The Demon Lord Tribulation, or rather the Immortal Lord Tribulation, is the final heavenly tribulation on the path of cultivation.
Beyond this realm, there is no need to undergo tribulations anymore. Heavenly tribulations are merely a test from the Heavenly Dao for cultivators; success leads to ascension, while failure results in obliteration.
However, since the Immortal Emperor is on equal footing with the Heavenly Dao of the Great World, the Heavenly Dao is not qualified to send down thunder tribulations as a test. Therefore, after the Immortal Lord realm, there are no more heavenly tribulations.
Furthermore, the Chaos Grand Dao, which is superior to the Heavenly Dao of the Great World, does not easily send down tribulations.
Those who can attract the attention of the Grand Dao are invariably burdened with heaven-defying karma. For example, the Divine Calculator, who is currently in seclusion, has dodged three Chaos Epoch tribulations with his Immortal Emperor cultivation and heaven-defying celestial secrets. Even Gu Changsheng has to admire the power of karma he carries as the number one in the heavens.
As the final heavenly tribulation on the path of cultivation, its magnitude is naturally unmatched by previous tribulations.
The scope of the tribulation clouds alone occupies the sky, a dark and oppressive expanse resembling a universe. Thunder rumbles, and lightning snakes dance. At first glance, it no longer looks like a heavenly tribulation but a cosmic starry sky appearing above Yiling City. The shining thunderbolts resemble countless starlight, possessing a unique aesthetic beauty.
Yiling City is a super city in the Demon Realm. Although named a 'city,' its scale and structure are unlike the cities of the mortal world, lacking tall city walls.
Yiling City is actually a small universe composed of countless small worlds. Billions of demons reside within Yiling City, with hundreds of thousands at the True Immortal level. At this moment, these True Demons felt a powerful pressure. Those in seclusion emerged, and those creating demons were forced to stop and leave their respective small worlds, witnessing the terrifying scene in the sky.
"What is this?"
The Demon Realm has not seen the birth of a new Demon Lord for countless years. These demons have never witnessed such a grand scene. Their divine senses are greatly suppressed beneath the tribulation clouds, and their eyes cannot see the end of the clouds.
They only feel a dark and oppressive presence. Even these demons, who have committed countless killings, feel a sense of mortal fear.
"You, are you tired of living?"
Just then, a cold voice rang out. Yiling, clad in armor and wielding a long spear, appeared beneath the tribulation clouds. At this moment, she did not pay attention to the tribulation clouds but turned her gaze to the demons.
The powerful killing intent emanating from her, even when restrained, affected this world.
The demons shuddered. They were affected by the killing intent released by Yiling.
"May I ask, Demon King Yiling? Have the rebel forces attacked?" A True Demon mustered his courage and asked.
"No!" Yiling replied coldly.
"Then this is..."
"This is my Demon Lord Tribulation. Alright, you all return quickly, or don't blame me if you are affected by my thunder tribulation and die." Yiling's voice was still cold, and even her tone was stiff, but Gu Changsheng, who was hiding aside, could feel that Yiling cared about her people.
"As you command, Demon King!"
The demons had followed Yiling for a long time and knew that their Demon King appeared to be a cold, bloodthirsty demon, but a bloodthirsty Demon King would never turn her blade against her own people.
Soon, the demons returned to their small worlds. Yiling pointed her spear, and Yiling City, this "super city," transformed into a crystal-like sphere, appearing in the void.
"Senior, please watch over it for me."
Yiling looked in Gu Changsheng's direction.
"You girl, you're quite the commander!" Gu Changsheng chuckled, but he still protected the crystal sphere. His goodwill towards Yiling increased.
She is warlike, good at fighting, and likes to kill, but she still has her own bottom line and knows what she is protecting. He has a good impression of such beings, regardless of their race.
No wonder Yun Wuyue would have her assist Yun Shuang. Apart from the lesbian aspect, she is perfect. There's also no need to worry about his precious daughter being seduced by some blond boy.
The more Gu Changsheng looked at Yiling, the more satisfied he became. If she couldn't withstand the heavenly tribulation, he would help.
After all, helping once is still helping, and helping a few more times is just a matter of convenience.
Otherwise, if Yiling really had an accident under the heavenly tribulation, wouldn't his previous help be in vain?
Gu Changsheng never does things for nothing!
Yiling did not know that she had entered the sights of an invincible being. Even though she was very confident, she was filled with solemnity and seriousness when facing the ultimate heavenly tribulation on the path of cultivation.
"Buzz!"
An eerie and imperceptible wave spread, even affecting the outer stars. Various laws appeared in the void and eventually transformed into invisible mysterious forces, entering Yiling's body.
Yiling's expression froze. Her ice-like jade body visibly aged, and her waist-length black hair instantly turned white.
"The Five Signs of Celestial Decay!"
Celestial refers to immortals.
Gu Changsheng's eyes narrowed. Whether it was the Immortal Lord Tribulation or the Demon Lord Tribulation, it was different from other heavenly tribulations. The tribulation-transcender not only had to undergo the great thunder tribulation but also experience the Five Signs of Celestial Decay.
The Five Signs of Celestial Decay are the decay of the physical body, the decay of magical power, the decay of the primordial spirit, the decay of lifespan, and the final decay of the Dao heart.
Of course, there are also some unique geniuses in the world who can directly ignore the Five Signs of Celestial Decay.
Gu Changsheng did not experience the Five Signs of Celestial Decay back then, and he shattered the heavenly tribulation with a single punch. Furthermore, when his son Gu Sheng advanced to the Immortal Lord realm, he didn't even have a heavenly tribulation. This was related to his severing the shackles of the Holy Body back then. The Five Signs of Celestial Decay begin with the decay of the physical body. Since even the physique was severed, where would the decay of the physical body come from? Since there was no beginning, naturally there was no need to undergo the other tribulations.
Of course, the reason why Gu Sheng didn't need to undergo the tribulation was also due to the help of the girl's Xuanhuang Pagoda.
However, such existences are ultimately very rare.
Yiling's body became old and frail, which was the decay of the physical body.
However, Yiling had obviously made sufficient preparations. She let out a light shout, and her entire body almost exploded, becoming a bloody mess. At this moment, her weapon, the long spear, suddenly emitted a burst of light, transforming into a training, and the training then evolved into a demon fetus!
The demon fetus's blood energy soared into the sky, its vitality was vast, and it shook the heavens and the earth.
The demon fetus merged with Yiling's bloody body. In just a moment, Yiling returned to her youthful and charming appearance, and even her physical body was better than before. The tribulation force of the decay of the physical body constantly poured into her body, but it was suppressed by the tyrannical vitality of her new demon body, actually turning into the purest source power, enhancing her physical body.
Soon, the decay of the physical body disappeared.
"Interesting. The decay of the physical body, which originally would have taken at least several years, was forcibly overcome by her with this barbaric method."
Gu Changsheng revealed a smile and took a beautiful sip of wine.
And the second decay tribulation was about to arrive.
The decay of magical power, as the name implies, is when all magical power is lost when the decay tribulation arrives. No supernatural powers can be used, and one can only rely on the power of the physical body. At this time, the tribulation-transcender truly enters a state of decline, and it is also the most dangerous time of the Immortal Lord Tribulation.
The most dangerous thing about the Immortal Lord Tribulation is not the heavenly tribulation, but the human tribulation!
When you can only rely on the power of your physical body to defend against enemies, how can your enemies let go of this best opportunity?
Gu Changsheng had already prepared to take action. He had already sensed that there were several demons lurking outside the range of the thunder tribulation. Their strength was not weaker than Yiling's. If Yiling was attacked at this time, there would be a lot of trouble.
But just before the decay of magical power arrived, Yiling sacrificed a small pagoda and plunged into it without hesitation.
Gu Changsheng's eyes narrowed when he saw this scene. This girl was quite well-prepared.
