Just as Su Rui triggered the prince's heavenly tribulation and looked at the demon corpse of Xuanyin Sect Leader, Bai Gu Zhenjun, Five Ghost Heavenly Kings and others who were about to escape from Shenjing City, feeling regretful for not being able to pull them into the ranks of tribulation, he suddenly heard the emperor's voice casting a spell with a hint of madness.
"All under heaven belongs to the king. The kingdom of God is sealed!" As his voice fell, the walls surrounding Shenjing City suddenly rose infinitely, connecting heaven and earth, transforming Shenjing City into a giant cage. The emperor used his divine power to transform the entire Shenjing City into his kingdom of God, sealing it.
The Emperor, already afflicted by Prince Ning's calamity, was now rife with calamity, clouds billowing overhead. He sat firmly in the center of the palace, a hint of madness etched across his divine face beneath the jeweled crown.
"Sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it alone. Now that you are here, why not join me in overcoming this calamity together?"
"Mad men! You lunatics!!"
The calamity clouds in the sky became thicker and thicker, and the calamity thunder continued to roar, as if to tear the void apart.
The Xuanyin Sect Leader, Demon Corpse, White Bone Master, the Five Ghost Heavenly Kings, and the others were horrified. Because of the Emperor's actions, they were all trapped within the city of Shenjing, unable to escape. They attempted to use earth escape techniques to escape through the towering city walls, but surprisingly, their earth escape techniques were unable to penetrate even the plaster of the walls.
Just as they were panicking, Su Rui, carrying a heavenly tribulation, swooped down like a bird of prey, sending fear cascading down their faces as they fled in panic. However, they hadn't anticipated that Prince Ning, also controlling the demon form of the Yama Emperor, would soar past with overwhelming divine might, attacking Su Rui from both sides and completely cutting off their retreat.
A wave of despair welled up within True Lord Bai Gu. This operation was drastically different from his previous clones'. Even if his clones had been killed or sealed, at most they would have lost some of their spirits and precious materials. But this time, to siege the Emperor and seize the fate of humanity, he had personally taken action, bringing forth his true form, which had been hidden in the Imperial Mausoleum for years. If he were to trigger a thunderstorm and perish, he would face a true crisis of life and death!
But obviously, Prince Ning, who had become Su Rui's "accomplice", had fallen into a state of madness. He completely ignored the pleading of Lord Bai Gu and launched a fierce attack on him together with Su Rui.
Under the terrifying pressure of the heavenly tribulation, Lord Bai Gu was ultimately unable to escape his fate and was forced to trigger his own heavenly tribulation.
As the saying goes, "We share happiness and hardships together!" With the full assistance of King Ning, Su Rui quickly and successfully induced the heavenly tribulations of all the masters in the Tribulation Period in Shenjing City.
At this time, the people in Shenjing City had already been frightened by the layers of thunderclouds in the sky, which seemed like the coming of doomsday. They all hid in their houses, and those who had cellars hurriedly hid in the cellars.
These innocent people suffered this unprovoked disaster, but fortunately, because the emperor had transformed the entire city of Shenjing into a divine kingdom, as long as the emperor survived and the kingdom did not collapse, they would be protected by divine light. In addition, some of them believed in the small and large sandalwood Buddhas of Suri, and thus received additional protection from the Buddha's light.
On a high peak three miles outside Shenjing City, several tribulation-crossing masters from the righteous path were gazing at Shenjing City below.
At this moment, the Divine Capital City was like a world torn apart, with a calamity raging within it, as if the sky was about to collapse and the aura of destruction was overwhelming. This scene filled one with fear and dread.
These individuals were all elders or masters from various sects. Their purpose in coming was to prevent the evil cult from controlling the government of Western Tang and disrupting the destiny of the human world. They chose to assemble outside the city because they planned to wait for the evil masters to fight the God King to a mutual defeat, and then reap the benefits themselves.
However, they had never anticipated the turmoil between the Divine King and the evil path would be so terrifying, triggering such a horrific catastrophe. They stared in amazement as the sky above Divine Capital City erupted incessantly with rumbling noises, as if a gigantic copper furnace for frying beans was constantly imploding, each explosion shaking the entire city.
Everyone couldn't help but feel fortunate that they had chosen the current strategy. If they had entered the city earlier, they would probably have become victims of this great catastrophe.
"Where are the elders of Qingcheng Sect? Still can't contact them?" At this time, an elder of Kunlun Sect suddenly frowned and asked.
The Emei Sect elder beside him shook his head: "We have tried our best to contact them, but still haven't received any response."
"But don't worry. The strength of the Qingcheng Sect is unquestionable. They will definitely come." The elder of the Emei Sect continued, "The elder sent by the Qingcheng Sect this time is named Su Qinghe, a newly promoted young elder. He may have been delayed for a while on the way. However, the people of the Qingcheng Sect always honor their promises. Since they promised to come, they will never break their promise."
The thunderstorm in Shenjing City had lasted for seven days and seven nights without a break. Although the righteous masters outside the city were extremely anxious, they could only wait patiently.
At this time, Su Rui was trapped in the heavenly tribulation and struggling. He originally thought that he was fully prepared and could successfully survive the heavenly tribulation, but he did not expect that Prince Ning, the Crown Prince, the True Lord of Bones, the Xuanyin Sect Leader, the Five Ghost Heavenly Kings, the Emperor, the Naked Sect Leader and others would actually besiege him after he triggered the heavenly tribulation for everyone else.
These people were all top-tier masters of both the Demonic and Buddhist sects, and their strength was extremely formidable. Prince Ning and the Crown Prince in particular had both reached the late stages of the Tribulation Realm, and with the cooperation of several others, Su Rui was in an extremely dangerous situation.
"Damn you, you scumbags!"
Su Rui cursed inwardly. If it weren't for the heavenly calamity above his head that prevented these people from attacking him with all their might, he would have died long ago.
To survive, Su Rui, expending his inner spiritual energy, triggered seven successive tribulations. This near-madness struck fear into the hearts of those who pursued him. They had never seen anyone trigger tribulations at such an astonishing rate, and each one was more powerful than the last. Now, Su Rui had successfully endured until the end of the eighth tribulation, with only one more remaining before he could condense his immortal energy and ascend to the immortal realm.
However, Su Rui's condition was far from optimistic. His large and small sandalwood Buddha lights had been shattered, and the sandalwood Buddha within his Niwan Palace was reduced to a faint shadow, seemingly poised to dissipate at any moment. His Tongbei Divine Ape body was in a horrific state, battered to smithereens, leaving not a single piece of intact skin. While his young Taoist body remained relatively intact, it had come at a heavy price—all his hair had been singed away, his head had been reduced to a smooth, boiled egg, and even his entire magical power had been completely depleted.
Although the thunder had gradually become less frequent, the eighth heavenly tribulation had not yet completely ended. Occasionally, a thunder would fall, and Su Rui could only weakly raise the Black Mountain Divine Seal to resist it.
Fortunately, he finally gritted his teeth and endured the eighth heavenly tribulation, and the eighth thunder mark appeared in his soul.
When the heavenly calamity completely disappeared, Su Rui fell naked in the ruins of the palace, which had turned into a deep pit, gasping for breath.
