Gu Mo’s expression was dark when he saw that the Soul Attack was fast approaching, giving him no time to use a Divine Ability to counter it.However, Gu Mo was still an experienced cultivator at the 9th Stage of the Foundation so he was fast to think of a solution.With the Soul Attack baring down on him, Gu Mo quickly set up several mental barriers with his Soul Sense and pushed off the ground in retreat.With this, he had a split second more time to quickly form a single hand seal before he spat out a mouth of essence blood and then pushed his palm forward.This was done in one fluid motion, almost instinct on Gu Mo’s part. The essence blood he spat out began to glow an ominous dark red color before it started boiling and then exploded.This strange attack filled with Demonic Qi engulf Xi Shen’s Soul Attack, and absolutely obliterated it.This should have been impossible as Soul Attacks weren’t supposed to be affected by normal attacks, but Gu Mo’s strange attack had managed to acco

*Rumble* *Rumble* *Rumble*The entire volcano was shaking intensely, causing rocks to detach from the walls and enter the lake of lava with a loud splash. Thus making the lake of lava even more violent in its rampaging movement against the rocky edges it’s contained in.In the air above the lake of lava, the void was twisting horribly around the enormous arm that had just appeared.Its size was around fifty to sixty meters in length which were far, far from a normal human’s hand. It was well muscular and in good condition as if it had just been cut off from the person’s forearm.The deep blue chains that wrapped around the arm had countless archaic runic symbols on them, that would glow intensely. Each time it glowed the power which was warping and twisting space around the hand would be forcefully suppressed.Xi Shen could sense that the power radiating off of the hand were extremely profound Fire Laws. But the runic symbols looked like the ones from the Water God Temple.Meaning thi

*Rumble* *Rumble* *Rumble*The tribulation cloud in the sky grew to a staggering size of three hundred meters in one go!Yang Su gulp nervously as he flipped over his palm and took out the wooden sword.The previous tribulation in the Outer Academy was three hundred meters as well but that was when it peaked. This one reached that size despite just appearing, anyone could tell this tribulation was something that no ordinary Sea Expansion Realm cultivator could survive.But this was heaven's way of saying, ‘since you decide to break the norm and have strength of this magnitude in the Sea Expansion Realm, it is only fair if you face a tribulation befitting of that power.’Even Foundation Construction Realm cultivators would flinch back upon seeing such heavenly fury gathered in one place.Xi Shen’s body floated to the side but was still using his Divine Will to keep Yang Su in the air. It would also act as a protective shield if he were to falter when confronting the tribulation.Normal

The moon hung in the sky as Xi Shen walked with Yang Su up to Fei Yin and Fang Chen. Fei Yin turn towards Yang Su and said, “Brother Su, congratulations on your breakthrough.” Fang Chen nodded and gave a thumbs-up as well, but he was secretly feeling shocked in his heart. The aura Yang Su was giving off after his breakthrough was extremely different from before. He didn’t know how to explain it but compared to him who was in the Sea Expansion Realm, Yang Su’s aura felt abnormally stronger. Fang Chen wasn’t one to feel jealous of anyone or think himself to be inferior, but it still irked him that despite just entering the Sea Expansion Realm Yang Su felt powerful enough to possibly go toe to toe with him. ‘How can he be so powerful? He’s two to three years younger than me but he’s caught up with me in cultivation. No, even among the hidden geniuses I have seen within the Academy his talents could be compared to them or even surpass some of them. He only took less than a year to reac

When Yang Su returned outside after leading his mother inside, he notice that the atmosphere of the group was strange. He looked at Xi Shen questioningly but Xi Shen only shook his head as if to say it was nothing.Bai Xiaofung who had time to calm down finally noticed the change in Yang Su’s aura, and asked curiously, “Brother Su, how come you seem so different. Did something happen to you? It feels like you have become stronger.”When Fang Chen and Fei Yin heard Bai Xiaofung’s words, they looked at each other before turning their gazes to Xi Shen.Bai Xiaofung was some distance away in the village so he wasn’t able to see what they had witnessed, Yang Su challenging the Heavenly Tribulation.They looked to Xi Shen as they wondered if this was something that Bai Xiaofung should know about. After all, he wasn’t like them that would be under Xi Shen’s command in the future, he was the second son of the Bai Clan Leader, and the Bai Clan itself might still be under the Li Clan’s rule but
