250: Chapter 250 Wutianzhou is in an uproar! Speculation abounds! A comprehensive leap to the Saint King realm!

If the destruction of the Luanjin Holy Alliance only spread within a small area of Wutian Prefecture,

then the destruction of the Luan Gu Divine Sect swept wildly across the entirety of Wutian Prefecture.

There was a fundamental difference between a Saint King-grade force and a Great Saint Level force.

In Wutian Prefecture, a Great Saint Level force could at most be considered a second-rate force.

A Saint King-grade force, however, was a well-deserved first-rate force, second only to an Immortal Lineage.

Furthermore, the Luan Gu Divine Sect was a subordinate force of the Imperial Clan Cheng Family, an Immortal Lineage, and possessed quite a reputation.

It was easy to imagine that the destruction of the Luan Gu Divine Sect would inevitably draw the attention of the Imperial Clan Cheng Family.

When that time came, the Imperial Clan Cheng Family would surely unleash a thunderous wrath that would shake the entire Wutian Prefecture!

As time passed and the news of the Luan Gu Divine Sect's destruction became known to more people,

the destruction of the Luanjin Holy Alliance, the Martial Alliance, and even Luanjin Mountain was also brought to light.

After cross-referencing the details, many who were in the know suddenly realized with a shock that before the Luan Gu Divine Sect was destroyed,

its subordinate forces—the Luanjin Holy Alliance, the Martial Alliance, and Luanjin Mountain—had already been wiped out one step ahead of the Luan Gu Divine Sect.

Including the Luan Gu Divine Sect, all of these Sect forces had been wiped out within a single day.

This was a premeditated war of heritage extermination targeted specifically at the Luan Gu Divine Sect.

The Luan Gu Divine Sect must have realized this as well, yet they still failed to escape the fate of having their heritage exterminated.

Just who could have so silently exterminated all the Sect forces under the faction of the Luan Gu Divine Sect?!

The living beings of the entire Wutian Prefecture began to speculate wildly.

Some said this was a test by a top force from another province, targeting the Imperial Clan Cheng Family.

They destroyed the Luan Gu Divine Sect and its subordinate forces just to see the reaction of the Imperial Clan Cheng Family.

Others said this was a declaration of war against the Imperial Clan Cheng Family by other Immortal Lineages within Wutian Prefecture.

Before long, a grand war between Immortal Lineages would erupt in Wutian Prefecture.

Unfortunately, not a single person's speculation mentioned the Wutian Kingdom, the remnant force of the former Wutian Empire.

In today's Wutian Prefecture, although the Wutian Kingdom was still quite famous,

this fame was at most a laughingstock and had absolutely nothing to do with strength.

The Luan Gu Divine Sect was a Saint King-grade force with multiple Saint King experts presiding over it.

The mere Wutian Kingdom, with only Saint Realm experts presiding, how could it possibly destroy such a powerful force?!

Ancestor Su Wanhe and Su Qianqi, who were in the capital of the Wutian Kingdom, naturally received the news of the Luan Gu Divine Sect's destruction as well.

Upon learning of the Luan Gu Divine Sect's destruction, the grandfather and grandson both wept with joy.

The Young Master's strength was truly peerless and matchless; he could even easily destroy the Luan Gu Divine Sect.

With the Young Master's assistance, their Wutian Kingdom would surely wash away its humiliation and return to its Peak.

The Wutian Kingdom could finally stand tall and no longer had to look at others' expressions!

The other four Great Saint Level forces located around the Wutian Kingdom fell into a dead silence.

The experts within these Great Saint Level forces were all filled with panic and dread.

Vaguely, they all had a speculation—a very bold speculation.

This time, the mysterious person had prioritized wiping out Luanjin Mountain, which had been causing trouble in the Wutian Kingdom.

Following that, tracing the clues from Luanjin Mountain, they went on to destroy the Luanjin Holy Alliance and the Martial Alliance.

And after that, the Luan Gu Divine Sect, the superior force of the Luanjin Holy Alliance and the Martial Alliance, was also wiped out by that mysterious person.

All of these actions did nothing but validate the truth of their bold speculation.

A mysterious expert was helping the Wutian Kingdom, wiping out the forces that targeted it one by one!

They did not know why that mysterious expert had not come to their places to destroy them yet!

But they knew very well that if they did not make some sort of gesture soon, they would probably not be far from destruction!

An hour after the destruction of the Luan Gu Divine Sect, Great Saint Realm experts left all four Great Saint Level forces.

The direction these Great Saint Realm experts headed was highly consistent—all of them were going to the capital of the Wutian Kingdom.

They were going to the Wutian Kingdom to meet its current ruler and state their stance.

They were absolutely different from the likes of the Luanjin Holy Alliance and the Martial Alliance; they would no longer deliberately target the Wutian Kingdom.

If the Wutian Kingdom wanted to expand its influence outward, they would absolutely not obstruct it.

On the contrary, they would fully support the Wutian Kingdom and stop meddling in this muddy water.

The Luanjin Holy Alliance and the Martial Alliance had a Saint King-grade force and even an Immortal Lineage backing them, but they didn't!

These four Great Saint Level forces of theirs had only been targeting the Wutian Kingdom using their own strength!

Seeing how critical the situation was now, how could they dare to seek their own deaths again?!

Ye Chen was unaware of these developments.

At this moment, he was in a secluded valley.

Within the quiet and beautiful valley, many small beasts frolicked and played, and the fragrance of orchids drifted in all directions.

Deep inside this valley, Ye Chen sat cross-legged, breathing in and out the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

On his body, his cultivation aura was concealed beneath his skin, not spilling out to the outside world.

The three types of Profound Truth power only circled around his body, with no terrifying aura escaping.

"Phew!"

At a certain moment, Ye Chen exhaled a breath of turbid air, slowly opened his eyes, and a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.

"A Saint King Realm expert is indeed worthy of being a Saint King Realm expert. The Saint King-grade Saint Dao Profound Truth they possess is truly profound."

"Just a single Saint King Realm expert is equivalent to ten, twenty, or even more Great Saint Realm experts."

"This trip to the Luan Gu Divine Sect was truly worthwhile!"

He had already fully refined all the experts of the Luan Gu Divine Sect, turning them into his own cultivation.

Now, his Spiritual Qi Cultivation Base had reached the Peak of the first level of the Saint King Realm.

His Physical Body cultivation had taken a few more steps forward from its previous foundation, breaking through to the fourth level of the Saint King Realm.

His Divine Soul cultivation was far superior to both his Spiritual Qi Cultivation Base and his Physical Body cultivation, reaching the seventh level of the Saint King Realm.

His comprehension of the Sword Intent had also reached thirty percent of the Saint King-grade Saint Dao Profound Truth.

His Blade Intent was slightly inferior, but it had also successfully broken through to the Saint King-grade Saint Dao Profound Truth as he wished, reaching twenty percent comprehension.

The same went for his Fist Intent, which reached ten percent comprehension of the Saint King-grade Saint Dao Profound Truth.

Now, whether it was his Profound Truth power or his three types of cultivation, all had stepped into the Saint King Realm!

Ye Chen stood up, stretched, cast a glance at this secluded valley, and did not linger for long.

Taking a step forward, his figure instantly vanished from this quiet valley.

He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, this valley would be completely destroyed due to the arrival of his Heavenly Tribulation.

In this cruel cultivation world, such a beautiful place was rare to find; it must not be destroyed because of him!

High up in the sky, thirty thousand miles away from the valley, Ye Chen's figure reappeared.

Raising his head slightly, he noticed that the sky was already nearing dusk, with the sun setting behind the western hills.

However, there was still no sign of any tribulation clouds or tribulation lightning gathering.

Seeing this, Ye Chen withdrew his gaze and pondered slightly.

It seemed he would still need to wait a moment longer for the Heavenly Tribulation to arrive.

This time, after his Spiritual Qi Cultivation Base broke through to the Saint King Realm, he clearly noticed something.

The energy consumed by a Saint King Realm expert to break through far exceeded that of a Great Saint Realm expert.

Even though he had devoured a total of eight Saint King Realm experts this time, including one at the sixth level of the Saint King Realm,

along with various miscellaneous Great Saint Realm and Saint Realm experts—meaning he had devoured a significant number of experts—

even so, the energy obtained only allowed his Spiritual Qi Cultivation Base to break through to the Peak of the first level of the Saint King Realm.

It was still slightly lacking the energy required to break through to the second level of the Saint King Realm.

Although this was partly because his Divine Soul cultivation and Physical Body cultivation had shared some of the energy,

it further demonstrated the massive energy gap required for Breakthroughs in the Saint King Realm compared to those below it.

It seemed that in the future, if he wanted to quickly break through his cultivation again, he would need to devour even more powerful existences!

"Rumble!!!"

While Ye Chen was lost in thought, a violent rumbling suddenly resounded from the infinitely high sky.

One after another, black tribulation clouds rapidly gathered, and in a short while, they spread across the sky for hundreds of thousands of miles.

Deep within these black tribulation clouds, nearly pure black tribulation lightning rolled continuously, carrying a devastating aura of world destruction.

The Heavenly Tribulation... had arrived!
