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

Inside the Hall of State Affairs, Xia Zhaoyan's eyes were gleaming with golden light.

The Great Xia's auspicious dragon was clearly visible in his eyes.

His brows furrowed tightly at this moment.

"Ten years have passed, and our fortune has not only failed to increase, but has actually decreased significantly compared to ten years ago before the war began."

"If this pattern continues, without compromising the safety of the dynasty, I will have to restrict some of the functions of the Great Wall of Zhenshi in five years."

"Five years..."

Xia Zhaoyan suddenly stood up and appeared outside the hall in a flash.

Looking up at the void, my gaze pierces through layers of space to reach the frontier.

At this time, the two sides were still fighting on the frontier.

As you can see, the soldiers on the Xia side are still in high spirits.

Meanwhile, the morale of the allied army was visibly low.

Although each hegemon has only suffered a total loss of more than 200 million troops over the past ten years.

The quantity is not enough to cause serious injury.

However, this army of over 200 million is mostly composed of elite troops.

"Continuing to fight like this will actually do more harm than good to the Great Xia."

"A defensive battle would not allow the Heavenly Punishment Army and the Ming Dynasty Legion to fully utilize their advantages."

"Once I've completed my tribulation, I'll have to take the initiative..."

In any case, wherever the army is, the Great Wall can be extended to the occupied areas.

He then turned to Feng Bao and gave him instructions.

"Feng Bao, spread the word: I must prepare for my tribulation!"

"Ensure that there are no living creatures within a 500-kilometer radius outside the city."

...

The ten-year war had no effect on the Great Xia Dynasty.

The Heavenly Punishment Division and the Hall of Offerings were mobilized, along with the Golden Dragon Guards.

In just one day, the entire 500-kilometer area was thoroughly surveyed.

At the same time, news of His Majesty's impending tribulation began to spread throughout the imperial city.

The carriage carried Xia Zhaoyan to the outskirts of the city.

Chu Ling'er, the Moon Goddess, and the other women waited quietly outside the blockade.

At that moment, almost all the people in the imperial city also rushed outside.

Although they couldn't see His Majesty hundreds of kilometers away, their eyes remained fixed on him.

I pray for Xia Zhaoyan in my heart!

Xia Zhaoyan stood in the air, still dressed in imperial attire.

At that moment, he released all his energy, and in an instant, dark clouds gathered in the sky.

Gradually, the sky turned purplish-black.

As he gazed at the gradually taking shape Heavenly Tribulation, Xia Zhaoyan had a different set of thoughts in his mind.

"I have now cultivated my body-refining technique to the fifth level of perfection."

"After this tribulation, I will be able to cultivate the Immortal Golden Body Technique."

"It's just a pity that the exclusive cultivation technique of the ruler of a dynasty is still uncultivable."

Rumble!!!

The purplish-black tribulation clouds churned and boiled, and occasionally, through brief gaps, one could see the world of lightning stretching for hundreds of kilometers.

At that moment, a spatial gate appeared in the distant void.

Many royal ancestors, along with the late emperor and Consort Hua, appeared in the void.

Looking at the tribulation clouds stretching for hundreds of kilometers, even the most knowledgeable ancestors couldn't help but gasp in shock.

"Zhao'er was different from ordinary people who had undergone the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation."

"His tribulation range is a whole size larger than others of the same level."

...

Click!

The first heavenly tribulation finally descended.

Nine smaller lightning bolts guarded the larger central lightning bolt as they struck down towards Xia Zhaoyan.

He made no movement whatsoever; only a flash of light appeared on the surface of his body.

And so it stood firm in the void, enduring the first lightning tribulation.

boom!!

The lightning struck Xia Zhaoyan, but the crown on his head remained intact.

The scattered lightning scorched the earth, causing undeserved destruction to the plants on this land.

The scorched earth was now ablaze with flames.

The lightning tribulation that could ignite the earth was powerless against Xia Zhaoyan at this moment.

...

"His Majesty's physical body seems to have grown considerably stronger," Ye Gucheng couldn't help but exclaim.

These people were physically strong, but they knew just how terrifying His Majesty's physical body was now.

"Yes, our cultivation methods also take into account physical training."

"But ultimately, it's still not as good as His Majesty's body-specific cultivation techniques."

...

boom!!!

The second lightning tribulation descended, and at this moment, a layer of red light appeared around Xia Zhaoyan.

This is not true essence!!

All cultivators could see that this was a divine power born from Xia Zhaoyan's physical body.

Blood and Qi are like a thin veil!

Boom! More than a dozen bolts of lightning struck the hundred-foot-tall red blood energy.

The Qi and blood circulate freely, yet there is no damage!

Gradually, the lightning tribulation was devoured and obliterated by the blood and energy.

At this moment, the blood and energy that had been slightly dimmed became vigorous again.

The third lightning tribulation was easily overcome!

At this moment, the overwhelming force of the lightning tribulation had already been perceived by the various overlords.

Someone in the alliance then made a suggestion.

"Everyone, that person is undergoing tribulation!"

"They promised to delay the growth of the Great Xia, but they've already started their tribulation."

Clearly, they knew that delaying the war was a failure.

The question remains: should the Daxia people continue to develop?

Suddenly, a figure from the demon race stood up.

Its towering three zhang tall meant that many powerful human warriors could only look up at this demon.

"I think it would be better to send someone to join him in his tribulation."

"Heh heh, he'll be doomed then!"

The humans stared at the demon as if it were a fool.

"What kind of look is that from you humans?"

...

"It's nothing. If you think you can do it, then go ahead."

"Those Dragon Transformation Realm experts in Great Xia could kill you several times over with a single slap!"

"You really think you can break through their blockade!"

...

"Hmph, I think you humans are just cowards!"

"If they're unwilling to participate, then we demons will do it ourselves!"

...

On the Great Xia side, Xia Zhaoyan's fourth tribulation of lightning has ended.

The fifth wave is about to arrive.

His vital energy transformed into a straight column of smoke.

A hundred-zhang-wide streak of crimson energy shot straight into the sky, and in an instant, all living beings in the world could see this soaring energy.

The calamity clouds overhead churned and rolled, as if they were raging.

Click!

Dozens of lightning bolts extended downwards along the qi and blood smoke.

However, they seem to be locked up by qi and blood.

The further down you go, the weaker the power becomes.

Before even meeting Xia Zhaoyan, he had already been completely worn down by his vital energy.

This scene left the Dragon Transformation Realm experts of all the overlords dumbfounded.

Can one undergo tribulation in this way?

Forget about it, unless you have his physique!

...

"Our demon race's physical bodies are not weak either..."

The human overlords are too lazy to bother with the demon overlords; how could they be the same?

The sixth tribulation lightning descended.

Its power is much stronger than before, although it has overwhelmed the Qi and Blood Wolf Smoke Divine Power.

However, its own energy was also completely exhausted.

At this moment, Xia Zhaoyan flicked his sleeve, and a large amount of spirit crystals appeared, which he absorbed and turned into powder.

The physical body shone brightly once more, and this time, a dragon's roar resounded.

His vital energy surged again, transforming completely into a giant dragon coiled above his head.

He roared repeatedly at the calamity clouds in the sky!

The powerful dragon's might caused all the animals within the Great Xia territory to lie on the ground, heads bowed, too afraid to look at the sky.

Click!

The seventh lightning tribulation descended, and the Blood Dragon opened its maw to devour it directly.

Just moments later, the Blood Dragon opened its mouth and exhaled a plume of black smoke!
