"Liuyun is planning to pass through the tribulation in the Illusion God Realm? Has she gone mad? No one has ever successfully passed the tribulation in the Illusion God Realm. How can she dare to?" Someone exclaimed in shock.

"Probably driven to madness, right? But where's that man? Why hasn't he appeared? Is he already dead?" someone maliciously speculated with a regretful expression.

"What on earth happened? Why is Zhuge Changping, the son of the Zhuge Family, suddenly searching frenetically for Liuyun and that man?" Someone who had accepted the bounty task was still confused about what exactly had occurred.

"Isn't that obvious? Clearly Zhuge Changping has taken a fancy to Princess Liuyun of Lingdan Hall, but it's a case of unrequited love, with Fairy Liuyun being interested in another man. So in a fit of anger, Zhuge Changping issued a death edict..."

"The situation may not be that simple, I have a feeling something's off here! After all, Lingdan Hall is not to be underestimated... Zhuge Changping is indeed a member of the Zhuge Family, but when it comes to status, he's at most on par with Princess Liuyun. How dare he do such a thing all by himself?"

A voice in the crowd said, "Lingdan Hall's reaction was rather intense, they've even pointed their spears at us who accepted the task... This seems more like a strategic play between Lingdan Hall and the Zhuge Family."

Someone scoffed, "The law doesn't punish numerous offenders. Lingdan Hall might be powerful, but can they really kill all of us?"

"They don't need to kill. All they have to do is stop selling us elixir." Someone said in a low voice.

Someone in the crowd coldly laughed, "Joke, Lingdan Hall isn't the only place to buy elixir in the world. The elixirs of the Zhuge Family have been excellent in recent years, and they produce a large quantity of high-quality elixir. What's more, their price is half that of Lingdan Hall..."

Various discussions rippled through the crowd, with many agents of the Zhuge Family among them, constantly denigrating Lingdan Hall while praising the Zhuge Family.

In fact, discerning eyes knew that though the Zhuge Family was not weak, their alchemical skills stood no chance against Lingdan Hall.

Although Lingdan Hall seemed to have declined in recent years, their foundation remains unmatched as the world's largest producer and dealer of elixirs.

But in circumstances like these, obviously, no one would speak up for Lingdan Hall, because to some extent, everyone present at the edge of the Illusion God Lake was Lingdan Hall's enemy, already on their blacklist.

Therefore, upon looking at the celestial fairy floating in the sky, everyone's faces were filled with complex expressions.

Deep down, they did not wish for a woman of such extraordinary beauty and talent to fall before them; but realistically, they had no choice but to hope for Liuyun's failure in passing the tribulation.

Because once Liuyun fails, it would be a heavy blow to Lingdan Hall, adding insult to injury.

Boom!

A bolt of lightning, as expected, struck the silhouette in the sky.

Even though they were mentally prepared, the crowd at the edge of the Illusion God Lake couldn't help but let out an uncontrollable gasp of surprise.

The majority of those present were from the Heavenly Realm, and only a handful dared to face the tribulation during the ascension phase.

They either clung to a stroke of luck, believing that they could still achieve high ranking even if they did not pass the tribulation during the ascension phase, or they were not too optimistic about the future... After all, there's a limit to human effort, not everyone can reach the Supreme Realm.

So when they see the actual Heavenly Tribulation occurring, the shock, the fear and tremor induced by destruction, was completely uncontrollable.

Many people couldn't help but retreat further away.

Boom!

A strong dharma instrument was directly shattered by the bolt of lightning.

The intense vibrations emitted when the dharma instrument was shattered caused the expressions on the faces of many cultivators who had retreated far to change dramatically. Feeling suffocated, these people retreat in horror even further.

Crack!

Another bolt of lightning struck directly towards the figure in the sky.

Boom!

Another dharma instrument was vanquished into dust!

"Liuyun is finished!"

"She's doomed!"

"As Princess of Lingdan Hall, the dharma instruments on her must be extraordinarily powerful. However, they're still incapable of resisting the power of the Heavenly Tribulation!"

Shouts of astonishment kept coming from the continually retreating crowd. Looking at the terrifying power of the Heavenly Tribulation, almost everyone was terrified. No one was optimistic about Liuyun's future, believing her to be doomed.

The developments that followed seemed to confirm their speculation.

The formidable dharma instruments protecting Liuyun's body were shattered one by one by the thunderbolts of the Heavenly Tribulation in an unrushed manner.

In the end, only Liuyun was left, standing alone between Heaven and Earth.

Liuyun's face did not show any fear, not because she was not afraid of death, but because fear was futile at this point!

When the first dharma instrument was shattered, Liuyun was extremely nervous, her heart all the way in her throat. But when the last dharma instrument was shattered, Liuyun was completely calm.

Her life had taken a haphazard turn, which seemed calm on the surface, but she was unable to accept it deep down. In that case… If she could die under the thunderbolts of the Heavenly Tribulation... it seemed like a form of liberation?

Liuyun thought about it; a faint smile appeared on the corners of her mouth.

That smile was extraordinarily beautiful!

Those in the distance who saw it couldn't help but exclaim one after another.

"My God, at a time like this, Fairy Liuyun is actually smiling..."

"Her smile is so beautiful..."

"Is it because she has prepared to face death?"

Liuyun tilted her head up slightly, her stunningly beautiful face calm as she thought to herself: "Come on... Let this Heavenly Tribulation cleanse all the shame on me!"

Crack!

A giant bolt of lightning struck Liuyun directly!

"No!" From a far distance, a roar of rage suddenly resounded.

This roar formed an incredibly terrifying wave of sound attack, and the energy it emitted advanced level by level, as if it carried the power to destroy heaven and earth, distorting the void to an unbearable degree.

Some people with weaker strength were instantly killed, their bodies crushed by the roar, dying instantly in sheer terror and bewilderment!

Those who survived didn't fare much better either. They spat out blood one by one, their faces showing an unprecedented level of horror. They all fled in all directions.

A lot of people, while fleeing, were killed by the echoing roar, dropping from the sky, much like dumplings in a pot.

A massive crowd bustling with people was killed by more than half just by this sudden roar!
