Xuanhuan: The Empress and I Swapped Bodies - Chapter 130
“I never thought the second bloodline awakening would also require undergoing a heavenly tribulation. It seems all subsequent awakenings will involve tribulations as well!”
“However, that’s fine too. Each time I experience a tribulation, it greatly benefits my cultivation!!”
Remembering how he had absorbed the tribulation lightning’s power last time, leading to a rapid increase in his strength, Ye Wushuang felt a thrill of anticipation rather than fear at the prospect of another tribulation.
If he were to experience a second tribulation, its power would undoubtedly be even greater.
The amount of spiritual energy contained within it was conceivable.
Therefore, Ye Wushuang felt no fear towards the tribulation, only expectation.
However, he didn’t urgently try to provoke the heavenly tribulation.
Instead, he continued to temper his realm, honing it until he reached the absolute peak of the King Realm.
Then, he stepped directly into the Master Realm.
The moment he entered the Master Realm, great changes immediately manifested in the heavens and the earth.
This time, Ye Wushuang didn’t even need to provoke the tribulation; the heavenly tribulation between heaven and earth couldn’t wait to descend.
In an instant, dark clouds gathered above the entire Divine Dragon Heavenly Palace, and a mighty pressure descended.
This pressure caused many people to look up in surprise.
“What’s going on? What’s happening? Why has a heavenly tribulation appeared again??”
“Is someone breaking through to the Supreme Realm? Why does this tribulation feel so terrifying??”
“Looking at the direction of the tribulation… it seems to be near Chief Imperial Clan Minister’s residence. Could it be that the Chief Imperial Clan Minister is directly breaking through to the Supreme Realm??”
Within the Divine Dragon Imperial Family, the number of top experts was countable.
Sensing that the center of the tribulation was near Chief Imperial Clan Minister Liu Ning’s residence, everyone’s first thought was naturally that Liu Ning was the one undergoing the tribulation.
This prospect filled many with great anticipation.
Most had never witnessed someone undergoing a tribulation to become a Supreme Realm expert. If they could see it once, it would truly be a chance to broaden their horizons.
On the other hand, if Liu Ning truly broke through to the Supreme Realm, it would be a momentous joyous occasion for the Divine Dragon Imperial Family.
Therefore, many looked up, watching and waiting for Liu Ning to appear.
At this moment, however, Liu Ning himself was extremely tense.
But he wasn’t tense for himself; he was tense for Ye Wushuang.
He never expected that Ye Wushuang, having just entered the Master Realm, would once again provoke a heavenly tribulation.
Moreover, the power of this tribulation was so terrifying that Liu Ning couldn’t help but doubt whether Ye Wushuang could survive it.
“Just what kind of bloodline is this? Why does a tribulation appear even for the second bloodline awakening??”
“Could it truly be the Primordial Dragon Bloodline? Is the Primordial Dragon Bloodline really this monstrous??”
Even someone as powerful as Liu Ning had never seen the Primordial Dragon Bloodline. Its true power had always been a matter of speculation for him.
The prevailing guess about Ye Wushuang’s bloodline among them was that it was the Primordial Dragon Bloodline.
However, the idea of undergoing a heavenly tribulation with each bloodline awakening was something none of them had anticipated.
This point didn’t seem to align with the legendary descriptions of the Primordial Dragon Bloodline either.
This left Liu Ning utterly perplexed.
“This… probably isn’t the Primordial Dragon Bloodline, but his bloodline power is definitely not inferior!!”
This conjecture was Liu Ning’s final guess on the matter.
Beyond this, he had no other understanding of Ye Wushuang’s bloodline power.
Fortunately, Ye Wushuang himself had a relatively clear understanding of his own bloodline power.
So, even if Liu Ning and the others didn’t know the specifics, it didn’t affect Ye Wushuang’s ability to undergo the tribulation or his cultivation.
As the tribulation clouds gathered rapidly, Ye Wushuang shot up into the sky, appearing in everyone’s field of view.
At the Master Realm, he stood firm in the Ninth Heaven, awaiting the descent of the tribulation.
This figure surprised many.
They never imagined that the person undergoing the tribulation this time wasn’t Chief Imperial Clan Minister Liu Ning, but a mere Master Realm cultivator.
Since when did Master Realm cultivators need to undergo tribulations?
This thought flashed through their minds, and then they looked back at Ye Wushuang.
However, this time, as they looked at him, they felt a sense of wrongness.
“Eh? This figure, this scene… why does it feel so familiar? It’s as if it happened before??”
“Huh? Now that you mention it, I find it familiar too! I feel like I’ve seen it before!!”
“We have indeed seen this scene before. Previously, there was a genius who also underwent a tribulation at the Master Realm. He was also very young, just like… just like the person undergoing the tribulation now!”
“What do you mean ‘just like’ the person now? They are literally the same person! The one undergoing the tribulation this time is the same Ye Wushuang who underwent the tribulation last time! I heard he was re-cultivating, but I never expected him to progress this fast, reaching the Master Realm again, and now facing another tribulation upon reaching it!!”
Last time Ye Wushuang underwent a tribulation, it was at the Master Realm. This time Ye Wushuang underwent a tribulation, it was again at the Master Realm.
How could others not find this scene familiar?
Those who weren’t aware of Ye Wushuang couldn’t recognize that the person undergoing the tribulation was him.
But those who knew about Ye Wushuang could tell at a glance that it was him.
Just like last time, he was undergoing a tribulation at the Master Realm again.
However, there was one thing everyone couldn’t understand: just what kind of bloodline did Ye Wushuang possess, and why did it attract a heavenly tribulation again?
Could it be, as those from the Dragon Blood families had said before, that he truly possessed the Primordial Dragon Bloodline?
As this speculation arose, many shook their heads repeatedly, unwilling to believe that Ye Wushuang actually had the Primordial Dragon Bloodline.
If that were truly the case, then what was the point of competing with him?
No matter how hard they tried, how could they possibly hope to surpass the Primordial Dragon Bloodline?
Therefore, they quickly dismissed this thought from their minds.
Since they were unwilling to accept it, they would simply act as if it didn’t exist.
Holding this mindset, they continued to watch Ye Wushuang face the tribulation.
The smarter ones among them, however, murmured to themselves at this moment:
“If you survive this heavenly tribulation, then I will trouble you no more in the future!”
“But if you fail to survive the tribulation… well, your days ahead probably won’t be so easy!!”
If Ye Wushuang survived the tribulation, it would itself attest to his innate quality and strength.
With sufficient talent, bloodline, and power, others would naturally be unwilling to provoke Ye Wushuang.
However, if Ye Wushuang lacked these things yet still occupied vast resources, others would certainly not stand idly by and let that happen.
Therefore, whether Ye Wushuang would be targeted by other talented disciples also hinged on his performance during this heavenly tribulation.
Ye Wushuang himself was unaware of this.
He waited silently. A full dozen or so breaths passed before the heavenly tribulation finished brewing, and Ye Wushuang’s tribulation truly began.
