Chapter 285

Among the five major races of the Kunlun Continent, the South Mountains Demon Race was publicly recognized as the most united race.

They had occupied the South Mountains for a long time, and even humans did not dare to offend them.

The Demon King, Sun Jinming, was a well-known figure among the younger generation of the South Mountains Demon Race and had a high rallying power.

At this moment, he was angry, and all the demons in Azure Province came after hearing the news. Some of them were also ridiculously powerful.

Countless cultivators did not expect so many huge demonic beasts to gather here. Feeling the majestic demonic aura, everyone's expression changed.

If they were not careful, today's matter would become a war between the Middle Continent and the South Mountains!

Be it the Demon King or his subordinates, all of them had the bloodline of a great demon. Behind them stood an entire race!

Therefore, even if the humans were outnumbered and the leaders of various factions were present, no one dared to act rashly.

"Where did that white ape come from? That Sun Jinming is willing to offend all the major factions for it!"

Yao Yufei, whose plan had failed, retreated with an extremely unsightly expression.

The Crown Prince, Ji Zefang, reacted at this moment. His expression was vexed.

He hurriedly said, "Everyone, don't disturb others' tribulation. Let's all retreat five kilometers away."

He came to Azure Province this time for this Chen Gu. Now that he had seen him attract the lightning tribulation, he naturally did not want to offend him.

He had been careless and failed to control the situation, which led to the conflict.

The Crown Prince represented the royal family. Since he had already said so, how could ordinary people not give him face?

In addition to the Demon King's overbearing attitude, all the cultivators nodded and began to retreat.

Yao Yufei's expression was filled with unwillingness. As a member of the Underworld God Palace, she realized that once this person successfully broke through, he would become a great enemy of the Underworld God Palace and should be eliminated as soon as possible.

However, the opportunity to make a move was fleeting, and it was too late now. She could only retreat in frustration!

Seeing the surrounding cultivators all retreating, the Demon King's expression eased a lot.

He actually did not want to fight. After all, there were many leaders of the various Holy Lands and Sage Sects, and some of them had reached the Heaven Tier.

"Little guy, that kid is safe now. You can rest assured."

Sun Jinming turned around and said to White Ape. White Ape's companions transformed from their original forms into their human forms, and their expressions relaxed.

White Ape let out two soft roars, but he did not relax. He silently walked to a place that was closer to Gu Chen. His eyes were filled with vigilance as he stared in all directions.

"Boss, the relationship between it and that human is way too deep. Does it belong to our Southern Mountains?"

The Flood Dragon Person frowned. The Southern Mountains Demon Race had never produced such a demon beast.

"Its origin is very special. Don't ask too much. Continue to guard the surroundings to prevent any accidents."

Sun Jinming shook his head. The demons did as they were told, while he sat on top of a mountain and looked at Gu Chen, who was undergoing his tribulation in the sky.

"This kid really has some ability. He can even attract the lightning tribulation, and it looks like he's doing it with ease. I really want to fight with him, but that little guy will definitely be unhappy, ai! "

Helplessness was written all over Sun Jinming's face. Ever since this year's Fengyun Grand Gathering, this was the first time he had an opponent he wanted to fight.

All the cultivators retreated to a distance of ten miles away and were discussing about Gu Chen's tribulation.

"This is the second Huangfu Qingming. He can attract the heaven's jealousy lightning tribulation. It seems like the imperial court's judgment is right. He deserves the imperial reward."

"It's a pity for this kid. If he wasn't a member of the Celestial Court, we must think of a way to recruit him into our sect."

All sorts of discussions filled the mountains. After wave after wave of lightning tribulation, it gradually eased up.

Gu Chen was within it. His eyes were tightly shut as lightning flowed around his body. He was like a god that had descended to the mortal world, constantly attracting the attention of everyone present.

"Teacher, I once heard that the more astonishing the phenomenon during tribulation, the more talented the person is. How does this scene of Chen Gu's tribulation compare to Huangfu Qingming's tribulation four years ago?"

Seeing that the lightning tribulation was about to end, the Crown Prince asked Shen Xudong curiously.

Four years ago, Huangfu Qingming's tribulation had shaken the entire Nine Prefectures.

It was a pity that he wasn't there at that time and missed the moment when a prodigy became famous.

It was because the heaven's jealousy lightning tribulation was too rare. The last person to undergo tribulation in the two academies was Huangfu Qingming. At this moment, everyone was also very curious about this.

State Preceptor Shen was knowledgeable. His answer was the most authoritative. The big shots of the various forces, the teachers and students of the two academies were all listening attentively.

Shen Xudong frowned. He looked at the gradually weakening lightning tribulation and looked around before speaking.

"In history, every time a prodigy made a breakthrough and attracted the heaven's jealousy lightning tribulation, it would often be accompanied by more than one kind of phenomenon.

"For example, the King of Weapons Jiang Baiming eight hundred years ago. He was a publicly recognized genius. It was rumored that when he underwent tribulation, not only did lightning tribulation descend, but golden lotuses also appeared within a radius of a hundred miles. The phenomenon didn't dissipate for three days.

"Fifty years ago, when the God of War Huangfu Wuji broke through, a pair of strange red eyes appeared in the sky. It overlooked the entire Ji Prefecture, causing countless people to kneel and worship it.

"As for Huangfu Qingming four years ago, when he stepped into the realm of immortality, there was also a seven-colored glow in the sky. It was winter then, but everything within a radius of a hundred miles was revived, and the withered trees all welcomed spring."

Everyone listened in amazement. It was an eye-opening experience.

"In that case, apart from the lightning tribulation, Chen Gu didn't seem to have any other phenomenon?"

Everyone looked around. Apart from the land that was ravaged by the lightning tribulation, there was nothing unusual.

"The three people that the Old Man mentioned, apart from the lightning tribulation, were all accompanied by the phenomenon of heaven and earth. However, Chen Gu didn't. In terms of talent, he should be slightly inferior to the three of them."

Shen Xudong concluded. Everyone nodded.

They were said to be slightly inferior, but of the three people he mentioned, one was the most talented weapon refiner in history, and the legend of the Armament Armory he left behind was still circulating in the continent. The other two were the two heroes of the Huangfu Clan, and their reputations were needless to say.

Even if they were slightly inferior, in the eyes of everyone, they had already surpassed the vast majority of the so-called geniuses.

"Inferior to Huangfu Qingming?"

The Crown Prince muttered to himself, and he was slightly regretful.

"Ah, the lightning tribulation has ended!" Someone suddenly said.

Along with the last bolt of lightning striking down, the lightning tribulation at the place where Gu Chen was in the distance finally dissipated, and the dark clouds in the sky started to disperse.

In the blink of an eye, the sky had cleared up, and the sunlight shone down onto the ground and sprinkled onto everyone, causing them to feel warm.

The cultivators that covered the mountains and plains couldn't help but raise their heads to look at the sky, and with this look, their expressions froze.

At this moment, the dark clouds had dispersed, and the scorching sun was already high up in the sky. The sky was jade green, but the azure blue sky was actually filled with specks of stars!

In broad daylight, countless stars adorned the sky, and they were competing with the blazing sun!

They were obviously basking in the sunlight, but at this moment, all the cultivators felt a chill attack their bodies, and they shivered.

The appearance of the stars in broad daylight was an unprecedented spectacle!
