Chapter 1253: with translation of chapter title

You can do it—silently you've already reached the Great Saint Realm.

Your cultivation speed makes me suspect you're a Great Emperor reincarnation—how can you break through so fast?

After Ye Zhangqing successfully broke through to the Great Saint Realm, Zhao Zhengping, Xu Jie and the others all wore envious expressions, but they were genuinely happy for him.

Facing their good-natured teasing, Ye Zhangqing also bantered with them, chatting casually.

He didn't feel there was anything pride-worthy about breaking through to Great Saint; anyway, for Ye Zhangqing, higher cultivation is definitely good, but there's no need to show it off.

As for what Dongfang Bai previously told him—that at their age, having Great Saint cultivation would already count as a top prodigy—Ye Zhangqing didn't care either.

He only idly wonders when bored, mainly because the Heavenly Pride of Zhu Tian Wan Jie is just absurd.

Indeed, Haotu Shijie cannot compare.

So far in Haotu Shijie, it seems besides himself, no one else his age has broken through to the Great Saint Realm.

Even now, with the aid of merit and luck power, Zhao Zhengping and his few senior disciples are only at the Saint Realm, still far from Great Saint.

And why can Ye Zhangqing break through? System, huh, I've been cheating and still telling you what? So those heavenly prides of Zhu Tian Wan Jie are indeed a level above Haotu Shijie.

Maybe it's also because the Xiūliàn environment differs.

Anyway, Ye Zhangqing thinks so, but Dongfang Bai doesn't see it that way.

Upon hearing that Ye Zhangqing had broken through to the Great Saint Realm, Dongfang Bai was filled with emotion, and even Dongfang Hong secretly admired him.

"I didn't expect this backwater to actually produce a true dragon—reaching Great Saint Realm at such a young age."

"I think Ye Zhangqing's talent is probably a bit higher than theirs."

"If we talk only about talent, that's true, but in terms of combat power, Ye Zhangqing still falls a bit short."

"In age, Ye Zhangqing is younger, but in combat power, compared to those few individuals Dongfang Hong has in mind, he still falls short."

"Those guys are truly absurd—originally one should appear only every ten thousand years, yet now they've all gathered in the same era."

"No wonder there are rumors that a great era is coming."

"But it's just a few sighs—why dwell on these things? Even the Dongfang Family's own backsides are being blown by the sea wind."

Only Dongfang Bai silently muttered to himself.

"I don't know how I compare to my elder brother."

Ye Zhangqing's breakthrough indeed stirred some attention at Dao Yi Shengdi, but it didn't last long.

One month later, Bai Hua Xianzi and Absolute Shadow emerged from seclusion, their cultivation having reached Great Saint Realm Perfection, though they still needed some time to aim for the Great Emperor Realm.

The two women didn't care about that; what pleased them more was Ye Zhangqing's breakthrough to Great Saint Realm.

Another month passed, and on this day, the usually quiet Yun Xiantai Dong Fu suddenly emitted waves of terrifying residual energy.

Sensing this residual energy, Qi Xiong, Yu Mo, Hong Zun, Shi Qingfeng, including Dongfang Hong, all rushed over immediately.

This fluctuation made even the great emperors Qi Xiong, Yu Mo and the others feel a pang of palpitation.

And Dongfang Hong was completely stunned.

"Did he really succeed?"

As an Emperor Sovereign Realm expert, Dongfang Hong fully understood the significance of this fluctuation—it clearly signaled a breakthrough to Emperor Sovereign Realm.

"Damn, he actually succeeded? This closed-off world is really that absurd?"

Not to mention being comparable to the top heavenly prides of Zhu Tian Wan Jie, now they've even produced an Emperor Sovereign Realm?

"Is the Emperor Sovereign Realm really that easy to break through? Just say it and it happens?"

The next second, above Dao Yi Shengdi, the heavenly tribulation reappeared.

But this time's heavenly tribulation left everyone dumbfounded, because they had never seen such terrifying might—under the Great Emperor, not a single one could resist, they all prostrated on the ground.

They weren't even deliberately targeting them; it was just the unintentional residual might that even Great Saint powerhouses couldn't withstand.

Such a heavenly tribulation is practically an apocalyptic existence.

And as the heavenly tribulation appeared, Yun Xiantai's figure also appeared before everyone.

There was no change from before, and one couldn't feel that previous oppression, yet in every gesture there was an indescribable feeling.

"Shī xiōng, are you alright?"

Yu Mo was the first to step forward and ask, Yun Xiantai grinning.

"I'm fine; thanks to luck, I didn't disgrace my mission. Let's skip the small talk—I'll go through the heavenly tribulation first."

"Do you have confidence, Shī xiōng?"

"Won't you help me bear one wave?"

Huh???

Yun Xiantai made a joking remark; hearing it, Yu Mo shook his head without thinking—going up there to face that tribulation would be pure suicide.

Earlier, when helping Ye Zhangqing face the Great Saint heavenly tribulation, he showed no fear at all.

But damn, the heavenly tribulation can be increased, yet it never weakens.

For example, if a Great Emperor interferes with a Great Saint heavenly tribulation, it upgrades to a Great Emperor tribulation; but if a Saint recklessly gets involved, the tribulation won't downgrade to a Saint Realm tribulation.

So Yu Mo certainly doesn't want to court death.

"Alright, stay put and relax—I'll be right back."

Having said that, Yun Xiantai stepped forward; space rippled like water, spreading layers of ripples, and then he vanished.

One didn't even see Yun Xiantai tearing space; it felt more like he directly merged into space—this is the means of an Emperor Sovereign Realm.

"I'll go to protect Yun Dao brother's Dharma."

"Many thanks, Senior Dongfang."

Dongfang Hong voluntarily offered to stand guard, and Qi Xiong and the others, upon hearing, also clasped their hands in thanks.

Actually, standing guard doesn't require doing anything; just ensure Yun Xiantai isn't disturbed while undergoing the heavenly tribulation.

But in the present Haotu Shijie, who has the capability to disturb Yun Xiantai's heavenly tribulation?

Just staying far enough away is already fine—who would dare step into the range of the Emperor Sovereign Realm's heavenly tribulation? At that point, even the scum would be completely wiped out.

Dongfang Hong said this also to earn a favor.

He increasingly felt that Haotu Shijie was not simple—it had never been in contact with Zhu Tian Wan Jie, yet these heaven-defying talents kept appearing one after another.

You know how long Yun Xiantai has been in seclusion? Less than a year.

Back when he sensed the breakthrough opportunity, the Dongfang Family made full preparations, and he also secluded himself for a full three years before succeeding.

Others finished it in less than a year.

He picked a place far from Dao Yi Shengdi, because the power of the Emperor Sovereign Realm's heavenly tribulation is too great.

Just a single Heavenly Thunder strike—let alone mountains and rivers, even space seemed to be utterly obliterated.

Everything returned to nothing; Yun Xiantai now found himself directly in the midst of Space Turbulence.

"Yun Dao brother, space has been completely destroyed by the Heavenly Tribulation; when undergoing the tribulation, one must be careful of the surrounding Space Turbulence and not be careless."

At this moment, Dongfang Hong also rushed over, not daring to get too close, and could only remind via spiritual voice transmission.

From Dongfang Hong's perspective at this moment, Yun Xiantai not far away seemed to be in a completely different world from where he was.
