“What did you say? Little Friend Yun gave Matriarch all of those peerless treasures just like that?” Outside of the hall, Huoyun Rui was shocked. He looked at Yun Lintian, who was standing beside Huoyun Yurou on the top of the volcano, with an amazed expression.
The other elders were no exception. They had to admit they could never be as generous as Yun Lintian if they had such a top treasure.
Huoyun Zhu glanced at everyone and said. “Go to your position. We have to make sure Matriarch can break through safely.”
“Yes.” All the fifty elders quickly spread out and activated defensive formations one by one.
At this moment, Huoyun Yurou was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed. She kept absorbing Profound Spirit Liquid and Soul Liquid nonstop.
In the distance, Yun Lintian and Linlin calmly watched Huoyun Yurou and waited for her to start a breakthrough. “Linlin, stop if it’s dangerous. Understand? Big brother doesn’t want you to get an injury.”
“Don’t worry, Big Brother Yun. I know what to do.” Linlin replied with a confident smile.
Huoyun Yurou’s wrinkled face was rosy as a massive energy current flushing into her body. Her aura constantly rose until one point that she felt the thin layer of barrier in her body was about to shatter.
All of a sudden, the aura present on Huoyun Yurou’s body disappeared for a moment, after which it once again erupted fiercely and immediately forced Yun Lintian and the vegetation around her away.
Rumble—
The sky gradually darkened while the white mist surrounding the Ancestral Land swirled violently.
“Everyone, now!” Huoyun Zhu looked at the sky and shouted loudly.
Immediately, all the elders released their aura and injected their profound energy into the defensive formations before them. In the next moment, a red dome quickly formed and covered the entire mountain.
Above the dome, black clouds began to roil and gather. They seemed boundless and endless as they engulfed all light in the sky. As the dark clouds churned, they began to slowly press down from above as though heaven was furious.
An incomparably oppressive and stifling feeling seemed to come pressing down from the sky, getting heavier and heavier as time went by, making everyone feel like their souls were shaking uncontrollably from being suffocated.
This wasn’t the first time for Huoyun Zhu and other elders to face the Heaven Tribulation, but they still couldn’t get rid of the fear in their hearts.
Meanwhile, Yun Lintian and Linlin looked at the sky in amazement. This was their first time witnessing this phenomenon. It was even more exaggerated than the time Yun Lintian summoned The Thunder.
Yun Lintian didn’t forget to broadcast this scene to Hongyue and others. At this moment, they had already gathered in the living room and observed the scene attentively.
“Although I wasn’t there myself, I can feel the powerful oppression. I don’t know if I can handle it when the time comes.” Yun Lingwei, who was busied with the skyship project for all this time, said.
“This is just the beginning,” Hongyue said casually. “There’s an even more terrifying thing waiting for you once you successfully become a divine being.”
At this moment, black clouds continued to roll in, constantly thickening and forming a dense mass over the Ancestral Land, and continued to expand to several thousand meters.
This scene immediately alarmed all the spies that camped on the outside. They hurriedly reported their masters and discovered their masters had already known about it.

In an ordinary courtyard, a white-haired old man bent down to cut garlic sprouts. He had two long slender beards that looked like a dragon’s beard. His entire body exuded no aura. He looked exactly like an ordinary person. However, this person’s true identity could shake the whole world. He was the former patriarch of the Sky Qilin Clan, Tianqi Zongwei.
Suddenly, Tianqi Zongwei raised his head and looked in the Fire Cloud Rat Clan’s direction. A surprise appeared on his face as he muttered. “Huoyun Yurou?… Interesting.”
“Father!” At this moment, a middle-aged man that was eighty percent resembled Tianqi Zongwei walked into the courtyard and hurriedly bowed respectfully. He was the current patriarch of the Sky Qilin Clan, Tianqi Junlai.
“No need to do anything. She will eventually come out in a few days.” Tianqi Zongwei bent down once again and continued to cut the garlic sprouts while saying. He seemed to see through his son’s thoughts at once.
,m Tianqi Junlai was shocked by his father’s words and calmed down the next second. He didn’t expect it was actually Huoyun Yurou who was about to break through. He quickly replied. “Understood, father. This son will leave now.”
Before he could leave, he suddenly heard Tianqi Zongwei’s voice. “You’ve been in the position for several centuries, yet you are still not calm enough. You should stop scheming against others and practice more.” 𝐞𝗻𝐨𝘃𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝗺
A cold glint flashed across Tianqi Junlai’s eyes briefly before completely dissipating. He turned around and bowed his head. “This son has been taught.” Following that, he quickly left the courtyard.
Tianqi Zongwei suddenly stopped his movement and glanced in the direction his son was leaving. After a while, he shook his head in disappointment and continued to cut the crops.

“It’s her?” In a luxury hall, a dignified middle-aged man had a surprised expression as he glanced at the sky. “How could she do it?”
“What is it, father?” A young man, who was sitting on the side, asked curiously. He was no other than Pei Xiewen, the young master of the Great Roc Clan.
The middle-aged man, Pei Wuwen, replied with a smile. “It’s nothing. That old hag is about to break through.”
“Old hag?… Father means that old woman, Huoyun Yurou?” Pei Xiewen frowned slightly. “Isn’t this bad for us?”
Pei Wuwen shook his head with a chuckle. “It’s still unknown whether she could survive the Heaven Tribulation… Even if she did it, don’t forget that there’s someone that couldn’t wait to tear her apart.”
Pei Xiewen was enlightened. The frown between his brows disappeared entirely as he started to laugh. “I have forgotten about it.”
“Let’s not talk about this. How’s the progress?” Pei Wuwen asked.
Pei Xiewen quickly replied. “She’s more stubborn than I think. I need more time.”
Pei Wuwen’s eyes narrowed slightly. “If she isn’t giving up, just use an extreme method.”
“Understood, father.” Pei Xiewen lowered his head slightly as his face turned gloomy.
