As the middle-aged man and his people scattered away in fright, the entire area around the Golden Mountain Ruins was filled with dense lightning bolts. It was as if a huge waterfall poured down from the sky, but it was a massive lightning torrent instead of water.
The ground shook violently, and several mountains nearby were crumbled directly by the terrifying force.
This huge commotion soon attracted many practitioners from all directions. Within two hours, thousands of people arrived at the scene, including Qing Xiaoting and Tao Kang.
"What a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation. Who on earth has attracted such a thing?" Tao Kang looked at the scene in shock. He, a Divine Realm native, had never seen such a scene before in his entire life.
"Wait a minute… It's him?" He suddenly thought of Yun Lintian. If he remembered correctly, Yun Lintian seemed to have entered the ruins half a year ago.
Qing Xiaoting's eyes flickered slightly. She retracted her gaze from the lightning torrents and scanned the surrounding.
Soon, she saw many familiar faces from the Star Gazing Palace, the Azure Palace, the Myriad Pill Palace, and the Divine Thunder Palace. All of them were high-level elders of their respective factions.
In the distance, an old man in white, Xing Li, glanced at Qing Xiaoting and Tao Kan briefly and continued to look at the enigmatic scene. He was the third elder of the Star Gazing Palace.
"You're here, Brother Li." At this moment, another old man clad in black flew over. He was the third elder of the Myriad Pill Palace, Du Mian.
"Brother Mian." Xing Li returned with a smile. The two of them could be considered good friends.
"Do you think it's because of Yun Lintian?" Du Mian asked.
Xing Li replied truthfully. "We all know how heaven-defying his talent is. Except for him, there shouldn't be anyone who could attract such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation."
Du Mian nodded and said with a serious expression. "However, this is not good news for us."
A strange light flashed through Xing Li's eyes as he seemed to think of something.
"Brother Li, Brother Mian." At this moment, another two old men flew over. They were Weilan Zhi and Lei Yi, the elders of the Azure Palace and the Divine Thunder Palace, respectively.
Xing Li and Du Mian greeted them, and the four began to discuss.
"What do you think, Brother Zhi?" Xing Li glanced at Weilan Zhi and asked.
Weilan Zhi said calmly. "Palace Master told me to bring him back this time."
Lei Yi frowned slightly. "I'm afraid it will be very difficult with them here."
While speaking, he glanced at Qing Xiaoting and Tao Kang in the distance.
"Indeed." Du Mian nodded in agreement.
Although the four of them were at the peak of the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm, compared to Qing Xiaoting, who was known as the number one sword cultivator in the past, they were nothing. Not to mention Tao Kang beside her. It would be extremely difficult if they wanted to capture Yun Lintian here.
Xing Li suddenly said. "We should divide into two teams. Let one team distract them, and another deal with Yun Lintian."
He looked at Weilan Zhi and Lei Yi. "Among us, you two are stronger than me and Brother Mian. I will leave this duty to you."
Weilan Zhi frowned slightly upon hearing this.
Seeing his expression, Xing Li said further. "Don't worry, Brother Zhi. We will give him to you first. Of course, if you're unsatisfied, we can swap our positions."
Weilan Zhi took a deep look at Xing Li and said. "It's fine. I will distract them. You two better don't let him escape this time."
"Leave it to me. I have brought the Universal Cauldron with me today. Unless he has wings, he won't be able to escape this time." Du Mian said confidently.
"Don't underestimate him, Brother Mian. He's full of tricks." Lei Yi said with a serious expression.
Du Mian nodded and said nothing more.
"Heh. A bunch of old fogeys who never seen the world." Tao Kang glanced at the four and said disdainfully.
Meanwhile, Qing Xiaoting didn't say anything. She continued to watch the lightning torrents.
Inside the hall, Yun Lintian finally opened his eyes. As he raised his palm slightly, a metallic golden luster flashed, and his entire hand was covered with a golden metal.
Yun Lintian moved his hand slightly and nodded in satisfaction as he believed that he could grab any divine-rank weapon with his hand without getting an injury.
"Congratulations, My King. You have taken a big stride this time." Lauya said with a smile.
Yun Lintian got up from the ground and said sincerely. "Thank you."
Without Lauya's help, he might have died in Xing Chen's hand long ago.
"Show me your power." Hongyue flew over and said.
Yun Lintian was taken aback and nodded slightly. He clenched his fist which was covered with golden metal and punched the ground.
With a boom, a small crack appeared on the golden ground, and Yun Lintian's fist was fine.
Hongyue nodded slightly. "Not bad. You should be able to break any divine artifact with your full force."
The ground here was extremely tough that even a divine artifact could not leave a trace on it. However, Yun Lintian could actually make a small crack in it. This proved how strong he was currently.
Yun Lintian let out a deep breath and felt a newly gained power inside his body. He didn't expect that the Golden Mountain had actually allowed him to reach the eighth level of the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm in one fell swoop.
With his current strength, he believed that he could defeat Jue Kong within ten moves.
However, he needed to familiarize himself with it first.
"It would be great if Xing Chen is not dead. I can test my strength on him." Yun Lintian said.
"Don't be arrogant." Hongyue rolled her eyes.
Yun Lintian chuckled. Suddenly, he thought of something. "Right! Where is the Heavenly Tribulation?"
Lauya smiled and explained. "The Golden Mountain has another ability, that is, it can block the Heavenly Tribulation."
Yun Lintian's eyes widened in surprise. "Really? That is basically cheating, isn't it?"
Lauya smiled and said. "Why don't you look at it by yourself? You should be able to control this place now, My King."
Hearing this, Yun Lintian subconsciously moved his mind, and soon, a view of the outside world appeared in his sight.
