It was a scene of chaos. Mountains were split and a huge lake dried up. Charred trees and blackened corpses littered the ground.
Balmond and Cornelia were both gobsmacked by what they saw.
They witnessed everything and they even thought that they would be implicated by Jiu Shen's tribulation.
"That huge eyeball is so terrifying..." Cornelia muttered to herself in fear. She saw the gigantic creature spewing lightning beams that scorched the lands. Its overpowering aura even overturned the ocean!
Balmond nodded his head in agreement. Even he felt dread when he saw the devastating power of the huge eyeball. He only felt relieved when that mysterious creature was dragged back into space by an archaic force.
The Demon Emperor felt that he was just a small being in the face of that behemoth. At this moment, he was unsure if Jiu Shen managed to survive that cataclysmic power.
"Let's go search for Wine Master Jiu Shen." Balmond patted his daughter's shoulder and slowly floated in midair.
"Alright." Cornelia nodded her head and followed him. She was also curious if Jiu Shen survived his tribulation.
After searching the entire planet for more than an hour, they finally spotted a figure on a small island.
The father and daughter glanced at each other and slowly descended towards the island. However, they didn't find Jiu Shen. Instead, they found Yue Bo who was in a not-so-good condition. His face was black and his clothes were in tatters. The man's aura has also become noticeably weaker.
"Brother Yue Bo!" Balmond almost laughed when he saw his state. However, he held himself back and helped Yue Bo stabilize his condition.
Cornelia covered her mouth as she chuckled softly. Even the Void God Realm expert like Yue Bo was left in such a state.
"Brother Balmond, thank you." Yue Bo heaved a sigh of relief as he inspected his healed injuries.
Balmond patted the man's shoulder and said. "It's good that you're alright. We are lucky that we were far from the epicenter of that devastating power..."
Yue Bo shook his head and felt scared when he recalled the events earlier. If not for his recent breakthrough, he would have been scorched to death by that damnable lightning...
"I thought I was a goner. Luckily, a mysterious force helped me block a part of the stray lightning. Oh right, how did Princess Cornelia come here?" Yue Bo changed the topic as he didn't want to recall the traumatic scene.
Balmond glanced at his daughter and answered. "Wine Master Jiu Shen brought him here. It's a long story, so I'll tell you about it later. For now, let's search for Wine Master Jiu Shen. Hopefully, he survived that tribulation."
Yue Bo suddenly remembered something. That's right! It was a tribulation! He was too busy trying to survive that he almost forgot that it was a tribulation! So it was Wine Master Jiu Shen...
"Alright. Let's search separately. Just notify through communication crystal if you manage to find him." Yue Bo cracked his joints before he streaked through the skies.
Looking at the disappearing figure above the clouds, Balmond stared at his daughter and said. "Come on. Let's search for him together..."
Cornelia nodded her head.
Meanwhile, above the ocean, Jiu Shen stood with his eyes shut tight. His clothes was destroyed by the tribulation lightning, exposing his lean and explosive muscles.
He observed his dantian and noticed the great increase in the volume of his true essence. His spiritual power was also upgraded and even his physical body improved drastically. That means all three of his cultivation has now reached the Void God Realm!
Jiu Shen opened his eyes and smiled. "Void God Realm... Not too bad... Now, I'm only a few realms away from my past cultivation."
Jiu Shen found it quite funny. It took him thousands upon thousands of years to reach the Void God Realm in his past life. However, it only took him a year to reach it in this life. The difference is truly huge...
"If my progress continues like this, I might only need ten years to reach the Heavenly God Realm. This speed is absurd..." Jiu Shen muttered to himself, feeling a bit proud. Even the three Celestial Emperors were not that fast...
"Just where did this overpowered system come from? Is it an ancient Celestial-rank item?" Jiu Shen suddenly became curious about the system that brought him back to life. Even until now, he still had no idea what it was.
"Nevermind. I'll eventually know what it is..." He consoled himself.
Just then, he soon noticed an aura approaching his direction with great speed.
Jiu Shen smiled as he looked at the man moving towards him. It was Yue Bo, but this guy seemed to have just survived an explosion...
"Oh right... I remember that one bolt of my tribulation lightning struck his direction..." Jiu Shen chuckled as he stared at the sorry figure of Yue Bo.
"Wine Master Jiu!" Yue Bo heaved a sigh of relief after spotting Jiu Shen. He was also surprised when he discovered no injuries in Jiu Shen's body. That world-destroying power wasn't enough to injure him?!
Thinking about it, Yue Bo felt more respect and fear towards Jiu Shen.
Jiu Shen nodded at Yue Bo. "I have implicated you guys..."
Yue Bo shook his head. He almost died, but the lightning also improved his physique. "All of us are fine. By the way, congratulations on your breakthrough, Wine Master Jiu!"
He was not sure about Jiu Shen's cultivation level, but he didn't dare ask. From the power of his tribulation, Jiu Shen's cultivation must be so high, right?
"You guys can stay here and recuperate. Remember, our deal still stands, so make sure to train your new techniques well..." Jiu Shen patted Yue Bo's shoulder. His words made the latter's face turn stiff.
"Ah, this... Can we-" Before Yue Bo could even finish his words, Jiu Shen's figure vanished. He then sighed and took out his communication crystal.
"Wine Master Jiu Shen is fine."
