Chapter 457: Grand and Mighty Momentum

Fusang Island Lord Xiao Jun saw this, his eyes narrowing suddenly. He turned his head to look at the Fusang Clan elders and said in a low voice: "Great Elder, Third Elder, please go and check it out."

He is the island lord; if he were to leave now, it would surely cause a commotion.

So he could only send others to investigate the situation.

Upon hearing this, the Great Elder and Third Elder immediately rose, performed a bow, then glanced at each other and headed toward the sea ahead.

At this moment, purple lightning flickered faintly within the dense black clouds, looking extremely terrifying.

Meanwhile, Xiao Jun also noticed many Fusang Islanders with low cultivation showing uncomfortable expressions, as if the powerful pressure made it hard for them to breathe.

He rose to his feet, stood on the high platform, quickly formed hand seals, and swiftly set up a defensive barrier in this area.

Keeping the pressure outside.

Everyone immediately felt much relieved, and they looked up at the distant sky.

"Is this a heavenly tribulation?!"

"Could someone be undergoing tribulation here?"

"Could that person be under the sea?"

"If that's really the case, then those currently participating in the Sea Hunt Event would be in great danger, wouldn't they?"

As they argued, the gathered black clouds grew more and more, the entire sea ahead fell into darkness, and crackling lightning flashed and boomed, sending chills down their spines.

Now the people from the various great clans seated in the stands all changed their faces; they had never seen such a grand and mighty heavenly tribulation!

"Island Lord, we probably need to recall all the participants." At that moment, a clan leader stood up, his face solemn, and spoke.

No sooner had his words fallen than several cries of alarm rang out.

"Look quickly!"

Following the sound, they saw a burst of unusually dazzling golden light explode from the distant sea ahead.

"What is that?!"

As they exclaimed, that golden light was thrown up into midair.

Taking a closer look, they saw it was actually a huge golden egg that was cracking open!

"It's a divine beast being born!" a Fusang Clan elder exclaimed, his face shocked. He suddenly stood up and took two quick steps forward, as if wanting to see more clearly.

"How could there be a divine beast here?!" Xiao Qionghua frowned slightly, turning her head to look at her husband, "Could it be..."

"It really is a divine beast being born! No wonder..." someone exclaimed delightedly.

Many people showed covetous expressions.

The people of the various great clans on Fusang Island felt their hearts stir.

If they could obtain a divine beast, wouldn't their clan's status become even more secure?

At this moment, Xiao Jun also saw that this golden egg was no ordinary divine beast; its bloodline must certainly be extraordinary!

Because an ordinary divine beast's birth could not possibly provoke such a grand and mighty heavenly tribulation!

Xiao Jun narrowed his eyes.

To be honest, who wouldn't want to contract a divine beast?!

He certainly wanted it too.

But he also realized a problem: how could a divine beast egg possibly be hidden in the Fusang Sea?

That would mean this is someone else's divine beast egg.

His mind involuntarily conjured the images of Ling Er's few fellow sect brothers and sisters, and he secretly thought: this divine beast egg very likely belongs to one of them.

If that's the case, then he couldn't compete with these juniors over it.

Moreover, if he really seized that divine beast egg, even without Thousand Mountain Immortal Lord taking action, his own daughter would beat him to death.

Just thinking about this, Xiao Jun let out a deep sigh.

His daughter is quite fierce.

But at this moment, the back of his hand was suddenly twisted by Xiao Qionghua standing beside him.

He jolted back to his senses and looked at Xiao Qionghua.

Xiao Qionghua gestured for him to look at the various great clans that were eager to move and the other cultivators watching the battle.

The two exchanged a glance.

Xiao Jun rose, stood with his hands behind his back, and said in a low voice: "Everyone, please stay calm; that divine beast has not yet undergone the heavenly tribulation. If you approach now, you may be caught in the tribulation."

"We still don't know whether this divine beast egg can successfully pass the heavenly tribulation."

"Now that this divine beast egg has already left the sea surface, the tribulation will certainly not widely affect the participants of the Sea Hunt Event. But to be safe, as the island lord I have dispatched a unit of elite guards to dive into the sea and evacuate the participants from the dangerous area."

Having said that, he waved his hand.

A team of fifty elite guards immediately set off toward the sea.

After Xiao Jun finished speaking, the crowd temporarily suppressed their eager hearts, but their gazes could not leave the golden egg hovering above the sea.

Meanwhile, Yuan Yao's upper body floated on the sea surface; she raised her head to gaze at the golden egg above and at the enormous mass of dark clouds.

She felt a slight shock in her heart.

This heavenly tribulation is even grander and mightier than the Foundation Establishment tribulation she had previously experienced in the Flowing Light Secret Realm.

Her expression slightly tightened; she immediately took out a Spirit-Healing Pill from her storage space, swallowed it, and quickly circulated her inner breath.

Immediately, she formed hand seals and swiftly laid a spell barrier in this sea area to prevent lightning from striking the surface.

Crack—crack——

Yuan Yao heard the sound and raised her head to stare at the golden egg that was cracking open.

Pieces of broken eggshell fell down.

At the same moment, the first heavenly tribulation had been forged and came crashing down toward the golden egg!

Boom—rumble—rumble!

Purple thick lightning struck solidly onto the golden egg.

And the powerful tribulation lightning's impact almost swept over this sea area, winds howled, waves surged wildly.

The Great Elder and Third Elder who had just arrived nearby changed expression slightly, quickly gathering spiritual power to shield against the spreading lightning!

"Leader, I want to absorb the lightning!" At that moment, a voice came from Yuan Yao's sea of consciousness: it was the little fox.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao pondered for two seconds, then summoned the little fox.

Moreover, she took another water-avoiding bead from her storage space, stuffed it into the little fox's mouth, and instructed: "Hold it in; this is not land. First absorb some stray lightning around here."

The little fox blinked its big eyes and nodded obediently.

Immediately afterward, the little fox began absorbing the stray lightning around it.

At this moment, the Great Elder and Third Elder also noticed Yuan Yao's presence, their expressions turning shocked as they couldn't help but say: "This place is dangerous; quickly move farther away."

Yuan Yao followed the sound and saw their worried expressions, then smiled: "Thank you, both elders, for your kind reminder; I will stay here to keep it company."

The two elders heard this and exchanged a glance.

They seemed to understand instantly.

"This… Divine Beast… is yours?!" the Great Elder asked tentatively.

Yuan Yao nodded.

The two elders were shocked in their hearts; just as they were about to say something, they noticed the second tribulation lightning had already formed, fiercely striking toward the golden egg.

Boom—

Deafening!

Almost enough to overturn the entire sea area!

The two elders instantly came to their senses, quickly gathering spiritual power to block the powerful impact while continually retreating backward!

And Yuan Yao also condensed a barrier to resist.

But soon, she sensed that the golden egg's aura had become unstable.
