Chapter 112: Who Triggered the Heavenly Tribulation?

  "That is the ancient Gate of Life and Death, terrifying! It's only a hundred miles away from our Mystic Door," Xuan Wuming sighed. Facing this ancient legendary Gate of Life and Death that could end an era, he was powerless despite being a mid-level Sovereign in the Human Realm. Under the power of the ancient Gate of Life and Death, he was still just an insignificant existence like an ant.

  "If it weren't for Qin Hao's reminder, we would have all turned to ashes by now. Those Wang's auras seem to have vanished into thin air." The countless disciples of the Mystic Door were discussing heatedly.

  "I'm afraid they're all dead, this light is really too terrifying. If the direction of the light earlier was towards us, the entire Xuanmen would be annihilated, and the array set up by the Old Ancestor would be useless." Some people said that when Qin Hao reminded Xuan Wuming, Xuan Wuming led everyone to leave that place of dispute.

  He returned to the Xuanmen and activated the Hu Shan formation. He believed Qin Hao's words, and now they had indeed come true. Even the aura of the Wang had disappeared, let alone these kings.

  "Wang's aura has disappeared, what about Qin Hao?" Qing Xuan lowered her head, her delicate face filled with worry.

  "He might be dead too." Several senior elders discussed.

  "He's finally dead, he's finally dead. Even if you're a Panhuang God Vein, what difference does it make? You'll still die." Xiaoyu felt relieved in her heart. Qin Hao was her heart demon. As long as Qin Hao didn't die, her cultivation wouldn't progress even an inch. Now that Qin Hao is dead, her heart demon has also disappeared, and she might make rapid progress from now on.

  "No, he's not dead. The name on the Heaven's Chosen List hasn't been erased, which means he's still alive." Xuan Wuming suddenly said, and everyone forgot about the Heaven's Chosen List, a list that exists in every person's heart, where names are constantly being replaced, and every cultivator can sense it. Qin Hao had entered the 63rd position on the Heaven's Chosen List, if he were to die now, his name should have been erased from the list. "Really? It really hasn't been erased?" Some disciples sensed it, as long as they were cultivators, they could all sense the existence of the Heaven's Chosen List and the names within it were crystal clear.

  "Master Qin Hao really didn't die and is actually still alive, what's going on, how can this be?" Some disciples couldn't react in time, thinking it was too unbelievable.

  Even if Xuan Wuming was like this, in theory his strength should be able to rival Qin Hao's, but even he couldn't escape under that extreme light, yet Qin Hao's name on the Tian Gang list wasn't erased.

  Xuan Wuming observed the overall situation of Xuanmen, but found that at this time, the aura of Xuanmen not only did not decrease, but instead rose and flourished, with a hint of dragons flying in between. He was certain that Qin Hao must not be dead. If Qin Hao were dead, the aura of Xuanmen would not be so prosperous, and it would likely immediately present a disastrous scene, with miasma filling the air. This is because Xuanmen is the master of Xuanmen, and their auras are connected. If he were dead, the aura of Xuanmen would be completely cut off, and there would be a calamity that would destroy the sect.

  "It's actually not dead yet......" Looking at the crowd of enthusiastic disciples, Xiaoyu felt extremely entangled in her heart, and suddenly it seemed as if something was stuck in her chest again, carrying some kind of burden on her body, making her feel uncomfortable all over.

  "Shall we go and take a look, Master Taishang?" said Elder Sun Taishang, who was clearly concerned about Qin Hao's comfort. The Mystic Door has reached its current state today, and it can be said that it is all thanks to Qin Hao's efforts. They were able to break through also because of Qin Hao's efforts.

  "You and I, in the past, were nothing but futile efforts, and even possibly fallen. That place has already become a dead end." Xuan Wuming said helplessly. The location of the ancient life and death gate, within a hundred miles around, will all become a dead end.

  "Desolate land..." As soon as they heard this, everyone calmed down. Most people were worried about Qin Hao, but they couldn't do anything to help him. Even the master of the Taishangmen couldn't enter. If they went in, wouldn't it be sending themselves to their deaths? However, thinking about Qin Hao's great luck and that not many people had died in this disaster, many hearts felt at ease.

  But at this moment, hundreds of miles away, a shocking phenomenon suddenly emerged, with thunder and lightning, that terrifying aura rolled in, making them feel trembling even if they were separated by hundreds of miles.

  A loud rumbling sound, this is the heavenly thunderclap. The ordinary thunder and rain that occur every day are just ordinary thunder, but the heavenly thunderclap is specifically used to punish cultivators.

  "What's going on?" The people of the Mystic Gate were all bewildered. If it weren't for the obstruction of the Mountain Protection Grand Array, they would have all fallen to their knees by now. Still, some of them had weak legs and were trembling with fear in their hearts, wondering if this was an omen born from the ancient Life and Death Gate.

  "This is a heavenly calamity, and it's the terrifying Inverted Dragon Ascension Calamity. Only those who have defied the Heavenly Way will be met with this calamity. What's going on? How could such a calamity occur?

  Xuan Wuming was stunned this time. The Inverted Dragon Ascension Calamity only existed in ancient times, or even in the era of the ancient kings. It had never appeared during the era of the various kings, nor had it appeared during the Human Era. Anyone who has undergone such a calamity is a rebel against Heaven."

  "Heavenly Tribulation..." Many people were left speechless, for them, it was a distant and terrifying term. Legend had it that only the Saint King who had crossed the Three Calamities would encounter the Heavenly Tribulation, also known as the Nine Punishments. Whether they could be crowned king or not was uncertain, let alone the distant Heavenly Tribulation.

  Even so, this word is still inviolable in their hearts. Under the heavenly punishment, even the king of kings will fall, let alone these people. A thunderbolt can scatter their souls, not to mention heavenly punishment.

  "Who is crossing the tribulation?" This is a question for everyone in the Xuanmen.

  "Is it really true that the king of kings exists in this world? Is it really true that they have transcended the mundane?" Some people speculated, to them, the king was a legend, the holy king was an unattainable legend, and the king of kings was the strongest existence at this time, for them, it was a dream, perhaps one that would never be seen in their lifetime.

  "Is he a king of kings who defies the heavens?" Many people thought, because they knew that to defy the heavens, one would also need sufficient power. They had never thought that a famous general would do something that defied the heavens.

  Similarly, in the Great Sect, there was a shockwave. More than ten kings belonged to the Great Sect, but in an instant, their Longevity Lamps in the Great Sect all went out. This was an omen of downfall. Such a thing was enough to shock the world, even more shocking than Qin Hao's ascension to the Heavenly Punishment List.

  In the Grand Church, many powerful figures wanted to break through the void, but they found that the painted void network couldn't be transmitted again. This was because there would be a risk of collapse on the other side of the void, and once it collapsed, even the Holy King would be severely injured. Later, the seven major churches joined forces to calculate, but the result shocked everyone.

  "Qin Hao, how is it him again?" Some big shots were furious, and all the calculations pointed to one person, that was Qin Hao.

  In the Void Water Mirror of Tianxu Da Jiao, six old men with white beards appeared in it. Each one exuded a terrifying aura, and even their silhouettes made people feel submissive.

  The Void Water Mirror is a powerful tool created by the Great Ones using their divine powers to carve out a void network, allowing for communication over vast distances of hundreds of millions of miles. However, the consumption of this Void Water Mirror is also enormous, requiring at least several thousand high-grade yuan stones to activate it once.

  Apart from the six people in the water mirror, there was another person sitting cross-legged on a cushion, also emitting an aura of terror. It's probably the king who has arrived, and everyone will have to bow their heads.

  "The Izumo country is showing an abnormal sign, a great change is born. Now the four kings of our Tianxuan Great Teaching have all had their Longevity Lamps extinguished, it seems like there's more bad luck than good fortune. And all of this points to Qin Hao, but that person's fate trajectory is unclear and cannot be predicted." The white-bearded elder of the Tianxuan Great Teaching said.

  "That side of the void has already been sealed off, and even Broken Void can't get through. My Tianxu Great Doctrine has already sent out a Holy King to rush over." The Tianxu Great Doctrine is obviously anxious too, after all, they had secretly dispatched a Tianxu Divine Ark with three Kings on board, and now the Longevity Lamp has also been extinguished.

  "What on earth is Qin Hao? Is he a pawn in the chessboard of China or perhaps a pure land in the Western Regions?"

  "He was able to behead over a dozen kings, yet he himself did not die. This is the most bizarre part, and his name still remains on the Heavenly Punishment List." The Heavenly Punishment List represents the cultivators under the Dao, and it's impossible for a demon to behead over a dozen kings at once.

  In the Mirror of Water, each person has their own views, but no one knows where Qin Hao comes from. The Tianxu Sect and even the Submerged Saint King have taken action, but the distance is so far away that even with the speed of the Tianxu Divine Ark, it's likely to take several days to arrive.

  Just then, one of the elderly men who had not spoken up until now said: "Everyone, please calm down, our master has already deduced that this matter is not just related to Qin Hao, but also a major event that threatens the foundation of our sect."

  "What? Brother Tianji, please speak clearly." Everyone fell silent, and the old antique of the Tiān Xuán Great Sect spoke up, sounding somewhat respectful. Each of the seven sects of the Northern Dipper had its own strengths, and the Tiān Ji Great Sect was skilled in divination, achieving the effect of avoiding disasters and inviting good fortune. For example, the Tiān Shū Great Sect was skilled in refining equipment, and the Tiān Shū Divine Ark traversed the vast expanse of heaven and earth with unparalleled speed, capable of easily shattering the void.

  Tianxuan's strong suit is actually their magical techniques. In battle, Tianxuan's techniques are the most powerful. When Tianxuan's secret technique is unleashed, few can match it among those of the same level. However, the Beidou Seven Schools are on an equal footing, with no distinction between high and low.

  "The Ancient Gate of Life and Death has emerged." said the old man named Tianji, whose full name was actually Tianji Zi, the Supreme Elder of the Tianji Sect.

  "What? The Ancient Gate of Life and Death?"

  "The Gate of Life and Death at the End of an Era..."

  Everyone was frightened, the ancient gate of life and death spanned several eras, but at the end of each era, it would appear to end an era. The foundation of the Great Church would be shaken. It is known that in the era of the Great Emperor, the Great Church dominated, and under the Great Emperor, everything was insignificant. However, the appearance of the ancient gate of life and death ended the era of the Great Emperor, the world was stained with blood, the foundation of the Great Church was shaken, and the era of the Holy King began to arrive, from then on, the world would be without a great emperor.

  "If I'm right about the prophecy, Qin Hao has activated the ancient Gate of Life and Death's Extreme Light, annihilating everyone." Tianji Zi said.

  "This...!" The rest of the people were incredulous, stirring up a fatal aura that destroyed everyone. Has Qin Hao gone mad? At least in their eyes, he was mad. In this world, no one had ever dared to oppose the Great Sect before, but now one had appeared. However, the next moment, they thought of a question: Wang Dang had died, why was this person still alive? He had killed over a dozen of the Great Sect's top pillars in an instant, just like chopping vegetables, and yet he was still alive, living well.

  At this moment, the elder of the Tianxuan Sect suddenly received a message. As his divine eyes scanned the contents, his face changed greatly: "The person sent by my sect has arrived."

  "The person I sent has already arrived." Tian Shu Da Jiao's old man said, although the people of all sects were hundreds of millions or even tens of billions of miles away, they could directly break through the void and rush to Yun Guo, and then hurry to their respective places. After that, several people almost simultaneously received the transmission book.

  However, their faces didn't look good. The ancient book only had a short sentence: someone had triggered the heavenly tribulation, reversing the heavenly ascension tribulation. Even if the Holy King entered it, he would be chopped into flying ash.

  "Who triggered the heavenly calamity?" This was the doubt in the minds of these old antiques.
