The reforged Daoist Ingress was choosing this moment to weather his empyrean supreme tribulation!
In his current state, it was like he’d been reborn or bestowed new life. Although he was an empyrean supreme in his past life, the reborn version of himself lost that cultivation level. If he wished to reach it again, he had to endure the tribulation for an empyrean supreme!
He differed from the Disordered Empyrean Supreme in that she’d borrowed her father’s skull. Since the skull had already passed its tribulation, she could bypass it.
The heavenly emperor was aware of Daoist Ingress’ ambitions. The latter’s greatest treasure had been his Qingping Sword, then the Sword Formation of Immortal Condemnation. The Qingping Sword was a divine item, but the formation was so renowned for its prowess that many overlooked the sword. It’d taken the Jade Record of Creation to destroy the sword.
Now the daoist wished to borrow the empyrean supreme tribulation to destroy the Sword Formation of Immortal Condemnation! Naturally, the Disordered Empyrean Supreme wouldn’t allow that to happen. It was already taxing enough fighting two opponents. Although she held the upper hand and could suppress them, she wouldn’t be able to kill them in any short period of time.
If an empyrean level Daoist Ingress was thrown into the mix, she would lose the fight.
Therefore, she decisively spun her spear around and stabbed it at Daoist Ingress.
Wholly unafraid, the lotus flower fully protected his body. The four enormous swords transformed into towering mountains that relinquished the power of wind, thunder, fire, and water. They did battle with the Disordered Empyrean Supreme on the basis of their own keenness.
Tribulation clouds gathered in the void, marking the impending arrival of the tribulation. Given Daoist Ingress’ current strength, surviving an empyrean supreme tribulation was a walk in the park.
Every corner of the chief worlds felt the telltale ripples of empyrean supreme tribulation. It was taking place near the tomb of the empyrean supreme! Legends had it that the tomb held an opportunity to ascend to that lofty level. But although matters of the tomb had concluded, no one who entered it had made it out alive.
Yet an empyrean supreme tribulation had descended at this time!
Everyone’s eyes focused in the direction of the tomb. The tribulation was so extensive and magnificent that even peak grand supremes couldn’t see clearly through the area. But the auras from the Disordered Empyrean Supreme, heavenly emperor, Wei Lie, and Daoist Ingress constantly swept the realm.
There was more than one empyrean supreme at the tomb!
The supremes and peak grand supremes who wanted to observe the proceedings immediately shrank back, withdrawing even their consciousnesses.
“We need to kill him before the tribulation arrives!” shouted one of the shamanic elders. “If not kill him, we need to injure him! You’re an empyrean supreme and he’s not. He can’t withstand a blow at your full strength!”
The Disordered Empyrean Supreme had only one chance to kill Daoist Ingress. Otherwise, she’d have to retreat once the tribulation descended. If she was caught within it, even a real empyrean supreme would be obliterated.
She understood this logic and so her attacks grew fiercer. Her black spear blurred into multiple images that melded into the void. The lotus flower circling around Daoist Ingress was beaten back by the images.
“We need to help him!” The heavenly emperor and Wei Lie flung themselves forward to break free from the confines of the shamanic ancestor’s skull.
However, how would the shamanic elders permit them to help? They called upon strength within the skull and summoned five figures in black robes that kept the two within the formation. The five figures were made of pure dark elements and shaped like the shamanic ancestor!
“So the shamanic ancestor cultivates the power of the five dark elements!” It was a very unpleasant revelation for the heavenly emperor. It was only now that he realized what the ancestor had left for his daughter.
The shamanic ancestor wasn’t an empyrean supreme, but his strength had reached that level and was incredibly formidable. The shamanic elders had summoned his five images so they could keep the heavenly emperor and Wei Lie inside their formation!
It was just a formation, and the shamanic ancestor’s skull had been sacrificed! The power within the formation was just the ancestor’s command of the dark elements. But it was sufficient enough for the shamanic elders to suppress two empyrean level powerhouses!
“Oh, the hell is this crap.” Lu Yun turned around and walked through a door. When he next reappeared, he was next to Daoist Ingress.
“Heh, so you came here to go to your death?” Busy attacking Daoist Ingress, the Disordered Empyrean Supreme hadn’t thought that the young man would appear of his own accord. Her primary goal was Lu Yun!
Nothing else mattered if she could obtain his hell dao. So what if Daoist Ingress became an empyrean supreme? If she had hell dao, she could complete her dao and become the strongest personage within this plane of existence.
She instantly abandoned Daoist Ingress and whirled around, beelining for Lu Yun. He chuckled and vanished, reappearing next to the tribulation clouds.
The Disordered Empyrean Supreme retreated out of range without second thought, arriving in front of the young man. She released the power of the five dark elements and formed a dark spatial power that sealed off the void.
“You can’t get away, Lu Yun,” she smiled with immense satisfaction.
The heavenly emperor and Wei Lie were trapped by the skull. Daoist Ingress was confined inside the tribulation clouds. No one protected Lu Yun now. She wasn’t the sort to waste time on empty chatter and grasped for Lu Yun the moment her form stabilized.
Boom!
Lu Yun exploded with overwhelming power the second the Disordered Empyrean Supreme’s hand neared him. Caught off guard, she flew backward.
“I wouldn’t be afraid of you even without Yun Yi’s backup plans.” He crossed his arms with a smile. “I have a deal with that fellow in the nothingness. He won’t let me die so easily since he wants what I have. Therefore, he gave me one usage of his strength.
“But just one,” Lu Yun thought for a bit. “If I need more than that, it means my treasure appears more than it actually is and there is no real value to it.

“I walk this path through the chief worlds to lure you out of hiding because I wanted to see if Yun Yi really did anticipate that you’d still be alive. And to see if she’d left enough contingencies against you. The other reason is that… I really do want to kill you.
“After all, being constantly drooled over by an empyrean supreme is not a comfortable feeling.” The power of “nothing” shimmered over Lu Yun’s body.
