Chapter 2078 - 2079: Heavenly Tribulation, Come!

The people of the Sage Alliance were searching everywhere for Ye Qiu’s whereabouts, but in fact, Ye Qiu had returned to the royal city of the Giant Elephant Dynasty.

The unification of the Giant Elephant Dynasty owed much to Ye Qiu’s contributions. However, upon his return, he kept a low profile, fearing the Sage Alliance might come looking for him. He only met with the Emperor, the Mighty General, and Hong Luan privately.

He simply wanted to bid them farewell. Of course, he didn’t mention where he was heading, and then he left alone.

With arms spread wide, Ye Qiu relaxed his whole body, urging his fortune, as radiant light began to envelop him.

Ye Qiu came and went silently.

Years later, the legend of Ye Qiu still circulated on the Star Earth Continent, especially in the Giant Elephant Dynasty, which had erected a statue of him, praised as the founding Martial God, receiving worship from numerous citizens!

The light vanished, and Ye Qiu found himself on a desolate planet.

Finally out, having traversed the Star Earth Continent, Ye Qiu felt as if he were in a dream.

"Is this Star River Path truly magical? Does everyone who treads it enter other worlds to strive for their fortune?" Ye Qiu speculated, but unfortunately, he couldn’t communicate with other travelers of this path.

The path of cultivation is, after all, lonely, a solitary journey.

"It’s good to be out of the Star Earth Continent; now I can start preparing for my breakthrough." Thinking of the breakthrough, Ye Qiu’s mood was incredibly excited, advancing to the Saint Realm on the Star River Path would definitely not affect his strength after becoming a Saint.

Also, in a place like this, seemingly a desolate corer of the universe, there’s no need to worry about ambushes.

However, Ye Qiu still felt he should investigate carefully. If he were to breakthrough here, he must ensure his safety and preferably not attract strong foes.

As Ye Qiu was resting on the ground, he suddenly looked up, only to see the air rippling, followed by the appearance of two figures.

"Tsk, tsk... we meet again."

Ye Qiu’s eyes flashed; he truly hadn’t expected Donghua Holy Son to suddenly show up.

"Surprised? I told you we would meet again on the Star River Path. To kill you, I’ve wasted considerable time just waiting for you here." Donghua Holy Son spoke calmly.

This Donghua Holy Son was indeed insidious; Ye Qiu thought he would continue onward after leaving the Star Earth Continent but didn’t expect him to lie in wait here for Ye Qiu to emerge.

Quickly, Ye Qiu’s gaze fell on the figure beside Donghua Holy Son.

It’s him!

Ye Qiu noticed the old man beside Donghua Holy Son was the Phantom Saint from the Sage Alliance, the one he had exposed earlier.

Seeing the two here, Ye Qiu instantly understood that Donghua Holy Son, together with the old man, had entered the Star Earth Continent, though the old man entered as a phantom and successfully infiltrated the Sage Alliance.

"Actually, there’s no need for us to fight to the death," Ye Qiu suddenly said. As for Donghua Holy Son, Ye Qiu wasn’t afraid, but the old man beside him—this time wasn’t a phantom but the real presence, which gave Ye Qiu a quite terrifying feeling.

Very possibly, this was a being at the Supreme Saint level.

Ye Qiu genuinely wanted to curse. Donghua Holy Son entering the Star River Path to cultivate was one thing, but bringing a Supreme Saint level expert to protect him was too much, akin to outright cheating.

"You took away the fortune that should have belonged to me. Because of you, I lost a great deal of fortune. Do you think I would let you go?"

"Moreover, from what I saw earlier, you evaded a Saint’s probe; surely you possess some hidden treasure, tsk tsk... Either way, there’s no way I could let you go." Donghua Holy Son said with a grin.

He was fully confident in taking down Ye Qiu now; perhaps Ye Qiu could have held him off back on the Star Earth Continent, but now, with a Supreme Saint expert beside him, this place, without the ability for Ye Qiu to set formations, made it impossible to utilize hidden treasures before such formidable presence.

Considering all, Donghua Holy Son felt everything on Ye Qiu’s body was within his grasp.

"I advise you not to think about hiding within your treasures, because before you could, you’d certainly be dead. If I were you, I’d surrender on my knees; maybe then you’d survive, don’t you think?"

Staring at Ye Qiu, Donghua Holy Son laughed aloud.

A mere ant dared to plot against him, stealing his fortune. Today, he would seize it back and let the other understand the dire consequences of crossing Donghua Holy Son.

"Sorry, I don’t have a habit of kneeling. It’s usually others kneeling to me!"

Ye Qiu responded blandly, indicating his stance—pleading was not an option.

"Hehe... hope you’re still this tough shortly." Donghua Holy Son smirked coldly, glancing at the old man beside him.

The old man, like an eagle, with piercing eyes, began to act swiftly.

He would prevent Ye Qiu from hiding within his treasure by attacking quickly and agilely.

Ye Qiu had no intention of hiding within his Too Sovereign Bell; facing a Supreme Saint charging at him, fighting with raw strength wasn’t viable.

Previously, battling against the Jiu Jue Saint had taught Ye Qiu the terror of Supreme Saints; even turning dark wouldn’t bridge the gap.

Supreme Saints and ordinary Saints fundamentally differed.

Originally intending to find a more desolate spot to break through, it seemed he didn’t have that luxury now; advancing to the Saint Realm was his only escape from this predicament.

"Heavenly Tribulation, come forth!"

Facing the old man, Ye Qiu let out a long howl into the sky, no longer suppressing the urge to breakthrough. Immediately, his aura expanded, marking his advance to the Saint Realm.

Swish!

Boom!

A loud explosion echoed throughout the cosmos. As the old man sensed the change in Ye Qiu’s aura, he suddenly paused, his gaze swept across the void, where lightning flashed.

"Saint Realm Heavenly Tribulation!" The old man’s eyes betrayed a hint of surprise.

Not far away, Donghua Holy Son witnessed this and furrowed his brows: "Seeking to use the power of the Heavenly Tribulation to prevent being killed?"

"Foolish, even if you weather the Heavenly Tribulation, you’d still be no match for a Supreme Saint at your weakest state."

The old man abruptly halted; if he dared to act, he’d be interfering with the Heavenly Tribulation, and despite being a Top-tier Saint, he wouldn’t dare to do so. Otherwise, the Heavenly Tribulation would descend upon him.

Anyone daring to disturb the calamity crossing person is deemed to be intervening by the Heavenly Dao, which causes the intervening person to undergo the calamity as well.

With insufficient power, status, and understanding to endure, sudden calamity leads to but one result: death.

Even the Supreme Saints dare not overlook this rule.

Each planet has its Heavenly Dao; the universe has its own Heavenly Dao.

Anyone bold enough to advance to the Saint Realm within the universe could either succeed with an infinite future or fail, perishing alongside their Tao.

Ye Qiu looked up, staring at the void, observing the countless lightning converging above—the day had finally arrived.
