Immortal Divine Tribulation

Chapter 212 Sending Him Away

The faint, ethereal soul before them was none other than the Xuan Nu of the Nine Heavens! 

Everyone present was petrified, their eyes practically bulging out of their sockets. 

She was a supreme being, an invincible figure from ancient mythology, and now she had appeared in the mortal realm! They felt it was all too real.

“You, you really are the Xuan Nu of the Nine Heavens?” Zi Ying clasped her small hands together, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she stared at the woman before her.

“It’s me…” Looking at the adorable girl, the Xuan Nu of the Nine Heavens paused slightly, then spoke softly.

“That’s wonderful! She really exists! She really exists! I’ve finally met you!” Zi Ying was overjoyed, jumping up and down. Then, seemingly realizing her mistake, she said weakly, “I’m sorry, I… I was just too happy, so…”

“It’s alright…” The Xuan Nu of the Nine Heavens looked at her softly, clearly fond of the lovely girl before her. Her soul shimmered, and she pointed forward, a wisp of silver light entering Zi Ying’s brow.

“What is this?” Zi Ying exclaimed, looking at her hands.

“Try to understand these minor techniques; they’ll be useful,” she said softly, clearly fond of the lovely woman before her, who reminded her of her own childhood.

“Thank you…” Zi Ying said excitedly, overjoyed, and was about to step forward when a violent sound erupted from the screen.

A terrifying wave emanated from it, and the man’s body radiated divine light, with streams as thick as mountains cascading down like waterfalls. The sight was horrifying; the group felt their souls shatter. The energy was terrifying; destroying the Divine Martial Continent would be no difficult task for this man.

“Enough talk, attack!”

Another cold voice rang out from the screen, a flash of dark light appearing as a beam of destructive light shot towards the woman. Countless red rays intertwined to form a massive net. At the same time, the person wielding the demonic spear moved, its tip piercing the heavens, causing countless stars to tremble and numerous spatial black holes to appear. On her shoulder, a small white fox shimmered with a faint light, instantly magnifying tens of thousands of times, standing in front of her. Behind it, nine enormous tails swayed gently, causing the heavens and earth to tremble—this was a celestial fox.

Behind her, the woman in the scene wore an expression of utter worry. Just as the two had said, normally she could look down upon all the heavens and realms, destroying a star with a wave of her hand. But now, having given birth, her power had been reduced to its lowest point, making her truly unable to contend with these two.

“Pfft…” 

“Pfft…”

Blood splattered everywhere, falling like a torrential downpour. Countless stars trembled simultaneously. The blood resembled the most terrifying energy, having destroyed countless lives. Lightning flashed and thunder roared, crimson clouds of tribulation stretched across the sky, and blood continued to fall from the heavens, truly like a thunderstorm. The cries of ghosts and demons echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

It was a breathtaking scene. 

The two were so powerful and terrifying that they had gained the approval of heaven and earth. Their life and death were felt by the Great Dao, resulting in such an extraordinary phenomenon.

In the terrifying flash of lightning, a towering figure emerged, his back to the crowd. With a single punch—just one punch—two incredibly powerful individuals vanished into thin air.

At that moment, he became the sole presence in the world. Lightning flashed and thunder roared, and the wailing of ghosts and spirits continued, but Long Yuyun and the others could no longer look away, their eyes fixed on the man who had suddenly appeared in their field of vision.

At this moment, this towering figure was deeply imprinted in their hearts, causing everyone’s minds to tremble. Even the beautiful woman and the white fox trembled slightly. The aura he exuded was too powerful, like a sacred mountain, making them want to kneel and prostrate themselves in worship.

At that moment, he was the sky, he was the earth, instantly captivating everyone’s hearts! 

Gazing at that imposing figure, the Xuan Nu of the Nine Heavens trembled violently, her eyes filled with boundless tenderness. The mountain-sized celestial fox before her rapidly shrank, transforming back into a small fox.

“Xuan Nu, are you alright?” The man’s terrifying aura vanished. He turned around, his eyes revealing undisguised affection, plain to anyone.

Seeing the figure in the image, Tian Fan’s expression froze instantly. His body trembled violently, his blood coursing through his veins as if a mountain had erupted, golden light uncontrollably overflowing from his body.

Zi Ying and Long Yu Yun immediately paled. 

Tian Fan looked so much like the man in the image, almost like one person. The beautiful woman watched calmly, the white fox with respect, and the Xuan Nu of the Nine Heavens with tenderness.

“Tian, look…” In the image, the Xuan Nu of the Nine Heavens smiled, offering the infant in her arms.

“This…this is…” Staring at the adorable baby before him, this imposing man, who could survey all the heavens and myriad realms, couldn’t help but tremble.

“Yes, it is, your child, our child…” The Xuan Nu of the Nine Heavens wore a charming smile, radiant with happiness, like a little woman.

“Wah!”

Suddenly, the man jumped up like a child, cradling the infant in the Xuan Nu of the Nine Heavens’s arms, spinning him around in the air. He was like a kind older brother, his face beaming with an incredibly bright smile.

“Thank you, thank you, Xuan Nu, thank you for making me a father, thank you!” He happily hugged the beautiful woman before him, overwhelmed with emotion. 

In their arms, the infant wore a playful smile, its chubby little hands reaching out to touch the man before it.

This was an incredibly happy family, filled with an atmosphere of bliss. Everyone was deeply moved, and even Zi Ying’s eyes welled up with tears.

“Tian, can we…win?” After an unknown amount of time, the Xuan Nu of the Nine Heavens whispered in the scene.

Upon hearing this, the man’s imposing frame trembled slightly. Staring at the Xuan Nu of the Nine Heavens, he said, “I don’t know. It’s difficult… Perhaps we will also perish in battle…”

Hearing this, the Xuan Nu of the Nine Heavens trembled slightly. She knew very well how powerful the man who had always been by her side was; few in the entire universe could rival him.

“How long will this great war last? Our child, what will happen to our child? He’s so young! What will we do? Must he spend his childhood in bloodshed? Can he endure it? Even we might not survive. He’s so young, just born! Why, why did he have to be born in such a chaotic world? I don’t want that, I don’t want it to be like that!”

The Xuan Nu of the Nine Heavens was heartbroken. She pressed the infant’s pink face against her cheek, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Hearing her words, even the man fell silent. In this calamity of gods and demons, even someone as powerful as him might not survive. He had to fight for the gods, but the enemy was too powerful and terrifying. Who could protect their newborn child? 

“For the world, we can die, we can give everything, but I don’t want to, I don’t want my child to live in painful slaughter, even if he inherited the strongest bloodline of immortals and gods…”

“I just want him to live well, even if he’s just a mortal…”

“If we’re gone, who can protect him? Will he die with us…? No, I don’t want that…”

She held the child in her arms, speaking haltingly, not even knowing what she was saying herself. Finally, as if remembering something, she looked up at the man beside her and said: “Although…it might seem selfish, but could you please send him away from this timeline? I don’t want our child to live in the cruel war of the gods. He’s so young; it would be too cruel for him. I also don’t want him to perish with this era. I want him to live well. Even if it’s selfish of me, even if it means we have to betray the gods, I just want him to live well, to live happily…”

Upon hearing this, not only did the man fall silent, but even the little white fox changed color. Disrupting time and space comes at a price, and it requires immense power. In all the realms, it’s truly difficult to find even a handful of beings with such power.

In the real world, everyone trembled upon hearing these words. What was the Xuan Nu of the Nine Heavens saying? Such an action was too heaven-defying, intolerable to heaven and earth. Reversing time and space is not something anyone can do; doing so would result in annihilation of body and soul.

But what they cared about most was the Xuan Nu’s love for her child. The legend was true; separation from one’s flesh and blood was an unbearable tragedy for a new mother. Yet, for him, she was willing to endure this pain. Even Long Yuyun couldn’t help but shed tears.

In the scene, the man gazed into the deepest part of the starry sky, a faint golden light swirling in his eyes. Looking at the child in his arms, at the woman he loved so deeply, he finally nodded.

“Thank you, thank you, Tian!”

The Nine Heavens Xuan Nu sobbed, tears streaming down her face. Looking at the adorable infant in her arms, she choked out, “My child, my child, I hope you can live an ordinary life. Even as a mortal, you must live well…”

“Let all the sins fall upon me. Now… I strip you of your power as a deity…”

She whispered, then her jade hand descended, and a faint Five Elements Divine Diagram appeared high in the sky, slowly rotating, gradually falling towards the infant in her arms and disappearing into his body.

“Alright, I’m starting!”

The man gave the infant a deep look, then his hands moved. Golden divine runes appeared, causing spacetime to tremble, the stars to tremble, and countless worlds to tremble.

Boom…

A tremendous thunderclap resounded. 

The Heavens sensed this and wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen. Tens of thousands of purple-gold lightning bolts descended, their power shaking the very soul. Those arcs of electricity could easily destroy countless great worlds.

Faced with such divine punishment, the man coldly snorted. He made no unnecessary movements, simply throwing a punch upwards. Blazing golden light pierced through the air, utterly destroying everything in its path. His cultivation was heaven-defying; he directly shattered the thousands of lightning bolts, creating a spatial tunnel within, shimmering with dazzling silver light, captivating all who beheld it.

“Bai Hu, may I ask you a favor?” the Xuan Nu of the Nine Heavens asked the white fox.

“Miss, please tell me. Whatever it is, this little fox will grant your request,” the white celestial fox said, transformed into a woman.

“Take him away. Don’t teach him cultivation, and don’t tell him about his past. Just let him be an ordinary person,” the Xuan Nu of the Nine Heavens whispered, tears streaming down her face.

“Yes, Miss, Little Hu will definitely not disappoint you…” The woman, disguised as a white fox, took the infant from the Xuan Nu of the Nine Heavens’s arms. Though her face was full of reluctance, she resolutely walked towards the Gate of Time and Space.

“Waaah…” As if sensing that its parents were about to leave, the infant in its swaddling clothes cried loudly.

“My child, my child…”

The Xuan Nu of the Nine Heavens wept bitterly. The tears she had been holding back finally burst forth. Her frail body trembled violently. She had only just become a mother, and after only a short time with her child, they were to be separated forever. How could she not be heartbroken? How could she not be sad? This was a veiled severing of their mother-child bond. How could she accept such a cruel thing so easily? 

“Little Tian, ​​what’s wrong? What’s wrong with you?” Zi Ying exclaimed, her eyes brimming with tears. She gently shook the man kneeling on the ground. 

Seeing this scene, Tian Fan’s godlike physique trembled uncontrollably. His right hand clutched his chest, and he gasped for breath, feeling a heart-wrenching pain.

“Go, go…” In the scene, the Xuan Nu of the Nine Heavens finally hardened her heart and pushed the white fox and the infant in her arms into the time-space tunnel.

Boom…

Suddenly, an incredibly terrifying aura erupted, shattering the heavens and earth. 

An incomparably grand voice resounded throughout the heavens: “What do you intend to send away?”

An incomparably majestic voice rang out, and divine light pierced down. An incredibly tall figure traversed time and space, arriving. The man beside the Xuan Nu of the Nine Heavens looked grave and immediately stepped forward, blocking the figure. The two fought a fierce battle in the heavens, unleashing countless divine laws, destroying countless stars.

“A time-space tunnel? You want to send away the variables? Do you want to defy the laws of nature?!”

Another majestic voice rang out, and a beam of destructive light crashed down from the eternal unknown, rushing towards the not-yet-fully-closed time-space tunnel. 

The man was shocked; he was entangled by his enemy, an unimaginably powerful foe who had actually managed to stop him.
