. However, its expanse was vast, comparable to the size of an entire county.
On this Repentance Plain stood a kneeling statue. Its height surpassed all the mountains in the Moon Worship Region and seemed to reach the sky.
This was the former ruler of this region.
Even in death, a terrifying pressure still emanated from it and enveloped the surroundings. Above its head stood a huge palace in the shape of a crown.
This palace was red like a sealing shackle that suppressed this statue, causing the knees of the ruler statue to sink slightly every year.
This was the headquarters of the Red Moon Shrine.
There were countless temples built around the statue. The cultivators entering and exiting them wore red robes. Everyone was very quiet and everything was silent.
This was because the divine son didn’t like noise.
However, today, two rainbows shot over from the north and east. They were like two sharp blades that tore through the sky, destroying the silence.
The rainbow from the north carried an endless aura of death and transformed into the armored daughter of the ruler.
The figure from the east stirred up endless storms which then gathered into a brown robe.
A momentum that could swallow mountains and rivers manifested from the two figures, causing the firmament to ripple and void to collapse wherever they passed.
Their arrival caused the sea of blood on the ground to surge and the temples to shake.
The terrifying aura carried the intent to destroy the world. The instant it descended, a gentle voice rang out from the temple on the ruler statue.
“Brother Crown Prince, and my dear Third Sister, your escape surprised me greatly.”
As the voice rang out, a red figure walked out of the temple.
His appearance caused the color of the sky to change. Thousands of auspicious lights shone brightly and endless light spread out from his body, spreading to the entire world.
He stepped into the sky, causing the heavens and earth to blur and all things to distort as he faced his blood relatives.
As they looked at each other, the three incredible figures initiated a collision of their respective worlds, blurring everything.
The level of their battle wasn’t something that most living beings could sense. Everyone on the ground could only see the sky churning and the sun, moon, and stars appearing at the same time.
Countless temple cultivators lowered their heads with pious expressions. All of them bowed and muttered.
“Lord Red Moon, guide the Wanggu. Mourn for all living beings, and enjoy paradise.”
This voice was like a song that floated in the world.
As for the final outcome of this divine battle that happened in the Repentance Plain, no one knew. However, the fluctuations caused by this battle enveloped the entire sky of the Moon Worship Region.
It was as though the heavenly fire crossing the sky phenomenon had appeared again, affecting the rules and disrupting the laws.
All living beings couldn’t rise into the sky during this period of time. Even the sun where Xu Qing and the group were at rapidly sank after nearing the south.
In the end, it was put away by the captain. The four of them had no choice but to land on the ground and stand on the top of a mountain.
Stepping on the mountain rock, the captain and Xu Qing looked into the distance. As for Wu Jianwu, his heart pounded with fear and his expression was solemn.
A long time later, the captain and Xu Qing looked at each other.
“They’ve started a war,” Xu Qing calmly said.
“It’s too early. It’s very difficult to succeed.”
The captain shook his head. After commenting, he took out a peach and took a bite.
“However, it’s not a bad thing for us. It’s just that this matter isn’t something we can participate in at the moment. Let’s continue our plan.”
“Little Qing, next is your Eldest Senior Brother’s territory. Are you ready?”
To the captain, the most important thing now wasn’t the battle in the temple but the Heavenly Bull Mountain they were going to.
He was going to let Xu Qing know his past glory.
Xu Qing was expressionless. The other party had said this seven to eight times on the way.
Seeing that Xu Qing wasn’t cooperating anymore, the captain threw out an apple. Xu Qing caught it and took a bite, his face revealing anticipation.
The captain was instantly satisfied.
Wu Jianwu and Ning Yan, who were at the side, looked at each other and sighed. Previously, when Xu Qing wasn’t around, the captain had never given fruits to them. Now that Xu Qing was around, they still didn’t receive them.
“Let’s go!” The captain was smug and was about to move forward.
Xu Qing stopped in his tracks and looked at the sky.
“Eldest Senior Brother, what do you think will happen if we attract heavenly tribulation at this time?”
The captain immediately understood what Xu Qing meant. After glancing at Wu Jianwu and Ning Yan, he transmitted his voice.
‘Your Purple Moon Nascent Soul?’
Xu Qing nodded. After experiencing the incident in the northern icy plains, all of his nascent souls had reached the great circle of perfection of the first tribulation.
The captain fell silent. After looking at the sky, he laughed.
“Junior brother, your idea is interesting. This region has experienced a battle of extraordinary scale, causing the laws of heaven and earth to become chaotic. This is not a common occurrence, and at a time like this, invoking a heavenly tribulation may result in two possible outcomes.”
“The first outcome is that the heavenly tribulation can’t arrive and is stopped outside, allowing you to avoid the tribulation and obtain the heavenly mandate.”
“As for the second outcome, the heavenly tribulation will be even more powerful and might even affect the soul.”
“So, have you thought it through?” The captain looked at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing fell silent and slowly spoke.
“If it’s the latter, I should be able to obtain more heavenly mandates and temper my soul.”
