Everyone is Qingfeng.

Jin Shi's heart trembled suddenly, she stared blankly at the Divine General Baize, not knowing what to say for a long time.

Baize was playing chess by himself, looking as leisurely and content as ever, except that his hand under the chessboard was gripping a white chess piece tightly.

In the past, when playing chess.

Xu Lai preferred to play with white pieces.

Baize murmured in his heart, "The Supreme Emperor, you've left quite a mess. The days ahead won't be easy."

...

The days in the Heavenly Court are tough, and Xu Lai's days are even tougher.

It was the first time he saw the karmic tribulation of an Emperor Realm expert, endless karmic woes of countless souls from the Immortal Domain were present in this tribulation.

Fortunately.

Xu Lai was not alone in the tribulation.

There were six Emperor Realm experts from the Nine Kings' Palace who were no longer indifferent, along with a crazed Blue Giant Jellyfish.

On the Netherworld Road with them, they could still continue to fight, not entirely uninteresting.

"Hahahahaha."

Xu Lai laughed up at the sky, "I, Xu Qingfeng, lived for thousands of years, began at the Heavenly Court sect gate, ended at Heaven Beyond Heaven, and regretted only one thing before dying."

"Unable to kill all the Nine Kings' Palace!"

The Nine Kings' Palace here is a general term for all Emperor Realms trying to achieve the Immortal Path with the beings of the Immortal Domain, including but not limited to the Nine Kings' Palace.

Such as Tian Gui Yuan Yin, and other Emperor Realms not yet exposed.

However, being able to eliminate the forbidden ground of the Nine Kings' Palace before dying, along with the Blue Giant Jellyfish, this ticking time bomb that can destroy the Immortal Domain, wasn't bad.

"Fellow Daoists, don't you have means to survive the karmic tribulation? Could you let me see for some enlightenment before I die?"

Xu Lai smiled at Bai Shuang, Ji Ming, and others.

"Xu Qingfeng!!!"

Ji Ming gritted his teeth and roared angrily.

If it weren't for being affected by the tribulation thunder's range and forced to resist the great tribulation, he would surely kill Xu Lai with his own hands to relieve his hatred.

The other five didn't have time to say even one word, embarrassingly avoiding the tribulation thunder, their hearts filled with despair.

They had ways to survive the karmic tribulation, but it required the Nine Kings' Palace swallowed by the Blue Giant Jellyfish!

The first step of the previous plan was for them to join hands with Xu Lai, the second step was to kill or suppress the Blue Giant Jellyfish to retrieve the Nine Kings' Palace.

Only the third step was to use the Nine Kings' Palace to help Xu Lai survive the tribulation.

By then, Xu Lai would still have to watch their expressions; they held the initiative in their hands.

But now.

The first and second steps weren't taken, and the third step fell upon them, implicating them as well.

Bai Shuang and others wished they could tear Xu Lai into pieces!

Xu Lai felt the friendliness of the Nine Kings' Palace toward him, smiled, looked at the flashing tribulation clouds, and activated his boundary to resist.

Knowing that death is certain.

He still had to give it a try.

At least he could die a little later, right?

"Crack!"

Different from other heavenly tribulations.

The first few tribulation thunders were merely probing or less powerful, but each tribulation of this karmic tribulation was extremely terrifying.

Xu Lai endured just ten black heavenly thunders, his body already wounded, spiritual energy remained only half.

"Does it hurt?"

A somewhat cool voice sounded.

Xu Lai saw behind him a wooden sword floating, it was the Qingfeng Sword.

He sighed lightly, "Why accompany me to death."

"I came to see the joke."

"Boom!"

After enduring another black tribulation thunder, half of Xu Lai's body was blown away, exposing white bones and flesh.

As if feeling no pain, Xu Lai laughed and asked, "Am I funny enough now."

"Not enough."

The Qingfeng Sword flew into Xu Lai's palm, "When you are half-dead with only one breath left, I will stab you to death."

"It's thoughtful."

Xu Lai gripped the Qingfeng Sword tightly and exhaled.

Though proud with words, he couldn't bear to see Xu Lai truly die from the tribulation.

To die under the Emperor Artifact he forged himself when exhaustions caught up was not a bad ending.

"I haven't killed an Emperor Realm yet."

"..."

Xu Lai didn't continue the banter with the Emperor Artifact.

He focused entirely on resisting the karmic tribulation, by the thirty-sixth tribulation thunder, Xu Lai's right arm was destroyed, using his left hand to wield the sword.

By the sixtieth black tribulation thunder, Xu Lai lost a leg.

By the eighty-ninth black tribulation thunder, half of Xu Lai's body was destroyed, his foundation injured.

When the one hundred and third black tribulation thunder fell, Xu Lai's sea of consciousness was near collapse, only a small pool of divine sense remained.

"Puff—"

Xu Lai spat out a mouthful of blood, already struggling to stand in the air.

And the Qingfeng Sword showed a very obvious crack, seemingly about to break at any moment.

"Look at those few from the Nine Kings' Palace, still alive and kicking, your injuries are too severe." Qingfeng Sword said annoyed.

Once hearing this, Xu Lai knew Bai Shuang, Ji Ming, and others were going to suffer.

Indeed.

At first glance, Bai Shuang, Ji Ming, and the other six Emperor Realm experts appeared slightly better off than Xu Lai, but the power of the karmic tribulation suddenly intensified.

The falling tribulation thunder was no longer purely black but included a very striking white!

Once the white tribulation thunder fell, it made all six Emperor Realm experts bleed across Heaven Beyond Heaven, all suffering heavy wounds!

"The tribulation thunders changed color, and got stronger."

Xu Lai gasped, the black tribulation thunder mixed with white, increasing the lethality several times.

"Why fear, yours hasn't changed strength." Qingfeng Sword said thankfully.

"Disaster."

Xu Lai's scalp exploded, his figure hurriedly retreated backward, but he was still a step too slow.

"Swish!"

Within the tribulation clouds, there was no sound of thunder, a white tribulation thunder and a black tribulation thunder simultaneously struck Xu Lai.

"Puchi!"

Xu Lai's chest was penetrated, only half of his heart remained.

"Luckily, you—"

"Stop! Stop talking, I beg you."

Xu Lai hurriedly interrupted Qingfeng Sword, why hadn't he noticed the Artifact Spirit's words were so terrifying before?

Reverse speaking into existence, even Emperor Realms were not spared.

"I will stab you to death later!"

Qingfeng Sword Spirit huffed coldly, feeling her words were a bit jinxed, but that wasn't a reason for Xu Lai to despise her.

"Swish!"

"Swoosh!"

"Swish!"

"..."

Consecutive dozens of black and white tribulation thunders fell, crushing Xu Lai's Dao body, nearly causing instant demise.

Xu Lai activated the remaining scarce spiritual energy within himself, trying to repair the fatal injuries, but too slow.

Xu Lai simply devoured all the Essence Blood of Snowflower in the Storage Space, gulping elixirs down, the effect was immediate, most of the body's injuries recovered.

Xu Lai's face was extremely grim.

He always felt that those black and white thunderbolts would eventually merge, then the lethality would increase several times, that's the true karmic tribulation.

"The heavenly tribulation won't dissipate, unless the one tribulating dies, I…can't last long."

Xu Lai's hand gripping the sword kept dripping blood, one drop after another, "You should go, no need to accompany me to die here."

Qingfeng Sword wanted to say something encouraging, but only managed three words at the mouth: "Try again."

"Return to Earth, protect my wife and daughter, and convey a message for me."
