Chapter 230: Forcibly Mobilizing the Power of the Stars

The Heavenly Tribulation is by no means a mere natural phenomenon in the Primordial World; behind it actually lies the will and rules of the Heavenly Dao.

Through the form of the Heavenly Tribulation, the Heavenly Dao tests and screens all living beings to maintain the balance and order of the entire world. When a living being's cultivation reaches a certain level, it will trigger the Heavenly Tribulation; this is the Heavenly Dao's recognition of the being's strength, as well as a test of whether the being can continue to break through.

Now, the Human Race powerhouses are using the power of the Zhou Tian Star Formation to collectively trigger the Great Luo Golden Immortal Tribulation; this act is undoubtedly a direct challenge to the rules of the Heavenly Dao.

Through the power of the array, the Human Race powerhouses are attempting to pool their strength to resist the Heavenly Tribulation together. This is not merely as simple as transcending a tribulation; it is a head-on clash between the power of Humanity and the rules of the Heavenly Dao! Taishang Laojun, as the Good Corpse of Laozi, witnessed all of this from Bajing Palace on Shouyang Mountain and immediately realized the profound implications within.

He understood that this move by Lu Yun was not just to enhance the strength of the Human Race, but also an attempt to use this action to proclaim the rise and power of the Human Race to the entire Primordial World.

At the same time, this was also a manifestation of Humanity and a challenge to the rules of the Heavenly Dao.

Taishang Laojun knew that this matter was of great importance and immediately reported the situation to his original self, Laozi.

……

Upon receiving the news in Chaos, Laozi's expression also changed abruptly.

He had not expected Lu Yun to be so bold as to dare challenge the majesty of the Heavenly Dao.

Laozi subconsciously looked toward Hongjun and discovered that Hongjun Daozu was being held back firmly by Houtu at this moment. Clearly, Houtu was also doing this intentionally, wanting to fight for a glimmer of survival for the Human Race.

However, Laozi also knew clearly that the Primordial Heavenly Dao would certainly not sit idly by in the face of such provocation.

The power of the Heavenly Tribulation would reach an unprecedented level, and even with the help of the Zhou Tian Star Formation, this group of Human Race powerhouses would likely find it difficult to resist. The group of powerhouses the Human Race had worked so hard to develop would likely be destroyed in one fell swoop! But then, Laozi thought to himself that this might actually be a good thing.

These people were loyal followers of Lu Yun; if they all perished, Lu Yun's Human Race Luck would inevitably plummet, which would undoubtedly deal a major blow to his plans. Perhaps he could take this opportunity to completely eradicate Lu Yun! As for the Human Race powerhouses, he could just slowly cultivate more for his Ren Sect later! Therefore, Laozi chose to remain silent and continued to fight against the attacks of the Ancestral Witches alongside the other Saints.

……

Above Shouyang City.

Clouds and mist swirled as Lu Yun stood atop them. In front of him were three hundred and sixty-five Human Race Great Luo Golden Immortals, arranged in the Zhou Tian Star Formation, each holding a Star Array Flag, preparing to welcome the Great Luo Immortal Tribulation.

On the land below, over fourteen thousand eight hundred Human Race Taiyi Golden Immortals were distributed according to the positions of the Zhou Tian Star Formation, ready to assist the Great Luo Golden Immortals in transcending the tribulation.

Above the firmament.

"Boom—"

The Tribulation Cloud gathered, and thunder rolled.

The terrifying pressure of the Heavenly Tribulation spread out, directly frightening Duobao and the others, as well as the many Taiyi Golden Immortals from all corners of the Great Desolation, into fleeing in panic, fearing they would be caught in the wake of the tribulation.

The Human Race Great Luo Golden Immortals naturally felt the terrifying pressure within the Tribulation Cloud, but their eyes were firm, without the slightest fear.

"Begin!" Lu Yun's voice spread to every corner of Shouyang Mountain.

Following his command, the three hundred and sixty-five Human Race Great Luo Golden Immortals simultaneously activated their Star Array Flags, beginning to draw upon the power of the Zhou Tian stars, preparing to officially start the tribulation. The many Human Race Taiyi Golden Immortals naturally began to cooperate immediately to operate the array.

In an instant, in the Outer Space, ancient stars one after another lowered their vast Star Power, all converging toward Shouyang Mountain.

Within a radius of ten thousand miles around Shouyang Mountain, the area was completely shrouded in starlight, looking incredibly spectacular and leaving Duobao and the others shocked to their cores.

Only Taishang Laojun had a very ugly expression at this moment.

This Lu Yun, of all places, had to choose the vicinity of Shouyang Mountain to transcend the tribulation, and he even set up the Zhou Tian Star Formation with Shouyang Mountain as the center—was this not trying to drag him into it?

What if he were also deemed by the Heavenly Dao to be participating in the Human Race's tribulation? Thinking of this, Taishang Laojun hurriedly took advantage of the fact that the Heavenly Tribulation had not yet fallen and quickly left Shouyang Mountain, flying rapidly in the direction of Kunlun Mountain!

His decision naturally caught Lu Yun's attention.

But Lu Yun only smiled slightly, not paying much mind, and turned his attention back to the Human Race side.

At the same time, in the Outer Space, as the Human Race began to draw upon the power of the Zhou Tian stars, the Demon Race suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

"What is going on? Why is the Star Power being forcibly drawn away?"

"This feeling, why does it seem like someone has set up the Zhou Tian Star Formation on the Primordial Land?"

"How is this possible? No, that's not right, that Lu Yun forcibly snatched our Demon Race's Zhou Tian Star Formation before!"

"Could it be that Lu Yun is causing trouble?"

"There is a report from the Demon Race on the Primordial Land saying that Lu Yun has had many Human Race powerhouses set up an array, and they are actually using the power of the Zhou Tian stars to let a group of Great Luo Golden Immortals transcend the Heavenly Tribulation!"

"What?! This... what is to be done?"

"Quick, report this to the two Majesties!"

"The Majesties have entered the Chaos; we cannot contact them at all right now!"

"We can only try to stop the Great Luo Golden Immortals left behind and have them rush to report to the Majesties with the fastest speed!"

……

At this moment, above Shouyang Mountain, the Heavenly Tribulation had officially begun to descend.

"Boom—"

The Tribulation Cloud churned with thunderous force.

Because this was three hundred and sixty-five Great Luo Golden Immortals transcending the tribulation simultaneously, the Tribulation Cloud actually manifested the might of hundreds of tribulation lightning bolts falling at once!

Thick bolts of tribulation lightning struck down from the Tribulation Cloud, slamming directly toward the Human Race Great Luo Golden Immortals below, looking terrifyingly imposing! Just watching from afar, Duobao and the others felt their minds tremble, feeling that if they were to enter such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation, they would absolutely be reduced to ashes in an instant!

However, under the operation of the Zhou Tian Star Formation, these tribulation lightning bolts were dispersed and borne collectively by the many Human Race Taiyi Golden Immortals.

At the same time, with the aid of the Star Power, the strength of the Human Race Great Luo Golden Immortals was greatly enhanced, and they each activated their Supernatural Powers and magic treasures to engage in a fierce confrontation with the tribulation lightning.

This first wave of tribulation lightning was thus easily received.

Inside the live broadcast room, the members of the Transmigration Chat Group witnessed this scene and discussed it excitedly.

Yun Yao: "Wow! It's so spectacular!"

Jiang Ye: "Three hundred and sixty-five Great Luo Golden Immortals transcending the tribulation at once; such a scene is truly unprecedented!"

You Fang: "Indeed! The big shots in the group are truly awesome to have come up with such a method to enhance the strength of the Human Race!"

Liu Chongxiao: "This is simply challenging the limits of the Heavenly Dao! Besides Big Shot Lu Yun, who else would dare to do this?"

Ming Xi: "Looking at the might of this Heavenly Tribulation, if one were to face it alone, I'm afraid few in the Great Desolation could withstand it. But with the blessing of the Zhou Tian Star Formation, the Human Race was actually able to receive the first wave of tribulation lightning so easily!"

Xiao Ling'er: "This is the power of unity! Under the leadership of Big Shot Lu Yun, the Primordial Human Race is truly becoming stronger and stronger!"

Chen Hai: "I am looking forward more and more to seeing the scene after they successfully transcend the tribulation; that will surely be a historic moment for the Human Race!"

Ling Yan: "Big Shot Lu Yun's move really hit the Demon Race where it hurts! They must be feeling incredibly stifled right now!" Qiu Wanli: "Hahaha, it's truly refreshing! It's just a pity I can't watch the Demon Race suffer, otherwise I would be especially happy!"

……

Everyone was talking over one another, discussing it with great enthusiasm. Although they were in different worlds, at this moment, they all felt incomparably excited and proud because of the feat of Lu Yun and the Human Race.

Lu Yun stood to one side, watching all of this with a gaze like a torch.

He knew clearly in his heart that even though he had made many arrangements, this Heavenly Tribulation was still a huge test for the Human Race, but at the same time, it was also a rare opportunity.

As long as they could successfully survive this Heavenly Tribulation, the strength of the Human Race would surely be greatly enhanced.

"Boom!"

Another wave of several hundred bolts of Tribulation Lightning struck down, only to be successfully blocked by the Zhou Tian Star Formation.

Lu Yun smiled slightly, his heart filled with confidence.

Just at this moment, he sensed that the Star Power falling from Outer Space had weakened, to the point that the Human Race side had almost failed to block the third wave of Tribulation Lightning.

Lin Chen: "It must be that the Demon Race has discovered something is wrong and is trying to snatch the Star Power from the Human Race."

Fang Xu: "It's useless. Didn't Lu Yun say that the high-level members of the Demon Race, such as Di Jun and Taiyi, were all attracted by the battle in Chaos and had gone to watch it?"

Lei Hong: "With the remaining powerhouses of the Demon Race, it won't be so easy to compete with the Human Race for the Star Power!"

Qin Ling: "Even if they can snatch some away, Lu Yun surely has other backup plans. We can just wait and see!"

……

Lu Yun glanced at the live stream's chat and couldn't help but give everyone a thumbs up.

He naturally had a backup plan!

That backup plan was his twelve Primordial incarnations!

At this moment, as his thoughts stirred, his incarnations, which were originally scattered across the Primordial Land and responsible for strengthening the Human Race's defenses, suddenly converged from all directions.

Even Lu Wen, the Literature Dao incarnation he had originally arranged to stay inside the Mountain and River Map to be responsible for receiving and settling those who passed the Heart-Refining Rainbow Bridge, flew directly out of the Mountain and River Map.

Before the fourth wave of Tribulation Lightning descended, his incarnations entered directly into the Zhou Tian Star Formation set up by the Human Race.

With their addition, the power of the Human Race's Zhou Tian Star Formation suddenly surged, instantly snatching back the Star Power that had just been intercepted by the Demon Race side, helping them block this fourth wave of Tribulation Lightning!

……

In Chaos.

The Heavenly Dao Faction of Hongjun's side and the Earthly Faction of Houtu's side were still colliding fiercely at this moment.

The terrifying commotion left countless onlookers shocked to their core! Just at this moment—

"Your Majesty Demon Emperor, Your Majesty Eastern Emperor!"

A Great Luo Golden Immortal of the Demon Race hurried into Chaos and arrived anxiously before the high-level Demon Race members, including Di Jun and Taiyi, who were watching the battle.

Di Jun and the others finally heard the news from the Primordial Land from the mouth of the Great Luo Golden Immortal who had rushed over; their expressions changed abruptly, and they were all filled with shock and anger.

They never imagined that Lu Yun would be so bold as to take advantage of their absence to let the Human Race powerhouses undergo their tribulation collectively with the help of the power of the Zhou Tian Star Formation!

This was simply an open provocation against the Demon Race.

"Lu Yun, you have such great audacity!"

Di Jun roared in anger, sharp light flashing in his eyes, "He is completely disregarding my Demon Race!"

Taiyi and the Ten Great Demon Sages were also incomparably furious.

Taiyi said in a deep voice, "Brother, let us return quickly! We absolutely cannot let his treacherous scheme succeed!"

Di Jun frowned and habitually looked at Baize, asking, "Baize, what do you think?"

Baize said solemnly, "Your Majesty Demon Emperor, Baize believes that what His Majesty Eastern Emperor said is reasonable! Moreover, this might be the best opportunity for us to kill that Lu Yun and suppress the Human Race at the same time!"

Once these words were spoken, the eyes of Di Jun, Taiyi, and the other high-level Demon Race members all lit up.

That's right!

It was only at this moment that they remembered that the current battle between the Saints of the Primordial Land and the twelve Ancestral Witches had attracted the vast majority of the other powerhouses of the Primordial Land.

If they took this opportunity to return to the Primordial Land and take action directly against the Human Race, there would be no one left who could help that Lu Yun!

Thinking of this, Taiyi was even somewhat impatient, saying, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go back quickly!"

As he spoke, he directly summoned the Chaos Bell, preparing to break through Chaos and return to the Primordial Land! A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Di Jun's eyes, and he also nodded; he knew that this was a heaven-sent opportunity that could not be missed. Thus, he also summoned his own magic treasure, the River Chart and Luo Book, and together with Taiyi, broke through Chaos and led the Demon Race back to Outer Space.

The onlookers nearby naturally noticed the departure of the Demon Race.

But most people only took a glance, and then their attention was immediately drawn back to the terrifying battle between the Heavenly Dao Faction and the Earthly Faction.

Only Kunpeng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Just a moment ago, he had been worrying about whether Di Jun and the others would suddenly come to settle scores with him.

Now he could finally relax a little.

However, he was also somewhat confused, not knowing what had happened in the Primordial Land that could make Di Jun and the others collectively give up watching the battle of the Saints? His heart suddenly jolted: Could it be that Lu Yun had taken the opportunity to launch an attack on the Demon Race in Outer Space? ……

Di Jun and the others all traveled at the fastest speed.

On the way, Baize suddenly suggested, "Your Majesty Eastern Emperor, you should return to Outer Space first to preside over the Zhou Tian Star Formation and compete with the Human Race for the Star Power, striving to prevent the Human Race's Great Luo Golden Immortals from successfully transcending their tribulation. We shall return together with the Demon Emperor!"

"Good!"

Taiyi agreed without hesitation, immediately breaking away from the group and accelerating alone through Chaos while driving the Chaos Bell.

Without the need to carry others, his speed was indeed much faster, and before long, he returned to Outer Space, only to see that even with the Demon Race operating the Great Array at full power, they were unable to stop the Human Race from plundering the Star Power.

Seeing this, Taiyi was also incredibly annoyed: "Damn Lu Yun!"

He immediately drove the Chaos Bell with all his might, attempting to strengthen the power of the Zhou Tian Star Formation to compete with the Human Race for the Star Power.
