Peerless War God

"Sister Yueyao, then you guys stay here and wait for the good news. I'll go closer and take a look."    

Yueyao nodded and did not stop him. She knew that Xiao Long's strength was already comparable to a cultivator who had just entered the Immortal Realm.    

If there was a chance to observe the Longevity Heavenly Tribulation at a close distance, it would be of great benefit to one's cultivation. Naturally, the closer, the better.    

"En, be careful."    

"Got it."    

Xiao Long hurriedly followed. How could he miss such a great opportunity?    

Behind him, when Qing Xuan saw this scene, she could only helplessly stomp her feet and watch from afar.    

As Chen Xiao and his group left the city, the tribulation clouds that were originally gathered in the sky above Violet Cloud City began to move slowly. It was quite a spectacular sight.    

For a moment, the cultivators in the city were also shocked.    

"Look, the tribulation clouds seem to be moving. What's going on?"    

"As expected, it's the Longevity Realm experts in the city who are transcending the tribulation. From the looks of it, they are going to transcend the tribulation outside the city to avoid implicating the city."    

"Let's go and follow them to take a look."    

"If you want to die, you can follow them. I'll just watch from afar."    

"This..."    

In the huge Violet Cloud City, the cultivators were all boiling with excitement. They all rushed into the air and opened their eyes wide as they stared at the tribulation clouds above their heads, as well as the vague figures of Chen Xiao and his group.    

It could be said that these people were all great figures that were rarely seen on normal days.    

Not long after, Chen Xiao and the others rushed out of the city for a distance of three thousand li and arrived at an open plain before stopping.    

The Duke of Zijin swept his gaze across the surroundings and confirmed that there were no abnormalities before saying, "This place is far enough, so it can be considered safe. Chen Xiao, what do you think?"    

Chen Xiao swept his gaze around and said, "Then let's do it here. Thank you for protecting me."    

"Mm, be careful." The Duke of Zijin nodded.    

"It's a small matter. You just need to focus on passing through the Immortal Realm." The Heavenly Star Sword Sovereign patted Chen Xiao's shoulder and said indifferently.    

"This matter will be left to us." Gu Changsheng said solemnly.    

"You brat is truly enviable. Sigh." The Yin Yang Master sighed and ridiculed.    

Once upon a time, he had also been glorious for a time, but now, the times had changed, and it was no longer the Divine Realm of the past.    

Sure enough, he was still old.    

The four of them did not say much and quickly spread out. They stood in four different directions and became on guard, in case anything happened.    

Seeing the four of them being so careful and protecting him, Chen Xiao was extremely touched.    

"Hehe, you can tell the difference between a rogue cultivator and a cultivator with power now, right?"    

In his sea of consciousness, Xi Luo said.    

Chen Xiao smiled and nodded. "Mm."    

At this time, Lil' Dragon stood in the distance, tens of li away, and sent a voice transmission to Chen Xiao. "Big Brother, you can do it."    

"Little Long, look carefully. Perhaps it can be of some help to you." Chen Xiao said in a deep voice.    

"Yes, Big Brother." Little Long said with a solemn expression.    

As they spoke, the tribulation clouds above their heads gathered more and more. However, their speed was much slower than Chen Xiao had imagined.    

Although it looked quite impressive, it was still within Chen Xiao's acceptable range and did not exceed common sense.    

Seeing this, Chen Xiao frowned and asked, "This tribulation cloud doesn't seem to be as powerful as I had imagined?"    

Xiluo chuckled and said, "That's because you hid your cultivation and even deliberately suppressed your aura. If you wanted the tribulation cloud to be faster, you could have released your aura and guided the tribulation cloud here."    

Chen Xiao's heart stirred, "So that's how it is. Then I'll give it a try."    

Thinking of this, he began to release his aura and no longer suppressed his own cultivation. Suddenly, a shocking aura rushed into the sky, shaking the surroundings, causing countless cultivators to be dumbstruck.    

"This is... such a shocking aura."    

"As expected of City Lord Chen Xiao. This kind of aura is a true Longevity Realm expert. Truly amazing."    

"Even if it's more than a thousand miles away, I can still feel the terrifying pressure. It's too powerful."    

When Marquis Zi Jin saw this, he was also shocked, "This is Chen Xiao's true strength. Interesting."    

"Kid, you really know how to hide. You deliberately suppress your aura at the critical moment. You're really too careful."    

The Heavenly Star Sword Sovereign's face was full of smiles as he shook his head and said.    

Gu Changsheng felt something in his heart, and a bitterness appeared on his face. "I never thought that in just a few hundred years, Chen Xiao would reach such a level. It seems that my choice back then was not wrong."    

Back then, the Sky River City had been broken through by the Black Sky Evil Cult, and at the critical moment, he had to sacrifice his own essence energy to survive. He had saved his life, but the price was that his cultivation path had been cut off, and he could not advance any further.    

After so many years, he had always wanted to repair the lost essence energy, but it was all in vain.    

On the path of cultivation, if one did not advance, one would regress. He could feel that his own strength was declining, but Chen Xiao's strength was advancing by leaps and bounds, causing him to sigh with emotion.    

Yin Yang Dao Sovereign shook his head and kept cursing, "This brat..."    

Just as Chen Xiao released his aura, the tribulation clouds above his head gathered together, as if they had come to life. The tribulation clouds boiled, and even the color began to change. It changed from dark clouds to silver-white, like a sea of lightning that was constantly boiling.    

A terrifying pressure came over, as if Mount Tai was crushing down, pressuring Chen Xiao to the point that he couldn't breathe. He had no choice but to rely on his own strength to resist the pressure of the tribulation clouds.    

Seeing this, Xiluo shouted, "Don't resist, release your resistance, and circulate the Lightning Art to withstand the power of the tribulation clouds."    

"What?"    

Chen Xiao was shocked when he heard this. He thought that he had misheard.    

"If you want to obtain great benefits, you must do this. Release your resistance, and use the tribulation clouds to temper your body. Not only will it not harm your body, it will instead help your strength rise to a higher level."    

Xiao Si said in a deep voice.    

Chen Xiao was silent for a moment. He looked at the murderous cloud and asked, "Are you serious?"    

"Yes," Xiao Si said indifferently, with a face full of reason, "This is the only way you can obtain the greatest benefits from the tribulation cloud. This is a rare opportunity to refine your body with the tribulation cloud."    

Hearing this, Chen Xiao exhaled a mouthful of turbid air and said in a deep voice, "Alright, I believe you."    

Immediately, he released all of his resisting magic power, withdrew the shield and the array flags around him, and prepared to use his body to take the attack of the tribulation cloud.    

Streaks of lightning flashed around his body, circulating bit by bit. With the five elements as the foundation, the Primordial Chaos Lightning Art revolved like flying, and his aura also rose steadily.    

Not far away, when Marquis Zi Jin saw this, he fiercely slapped his thigh and laughed loudly.    

"Good boy, you actually dare to use your body to test the technique. What courage, what bravery, what insight. You are worthy of being someone I have taken a fancy to. Excellent."    

The Heavenly Star Swordmaster's anxious heart tightened, and he said, "Boss Zi Jing, are you not worried at all and can still laugh? This is the Longevity Heavenly Tribulation, I'm afraid that it will be smashed to pieces in an instant."    

Marquis Zi Jin smiled slightly and said unhurriedly, "No rush, let's see first. If something goes wrong, we'll attack together and save him first."    

"Forget it, that's all I can do. This kid is too impulsive."    

The Heavenly Star Sword Master cursed. In his heart, he also admired Chen Xiao's bravery. At the very least, his courage was commendable.
