Chapter 39: The Great Calamity Begins, Tribulation Qi is Born

Within a Branch Vein, Tian Yuan carefully sensed the situation inside the stone figure before him.

Amidst the violence and madness, there was a trace of bloodthirst.

"Law of Madness!" Tian Yuan muttered softly, a look of surprise on his face.

That Great Witch had been taken away directly by the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil without even exchanging blows; he had not known the specifics beforehand.

Now that it had manifested here, it was also a powerful Law.

Thinking about it in his heart, it made sense; as a Great Witch, how could he possibly master ordinary Laws?

As the Law continuously manifested, the stone figure's skin grew redder and redder, until finally, its entire body was crimson, yet it shimmered with wisps of pitch black.

Just like before, the stone figure's cultivation stopped at the early stage of the Golden Immortal realm.

Tian Yuan calmed his mind to sense it carefully; in about a thousand years, that silver stone figure had already stepped into the mid-stage of the Golden Immortal realm.

Although the white stone figure manifested from the Law of Force was slightly inferior, the aura on its body was clearly much more profound.

"Not bad! Not bad!" Tian Yuan nodded, feeling quite pleased.

That they could cultivate independently, but had gaps due to the difficulty of practicing their respective Laws, was also within his expectations.

The situation with the dredging of the Earth Veins was somewhat frustrating, but he was still very satisfied with these few stone figures.

Once the Three Thousand Laws were gathered, it would surely be incomparably spectacular.

With the dredging of the Earth Veins, if he could lead them out of this space, what would the mere Three Thousand Guests of Zixiao Palace count for?

Tian Yuan, joyful in his heart, was just about to leave this space when his body suddenly stiffened.

Within the golden spiritual energy flowing above his head, a wisp of gray energy trailed down.

This was inside the Earth Vein, shrouded by the will of Mount Buzhou; how could any mixed will possibly sneak in?

Greatly alarmed, Tian Yuan flashed upward and reached out to grab it.

But the moment it fell into his hand, his expression changed slightly.

It was no mixed consciousness at all; it was actually Tribulation Qi!

He exerted a little force with his right hand, and that wisp of Tribulation Qi shattered in his palm. Yet, within just a few breaths, the Tribulation Qi recovered once more, continuing to drift slowly down toward the Earth Vein.

"This is trouble!"

Tian Yuan looked toward the top of his head, his expression turning somewhat unsightly.

Under the dim sky, wisps of gray energy were trailing down.

They were falling toward the Earth Veins, and if they encountered any wandering consciousnesses, they would merge directly into one.

Tian Yuan could feel very clearly that those consciousnesses were becoming irritable.

The Witch-Demon Calamity was about to begin, and Tribulation Qi was born in the world, but Tian Yuan had not expected this Tribulation Qi to appear in the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space first.

It would likely pass through the Earth Veins and then rise up through the many Spiritual Veins of the Primordial World, shrouding the heavens and earth.

Tian Yuan's figure flashed repeatedly; the Tribulation Qi seemed to cover the entire Eastern Land, trailing down from the sky in scattered wisps.

Standing atop the sacred mountain, Tian Yuan cast his gaze toward the firmament.

The preaching at Purple Heaven Palace had only just begun, and yet Tribulation Qi had already arisen in the world; it was all too coincidental.

Tian Yuan did not know if it was related to that person in Purple Heaven Palace, but this suddenly emerging Tribulation Qi would definitely affect the dredging of the Earth Veins.

Kuafu, in the Main Vein, was the first to discover the anomaly above his head.

"Eh! What is this?" The burly Kuafu reached out to grab the wisp of energy drifting before him, a look of confusion on his face.

Little did he know that before he could finish speaking, the Tribulation Qi had already begun to bore into his body of its own accord.

Kuafu's body shook, and that wisp of energy shattered, turning into powder that scattered within the Earth Vein.

Yet, in the blink of an eye, it healed again and slowly drifted downward.

"It's Tribulation Qi!!!" Houyi exclaimed, his expression changing slightly: "Has the Great Calamity arisen in the world?"

The Great Calamity was a catastrophe that swept across the entire world; for most living beings in the Primordial World, it was an absolute disaster. But the Wu Clan was currently flourishing and had the momentum to unify the Primordial World, so where would this killing calamity come from?

Under the leadership of the many Ancestral Witches, who else in the Primordial World could contend with them? Houyi did not understand! "The Great Calamity? My Wu Clan is flourishing, who can fight against us?" Kuafu shouted, his face filled with astonishment.

The third Great Witch who had flown up also nodded repeatedly, finding it hard to believe.

Houyi flew forward and shouted toward the sacred mountain: "Tian Yuan!"

Regarding such a major event, he had to consult that mysterious stone figure.

Tribulation Qi was born in response to the heavens and earth; it was definitely not something Tian Yuan could control.

"The Great Calamity begins, Tribulation Qi is born; this is the great trend of the heavens and earth. You all just need to focus on dredging the Earth Veins!" Tian Yuan's calm voice drifted through the many Earth Veins.

Many confused members of the Wu Clan and the Demon Race were all shocked; there was actually a killing calamity in the Primordial World.

Some were shocked, some were skeptical, but those Demon Beasts were quite happy.

Hiding here to dredge the Earth Veins and improve their strength, while also being able to avoid the Great Calamity, was truly a great stroke of fortune.

Having received Tian Yuan's confirmation, Houyi's expression became incomparably grave.

From the meaning of the other's words, Houyi also understood that Tian Yuan would not let them out.

"Brother! What should we do now?" Looking at the sacred mountain in the distance, Kuafu asked in a deep voice.

The way to leave this space perhaps lay on the sacred mountain.

Yet, in these thousand years, Mount Buzhou had moved several times, and the aura of the Father God had grown increasingly profound; how could they dare to desecrate it?

Meeting the gazes of the two, Houyi plunged downward with his head bowed.

They couldn't win a fight, so what else could they do? They could only improve their strength as quickly as possible.

The Tribulation Qi had only just arisen; there was certainly still a long time before the true Great Calamity.

Tian Yuan paid no heed to the people in the Earth Veins; his brows were already slightly furrowed.

Just now, when he used the will of Mount Buzhou to transmit through the many Earth Veins, he had felt a hint of resistance.

The suddenly appearing Tribulation Qi would actually affect the transmission of the will of Mount Buzhou, which meant that in the future, it might be difficult to directly and accurately transport living beings to the various Earth Veins.

"I must hurry and capture a wave of Wu people." Glancing at the many dim Earth Veins in the distance, Tian Yuan's figure vanished from the mountain.

He had originally wanted to properly comprehend the Law of Force and the Space Law, but now he could only continue to rapidly capture Wu people.

Appearing on Mount Buzhou, Tian Yuan looked toward the Eastern Land at the foot of the mountain and fled toward a cleared Earth Vein.

Although the Wu Clan had no Primordial Spirit and did not breathe in the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, their tribes were almost all concentrated on numerous Spiritual Veins.

And those Spiritual Veins were all attached to the Earth Veins.

As long as one searched along the Earth Veins, one could naturally and easily find the Wu Clan tribes.

Tian Yuan's rapid figure swept past, and one by one, the Wu people in the tribe were taken into the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil.

At this moment, within a massive canyon at the foot of Mount Buzhou, clouds and mist swirled, and one could see stone pillars reaching toward the sky, so tall their tops could not be seen.

Deep in the canyon, among the many stone pillars, a massive divine temple faintly floated.

A vast and ancient aura overflowed from the valley, and within ten thousand miles of the valley, no Demon Beast dared to approach.

At this moment, several figures gathered at the entrance of the canyon, pacing back and forth and frequently looking toward the inside of the valley.

Yet the might within was Gungun, and they were simply unable to step inside.

Just as these few were anxious, a shout exploded from behind them.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the clan's divine temple!"

The few were shaken, immediately turned their heads to look, and their faces instantly filled with great joy.

The newcomer had a burly figure, held a shield and axe, and radiated a monstrous fighting spirit.

With just a slight gaze, a Gungun might rolled over, causing people to tremble.
