Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 1168 - 1154: Holy Calamity Descends

Baiyu Holy Land.

Xiao Yi stood proudly among earth fire, water, and wind, with the path of the Great Dao manifesting behind him.

Amidst the vast starry sky, an ancient path stretched across the void.

Although this ancient path seemed merely a hundred steps long, in the eyes of all, this road was even less spectacular than the garden path of an external courtyard. Yet this seemingly inconspicuous ancient path led directly into the profound depths of the starry sky, traversing the dark void as if it were a road to the desolate eternity.

Moreover, it was a heavenly path, desired by countless powerful beings!

Reaching to the depths of the sky.

Simultaneously...

This ancient path also led directly to the martial peak.

The path to sanctification!

"Saint, the Saint’s Path..."

"Hundred steps to become a Saint, Xiao Yi actually defied all odds and is about to step into the Sacred Venerate Realm?"

"From what I know, Xiao Yi has only been cultivating for a little over a decade! And now he’s about to step into the Sacred Venerate Realm? My heavens, I feel like I’ve been living like a dog all these thousands of years..." The speaker was the Right Protector of the Changsheng Sect, his face filled with astonishment and disbelief, also filled with self-deprecating shame.

The Jialuo Prison Master, who was previously sparring with him, wore a dark face and smiled bitterly, "If thousands of years are akin to living like a dog, then haven’t I been living even worse than a dog these tens of thousands of years?"

Since the Ancient Times, the Jialuo Prison Master had been imprisoned in the Endless Ice Prison.

For an entire tens of thousands of years.

He now was still stopped at ninety-nine steps on the path of the Great Dao, still facing one final restriction short of a hundred steps to sanctification.

The crowd: "..."

Beyond the heavens.

Both Monster Black Cloud and Fang Ru halted their intense battle, simultaneously gazing towards the direction of Baiyu Holy Land, where the Saint Tribulation was being formed from the gathering heavenly forces. Their faces were unavoidably filled with shock.

"That child is truly about to step into the Sacred Venerate Realm?"

Monster Black Cloud tightly clenched his fists, teeth clenched in steel, even with his mindset, he couldn’t help but have a shaken heart at the moment. His face was more solemn than ever, "This child cannot be left. If allowed to continue growing, he will inevitably become a dire threat to my Changsheng Sect!"

A hint of killing intent flashed by.

Yet it was swiftly picked up by the sharp senses of Fang Ru.

Fang Ru let out a cold snort.

He had completely accepted Xiao Yi as his son-in-law; after the one from Tianya Sea Pavilion, Xiao Yi was the only one in the Qingtian Realm who managed to sanctify himself relying on his own strength!

Even he, back in the day, greatly benefited from the extraterritorial battlefield, thus breaking through to Sacred Venerate.

Just from this, Xiao Yi had surpassed him!

Adding Xiao Yi’s sincere love for Fang Qingzhu, how could he have any discontent with such an almost perfect son-in-law?

Yet Monster Black Cloud dared harbor killing intent against his precious son-in-law.

How can he tolerate this?

Fang Ru gazed at Monster Black Cloud, face expressionless, and said with vigilance: "Monster Black Cloud, I’m putting this on record. If you dare disrupt Xiao Yi’s tribulation, I will drag you down with me despite sacrificing my life!"

"You..."

Monster Black Cloud’s face slightly changed.

Fang Ru’s determined eyes made Monster Black Cloud have to restrain the killing intent in his heart.

He had no doubt...

If he truly dared make a move against Xiao Yi, Fang Ru would certainly carry out his words and drag him down together.

Upon considering this.

Monster Black Cloud took a deep breath, gently sneering with a curl at the corner of his lips, "Both of us are in the Sacred Venerate Realm and have faced the Saint Tribulation. We understand its power well. You don’t even need me to act; whether Xiao Yi can withstand the Saint Tribulation is an unknown..."

"That’s none of your concern! Moreover..."

Fang Ru sneered, "Xiao Yi is my son-in-law; I believe he will successfully pass the Saint Tribulation!"

Though saying so.

Fang Ru’s aura still firmly locked onto Monster Black Cloud.

If he dared to make a move...

Fang Ru was fully confident he could stop him at the first moment.

Monster Black Cloud naturally sensed Fang Ru’s locked aura and knew he couldn’t act under Fang Ru’s watch. He could only snort coldly without expression, saying, "Humph, then let’s watch!"

"Humph!"

Fang Ru coldly snorted, appearing calm and collected.

However, his heart was quite worried.

Having experienced the Saint Tribulation himself, he knew just how terrifying it could be.

Past heavenly tribulations were mostly thunder strikes.

With strong abilities, treasures, or even drugs, one could withstand them.

But the Saint Tribulation was different.

It had three phases.

The first phase remained Divine Punishment Heavenly Thunder.

The second was the Five Declines of Heaven and Man.

The third, the most daunting phase, was called the Heart Demon Tribulation.

In the first phase, Fang Ru wasn’t worried about Xiao Yi facing the Divine Punishment Heavenly Thunder. The second phase, the Five Declines of Heaven and Man, was fraught with danger, an internally spawned tribulation from the tribulation taker itself, entirely undefendable. As for the third phase, the Heart Demon Tribulation, it could only be fought with powerful will against heart demons.

Three phases of Saint Tribulation, each more challenging and dangerous.

A misstep, and there would be no burial place!

"I hope this kid can safely traverse the tribulation!" Fang Ru muttered to himself.

Among the crowd.

Chen Longxiang, with the help of Dongfang Qinglong, barely stood firm, eyes locked on the figure in the void, filled with resentment and hatred, cursing viciously, "He definitely cannot successfully overcome the tribulation, definitely cannot..."

Dongfang Qinglong’s expression was incredibly complex.

In old times.

He was hailed as the leading figure of the young generation in the Qingtian Realm, reputed as the most likely to sanctify himself in the Qingtian Realm, second only to the Pavilion Master of Tianya Sea Pavilion.

But now...

Xiao Yi, once an unknown youth, had surpassed him.

Dongfang Qinglong clenched his fists, steel clenched teeth muttered to himself, "Master said that the Saint Tribulation faced in the Qingtian Realm is tenfold, even hundredfold, more terrifying than that in the extraterritorial battlefield... He definitely cannot successfully overcome the tribulation, definitely cannot..."

Rumbling!

Terrifying booms resounded from the sky.

The pitch-black tribulation clouds covered all directions, enveloping the entire Baiyu Holy Land.

Colorful lightning coursed through the black sea of clouds.

Rumbling sounds deafening.

The terrifying heavenly might spread outward.

Forcing countless powerful beings within Baiyu Holy Land, unable to straighten their backs or raise their heads.

Yet the Divine Punishment Heavenly Thunder had not fallen.

The black cloud surged violently, compressing from its vastness enough to envelop the entire Baiyu Holy Land, now merely covering the range of Baiyu Capital Holy Mountain. But the pressure from the tribulation cloud was hundreds of times stronger...

Rumbling...

Under the terrifying heavenly might, the mountain body of the holy mountain cracked open.

Fissures spread across the mountain body.

As if it could shatter at any moment.

The Divine Punishment Heavenly Thunder had not yet descended but already possessed such a dreadful power.

If it truly descended, who could withstand it?

Amidst the horrified gaze of the crowd.

Xiao Yi abruptly opened his eyes, raised his head to the tribulation clouds which had transformed from black to colorful, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, saying each word slowly, "The legendary Saint Tribulation... Has it finally come?"
