Supernatural Insight Eyes

As Ye Qiu was undergoing the tribulation, he instinctively felt a sensation like a thorn prickling his back, rising around him.

The Emperor’s Shadow!

Ye Qiu suddenly realized that the Emperor’s Shadow had barged into the Heavenly Tribulation, and it was so close to him.

Its appearance here certainly wasn’t good news.

Sure enough, in the next moment, that feeling of impending danger in Ye Qiu’s heart intensified. With a flicker of emotion, the Emperor’s Shadow had already made its move against him.

A fierce and unworldly energy descended instantly, like a sudden deluge drowning everything on the earth; Ye Qiu felt as if he were suffocating.

This was an illusion, only because the Emperor’s Shadow’s attack was too fast and alarmingly powerful.

In an instant, Ye Qiu felt as if he’d fallen into an ice cave. Despite being amidst a tribulation, he could still sense the gap between the Emperor and himself, highlighted even more starkly by facing the Emperor’s Shadow.

And this was just a shadow avatar, not the real body.

"Die!"

The Emperor’s Shadow had come to kill Ye Qiu, willing to intrude into the Heavenly Tribulation to annihilate him completely; this strike contained a power that surpassed the heavens.

And to this, Ye Qiu had no way to respond other than passively endure it.

Seeing the energy of the Emperor’s Shadow about to descend on him, Ye Qiu realized there was nothing he could do; in the face of such power, he could not resist.

Even moving his arms became challenging.

This was indeed because the pressure from the Emperor’s Shadow’s formidable attack was immense, a hundred times more terrifying than the oppressive feeling of a towering mountain.

"Am I really going to die?"

Ye Qiu felt a touch of desolation; if so, he truly was unwilling. He hadn’t yet reached the pinnacle of martial arts, hadn’t found everyone, hadn’t saved the Dugu clan—he still had so much left undone.

He was about to die here!

Despairing, Ye Qiu felt powerless against the Emperor’s Shadow, whose expression was indifferent, seeming determined to kill Ye Qiu.

After all, he had risked being destroyed to intrude into the Heavenly Tribulation.

Ye Qiu did not resist, because at that moment, he lacked the strength and means to do so, only able to let the Emperor’s Shadow’s attack.

However, Ye Qiu not striking back didn’t mean he was definitely dead.

Because the intrusion of the Emperor’s Shadow had meddled with the Heavenly Tribulation, something intolerable to it. Once provoked, it would respond with a fierce counterattack, and even more terrifying power.

Boom, boom.

The Heavenly Tribulation turned into a giant celestial dragon, spewing out a beam of tribulation light, instantly extinguishing the Emperor’s Shadow’s attack.

Ye Qiu let out a temporary sigh of relief; fortunately, the Heavenly Tribulation blocked the danger for him.

Yet, in the next second, Ye Qiu’s heart tightened again, eyes wide in surprise as he watched the Emperor’s Shadow because it started battling with the Heavenly Tribulation.

"Even if it risks being blasted by the Heavenly Tribulation, does it still want to kill me?" Ye Qiu muttered to himself; the Emperor’s Shadow fought the Heavenly Tribulation with one goal: to kill him, Ye Qiu.

To achieve this purpose, it didn’t hesitate to provoke the Heavenly Tribulation.

Even if success was uncertain, this sheer courage was undoubtedly admirable.

Those daring to interfere with the Heavenly Tribulation hadn’t been known to survive, yet the Emperor’s Shadow risked such danger just to kill him; Ye Qiu didn’t know whether to feel bitter or amused. The Emperor clearly saw him as important.

"I want to kill, not even respecting the Heavenly Tribulation can stop me." The Emperor’s Shadow was extremely domineering, harboring ambitions that dared to challenge the heavens, overlooking everything.

One with such a mindset, probably none other exists in the entire universe.

The Heavenly Tribulation, provoked, erupted more fiercely, but the Emperor’s Shadow remained unafraid, proactively engaging, its palm bursting with divine radiance, clashing with the tribulation.

The void was collapsing, with various cosmic phenomena emerging around.

Black holes appeared and vanished, cosmic storms stirred and shifted, accompanied by wind, snow, rain, and thunder; myriad phenomena kept manifesting as the Emperor’s Shadow attacked the Heavenly Tribulation.

Woooo...

This region, shrouded in deathly energy, emitted the sound of martial wails, as if heaven and earth wept.

It was an ominous sign.

Suddenly, the Emperor’s Shadow halted, a look of regret etched on its face.

"Just a little more time, even this Heavenly Tribulation wouldn’t protect you."

"Damn, if not for that Dugu clan remnant sapping much of my power, this child would undoubtedly be dead."

Above the Emperor’s Shadow, a cosmic storm stirred, accompanied by flickering lightning.

The Emperor’s Shadow began to dissipate.

Dugu Xuanye had consumed the majority of the Emperor’s Shadow’s power, and the remaining force couldn’t contend with the Heavenly Tribulation, nor could it defy the rules of heaven and earth here, thus the Emperor’s Shadow vanished.

For this land did not tolerate him.

If not willingly dissipating, it might bring misfortune to the true body.

The Emperor’s Shadow disappeared, somewhat inexplicably, even Ye Qiu didn’t quite understand how the Heavenly Tribulation triumphed.

Nevertheless, Ye Qiu survived; though the tribulation was dangerous, it also offered a glimmer of life.

With the Emperor’s Shadow gone, Ye Qiu continued to endure the Heavenly Tribulation.

The tribulation of the heavens was not a life-or-death crisis for Ye Qiu but a leap in life levels, purifying body, soul, mind, and everything.

With each passing moment, the aura on Ye Qiu grew stronger, continuously elevating and advancing at the Supreme Saint level, infinitely close to the cosmic level.

And this growth only accelerated, never slowing.

Ye Qiu continued the tribulation, while outside Di Nantian unaware of the situation inside, noticed the previously turbulent energy within the tribulation now grew quiet again.

He could no longer feel the presence of his father, the Emperor’s Shadow, causing a shock within Di Nantian’s heart.

He thought of a possibility.

Involuntarily, Di Nantian clenched his fist, this damned Dugu clan remnant could still be alive even after his father, the Emperor’s Shadow, took action.

"I cannot simply leave. He is a target of our Heavenly Palace and a future nemesis. If I don’t kill him today, our Heavenly Palace will be in peril in the future." Di Nantian did not wish to leave, still wanting to slay Ye Qiu.

"If he fails to break through, so be it, but if he survives to enter the cosmic level, there will be a period of weakness. This is the best time to kill him, and this is my chance." Di Nantian did not dare to rashly intrude like his father, the Emperor’s Shadow, into the tribulation but he knew after passing through, there would be a weakness period, and he could kill Ye Qiu at that time.

Resolving on his plan, Di Nantian stood in the void, watching the vast tribulation rain before him, which now cascaded like a waterfall from the void, obscuring Ye Qiu’s figure.

Di Nantian squinted his eyes; if Ye Qiu could die within the tribulation, so much the better. Otherwise, only his actions could ensure Ye Qiu does not survive the tribulation.

The descendants of the Dugu clan were not ordinary people; once Ye Qiu successfully broke through, his bloodline power would inevitably strengthen.

This was what Di Nantian feared the most.

But now, he could only watch helplessly, hoping that things would develop as he wished and in the direction he anticipated.
