Chapter 422

Breakthrough to the Second Wheel of the Ultimate Emperor Realm

"I've broken through?"

Hu Wuying's face was filled with shock as he felt the surging energy in his body.

"Brother Zhuo, it's all because of you that I, Hu Wuying, am able to achieve what I have today!

In the future, Brother Zhuo, if you have any requests, I, Hu Wuying, will do anything for you! "

Hu Wuying suddenly knelt on one knee before Zhuo with a solemn expression. He knew that with his talent, it would've been impossible for him to reach the half-step Ultimate Emperor Realm without at least a few years. However, with Zhuo's help, that time had been shortened countless times. This debt of gratitude was too great!

"Brother Hu, there's no need to be so courteous!

Since we're all members of Vine Armor City, we naturally have to help each other. Besides, I'm now the controller of the Sandstone Island. Purifying the Yuan Qi is as easy as lifting a finger. You've reached the half-step Ultimate Emperor Realm because of yourselves, "Zhuo said with a faint smile as he waved his right hand and poured out Yuan Qi to stabilize Hu Wuying's body.

In reality, Zhuo had benefited a lot more than Gu Xin and Hu Wuying in the past month. In the process of purifying the Yuan Qi, Zhuo had discovered that the Yuan Qi on the Sandstone Island contained an extremely strange energy. This energy could actually increase the vitality of the purple and black heart in the right side of his chest, making it even stronger!

Zhuo's current recovery ability was probably fifty percent stronger than it had been a month ago. Even if there was a large hole in his chest, he could completely recover in a few breaths of time.

"Both of you have reached the half-step Ultimate Emperor Realm. With the addition of the Left and Right Combination Secret Technique, your strength will increase to an extremely terrifying level. I'm afraid that even an Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivator won't be able to easily defeat the two of you if you work together," Zhuo nodded, clearly satisfied with their strength.

"Now, the two of us will no longer be a burden to Brother Zhuo!" Gu Xin and Hu Wuying looked at each other and smiled.

Zhuowen nodded. Now, Gu Xin and Hu Wuying's strength was indeed helpful to him, but it was still far from enough. After all, he might have to face the geniuses from the super cities, and the strength and background of those geniuses were not any weaker than Nine Dragons City. Therefore, their current lineup was far from enough.

Thinking of this, Zhuowen took out a palm-sized transparent ball from his Qiankun bag. This transparent ball was the elemental energy ball that Zhuowen had obtained from the training grounds. Since a month ago, Zhuowen had been refining the pure elemental energy within the elemental energy ball while refining his elemental energy.

It had to be said that the elemental energy within the elemental energy ball had exceeded Zhuowen's expectations. An endless stream of elemental energy entered his body and directly transformed into the energy of the world. After an entire month of absorption, Zhuowen had finally absorbed almost all of the pure elemental energy within the elemental energy ball.

At this moment, the elemental energy ball was as sparkling and translucent as a glass ball, with only a small amount of milky white mist surging within. This was a sign that the elemental energy ball was about to dry up.

"The elemental energy ball has been completely used up. I'm afraid it's time for a breakthrough!" Zhuowen muttered softly as he lowered his head to look at the elemental energy ball in his hand.

Gu Xin and Hu Wuying's pupils shrank when they heard this. Gu Xin stuttered, "Brother Zhuo, you're about to break through to the Ultimate Emperor Realm?"

They still remembered that Zhuowen had only advanced to the Ultimate Emperor Realm a little over a month ago. Was he about to break through again in such a short time?

Wasn't this a little too fast?

Zhuowen nodded slightly. Back then, he'd stayed at the half-step Ultimate Emperor Realm for an extremely long time. It could be said that he'd accumulated a lot of energy before breaking through to the Ultimate Emperor Realm. He'd directly reached the peak of the Ultimate Emperor Realm in one go.

Moreover, he had a supreme treasure like the elemental energy ball in his hand. The surging and pure elemental energy within the elemental energy ball was comparable to several years of cultivation for an ordinary cultivator. After absorbing the elemental energy within the elemental energy ball, the energy within Zhuowen's body had almost reached its peak. It was only logical that he would break through to the Ultimate Emperor Realm!

"Mm!

I can sense that my second tribulation of the heavens and the earth is about to arrive. So long as I overcome the second tribulation of the heavens and the earth, I'll be able to smoothly break through to the second wheel of the Ultimate Emperor Realm! "

Once a cultivator reached the Ultimate Emperor Realm, they would be plagued with calamities. This was especially true for the Ultimate Emperor Realm. Every time a cultivator advanced a minor realm, the heavens and earth would send down a heavenly tribulation. From the first to the ninth heavenly tribulation, the cultivator's strength would increase exponentially. Therefore, the gap between each heavenly tribulation was extremely large. This was also one of the reasons why Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivators advanced so slowly!

After receiving Zhuowen's confirmation, Gu Xin and Hu Wuying's hearts trembled. A trace of a bitter smile immediately appeared on their faces. Seeing Zhuowen's monstrous improvement, the joy they'd felt when they'd just broken through to the half-step Ultimate Emperor Realm instantly faded.

"Brother Zhuo, the second heavenly tribulation is probably even more terrifying than the first. You must be careful!

We'll protect you! "Gu Xin and Hu Wuying immediately said solemnly.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!

As for protecting you, you don't have to. The heavenly tribulation isn't something you can resist. If you're not careful, you might die! "Zhuowen shook his head. He patted his Qiankun Bag with his right hand, and a sturdy figure appeared beside him.

"This is … a puppet?" Gu Xin asked doubtfully when he saw the middle-aged Spirit Reverse Puppet.

"This is a Spirit Reverse Puppet. Its strength is comparable to a First Wheel Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivator. Its body is so tough that even a Second Wheel Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivator might not be able to break through it. With the Spirit Reverse Puppet by my side, you don't have to worry!

In order to prevent the heavenly tribulation from affecting you, I think you should leave the Parthenon Temple. I'm about to undergo my tribulation! "Zhuowen said seriously after casually introducing the Spirit Reverse Puppet.

Gu Xin and Hu Wuying smiled bitterly and shook their heads when they heard that the big guy in front of them was comparable to a First Wheel Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivator. After reaching the Half-Step Ultimate Emperor Realm, they once again discovered that the gap between them and Zhuowen hadn't narrowed at all. Instead, it was widening. Even a random puppet that he had created was so much stronger than the two of them.

Gu Xin and Hu Wuying cupped their fists and left the Sacred Hall. Zhuowen was the only one left in the spacious Sacred Hall!

"A Second Wheel Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivator!

Once I reach the Second Wheel Ultimate Emperor Realm, I won't have to fear Lv Yongsheng anymore. Although I'm still no match for Lv Yongsheng, I should be able to escape unscathed from him! "

Zhuowen sat down on the ground and closed his eyes. At the same time, a powerful aura surged out of his body. It was like a dam had burst, filling the entire Sacred Hall!

At this moment, terrifying dark clouds began to gather in the sky above the Sacred City. It was as if a wild beast was standing in the sky, blotting out the sun. In an instant, the Sacred City, which was originally bright and sunny, became dim and dark!

"What's going on?

Why did the sky suddenly turn dark? "

"Look, there are so many dark clouds above the Sacred City!

How strange, our Sandstone Island has a hot climate, and it rarely rains. We've never had such strange weather in thousands of years!

What's going on? "

"… …"

Inside the Sacred City, countless members of the Lost Tribe raised their heads and looked at the gray clouds in the sky. Their hearts were filled with confusion and fear.

"What's going on?"

Saintess Alice, Atos, and the others who were gathered outside the Parthenon Temple were confused too!

BANG!

A red lightning bolt as thick as a bucket descended from the dark clouds and struck the top of the Parthenon Temple. Atos, Alice, and the others were shocked to see the enormous Parthenon Temple tremble violently under the effect of the red lightning.

BANG!

The magnificent Parthenon Temple suddenly collapsed. Countless rocks fell from the surface of the temple. The place where the temple stood was instantly turned into ruins. Dust filled the air and obscured everyone's vision!

"The Parthenon Temple has been destroyed. This … this …" Alice seemed to have lost her soul when she saw the ruins of the Parthenon Temple.

BANG!

Another bolt of lightning that was even more powerful shot down from the depths of the dark clouds and struck the ruins. It actually created a huge pit in the ruins. The aftershock of the lightning spread out, immediately forcing Atos and the others to take over a dozen steps back involuntarily.

"Such a powerful lightning bolt!

Just a single lightning bolt was enough to destroy the temple. How terrifying! "

Atos' eyes widened. He stared at the ruins of the temple in astonishment. He might be a Golden Warrior, and his flesh was incredibly tough, but he would have died for sure if he had been struck by the lightning bolt!

"Nice!

Again, what's the point of a single lightning bolt? Let's have a few more! "

A clear voice whizzed out from the depths of the ruins. Soon after, Atos's pupils shrank because he saw a black-haired, black-eyed young man with a blood-colored spear on his back slowly walk out from the ruins. The young man's feet suddenly stomped on the ground, and he directly floated in the air. He raised his head slightly, and his face was filled with arrogance.

"Is that Zhuowen?

Under the bombardment of the lightning just now, this guy actually looked like nothing had happened. The strength of his physical body is a bit too abnormal! "Atos was a little dumbfounded as he looked at the unscathed youth in the sky.

For the first time, he felt how powerful the power contained in the body of this seemingly thin and weak youth was!

BANG BANG!

At the same time, in the black dragon-like dark clouds high up in the sky, countless bolts of lightning were like pythons, twisting and turning within the dark clouds. It looked extremely terrifying. With two loud claps of thunder, another two bolts of lightning as thick as buckets came crashing down, directly striking Zhuo Wen's body!

In the distance, Zhuo Wen made a grabbing motion in the air with his right hand and actually grabbed the two extremely frightening lightning bolts with his bare hands. He even casually waved them around in his palm as if they were toys. Soon after, he clenched his fist and directly annihilated the two lightning bolts.

"This … this guy caught the lightning with his bare hands and acted like nothing happened. He's even playing with them as if they were toys. What kind of freak is this guy?!

Even a Legendary Warrior wouldn't be able to catch lightning with his bare hands like this guy, right? "Atos muttered to himself as his lips trembled. He looked as if he had seen a ghost.
