Become a king right from the start, beginning with receiving rewards from all the heavens.

"He's about to undergo another tribulation..." Xia Donghai clenched his fists tightly, his emotions incredibly complex.

He was several decades older than the other party and was currently only at the early stage of the Grandmaster realm.

The advisors and subordinates around him dared not approach the Eastern King at this moment, because he exuded an aura of tyranny.

Like the Eastern King, all the other princes looked rather grim.

In the Great Xia Dynasty, a Grandmaster was already considered a powerful figure.

In the military, he would be a general commanding an army of 100,000!

Xia Zhaoyan looked up at the sky, and then his mind stirred, and the massive true energy within his body instantly surged against the shackles.

A strange aura resonated with it, and the next moment, a muffled boom resounded.

The once bright sky was suddenly filled with a dark, ominous cloud.

The calamity clouds rolled and expanded rapidly, like waves!

Until it covered the entire military camp, this military camp, which could accommodate a million people, was completely shrouded in the clouds of calamity at this moment!

*Snap!*

Thunder roared, and countless lightning bolts streaked across the sky from the storm clouds!

Gradually, the dark tribulation clouds turned purplish-black. Xia Zhaoyan's heart stirred, and he thought to himself, "It has begun!"

The beings in the outside world felt the same way; upon seeing this scene, they knew that the first heavenly tribulation was about to descend.

Sure enough, a loud explosion followed.

A bolt of lightning, about two fingers thick, shot out of the calamity clouds and struck down towards Xia Zhaoyan.

Where the lightning passed, it ignited spiritual energy, evaporating the air and giving off a strong burnt smell.

Xia Zhaoyan stood in the void with his hands behind his back. Just as the lightning tribulation was about to hit him, he quickly clenched his right fist and swung it out.

There was not a trace of fluctuation in true essence; it was purely a matter of physical strength confronting the opponent.

This scene startled everyone watching.

Before they could react, Xia Zhaoyan's fist collided with the lightning tribulation.

boom!!

An explosion rang out, but his body remained standing motionless in the void, while the lightning tribulation fell around him like celestial maidens scattering flowers.

"Hiss... Zhao'er's physical body has become even stronger!" Emperor Xia couldn't help but exclaim, and Consort Hua, who was standing beside him, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Anyone can see that Xia Zhaoyan's physical body is now much stronger than before!

This made many cultivators curious about what kind of physical cultivation technique he used.

Throughout history, the cultivation world seems to have never heard of such a physical cultivation method!

"What an amazing physical body! With Prince Yan's current physical strength, he's probably comparable to an ordinary Grandmaster!"

Xing Wudi sighed, then felt immense regret.

How could I have been so blind to listen to those two idiots' decision and let Meng Zhou pledge allegiance to Crown Prince Yan first?

In his view, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the next Xia Emperor can be almost certainly confirmed to be Crown Prince Yan.

Although the five princes were outstanding and their maternal clans were powerful, they were not even in the same league as the current Crown Prince Yan.

At this moment, Xia Zhaoyan had already passed the second tribulation and was about to face the third tribulation.

It was still a lightning bolt about two fingers thick, but its color was a bit darker than before.

He still did not use his true energy, relying only on his physical body.

"My current physical strength is comparable to that of a mid-stage Grandmaster, so the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation no longer poses much of a threat to me!"

"It seems I can easily survive the first eight tribulations of lightning using only my physical body!"

Next, Xia Zhaoyan displayed his famous scene of easily overcoming tribulation.

The third lightning tribulation was destroyed with a single punch!

The fourth lightning tribulation was also destroyed with a single punch, but Xia Zhaoyan's body only dropped half a step.

As the fifth lightning tribulation descended, he still did not use his true essence. When this punch landed, those with sharp eyes noticed that the space through which Xia Zhaoyan's fist passed actually trembled slightly!

This scene stunned the kings. Who else could withstand the Heavenly Tribulation like this, simply pushing forward with their bare body without any defense whatsoever?

"This is the most boring tribulation process I've ever seen; it's as simple as the Three-Nine Thunder Tribulation!"

...

"Who says otherwise? It's making me want to try the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation myself!"

...

"Heh! You think you're Prince Yan? Try it and you might really die..."

The sixth lightning tribulation descended, and this one was noticeably thicker than the previous ones.

At this moment, Xia Zhaoyan's body trembled, and the surrounding air instantly rippled outwards.

The next moment, a golden light rose from his body.

*Snap!*

The tribulation lightning descended, "Good thing it came!" Xia Zhaoyan thought to himself, taking a step forward to meet it.

His left hand was clenched into a fist, and mysterious runes appeared around it.

His right hand followed closely behind, and his arm was noticeably thicker than before.

boom!!

First, his left hand collided with the lightning tribulation, causing the runes to explode and dissipate, destroying half of the lightning tribulation!

At that moment, his right hand had already reached the lightning tribulation, Boom!

The two collided, and Xia Zhaoyan's body trembled slightly before plummeting downwards!

The sixth lightning tribulation completely transformed into countless bolts of lightning that fell all around!

boom!!

Xia Zhaoyan planted his feet deep into the ground, and countless cracks spread outwards.

Bang! !

The ground exploded, and Xia Zhaoyan's body soared into the sky once again, standing at the same height.

At this point, almost no intact part of the military camp below could be seen.

Rumble!!

The tribulation clouds churned rapidly high in the sky, and then everyone noticed that something was wrong with them.

Xia Zhaoyan's mind stirred, and his voice immediately echoed throughout the surroundings.

"Everyone, stand back immediately!"

Without hesitation, Bai Yujing and the people from the Heavenly Punishment Bureau immediately flew backward.

Sure enough, the calamity clouds expanded again the next moment!

Emperor Xia frowned. The scope of the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation for Grandmasters in the past had never been this large!

He couldn't figure out why, and could only guess that it had something to do with his son!

At this moment, dozens of lightning bolts suddenly appeared in the tribulation clouds!

It looks like these lightning tribulations are about to indiscriminately cover everything!

Click!

Dozens of lightning bolts struck down at once, startling everyone. They had never heard of such a lightning tribulation, let alone seen one before!

Fortunately, Xia Zhaoyan only suffered one of the blows!

We successfully passed the seventh and eighth trials!

The ninth and final lightning bolt was completed, and dozens of lightning bolts fell together.

The entire military camp was completely covered, and looking from the outside, Xia Zhaoyan seemed to be in a world of lightning!

"Heaven's will, huh! So, if they can't handle the game, they just arbitrarily change the intensity!"

Whose Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation is the arrival of dozens of lightning tribulations, and these lightning tribulations are interconnected? In other words, I am going to have to contend with dozens of lightning tribulations!

"Trying to cheat, huh? Well then, I'll cheat too!"

"Come forth, Qiankun Cauldron!"

Suddenly, an aura of ancient times enveloped the vast expanse of space.

A round, three-legged, double-eared cauldron, seemingly made of gold and bronze, hung above his head!

The body of the cauldron is engraved with a mysterious Bagua diagram, while the bottom of the cauldron contains a Taiji diagram!

Time stands still, space freezes!

The minds of all beings continue to function, yet they are unaware of the passage of time.

With a series of hand gestures, Xia Zhaoyan cast a magic seal that merged into the cauldron.

"Refine!"

The Qiankun Cauldron emitted a dazzling light, instantly enveloping the lightning tribulation!
