Chapter 435 – The Place Where the Quantized Tribulation Erupts
After leaving the Cosmic Dimension Matrix, Lan Xiaobu returned once more into the Void Divine Formation.
The divine source flowing out from the void fissure was gradually becoming fewer and was on the verge of disappearing completely.
Lan Xiaobu let his divine sense fall into the Divine Source Palace.
Inside, many cultivators from the Silent God Valley were present—today he planned to sweep them all away.
The Divine Source Palace had long been locked in by his Void Divine Formation, and the moment he stepped out, he would launch the formation’s crushing attack.
He felt no pity or hesitation toward the Silent God Valley people.
That place was nothing more than a den of beasts that casually refined entire Immortal Domains.
Perhaps, in their eyes, only their own lives were precious while the lives of others could be crushed without care.
In any Immortal Domain, a hundred million lives all meant nothing if they were in the eyes of such people.
Lan Xiaobu sighed.
In truth, Silent God Valley was no different from all the other places.
When it came to cultivators, how many really cared about the lives of others? For the sake of the Dao, exterminating an entire sect, a whole planet, or even an entire realm—it wasn’t unusual.
Even if he killed again and again, he was certain he could never wipe them out completely.
If not for these selfish, self-serving types, how would the Immortal World’s Quantized Tribulation even exist? Just imagine—if a tribulation powerful enough to inflict tremendous damage upon the Divine Realm were to be diverted to the Immortal World, how simple could that be?
Unless he were the ruler of this universe, he could never stop such events from continuing.
That was clearly an unrealistic expectation.
Shaking his head, Lan Xiaobu was about to leave the void formation when his gaze suddenly fixed on something.
He walked to the edge of the void fissure and placed his hand against it, closing his eyes.
After a long while, Lan Xiaobu opened his eyes.
He was certain that the fissure had expanded a little compared to when he had first entered.
Although the expansion was so slight that it could barely be detected by the naked eye, it was an expansion nonetheless.
Slowly, his divine sense seeped into the fissure; when it reached tens of thousands of miles inside, it was as if his divine sense had been ensnared by an endless, vast and violent aura, disappearing in a heartbeat.
Lan Xiaobu retracted his divine sense, his face growing a little pale.
In that suffocating aura he felt a sense of destruction—a merciless, complete annihilation…
A thought involuntarily sprang from his mind: this was definitely the precursor to the Quantized Tribulation.
Taking several steps back, Lan Xiaobu finally understood where the tribulation originated—right in this void fissure of Silent God Valley.
As the fissure became longer and larger, that aura of destruction would eventually break through the boundaries and grind the entire Immortal World into fragments.
“This truly is man-made…” Lan Xiaobu murmured to himself while staring at the narrow, elongated fissure.
He could even guess that across the fissure lay arrays—great formations that carried the tribulation energy from the previous realm through this split, and then turned around to destroy the Immortal World.
He wondered if placing the Heavenly Gang Formation Disk at this very spot might be able to block the tribulation.
But the moment the thought came into his mind, he shook his head.
There was no way it could stop it.
The tribulation when it erupts is far too magnificent and vast; how could even a Heavenly Gang Formation Disk possibly hold it back?
When the tribulation spreads into the Immortal World, the boundless space of the realm will naturally weaken the tribulation’s destructive force.
In other words, the sharp edge of the tribulation’s first wave would have dissipated; only then could the Heavenly Gang Formation Disk help protect parts of the Immortal Domain.
Though he was about to leave this place, Lan Xiaobu decided to set up some warning formations here.
Once the tribulation arrived, he could sense it in time and prepare accordingly.
……
“Valued Master of the Valley, the divine source aura has dissipated—it’s been less than ten years now. I wonder what has happened?” an Elder of the Immortal Emperor level stood up.
Even though it hadn’t been ten years, those inside the Divine Source Palace had reaped considerable gains.
Supreme Elder Wang Xuan also stood up.
In his heart he felt a tinge of regret—he was just one step away.
If he could cultivate for just one more year, he had a very high chance of stepping into the Divine Realm.
“Elder Wang, I feel this opening of the divine source is rather strange. Initially, the divine source aura seemed a bit weaker than before, and then it grew much stronger—seemingly even more potent than usual. In the last few years, however, it began to weaken. This pattern is completely different from what we have seen before,” said the Valley Master, Shen Yi.
The palace fell quiet.
In truth, everyone could feel something was different.
Now that Shen Yi had spoken out, everyone shared his view.
At the same time, they recalled that when the divine source had opened, there were those who sensed an outsider had entered the Divine Source Palace—but in the end, no one had managed to figure out who it was.
“I still firmly believe my view: someone from outside must have entered the Abyssal Palace. Moreover, he used the divine source here to cultivate,” Shen Yi continued.
Wang Xuan nodded.
He was just about to speak when a sudden voice rang out, “Not a bad insight. I did indeed enter many years ago. You must be the Valley Master of Silent God Valley? I have a question for you—what is the deal with Cai Shang?”
At the sound of this voice, everyone instinctively deployed their flying treasures, all eyes sharply fixed on the source of the sound.
Soon, they saw Lan Xiaobu.
He stood in the void directly above them, holding a long halberd in his hand, as though he had just passed through the area casually.
Nobody dared act first; none here were fools.
Lan Xiaobu had set up a Ninth-Level Void Entrapment Slaughter Immortal Formation with void stones.
Even one person could hold back over a hundred Immortal Court Kings from Immortal Domains and many half-divine Immortal Emperors without them daring to move.
Now that Lan Xiaobu appeared above the Divine Source Palace, it was clear that without the void Immortal Formation he had set up, they wouldn’t be able to stand on their own.
Regardless of whether Lan Xiaobu would be killed by Silent God Valley or not, one thing was certain: whoever made the first move would be the first to die.
If Lan Xiaobu could not even dispatch the one who struck first, then he wouldn’t have the reputation he now possessed, and he certainly wouldn’t dare to stand so openly above the Divine Source Palace.
“Five Universe King, our Silent God Valley has no enmity with the Five Universe Immortal World, nor do we bear any grudges against you. So why must you be so aggressive?” Shen Yi exhaled and said to Lan Xiaobu.
At the same time, he transmitted a message to Wang Xuan, “Elder Wang, can you tell from the void Immortal Formation?”
Wang Xuan was the only person in Silent God Valley who had any understanding of void formations.
Although he couldn’t deploy high-grade void Immortal Formations, he could generally sense them.
Wang Xuan didn’t answer Shen Yi’s question immediately—he was busy searching the void for even the slightest clue.
“I just spoke to you—why are you dodging my question?” Lan Xiaobu’s face darkened as his tone became slightly irritated.
Shen Yi clasped his fists and replied, “Cai Shang did indeed leave our Silent God Valley long ago. He was once our strongest cultivator. Later, after committing an offense, he fled into the Annihilation Realm, and then no one heard any more of him.”
“Did he have anything special about him? Such as a unique cultivation method or a particular divine technique?” Lan Xiaobu asked again.
For Lan Xiaobu, he wasn’t really expecting the other party to speak honestly—he was merely asking casually.
If the other did not speak, he would immediately activate his formation to crush him.
Shen Yi dared not withhold an answer.
He knew all too well that if he didn’t reply, Lan Xiaobu would trigger his formation in the next moment.
Moreover, he was sure that the Divine Source Palace was completely trapped by the void Immortal Formation.
“Cai Shang’s strongest skill was teleportation. Besides that, he also practiced a divisional divine technique,” Shen Yi answered.
Divisional divine technique? Lan Xiaobu suddenly felt a bad premonition—there was a strong possibility that Cai Shang had not been completely eliminated.
“Five Universe King, our Silent God Valley truly holds no grudge against you, my friend…” Shen Yi began to say.
But Lan Xiaobu interrupted, “No grudge? Your Silent God Valley chased me into the Annihilation Realm, and you planned to refine the Five Universe Immortal World. You really think I don’t know?”
Shen Yi’s mouth opened halfway, unable to answer immediately.
Chased me to the Annihilation Realm? Are you saying that if you didn’t enter your Silent God Valley, you would have chased me down? And as for planning to refine the Five Universe Immortal World—this matter hasn’t even been carried out yet.
The key point is, how do you know that?
Lan Xiaobu’s gaze swept over the many Silent God Valley cultivators.
His tone carried a trace of murderous intent, “Your Silent God Valley is utterly heartless—refining someone else’s Immortal Domain. Could it be that in this Immortal World, only the cultivators of your Silent God Valley are human, while those from other Immortal Domains are not?”
“Five Universe King, surely there is some misunderstanding…” Shen Yi hastily replied.
While he was speaking, he was already communicating with Supreme Elder Wang Xuan and several other half-divine powerhouses, trying to coordinate a sudden attack to restrain Lan Xiaobu first.
“We have never refined any Immortal Domain…” Shen Yi’s words were cut short.
At that moment, dozens of beams of light suddenly surged toward Lan Xiaobu, as thirty Immortal Emperors attacked simultaneously.
Boom, boom, boom! Bursts of bloody light exploded in the void.
More than a dozen Immortal Emperors were ripped apart by the crushing formation—even Shen Yi lost an arm.
A sinking feeling filled Shen Yi’s heart.
He had not expected Lan Xiaobu to behave exactly as he had anticipated.
The moment Shen Yi uttered the words “we have never…” Lan Xiaobu had activated his void crushing formation.
And as soon as he mentioned “Immortal,” they all struck together.
It was clear that Lan Xiaobu’s intent was only to inquire about Cai Shang—he had no interest in finding answers about anything else.
At that moment, endless regret surged within Shen Yi.
He should have struck the moment Lan Xiaobu began asking about Cai Shang, rather than choosing to waste time by answering him.
Even though he knew that even if he had attacked then, there was no guarantee they would survive, he still thought there might have been a sliver of hope.
This terrifying void crushing formation—it didn’t matter if there were a hundred or even a hundred more Immortal Emperors from Silent God Valley.
As long as the enemy had enough Immortal Spirit Source to support his void formation, they were doomed.
Unlike Shen Yi, Wang Xuan’s heart sank to the bottom.
He was convinced that this was no ordinary Immortal Formation at all.
This surpassed even the highest formations.
If it truly had transcended the norms of Immortal Formations, unless they had a divine being present, they would all be utterly annihilated.
The closest one to a divine being was him; yet even in this void Divine Formation, he dared not move recklessly.
Just as Wang Xuan thought this, a spear-like glow burst through the void and reached his brow in the shortest time.
There was no time for Wang Xuan to worry about anything else.
He invoked his Frost Star Charge and, with a swift movement, even though he was seriously injured by the void Divine Formation, he had to escape.
