Zhao Hao's primordial spirit was damaged, and he felt a sharp pain in his head, making it impossible for him to dodge for a short period of time.
Countless sword energies poured down, and Zhao Hao struggled to erect a golden light shield for defense.
However, he was first seriously injured, and then his primordial spirit was injured by the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife, leaving him weaker than ever before.
The golden light shield was far less defensive than usual, and it quickly shattered under the onslaught of countless sword energies.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Hao's body flashed with light, which was his protective magic treasure taking effect, resisting and dissolving various sword energies.
But there were just too many sword energies, and the protective magic items on his body began to crumble one by one.
In the end, Zhao Hao's body was pierced by the sword energy. With the first wisp of sword energy, there was a second, a third...
When the sword energy finally dissipated, Zhao Hao was covered in blood, and his fate was unknown.
Zuan, however, was not careless at all. How could Zhao Hao be killed so easily? The fact that he was still floating in the air was proof of that.
I have to say, this guy is clearly the strongest in the world, yet he has so many protective magic treasures on him. He's probably terrified of dying.
The only saving grace was that all his protective magical artifacts had been completely exhausted after that round of intense sword energy.
Just then, a low, suppressed laugh rang out, which quickly grew louder and louder.
Zhao Hao slowly raised his head. His hair had been scattered in front of him by the sword energy, and there were several lines of blood on his face. He no longer looked like the aloof emperor he usually was, but rather like a madman.
“It’s been many years. Since I achieved mastery of my cultivation, no one has been able to injure me like this.” Zhao Hao seemed to be talking to himself. “Even before at Purple Mountain, and just now in the life-or-death battle with the High Priest, I was not this disheveled. You really have a lot to be proud of.”
Zuan didn't answer. Instead, he frowned. The other party's momentum had just hit rock bottom, but now it was showing signs of rising, and at an increasingly rapid pace. What was going on?
Zhao Hao slowly rose up, his eyes no longer showing the anger he had just displayed, but gradually returning to calm as he stared at Zu An: "I don't know what method you used just now. Indeed, many laws and skills were affecting me, and I felt life-or-death crises several times, but now, all of that is over."
The sky, which had been clear and blue, suddenly became covered with dark clouds, and lightning could even be seen flashing in the distance, all of which was directly above Zhao Hao.
Zuan looked puzzled. How could the world have suddenly changed so drastically, and it seemed to have a great deal to do with Zhao Hao?
Just then, two figures, one in white and one in red, arrived from afar; they were none other than Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue.
Although Zuan and Zhao Hao were too fast, the two quickly lost track of them.
But the terrifying fighting energy emanating from here from time to time served as the best guide, and the two women found their way here just in time to witness this scene.
"Be careful, he's preparing to undergo tribulation and break through!"
The two women exclaimed in unison, reminding him. Zu An's heart sank. Although he had read about things like tribulations in novels before, after transmigrating to this world, which was a world of cultivation, he had never heard of anyone needing to undergo tribulations, so he didn't react for a moment.
As sect leaders, Yun Jianyue and Yan Xuehen naturally had a better understanding of the theories and methods of cultivation. Countless predecessors had explored the path forward, and they had also conducted extensive theoretical research on the ancient and legendary tribulation crossing, which is why they were able to recognize it at first glance.
Zhao Hao laughed heartily: "As expected of Abbot Yan and Sect Leader Yun, not bad, I'm about to break through the tribulation."
"Speaking of which, I must thank the High Priest for bringing me to this world. The spiritual energy here is much more abundant than in our world. In addition, I felt the power of the Immortal Lord Baopu before, and after the arduous battles along the way, my long-dormant realm has shown signs of breaking through."
"I originally planned to recover from my injuries before making a breakthrough, but I never expected to be forced to this extent by you guys."
Zhao Hao's voice carried a hint of smugness, as if he were looking at everyone as clowns, saying that he was just playing along with them before, but now he was getting serious.
Yun Jianyue and Yan Xuehen flew to Zu An's side, their eyes filled with worry: "Damn it, if he successfully breaks through, even if he is weak, he will be beyond our ability to deal with."
They had previously witnessed how Baopu Immortal Lord suppressed the Ghost King with a single glance; that power was beyond their imagination, leaving them with absolutely no chance.
Gazing at the lightning flashing overhead, Zu An said in a deep voice, "I've heard that undergoing tribulation is a very dangerous thing. In his current state, could he fail the tribulation and die?"
The two women shook their heads: "That applies to cultivators whose cultivation level is unstable. But he has been stuck at the peak of the Earth Immortal realm for so many years. He should have broken through long ago. It's just that the origin of our world was not strong enough, which kept him there. Now that he has come to this world, with its vast天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) and various other stimuli, it should be a natural thing for him to break through."
Having experienced the Xia Dynasty Secret Realm with Zuan before, and now having experienced this Secret Realm again, the two understood why no one in their world had ever become an immortal for so many years.
Zuan immediately understood that Zhao Hao had been accumulating strength for a long time, and it was highly likely that he would successfully overcome the tribulation this time.
“The process of undergoing tribulation should be an extremely dangerous thing. If we attack him at the critical moment of his tribulation, wouldn’t that increase the probability of his failure?” Zuan asked again.
"Absolutely not!" Yan Xuehen hurriedly warned, "Once the tribulation begins, it will indiscriminately attack anything within a certain range around the person undergoing the tribulation. Moreover, the more people there are, the greater the power of the tribulation. Zhao Hao is an Earth Immortal, and both his physical body and primordial spirit are extremely powerful. He can barely cope with those tribulations, but if we enter the tribulation field, we will be annihilated in an instant."
