Xuanhuan: The Empress and I Swapped Bodies - Chapter 133

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ye Wushuang swiftly dealt with those lightning creatures.

His speed was so astonishingly fast that it made people doubt whether this was truly a Monarch Realm tribulation, or if it merely resembled one superficially.

However, seeing the crackling lightning energy continuously swirling around Ye Wushuang, they were convinced—this was indeed a Monarch Realm heavenly tribulation.

Not only that, but it was a tribulation of immense power.

It seemed weak and ineffective simply because Ye Wushuang was far too powerful.

In the next moment, their suspicions were confirmed.

After tearing the lightning creatures apart and absorbing their energy, Ye Wushuang didn’t stop.

He looked up at the tribulation clouds in the sky, then took a step forward and strode directly into them.

This move shocked many, while also striking an oddly familiar chord with others.

“Haven’t we seen this scene before??”

“Yes! We’ve witnessed this exact scenario before. It feels all too familiar!”

“It really is familiar. I remember it clearly now—last time, he also walked straight into the tribulation clouds!”

“It seems his goal this time is the same as before. He wants to absorb the energy within the clouds. For him, the tribulation clouds are just a power source!!”

Since Ye Wushuang had entered the tribulation clouds once before, everyone could roughly guess what he intended to do next.

Even so, the realization was still astounding.

Even those who had never experienced tribulations themselves had read accounts of them.

Without exception, those records emphasized how perilous undergoing a tribulation was—a process requiring extreme caution at every moment.

A single misstep could mean total failure, unable to overcome the lightning tribulation.

But for Ye Wushuang, it was the complete opposite.

During his tribulation, not only was he not cautious, he was wildly aggressive.

Not content with shredding the lightning creatures, he now charged into the very tribulation clouds to plunder their energy directly.

Had they not seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed such a thing was possible.

Once Ye Wushuang entered the tribulation clouds, he vanished from the crowd’s sight.

They could only vaguely sense tremendous power churning within the clouds.

A solitary figure flickered intermittently amidst the roiling energy.

As for what else was happening inside, no one knew.

All they could do was wait and watch, anticipating the final outcome.

This period of waiting didn’t last long.

In just a few dozen breaths, noticeable changes became apparent in the sky.

The magnificent, towering golden palace within the lightning tribulation began to fade gradually.

It seemed to be under immense strain, as if being pulled apart, on the verge of vanishing from this world.

Alternatively, it was as if a powerful foe was steadily draining its energy.

It was hard for the onlookers to discern exactly what was transpiring.

The only certainty was that Ye Wushuang seemed to have the upper hand.

Soon, they watched as the tribulation clouds above began to diminish, slowly dispersing.

It appeared as if the clouds were announcing that Ye Wushuang’s lightning tribulation had concluded.

As the clouds partially dissipated, everyone finally got a clear view of what Ye Wushuang was doing.

They saw him appear within a Lightning Tribulation Heavenly Pool.

The pool crackled with rampant lightning, making it nearly impossible to approach.

But the interior of the pool was different—it was filled with Tribulation Lightning Liquid.

This liquid seemed like a deliberate gift from the heavens to living beings.

It not only contained immense energy but could also be absorbed effortlessly.

A single breath of its essence could rival months of cultivation.

Absorbing an entire pool might even equal decades of dedicated refinement.

Those fortunate enough might even achieve a breakthrough in a short time by relying on this energy.

However, heavenly tribulations were simply too terrifying. Most cultivators considered surviving the tribulation itself a great fortune.

Asking them to then enter the tribulation clouds to seek out the Lightning Tribulation Heavenly Pool would be no different from asking them to die.

Thus, while the existence of these pools was recorded in legends, very few had ever actually entered one.

And someone like Ye Wushuang, casually bathing within the pool, was unprecedented.

Witnessing Ye Wushuang’s actions, the crowd was utterly stunned and filled with admiration.

“Incredible! Truly worthy of being the prodigy that even the Draconic Bloodline Families joined forces to seize. Just the fact that he’s bathing in the Tribulation Lightning Pool already puts him above countless others.”

“Indeed! Moreover, by absorbing the Tribulation Lightning Liquid from the pool, his advancement speed will increase dramatically. I suspect it won’t be long before he steps into the Immortal Realm.”

“Body Refining, Cave Heaven, Dao Nurturing, Dao Palace, King, Monarch, Immortal, True Immortal, Celestial Immortal, Immortal King, Immortal Emperor, Supreme World Sovereign… He’s already halfway through the cultivation stages. With his talent, he’ll likely become a peerless powerhouse very soon!”

Once Ye Wushuang entered the Immortal Realm, he would instantly be separated from other experts by a vast gap.

Although the Immortal Realm was just a middle stage and didn’t drastically affect the overall path of cultivation, reaching it meant one was no longer an ordinary cultivator.

A lifeform in the Immortal Realm underwent a qualitative leap, with a significantly extended lifespan.

Upon reaching the Immortal Realm, Ye Wushuang would truly have the qualification to compare with other top-tier geniuses.

For true supreme powerhouses, the Immortal Realm was where it all genuinely began.

Therefore, many powerful figures viewed the current Ye Wushuang with exceptional regard.

Even without knowing his full combat capabilities, seeing him was like gazing upon a priceless treasure.

“Ah, what a pity we were too slow! Lord Zongzheng has already taken him as a disciple. Otherwise, we might have had a chance to accept him as our own student!”

“True. However, Lord Zongzheng’s status is clearly higher. Furthermore, becoming his disciple makes Ye Wushuang a junior fellow disciple to Her Majesty the Empress. If given the choice, he would undoubtedly pick Lord Zongzheng.”

“Regardless, he is a genius of our Divine Dragon Royal Family. He belongs to us! If we instruct the disciples from our faction to befriend him properly, it’s not impossible for us to gain some benefits as well!!”

The potential Ye Wushuang displayed instantly made him a coveted figure in everyone’s eyes.

This was especially true for those aware that he had reached the Monarch Realm again after re-cultivating, and in a relatively short time. They regarded him with even greater importance.
