Chapter 805: Venerable Sovereign’s Attack (1)
Months later, Wang Yun, Yu Yan, Bai Yuying, Luo Qing, and the other Dao companions who were traveling in the other worlds returned to the Abyss of Supreme Darkness. Although they had been traveling for more than 200 years, their cultivation levels had not fallen. Among them, Ying Yue, who cultivated the fastest, had already broken through to the Tribulation Transcendence realm. Yue Lingluo was not far from the Tribulation Transcendence. The rest had all reached the middle and late stages of the Mahayana Realm.
Even Jing Huilan, whose cultivation had always been the lowest, was already at the mid-stage Mahayana Realm. It could be said that none of Shen Ping’s Dao companions were weak. With the divine powers they cultivated and immortal artifacts, they were comparable to Itinerant Immortals below the third tribulation.
Furthermore, Yin Ting, who had stepped into the scaled realm, had the bloodline of a strange beast. She was the strongest among his many wives and Dao companions. Itinerant Immortals were not her match at all. Even Heavenly Immortals could not do anything to her.
“Husband, are you ascending?”
As soon as they came back, Bai Yuying whimpered, “I’m only at the late-stage of the Mahayana Realm. I’m still a distance away from the Tribulation Transcendence Realm. I can’t ascend with you.”
Shen Ping scratched Bai Yuying’s face and said with a smile, “Do you regret it now? I told you to focus on cultivation long ago. You only wanted to play. However, the mid-stage of the Mahayana Realm is not bad. In the future, you can break through in the World Pearl after working hard for thousands of
years.”
From the Mahayana Realm to the Tribulation Transcendence, it was mainly the condensation of the soul. The reason why Ying Yue and Yue Lingluo could progress so quickly was probably because they had gained something from traveling outside.
Wang Yun, Yu Yan, and the others did not say anything. Although they really wanted to ascend with Shen Ping, they knew very well that they could not drag their husband down again. Moreover, the commotion caused by their husband’s ascension was definitely not low. If they ascended with him, it would affect him.
“Alright, I will accompany you all for the next two years. After I ascend, you all have to work hard and strive to ascend to the immortal dao territory within a thousand years. I will wait for you all there.
“Yes, husband.”
For the rest of the time, Shen Ping accompanied his wife, concubine, and Dao companions to travel around Gray Stone City and live a life like an immortal couple. At the same time, he adjusted his mental state.
Two years passed.
The tens of thousands of descendants of the Shen family had all returned to the Shen family’s main residence from various worlds and the districts of the Abyss of Supreme Darkness. His wife, concubine, and Dao companions surrounded Shen Ping, their eyes filled with reluctance.
“Ting’er, after I ascend, 1 have to trouble you to continue staying here to take care of them.”
“Don’t worry, husband, I will.”
Shen Ping looked at Ying Yue again. Ying Yue nodded. Her strength in Tribulation Transcendence was the strongest other than Yin Ting. Then, he gave Wang Yun, Yu Yan, and the others a few more instructions before summoning his son, Shen An, and the other first-generation bloodlines. He instructed them to take good care of the family and try their best not to have any conflict with the other forces in the Abyss of Supreme Darkness, but they did not have to be afraid.
After instructing them, he looked at the densely packed descendants of the Shen family around the pavilion by the lake and smiled. From the moment he cultivated until now, excluding the time in the palace world, he had already experienced more than 6,300 years. He had grown from a rogue cultivator to now and was finally about to ascend to become an immortal.
Boom.
While his thoughts were flying, a huge amount of magic power was released from his body, and his powerful soul did not suppress it at all. All of it erupted. Waves of pressure enveloped the entire City Lord Residence and spread in all directions at an extremely fast speed.
The moment Shen Ping released his cultivation, the world above Gray Stone City instantly condensed a nine-day lightning tribulation. In an instant, black clouds surged and lightning wreaked havoc.
“Who wants to undergo the tribulation in Gray Stone City?
“From the looks of it, they’re at least experts above the Mahayana Realm. Could it be that someone has transcended and ascended?”
“Perhaps it’s an Itinerant Immortal calamity.”
“Look, it’s the City Lord Residence. It’s City Lord Shen!”
“What, City Lord Shen is ascending?”
When the lightning tribulation gathered, the entire Gray Stone City and even the nearby cities sensed the might of heaven and earth’s lightning and immediately looked at the center of the lightning.
Almost instantly, all the factions in the Abyss of Supreme Darkness had received the news that Shen Ping was about to undergo the tribulation and ascend.
Powerful figures rushed towards Gray Stone City at an extremely fast speed, while the experts from Gray Stone City fled, afraid that the huge lightning would draw out their own Lightning Tribulations.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Shen Ping took a step into the sky. After taking ten steps, the Nine Heavens Purple Lightning that had gathered and brewed formed a lightning pillar that charged down, completely enveloping him. The purple lightning was extremely powerful and could destroy an Itinerant Immortal’s body, but when it landed on Shen Ping, it did not even shake his armor.
The lightning pillar lasted for nearly five minutes before slowly disappearing. The thunderclouds in the sky continued to gather. Most Tribulation Transcendence cultivators would experience three, six, or nine different levels of lightning tribulation when they ascended. The further they went, the stronger the lightning tribulation would be. By the sixth lightning tribulation, they could already shatter the bodies of Itinerant Immortals below the sixth tribulation.
However, basically all tribulations stopped here. Nine tribulation thunderclouds rarely appeared.
Another ten seconds later, the second lightning pillar descended. Shen Ping walked leisurely. His accumulation was too deep. Not only had the strange beast bloodline in his body reached a perfect level, but his soul and will had also reached the Golden Immortal level. Moreover, he had comprehended many Heaven and Earth Great Dao. If he was willing, he could use the Heaven and Earth Great Dao to dissipate the thunderclouds in the sky.
Then, the third, the fourth,
At the sixth, there was a large number of cultivators floating far away from the city.
“It’s about time for the sixth bolt. This bolt of lightning is peerless. Many Tribulation Transcendence cultivators in the Abyss of Supreme Darkness have fallen under this bolt of lightning. If they’re lucky, they can become Itinerant Immortals. If they’re unlucky, their souls will be destroyed..”
