"Die!"
Tian Feng swung his Heavenly Saber, slashing at the person before him, vowing revenge.
"Rumble!"
Just then, the tribulation clouds above the sky stirred, shaking the heavens and earth.
Streams of incredibly powerful divine lightning shot towards Xiao Ai, simultaneously striking Tian Feng indiscriminately.
"What?!"
Tian Feng felt his life was in danger and retreated instantly, but he was still within the attack range of the heavenly tribulation.
Divine lightning descended like a deluge. Tian Feng continued to swing his Heavenly Saber, a golden light erupting, counterattacking the heavenly lightning.
"You actually triggered heavenly lightning! Are you trying to ascend to the Heavenly God level?"
Tian Feng immediately understood what had happened. Xiao Ai had been meditating all along, merging her own power, breaking through her limitations, and ascending to the Heavenly God realm.
"That's right, I am about to ascend to the Heavenly God realm!"
"Bastard, you dare!"
Tian Feng knew that once a super genius like Xiao Ai ascended to the Heavenly God realm, her strength would be far superior to his. Therefore, he had to disrupt her ascension this time.
At this moment, the powerful figures outside also understood why Ye Yun had not been anxious. It turned out he had calculated that his disciple could ascend to the Heavenly God realm, trusting his disciple's talent.
"Alliance Leader Ye is indeed formidable; he had planned this all along!"
"It seems we were shortsighted."
"We apologize, and hope Alliance Leader Ye will not be offended!"
The powerful figures who had previously doubted Ye Yun now came forward to apologize.
"It's all trivial matters; there's no need for this."
Ye Yun paid no attention to them and continued to watch the competition.
However, those opportunists who had betrayed the Heavenly Domain Alliance were now anxious. They had not expected Ye Yun's disciple to be so formidable, completely disregarding any rules and attempting to ascend directly.
Their only hope now was for Tian Feng to cause disruption and prevent Xiao Ai's successful ascension. After all, the heavenly tribulation was currently targeting Xiao Ai, and Tian Feng could exploit this.
"Hmph, so what if she can ascend? She hasn't succeeded yet!"
"Indeed, His Highness Tian Feng wields the Heavenly Saber; that woman is doomed this time."
"His Highness Tian Feng, disrupt her and amplify the power of the heavenly tribulation to smite her to death!"
Those powerful figures had thrown all shame aside and began offering such insidious advice to Tian Feng.
However, Tian Feng was already contemplating this approach in his mind.
"Damn it, these scumbags, actually suggesting such despicable methods!"
"Alliance Leader, should we take action against them? This is too infuriating."
The powerful figures all looked to Ye Yun, hoping for his command.
"Don't worry. I've said enough. The Heavenly Domain will win. You just need to watch."
"Since the Alliance Leader says so, we have nothing to worry about. Let's all watch."
Everyone sat down and looked at the illusionary scroll.
On Divine Artifact Peak, a sly smile crept onto Tian Feng's lips.
"If you want to ascend, you might have to ask my permission."
"Why?"
"Why? Hahaha, as long as I cause trouble within your heavenly tribulation range, I can provoke the heavenly law's excessive punishment, which will escalate the difficulty of your tribulation to a new height, ensuring your death."
"You are truly cunning."
"All warfare is based on deception. This time, I will not only defend the dignity of the Tian Lan Domain but also avenge my second and third brothers. You should accept your fate."
Tian Feng, holding the Heavenly Saber, ascended into the high heavens.
"Heavenly tribulation, let me add some fire to you."
"Heavenly Saber - Ten Thousand Peaks Shatter the Heavens!"
"Rumble!"
Peaks rose from the ground, soaring towards the sky, as if to confront the heavenly tribulation head-on.
"Hahaha!"
Tian Feng knew that the heavenly tribulation was inherently Xiao Ai's. Even if he caused maximum disruption, as long as he left the area before stronger tribulation lightning descended, he would be safe.
Instead, Xiao Ai might face a life-or-death crisis.
"Xiao Ai!"
The women all showed expressions of concern, which brought even more joy to Tian Feng.
He believed he would succeed this time. If the heavenly tribulation could kill Xiao Ai, he could then defeat the other women and claim victory.
"Hmph, it seems you won't shed tears until you see the coffin. Then let me show you!"
"Oh, you little girl have a tough mouth. Very well, let your master watch you die here. Let's see if he dares to save you."
"Master dares to save us, of course. No one in this world can stop what Master does. He simply doesn't need to act because you will suffer the consequences of your own actions."
"Suffer the consequences? Hahaha, you're hilarious. This heavenly tribulation is yours. Prepare to die!"
Endless mountain peaks transformed into blades, forcefully surging upwards.
"Rumble!"
Heavenly lightning crackled, and clouds churned.
The power of the heavenly tribulation indeed escalated rapidly, as if the wrath of heaven.
Powerful divine lightning manifested into various forms, hurtling towards Xiao Ai below.
"This is truly wonderful. This level of heavenly tribulation far surpasses anything before. Even a fifth-level Heavenly God couldn't withstand it, let alone you, who isn't a Heavenly God yet."
"Hmph, you've already fallen into a desperate situation and don't realize it, you utter fool!"
"Chu Ai, being stubborn is useless. I, His Highness, will leave now. Only you – prepare to die!"
Tian Feng turned and rushed towards the outside world. As he passed through the spatial range of the heavenly tribulation, a victorious smile appeared on his face.
"I've won this time for sure!"
Just as he was about to await the outcome with a smile, he suddenly heard a powerful thunderous roar.
"What's happening?"
He looked up at the sky and realized he was still within the range of the heavenly tribulation.
"Impossible! What did you do?"
"Idiot, you've been locked by Xiao Ai's Void Divine Domain. You can't escape."
"That's right, that's right. Now you are the prey trapped in a cage."
"This is a case of overthinking and falling into your own trap. Serves you right!"
The women outside made all sorts of faces at him, taunting him relentlessly. Tian Feng tried various methods but could not break through the Void Divine Domain.
"What benefit is there for you in doing this? You will die too. Now, I'll give you a choice: Release me immediately, and I will help you overcome the heavenly tribulation. What do you say?"
Tian Feng was clearly panicking. Even with his strength, he couldn't withstand this level of heavenly tribulation. He didn't want to die here with Xiao Ai.
"Now you're scared? Weren't you quite arrogant earlier?"
"Chu Ai, it's meaningless to say such things now. Release me immediately, or we will all die!"
"You are mistaken, Tian Feng. I will not die. You will!"
"What did you say?!"
Tian Feng's eyes widened as he questioned her. Looking at her confident expression, he truly began to panic.
"Sizzle!"
At this moment, a Star Crystal Stone appeared above Chu Ai's head.
"This Star Crystal Stone can help me resist the power of the heavenly tribulation, while you can only be crushed into dust under the bombardment of the heavenly tribulation!"
"Impossible! This is a fifth-level Heavenly God tribulation. No treasure can resist it. You're lying to me!"
"You'll find out soon if I'm lying."
Xiao Ai smiled slightly, and with a divine thought, spatial power isolated Tian Feng.
