Breaking Through Once More

Di Cheng, Du Ruan, and Wen Luori all leaves the restaurant with a satisfied expression. Di Cheng is a bit smug seeing the obvious amazement on their faces, while the two are still talking about the mysterious expert.

"Golden Bee Honey! I actually got to taste something so precious!"

"The meat of the Mountain Boar is so soft to my teeth. It's taste are so rich!"

He only shakes his head seeing the two raining praises to the chef of that pavilion.

"Right! We should tell this to our friends! It will be bad karma for us if we just hogged this to ourselves!" Wen Luori immediately suggested.

"Right... we are from the Righteous Sect. We shouldn't hide the existence of this shop to our peers!" Du Ruan added on the side.

Di Cheng also nodded at that. They are disciples of a righteous sect, and being Daoist Cultivators, they also believed in Karma. Having good karma is good as it will make their path to immortality slightly easier, unlike having a bad karma which will actually make the heavens despise you.

With that decision, the three quickly left the city. Going back to their sect which is very near on their standards.

Zhou Lin left the city and has come deep within the Green Abyss Forest. He goes within the cliff cave he used for his last tribulation breakthrough, and sits in the middle of the scorched wake within it.

He has decided to breakthrough both of his Cultivation Rank and his Spiritual Rank. It might be good to have strong abilities, but having high cultivation level is still the best thing for him. It helps him become more stronger, and faster than his enemies.

As he takes a sit on the ground and look at the prompt warning him of the upcoming Heavenly Tribulation, he only snorted before proceeding.

"I am more stronger now. Of course I dare!" He pumped himself like that as he waited for the Heavenly Tribulation.

____________________________________________

Deep within the Green Abyss Forest, there are multiple Demon Beasts using these as their home. A lot of Demon Beasts nest are existing within it, and they have their own community and hierarchy, which only a few knows on the human side.

On the shallower parts of the deep forest location, on the eastern region of this forest, there is a being who rules over every Demon Beasts here. They are known as either the Ancient Beasts, or even Demon Kings.

In this case, the one here is a Demon King. The nine fluffy fox tail behind the cold beauty with a white hair shows her heritage as a fox demon. she is also a very terrifying demon that can cause even the Yuan Empire to fall.

Demon King Yue is the one who rules over this part of the forest. She is a Demon Beast comparable to a Star Realm expert. A Star Realm expert is four realms higher than the Mountain Realm.

Yuan Empire has a lot of Mountain Realm experts within their nation, though they only have the Great Emperor, and the Genius Imperial Prince on the Celestial Realm, which is still a realm short than a Star Realm expert.

Even if she is only a 2nd Stage Star Realm Demon Beasts, she is already a force to be reckoned with. She is comparable to the land deities surrounding these whole continent.

Demon Beasts like these are not interested at the affairs of humans. They have lived for thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years doing whatever they want. They mostly spend their days silently, enjoying their life within the confines of their own small worlds.

Though currently, she is being disturbed by another Heavenly Tribulation happening within her territory. It's not within her Small World, which she personally created through her own insights about the natural laws, but it is still distracting enough, mostly because the tribulation this time is for someone who is breaking through the Sky Realm.

Demon Beasts can cultivate, so they know what it means to breakthrough to the other realms. Though unlike human cultivators, demon beasts have to undergo a harsher lightning tribulation, destroying their former bodies and evolving to become more stronger.

As she has been living here for tens of thousands of years, she actually knows the general power level of this region. It's actually why she and some of her fellow Demon Kings chose this forest to be their house. It is because no one can threaten them here.

Now, there seems to be a genius within this Green Holy Region. They are actually capable of breaking through to the Sky Realm.

She normally wouldn't care if not for the fact that this has happened in less than two months. Three Tribulations, all at the region she declared as her turf?

That's actually irritating. The strong lightning descending on the ground and crashing on the cliff cave which is a few thousand miles away from this Small World is resounding, and her Divine Sense is causing her to sense it and disturb her sleep.

"Impudent! Why, of all places, are they breaking through on the ground!? Shouldn't they find their own cave abodes or go to the peak of the mountain?"

Her concerns are normal. Breaking through to the other realm means facing the wrath of the heavens. Cultivators will normally do it on a place that is actually isolated from the outside world, like the peak of a mountain or some sort of Small World.

This Cultivator is crazy enough that they are actually doing their tribulation on the ground, where many living beings are nearby. Regardless if they are a Demon Beasts, it's just plain stupidity as the Cultivator doing the Heavenly Tribulation will surely become weakened. Many Demon Beasts will be attracted and they will surely hunt that weakened Cultivator, killing them and getting a juicy meal for the day.

"I have to see for myself!" She says, finally deciding to stand up from the bed of mystical flowers she is using as her resting place. In a single step forward, her location instantly changes into that of the cliff cave. She is not scared of the remnants of the lightning tribulation. She wasn't the one on the receiving end, and she has some resistance to it.

"Huh...?" Her eyes widened when she saw a shocking scene.

The handsome cultivator sitting crosslegged in the middle of this cliff cave where the moonlight shines is actually controlling Heavenly Thunder with his own will. Moreso, the way he uses his Qi is so sublime.

"Amazing..." She can't help but mutter that, sighing beautifully at the display of absolute control.

"Huh!?" The Cultivator, Zhou Lin is surprised when he heard a voice behind him. He is just done taking the first tribulation, so he didn't need to focus on controlling the lightning anymore as he stands up quickly and look behind him.

He met a very beautiful woman who almost makes his heart skip a beat.

'Who the hell is this person!?' He wonders, while feeling a bit nervous as he actually didn't sensed her at all.
