Seeing Yang Zhen dart into the Tribulation Cloud, even the experienced and knowledgeable Nine Dragons Great Saint was stunned for a moment.

Moreover, Yang Zhen’s movement into it was incredibly fast and cool; with a swoosh, he was gone, causing the Nine Dragons Great Saint to want to rub his eyes.

Purple Sky Thunder Punishment, this was Purple Sky Thunder Punishment, a force that even Practitioners of the Saint Realm were reluctant to face.

Especially the blood qi within the Purple Sky Thunder Punishment, formed by heaven and earth, capable of destroying all things, even the Saint Gang of a Saint Realm Practitioner could hardly defend against a strand of this blood qi.

The Saint Gang of a Saint Realm Practitioner is the hallmark of those in the Saint Realm. Once one breaks through to the Saint Realm, not to mention the changes in heart and understanding of the profound principles of heaven and earth, if one can successfully cultivate Saint Gang, they can boldly stand up to other Practitioners of the Saint Realm.

Under the heavens, no one can truly understand what Saint Gang is. Just like the vital energy cultivated by Practitioners, Saint Gang is a special type of power unique to Practitioners of the Saint Realm, also known as Protective Energy, which can easily withstand the strongest attacks from those of the Saint Realm, securing an invincible position.

This is also why there are no Half-step Great Saints below the Saint Realm, because no matter how many Half-step Great Saints there are, they cannot kill a Practitioner of the Saint Realm, whereas a Practitioner of the Saint Realm can easily kill a Half-step Great Saint.

If they cannot even break through the Protective Energy, what hope is there of defeating a Saint?

It’s easy to imagine how powerful a form of Protective Energy the Saint Gang is.

Now, even the Saint Gang couldn’t fully withstand the Purple Sky Thunder Punishment, yet Yang Zhen just dove into it?

The Nine Dragons Great Saint watched dumbfounded as Yang Zhen disappeared into the Tribulation Cloud, his face full of incredulous expression.

Hum–!

A booming sound, and the Nine Dragons Great Saint vanished from the spot, reappearing before Lu Chenghui and others.

The group from Shangyuan Sect looked up with a mix of worry and excitement, particularly Lu Chenghui who paced back and forth with the most evident look of concern on his face.

Upon seeing the Nine Dragons Great Saint, Lu Chenghui immediately showed a respectful expression and bowed: “Old Lu Chenghui greets the Nine Dragons Saint,” he said with a salute.

The Nine Dragons Great Saint, seeing a hint of relief in the depths of Lu Chenghui’s eyes, gave a bitter smile and said, “You shouldn’t have too great hopes for me. My Taoist Body is not complete; under these circumstances, I’m of no help at all.”

At this, the Nine Dragons Great Saint glanced at Han Yan’er, who had a complicated look on her face, and explained, “That boy Yang Zhen is too impulsive. This kind of Purple Sky Thunder Cloud, even the Protective Energy of a Saint Realm Practitioner can’t fully shield against, and yet he just charged in. It’s practically no different from seeking death.”

Yang Zhen’s sudden action truly startled the Nine Dragons Great Saint, especially when he thought Yang Zhen might have had the intention to show off in front of him, charging into the Purple Sky Thunder Cloud that he himself couldn’t resist, thinking, with the Nine Dragons Great Saint at White Cloud Mountain, he surely wouldn’t stand by and watch him die, right?

If Yang Zhen indeed had such a thought… The Nine Dragons Great Saint’s face showed an absurd expression; if Yang Zhen truly harbored such an idea, then he was gravely mistaken. The Nine Dragons Great Saint could indeed offer no help at all, just as he had said, against this kind of Purple Sky Thunder Punishment.

What a joke, since the beginning of heaven and earth, as soon as the Saint Realm Practitioners first emerged, they likely attracted the attention of heaven and earth.

At this moment, if the Nine Dragons Great Saint had any connection to the thunder punishment or divine tribulation, the disturbance in heaven and earth would be much more severe than mere devastation–it might even result in another great catastrophe.

Just how terrifying would the heavenly punishment attracted by a Saint Realm Practitioner be?

No one dares to gamble!

After hearing what the Nine Dragons Great Saint said, both Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er’s faces turned exceedingly odd.

Yang Zhen… really could do something like this.

If it was as the Nine Dragons Great Saint said, hadn’t Yang Zhen gone too far?

“`
Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er both felt that this divine punishment seemed different, particularly Han Yan’er, who had just successfully refined the Chaos Qi in her body; she had a spine-chilling sensation–as if an irresistible, terrifying eye were watching her from the heavens. The oppression coming from the layers of clouds above made Han Yan’er almost act without thinking, as she wanted to abandon the trial of the Purple Sky Thunder Punishment.

The violent whirlwind roared and bellowed in mid-air. It wasn’t just the whole White Cloud Mountain that noticed, but the entire Nether State continent was aware of the terrifying thunder near White Cloud Mountain.

The sky transformed, with countless blood-red auras swirling in mid-air, resembling thunder dragons flying up and down, each movement suffused with pressure from the heavens.

The entire world seemed filled with a destructive force.

Countless people, no matter what they were doing, all stopped and looked towards White Cloud Mountain.

“My heavens, why is there such a terrifying heavenly phenomenon near White Cloud Mountain? Could it be that some powerful being is about to emerge near the Great Nether Dynasty?”

“I, for one, hope some powerful being does emerge. The people of the Great Nether Dynasty have been too arrogant. Without a powerful figure’s emergence, the Dynasty will continue its arrogance. I’ve heard that many disciples of the Great Nether Dynasty are now searching for White Cloud Mountain’s location. Once found, it’s easy to imagine what will become of White Cloud Mountain.”

“Hiss! Wasn’t there said to be a Saint Realm figure on White Cloud Mountain? Could it be that the Great Nether Dynasty doesn’t even respect figures of the Saint Realm?”

“A Saint Realm figure? Would a figure of the Saint Realm really intervene in a grudge between ordinary disciples? Where would that leave their dignity?”

“That’s true. Although Shangyuan Sect has escaped a disaster, they have completely offended the Great Nether Dynasty. What good days could they possibly have left? Quick, let’s go see what’s caused such a terrifying phenomenon. Hopefully, there’s a force capable of restraining the Great Nether Dynasty a bit.”

“Quickly, fellow Daoist, wait for me!”

…

Once again, countless people headed towards White Cloud Mountain. However, this time, their target was not the Shangyuan Sect but the raging thunderstorm in the sky.

From the direction of the Great Nether Dynasty, Valley Granny and the Great Elder had uncertain expressions on their faces. Frowning, the Great Elder remarked, “That direction, why is there such a terrifying heavenly phenomenon?”

“There aren’t any powerful forces there, and it couldn’t possibly be Shangyuan Sect causing it. Could it be the Nine Dragons Saint facing tribulation with such a fearsome thunder punishment?”

Hearing Valley Granny’s words, the Great Elder’s face suddenly revealed a hint of elation. Staring at the terrifying clouds over White Cloud Mountain with a gloomy expression, he said, “Valley Granny, can you feel what kind of heavenly tribulation this is? I have a premonition that even a Saint Realm figure might find this tribulation troublesome.”

Valley Granny’s face flickered with uncertainty. Staring at the raging clouds in mid-air, she closed her eyes. After what seemed like a long time, she suddenly opened them and burst into laughter, declaring, “The heavens are aiding us, truly helping us! If I am not mistaken, this divine punishment is the legendary Purple Sky Thunder Punishment.”

“What?” The Great Elder was visibly shaken, his face flashing with astonishment. He inquired incredulously, “The legendary Purple Sky Thunder Punishment that can even shatter Saint Gang? Can you feel the aura of purple blood?”

“That’s right, it’s purple blood. I can feel the aura of purple blood. The Nine Dragons Great Saint is in danger. Let’s go, quickly to Shangyuan Sect. If the Nine Dragons Great Saint has trouble defending himself against the Purple Sky Thunder Punishment, how can he protect Shangyuan Sect? Today is the best opportunity to destroy Shangyuan Sect, and to kill Yang Zhen at the best possible moment.”

Hearing Valley Granny’s words, the Great Elder was in no mood to delay. With a whoosh, he even left without calling others, darting in the direction of Shangyuan Sect.

“Yang Zhen, not only will I destroy your Shangyuan Sect today and reclaim my Great Sword, but I will also make you wish you were dead. Without the protection of a Saint Realm figure, Shangyuan Sect isn’t worth a fart in my eyes!”

The Great Elder burst out laughing, overfilled with victorious spirit, causing fellow practitioners along the way to exchange glances, their faces lighting up with joy. They followed behind the Great Elder and Valley Granny, rushing towards the direction of Shangyuan Sect.

Seeing the excitement on the Great Elder’s face, there was definitely a good show to watch.

With that thought, the crowd sped up even more gleefully.

If Yang Zhen knew that his tribulation had caused such a huge misunderstanding, he would surely be excited to dig a series of pits!

Numerous people thought it was the Nine Dragons Great Saint undergoing tribulation, but in fact, it was Yang Zhen. Oh boy, what a big misunderstanding!
