Daoism Revival System: Start with fighting against Debunker Streamer

Chapter 507 - 506: Heavenly Dao Tribulation Suddenly Descends [Part 1]

"Did you eliminate that Black Rakshasa as well?" Lin Heng asked with a complex expression.

The Black Rakshasa indeed had monstrous karma.

But no matter what, Lin Heng only survived because of the other’s rescue.

The other had a life-saving grace towards him.

And now, his nephew Red Boy and brother-in-law Ox Demon King had already become generals of his Immortal Court.

So...

Lin Heng looked at Yang Jian with a complex expression until Yang Jian calmly said, "He is not dead."

"In this world, only he and Princess Iron Fan are left among the Rakshasas, and this tribe still has great uses. I won’t kill him."

Yang Jian exuded an air of confidence as if he controlled everything, as if Black Rakshasa’s fate depended solely on his whim.

"I see."

Lin Heng nodded, then cupped his hands and said, "Since that’s the case, I’ll then take my leave..."

He hadn’t finished saying goodbye.

Suddenly, the world inside the lantern trembled slightly, as if something had passed through the barrier of the Holy Soldier, landing on Lin Heng and Yang Jian.

Both of their eyes changed simultaneously, focusing on themselves, then Lin Heng looked up in disbelief and said, "I’ve been entangled by Karmic Fire."

Yang Jian frowned deeply, took a deep breath, and said with a gloomy face, "Another round of Heavenly Dao’s calamity has descended!"

...

...

The outside world was already in turmoil.

A killing intent from the heavens had descended.

A layer of strange grey fog enveloped the Eastern Desolate Continent.

To be precise, it enveloped the Dao Immortal Court of the Eastern Desolate Continent.

Inside the Immortal Court, countless members looked at each other, feeling an inexplicable pressure appear on their bodies, but they didn’t know where it came from.

Only Shen Gongbao, Sun Wukong, Red Boy, and others were shocked and furious as they looked up at the sky.

"Heavenly Dao’s calamity? It’s the Heavenly Dao’s calamity!!"

"Are we once again the tribulation responders?"

Too sudden.

This was too sudden.

Everyone was indignant, feeling as if they were bound by karma, just like when they were previously tribulation responders.

Though on the surface, there seemed to be no obvious effects.

But those who had experienced a calamity knew that once marked as a tribulation responder by the Heavenly Dao, their cultivation would be severely affected, as their karma and Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi would repel each other, and they would often suffer the pain of being burned by Karmic Fire.

Cultivation, fortune, and lifespan.

All would be shackled by the heavens and earth!

Of course, while these negative effects were terrifying, they weren’t the main issue.

Slaying a tribulation responder would earn rewards from the Heavenly Dao, which was the truly deadly point!

It can be said that once you become a tribulation responder.

You effectively become a marked target for anyone ambitious enough to claim.

The disaster of the Divine Enthronement, the mighty Great Shang was like this.

The calamity of the Journey to the West, where the Celestial Court fractured, was also like this.

The once-prosperous and glorious Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin tribes?

Because they were all tribulation responders, leading to the near-extermination of the Qilin, pure-blooded Phoenixes became rare in the world, and even the only relatively intact Dragon Race was imprisoned at the North Sea Sea Eye for endless ages.

One can imagine just how tragic the end for each tribulation responder’s faction was...

"So..."

"It is not us who are tribulation responders again, but rather, Daoism is the responder!"

Sun Wukong suddenly realized, standing among the sea of clouds, overlooking the beings of the Immortal Court, observing the hidden karma on their bodies, his expression turning extremely grim.

...

In the same world.

All major forces in the Immortal Realm were startled by the descending grey fog.

"Is it the Heavenly Dao’s calamity, truly the Heavenly Dao’s calamity?!"

"Hurry, quickly deduce who the tribulation responders are this time!"

Powerhouses of the world fully awakened.

This round of the Heavenly Dao’s calamity came too abruptly, silently, causing panic among all major forces.

Especially top-tier forces like the Western Buddha Country, Great Qin Celestial Court, and Demon Race Celestial Court.

Fearing that this calamity would fall upon them.

There’s no other choice.

Throughout ancient history, there are examples of tribulation responders surviving the tribulation and eventually finding happiness.

But the factions that were tribulation responders, all without exception, ended in division and even extinction!

No matter how glorious you were before.

Once the Heavenly Dao deems you a sinner, your fate is sealed.

No one can change it!

"It’s been deduced."

In the Great Qin Celestial Palace, the enigmatic Ghost Valley Master, unrivaled in yin-yang divination, was the first to deduce this era’s tribulation responders.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the leading tribulation force this time is the Dao Immortal Court of the Eastern Desolate Continent, and the entire Daoism!"

Ghost Valley Master’s voice was hoarse, but at this moment, echoing within the Black Celestial Palace, it struck like thunder.

"It’s actually that new force?"

This caused shock in the hall, but also a collective sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, it’s not our Great Qin..."

"However, speaking of which, in the last calamity, the main tribulation responder was the Ancient Celestial Court, but due to its close ties with Daoism, it also ended tragically, nearly eradicated by the thriving Buddha Country..."

"Who would have thought, this time, Daoism would suffer again?"

"Why does it feel like the Heavenly Dao wants Daoism to perish completely?"

Many whispered, expressing tremendous awe and surprise that Daoism was the tribulation responder this time around.

"The Primordial Celestial Venerable just fell not too long ago, and now the Heavenly Dao’s calamity has fallen upon the Dao Immortal Court. Could it be that the rumor is true?"

"The Three Pristine Ones are opposing the Celestial Dao Saints?"

At the highest point of the Celestial Palace, the Ancestral Dragon, visible only as a majestic silhouette, was filled with various doubts.

Just then, Ghost Valley Master spoke again: "Reporting to Your Majesty, there is another special tribulation responder this time..."

"Who is it?"

"The newly reinstated saint, Lady Nuwa!"

"What?"

The Ancestral Dragon was shocked, causing the entire Celestial Palace to shake slightly.

"Nuwa? Nuwa also became a tribulation responder?"

"She had just regained her Saint Position, and now the Heavenly Dao condemns her?"

"Is this... is this real?"

All the ministers in the hall couldn’t believe it.

It’s known that Saints themselves are the agents of the Heavenly Dao, typically, the calamities of the Heavenly Dao, much of the time, are covertly orchestrated by the Saints.

When a calamity progresses unsmoothly and becomes a predicament, Saints themselves intervene.

For instance, during the Divine Enthronement period, as the calamity stalled, Daoism’s Three Pristine Ones, the Western Sect’s Zhunti and Jieyin, these Saints eventually intervened personally.

The Journey to the West Calamity was even more evident.

Emperor Haotian, the Celestial Venerable of Great Mercy, Lady Houtu, and other Saints.

Their downfall.

Which was not due to a Saint’s involvement?

To put it crudely, Saints are basically Heavenly Dao’s enforcers...

Yet now, Ghost Valley Master claims.

Lady Nuwa has also become the target of the Heavenly Dao’s tribulation.

How could the great cultivators within the Celestial Palace believe this?

Although there was a precedent of Lady Houtu being a tribulation responder in the last cycle.

But that was because the Underworld was the responder, and Lady Houtu insisted on protecting the Underworld, leading to her own demise.
