Chapter 55: Heavenly Dao Envoy, Brother of Huang

"Your Excellency... just what kind of divine being are you?" Xuedi could not help but ask, her tone carrying a trace of awe.

"Merely a person of no name."

"Since the Heavenly Tribulation has ended, farewell, everyone!"

Zhexian finished speaking and was about to turn and leave.

Just as Xuedi, Bingdi, and Tianmengge were about to try and make him stay, the sky changed drastically once more.

Zhexian's footsteps also stopped, and he looked up toward the place where the tribulation clouds had just been.

They saw the tribulation clouds in the sky churning again, even more violently than before, as if the entire heaven and earth were in a rage.

This time, the color of the tribulation clouds was no longer a common gray-black, but presented a deep red-black, emitting a pressure that made one's heart palpitate.

In the dark, there seemed to be a figure...

"Heavenly Dao?"

Zhexian's eyes looked calmly toward that figure.

The illusory Heavenly Dao Envoy, a special existence standing between heaven and earth.

That figure was illusory and ethereal, as if it had merged with heaven and earth, yet it carried an indescribable majesty.

Its face was blurred and unclear, with only a pair of deep eyes that seemed capable of piercing through everything and looking straight into the human heart. Its body was surrounded by countless chains of laws, each chain containing the will of the Heavenly Dao, as if it could descend with destructive punishment at any moment.

"I didn't expect this world to actually have the existence of a Heavenly Dao..." Zhexian muttered to himself, a faint smile flashing in his eyes.

However, Xuedi and Bingdi could not see the figure of the Heavenly Dao Envoy; they only felt that this Heavenly Tribulation was several times stronger than the one just before.

Both of them were stunned.

Had the Heavenly Tribulation not just passed?

Why was it not over yet?

Tianmengge was even more terrified, curling into a ball, his plump body trembling incessantly as he muttered, "It's over, it's over, this time it's really over! The power of this Heavenly Tribulation is far stronger than the last one."

"My Bing'er~"

However, Zhexian still stood where he was, his expression indifferent.

His gaze looked calmly toward the Heavenly Dao Envoy.

"You are not of this world." The Heavenly Dao Envoy's voice was cold and hollow, as if it came from above the nine heavens, carrying endless majesty.

Upon hearing this, Zhexian smiled faintly and said, "And if I am?"

"Trespassing into this world and disrupting the order of the Heavenly Dao, you shall be executed." The Heavenly Dao Envoy's voice remained cold, as if it were pronouncing Zhexian's fate.

Hearing this, a trace of faint disdain flashed in Zhexian's eyes. His hands slowly raised, and a purple law and a green law emerged in his palms respectively. The powers of destruction and life merged in his palms, transforming into a brilliant light.

"Heavenly Dao order? It is nothing more than shackles binding all living things." Zhexian spoke indifferently, his tone carrying a trace of disdain.

The Heavenly Dao Envoy's eyes narrowed slightly, seemingly surprised by Zhexian's attitude. However, it did not say much, merely slowly raising its hand, and a red-black law chain emerged in its palm.

Once that chain appeared, the entire heaven and earth trembled, as if even space were being torn apart. The chain headed straight for Zhexian, carrying endless pressure, swearing to bind him completely!

"Boom!"

And suddenly at this moment.

The sky shattered abruptly, and a deep void crack spanned the horizon, as if tearing heaven and earth into two halves.

Within the crack, a vast long river flowed slowly, the water presenting a deep, dark blue color, as if it contained endless power of time and space.

Above the long river, countless mysterious law runes flowed, each rune emitting a heart-palpitating pressure, as if containing the most primordial power between heaven and earth.

Just at this moment, an endless sigh came from the upper reaches of the long river. That sigh seemed to span endless time and space, carrying an indescribable vicissitude and majesty, instantly spreading throughout the entire heaven and earth.

"Sigh..."

As the sigh fell, the figure of the Heavenly Dao Envoy trembled violently, as if struck by an invisible force.

The law chains surrounding its body crumbled inch by inch, turning into countless fragments and dissipating between heaven and earth. Immediately after, the figure of the Heavenly Dao Envoy also began to become illusory, finally dissipating completely, as if it had never existed at all.

"Huang!" Zhexian shouted loudly!

He leaped, wanting to rush into the River of Time.

However, he had forgotten that he was no longer the Immortal King Giant he once was.

The crack closed slowly, and the River of Time also disappeared from sight.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

To be honest, the trio of Soul Beasts—Bingdi, Xuedi, and Tianmengge—had completely shattered their perceptions today.

Just what kind of terrifying existence...

Zhexian looked at the gradually closing void crack, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

His figure landed slowly, his robes fluttering in the wind, his expression still indifferent, but deep in his eyes, a trace of imperceptible loneliness was faintly revealed.

Seeing Zhexian silent, Tianmengge gathered his courage to approach and asked cautiously, "Great God, what does the 'Huang' you just shouted mean? It sounds like it's very powerful..."

Upon hearing this, Zhexian turned his head slightly, glanced at Tianmengge, and a faint smile curled the corner of his mouth. He spoke slowly, his tone carrying a trace of indescribable vicissitude: "Huang... is my younger brother."

"Younger brother?!" Tianmengge's eyes widened, his plump body trembling slightly, clearly shocked by this answer.

Bingdi and Xuedi were also stunned, their eyes filled with disbelief. Although they did not know what kind of existence "Huang" was, to be able to instantly disperse the tribulation clouds with a single sigh...

"Your younger brother... is he also an existence like you?" Xuedi could not help but ask, her tone carrying a trace of awe.

Upon hearing this, Zhexian smiled faintly and said, "He is stronger than me."

Once these words were spoken, monstrous waves surged in the hearts of Bingdi and Xuedi. Stronger than this person? Then what kind of terrifying existence was that?

【Destruction Nine Trials second trial completed, reward: Scepter of Destruction!】

【Life Nine Trials second trial completed, descending: Life Ancient Tree!】

Two voices rang out in Zhexian's mind.

Subsequently, two pillars of light fell from the sky, one purple and one green.

With the arrival of those two pillars of light, a faint smile flashed in Zhexian's eyes. He waved his hand, and the Scepter of Destruction and the Life Ancient Tree within the purple and green pillars were received into his palm.

The Scepter of Destruction was entirely purple-black, radiating endless power of destruction, as if it could easily tear apart heaven and earth; while the Ancient Tree of Life was a small, delicate green sapling, with a rich aura of life circulating between its branches and leaves, as if it contained endless vitality.

"It is quite a bit stronger than that Golden Trident." Zhexian whispered to himself, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

He looked up at Bingdi, Xuedi, and Tianmengge, and said indifferently: "Everyone, we shall meet again if fate allows."

Upon hearing this, although Bingdi and Xuedi felt reluctant to part, they dared not say anything more.

Tianmengge, however, leaned forward with a fawning expression, rubbing his plump claws together, and said with a grin: "Great God, why don't you take me with you! Although my, Tianmengge's, strength isn't much to speak of, I am quite an expert at running errands and doing chores!"
