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

No one expected that the royal ancestors would actually appear in the world!

Everyone bowed and greeted, "Welcome, esteemed ancestors!"

Emperor Taizu Xia Wenwu waved his hand to signal him to rise, then looked at the condensing tribulation clouds with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

The next moment, he looked at Emperor Xia, "What exactly is going on?"

Emperor Xia gave a wry smile and shook his head. "Ancestor, I don't know either. Logically speaking, Zhao'er shouldn't be undergoing the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation!"

The galaxy seemed to swirl in Ancestor Xia Wenwu's eyes as he looked at the tribulation clouds and Xia Zhaoyan, his brows furrowing slightly.

Does Heaven believe he can threaten Him in the future? Is that even possible?

"Sigh... there's nothing we can do now, we can only leave it to fate!"

Even if I wanted to help, this is a tribulation!

By now, the commotion of the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation had spread throughout the entire imperial city!

At this moment, Xia Zhaoyan's face was grim as he looked up at the dark purple tribulation clouds.

He couldn't help but curse the Heavenly Dao in his heart. Damn Heavenly Dao, I'm just a little Karami, is it worth you wasting so much energy targeting me?

"System, could it be that your existence has been discovered by that damned Heavenly Dao?!"

[Don't worry, host. The Heavenly Dao of this world is rubbish; it doesn't have the ability to detect me.]

"Then why am I facing the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation?"

The thought of having to undergo the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation every time he broke through a major realm made Xia Zhaoyan wish he could kill the Heavenly Dao right now.

[Host, His intuition tells him you'll be a big problem in the future, so He's eliminating you in advance!]

"Damn it, do I look like I pose a threat to the Heavenly Dao right now?!"

"Damn it, this Heavenly Dao is trash! If you can't handle the game, don't play!"

He sent a telepathic message to the two women, telling them to leave the palace immediately, otherwise they would be in trouble if the Heavenly Tribulation mistook them for his accomplices.

Wanwan and Xuanxuan fought back their tears and left the palace quietly!

At this moment, Xia Zhaoyan was already planning to destroy his magical artifact to overcome the tribulation!

With the first level of my Acala Body now complete, I should be able to overcome this!

"Sigh... this tribulation has truly exposed all my hidden strength!"

"Damn the Heavenly Dao, I'll personally destroy you someday!"

With a wave of his hand, Xia Zhaoyan caused a ring of spirit crystals to float around his body, with hundreds of mid-grade spirit crystals floating around him.

The next moment, his hands changed, and he cast several hand seals.

The energy within these spirit crystals began to be released in large quantities.

In an instant, streams of spiritual liquid floated around him!

Boom!!

The tribulation clouds stopped spinning, and a lightning bolt as thick as two fingers descended from the sky!

At that moment, countless hearts nearly stopped beating.

The first of the nine-nine heavenly tribulations brewing from the purplish-black tribulation clouds was thicker than all the lightning tribulations of the six-nine heavenly tribulations combined.

The powerful figures outside believed that they would not be able to overcome such a tribulation at the early stage of the Innate Realm.

Click!

The air exploded, and spiritual energy ignited!

The entire backyard of the Prince's mansion seemed to be in a world of flames.

Xia Zhaoyan gripped the sword in his right hand, his gaze lowered, and sighed inwardly, "I'm sorry, Longquan Sword, you've suffered because of me, your master!"

The divine weapon possessed a spirit, and the Longquan Sword immediately emitted a long, melodious sword chant!

As if responding to its master, an unstoppable sword light illuminated the palace.

Xia Zhaoyan's true essence surged wildly into the Longquan Sword, and the energy released by the surrounding spirit crystals was also desperately absorbed by the sword.

At that moment, it knew that it was its master's hope for survival!

Swish! !

A golden giant sword, hundreds of feet long, rose into the sky, illuminating the entire inner city.

The next moment, it charged towards the heavenly tribulation!

"He destroyed his own magical artifact..." Grand Tutor Bai Wujin's tone carried a hint of regret, but more so, respect and relief.

"What do magical artifacts matter as long as we can survive!" the Grand Tutor exclaimed, despite some minor conflicts between him and the Prince of Ren.

Boom!!

A violent explosion rang out in the air, and the resulting shockwave nearly destroyed the entire palace!

As the light faded, everyone breathed a slight sigh of relief!

The lightning tribulation vanished, and Xia Zhaoyan was unharmed. It was a pity about the Longquan sword, which turned into dust and slowly drifted down.

At this moment, a large amount of spiritual liquid surged into his body.

The second tribulation lightning is about to descend!

With a thought, Xia Zhaoyan's inner armor transformed into a beam of light that enveloped his entire body.

This time, it detached from its master and autonomously absorbed the master's true essence and the energy of the spirit crystal.

"The world is about to lose another top-grade defensive magical artifact!"

An indescribable emotion rose in everyone's hearts!

No one can accuse Niou of being wasteful, but it still feels a little heartbreaking!

Click!

As the second lightning bolt struck, the inner armor transformed into a beam of light, emitting a soft hum, and rushed towards the lightning bolt!

Boom!!

A dazzling light enveloped the earth, and the lightning tribulation dissipated into countless points of light.

At the same time, the inner armor shattered into countless fragments that scattered with the wind!

The second lightning tribulation destroyed him along with the inner armor of the magical artifact.

No one cheered, no one was happy, because they simply couldn't imagine how Renwang would survive the third tribulation of lightning.

This time, a large number of spirit crystals were scattered around, and a large amount of energy was extracted, forming a ball of spirit liquid.

Xia Zhaoyan opened his pores and acupoints, desperately absorbing the surrounding spiritual liquid to replenish his depleted true essence.

"Sigh... I'm finally going to have to reveal my true form as Fudo Myoo!"

This cultivation technique is top-tier across the entire Tianhuang Continent.

The beings of the desolate world value true essence over the physical body, because focusing solely on cultivating the physical body is too slow!

After all, the Heavenly Dao harvests all the cultivators in the world every 129,600 years.

Everyone is desperately trying to become stronger, hoping to preserve a sliver of their soul during the harvest so they can be reborn and cultivate again.

Click!

The third lightning tribulation descended; this was the final lightning tribulation of the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.

The golden lightning tribulation was transforming into a purplish-black color!

Its diameter also increased from the thickness of two fingers to the thickness of a baby's arm, and the surrounding spiritual energy was completely ignited.

"Come, let me see just how powerful the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation really is!"

"Come forth, Immovable King!"

The next moment, mysterious runes appeared on Xia Zhaoyan's body.

His shirt instantly turned to ashes, and a wild aura emanated from his body, which began to turn golden!

His full head of black hair stood on end, making him look like a primordial god or demon resurrected from ancient times.

"Hiss... This... This is..."

...

How did he acquire the truly top-tier physical cultivation technique...?

...

"What a powerful body-refining technique! This is a top-tier technique that focuses entirely on cultivating the physical body!"

"Where did Zhao'er get it from?" Emperor Xia was greatly surprised.

Even the royal ancestors standing in front of everyone were shocked and their eyes widened.

Xia Zhaoyan's body soared into the air, his golden flesh rushing towards the lightning tribulation.

Boom!!

An explosion rang out, the light was blinding, and a figure descended from the sky, its feet deeply embedded in the ground.

Xia Zhaoyan's face was pale, and his golden body had dimmed slightly.

He looked up at the sky, where the surface of the lightning tribulation was cracked with countless fissures, like a spider web.

The next moment, a snap!

Immediately, the lightning tribulation transformed into a sky full of energy and began to descend, these points of light merging into Xia Zhaoyan's body!

He felt that his physical body and true essence had become much stronger!

The true essence is purer than before, and the physical body has also improved compared to before!

We made it through!!

Everyone was filled with emotion; it hadn't been easy!

"Congratulations to His Highness Prince Ren on successfully overcoming his tribulation!!"
