Tribulation above the Blood Sea

The old man said "I don't know much but I do know that the Golden Crown is for the King. That's why I recognized you, also, I hope you can forgive the rest. They don't know, the Tree hasn't been here for a long time." Cross looked at the Giant Tree in the distance and said "Just a seedling but it's dead? Why?"

The old man sighed and replied "King, you have no idea what happened to us while you've been gone. The Brahma has been targeting the Divine Tree at every turn, forcing the Divine Tree to hide along with most of the Elves. As for the rest... You can see the result. We're trapped and abandoned, not on purpose but because we're too far away."

The old man almost started crying as he said "The Tree is dying." Cross was silent and drank his wine without a word, he suddenly asked "The others, they believe me to be an Evil Spirit?" the Old man sighed and nodded, Cross hummed in thought.

Cross looked at the old man and said "Do you know where the Tree is hiding at?" The old man shook his head and said "No, but I do know that it's not in the 3000 Worlds Realm." Cross nodded and narrowed his eyes, thinking over a decision in his mind.

The Old man said "I heard you and your friends are going to the Tianhe Blood Sea?" Cross nodded and said "Yes. We all need to advance to the Immortal King Realm." The old man nodded and said "I will take you all there." Cross nodded and drank his wine as Long Chen and Jiang Lei walked over.

Cross looked at Long Chen and said "5th volume?" Long Chen touched his nose and said "You knew?" Cross smiled and said "Of course, I have it now too." Long Chen laughed and smiled to the old man saying "Thank you."

The old man was flattered and said "No, it's my pleasure. Friends of the King are friends of the Elves. Not to mention you are blessed by the Butterfly Clan and the Colorful Crane clan. Even if the King wasn't here, you would be welcomed with open arms." Long Chen smiled and the old man stood up saying "Alright, I will bring you to the Tianhe Blood Sea."

He smashed his staff on the ground and the group disappeared.

He sent them off and returned to the Holy Land. The trio flew to the Tianhe Blood Sea on their own, they entered and were immediately attacked by Monsters, truly rude, anyway they can be rude in Hell because they were all chopped up and killed by the combined strength of the Trio.

A few days later

The trio suddenly came to a Tribulation and watched from the periphery. Lei Ling'er merged into the thunder clouds and the trio watched and talked. Lei Ling'er pretended to be a thunder beast and killed Monsters before turning on the thunder beasts.

The tribulation ended and there was only one person left alive. Lei Ling'er looked at him and the Monster said "I am your Lord! Submit to me!" thinking he was chosen by the Heavens to accomplish great things and rule the world, bringing peace and prosperity to all creatures and uniting the entire World.

Unfortunately, he was a big idiot and Lei Ling'er smashed him into blood mist before disappearing into the void.

Cross, Long Chen, and Jiang Lei laughed and the older Monsters looked at them with deadly eyes.

Long Chen said "Are they looking at us?"

Jiang Lei said "It would seem so."

Cross added "Look they're coming right at us."

Long Chen replied "Huh, are they attacking?"

Jiang Lei nodded and said "It would seem so."

The three were silent for a moment before Long Chen grabbed Cross and Jiang Lei and ran away. Cross let out a trail of black lotuses as they escaped, having done this hundreds of times. Cross suddenly said "Maybe, I can do that..."

He shook off Long Chen and stood in the air, pressing his palms out. The millions of monsters chasing them were suddenly locked onto, a giant black Lotus bloomed under them.

Long Chen watched in shock as the giant Lotus closed on the Monsters, swallowing them all up just like what happened to the battlefield in the vision at the Space Gate! Cross touched Long Chen and the Lotus disappeared.

Half the Monsters went into the Black soil in Cross' Inner world, while the rest went into the Black Soil in Long Chen's inner world. Thousands of Supreme Fruits appeared on the tree. Long Chen was thrilled and said "Waaah! Amazing!"

Cross suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood and fell from the sky, Long Chen jumped and caught him saying "What happened?!" the dragon's voice rang in his head "That technique is taboo. He recreated the scene from the Space gate but the Cause and Effect was monstrous."

Long Chen was anxious and fed Cross healing pills one after the other, when a Golden Lotus shined on Cross' body and his injuries healed rapidly. Thunder clouds appeared and more monsters started showing up, Long Chen cursed and said "Let's go." before carrying Cross and rushing to the Core are of the Tianhe Blood Sea.

Jiang Lei followed him and they flew to the Core area, they were met by a member of the Kunpeng clan, Kuntu, who directly called Long Chen food for his dragon blood. Cross trembled as a beam of green light fell from the sky onto him.

Suddenly, Cross' body trembled more and more becoming violent. His ears broke through the concealing charm he put on them and golden markings appeared over his left eye and cheek. A breath full of nature invaded his body and he faintly heard a weak voice "Hurry up... The calamity.. is not far away..." before disappearing.

Cross opened his eyes and floated in the air. Long Chen smiled and said "Aiyo, you're alive." Cross smiled and said "You're not dead, how can I die?" Long Chen laughed and Cross looked at Kuntu saying "A bird?"

Kuntu shouted "I'm a Kunpeng! You can only be my food!" Cross said "Huh." his figure blurred and Kuntu's head was in his hands as he added "That's strange, you look like a bird to me." the rest of Kuntu's body disappeared and Cross threw the head into the black soil.

Long Chen laughed and said "What a moron." Cross smiled said "You can't be too lenient with birds, next thing you know, they're shitting on your head." Jiang Lei and Long Chen burst out laughing and Cross cracked a smile.

Suddenly, a blood red barrier appeared around the entire Tianhe Blood Sea. Long Chen said "This is the last time the sea will boil! There won't be a Tianhe Blood Sea in the 3000 Worlds in the future." Cross shrugged and said "Meh, who cares."

Long Chen laughed and said "You're right." as his body exploded with power, Cross did the same, and two super giant tribulation clouds appeared, instead of fighting they merged together and swirled into a Super Giant Mega Ultimate Tribulation Cloud.

Long Chen and Cross chuckled, Cross grabbed Long Chen's hand and they held their palms a meter apart from each other. A lotus pod that was black, red, and blue appeared before it shot off into the clouds and blew a massive hole in the clouds.

Cross let go and looked excited, staring at the thunder clouds that rumbled angrily. The SGMUTC was the last line of defense from the Immortal King Realm! He would be mocked by his cloud friends if he couldn't kill them today! It was do or die for the SGMUTC.

Countless colorful swords rained down on the millions of people in the area, who were also going through their tribulations. Their tribulation clouds were, obviously, devoured by the SGMUTC who left no prisoners.

The swords were killing people in droves, while Cross, Long Chen, and Jiang Lei were playing cards in mid-air. Cross took out a cigarette and held it out, a sword passed by and lit it before Cross put it in his mouth and kept playing.

Suddenly, the colorful swords turned black and started killing stronger people. Cross said "I have a full house." Jiang Lei threw his cards and Long Chen smirked as he said "4 of a kind." Cross clicked his tongue and started shuffling the deck of cards as Long Chen racked in the fairy crystals.

Apparently, the Thundercloud was despised by them. The SGMUTC was even angrier than before and the black swords became blacker and more frequent. They ignored the swords, that shattered upon contact with their bodies.

The Inner World was absorbing the lightning wildly, so was Lei Ling'er and Jiang Lei. This went on for a while until their table exploded and the clouds opened up. The trio looked up and countless lightning chains shot out of the clouds, drilling into the Blood Sea.

The chains pulled out countless thunder beasts that started slaughtering people. Cross stood up and exhaled a mouthful of smoke before turning his wrist as the scythe appearing again as he went out to slaughter thunder beasts.

Cross absorbed the lightning runes but nothing happened. He was stunned and confused, as was Long Chen because the same thing happened to him. The dragon's voice rang in their minds "You will no longer get nourishment from the Tribulations." The duo were stunned and said simultaneously "Why?!"

Cross instead let the Inner World absorb the Lightning for itself as he continued to kill Thunder beasts angrily, the Dragon replied "Because you both want to destroy the rules and make your own. The Elf boy laughs in his dreams about destroying the Heavens and Long Chen wants to create new rules."

Long Chen asked "But I've said this before, why didn't it happen before?" The Dragon replied "Bah! You were too weak before. The Tribulation clouds treated your words as fart, but now you are a threat and the Heavens are afraid so you will be targeted."

Cross grumbled and started massacring Thunder beasts as a small blackhole appeared on his back and sucked in the lightning, sending it to the rest of the girls in a very calm and gentle state. Long Chen had a Golden Dragon image behind him and he started devouring everything.

The Thunderbeasts suddenly gained consciousness and started screaming "Ahh! Die for me!" charging at Cross and Long Chen. Cross exhaled a mouthful of smoke and said in disdain "I wasn't afraid of you when you were alive, you think I'd be scared of a ghost?" as he killed the Thunderbeasts rushing towards him.

Apparently, the Tribulation took the souls of the people who died in it and injected them into the Thunderbeasts so that they could have revenge. The SGMUTC thought he was smart and cunning, but he almost choked and died seeing them being taken out so easily. That's it. Time fore plan 'Z'!

The Blood Sea started drying up, revealing the sea bed. Thunder pillars started shooting through the sea bed before lightning figures started shooting out of the ground into the air, Cross and Long Chen were shocked, the figures! They were...
