Chapter 2079 - 2080: Saint

Bang!

In the void, the sound of a large drum echoed, as if the heavens and earth were struck.

Suddenly, a dazzling heavenly tribulation descended from above, illuminating this realm.

"A weapon-shaped heavenly tribulation!" The old man and Donghua Holy Son instantly recoiled, distancing themselves to avoid being harmed by the tribulation. To their astonishment, the very first tribulation was weapon-shaped; what could the subsequent tribulations be like!

One was a top-tier holy son of a major sect, the other a supreme saint; both had considerable understanding of saintly tribulations. However, such as the tribulation Ye Qiu faced, where the first manifestation was weapon-shaped, they had rarely seen.

At least Donghua Holy Son had never seen it.

"Transforming in the first tribulation, does this person’s talent truly fearsome? Does he intend to leap to become a supreme saint?" The old man beside Donghua Holy Son revealed an expression of disbelief.

As a supreme saint himself, he knew a fair amount about tribulations. Back when he transitioned from an ordinary saint to a supreme saint, he experienced terrifying tribulations.

But Ye Qiu before him was different; Ye Qiu was stepping directly from the return void realm to the supreme saint level, encountering the supreme saint tribulation.

The old man’s supreme saint power seemed akin to a late starter, while Ye Qiu was different, almost as if practicing since youth, creating a certain distinction.

"Could it be that he chose to comprehend eight rules back then?" Donghua Holy Son frowned. To instantly advance to supreme saint required comprehension of at least six rules; Ye Qiu’s triggering of a weapon-shaped tribulation suggests he mastered substantial rule power, making the current tribulation exceedingly formidable.

Very quickly, a cold sneer replaced the expression on Donghua Holy Son’s face. It’s not uncommon for people to attempt what Ye Qiu is doing, but historically, few succeed in weathering the supreme saint tribulations, even supreme saints like Jiu Jue Saints transitioned from ordinary saints and achieved that only later.

For those looking to ascend directly from return void realm to supreme saint, the difficulty is immense, almost one in ten thousand.

Historically, among those who attempted as Ye Qiu did, 99.9% perished within the tribulation.

Because the supreme saint’s tribulation is terrifying, far beyond ordinary saint tribulations!

Simply transitioning from the return void realm to saint realm is challenging enough, let alone directly advancing to supreme saint.

Among the martial artists of the ancestral land, saints are few, numbering only in the tens of thousands, even considering the four wilds encompassing humans and ancient beast elites. The baseline is great, but saint numbers remain low. Among these tens of thousands, supreme saints number even fewer, only in the thousands, typically those who transitioned from ordinary saints.

Those who dared to directly boost their strength to supreme saint successfully are as rare as the number of cosmic-level mighty beings, highlighting the high difficulty!

This is why martial artists in the ancestral land choose to first become ordinary saints, then gradually advance to supreme saint, as it is more prudent.

Ye Qiu’s straightforward and brutal triggering of the supreme saint tribulation is exceedingly challenging, and neither Donghua Holy Son nor the supreme saint elder beside him believed Ye Qiu could succeed.

They weren’t in a hurry to confront Ye Qiu because he was likely to perish in this tribulation.

Ye Qiu’s location was a desolate, small planet, like dust in the grand cosmos. This time, the tribulation was unlike any other; the heavenly tribulation didn’t require clouds to form, emerging directly from the void spontaneously.

Multiple tribulations gathered, forming a black sphere, dark as a black hole devouring all.

The first weapon-shaped tribulation flew out from this dark sphere.

Currently, he needn’t worry about Donghua Holy Son attacking. He believed his opponent wouldn’t dare interfere with his tribulation process, or risk facing the tribulation alongside him. They were likely already far away.

He glanced at the two, just as anticipated, Donghua Holy Son and the old man had indeed retreated to the distant void, fearful of being affected by the tribulation.

Their stance showed that if Ye Qiu dared to lead the tribulation towards them, they would immediately depart.

Attempting to use the tribulation to kill them seemed not yet feasible.

Soon enough, Ye Qiu cast aside all other thoughts, focusing solely on overcoming the tribulation.

Ye Qiu took a deep breath, concentrating fully facing the first tribulation head-on.

Kill!

In the face of the tribulation, Ye Qiu chose not to sit idle; he always favored engaging with tribulations, as with previous encounters.

Donghua Holy Son in the distant void observed this scene, snorted coldly: "Foolish, one should conserve energy while crossing tribulations. With such a method, even if not killed by the tribulation, exhaustion could prove fatal. It’s indeed the way of the loose cultivator, unaware of tribulation tactics."

Boom!

The first tribulation from beyond fell, a trident thrusting like a flying arrow, aiming to pin Ye Qiu to the ground.

"Break!"

Ye Qiu swung his fist, confronting the first tribulation, clashing with the trident.

Silver-white currents flowed along the trident, coursing through Ye Qiu’s fist, permeating his entire body, eroding his vitality.

Ye Qiu activated his dantian fully, unleashing a powerful force from the dantian, converging on his fist, instantly shattering the trident.

Crack, crack...

The trident shattered like a mirror into fragments. It wasn’t a real object but rather a manifestation of heavenly dao’s rule energy, forming one tribulation. But as it was merely the first tribulation, it wasn’t particularly strong.

If it was a genuine trident, the one shattering wouldn’t be it but Ye Qiu.

The trident was ultimately a mimicked item with limited power.

Neutralizing the first tribulation, Ye Qiu showed no sign of joy. Having faced many tribulations, martial artists know well that succeeding ones are scarier; initial tribulations are mere appetizers.

If the initial tribulation proves too formidable to withstand or resist, there’s little point in facing subsequent tribulations, inciting despair.

Watching Ye Qiu’s audacious breakthrough of the first tribulation, Donghua Holy Son remained indifferent, still sporting a spectator’s demeanor.

He was waiting for Ye Qiu to be severely injured by the following tribulations.

Ye Qiu tightened his fist, gazing at the sky. The first tribulation had expended one layer of his strength, leaving nine. Uncertain how long he could endure!

His eyes half-closed, the drum sound echoed again, heralding the arrival of the second tribulation!

From the black sphere, a silhouette leapt forth, resembling a living entity, revealing its shape upon descent!

A beast-like creature tribulation resembling a dog!
