Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi
Chapter 848 - 846: An Illusory Tribulation?

Boom!

Rumbling!

As Xiao Yi and the others soared towards the sky, the dark red apocalyptic clouds above seemed to have been provoked by a deity and thus erupted into complete fury. Dark red specks rained down incessantly, joining to form swathes.

Pitter-patter.

Like a crimson blood rain.

Whoosh!

Each drop of this blood-red light, which coalesced into a rain, was as sharp as the edge of a blade.

Puff, puff, puff!

Xiao Yi, leading the charge, was the first to feel the terror of the light rain. His body shuddered, and he emitted a heaven-shaking low growl. Beneath him, Little Lin roared towards the sky, and amidst the floating and sinking golden light, a resounding dragon's roar was unleashed.

Roar!

Beneath this terrible roar, Little Lin carried Xiao Yi as they continued to charge towards the firmament.

A sharp sword.

In Xiao Yi's hand, silver sword light burst forth, and with a whooshing sound and a tremor of the void, the boundless Sword Qi tore open the fabric of space. This fearsome Sword Qi transformed into a colossal domain of the sword path, shielding the ten thousand disciples of the Xiaoshanhe Institute, including the Shadow Demon.

Boom, boom, boom!

Thunderous noises echoed between heaven and earth.

It was the blood-red light rain falling upon the Sword Qi, where two dramatically different energies collided and exploded with earth-shattering force.

A horrible energy storm swept through the firmament in an instant.

Protected by Xiao Yi, not a single one of the ten thousand Xiaoshanhe Institute disciples was affected by the Heavenly Tribulation.

This scene left countless strong individuals in the martial field dumbfounded, "Is this... really achievable by human means? To take a hundred thousand people with him to forcefully cross the tribulation... Even if the Martial God were to be reborn, I'm afraid he wouldn't be capable of that, right?"

"It's too early to draw conclusions now. Heavenly Tribulations tend to grow stronger as they progress, and the first few are not all that powerful. The real test only starts from the fourth tribulation!"

"He can't possibly succeed, or rather... there's no one in this world who could!"

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd,

The Sword Qi erupting from Xiao Yi's hand resounded with a hum, relentlessly conquering the downpour of blood-red light rain, keeping it all outside the bounds of his sword domain.

As these light rains fell, they could not breach the defense of Xiao Yi's sword domain.

Disbelieving eyes watched as Xiao Yi alone tore through the heavens woven by the blood-red light rain, leading the ten thousand elites of the Xiaoshanhe Institute to collectively break free from the light rain's cover, heading straight for the dark red tribulation clouds.

Meaning they had successfully passed the first Heavenly Tribulation!

Hiss...

The sound of sharp breaths being drawn rippled through the crowd.

"Impossible..."

"I must be hallucinating. How can someone alone achieve this..."

The shock was still plastered on the faces of several individuals, unable to fade.

Especially Po Jun.

His expression was extremely unsightly; he had thought Xiao Yi's actions were a sure path to death, yet not only did Xiao Yi meet no danger, he alone led a hundred thousand people through the first layer of the tribulation unscathed.

Such a feeling made his face burn even more, as he had adamantly claimed Xiao Yi could never succeed.

Earth Demon Star tore his gaze away reluctantly, saying seriously, "Could it be that the power of this Heavenly Tribulation is not as terrifying as we imagined?"

Hearing this, a group of powerhouses revealed thoughtful expressions.

In their eyes...

A dark red apocalyptic Heavenly Tribulation caused by a hundred thousand people crossing together was something that could easily doom them all to death, but now this tribulation seemed far weaker than they had imagined!

Otherwise...

How could Xiao Yi easily break through the first Heavenly Tribulation with a hundred thousand men?

Po Jun's gaze flickered slightly, and he found himself agreeing with Earth Demon Star's speculation. As he hesitated, Earth Demon Star continued, "Po Jun Elder, this world-ending Heavenly Tribulation is just Qiu Yiyun's word. None of us know if that so-called ancient text is even real. I believe this Heavenly Tribulation is probably all bark and no bite!"

"I think so too!"

"Elder, this must be Xiao Yi bluffing, trying to scare us..."

Faced with a chorus of speculation from his subordinates.

And considering how effortlessly Xiao Yi had broken through the Heavenly Tribulation earlier, Po Jun nodded firmly after a moment's hesitation, "You're right, there must be deceit. However, we also can't act recklessly. Here's what we'll do, Earth Demon Star, take a thousand Earthshatter Guards and test the waters! If the Heavenly Tribulation is indeed a paper tiger, I will lead the charge to expose Xiao Yi's conspiracy. But if the Heavenly Tribulation is truly terrifying, your thousand men will muster their fighting spirit to enhance the power of the Tribulation. I want all a hundred thousand elites of Xiaoshanhe Institute to be buried under the thunder..."

His eyes were filled with a vicious red glow.

Earth Demon Star nodded vigorously, ready to lead a suicide mission, knowing that it could mean certain death.

"For the Holy Church!"

Earth Demon Star clenched his fist tightly and growled, "Earthshatter Guards, first squad, follow me!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Earth Demon Star immediately led a thousand Earthshatter Guards soaring into the sky.

From atop the high platform.

Qiu Yiyun and the others changed expressions, "Po Jun, that madman, is he planning to take advantage of the Heavenly Tribulation to launch a sneak attack on Xiao Yi and his men?"

"A thousand-plus Earthshatter Guards along with Earth Demon Star could cause the Tribulation to backlash, further strengthening its power. What in the world are they trying to do?"

"Xiao Yi and his group are in danger..."

The Shadow Demons and others in the sky also noticed the actions of Po Jun and his group, their faces all changing as they looked towards Xiao Yi, "Leader, shall we go and stop them?"

Xiao Yi first paused, then let out a cold chuckle, shaking his head, "No need. Since they're seeking death, I'll oblige them!"

His mind was incredibly sharp, and in a flash, he understood Po Jun's intentions.

Xiao Yi gently patted Little Lin's head and transmitted a message, "Little Lin, we'll work together to weaken the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, let them taste this weakened Tribulation..."

Little Lin's eyes shone brightly, nodding strongly.

The brothers understood each other with perfect synergy, grasping Xiao Yi's plan with just a glance.

At that moment...

The second wave of the Heavenly Tribulation descended.

This time, it was not a rain of blood-colored light but a series of blood-colored storms swarming down from the blood-colored clouds above, shaking the very void and seeming to tear the space asunder.

Xiao Yi's eyebrows formed a frown as he held the demon sword Zhan Yue and let out a deep roar, "Slash for me!"

Little Lin howled at the sky.

A black radiance surged out, adhering to the silver Sword Qi.

Hiss, hiss!

In its path...

The storm was invisibly weakened by seventy percent.

The weakened storm fell upon Earth Demon Star and the thousand Earthshatter Guards, who struggled to deal with the violent tempest containing unrivaled destructive power, but their power was not enough to threaten them.

"Just as I expected!"

Earth Demon Star's eyes gleamed as he turned back toward Po Jun, transmitting, "Elder, just as you and I thought, this Heavenly Tribulation is nothing but a facade!"

"Ha ha ha, indeed?"

Po Jun's face was alight with ecstatic joy, his chilling gaze turning toward Xiao Yi and his group, revealing a ferocious smile. He raised an arm pointing at Xiao Yi, "Holy Church warriors, follow this Elder and annihilate Xiaoshanhe Institute..."

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Po Jun led the charge, followed by the Tiangang and Earthshatter Guards, rushing straight toward Xiao Yi and his men.

Watching the densely packed forces of the Changsheng Sect, the corners of Xiao Yi's mouth lifted slightly, "The fish has taken the bait!"
