Ling Tian hummed in amusement and he clenched his fist while his Ki flared up.
Seeing the Dark Blue Scaled Flood Dragon charging at him, Ling Tian moved forward and punched towards the Flood Dragon.
*Bang!!*
As the titanic forces in the air collided, massive shockwaves were created as the clouds dispersed in the sky.
Ling Tian stayed in the same spot while, the Dark Blue Scaled Flood Dragon was sent flying a few hundred meters.
" No!! Impossible!! How can a newborn have physical power surpassing this lord's?!" The Dark Blue Flood Dragon uttered in frustration and disbelief.
" Don't be so upset now! It's too soon to give up! I haven't had my fun yet! Lets continu--?!" Ling Tian didn't finish his sentence as a terrifying presence coursed through him.
Ling Tian knew what this meant.
It was the sign of a Heavenly Tribulation! And this one is much stronger than the one he devoured before.
Ling Tian observed the Azure Gravity Ring's Inner World and saw that Althea was now transforming...
Transforming into a True Dragon, albeit slowly.
This tribulation is meant for Althea, a True Dragon. Ling Tian is sure that this tribulation will be thousands if not, billions of times more powerful than the one he faced before.
But this was exactly why Ling Tian gave the Blood Flame Dragon bloodline to Althea.
Although Ling Tian wouldn't say it out loud, he is becoming slightly addicted to devouring the Heavenly Lightning. But if people heard it, they might think he is a masochist if they don't know his ability to devour heavenly lightning.
Ling Tian then looked at the Dark Blue Scaled Flood Dragon as he activated his Samsara Eyes and said, " It's been fun, little lizard! But our little charade has come to an end."
Before the Dark Blue Scaled Flood Dragon could react, Ling Tian appeared before it and touched its forehead with his hand.
Ling Tian extracted the Flood Dragon's soul from its body and condensed it into a soul orb and stored it in his Soul Storage Space with the Dark Blue scaled Flood Dragon's lifeless body.
" Now for the location..... Hmmm the previous place is best since it is already destroyed and devoid of life." Ling Tian muttered as his Samsara eyes deactivated and his Copy-Wheel eyes activated as he used 'Spatial Movement' to teleport away from there.
....
Meanwhile, Xin Qinyue's group reached the Ice Phoenix Empire's outskirts, in the opposite direction where Su Fengxi and the others were at, so there's almost no chance of them running into each other.
Using Spirit Vessels are forbidden in the range of Ice Phoenix Empire, so Xin Qinyue's group had to travel in their legs towards the Ice Phoenix Empire.
There were many other groups similar to Xin Qinyue's group here as well.
The rest of the group of cultivators were also here for the same reason as Xin Qinyue's group.
There were many shady looking people who were clearly here with ill intent on the sides of the path.
One by one, they all went up, making ready to do something. Those bastards weren't foolish enough to kill and rob someone in broad daylight, and in the lead was a handsome and bright noble's son waving his paper fan. He very elegantly cupped his fists at Xin Qinyue, inviting her to join his own group, intentionally revealing for a moment his Middle Stage 2nd level Earth Core Realm cultivation.
"Not interested."
Xin Qinyue very bluntly rejected the offer without even turning her head.
If Ling Tian was here, he'll be very shocked. Because he has never known his Yue'er to be able to act in such a cold manner.
Touching the paper fan against his nose in discouragement, he mockingly smiled. His gaze stayed on the girl's back, his eyes full of sinister intent.
The rest of the cultivators that were there also themselves began to disperse in boredom.
"I'm afraid this ancient ruins was something that was supposed to only look impressive, let's go."
"I heard that the Ice Phoenix Trading Square is rather impressive. Going there is definitely more interesting than going to whatever ruins."
"En, perhaps we can purchase some good items there."
'Trading Square?' Esdeath wondered.
Hearing this name made Esdeath's eyes shine. Maybe she could acquire a Rapier that would suit her, as her Stupid 'Lover' didn't even give her a weapon to protect herself as he carelessly went off to who knows where. Going by this, Esdeath asked Yan Zuqing about this place, the Trading Square.
Yan Zuqing was surprised at Esdeath's ignorance, "It can't be, Sister Esdeath, you don't know about even Trading Squares?"
"Rayne didn't tell us anything about it. We don't know anything other than what Rayne told us." Esdeath did not hide this fact and Virgo nodded as well.
During this time, the other girls came to know that Ling Tian is also called Rayne, so they didn't find it strange that Esdeath is referring to Ling Tian as Rayne.
"Ah, it's rare to see Cultivators that are like you, Sister Esdeath." Yan Zuqing laughed.
Trading Squares were extremely famous in all the eight Continents. Not a single Cultivator was unaware of them. Thus, it was no wonder that Yan Zuqing was very surprised since most Cultivators would visit these locations to trade and conduct item transactions between each other there. After agreeing on a set location, some Cultivators that did not wish to cultivate would just take up residence at said location. Over time, a square would gradually take shape. These squares generally received the protection of a powerful and legit faction, so Cultivators did not need to be uneasy.
"The Ice Phoenix Trading Square isn't too far away. I originally exchanged an Earth Rank Artifact for a few foundation establishment pills, the last time I was here."
Although Esdeath has no idea what Foundation Establishment pills are, she didn't think too much of it and simply followed Yan Zuqing.
.....
*Fwip*
Ling Tian appeared high up in the sky above the the Thunder filled land. But Ling Tian was surprised by what was going on in this place.
Ling Tian immediately hid himself in the by using 'Air Mirage' and hid his aura and observed the situation.
Every single one here were very powerful. Even the weakest is a Divine Lord Realm practitioner. While the Strongest are five individuals with 4th level Divine Emperor Realm cultivation.
Ling Tian could feel that the Heavenly tribulation was just a few minutes away from descending onto him.
Ling Tian identified the source for their conflict. Ling Tian wasn't really surprised and seeing the Lightning Essence pools as, after the coming Tribulation is over, there will be thousands of Lightning Essence pools here.
Ling Tian made a mask and wore it on his face at the same time, retrieving the Shape changing Cloak from the system inventory and wore it around him. As he willed, the cloak transformed into an Akatsuki group cloak. Right now, Ling Tian looked like Obito or Tobi.
Ling Tian then descended down to float right at the spot where the people could see him and released his aura.
They were all startled, but they suddenly felt immense danger, as if it could erase them from existence.
Even the five Divine Emperors were terrified. Every single one of them instantly fled without hesitation. This is because of their extra senses as Divine cultivators.
In a few seconds, the place was only left with Ling Tian and the lightning bolts and tendrils that fly around in the air from time to time.
" Now I have nothing to bother me." Ling Tian said as he looked at the sky that was darkening, with anticipation.
