Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start
Chapter 1041 - 103: Heavenly Calamity Descends on the World

Canglei Ancient Ruins, sprawling and occupying nearly a quarter of Yunzhou, served as a divine site of heavenly retribution. Thunderous power permeated the area, with tens of thousands of thunderstorms brewing fearsome, world-ending forces. It was famously recognized as one of the deadliest places in the East Profound Region, second only to the Evil King Mountain, home to many heaven-tier demons.

There were numerous legends about this place. Whether it was a Great Power, a saintly lord, or even the strongest of beings, none were willing to venture here.

Because the stronger one's power, the more severe the heavenly tribulations they faced. These tribulations were divine means to punish beings. Once ensnared, crossing the tribulation was hardly manageable, often resulting in a nine-out-of-ten chance of death, or even certain demise.

Today, Gu Chen and a group of exceptional talents from Qingyun Academy arrived here to search for a sacred physical refining object, the Xuanhuang Qi.

Before long, Gu Chen and his companions had crossed hundreds of miles, reaching the outermost boundary of the Canglei Ancient Ruins. The power in the air became increasingly palpable, causing everyone's hearts to tremble.

The expressions of everyone from Qingyun Academy turned solemn, including Gu Chen's.

Because once they ventured deeper into this place, their fates would no longer be in their hands but left to destiny.

If they were to encounter a heavenly tribulation, no one could save them but themselves.

Gu Chen and his companions were unaware of the happenings outside, but when they had barely advanced a hundred miles into the Canglei Ancient Ruins, an anomaly occurred that changed everyone's expression.

Boom!

Suddenly, the skies flashed with lightning and roared with thunder. An intimidating divine presence enveloped the area, sending chills through everyone present.

Crackling!

Numerous silvery streaks of electricity emerged, and in an instant, the area was shrouded in dark clouds. The dense leaden clouds flickered with terrifying lightning, the pressure so immense as if it could split the heavens and shatter the earth.

"This is bad!"

Among the Qingyun Academy group, someone yelled out, sensing something wrong.

"It's a heavenly tribulation, a heavenly tribulation is descending, run!"

Instantly, everyone panicked, running frantically to the distance like startled rabbits, with no one daring to stay.

Members of the Sun Divine Sparrow Clan, including Yan Qi, also changed their expressions dramatically and evacuated as fast as they could.

Gu Chen furrowed his brows slightly. Being a master of The Way of Thunder, he could certainly feel that the incoming heavenly tribulation was locked onto someone in particular.

Subsequently, his gaze shifted and landed on a figure nearby.

At that moment, the man appeared flustered and lost, standing cluelessly on the spot with everyone keeping their distance from him.

Only a man and a woman were next to him, looking anxiously at him.

"Tobu Jun!" Gu Chen, standing some distance away, fixated his gaze; the man who had drawn the heavenly tribulation was undoubtedly Tobu Jun.

At that moment, Tobu Jun also realized this. His expression shifted from confusion to agitation, and eventually, sheer panic overwhelmed him.

"Save me, big brother, little sister, you must save me!" Tobu Jun's face was filled with terror, his body uncontrollably trembling.

After being targeted by the heavenly tribulation, the overwhelming pressure was too much for his body and mind to bear, pushing him to the verge of collapse.

"Second brother!" Tuobu Jade's lovely face tensed with immense worry.

And their elder brother, the most outstanding prodigy of the Tuoba family, Tuoba Ying, had a grave expression, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white, feeling absolutely helpless.

He had not anticipated that Tobu Jun would have such misfortune. They had just entered the Canglei Ancient Ruins not long ago, and already he had triggered a heavenly tribulation.

The terrifying streaks of lightning flickered above Tobu Jun's head, the interweaving silvery flashes fully displaying the majesty of the divine force.

Without needing to say it aloud, Tuoba Ying knew he couldn't save Tobu Jun.

Moreover, if he took action, the result would be both of them undergoing the tribulation together, and since his cultivation level and power were greater, the heavenly tribulation would correspondingly intensify.

At that time, Tobu Jun would die even quicker.

This was why the Canglei Ancient Ruins were so rarely visited; no one was willing to come here.

"Big brother, what do we do, we must save second brother!" Tuobu Jade was extremely anxious and worried, but she had no solutions and could only look towards her eldest brother, Tuoba Ying, hoping for a sliver of hope.

After all, no matter what, Tobu Jun was still her second brother, who had always treated her extremely well since she was young.

In fact, since Tuobu Ying had always been devoted to cultivation, Tobu Jun had been the one who accompanied her throughout her life, making his importance slightly greater in her heart.

"Big brother!" Seeing Tuoba Ying remaining silent, Tuobu Jade grew desperate, her beautiful eyes nearly brimming with tears.

"I... am powerless," Tuoba Ying said with a strained expression, his fists clenched but eventually releasing, his gaze lost as he spoke those words.

"How could this be..."

For the siblings, Tobu Jun and Tuobu Jade, this was the worst news. In an instant, Tobu Jun's face turned pale, completely devoid of color.

"I..."

"I..."

Tobu Jun's lips were dry, his body trembled as he tried to speak, but due to both inner and physical terror, he opened his mouth for a long time without being able to say a complete sentence.

"I don't want to die..." Finally, with a vacant look and his body like chaff, he stood there and uttered these words, but his voice was filled with helplessness.

Certainly, he anticipated his own fate.

Tuoba Ying bit his lip hard. Regardless, that was his younger brother, and watching this scene unfold could only make him painfully close his eyes.
