But where did they find the gall to attempt such a thing? They did it anyway. They succeeded, even. After all, the river of clouds in the sky was one of the Thirty Six Heavenly Stars Tribulations, the Supreme Primal Origin Tribulation. When a warrior becomes a Trueman or a Grandmaster, they must overcome the Seventy Two Earthly Fiends Tribulations. When a warrior transcends mortality and becomes a Sage, they must overcome the Thirty Six Heavenly Stars Tribulations. If they succeeded, then they would soar to the heavens like a dragon. If not, then they would perish and crumble into dust. Unlike the Seventy Two Earthly Fiends Tribulations, the Thirty Six Heavenly Stars Tribulations were equally potent. Every tribulation was the culmination of the world’s energy and the manifestation of the Great Way’s power. They all possessed boundless power. What type of tribulation a warrior would face when they became a Sage was dependent on their martial way, their mental state, their willpower and so on. For example, the Supreme Primal Origin Unbounded Tribulation Feng Qingyou just triggered was related to concepts such as Supreme Nirvana and Primal Beginning. Way wise, it corresponded to the Way of Supreme Nirvana and the Way of Primal Beginning. This meant that Feng Qingyou’s martial way could be tied to those concepts. It wasn’t a sure thing though. The heavens were fickle after all. This wasn’t important though. The important thing was that he had become Feng Qingyou’s stepping stone to become a Sage. How could he tolerate this? “You dare humiliate me so?” The Good Body was enraged. The Universal Benevolence shook once, and the whirlpool in the sky collapsed and fell apart. He intended to kill Feng Qingyou with it. However, Feng Qingyou was unharmed even though the whirlpool was destroyed. The Good Body’s eyes bulged with fury for a moment. Then, he turned away and left. Tribulations did not discriminate. If he did not escape now, it would strike him down as if he was Feng Qingyou. In fact, the tribulation might treat him as Feng Qingyou’s ally and devote the large majority of its power to him simply because he was powerful. This meant he would be assisting Feng Qingyou in her tribulation, and that simply wouldn’t do. He could get out of the range of the tribulation and wait for a moment where Feng Qingyou was fully focused on overcoming the tribulation. Then, he could attack her. No, that wasn’t good enough. He had a better plan. He could wait until Feng Qingyou had successfully overcome her tribulation before attacking her. For one, no one could overcome a tribulation and still remain in perfect condition. She would be a lot easier to deal with after she was weakened. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn N0velFire.ɴet Two, the Heavenly Way would bestow her its heavenly blessing and fortune assuming she overcame her tribulation. Judging from the strength and skill she displayed earlier, there was no way the heavenly blessing and fortune she received would be paltry. He could take it from her. This way, he would reclaim the Rakshasa God Blood and the heavenly blessings countless Sages dreamed of obtaining, effectively killing two birds with one stone. There was no reason to refuse such an opportunity. Assuming everything went well, then he would make a tidy profit out of this venture. It would be worth all the pain and suffering he had gone through. So, the Good Body grinned. He decided that it was fine giving Feng Qingyou this battle so long as he could win the war down the line. “Why hurry to leave, Demon Master? If you’re going to help someone, you should see it through until the end.” However, Feng Qingyou wasn’t going to let him leave as a matter of course. She summoned a jade seal and brought it down in front of her. Heaven and earth reversed, and space went round and round. The next thing he knew, the Good Body and Feng Qingyou had switched positions. He was now standing where Feng Qingyou was. If this was all, then he could have dealt with it. The problem was that his energies were somehow tied to Feng Qingyou’s now. He did not know how she had done it, but it meant that he was now a part of Feng Qingyou’s strength. “What did you do?” Livid, the Good Body tried to sever the connection and escape into space at the same time. But to his shock, he discovered that he couldn’t do it. In the end, his biggest worry had come true. The moment he slipped into space, the river of clouds swarming the sky immediately split into two. The bigger chunk was floating straight toward him. The Good Body quickly discovered that he could not run or hide from the river of clouds no matter what he tried. In fact, the river of clouds was getting closer and closer. He understood then that the Supreme Primal Origin Unbounded Tribulation had locked onto him. He could no longer escape. He did not know how Feng Qingyou had done it, but he knew when he was beaten. The worst part? This was the second time. The first time was when she used him as a stepping stone, and now she was using him as a stepping stone. Frustration. Indescribable frustration. He had lived for a thousand years, but this was the first time ever he felt this frustrated. He was so frustrated he was about to lose his reason. He made a crazy decision then. He was going to kill Feng Qingyou. Forget playing the fisherman, forget obtaining the Heavenly Way’s blessing, forget it all. He just wanted to kill Feng Qingyou right here and now! He was unwilling to wait even a breath, no, an instant longer. Frustration or madness wasn’t the only reason he decided to commit to such a crazy decision though. There was also unease. After all, the situation had exceeded his control and predictions again and again. It was inevitable that he would feel destabilized, shocked, and afraid. He also had a premonition that something bad—very bad—would happen if he allowed this situation to continue. That was why he didn’t want to wait any longer. He was just going to kill her no matter the cost. So, the Good Body stopped running away and charged toward Feng Qingyou. His aura grew infinitely stronger, and the Universal Benevolence emitted ten thousand halos that conjured images of paradise, and prosperity. The power traveled straight toward Feng Qingyou. Not only that, he told his Evil Body to abandon Ye Qing for the moment and work with him to kill Feng Qingyou. This time, Feng Qingyou did not try to clash against him directly. Instead, she turned around and plunged into the river of clouds chasing after her. The idyllic paradise and golden age of humanity conjured by the Universal Benevolence were instantly washed into nothing when they made contact with the river of clouds. The clouds might appear beautiful and frail, but they were the representatives of Supreme Nirvana and Primal Beginning. Supreme Nirvana represented the end of all things, and Primal Beginning represented the beginning of everything. Therefore, the scariest thing about the Supreme Primal Origin Unbounded Tribulation was that anything and everything no matter how great it was would lose its power and revert back to the state it was at the beginning of the world. Even the longest lives would eventually return to Supreme Nirvana and meet their end. The only way to survive this tribulation was to withstand it via brute force; to hold out until the end of the tribulation. There was no other way. This was why the Supreme Primal Origin Unbounded Tribulation was seen as one of the scariest and most impossible-to-cheat tribulations of the Thirty Six Heavenly Stars Tribulations. Although the Thirty Six Heavenly Stars Tribulations were all equal, their difficulty was variable depending on the warrior. The Supreme Primal Origin Unbounded Tribulation was easily one of the most headache-inducing and intimidating tribulations of the thirty-six. If the warrior lacked accumulation, if their willpower was lacking, or if their mental state was flawed, then there was zero chance they would survive the Supreme Primal Origin Unbounded Tribulation. The Good Body did not hesitate. He too charged into the river of clouds. In terms of cultivation level and strength, he was a Sage. He had almost never suffered a loss in his life. In terms of accumulation, he was over a thousand years old. He was sure his accumulation wasn’t inferior to anyone’s. Worst came to worse, he could not possibly do worse than a Half-Sage. Besides, how could he, a Sage, falter before this tribulation when a mere Half-Sage dared to face it? No matter what, he must kill Feng Qingyou. As he entered the river of clouds, the portion chasing after him rejoined its other half and became immeasurably vast once more, and the colors mingled with each other like endless fantasies.
