Yi, on the other side, opened his mouth, his eyes filled with doubt and confusion, as if he wanted to say something, but unfortunately he could no longer speak and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

The drummer on the other side finally got up. Seeing this scene, he felt extremely relieved and spat out a mouthful of blood: "Pah, he had to ask for death, serves him right."

He then cupped his hands in thanks to the handsome man: "Thank you for your help, Your Majesty. If it weren't for Your Majesty's arrival, I'm afraid I would have been beaten to death by this brute."

The handsome man stared at him coldly: "You've disappointed me greatly."

Gu chuckled awkwardly, feeling genuinely embarrassed that he, a dignified god, had been beaten so badly by a sorcerer that he was pinned to the ground and utterly powerless to fight back.

"You didn't tell anyone about this, did you?" the handsome man asked calmly.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, this matter is of utmost importance. How could I possibly tell anyone else? I haven't even told my subordinate Qin," Gu Li patted his chest and assured him.

"That's good." The handsome man nodded slightly, then slowly raised his finger.

Seeing the other person's eyes and actions, Gu suddenly felt a chill run down his spine: "Your Majesty, you won't kill me, will you? Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will never tell anyone."

The handsome man said coldly, "Only the dead can keep secrets, but don't worry, I won't kill you. You'll be of great use later."

As he spoke, his finger gently touched the center of his forehead, and a ray of golden light bloomed. His expression became blank, and he quickly fainted.

The handsome man didn't look at him again, but casually waved his hand, and a golden flame enveloped Qian Yi's corpse, quickly burning his body to ashes.

"That should keep everyone in the dark. All that's left is to deal with that side." The handsome man muttered to himself, then looked towards the massive thunderbolt in the distance.

...

Meanwhile, on the other side, when Zu'an saw the orange lightning whip lashing out, the phantom of a serene Buddhist bell appeared around him.

The lightning whip struck it, and the phantom of the bell held for a little over a second before shattering.

Zuan couldn't help but mutter to himself, "It's really a bankrupt version of the Pure Bell. It seems like it has never been able to successfully block the opponent's attack."

However, it does have one advantage: it can significantly weaken the enemy's attacks.

After the illusory image of the Pure Bell was shattered, the orange lightning whip dimmed considerably, clearly indicating that its power had been greatly weakened.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zuan activated the Flame Blade with the White Lotus Sacred Flame, and a huge flame blade aura directly slashed at the lightning whip, completely severing it.

The massive lightning whip also dissipated into stray bolts of electricity, and Zaun once again felt his body undergo a new tempering.

The tribulation clouds in the sky churned wildly, and streaks of golden light gradually pierced through, turning the originally dark sky yellow.

Sensing the increasingly powerful pressure from the tribulation clouds, Zu An dared not be careless in the slightest and hurriedly circulated the Primordial Chaos Scripture to repair the injuries on his body.

Although he had not prepared any pills for the tribulation in advance, the powerful restorative ability of the Primordial Chaos Scripture was, in some ways, even more useful than some pills.

The Mermaid Queen tried to go over, but was stopped by Mikado Baiharu: "What are you doing?"

"I want to go and give him some pills, and see if I can offer him some blessings or something to help him get through the tribulation." The Mermaid Queen looked anxious.

“You must not go over there. If you go to his side, you will not only fail to help him, but you will also harm him,” Mikado Hyoharu said solemnly. “If you are also within the range of the Heavenly Tribulation, you will increase the intensity of the Heavenly Tribulation, and he will not be able to withstand it.”

The Mermaid Queen was startled and dared not go any further: "Luckily, the Holy Maiden was there, otherwise we would have been finished."

At the same time, she was very curious as to why the other party knew so much about heavenly tribulations. Just as she was about to ask, a golden light suddenly rose up beside her, and it seemed that a figure walked out of the golden light, gently extending a finger as if to crush her as if she were an ant on the ground.

She tried to defend herself, activating some forbidden techniques of the merfolk, but unfortunately, she couldn't move her body at all. It was as if time and space around her had stopped, and even her thoughts had ceased.

Mikado Baiqing's expression changed drastically. He instinctively stepped in front of her, his body also radiating a dazzling light, and he swung his hand to attack her.

As their hands and fingers met, Mikado Baiqing was sent flying back dozens of feet, while the golden figure only swayed slightly.

"Huh?" The handsome man didn't continue his attack, but instead looked at Mikado Baiqing with suspicion. "So it's you. What are you doing here?"

Mikado Baiqing's face was gloomy. He did not answer, but instead looked worriedly at Zuan in the distance and the mermaid queen beside him.

The handsome man said calmly, "Don't worry, they can't see what's happening here."

Mikado Baiharu did not answer, but stared intently at the man in front of him.

The handsome man smiled slightly: "Why are you staring at me like that? Have you missed me because it's been so long, my lady, the sun goddess Xihe? But why are you in the body of this human woman?"

Across from him, Mikado Baiharu's expression was icy, showing no joy at the reunion, but rather an inexplicable coldness: "Don't call me that, it's disgusting! Why are you here?"

The handsome man smiled slightly: "I noticed some strange phenomena in the sky here, and it seems that the legendary Seven-Colored Divine Tribulation has appeared. I came here out of curiosity."

"Do you think I'd believe that?" Mikado Baiqing sneered. "You, the mighty Heavenly Emperor, would descend to the mortal realm for something so trivial? I suppose it's because of the drum on the other side."

The handsome man's expression turned cold: "What I want to do doesn't seem to require any explanation to you."

Mikado Hyo chuckled lightly, her tone quite mocking: "Of course, everyone knows that Di Jun has lovers all over the world, so who can control you?"

"Are you jealous?" The handsome man asked with a playful expression, then clicked his tongue in approval. "This human woman has a nice body, and the merman next to her is a stunning beauty. You didn't find her here specifically for me, did you?"

"Your narcissistic tone is still disgusting," Mikado Baiharu said, his eyes filled with coldness. "You're allowed to play with women, but I'm not allowed to play with men? I'm not afraid to tell you, this woman and I are both lovers of that man over there."

“That man…” The handsome man frowned, his gaze falling on Zu An, who was undergoing tribulation in the distance. “So it was him who triggered the legendary Seven-Colored Divine Tribulation. His potential is not bad, but his strength is slightly lacking…”

As he was speaking, he happened to see a certain spot, and his smile froze.

He quickly averted his gaze and said irritably, "Xihe, I know you're unhappy with my womanizing ways over the years and are just saying this to annoy me. How could you possibly like such a brute? What exactly are you plotting?"
