Monarch Of Time

Chapter 886 Riled up

What Liu Mei and the rest were all unaware of, was that back in the central region, in the area right outside the 'City of Immortals', numerous powerful experts who were stationed there all trembled at the same time, as they stared at the majestic city in front of them with looks of clear astonishment and disbelief, while their hearts violently shook!

''What is going on? Why is there a heavenly tribulation in that place? Could it be that someone has finally managed to breakthrough within the 'City of Immortals'?''

The surrounding experts who had previously concealed themselves while they were waiting for their disciples inside to exit, all flickered in the next moment as they appeared right in front of the magnificent city gates, before they erupted in fervent discussions the moment they sensed the enormous cloud of heavenly tribulation in the sky.

''Don't be a fool! Stop speaking nonsense! It's not like you don't know the rules! Even peak-stage Dao Kings and Dao Emperors can't breakthrough while they are still inside, no matter how much qi they try to accumulate or what type of treasure they consume!''

''Of course I know that, old fart! But how do you explain this then? Is that thing over there anything else other than a cloud of heavenly tribulation?''

Although these experts appeared to be few in number, at least compared to the number of Dao Kings and Dao Emperors who had entered the 'City of Immortals' previously, there were still over a thousand of them, and all of them seemed to have appeared in front of the city gates practically out of thin air.

In fact, their speed was so terrifying, that even a peak rank 9 Dao Emperor like Quan Lin, one of the Northern Sovereign's strongest army commanders couldn't compare to them.

The few early-stage Dao Kings who were still lingering near the gates of the 'City of Immortals' and were contemplating whether to enter inside or not, all paled the moment they sensed the newcomers' horrifying auras, before they hurriedly retreated as far away as they could!

Clearly, these 'newcomers' who were emitting auras that surpassed even that of a peak rank 9 Dao Emperor, were all Sovereign realm experts!

One thousand Sovereign realm experts had actually concealed themselves near the entrance of the 'City of Immortals'!

However, on second thought, the surrounding Dao Kings realized that this made sense.

After all, how many Dao Kings and Dao Emperors had already entered the 'City of Immortals' by now? How many peak powers had already sent their most talented disciples inside in search of opportunities?

Even those hidden powers and reclusive experts who hadn't shown their faces in the outside world for thousands of years would naturally be moved by the treasures that could be found inside.

Considering how vast the central region was, a thousand Sovereign realm experts gathering together wasn't an exaggerated number at all.

In fact, if it wasn't for the fact that Sovereign realm experts were unable to enter the 'City of Immortals' themselves, even peak-stage Sovereigns like the Northern Sovereign wouldn't be able to resist from making a move!

The group of Sovereign realm experts were animatedly discussing the sudden appearance of the Heavenly Tribulation, growing more and more shocked with every passing second.

Once the first snow-white bolt of heavenly tribulation descended, they could no longer hold back their astonishment, since that practically verified that the black thundercloud was indeed a cloud of heavenly tribulation. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Speculating about it was one thing, but witnessing it with their own eyes was something entirely different.

Clearly, Sovereign realm experts like them were privy to many more secrets than the common folk, and they clearly knew that it was impossible for someone to breakthrough while they were still inside the 'City of Immortals'.

Even the most talented peak rank 9 Dao Kings and Dao Emperors who had tried to breakthrough there in the past, had all failed without exception, regardless of how much qi they had accumulated or what type of treasure they tried to consume!

These were the laws of the 'City of Immortals', and they were so overwhelmingly powerful and tyrannical, that they could even forcibly block a cultivator's connection with the heavens themselves!

None of these Sovereign realm experts present could fathom what kind of power was needed to create something like that.  However, they were certain of one thing. Even experts above the Sovereign realm, those who stood at the absolute peak of the central region, would be extremely hard-pressed to achieve such a feat.

Shortly after the first bolt of heavenly tribulation descended, two more pure-white bolts then followed. However, these Sovereign realm experts weren't surprised by that at all. After all, since they had already verified that this was a cloud of Heavenly tribulation, whether it was a single bolt that descended, or a full set of nine bolts, it wouldn't make any difference to them.

What they were interested in instead, was finding out who the person who had summoned this heavenly tribulation was!

If they could get their hands on him, who knew what kind of secrets they would be able to unearth? Perhaps they may even have a chance of entering the 'City of Immortals' themselves!

As their imagination ran wild, the breathing of these Sovereign realm experts had unknowingly hastened.

However, the moment their eyes landed on the next bolt of heavenly tribulation that appeared in the center of the black thundercloud, even their breathing seemed to have suddenly come to a halt as incredulous expressions covered their faces!

Staring at the outline of that terrifying magic beast that the bolt of heavenly tribulation had morphed into, one of the Sovereign realm experts unknowingly took a step back in disbelief, before he muttered to himself in a doubtful tone, as if he couldn't believe his own eyes any longer

''Is that thing... a heavenly roc? The bolt of heavenly tribulation has turned into a roc?''

The rest of the Sovereign realm experts around him remained silent, not uttering a single word in response, but from the stunned looks in their eyes, it was obvious that they too were shocked by what they were seeing!

Experts like them wouldn't have batted an eye even if 9 bolts of lightning descended towards the 'City of Immortals' simultaneously.

However, seeing the heavenly tribulation take the appearance of a magic beast, especially a magic beast like the heavenly roc, had finally caused tempestuous waves to rise in these Sovereigns' hearts!

...

At the same time, inside the foggy space in the 'Stone of Time', Little Black's entire body was now radiating such a dense killing intent, that it could even make peak rank 7 magic beasts prostrate in terror from hundreds of miles away, while his deep azure eyes were completely focused on the body of the heavenly roc in the sky right above Shun Long.

Little Black's bone-chilling gaze was so cold and full of anger and killing intent, that even the few spiritual herbs that he was previously munching on earlier seemed to have suddenly withered from his aura alone, as if the entire space around the black dragon had suddenly turned into a frosty lake of death.

However, the figure of the 'heavenly roc' seemed completely unaware of the black dragon's thoughts, as its gaze was fully focused on Shun Long instead.
