Chapter 1041: Heavenly Dao won't mess with him—I will

Several demon race scouts exchanged glances, their eyes full of suspicion; they began to doubt their demonic existence.

After a long silence, the leader of the demon race scouts spoke with a vacant stare.

"First, contact the demon emperors."

This matter must certainly be reported to the demon emperors, after all the situation is completely unlike what we imagined—who knows why the heavenly thunder doesn't harm Qi Xiong in the slightest, instead it keeps nourishing him.

Qi Xiong is your father, you damn well dare not mess with him.

He immediately employed a voice-transmission secret technique to inform the situation to all the demon emperors.

Soon, an angry shout came from the other end of the secret technique.

"What did you say? The heavenly tribulation isn't messing with him? How could that be, why isn't it messing with him?"

"This... I don't know either."

"Trash, idiot, useless thing, I @#￥@#￥@#￥@"

After the tirade, this demon race scout wore a grim face, 'What does it matter? The heavenly tribulation isn't messing with him—go find the tribulation yourself, why bother me?'

He felt extremely wronged, while a myriad miles away, the demon emperors who received the news had faces dark beyond compare.

We had planned to wait until Qi Xiong passed the heavenly tribulation, when he would be severely wounded, then strike suddenly—our chance of success was at least eighty percent.

But now, the heavenly tribulation isn't messing with him, which means Qi Xiong won't be severely wounded.

The demon emperors exchanged glances, for a moment not knowing what to say; after waiting a while, finally one demon emperor spoke.

"What should we do now?"

"How to deal with it, damn the Heavenly Dao—is the human race really your beloved son? You're not even messing with the heavenly tribulation? You're doing this openly, right?"

This clearly is the Heavenly Dao's intention; the demon emperors are furious, gritting their teeth.

Fine, fine, fine, you Heavenly Dao are playing like this, okay, really okay.

"It's heaven-sent merit."

A demon emperor guessed this should be due to the power of merit, but will this merit power be too much?

It can even ignore the damn Great Emperor heavenly tribulation? What the hell are we playing at?

If the Heavenly Dao plays like this, we other races might as well not play at all—just bind our hands and wait to die.

Anger aside, but should we continue with the plan now?

After looking around at the many powerful demon race beings present, the demon emperors hesitated.

This is indeed a good opportunity; if the Heavenly Dao weren't doing this, the demon emperors would be confident they could kill Qi Xiong.

Even with the support of Dao Yi Shengdi, it's still the same.

But..............

Mess with it—damn the Heavenly Dao not messing with him, we demon race will mess with him; today we will kill him no matter what.

After a moment, a demon emperor spoke through gritted teeth.

One part is jealous envy—why does the Heavenly Dao favor the human race so much, while treating us demon race like this?

The other part is that they have witnessed the terror of the merit power.

It can even ignore the damn Great Emperor heavenly tribulation—who knows what other heaven-defying effects this merit power might have.

If we continue to let the human race go unchecked, then eventually it will truly be a case of being slaughtered at will.

So today we must definitely kill Qi Xiong, pressing him to death within demon race territory.

Upon hearing this, although the demon emperors' faces lost their earlier ease, after a moment of contemplation they each nodded heavily, indicating agreement.

The human race must be suppressed, otherwise they really won't be able to play.

Qi Xiong's breakthrough to the Great Emperor Realm is like this; what about other humans who have obtained merit power—what will they be like?

Anyway, it probably won't be harder than Qi Xiong's breakthrough to Great Emperor.

That is to say, nobody knows just how much the human race's strength has increased in this short span of a little over a month.

Perhaps it far exceeds their expectations.

Not having chosen to give up, but choosing to continue striking, the demon emperors led their people and kept rushing toward where Qi Xiong was.

Not to mention the demon race, even Qi Xiong himself is somewhat bewildered.

We originally planned to have a great battle with the heavenly tribulation, but who would have thought the ending would turn out like this.

Dozens of heavenly thunderbolts struck down; Qi Xiong was certain this heavenly tribulation caused him no harm at all.

Although he didn't know why, and even felt a bit disappointed inside, Qi Xiong simply lay down.

It was as if he were lying on his own bed, letting the heavenly thunder from above fall, then turning into threads of pure energy that flowed into his body.

Moreover, with the tribulation's aid, Qi Xiong's aura became ever deeper and more restrained.

It doesn't look like he just broke through at all.

Even his foundation has been forged to be ever more perfect.

The Great Emperor heavenly tribulation not only didn't injure Qi Xiong, but on the contrary gave him many benefits.

Meanwhile, in the distance, watching Qi Xiong who resembled an old grandpa, several demon race scouts felt sour, their eyes turning red.

What gives him the right? This is the Great Emperor heavenly tribulation—do you think he's on vacation?

Looking at Qi Xiong's smug expression, several demon race scouts wished the heavenly thunder would kill him, but sadly, the heavenly thunder before Qi Xiong is like seeing one's own father.

"Is this heavenly tribulation not fake?"

"Huh???"

One demon race scout couldn't help but speak, directly suspecting that this heavenly thunder might be fake; otherwise there'd be no reason for it to be like this.

Upon hearing his words, the other demon race scouts were also startled, then pondered, seeming to really have taken it in.

"I'll go try it."

Well, one of the demon race scouts actually seemed to believe it; after speaking, he cautiously walked toward the area where the heavenly thunder was.

In its view, since this Heavenly Tribulation didn't harm Qi Xiong in the slightest, it must not be very powerful.

Qi Xiong can act like a big shot, so why can't I?

The one who sought to test the law with his body walked toward the Heavenly Tribulation, but as soon as he entered the area covered by the Heavenly Tribulation, it instantly locked onto this Demon Race scout.

Terrifying heavenly might poured down wildly, a supreme aura of death rushed over, this Demon Race scout's expression changed instantly, he secretly thought 'not good', turned and wanted to flee.

「Holy shit............. 」

But before he could take a step, a bolt of Heavenly Thunder from above fiercely struck down.

In the blink of an eye it struck this Demon Race scout, and then............. this Demon Race scout was gone.

Not even a corpse was left behind.

Is the Heavenly Thunder real?

Watching this Demon Race scout perish, the other scouts were dumbfounded, the Demon Race who had just spoken swallowed his saliva.

「Impossible, how could it possibly be real. 」

「Shut up. 」

Upon hearing that, the leading scout, with a grim face, shouted, 'If it weren't for your nonsense, how could it possibly seek death on its own?'

However, through the death of this Demon Race scout, we can confirm that this Heavenly Tribulation has no problems; it's real, truly real beyond doubt.

But since it's real, why is Qi Xiong unharmed? It's really like your father.

No one dared to test the law with their body anymore; several Demon Race scouts even felt a lingering fear and retreated far away.

Just fearing that the Heavenly Tribulation might go berserk, then it would also count them in; Qi Xiong can be unafraid of the Heavenly Tribulation, but they cannot.

This Great Emperor Heavenly Tribulation, they cannot withstand even a single strike; contact means instant death; even though the leading scout has the cultivation of a Demon King, he still dares not joke about the Great Emperor Heavenly Tribulation.
