Shi Lang consoled Shi Tao for a few minutes before he turned to look at the tree that grass plain that has grown on the hill as he said, "I am going ahead, I will come back when I have taken the head of those beasts."

    He made his declaration and suddenly the clouds turned dark and began to thunder. Shi Tao was confused but suddenly the concentrated spiritual energy told her that the clouds were tribulation clouds.

    Shi Lang said, "Tao, I am going to settle the demons."

    Shi Tao nodded subconsciously and Shi Lang vanished. The next moment, Hou Bing followed his trail while Allure let out a breath, and panted. The people were confused, Hao Mei approached her and asked, "Elder, are you alright?"

    Allure nodded as she patted Hao Mei''s head and said, "Tell Tian Long and the rest that your master is charging at the demon region and he is bringing a Heavenly tribulation in tow. They should get away from him and the battle front."

    Hao Mei nodded and rushed away quickly. Shi Tao asked, "What do you mean that Baba has become an Immortal Sovereign?"

    Allure nodded and replied, "He became a Sovereign."

    Shi Tao shook her head and asked, "But he did not even circulate his spiritual energy so how could he have comprehended anything? Also, you asked if he has refined his blood, right? What is going on?"

    Allure took a deep breath and said, "He asked me once about the method of the Legendary beasts. I told him that we need to refine our blood with Dao Laws. Each drop of blood that is courses through our veins is to be engraved with the Dao Laws. This gives us physical strength like none other and when we have completed refining the hundred percent amount of blood.

    We face the Tribulation to rise to the Immortal Sovereign."

    Shi Tao nodded, and wanted to say something when Allure continued, "That is the case for the spiritual beasts, but Shi Lang is a human, he would need to go through two different tribulations. When his spiritual cultivation rises he would need it."

    Shi Tao was stunned and said, "Shit!"

    They wouldn''t have been worried about Shi Lang if it was normal time. However, the moment he woke up, Shi Tao sensed that something about him was different. Other than that, his body was stuck in one stance for an year. Despite all this she could not do anything apart from praying for his well being.

    ...

    Shi Lang''s skin was broken and he was bleeding from some cracks. Yet, he did not even pursued his lips. To him, no amount of physical pain could make him frown anymore. The lightning streaks fell one after the other, one stronger than the other.

    Shi Lang was absorbing the spiritual energy in his Dantian compressing it to make space for more energy. When the tribulation came to an end, Shi Lang threw around a large number of spirit stones. He said, "Hou Bing, Raksha, if anyone comes close, slay them and destroy their souls."

    Then he made a few seals with his hands and a huge barrier appeared around him. He sat crossed legs in the void and a cape and a crown appeared over his head and back. The immortal cultivators watching all this from the distance and were shocked.

    One of the experts exclaimed, "Wasn''t that his tribulation to ascend to the realm of a Sovereign? What is going on here?"

    The next moment, Tian Long appeared ahead of the crowd with Fairy Moon Jade, and the rest of the Martial Council top brass. They could not understand what was going on, when they saw Shi Lang disperse the cape and crown on his head into small specks of light that flew around him in a circle.

    It was as if a vortex of light was going around Shi Lang, and the man was the center of it all. The particles gradually moved faster and they gathered together to cast a ring around Shi Lang.

    Tian Long said, "He is charging at the Immortal Sovereign realm."

    The rest of the people nodded, and suddenly a general said, "My lord, the demon side has demon sovereigns gathering in the void."

    Tian Long frowned and said, "Do they think we are wind? I have yet to settle the score with these old undying bastards, yet they dare to show up here? Everyone, avoid the formation, just charge at the old and young. None of the demonic bastards shall be left alive!"

    Zither Soul did not even wait for anyone. She flickered and appeared in the position where she had placed herself right outside the array around Shi Lang and she sat down with her Zither.

    Tian Long took out a black and red sword as he vanished from his position as well. Lao Xu, Amethyst, Old Man Yanshu, all of them joined the battle and the world descended in chaos. Suddenly Fairy Moon Jade said, "The clouds have yet to go away, do not make haste. None of you are to direct any intention towards the formation or the sky.

    You will have to face the lightning streaks of a crimson grade tribulation. Don''t tell me that you cannot see that this tribulation is different from the other."

    Hou Bing said, "This is indeed not a simple tribulation but the double tribulation. Shi Lang is aiming to get a perfect sovereign. How can it be normal?"

    The sovereigns opened their eyes wide because this realm was nothing but a mythological tale.
