Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 733: The Emperors Block the Tribulation

Massive bolts of purple lightning descended from the sky, carrying world-destroying power as they shot toward the Celestial Fox Sacred Mountain.

The Celestial Fox Sacred Mountain sat at the center of the Ancestral Court, gathering its fortune, a fact known to all the Emperors. So, despite their anger and astonishment at the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor, they had no choice but to intervene.

Waves of immense blood energy surged as the Emperors fully unleashed their auras.

A massive red flower suddenly bloomed, covering an area of a thousand zhang in radius. A scorching pillar of light shot into the sky, directly devouring a third of the descending lightning.

In his fury, the Sunborne Nymph Emperor unleashed the terrifying aura of the most powerful Nymph Emperor; pure Yang energy surged upward, directly shattering the lightning.

At the same time, surrounding the Sunborne Flower, hundreds of smaller blue flowers bloomed, each about one percent of its size. Their cold aura spread outward, freezing nearly a third of the remaining lightning.

The combined efforts of the Sunborne and Earthshade Nymph Emperors neutralized two-thirds of the lightning's power. The remaining lightning was easily swept away by the other Emperors.

With a resounding cry, a golden-red fire phoenix soared into the sky, expanding rapidly until its wingspan exceeded five hundred meters. It charged directly into the tribulation clouds, and in an instant, it burned the clouds into the same golden-red color, causing them to melt and dissipate. Together with the two Nymph Emperors, it dispersed the tribulation clouds once more.

"This lightning tribulation harms life essence. How vile!" the Sunborne Nymph Emperor roared in anger. The pure yang energy surged, forming a massive pillar of light that enveloped the Undying Demon Emperor. The combined efforts of the two Emperors slightly reduced the destructive power of the tribulation that was assaulting the others.

If Tang San could witness this scene, he would surely marvel at their strength. These Emperors, especially the highest-ranked ones, were undeniably powerful. Each of them was an incredibly formidable being.

However, if the Nine Heavens Ten Earths Divine Extinguishing Tribulation were so easily blocked, Tang San wouldn't have been so troubled and wouldn't have had to choose the Hell Garden as the site for his tribulation.

This was a huge risk, one that involved opposing all the Emperors of the Ancestral Court. But it was the only way to have a chance at success.

After his first visit to the Ancestral Court, Tang San had decided that this was where he would undergo his tribulation. The Ancestral Court was the center of fortune for the entire Falan Planet, a place blessed by luck for countless years, with an immense accumulation of fortune. Moreover, what place could be more suitable with so many Emperors protecting the Ancestral Court? With the proper utilization of these "resources," there was a chance to create a miracle.

White light reassembled at the peak of the Celestial Fox Sacred Mountain, and the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor's long hair fluttered without wind, forming a disk-like shape behind his head. His eyes had turned completely snow-white, and the nine-tailed fox shadow behind him had solidified as if it were real. All the Emperors could sense the fury within his emotions.

They had known the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor for quite some time, but it was the first time they had seen him in such a state of anger.

This was someone who always strategized with precision, winning a fight from half a world away. Clearly, the situation had spiraled out of control.

"Celestial Fox, what on earth is going on?" the Sunborne Nymph Emperor asked loudly.

The Celestial Fox Demon Emperor replied in a deep voice, "An unknown entity has invaded the core of destiny within my Celestial Fox Sacred Mountain and is undergoing a tribulation there. This entity has created a bloodline beyond the first tier, which is why such a terrifying lightning tribulation has descended. However, I don't know what method was used, but my core of destiny has been isolated from the outside world—it’s as if the space it’s located in has been separated. My divine consciousness cannot detect it, yet it remains connected to this plane, which is why the tribulation is occurring here."

"What? Your core of destiny can be invaded? Who could possibly do that?" The Sunborne Nymph Emperor was shocked.

The Celestial Fox Demon Emperor's expression darkened further, as if it could drip water, and he said bluntly, "Then you'll have to ask yourselves—who among you raised this one?" He absolutely refused to believe that such an existence could emerge without the support of an Emperor.

Upon hearing his question, the Emperors present were taken aback. But when they thought about it, it made sense. Without the backing of an Emperor, who could create such a commotion right under their noses in the Ancestral Court? But which one was it then?

Among the Emperors, at this moment, only the White Tiger Demon Emperor felt some measure of clarity.

So it really is that kid. He’s too damn reckless...

So the kid really was not lying, and the White Tiger Demon Emperor’s senses hadn’t led him into error. Tang San really was not a god, and his bloodline really was beyond the first tier, just as he had claimed.

Though he hadn’t expected Tang San to pull off something like this, now that he heard the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor’s accusations, there was no doubt in his mind. Of course, he would never admit this had anything to do with him.[1]

The Earthshade Nymph Emperor, shrouded in blue light, asked in a grave voice, "So what do we do now?"

The Celestial Fox Demon Emperor said, "We need to drag whoever is doing this out and destroy them. The tribulation will naturally dissipate. Otherwise, we'll just have to endure the tribulation—we're essentially bearing it for them right now. If we can't pull them out, then we'll need to control the range of the tribulation and force it to find and destroy them. A tribulation of this magnitude is the wrath of the plane; clearly, the plane does not allow them to exist. The tribulation itself can destroy them eventually. But if that happens, the Celestial Fox Sacred Mountain, and the fortune that my Celestial Fox Clan has gathered over the years for both demons and nymphs, will also be scattered by the tribulation. So the best solution is to drag that scoundrel out."

"How is he hiding within that space?" the Undying Demon Emperor asked.

The Celestial Fox Demon Emperor shook his head and said, "I don't know. At our level, we all have some understanding of space. But what they’ve done is very strange. We can clearly sense their presence, yet it's as if they are in another space and time, intangible and elusive. Even my divine consciousness can't capture it, and there's no way to pinpoint the actual location of that space."

"If only the Peacock Demon Emperor were still here..." sighed the White Tiger Demon Emperor.

The Peacock Demon Emperor was the master of space, the one with the deepest understanding of space in the history of the Ancestral Court. But now, the Peacock Demon Emperor had long passed, and the remaining Peacock Demon clan members...

At the White Tiger Demon Emperor's reminder, the other Demon Emperors suddenly remembered that there was indeed someone in the Ancestral Court's council who excelled in spatial abilities!

The Golden Mammoth Demon Emperor blurted out, "What about that little girl from the Peacock Demon clan?"

The Sky-Splitting Demon Emperor replied in a deep voice, "I don't think so. She's only a Demon King, maybe barely a Great Demon King right now. Even if she has spatial abilities, if Celestial Fox's divine consciousness can't find that person, how could she?"

The Golden Mammoth Demon Emperor said, "But she has the Celestial Plume, which belonged to the Peacock Demon Emperor. Maybe it's worth a try?"

The Celestial Fox Demon Emperor frowned deeply, feeling that something was off. But the Golden Mammoth Demon Emperor's words did make sense and he said instinctively, "If we can really find that scoundrel, the Celestial Plume might be our best bet. Though Mei Gongzi's cultivation is lacking, her understanding of space is profound. It might work if she could harness the power of the Peacock Demon Emperor's Celestial Pillar. But wait, she's still undergoing her trial at the Council Hall...."

Thinking of this, the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor's swirling hair suddenly fell, and he transformed into a beam of white light, heading toward the Ancestral Court Council Hall.

Boom—

The tribulation was upon them once again.
