The capital of the Great Gan Kingdom.
A terrifying lightning strike was brewing over the imperial city, and the terrifying divine power caused countless people to flee for their lives outside the city.
At this moment, in the vast palace, countless palace maids and eunuchs fled in terror towards the outside of the palace. No imperial guards stopped them, because the imperial guards were also fleeing, and they were fleeing much faster than the palace maids and eunuchs.
The concubines, princes, and princesses who lived in the palace hid in the underground palace beneath the palace. This underground palace was usually where the three holy ancestors of the royal family cultivated and secluded themselves, and it was used as a refuge for members of the royal family in times of danger.
This underground palace is the Sacred Dragon Palace, a national treasure of the Great Gan royal family. It is not only extremely sturdy, but also equipped with a Saint-level defensive array, capable of withstanding even a full-force attack from a fourth-level Saint.
It can be said that there is no safer place in the Great Gan Kingdom than the Holy Dragon Palace.
At this moment, the bright and magnificent Holy Dragon Palace, which resembled a celestial palace and was shrouded in golden radiance, was where most of the royal family members, including Gan Yang, Gan Jing, Gan Hong, and the Great Gan Kingdom's ruler, had gathered.
The Third Prince Gan Zhen and his lineage's Holy Ancestor Gan Jun were not present; they remained at the Yingyue Sect, intending to establish some connection with Chi Yuan.
"Sister, that calamity was terrifying, are we going to die...?"
A princess grabbed Gan Yang's arm and said, trembling.
"Don't worry, we'll be fine. The Holy Dragon Palace is the sacred artifact that protects our Great Gan Kingdom, and we also have two Holy Ancestors protecting us. This heavenly tribulation can't harm us."
Gan Yang said without any concern.
Gan Jing's brows were furrowed with worry, a sense of dread washing over him. This heavenly tribulation... he feared it wouldn't be so easy to withstand.
Not only him, but Gan Hong and another Great Gan Ancestor Gan Gu were also not optimistic, and even somewhat desperate, because this was a calamity of fortune brought about by the depletion of the Great Gan Kingdom's three-thousand-year imperial fortune.
In other words, the Great Gan Kingdom has run out of luck and its fate is sealed.
This means that the entire Daqian royal family could be wiped out today!
Now their only hope is that Heaven will show some mercy and at least leave some seed for the Great Gan royal family, so that the Great Gan kingdom will not perish in their hands.
Thinking of this, both of them looked at Gan Zhen's family. They exchanged a glance and waved their hands to send Gan Zhen's family to the very bottom of the Holy Dragon Palace, which was the most heavily guarded and safest place in the Holy Dragon Palace.
boom!
A heavenly tribulation descends.
After just one round of bombardment, the once magnificent and luxurious imperial palace was reduced to ashes, and the Holy Dragon Palace was also exposed to the heavenly tribulation.
Boom boom boom boom boom!
As soon as the Holy Dragon Palace appeared, the Heavenly Tribulation concentrated its firepower and bombarded it relentlessly. After several waves of bombardment, the Holy Dragon Palace was covered in cracks and almost exploded.
At this moment, the Holy Dragon Palace was in complete chaos, with cries and screams shaking the heavens. Gan Jing was ashen-faced, feeling that she could not escape this calamity. Even Gan Yang, who was initially full of confidence, was now terrified. She never expected that the heavenly tribulation would be so powerful. Would they all die here today?
"It's all my fault... I've ruined everyone's lives..."
Gan Yang was in great pain. If she hadn't been involved with Ye Chen's evil deeds, and if she hadn't been hostile to Chi Yuan, how could she have brought about such a terrible calamity?
She wished she could travel back in time and stab Ye Chen when he was completely off guard, thus settling all the karmic ties.
However, it's all too late now...
Boom—
At this moment, an enhanced version of the tribulation lightning struck down heavily, directly blasting through the top of the Holy Dragon Palace, revealing a huge hole, exposing everyone to the heavenly tribulation.
It’s over…
Gazing at the terrifying lightning bolts roaring and surging above, resembling an apocalyptic scene, all the members of the royal family lost all color in their faces.
"All cultivators above the Venerable rank, follow us to seal the breach!"
Gan Hong shouted and flashed to the bottom of the gap at the top, activating his magic weapon to defend.
Gan Gu followed closely behind, and all the others with Venerable-level cultivation came to their side. Many King-level, Emperor-level, Sect-level, and even Heavenly Spirit Masters also flew up to do their part.
Seeing everyone nearly die, tears blurred Gan Yang's vision. The remorse in her heart made her want to exchange her own life for everyone's safety.
The tribulation lightning struck again. The first wave of people barely managed to withstand it, but the violent shockwave still killed a number of people below the Venerable level on the spot, and several Venerables were also blown into blood mist.
Gan Hong and Gan Gu gritted their teeth and desperately activated their magical artifacts to strengthen their defenses. They no longer sought to survive, but only to hold out as long as possible and buy a chance for their descendants.
When the second wave of tribulation lightning struck, Gan Hong and Gan Gu coughed up blood and were seriously injured. More than ten Venerables also died on the spot.
The third wave of tribulation lightning descended, shattering Gan Hong's ancient magic treasures and bringing him to the brink of death. Almost all the Venerables perished, including the ruler of the Great Gan Kingdom.
Below, a number of royal family members also died, turning into a pool of thick blood, the suffocating stench of blood permeating the entire Holy Dragon Palace.
Gan Yang and Gan Jing are not dead yet, but the light in their eyes has already faded. They will not be able to escape this calamity; they will only die a little later than others.
"Gan Yang, do you regret it?"
Gan Jing sat in a pool of blood and spoke calmly.
Gan Yang looked at Gan Jing blankly, thought for a moment, and then nodded: "Regret."
"And you, my royal brother?"
"I have no regrets."
Gan Jingping said calmly, "The victor is king and the loser is villain. It has always been so. I only regret that I was too rash and did not make the right judgment."
"Fortunately, Gan Zhen made the right choice. Perhaps after this ordeal, he can lead Da Gan to go even further."
Gan Yang remained noncommittal, saying, "It's a pity we won't live to see that day."
As the two were talking, the fourth wave of tribulation lightning struck.
The already badly injured Gan Hong glanced back at Gan Jing and Gan Yang, left a sentence, and then faced the fourth wave of tribulation lightning with his physical body together with Gan Gu.
"If I survive, I will help Gan Zhen become emperor."
puff!
puff!
Two bursts of blood bloomed like fireworks. Gan Hong and Gan Gu ultimately died under the tribulation lightning, but they managed to block the fourth wave of tribulation lightning.
However, the heavenly tribulation was not over yet, as if it would not stop until the royal family was wiped out, and a new wave of tribulation lightning was brewing again.
Gan Yang and Gan Jing were numb, staring at the tribulation lightning about to strike, without sorrow, joy, resentment, or anger, preparing to face their deaths.
Crackling sound—
The lightning struck, its blinding light forcing the two to close their eyes.
it's all over.
Huff!
However, just as the tribulation lightning was about to strike and kill the two and the few remaining survivors in the hall, a cloud of black mist enveloped the Holy Dragon Hall, blocking all the tribulation lightning.
A figure clad in a black robe emerged from the black mist. He raised his head, revealing a cold and stern face that Gan Yang recognized.
"I need the two of you to help me destroy the Moon Reflection Sect."
