Chapter 230: Chapter 228: This is Simply Cheating!
Qiuyue was not unaware that a large number of people were watching her at this moment.
However, she also did not know what to say to the people within the Sovereign Civilization.
Since that was the case, she decided to say nothing at all.
She would show them her strength directly!
Therefore, Qiuyue bravely triggered the Heavenly Tribulation.
To most people in front of the screen at this moment, the dark clouds in the sky were gathering at an astonishing speed, even defying natural laws, but those present at the scene undoubtedly felt it more profoundly.
“Extraordinary elements are gathering!”
“Such astonishing power.”
“This Heavenly Tribulation is no ordinary one.”
“Golden Legendary rules, indeed, are not so easy.”
“…”
Clearly, this was just the beginning, but the momentum of the Heavenly Tribulation had already shocked many people.

Even Qiuyue couldn’t help but show a surprised expression at this time.
She quickly explained to the camera, “The momentum of this Heavenly Tribulation… is quite strong, stronger than we anticipated, with a massive convergence of extraordinary elements, creating an overwhelming pressure.”
It was not just Qiuyue; many had realized that this Heavenly Tribulation might not be so simple.
Before this, real powerhouses like Yang Jun and Qiuyue had somewhat underestimated Heavenly Tribulation.
After all, Heavenly Tribulation was only Golden Legendary level, and it was more of a reward than a punishment.
Each of them already possessed a full quota of Golden Legendary abilities; the Golden Legend level was not an unimaginable tier for them.
But evidently, having just begun, they realized their underestimation of the Heavenly Tribulation.
Especially Qiuyue, who was undergoing the tribulation.
Having confidently chosen the highest difficulty, she naturally thought she could easily overcome it, but at this moment, she felt a clear sense of danger.
“Is this the Heavenly Tribulation?” her innate talent, her instincts, were constantly warning her!
Suddenly, Qiuyue took the situation very seriously.
It was the moment when the warnings peaked.
Boom—!
What looked like an exceptionally thick, even uncharacteristic of lightning, a purple thunderbolt struck from the sky, accurately hitting Qiuyue, while at the same time, intense flames and sharp wind blades completely enveloped her, affecting her inside and out!
At this instant, many spectators changed their expressions.
Their perception clearly told them the danger of this Heavenly Tribulation.
Three Heavenly Tribulations arrived simultaneously!
Many with strengths still at Levels 17 and 18, even felt that they would have difficulty withstanding it.
And this was only the first one!
“The intensity of the Heavenly Tribulation is very high,” Qiuyue warned the audience with a serious face, “Don’t be careless. The strength of this Heavenly Tribulation could seriously injure a Level 20 Chosen One with Blue Elite talent without proper preparedness!”
This straightforward explanation immediately caused an uproar in the comments.
With the current number of Human Chosen Ones coming to twenty thousand, including all alien Chosen Ones, there are a total of fifty thousand. Yet among them, the number of those with Blue Elite talents is merely around eight or nine hundred— and this is after the last trial’s reward settlement!
For most people, this small group already stood at the peak of extraordinary individuals in the entire civilization!
Yet now, such a group might be severely injured by just the first Heavenly Tribulation?
Even if this was the highest difficulty level of Heavenly Tribulation, the difficulty still far exceeded their initial expectations.
Many who had initially surged with fighting spirit and courage now involuntarily began to hesitate again.
If one were to lose their life in the Tribulation, it would hardly be worth it.
Meanwhile, in the scene, as the dust settled, Qiuyue’s figure reappeared, seeming unharmed, but sharp-eyed individuals could still spot the slight furrow in her brows and the singed tips of her hair.
Clearly, even for her, that strike was not something to be completely ignored.
And in less than half a minute, the second Heavenly Tribulation began to brew.
Boom—!
Another thunderous roar, visibly stronger than the previous one!
Qiuyue no longer spoke, replaced instead by a solemn expression.
The third, the fourth…
Each one more astonishing than the last!
By the time of the fifth one, even Qiuyue, who had a Golden Legendary talent, showed signs of change in her breath and appearance—she could no longer care about her appearance, even her clothes, clearly of not low-grade magic treasures, were somewhat damaged.
But the greater shock was known only to Qiuyue herself.
She was indeed enduring immense pain, her entire body in agony.
Like being pricked by needles, cut by knives, burned by fire.
But at the same time, she could clearly feel her body undergoing a peculiar transformation, becoming more compact and stronger, even undergoing what could be called a “metamorphosis”!
“This is the Heavenly Tribulation!” Xi Qing slowly exhaled and, as she looked again at the increasingly dense clouds above the sky, the shock in her heart was indescribable.
What exceeded expectations was not only the difficulty of the Heavenly Tribulation but also its intensity!
She didn’t even need to fully pass through it, but right now, if she wanted, she could directly break through to the third stage—Level 21!
And without a doubt, if she could withstand the complete Heavenly Tribulation, she would break through in an even more perfect and more powerful way.
This kind of foundation might not be as clear as “ability,” “equipment,” or “profession” laid out plainly, but for a Chosen One like her, who inevitably pursued perfection and strength, any improvement in foundation was extremely important, especially one as significant and powerful as this!
“I must overcome the Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation!” Xi Qing resolved in her heart.
She had the confidence to do so.
Few people knew that the strongest part of her Talent was not combat, but her recovery ability!
When the damage reached a certain threshold, the Phoenix Bloodline inside her would activate, allowing her to recover at an extremely fast rate, akin to a Nirvana Rebirth!
“The sixth strike, no, the seventh should be about enough,” Xi Qing contemplated internally while also feeling somewhat satisfied, “This highest difficulty of Heavenly Tribulation is so strong that even in Human Civilization, there must be few who can survive it. Once my Talent activates, it will surely leave a profound impression on the people of Human Civilization.”
For her, this was success!
The sixth strike arrived as expected, and the Thunder and firestorm even melted the ground around Xi Qing completely, with the camera clearly showing the scorching “magma” slowly flowing.
The barrage had lessened a great deal; everyone was silent.
Clearly, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation had frightened many people.
However high the reward, it made some people apprehensive.
But, just as the seventh strike of the Heavenly Tribulation was brewing, the scene suddenly changed!
Several emerald branches broke through the ground!
Their entire bodies even exuded a crystalline texture.
Everyone noticed the change, including Xi Qing!
At a moment when people were unsure of what was happening, those growing branches encircled and targeted Xi Qing through the air, and in the next moment, rich Power of Life visibly poured into her!
Xi Qing’s body, which had already sustained injuries, recovered visibly at a rapid pace!
The pain was not only greatly reduced, but during this process, she could even clearly perceive that the refinement of her body by the Heavenly Tribulation hadn’t stopped but was proceeding at an even higher efficiency!
“What is this?” Xi Qing murmured to herself, her eyes involuntarily widening.
Everyone watching, including the bystanders, was staring in surprise at this change.
Only when a voice rang out in Qiuyue’s consciousness,
did she finally show a surprised expression, turned her head to the camera, and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, my elder brother has added a rule to the Heavenly Tribulations, allowing the World Tree and the Life Mother Tree to synchronize healing for every Tribulation Crosser! As long as you can withstand the Heavenly Tribulation, even if you are severely injured, it doesn’t matter!”
The next moment, the seventh strike of the Heavenly Tribulation descended, and everyone could feel the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, but at the same time, the Power of Life surging from those branches also suddenly intensified!
Xi Qing bathed in the Heavenly Tribulation and the Power of Life; her life’s tier was undergoing further metamorphosis, and the breakthrough had even begun!
However, her emotions were very complicated.
“This is simply cheating!”
Yes, cheating!
Xi Qing wanted to say that she didn’t need healing, as her Talent could recover.
But she also clearly understood that to have such a rich Power of Life aiding by the side during Tribulation, without diminishing the intensifying effect of the Heavenly Tribulation, the strength of this power was immensely powerful!
This meant that the enhancement she was enjoying now wasn’t just a privilege for a few strong individuals anymore, but was accessible to many more people!
“I was naive…” Xi Qing murmured.
Clearly, her initial plan had been completely disrupted.
People would not remember her performance.
The only thing remembered would be the cheating-like strength of Human Civilization!
And indeed, that was the case. As Qiuyue explained, the online comments, which had slightly decreased, stirred up once again.
“Can this even be done?”
“So strong!”
“Amazing! So amazing!”
“I was just wondering if there would be some elixir or something to reduce the difficulty; didn’t expect that even an elixir wasn’t needed!”
“Wow, I’m reassured now!”
“Life Mother Tree and World Tree, two guarantees, who else is there!”
“…”
Clearly, people who had been worried just a moment ago were now excited, including many strong individuals present on the scene, all of whom were showing surprised expressions.
Being able to heal injuries in time not only meant a significant increase in the ability to survive the Heavenly Tribulation, but also meant that the likelihood of dying under the Heavenly Tribulation was greatly reduced!
In this situation, the Heavenly Tribulation being more difficult than expected was actually a good thing, because it meant that the gains would also be greater than expected!
This undoubtedly gave people more courage.
Just as Xi Qing had thought, this was completely cheating!
But this was also a display of the strong foundation of Human Civilization!
