Figthing with the Heavenly Tribulation Directly, Shocking Everyone!

--- Chapter 254 ---

Heaven has made its decree.

Thunderclouds rolled in the sky, countless lightning dragons swam, and dread sensation permeated the Demonic Region. 

Everyone felt the end of the world was about to come. 

Of course, those with profound cultivation and a deep understanding of the world understood this is not the world's end.

The chaotic atmosphere is a sign. 

Yes, this is a sign of someone's breakthrough. A breakthrough that hasn't happened since ancient times.

Many Dou Saints and Half-Saints gazed in the Demonic Region's direction with longing looks. 

This intensity.

This blood-burning sensation.

They could feel their skin crawl upon sensing the imminent trial. 

They knew. They knew someone had triggered a trial to reach that legendary realm!

One after another, countless experts moved to the Demon Region to witness this ascension. 

At the Fallen Orchid Sect, Baek Ain sighed helplessly. Lan Rou really triggered her breakthrough in the most awkward way possible. 

Lan Rou's incarnation felt Baek Ain's helplessness and said, "My 'main' body can't hold it anymore. She had been harnessing the power of Six Paths and Behemoth for a while now." 

"If she waits any longer, we will explode..." 

"If I were to explode, everything would be fine, but..." 

"She's the main body, got it," Yunyun commented while staring at the dark sky. "What should we do, Ain?" 

"It seemed our previous arrangement wouldn't be much work." 

Baek An shook his head gently, "It will be fine. Bingbing would still protect the border from the Hun Clan and Hall of Souls." 

"As for the hyenas... Let's see which fist is bigger, me or theirs." 

Baek Ain wasn't afraid of these pesky Half-Saints and Dou Saints. They are nothing but ants after his recent travel from the Heaven Genesis World.

'Since they want to come, then come. They would never leave the Demonic Region alive!' 

Crackle~!

Another sound of a thunderclap echoed in the Demonic Region. 

Yafei frowned, "I will tell the Behemoth Paradise's agents to make some preparations. Lan Rou's breakthrough is important, but we can't let common folks suffer." 

Hearing this, the coldness around Baek Ain eased. He smiled, "You're right, let's do that." 

Yunyun narrowed her eyes. She was speechless.

Wasn't calming Ain this easy?

Yafei glanced at Yunyun and winked, 'Ain is protective of his beloved, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have a kind heart. He acted cold, yet he saved many people on his journey.' 

'Yunyun, if you want to be in Ain's harem, you must know him more than surface level.' 

Of course, Baek Ain is 'completely' aware that Yafei tried to defuse the situation. 

He knew she didn't want him to slaughter people unnecessarily.

Good wife. Good wife.

Baek Ain glanced at the sky, "Might as well call Gu, Yao, Yan, and Lei Clan along." 

"About that..." Yunyun opened her mouth. "The Ancient Clans are locking themselves. I don't think they would even respond to your call." 

"Even the Dou Di's Breakthrough won't reach their ears." 

"Hmm, why?" Baek Ain tilted his head in confusion. 

"The damage done by the failed ambush is enormous." Lan Rou's incarnation opened her mouth. 

"In our last meeting, we discovered that the Hall of Souls used the revived elders of Ancient Clans to attack civilians. Each major city experienced 40% damage." 

"Many people died, which left the Ancient Clans in difficult situations." 

"Even the other Ancient Clans that weren't parts of the ambush plan experienced the same fate." 

"The Hall of Souls' counterattack is vicious." 

She sighed, "Being able to foresee the future basically allowed them to escape our net." 

"I see..." Baek Ain wondered if his disciples were okay. He hoped they didn't suffer much. 

Thankfully, Baek Ain has left some backups for his disciple-lovers. With enough time, they should be able to rise from messy ashes and become phoenixes.

There are also problems with Yi Xian and Qing Lin. They haven't entered anyone's radar after the meeting. According to Lan Rou, that is.

Well, Lan Rou wasn't eager to meet anyone as well.

They are probably somewhere in the Dou Qi Continent. 

'Yi Xian is too lazy to go anywhere. As for Qing Lin, she might be at that place.' Baek Ain recalled his conversation with the adorable green-haired girl.

"Ain." 

"Ain!" 

"Hmm, have you contacted them?" Baek Ain gazed at Yafei.

Yafei nodded, "They will be here in minutes." 

"It's just that I'm afraid Lan Rou's breakthrough will wait." 

Baek Ain smiled, "It will be fine. Lan Rou's Heavenly Tribulation is also a deterrent. Those who wanted to come and make trouble wouldn't expose themselves until a crucial time." 

And as Baek Ain said, there are no attackers for five minutes. Yes, only the watchful eyes of outsiders.

"Lan Rou is 'spiritually' connected to you, right?" Baek Ain glanced at Lan Rou's incarnation.

The incarnation nodded, "Yes, we are. In fact, we are sharing a sense. It's just that she was 'solely' focused on a breakthrough right now." 

"I can still give her a massage if you want to do that." 

Baek Ain chuckled, "Good. Although Lan Rou's situation is dire, I have laid a plan for her."

"When the time is right, she must..." 

...

...

A wormhole appeared near the Fallen Orchid Mountain Range.

"Is this the place?" said a woman in white, looking around.

If Baek Ain were here, he would recognize this woman as Behemoth Paradise's No. 1 Serial, though she now goes by Bai Linglong.

Bai Linglong stared at the mountain range ahead, "Let's go." 

She led a group into the hidden passage, entering the Fallen Orchid Sect without triggering any alarm. 

Upon their arrival, a white pillar of light rose to the sky. 

Lan Rou's main body burst out from the depth of the Fallen Orchid Sect and soared to the thunderclouds.

ROAR! 

A dragon-shaped crimson lightning descended from the sky and opened its mouth at Lan Rou.

Lan Rou stretched her fist, covering it with a mystical-looking silver-black flame.

She punched out and clashed with the tribulation straight ahead.

"She's crazy!" 

"Why did she attack directly?"

"This woman is nuts!"

The Dou Saints and Half-Saints watched from the shadows and rubbed their eyes in disbelief. They felt Lan Rou was courting death by doing this.

Where are the defensive formations?

Where are your pills?

I thought you needed a calm heart to break through. What's with the punch?

Are you going to fist-fight the Heavenly Tribulation?

Hiss!

Even then, after watching Lan Rou's clash, they couldn't help but suck a cold breath.

They haven't seen someone shattering heavenly tribulation's lightning getting punched into nothingness.

It was too absurd.

The name of Orchid Immortal is not unknown in the Dou Qi Continent, but only a handful of people have seen her in action.

And as if responding to Lan Rou's might, heaven sent two more crimson lightning dragons.

Lan Rou calmly recited something, causing her body to become blurry.

"She's gone?" Everyone was confused.

Suddenly, one of the lightning dragons got cut into three pieces.

Lan Rou reappeared, wearing a burning silver-white robe. Her white hair fluttered, swaying left and right like an illusory flame.

A dagger with an orchid-shaped handguard, gleaming with coldness, is firmly grasped in her hand.

Baek Ain watched Lan Rou's new form and mumbled, "That's right, Lan Rou. Show them the might of the Demonic Queen."
