"The Heavenly Tribulation has begun!"

When the God of Slaughter descended, the silence of space and time was shattered, and the divine mark on Jiang Yuan's brow revealed the most fundamental changes in the universe.

Such a change is intolerable to the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Tribulation will destroy all the cosmic insights of those who defy the Dao within the battlefield.

Snap

A massive bolt of lightning struck, but this was only the prelude.

Nine layers of dark clouds rolled up in the sky, each layer more gloomy than the last.

"Destroy the Nine Heavens!"

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden watched the Heavenly Tribulation with great interest. This kind of tribulation was prepared for the Trinity of Gods, but Jiang Yuan's divine position was still uncertain.

Most importantly, he had not reached the level beyond the ninth stage of the Nascent Soul Realm; he was still a mortal.

No matter how extraordinary a mortal may be, he is still a mortal and cannot compare to a god.

"Mysterious Maiden, you're showing your emotions; this is a bad omen!"

Zhong Litong reminded the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden from behind that the appearance of emotions in a person means that they are not far from the seven emotions and six desires, which is not a good thing for a companion god who specializes in transcending the divine path.

"No, I have no emotions, I just want him dead!"

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden still refused to admit it, even though she was constantly experiencing emotional fluctuations because of Jiang Yuan.

"His death might be a good thing!"

Zhong Litong looked at the overcast sky and murmured in a voice only she could hear, "But will he really die?"

Her resolve was not without wavering. A person who sacrificed the source, a person cursed by the god of death, a person who was at odds with thousands of races—this was a person who could not possibly survive, yet she repeatedly shattered everyone's perceptions.

Not only did he not die, but he also repeatedly broke historical records.

"To lend a hand, the Nine Tribulations of the Heavenly Dao!"

The bishops of the Heavenly Mirror Temple, who had been waiting for a long time, formed a grand formation. Jiang Yuan had repeatedly challenged the authority of the Heavenly Dao, and if they did not kill him soon, the Heavenly Mirror Temple would lose all face.

"ha!"

"Hahaha!"

His arrogant and unrestrained laughter echoed through the heavens, but Jiang Yuan remained unmoved as he sat on his divine throne.

What is a calamity?

Heaven was afraid!

Jiang Yuan smiled happily, because this proved that he had been on the right path.

He has begun to disrupt the order of the battlefield; this is just the beginning!

"Come on, shatter my Eight Gates!"

The figure on the divine throne opened his arms to welcome the heavenly tribulation, while the eight gates on the land of Kyushu stood firm, representing the spirit of Kyushu.

In this battlefield where all beings are like ants, if someone can provide them with shelter, then they are willing to stand under that shelter and offer their purest beliefs.

Jiang Yuan never asked the human race for their faith; he simply stood at the forefront of the times, silently dedicating his strength to his race.

This belief is purer than the hypocritical charity and preaching of deities.

In return for the favor, the belief developed by the human race has led to a transformation in Jiang Yuan's Eight Gates.

The eight gates became pure, remaining unmoved even under the cataclysmic heavenly tribulation.

Standing on the clouds, Jiang Yuan looked at the land of Kyushu and fell into a state of enlightenment, as if he had returned to the era of Pangu.

The original eight gates, the final eight gates, and the eight gates that are still growing.

Pangu's physical body transformed into the world, which is also the Eight Gates that nourish the world.

The physical universe he cultivated eventually transformed into a universe that protected the people behind him.

And what about his physical universe? Is it rooted in the world beneath his feet?

Pure power of faith continuously flowed into the eight gates, and the Heavenly Tribulation was reduced by five out of nine, but it could not harm Jiang Yuan in the slightest.

The people of China bore the brunt of everything for him!

"Enough!"

Jiang Yuan's eyes began to lose their bloodlust. He withdrew from his extreme killing god state and unilaterally severed the connection between the land of Kyushu and the people of China and himself.

How can his suffering be borne by other beings?

"Besides, what wrong have I done!"

Jiang Yuan stood up from the divine throne, his Holy Demon Wings spreading out to blot out the sky.

"Since you're afraid, then feel my wrath!"

Arm yourself!

The golden Godslayer Bow transformed into a pair of finger guards, the Nine Provinces Armor exuded an aura of justice, and Jiang Yuan, wielding the Gentleman's Sword, soared into the sky.

He ignited the corrupting flames of slaughter, but what he displayed was the aura of a king.

The powerful will made the half-dead present feel ashamed, which meant that the individual's will had surpassed the divine fire attribute.

"If this child is not eliminated, humanity will reign supreme!"

This was the common sentiment of the three thousand powerful races. Jiang Yuan was too terrifying, so terrifying that even demigods paled in comparison.

"Sword Drawing Stance!"

The sixth heavenly tribulation descended, but Jiang Yuan, who had soared into the sky from his divine throne, drew his sword in response.

With a single sword strike, battle intent cleaved through the galaxy. With a single sword strike, Ragnarok was split open.

The sixth heavenly tribulation was shattered by the unparalleled sword light!

The will of the gods is awakening!

No, to be more precise, the will to defy the natural order is awakening and is resisting the will of Heaven.

"Eight Gates, Transform into Dragon."

The World Pulse arched up as if acknowledging the eternal battle spirit, and the Eight Gates transformed into dragons and soared above the World Pulse. Jiang Yuan charged straight toward the final three tribulations.
