The Heavenly King Tribulation was vast and world-shaking.
The Heavenly Kings of the nine great imperial dynasties all widened their eyes, looking at this scene with shock and astonishment.
It was simply because the Heavenly King Tribulation of the Three Immortal Maidens was too terrifying. The moment it appeared, it enveloped an area exceeding a hundred thousand li around them, and it was continuously expanding. Endless tribulation directly descended, with lightning becoming an endless ocean.
Just the vast thunderous might before the storm was enough to make Heavenly King experts pale.
They were able to become Heavenly King realm figures, naturally possessing extraordinary and astonishing talent, and their own tribulations had once been shocking. But compared to the tribulation of the Three Immortal Maidens now, it was simply not worth mentioning.
Some experts who had also entered the starry sky detected the vast tribulation and similarly widened their eyes in disbelief. Could such a terrifying Heavenly King Tribulation really be invoked by humans? It was clearly capable of destroying worlds.
Ye Chen sat cross-legged in the starry sky, observing intently.
It was precisely because they were Immortal True Kings, precisely because they were about to achieve the Tenth Heaven, precisely because they were about to break into the Heavenly King domain, that their tribulation was so fearsome.
The Three Immortal Maidens were all simultaneously making their breakthrough, undergoing a great realm leap and transformation.
Visible to the naked eye, within the tribulation of each of the Three Immortal Maidens, not only were ten-thousand-zhang lightning bolts galloping down, but they were also accompanied by one legendary terrifying tribulation after another, such as the Innate Five Elements Tribulation, the Earth, Water, Fire, Wind Tribulation, the Dao Weapon Tribulation...
All kinds of world-shaking great tribulations continuously surged forth, endless and boundless. Tribulation light soared to the heavens, also filling the vast starry sky, shaking the endless star domains.
Here, it was as if three of the most blazing and dazzling suns were blooming—thunder suns, countless times more brilliant and terrifying than ten heavenly suns.
The world was shocked. The Heavenly King Tribulation of the Three Immortal Maidens had actually reached such a terrifying level.
The Goddess Zhao Jingruo was like a mortal world empress, awakening and reviving. A pillar of divine radiance shot out from the crown of her head, her aura overwhelming. Her two lifetimes' Dao Fruits were merging, making her many times stronger in an instant.
Behind her, one divine halo after another appeared. In the end, ten halos manifested, completely stepping into the realm of the mythical Tenth Heaven.
But she was also taking action. With a wave of her hand, she carried wisps of Primordial divine radiance, capable of slaying immortals above and killing gods below.
She was peerlessly beautiful throughout the ages, yet also incomparably forceful, possessing a powerful will that could dominate heaven and earth.
The Goddess traversed the heavenly tribulation as if an empress launching an attack, displaying the Primordial Divine Guidance. There was also a Great Dao Treasure Vase, striking against the vast tribulation, shattering all obstacles, and simultaneously impacting the Heavenly King realm.
Yi Wu, known as the Divine Maiden in the myriad realms, also condensed the Tenth Heaven, drawing upon the Great Dao essence of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, with her two lifetimes' Dao Fruits erupting.
Although she was a woman, peerlessly beautiful and graceful, with a gentle and refined temperament like a lady from a great family, serene and moving, her strength was equally formidable. She had simply never shown off her abilities.
With a delicate shout, her slender hand lightly raised, a seven-colored immortal ribbon danced, sweeping out seven-colored divine radiance that swept through the heavenly tribulation. She was like the Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens, or a female immortal, bright and captivating yet matchless in the world, continuously blasting through the starry sky, gathering the vast tribulation power for her own use.
Chen'er, blessed with the spiritual wisdom of heaven and earth, with autumn waters as her spirit and jade as her bones—this described a woman like her, with a pure heart, innocent and guileless.
Lively as a sprite, she lightly stepped with her lotus feet. One green lotus after another bloomed, spraying auspicious colors and immortal qi. Moreover, a twelve-petaled lotus platform flew out, allowing her to sit cross-legged upon it. Endless auspicious colors descended, and the sound of the Great Dao's principles resonated.
Vaguely, she communicated with the origin of heaven and earth, absorbing the essence of the great world. Furthermore, one hazy figure after another appeared, guarding her and blocking the worldly tribulation.
...
Zhao Jingruo, Yi Wu, and Chen'er—the Three Immortal Maidens—each was so extraordinary, with beauty that eclipsed the ages, and cultivation that equally astonished all eternity.
They each displayed their divine abilities, carrying wisps of immortal-ascension light, clashing with their own Heavenly King Tribulations.
Phenomena such as divine lotuses blooming from the void, the Great Dao transforming into a rain of light, Primordial Divine Guidance, celestial palaces rising and falling, and the descent of the heavens above—all shook the myriad realms, manifesting within the vast thunder tribulation.
The scene of the Three Immortal Maidens undergoing tribulation was in no way inferior to that of other Immortal True Kings, shaking the vast starry sky.
But it was clear that although terrifying, each of the Three Immortal Maidens was extraordinary and capable of enduring the tribulation.
Ye Chen had been sitting cross-legged in the starry sky all along, motionless, as if eternal and immortal, with hazy ancient Chaos Qi flowing around him. Yet he was also closely observing to avoid any accidents.
His glabella radiated with majestic brilliance, like a sun shining. His divine sense was enough to cover this vast star domain, incredibly powerful.
The Heavenly King Tribulation lasted for a full three days and three nights, rumbling and resonating, illuminating the myriad realms, until it reached its conclusion.
The Three Immortal Maidens had also suffered heavy injuries, even experiencing fatal crises, but they all endured. This was because each had been taught the Divine King Rebirth Art by Ye Chen, and they also had Ten-Thousand-Year Medicine Treasures, Recovery Divine Pills, and many other life-preserving treasures at hand. Ye Chen had always been closely watching, so no accidents occurred.
Moreover, due to the guardianship of the nine Heavenly Kings, in the end, no terrifying figures dared to make a move to seize the Dao Fruits of the Three Immortal Maidens.
Finally, the Three Immortal Maidens achieved the status of Tenth Heaven Supreme Heaven's Prides and also became Heavenly Kings. Their auras pierced through the six directions and eight wildernesses, awe-inspiring the world.
They breathed in the vast essence of the broad starry sky, absorbing it to repair their injuries, and immediately proceeded to seal themselves to avoid the rules of the Ancient Emperor Continent descending and forcibly sending them away into the Divine Realm.
During this period, several terrifying figures appeared in the void. They were all experts from the imperial clans and the three Sacred Lands. However, after gazing from afar, they did not approach.
Perhaps they were wary of the nine Heavenly Kings, but more so, they were wary of Ye Chen.
Regarding all of this, Ye Chen paid no heed.
Afterward, the group returned to the Central Heavenly Palace. Ye Chen even used his own Saint Body essence blood to temper the bodies of the Three Immortal Maidens, eliminating all hidden injuries and old ailments, allowing each of them to undergo a bodily sublimation, becoming supremely divine and sacred.
He also had the Three Immortal Maidens comprehend the Dao within the power of faith and consolidate their Heavenly King realm cultivation.
Because of the tribulation undergone by the Three Immortal Maidens, the heritage of the Sacred Domain grew significantly stronger once more, becoming even more formidable.
This year was the twenty-second year since Ye Chen became revered and the fifteenth year since he established his sect.
Subsequently, the Great Era rotated, the years changed, and time flowed on.
During this period, in various desolate and uninhabited regions, the most terrifying thunder tribulation roars occasionally resounded. They were all Immortal True Kings undergoing tribulation; they were all breaking into the Heavenly King domain one by one.
The Peacock King once sought out Ye Chen, asking if they should take action when those Immortal True Kings were undergoing tribulation to kill one or two, as some True Kings had past enmity with Ye Chen.
But Ye Chen stated it was unnecessary. The stronger they became, the happier he was.
The Peacock King was very puzzled, looking at Ye Chen with surprise and doubt, but Ye Chen shook his head and remained silent.
Because only he knew that the future would be bloodstained, facing enemies unimaginably powerful. More such individuals needed to grow, preferably able to resist the enemies together with him. Otherwise, in the bloodstained future with only him alone, it would likely be difficult to change.
That scene was truly profound, eternally engraved in his heart, the source of his efforts to progress.
He would rather the opponents in the myriad realms be stronger, even stronger than him—it didn't matter. After all, they were ultimately people from this universe, while the enemies came from another universe.
