Chapter 4540: The Fatal Heavenly Tribulation?

"Forbidden Realm?"

"His lifeblood feels strong, and he's young... To think he achieved so much at such a young age. Is he from the God Defying World?"

"If he's not from the God Defying World, how could the World energy of the God Defying World help him bear some of the force of the Heavenly Tribulation? However, even with the World energy, it's impossible for someone in the Forbidden Realm to survive the Heavenly Tribulation. Why is he so calm?"

The two old men looked at Xiao Mu Bai in confusion after a while. They had no idea someone like Duan Ling Tian had appeared in the God Defying World since they were in closed-door cultivation. They could not help but wonder why Xiao Mu Bai did not warn Duan Ling Tian against entering the Forbidden Realm.

After all, in the past, Xiao Mu Bai's father tried to suppress himself and stopped himself from breaking through. Alas, he came to a point where he could no longer suppress it and was forced to enter the Forbidden Realm. As a result, he died.

After a moment, the two old men began to discuss among themselves again.

"In the God Defying World, no one under the realm of supreme powerhouses has ever entered the Forbidden Realm after the gap in history. On the contrary, there were quite a few below the realm of supreme powerhouses who entered the Forbidden Realm in the Outer Boundary and the other Worlds... However, all of them died."

"That's right... All of those advanced Supreme Gods were killed by the Heavenly Tribulation after entering the Forbidden Realm..."

"However, based on this kid's performance, it seems like he may survive it!"

"If he survives it, he'll directly become a level-seven supreme powerhouse as soon as he enters the realm of supreme powerhouses, right?"

Upon hearing these words, Xiao Mu Bai looked at the two old men and saw his excitement reflected in their eyes as well.

A level-seven supreme powerhouse was peerless in the truest sense in the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds. If Duan Ling Tian, a native of the God Defying World, became a level-seven supreme powerhouse, it would push the God Defying World to the top of the Myriad Worlds, surpassing the Three Upper Worlds.

Currently, the strongest existence in the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds were level-six supreme powerhouses.

Many people in the Myriad Worlds and Outer Boundary assumed that there was a World supreme powerhouse, who was also Xiao Mu Bai's father, in the God Defying World. They were unaware that the God Defying World did not have a World supreme powerhouse for a long time now. Xiao Mu Bai had hidden the news to avoid bringing trouble to the God Defying World.

The Myriad Worlds' relationships were rather competitive. Since time immemorial, strong Worlds would subjugate weak Worlds. The God Defying World had also subjugated many weaker Worlds. If it was unknown that the God Defying World had lost its World supreme powerhouse, there would definitely be people who would try to take advantage of the situation.

Xiao Mu Bai knew he could not keep the news hidden forever, and he had been worried about the day that news of his father's death spread. At that time, powerhouses from various Worlds would come to the God Defying World to verify the news, and once they confirmed the veracity of the news, the God Defying World would be in danger.

For this reason, Xiao Mu Bai had paid close attention to talented cultivators over the years and spared no effort to help them. He hoped there would be more powerhouses in the God Defying World, hoping there would be a World supreme powerhouse again. Duan Ling Tian was one of the people whom Xiao Mu Bai had high hopes for.

At the same time, Xiao Mu Bai also cultivated diligently, trying to enter the realm of World supreme powerhouses as soon as he could to protect the God Defying World.

At this time, Xiao Mu Bai and the other imminent World supreme powerhouses from the God Defying World continued to look at Duan Ling Tian who was facing the Heavenly Tribulation. They could not hide their excitement at all.

"Seniors, this Heavenly Tribulation is causing a huge commotion... I'm afraid the other Worlds will sense it..." Xiao Mu Bai said solemnly to the two old men, "We should do our best to hide this. Otherwise, when people from the other Worlds, especially the Three Upper Worlds, find out that Duan Ling Tian is alive after entering the Forbidden Realm, they'll definitely do everything in their power to kill him before he gets any stronger."

After all, if one was not killed by the Heavenly Tribulation after entering the Forbidden Realm, there was no doubt that one would become a level-seven supreme powerhouse.

"You're right. We must hide this matter."

"This is especially true for the Three Upper Worlds... They won't let go of someone who survives the Heavenly Tribulation after entering the Forbidden Realm..."

"I'm afraid it'll be difficult to hide this matter, but we'll have to do our best!"

...

Just as Xiao Mu Bai expected, the commotion alerted many people.

Although Duan Ling Tian went to the Asura Hell to face the Heavenly Tribulation, it came from outside the Asura Hell and the God Defying World. As such, it quickly drew people's attention, especially those in the Upper Three Worlds.

The Three Upper Worlds were the strongest Worlds for the longest time, but they were not complacent and always paid attention to the other Worlds, especially the 18 Middle Worlds; which included the God Defying World.

For this reason, the Three Upper Worlds were quickly alerted when there was such a huge commotion, caused by Duan Ling Tian's Heavenly Tribulation, close to the God Defying World.

It did not take long before the Three Upper Worlds sent three level-five imminent World supreme powerhouses to have a look.

The trio stood a distance away and observed the shocking Heavenly Tribulation.

"This... This isn't the once-in-ten-thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation that supreme powerhouses have to face!"

"It seems to be the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation that comes after one enters the Forbidden Realm!"

"A peerless top advanced Supreme God in the God Defying World entered the Forbidden Realm and attracted the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation?"

The Fatal Heavenly Tribulation was the Heavenly Tribulation that came after one entered the Forbidden Realm. As its name suggested, it was... fatal.

In the Three Upper Worlds, although it was rare, it was not unheard of for a few extraordinarily talented people to enter the Forbidden Realm. Needless to say, most of those people, if not all, did not voluntarily enter the Forbidden Realm. After all, that was tantamount to seeking death. After the gap in history, no one had ever survived the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation after entering the Forbidden Realm after all.

For this reason, who would voluntarily break into the Forbidden Realm? It was still glorious to be a level-six supreme powerhouse. Most importantly, one would be able to keep one's life.

Meanwhile, after discovering that the commotion came from the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation, three imminent World supreme powerhouses quickly sent news back to the World supreme powerhouses in their respective Worlds.
