Chapter 2161: Li Family Ancestor Breaks Through

Ye Zhangqing had just risen, intending to make a meal for Huang Lao, when suddenly the ground shook violently and spatial cracks like a spiderweb appeared out of nowhere in the sky above.

This was not a spatial tear caused by someone ripping space or the aftershocks of a battle.

The entire visible sky was covered with spiderweb-like spatial cracks.

They stretched onward, unknown where they extended to.

This sudden huge change left everyone stunned on the spot.

Qi Xiong, Hong Zun, Ye Zhangqing and the others did not know what was happening, but Huang Lao and Zuo Fu flashed a strange color in their eyes and muttered.

"The Li Family's old thing has broken through."

Huang Lao and Zuo Fu obviously knew what caused this huge change; it was a sign of the heavenly tribulation descending.

However, this heavenly tribulation is completely different from those of the Ancestor Realm, Immortal Realm, and even the Immortal King Realm.

It can practically be said they are not the same thing at all, worlds apart.

This is the heavenly tribulation for breaking through the Immortal Venerable Realm.

And the Immortal Venerable Realm is a cultivation realm above the Immortal Emperor Realm.

The Li Family's old thing had already been at the Immortal Venerable Realm thousands of years ago; now it has progressed further, breaking through the bottleneck of that realm and reaching a higher level.

The heavenly tribulation blanketed the surrounding area for tens of thousands of li, its terrifying pressure causing countless mortals and beasts to panic and crawl on the ground.

This is a suppression from deep within the soul, leaving one utterly unable to resist.

Ye Zhangqing and the others were shielded by the auras of Huang Lao and Zuo Fu, so they were unaffected.

The Li Family's old thing breaking through at this time is not good news for the Dao One Immortal Sect.

After all, the stronger the Li Family becomes, the more dangerous the Dao One Immortal Sect will surely be; everyone knows Li Hongyan will attack the Dao One Immortal Sect.

With the explanations of Huang Lao and Zuo Fu, Ye Zhangqing and the others finally understood the cause of this change.

However, after hearing this, Ye Zhangqing merely smiled and said.

"Aren't there still two seniors? Even if he broke through, it should be fine, right."

Seeing Ye Zhangqing's relaxed smile, Huang Lao laughed and scolded.

"What you say sounds easy, but that is a breakthrough of the Immortal Venerable Realm."

"Isn't Huang Lao a match for him?"

"Heh, give him another ten thousand years of cultivation and he might have a chance to break through one or two more levels; by then he could possibly rival me a bit."

Huang Lao said with a confident expression.

Seeing that, Ye Zhangqing smiled; there was nothing to worry about.

In other words, even if the Li Family ancestor broke through the Immortal Venerable Realm and reached the realm above, compared to Huang Lao and the others he would still be one major realm behind, so it's nothing to worry about.

Huang Lao and Zuo Fu were full of confidence.

Meanwhile, at the city lord's mansion of Wuji Xiancheng, the place where the pressure was strongest, the grand formation of the mansion had been activated.

The entire city lord's mansion was protected by the formation.

Li Hongyan and the Li Family members inside the formation all wore expressions of ecstatic joy.

"Ancestor, the ancestor has broken through."

Li Hongyan raised his head to look at the horizon; the spatial cracks covering the entire sky, in his eyes, were indescribably beautiful.

The ancestor's breakthrough is undoubtedly a great boon for the Li Family, enough to elevate their power to a higher level.

"Go, have all of humanity go on alert, protect the ancestor with the dharma, and seal off the entire immortal city."

After the excitement, Li Hongyan also realized the seriousness of the situation; although the ancestor's breakthrough is worth celebrating, the most critical thing now is to first deal with this heavenly tribulation.

Only after safely weathering the heavenly tribulation can one truly relax.

Before that, there must be no slip whatsoever.

Immediately, Li Hongyan issued several orders, and the entire Li Family quickly responded.

Li Family strong cultivators were dispersed to various parts of the city to guard against any possible mishap.

Meanwhile, inside the city lord's mansion, the attendants naturally also looked at the sky, but their faces were somewhat grim.

How could the Li Family's undying old fogey break through at this time?

Is this heaven's blessing upon the Li Family?

They originally came just to take down the Li Family, but coincidentally the Li Family's undying old fogey broke through at this time.

Isn't this just raising the difficulty for them?

"The Li Family's old thing breaking through is not good news for us."

"I know."

"Then should we continue?"

Many people were secretly communicating, discussing whether the Li Family ancestor's breakthrough meant their plan should still proceed.

If they continued, what would their chances of success be?

Facing these concerns, everyone fell silent, not daring to give an answer for a while.

As the pressure from the sky grew increasingly intense, a human figure suddenly appeared on the horizon.

This person was gaunt, with skin like old tree bark, full of wrinkles.

Especially on the face, there were deep grooves, and the eye sockets were deeply sunken.

Only his gaze was sharp as a hawk's, giving a sense of ferocity.

This old man was the Li Family ancestor who had broken through, Li HeLi.

Having painstakingly cultivated in the Immortal Venerable Realm for many years, he had finally achieved his wish; advancing further from the hundred-foot pole, Li HeLi could be described as full of vigor and high spirits.

Although he has not yet endured the heavenly tribulation, and moreover this tribulation is extremely dangerous, potentially fatal.

Looking at him, his heart still brims with heroic ambition.

Today I, Li Mou, enter the ancient immortal realm; I should be congratulated by the whole world, haha.

Congratulations to the ancestor on breaking through the realm.

Congratulations to the ancestor on breaking the mirror.

Li He Li's words were full of an overbearing aura that looked down on all things under heaven, and Li Hong Yan and all the Li family members below also loudly congratulated in unison at this time.

Hearing these shouts, Li He Li laughed loudly.

"Haha, I will again bless the Li family for ten thousand years, a hundred million years, not failing the expectations of our ancestors."

After saying that, Li He Li waved his hand, and sweet rain descended from the heavens; the rain fell where Li family members were, and this rain was not ordinary rain—it was of great help to cultivators.

This is a great opportunity that Li He Li gives to his descendants.

After doing all this, Li He Li flashed his body, disappearing directly into the horizon, and plunged into the Wuji Shanmai.

His Heavenly Tribulation cannot be undergone within the range of Wuji Xiancheng; otherwise, even the city's great defensive formation could not stop it at all.

When that Heavenly Tribulation passes, Wuji Xiancheng will basically be destroyed.

Moreover, the best choice for the place to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation is undoubtedly the Wuji Shanmai, since it is the beast clan's territory—no matter how ravaged the tribulation leaves it, there will be no regret.

Li He Li didn't think much about it, and this choice is also fine.

At that very moment, after Li He Li's Heavenly Tribulation appeared, within the time it takes to finish a cup of tea, a new Heavenly Tribulation also appeared above the Dao One Immortal Sect.

However, the pressure of this Heavenly Tribulation is completely incomparable to Li He Li's Heavenly Tribulation, being utterly submerged under the pressure of Li He Li's Heavenly Tribulation.

Therefore, aside from those inside the Dao One Immortal Sect, outsiders could not sense the appearance of this Heavenly Tribulation at all, not even a trace of its aura.
