Zhenmo Pass remained silent throughout.
Meanwhile, the Hengluo Battlefield was bustling with activity.
There were four God-Sealing Steles: the Physical Body God-Sealing Stele, the Primordial Spirit God-Sealing Stele, the Talent God-Sealing Stele, and the Luck God-Sealing Stele.
Adding the previously appeared Appearance God-Sealing Stele, Divine Ability God-Sealing Stele, Comprehension Ability God-Sealing Stele, Strength God-Sealing Stele, and Law God-Sealing Stele.
There were exactly nine God-Sealing Steles, testing nine aspects of attributes.
They covered almost every aspect of a Cultivator's capabilities.
It was the most comprehensive test.
The entire Hengluo Battlefield was densely packed with figures.
Cultivators from the Boundary Sea and the Black Calamity Tribes stood on opposite sides.
This was actually a form of conflict, just on a different level.
On the Boundary Sea side, Emperor Son Sansheng appeared, standing in the Void Realm, his body still shrouded in a hazy radiance.
Meanwhile, on the Black Calamity Tribes' side, Ye Junlin also appeared.
The testing of the God-Sealing Steles could be considered a continuation of their unfinished battle.
"If we talk about who has the hope of reaching the top this time, I suppose it's only those two, right?"
Many Cultivators looked toward Emperor Son Sansheng and Ye Junlin.
Although there were many other Prodigies present.
There were even quite a few Prodigies who had come from the Origin Universe for training.
But if one were to ask who truly had the qualifications to reach the top.
In everyone's eyes, it was only Emperor Son Sansheng and Ye Junlin.
The others were a bit lacking.
Of course, there was actually one more: Jun Xiaoyao.
However, there was still no movement from Zhenmo Pass.
This made many people shake their heads secretly, feeling it was a pity.
They would not be able to witness the miracle of someone reaching the top of all nine God-Sealing Steles.
At the same time.
Over at Zhenmo Pass.
Many people were gathered outside the thatched cottage where the Great Emperor Tianya had secluded himself.
It was now also Jun Xiaoyao's place of seclusion.
"Is there still no movement from the Young Lord?"
"What a pity. If the Young Lord came out of seclusion, he would definitely be able to reach the top."
Yun Yusheng, Yun Qinglin, Yun Xuanxu, and other Prodigies of the Yun Imperial Clan had been staying here.
In addition, there were Lu Xingling, Saintess Song Miaoyu, Li Feiyan, Ji Yue, Jian Wanjue, Jian Yuhan, Wu De, Cai Shiyun, and others.
These people were either followers of Jun Xiaoyao, or his maids, henchmen, underlings, and so on.
Additionally, Tantai Qingxuan and Tantai Mingzhu of the Tantai Imperial Clan were also waiting here.
"I believe that the Young Commander will surely be able to survive this tribulation safely."
Some old commanders of Zhenmo Pass also appeared, their eyes filled with hope.
They believed that a tiger father has no dog son.
The descendant of the Great Emperor Tianya would never be weaker than others!
At this moment, countless gazes were fixed on the thatched cottage where he was in seclusion.
Because it was covered in Formations, it was difficult for ordinary people to enter.
Time passed bit by bit.
There was still no movement at all from the place of seclusion.
Meanwhile, over at the Hengluo Battlefield, Prodigies had already entered the God-Sealing Steles to accept the trials.
Emperor Son Sansheng stepped forward and entered one of the God-Sealing Steles.
On the other side, Ye Junlin looked into the distance, as if looking at a certain place across endless space.
The direction he was looking at was none other than Zhenmo Pass!
"I only have one true opponent; you shouldn't disappoint me."
Ye Junlin murmured in his heart.
Then, he also entered one of the God-Sealing Steles.
These four God-Sealing Steles seemed to be a stage built for them.
Just after Emperor Son Sansheng, Ye Junlin, and the others entered the God-Sealing Steles.
Over at Zhenmo Pass.
Many of Jun Xiaoyao's acquaintances and subordinates continued to wait.
However, time kept passing.
Inside the thatched cottage of the seclusion place, there was still no movement.
Seeing this, many people's eyes dimmed.
It wasn't that they were disappointed in Jun Xiaoyao.
After all, that was the Curse of the Fallen Immortal of the Calamity Clan; even a Great Emperor would bleed if struck by it.
It seemed reasonable that Jun Xiaoyao's Sacred Body Dao Fetus Form could not recover.
And just as everyone was thinking this in their hearts.
Suddenly, a captain of the Boundary-Suppressing Army at Zhenmo Pass subconsciously looked up.
He was suddenly stunned.
Because he didn't know when it had started.
Above the place of seclusion, a large expanse of pitch-black tribulation clouds had gathered.
And they were gathering more and more.
"Wait, look!"
The captain of the Boundary-Suppressing Army couldn't help but shout out.
Everyone looked up and held their breath upon seeing the sky full of tribulation clouds.
"This... this is..."
"It's a Lightning Tribulation, and... it's at the Quasi-Emperor level!"
A figure at the Quasi-Emperor level guarding Zhenmo Pass spoke up.
Having experienced the Quasi-Emperor Tribulation, they naturally recognized this aura; it was the fluctuation during a Quasi-Emperor's Undergoing Tribulation.
The so-called First-Tribulation Quasi-Emperor to Ninth-Tribulation Quasi-Emperor meant undergoing nine tribulations to transform.
However...
"Why are there so many tribulation clouds?"
Even that Quasi-Emperor showed surprise.
As someone who had been through it, he also knew.
When an ordinary Quasi-Emperor undergoes the tribulation, the range and intensity of the tribulation clouds are usually just so.
Although it was also extremely dangerous.
But after all, it was a First-Tribulation Quasi-Emperor.
And the further one went, the more powerful the Lightning Tribulation became.
"Previously, in the battle in the Xuanhuang Multiverse, Yun Xiao had already undergone the Physical Body Quasi-Emperor Tribulation."
"Looking at it now, could it be that he is about to undergo the Realm Quasi-Emperor Tribulation?"
A commander-level figure asked in surprise.
"But is this a First-Tribulation Quasi-Emperor level Heavenly Tribulation?" another commander asked in astonishment.
In just a moment, the entire sky above Zhenmo Pass, the endless firmament, was covered by the tribulation clouds.
Looking around, it was pitch black, blocking out the light of the sky.
The entire Zhenmo Pass dimmed, as if night had overturned the earth.
No matter how one looked at it, it didn't look like a First-Tribulation Quasi-Emperor Tribulation.
It looked more like a Ninth-Tribulation Quasi-Emperor Tribulation.
"Young Master..."
Lu Xingling, Saintess Song Miaoyu, and the others clenched their jade hands.
Immediately, in that endless expanse of tribulation clouds, the sound of muffled thunder rolled, like the roar of a Dragon or the howl of a tiger.
Lightning of various colors surged, endlessly brilliant.
The types of lightning were too numerous to count.
Generally speaking, if one is undergoing a Quasi-Emperor Tribulation.
Usually, the more types of lightning there are, the more of a Prodigy the person undergoing the tribulation is.
For such an existence, if they survive the Quasi-Emperor Tribulation, they will naturally be much stronger than an ordinary Quasi-Emperor.
One part effort, one part reward.
The more of a Prodigy one is, the harder it is to undergo the tribulation, but once they survive, they far surpass others.
And right now, as everyone looked on, the types of Lightning Tribulation were so numerous that they could dazzle one's eyes.
This was simply a gathering of elites.
And the commotion over at Zhenmo Pass was also transmitted to the Hengluo Battlefield.
After all, this Heavenly Tribulation was too vast; even from an extremely far distance, one could still feel that heart-palpitating fluctuation.
"That is... the aura of a Quasi-Emperor Tribulation, coming from Zhenmo Pass!"
"Is it that Yun Xiao? He previously underwent the Physical Body Quasi-Emperor Tribulation; is he really about to break through to the Quasi-Emperor Realm now?"
"Hiss, I don't know what his situation is exactly; has his Sacred Body Dao Fetus Form recovered?"
On this side, the experts from various forces, sensing the movement from Zhenmo Pass, all showed different expressions.
"Xiaoyao..."
On the Calamity Clan's side, Master Ying Luo's gaze also looked obscurely toward Zhenmo Pass.
Deep in her eyes, there was a trace of deep concern.
Zhenmo Pass.
The sky full of tribulation clouds obscured the sun, moon, and stars.
That pressure made everyone on the periphery unable to help but retreat a little.
If one were caught in this kind of Lightning Tribulation, there was an eighty percent chance they would lose their lives.
And while waiting like this.
Accompanied by a thunderous explosion!
In the sky full of tribulation clouds, the vast lightning turned into an endless sea of thunder, pouring down like an ocean.
And just at this moment, deep within the place of seclusion.
A figure also rose into the air, stepping into the firmament, emitting an incomparably terrifying aura.
It was none other than Jun Xiaoyao!
