Immortal Divine Tribulation

Chapter 197: Forceful

Accompanied by a deafening roar, a dazzling golden sword light shot down from the sky, instantly shattering the solid Sacred Altar. A massive chasm extended far and wide, sending Shen Yinan and the group behind him flying, blood spewing from their mouths.

The crowd was thrown into chaos, their faces filled with horror. The heirs of the two great martial arts sanctuaries were getting married here, and no one expected someone would dare to crash in and cause trouble, using such terrifying power. This was a grave disrespect.

“Don’t be afraid, we’re here; you won’t be harmed.” Just as Murong Qiu was still in shock, a purple figure appeared beside her, gently taking her hand.

“Who are you?” Looking at the stunning woman supporting her, Murong Qiu asked dazedly, her jade-like cheeks stained with tears, resembling a little kitten, which made Zi Ying feel a pang of heartache.

“Look over there!”

Zi Ying smiled at her and pointed ahead. In the center of the Sacred Altar, a white figure stood with its back to them, facing all the people from the two great sanctuaries.

“Miss, are you alright!” From behind, Mu Yi rushed over from a distance, extremely excited. Thankfully, they arrived in time; otherwise, Murong Qiu might have been taken away by the people of the Divine Brilliance Dynasty.

“Qiu Qiu, don’t cry; we’ll protect you!”

A tender voice rang out as Little Phoenix descended from the sky, its palm-sized body standing in front of Murong Qiu, using its colorful wings to wipe away her tears. Ahead, Tian Fan’s figure appeared so tall, with a little dragon perched on his head, waving its tiny claws at her.

“Little Dragon, good boy, you all… wuwu…”

It was as if she saw her closest family, and she squatted down, hugging Little Phoenix and crying loudly. All the grievances she had endured over the years erupted at that moment, her tears flowing like wild horses, unstoppable.

“Bold! Who dares to…”

Murong Fu’s furious voice rang out, but when he saw the Little Phoenix in Murong Qiu’s arms, he swallowed the words that were about to escape his lips. He had nearly lost his life last time and knew well how terrifying that colorful little bird was.

“It’s him, the Son of God!”

“What? It’s that great demon!”

Someone below, with keen eyes, recognized Tian Fan’s appearance and exclaimed. During the battle at Windwood Ridge, this person had slaughtered nearly a hundred strong members of the Sword Immortal Sect, including two Immortal Ascension Experts, leaving a river of blood behind. His infamous name spread throughout the Five Great Domains, known to all.

In the distance, Murong Qiu’s father had a mixed expression of worry and joy as he stared at the white-clad youth in the arena.

“Why do you invade my Murong family and obstruct our marriage alliance with the Divine Brilliance Dynasty?” One elder on the Sacred Altar spoke flatly, fully aware that this person was not someone to offend.

“Marriage alliance? What a joke! Did she agree to this marriage? Are you forcing her into marriage or forming an alliance?!” Tian Fan sneered, standing alone in the arena, looking up at the five elders above.

“The marriage of children should be decided by the elders. Her father has no objections; what business is it of yours? This is our Murong family’s matter; it seems to have nothing to do with you!” one elder said.

“Him? Fit to be called a father!? You consider yourselves her kin?” Tian Fan shot a glance at the middle-aged man in green from afar, causing his face to flush with shame. He wanted to say something but ultimately held back; as a father, he truly was a failure.

“Son of God, don’t go too far. This is the Southern Domain; do you want to interfere in the matters of my Divine Brilliance Dynasty? Do you wish to become our enemy?!” Another elder stepped forward coldly, a terrifying aura spreading out, shaking the Void and causing the crowd below to tremble in fear.

As practitioners of the Southern Domain, they deeply understood the terrifying nature of the Divine Brilliance Dynasty, where experts were like clouds, possessing several Divine Weapons, and even ancient relics passed down through generations. Such a great legacy was undoubtedly fearsome, enough to make anyone wary, but today they were destined to lose face.

“Too far? I’ll go too far today; what can you do about it?!” Tian Fan sneered, completely unconcerned about their threats. After twenty years, he could truly feel Murong Qiu’s suffering, treated as a tool by her own kin, with even her father failing to defend her.

On the other side, Murong Qiu was still crying heartbrokenly, while Zi Ying continuously comforted her, but it was still difficult to stop her tears. Over the years, she had endured too many grievances, not much better off than Tian Fan.

“Arrogant! Capture him!” The elder of the Divine Brilliance Dynasty was furious, ordering the group on the far right. A terrifying divine might swept across the heavens and earth. These were the most powerful divine knights, their golden divine spears glinting with a cold light, as if they could pierce the Void.

Each of them wore a cold expression, saying nothing, only moving forward with their golden spears. The combined strength of the group was terrifyingly excessive; even some at the Initial Stage of Primordial Unity turned pale. They formed an ancient battle formation using secret techniques. Although their individual strength was not overwhelming, their combined power was astonishing, comparable to the Peak of Primordial Unity.

“The Divine Brilliance Dynasty is indeed terrifying; they even have such secret techniques!” Many people gasped, even several elders from the Murong family couldn’t help but glance over. Such secret techniques were truly fearsome, perfectly gathering the strength of a group to create an unparalleled expert.

Faced with such a battle team, Tian Fan was somewhat surprised. He had to admit this was indeed a divine technique that could seize the heavens and earth, but he was not worried at all. His expression remained calm, with golden divine light flickering in his eyes, and the Desire Without Trace quickly began to operate.

“Ugh…”

Screams erupted. The Desire Without Trace was an extremely domineering ultimate skill, almost impossible to defend against unless one was significantly stronger. Otherwise, there was no hope. A group of people was directly sent flying, the formed battle team instantly disbanded, crashing down into the dust, clutching their scalps and wailing, their eyes filled with bloodshot veins.

“Indeed, a demon king; he shattered a team comparable to the Peak of Primordial Unity without doing anything.” Many people found it hard to swallow. This was truly a Baleful Star, stirring up endless storms in the Northern Domain, and now he had come to the Southern Domain to wreak havoc, directly confronting the two great martial arts sanctuaries without holding back.

“Bold!” A loud shout came from the Sacred Altar, a terrifying pressure descending. The elder of the Divine Brilliance Dynasty reached out a massive hand towards Tian Fan, and the sky instantly darkened, the sunlight completely blocked. This was a technique of the Immortal Ascension Experts.

“Pfft…”

Bright red blood rained down. Some practitioners looked on in shock, unable to believe what they were seeing; an Immortal Ascension Expert’s hand was actually shattered by someone.

“A monster, a monster!” Someone below exclaimed, their eyes nearly popping out.

“You!” The elder who had attacked displayed an expression of disbelief. He was already a mid-stage Immortal Ascension Expert but had been injured by a small cultivator at the Initial Stage of Primordial Unity.

“Today, I will take her away; you better not obstruct me!” The cold words came from Tian Fan, shocking the crowd below into silence. In front of the five Immortal Ascension Experts, he dared to snatch someone from the hands of the two great martial arts sanctuaries. This was simply too defiant.
