After Zongzheng Liu Ning and Ye Wushuang finished undergoing their tribulations and absorbing the Tribulation Liquid, they left and returned to the Divine Dragon Heavenly Palace.
What they left behind was endless shock.
Especially when people looked at Ye Wushuang, their eyes were filled with disbelief.
In everyone’s eyes, Zongzheng Liu Ning was already incredibly powerful.
He had managed to withstand a hundred exchanges against such a mighty existence; anyone else would have long perished under the heavenly tribulation.
So, everyone gained a completely new understanding of Zongzheng Liu Ning’s strength.
They also realized that the Divine Dragon Empire had gained another true pillar of support.
With such a powerful Imperial Guardian present, anyone who thought of making a move against the Divine Dragon Empire would have to think twice.
However, it was Ye Wushuang’s tribulation that truly shocked them afterward.
Ye Wushuang’s tribulation was countless times more powerful than Zongzheng Liu Ning’s.
Whether it was the Heavenly River Water, Marshal Tian Peng, or the one hundred thousand heavenly soldiers, any one of them could crush those powerful Sovereign Realm experts.
Especially Marshal Tian Peng; his terrifying power was enough to kill a Sovereign Realm expert with a single strike.
Yet, under such circumstances, Ye Wushuang fought three forces at once and, relying on his own strength, overcame what seemed like an impossible tribulation.
Although they didn’t know exactly how Ye Wushuang managed to cross the tribulation, one thing was certain: the strength he displayed at that moment must have surpassed Zongzheng Liu Ning’s.
Only by surpassing Zongzheng Liu Ning could Ye Wushuang have possibly sailed through a tribulation that was amplified countless times over.
Every time they thought about it, people were struck with overwhelming shock.
They could clearly see Ye Wushuang’s cultivation realm—it was the Immortal King Realm.
An Immortal King realm cultivator surpassing a Sovereign Realm expert—no matter how you looked at it, it seemed utterly absurd.
“A peerless prodigy, this is what a true peerless prodigy looks like! Just at the Immortal King Realm, yet possessing the ability to fight across levels, the power to contend with Sovereign Realm experts!”
“This is so similar to Her Majesty! When Her Majesty was at the Immortal King Realm, she also had the strength to match Sovereign Realm experts. In some ways, they are alike!!”
“I think this Ye Wushuang is even stronger than Her Majesty was back then. Think about it, even Lord Zongzheng couldn’t survive that tribulation, but he did. That tells you just how formidable his strength is!!”
“No matter what, he is a prodigy of our Divine Dragon Empire. This is incredibly great news for our empire!!”
Regarding Ye Wushuang’s strength, some were jealous, some envious, but most felt reassured.
Those who felt reassured were the ones loyal to the Divine Dragon Empire.
In their eyes, the stronger Ye Wushuang became, the stronger the Divine Dragon Empire would be.
So, this wasn’t a bad thing for the empire.
They were also happy to see Ye Wushuang possessing such formidable power.
Some even thought to themselves that a genius like Ye Wushuang must be well protected, allowed to grow up safely. Only then could he truly become a cornerstone of the Divine Dragon Empire.
Thinking this, many couldn’t help but smile.
They could already foresee that with the appearance of the Divine Dragon Empress and Ye Wushuang, the Divine Dragon Empire would grow stronger and stronger.
On the other side, those who knew that Ye Wushuang had dispersed his cultivation to start over were rendered speechless from shock.
Among them, the most shaken was probably Murong Wan’er.
Murong Wan’er had worked hard for a long time and finally recultivated back to the Venerable Realm.
Her current Venerable Realm was far stronger than before.
To put it in her own words, she could now take on five versions of her former self at the same realm.
That was the most obvious feeling she had after restarting her cultivation.
Therefore, she was deeply grateful to the Divine Dragon Empress in her heart.
She also made up her mind to quickly cultivate back to her original realm, surpass Ye Wushuang, and monopolize the Divine Dragon Empress’s favor all for herself.
But today, she saw Ye Wushuang appear above the nine heavens, interfering with the lightning tribulation, and then forcefully crossing a tribulation that had been amplified countless times.
This dealt a heavy blow to her spirit.
“How is this possible? How could his cultivation progress so fast? How did he reach the Immortal King Realm already? Didn’t he start over from the Venerable Realm? Does he have no bottlenecks at all?!”
“He has this kind of combat power at the Immortal King Realm? His fighting strength is already comparable to Sovereign Realm experts? What kind of monster is he?!”
Staring at Ye Wushuang, Murong Wan’er could only exclaim that he was a monster.
She had only restarted her cultivation a little bit earlier than him, and if anything, she was the one with more cultivation experience.
After all, before restarting, she had been a Heavenly Immortal Realm expert.
So, recultivating back to the Heavenly Immortal Realm should be a breeze for her.
Therefore, she had thought it would be no challenge for her to surpass Ye Wushuang and be the first to reach the Immortal King Realm.
Who would have thought the reality would be completely different from what she expected?
Ye Wushuang, who seemed to have no cultivation experience at all, was cultivating at an astonishing speed, as if he had a cheat. He surged straight to the Immortal King Realm, a level Murong Wan’er dreamed of.
This was just too much for Murong Wan’er to handle.
She even began to doubt whether she was actually a genius.
If she was a genius, then what did that make Ye Wushuang, who had started over?
A monster!!
The term flashed through Murong Wan’er’s mind again, and she suddenly felt exhausted.
“I’ve lost. In the end, this contest is my loss.”
“It seems I can no longer compete with him for favor. Your Majesty won’t spoil only me anymore!!”
Murong Wan’er could almost foresee the Divine Dragon Empress doting excessively on a genius like Ye Wushuang.
Perhaps she would pour all her favor onto him alone.
This deeply disappointed Murong Wan’er. This was the favor she had wanted for herself, and now it was all gone.
It was a huge blow to her.
However, after a moment of dejection, she suddenly spoke again.
“No, I have to keep working hard and break through to the Immortal King Realm quickly. Once I reach the Immortal King Realm, Your Majesty’s favor will surely come back to me!!”
“When that time comes, I will definitely be able to attend to Her Majesty in the bedchamber!!”
With this thought, Murong Wan’er’s fighting spirit reignited, and she continued her training.
On another front, Yu Meiren, who had witnessed Ye Wushuang’s entire tribulation, fell into deep contemplation.
Ye Wushuang’s combat ability was just too strange.
If even Zongzheng Liu Ning couldn’t withstand the tribulation, how had Ye Wushuang, an Immortal King Realm cultivator, managed to do it? There was something very off about this.
“It must be law force. Only law force can provide such terrifying combat strength!!”
“Only a legendary, invincible ultimate powerhouse could survive such a dreadful heavenly tribulation!!”
“No, I have to report this. The higher-ups need to know!!”
Having reached this conclusion, Yu Meiren didn’t hesitate and immediately reported this information to the Liangjie Mountain.
