Chapter 522 Breaking Through to Golden Immortal?
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
When Chong Sheng escaped, the Falling Star Empire also tried their best to chase after him."After them!"
Sun Yaoqing's voice was sharp, her figure cutting through the air like a streak of light.
Whoosh!
Dozens of guards followed behind her, their auras flaring as they pushed their speed to the limit.
But no matter how fast they moved, they were still too slow.
The traces of spatial distortion left behind by Bai Zihan and Chong Sheng faded too quickly.
One moment there was a ripple in space, the next moment-nothing. Gone!
Sun Yaoqing's brows furrowed deeply.
"Where did they go?"
A guard behind her spoke with difficulty.
"Your Highness... their speed... we can't track them at all."
Another added,
"They're jumping through the void repeatedly. We can't lock onto their position."
Moreover, after following the trail of Qi, they found a Teleportation Formation which made sure that they couldn't track Chong Sheng down.
There was no way for them to find the two of them who has seemingly vanished now.
A few more moments passed.
Then Sun Yaoqing slowly stopped.
The guards behind her also came to a halt.
Silence lingered.
Sigh!
"We can't find them. Even if we continue, we'll only be wasting time."
Then she exhaled slowly.
"We shall return."
Her tone carried a trace of unwillingness.
"But stay alert."
Her eyes turned slightly colder.
The guards nodded in unison.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
***
Sun Yaoqing thought that Bai Zihan should return to the Quan Clan territory whether he succeeded or failed.
Now that they had lost them, they could only wait for him.
Time passed slowly.
The sky above remained calm until suddenly-
Rumble...
A deep, heavy sound echoed across the heavens.
Sun Yaoqing's eyes snapped upward instantly.
The guards reacted just as quickly.
"What is that?!"
The sky darkened.
Thick clouds gathered rapidly.
Within them, lightning began to flicker.
Crackling with terrifying power.
Rumble!!
The air itself seemed to tremble.
A suffocating pressure descended.
Sun Yaoqing's pupils shrank.
"...Heavenly Tribulation?"
Her voice carried clear shock.
"Someone is breaking through!"
"To the Immortal Realm!"
"I can't believe I could witness something like this today!"
The moment those words were spoken, everyone's expression changed.
Immortal Realm!
That was a threshold that separated mortals from true powerhouses.
Across the entire Falling Star Empire, only a handful could even attempt such a
breakthrough.
Sun Yaoqing's gaze grew serious.
"Who could it be?"
"Could it be Elder Huang of the Imperial Court? He has been in Peak Great
Ascension for decades!"
"Or Sect Master Luo of the First Strike Spear Sect-he was rumored to be
preparing for ascension!"
"What about the Old Ancestor of the Wang Clan? He hasn't appeared in years..."
Speculation spread quickly.
Name after name was spoken.
All of them were Peak Great Ascension experts.
Individuals who stood just one step away from the Immortal Realm.
Rumble!!!
A bolt of lightning tore through the sky.
The pressure intensified.
Even Sun Yaoqing felt her breathing grow slightly heavier.
No matter who it was, it would be great for the Falling Star Empire to gain
another Immortal powerhouse.
Sun Yaoqing did not move.
None of them did.
The sky above had already turned into a churning sea of dark clouds, thunder
rolling endlessly as if the heavens themselves were awakening.
Everyone simply watched.
Rumble-!
The first bolt of heavenly lightning descended.
A pillar of blinding light tore through the clouds and struck somewhere far in
the distance.
Boom!!!
The ground trembled faintly even from where they stood.
The second bolt came soon after.
Rumble!!!
Crack-!!
Another streak of lightning fell, even more violent than the first.
The air itself seemed to distort from the sheer power.
Everything was still within expectations.
A normal Immortal Ascension Tribulation.
Then, the third bolt descended.
BOOM!!!
This time, the impact was far more intense.
The pressure surged outward like a tidal wave.
"I wonder whether the expert has succeeded?"
"I hope they did. It would be great for our Empire."
Everyone thought that it was the end of the Heavenly Tribulation.
That was how it usually worked.
Three tribulation strikes, a test of body, soul, and foundation.
If one survived, they would step into the Immortal Realm.
The clouds should have begun to disperse now.
The pressure should have eased.
But it didn't.
Instead, the clouds churned even more violently.
The thunder grew louder.
Sun Yaoqing's brows slowly furrowed. "...Something's wrong"
The guards also noticed it.
"This... the Heavenly Tribulation isn't ending?"
"Why is the tribulation still gathering?"
Then-
Rumble...!!
A deeper, more terrifying rumble echoed.
The pressure doubled.
Even Sun Yaoqing felt her breathing become slightly heavier.
Then-
Crack-!!!
The fourth bolt descended.
A blinding pillar of destruction tore through the sky.
Far more terrifying than the previous three.
Boom!!!
The ground shook violently this time.
Even from thousands of miles away, the impact was clearly felt.
Silence!
Everyone stared at the sky.
"...Four?"
One of the guards muttered, disbelief evident in his voice.
"That... that's impossible."
Another shook his head slowly.
"Immortal Ascension only has three strikes..." "Then what is this?"
Speculation began to spread.
"...Could it be...?"
One of the older guards spoke slowly, his voice trembling slightly.
"Someone isn't breaking through to the Immortal Ascension or Earth Immortal
Realm..."
"...but beyond it?"
That single sentence sent a chill through everyone present.
"Beyond... Eart Immortal?"
Another guard's eyes widened.
"You mean-Golden Immortal?"
Silence!
Then, a wave of disbelief.
"That's impossible!"
"How could such a figure exist in our empire?!"
"No... no... we've never seen such a tribulation before..."
"But then how do you explain the fourth strike?!"
The pressure in the air continued to rise.
The clouds above seemed endless now.
As if the heavens themselves refused to allow what was happening below.
Sun Yaoqing's eyes flickered.
Even she couldn't remain calm now.
(Could it really be?)
A breakthrough to the Golden Immortal?
Her heart trembled slightly.
If that were true, then everything would change.
The guards began speaking again, this time with a mixture of shock and
excitement.
"If our empire gains a Golden Immortal, then we wouldn't have to fear anyone!"
"Even the Desolate Heaven Empire would have to show us respect!"
Their voices grew more heated and more excited.
Because no matter who it was-
As long as they belonged to the Falling Star Empire-
It would elevate the entire empire to an unimaginable level.
