Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

A sphere of white light also appeared, slightly weaker than the red light, but not by much.

The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox's somber voice followed, "I am also unsure of what has happened. It is beyond my control."

"You don't know what happened? Look at your Heavenly Fox Holy Mountain," the voice within the red light grew more irate.

The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox certainly felt the changes in the Heavenly Fox Holy Mountain, as it was his territory.

"Heavenly Tribulation, this is a Heavenly Tribulation," a voice emanated from within a cluster of deep blue light, tinged with surprise and disbelief.

"Heavenly Tribulation? What kind of Heavenly Tribulation is this? How could such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation appear?" The voice from the red sphere of light was that of the strongest in the Rihchen Empire, the First Emperor from the Spirit Monster Clan lineage, the Tiangang-born, Tianyang Spirit King. Even this member of the Four-Heaven Kings was filled with incomprehension.

The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox said solemnly, "No matter what, we must resolve this Heavenly Tribulation first. Let us join forces and disperse the tribulation clouds."

"Come on!"

Although the relationship between the Monster Clan and the Spirit Monster Clan was delicate, when it came to major issues, they always stood united.

For a moment, intense beams of light shot up into the sky, like Sky Pillars supporting heaven, charging towards the massive tribulation clouds above.

The enormous tribulation clouds in the sky suddenly trembled, and in an instant, the sky became bright, piercing the thick black clouds with massive holes almost in the next moment.

The combined effort of over a dozen Emperors was immensely powerful. Even though the tribulation clouds were unprecedentedly vast, they were nonetheless dispersed instantly.

Yet, the faces of every Emperor were extremely grim as they felt the terrifying power within the tribulation clouds while using their own strength to assault it. That was energy powerful enough to obliterate one's essence! Even though the tribulation clouds were dispersed by them, the essence of each one's divine consciousness and bloodline energy had been noticeably weakened.

This was not an energy that could recover quickly, but rather the divine consciousness and bloodline accumulated over countless years of cultivation. A single layer's obliteration had nearly caused all the Emperors to suffer in their cultivation base. Although they were only weakened by one percent, even one percent was tremendously significant given their extensive foundation. Explore more at My Virtual Library Empire

Within those spheres of light, each Emperor revealed their true forms, their gazes almost all converging in the direction of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox. They naturally all saw that this terrifying Heavenly Tribulation had ensued because of his Heavenly Fox Holy Mountain!

The Tianyang Spirit King said in a deep voice, "Heavenly Fox, you owe everyone an explanation. What exactly is going on?"

The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox's brows were furrowed as he responded solemnly, "What if I say, I also don't know what is happening, would you believe me?"

The Earth Yin Spirit Emperor said coldly, "If you don't know, then quickly find out…" She was one of the rare females among the Emperors, and had only spoken to this point when suddenly sensing something, she subconsciously lifted her head to look toward the sky, her eyes filling with even more seriousness.

It wasn't just her; the other Emperors felt it too because the sky had darkened once again. Even more ominous than before, the dreadful oppressive force made the released energy of all the Emperors involuntarily shine brighter, for they needed to unleash even more power to counter it.

"Where did this lightning tribulation come from?" the Undying Great Demon Emperor asked, standing beside the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, unable to contain his curiosity.

The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox turned his head to glance at him, then refocused his gaze on the direction of his Heavenly Fox Holy Mountain. At this moment, his heart was filled with shock as well as confusion. Below the Heavenly Fox Holy Mountain, that was...

"Boom!" Thunder roared in the sky, with terrifying purple lightning zigzagging across it. In the next instant, a massive bolt of lightning had fallen from the sky, violently striking the protective barrier erected by the emperors.

Immediately, the entire barrier violently shuddered. All the emperors present were shaken, their faces betraying their horror. This apocalyptic power, if it were to strike the Ancestral Court, might very well destroy the whole place!

"I'll go check on the situation," declared the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, not daring to delay, and leaving behind these words, he transformed into a beam of white light, speeding towards his own Heavenly Fox Holy Mountain.

In the air, a pure white ethereal silhouette emerged behind him; it was the form of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, its nine gigantic tails swaying in the sky, emitting circles of milky-white halos. These circles of light extended directly towards the Heavenly Fox Holy Mountain, covering and concealing the energy of the Holy Mountain and its surroundings.

After observing for a short while, the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox had calmed down. His perception was the clearest; there was no doubt that the terrifying clouds in the sky were attracted by the Heavenly Fox Holy Mountain, more precisely, by the golden light that emanated from beneath it. He indeed did not know what kind of power could have drawn such a terrifying lightning tribulation, but one thing was clear to him, and that was what was suppressed underneath the Heavenly Fox Holy Mountain.

There, what was suppressed was none other than the plane of Hell's Garden! His first thought was, could it be that the negative forces contained within Hell's Garden had not been properly satiated? Was the life force injected into it insufficient, causing unrest to arise?

However, he quickly dismissed this idea because within Hell's Garden was the Heavenly Flower, which represented the very essence of his and the Demon Monster Land's luck – something not so easily disturbed. Thus, the power that had drawn the lightning tribulation must be from an external source, but it was indeed unprecedented.

When the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox arrived at the peak of the Heavenly Fox Holy Mountain, the nine fox tails already blocked out the sky like a canopy, controlling the energy of the entire area and forcibly shielding the influence of the golden light from below.

Sure enough, the clouds of tribulation in the sky seemed somewhat at a loss, appearing to soften somewhat and without lightning continuing to fall down. This indirectly proved that the lightning tribulation came because something was amiss under the Heavenly Fox Holy Mountain of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox.

As emperors, whether they were Demon Emperors or Heavenly Spirit Emperors, most were aware that the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox suppressed the luck for the Demon Monster Land, with the Ancestral Court at its center. That's why they could reap many benefits here, and this was why the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox held such a high status within the Ancestral Court.

But at this moment, the sudden emergence of this situation was something none of them could have imagined. That the Heavenly Fox Holy Mountain would encounter troubles, and the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, controller of fate, had no prior warning?

The only one who felt something was amiss was the White Tiger Great Demon Emperor.

The White Tiger Great Demon Emperor's heart was filled with an odd sensation. Could it be? Was this the work of that youngster?

Only he knew that Tang San had come to the Ancestral Court alongside Pretty Girl. However, during Pretty Girl's presentation, or rather after entering the Ancestral Court, they had separated. He had no doubts that the youngster would give his all to help his granddaughter through her tribulation. But where was he now?

He had vanished two days ago, without a trace. The White Tiger Great Demon Emperor had not paid it much mind. In his heart, he also didn't believe that a youngster, who wasn't even of God Rank, could cause any stir during Pretty Girl's presentation to the Ancestral Court Council.

Yet he could see how much Pretty Girl relied on Tang San. Her performance today during the presentation was nothing short of dazzling. Many abilities, including her foundation and even defeating the Great Demon King Level Undying Fire Phoenix, had even garnered the support of many emperors – for someone like him who knew Pretty Girl's origins and capabilities, his heart was filled with questions. She couldn't possibly have reached such a level on her own! So, could it be related to that youngster? Had he come to the Ancestral Court in advance to set something up?
