With a hundred thousand people, the scene is boundless and overwhelming.
At this moment, the Dark Realm indeed presented such a spectacle—far more than a hundred thousand beings gathered in the distance, watching from the void and the peaks, densely packed like a swarm.
The reason was simple: the commotion had grown too great. Several Heavenly Deities had turned ruthless, determined to kill Huang.
“Troublemakers live a thousand years—sure enough, he’s not dead yet!” In the crowd, the little rabbit clenched her fists, grinning mischievously.
The God-Slaying Stone hid in a mountain crevice, peeking out as it muttered, “Is this guy insane? Still daring to provoke several Heavenly Deities at this point? What tricks does he even have left?”
Qing Yi, Cao Yusheng, Chang Gongyan, and others had all arrived, though none revealed their true forms. They watched intently, tense with anticipation.
Not just them—everyone else felt the same. The oppressive atmosphere weighed heavily, forcing all to focus with bated breath.
“Huang, I truly don’t know if you’re mad or just stupid. Do you think a mere lake can stop us? If Heavenly Deities want you dead, not even a revived True Immortal could save you!” Di Kun sneered.
“If a True Immortal descended, a single finger—no, a single strand of hair—would crush you all to dust!” Shi Hao retorted with a cold laugh, still mocking them.
“Enough talk. Let’s finish him. There’s no need to waste words on an ignorant fool!” Ma Yuan’s face darkened.
“Old Ma, your face is as long as a horse’s, yet you’ve forgotten how I beat you up before—or how you fled like a coward, chased by mosquitoes not long ago?”
The more Ma Yuan tried to maintain his lofty demeanor, the more Shi Hao taunted him, digging up his humiliations until the old man trembled with rage.
“No more nonsense—die!” The Golden Ancient Elephant struck first.
The Ancient Ape followed, and then the Pixiu unleashed divine radiance.
In an instant, all the Heavenly Deities moved, invoking their Heavenly Laws to suppress Shi Hao.
Yet they were cunning. After attacking, they immediately tore through the void and fled, aiming only to disturb the creatures in the lake and provoke them into a frenzy.
Shi Hao’s expression darkened. They had turned his own tactics against him. Though the mosquitoes feared the aura on him, if they were enraged enough, they might still attack.
Heavenly Laws descended, causing the black lake to boil.
Swaths of mosquitoes perished, and the lake’s upper half evaporated into mist.
Shi Hao fled at top speed, not daring to linger in the terrifying lake.
**Boom!**
The churning waters froze as several golden Heavenly Deities emerged. Two Chaos Ancient Mosquitoes, eyes blood-red, flapped their wings, shattering the void.
The lake stabilized, no longer suffering damage. The most fearsome creatures, accompanied by a sky-blotting swarm of mosquitoes, emerged in fury, searching madly for their enemies.
“Run!”
Distant spectators screamed, faces pale as they fled for their lives.
Shi Hao also dashed away, but at that moment, the Heavenly Deities reappeared simultaneously, sealing the void and trapping him within the mountain range.
“Brat, did you really think we couldn’t handle you? Heavenly Deities have countless ways to crush an ant like you!” the Qiu Dragon growled.
“Why aren’t you running now? Killing you today will be as easy as squashing a bug!” Ma Yuan hissed.
“You dared to treat my Elephant Clan as food? Who do you think you are? Today, I’ll interrogate your soul!” the Golden Ancient Elephant roared.
Di Kun struck directly, a chain of order lashing out with icy contempt. “Fool who doesn’t know life from death!”
The distant onlookers sighed. Huang, too reckless in his youth, had doomed himself.
**Boom!**
A violent tremor shook the air as a sphere of light enveloped Shi Hao.
The Guardian Talisman activated again, blocking the Heavenly Deities’ assault.
“That ancient talisman is indeed mysterious, but how many times can you use it? We’ll wear it down eventually,” the Dragon-Sparrow sneered.
**Boom!**
Suddenly, the Chaos Mosquitoes arrived in pursuit, accompanied by Heavenly Deities and a dark cloud of insects.
The sight was horrifying. The Heavenly Deities paled—despite their lost sanity, the ancestral mosquitoes remembered their grudge and chased relentlessly.
“Go!”
They sealed the void, severing a section of space and vanishing with Shi Hao in tow, fleeing the minor realm.
The spectators were stunned. Heavenly Deities’ methods were unfathomable—not only could they tear the void, but together, they could carve out a piece of nothingness, carrying mountains and all.
**Boom!**
To their shock, the Chaos Mosquitoes did the same, instinctively wrapping the void and pursuing with their swarm, leaving the realm.
“Heavens, these mosquitoes hold grudges! Something big is about to happen!” a True God cried.
Everyone shuddered, sensing impending chaos in the Ancient Immortal Realm. Two Chaos Ancient Insects had left their nest to hunt Heavenly Deities—this was terrifying.
“Let’s follow and see!”
“Are you insane? You want to be drained dry by mosquitoes?”
“Don’t worry. They’re fixated on the Heavenly Deities. We’ll trail behind and flee if things turn bad.”
A crowd gave chase—there were always bold souls eager to witness history.
The Heavenly Deities dragged Shi Hao through multiple minor realms, but the mosquitoes never relented.
The Heavenly Deities grew alarmed. The mosquitoes were far more persistent than expected. Could one of them fall today?
“Attack now!” The Ancient Ape lashed out at Shi Hao, striking his Guardian Talisman.
The others hesitated, then unleashed their techniques, aiming to shatter the talisman, seize his body, and scatter.
The pursuers confirmed the mosquitoes targeted only the Heavenly Deities.
More spectators arrived, shaking half the Ancient Immortal Realm. Cultivators of all races gathered to witness the unbelievable scene.
“It’s over. Huang is truly doomed this time,” someone lamented.
Trapped by Heavenly Deities, relying solely on the talisman—it was only a matter of time before it broke.
“How did this happen? He’s trapped himself in a dead end. He’s really going to die!” The little rabbit’s eyes glazed over.
“Ah, why did you act so foolishly?” The God-Slaying Stone lamented.
Qing Yi, Cao Yusheng, Xue Lin, Luo Dao, and Chang Gongyan frowned. Shi Hao was in a hopeless situation.
Outside, in the Three Thousand Provinces, all sects witnessed the scene. Without using his immortal energy, Shi Hao’s reversal shocked everyone.
“This time, he’s finished. How can he turn this around?”
“Tch. Surviving earlier was a fluke, but against absolute power, what can a minor cultivator do? Provoking Heavenly Deities is suicide!”
Some mocked, relishing his downfall.
“If he survives this, I’ll slap myself for speaking out of turn,” one sneered, laughing coldly.
“He’s done for. No way out,” others agreed, seeing no hope.
The Netherworld Clan, Heavenly Nation, Immortal Palace, Fire Cloud Cave, and Celestial Clan smiled faintly, savoring their vindication.
Yet at that moment—
A blinding light erupted, stunning all.
“Heavens, what is he doing?”
“Can he still reverse this? Escape certain death?”
“He’s defying the heavens!”
Many screamed, even the Heavenly Deities frozen in shock.
Across the Three Thousand Provinces, cultivators stared at the immortal petals’ projection, disbelieving.
Many felt their faces burn, as if slapped again.
In a minor realm of the Ancient Immortal Realm—
Shi Hao stood alone at the center. No longer suppressing himself, he unleashed his full power, radiating brilliance. With the Thunder Emperor’s secret art, he summoned supreme lightning.
In an instant, a colossal thunderbolt connected heaven and earth, terrifying all.
This was heavenly tribulation—not ordinary lightning, but divine punishment from the heavens!
In an era without tribulation, summoning it was near impossible. But Shi Hao, mastering thunder arts, succeeded—though the forced invocation was far deadlier than natural tribulation.
From the start, the strongest lightning struck, piercing the void, shaking the land, its roar like collapsing stars, making ears bleed.
It was too violent, too horrifying!
No one expected Shi Hao’s desperation—to perform such a world-shaking act!
“Ah—!”
The Heavenly Deities screamed, faces twisted in terror.
The tribulation carried dense curses, drowning them like liquid, seeping into their bones.
Had they never suffered curses before, they might have endured. But after millennia of erosion, the curses now erupted fully.
“No, no, no!” Ma Yuan wailed as his legs rotted, flesh sloughing off, leaving near-skeletal remains in moments.
“Ah—! Get away!” The Golden Ancient Elephant roared. Despite its thick hide, corpse spots spread, decay rapid.
Closest to Shi Hao, it bore the worst curse impact, its golden skin crumbling, skull exposed, even its bones rotting like brittle wood.
**Boom!**
A thunderbolt struck its tusks, snapping them, blackened blood dripping.
“Too… brutal. What a waste of heavenly elephant meat!” Shi Hao, though grimacing from the lightning, still lamented the loss, infuriating the elephant further.
“Ah—!” Di Kun howled, his body riddled with corpse spots, flesh peeling.
All Heavenly Deities suffered alike—none spared!
“I refuse to accept this!” they raged.
“Heavens, Huang did this?” Distant spectators were stunned, disbelieving their eyes.
“He’s undergoing tribulation—using it to kill Heavenly Deities! Insane! Can he even survive this himself?”
