358: Help Dugu Xiong overcome his tribulation

“Old Ancestor! You must hold on, you cannot perish under the Emperor Heavenly Tribulation.”

“That's right, Old Ancestor. If you perish, who knows what will happen to the descendants of our Xuan Yue Dynasty.”

“Wuwu, Old Ancestor, Xiao Cao still needs your protection, you absolutely cannot perish.”

Dugu Nianyu and Dugu Cao, along with dozens of descendants of the Xuan Yue Dynasty.

All of them silently prayed in their hearts, hoping Dugu Xiong could successfully pass the Emperor Heavenly Tribulation.

If Dugu Xiong were to perish under the Heavenly Tribulation, they would very likely be expelled from Qingtian Sect.

After all, Dugu Xiong was the one who spearheaded their submission to Qingtian Sect, and Qingtian Sect valued Dugu Xiong. If Dugu Xiong perished, they would be utterly useless.

“You, Xiao Xiong, can't even pass a mere Emperor Heavenly Tribulation. You're truly disappointing.” Seeing this situation, Jiang Chen revealed an expression of profound disappointment.

He was originally waiting to receive Dugu Xiong's epic treasure chest.

He hadn't expected Dugu Xiong couldn't even pass the Emperor Heavenly Tribulation. If Dugu Xiong perished under the Emperor Heavenly Tribulation, Jiang Chen would have to go to the Xuan Yue Dynasty, pick someone else to Cultivate individually, and who knows how much time it would take to acquire this epic treasure chest.

Of course, if he didn't want to wait, he could only rush into the Tribulation Cloud and help Dugu Xiong Undergo Tribulation. However, doing so would increase the power of the Emperor Heavenly Tribulation by an unknown multiple, posing a certain degree of danger.

“Hmph, a mere Emperor Heavenly Tribulation dares to act presumptuously before This Sect Master. Watch as This Sect Master smashes you.” After pondering for a moment, Jiang Chen coldly snorted and decided to help Dugu Xiong Undergo Tribulation.

Although he didn't know how much the power of the Tribulation Cloud would increase if he helped someone else pass the Emperor Heavenly Tribulation.

But since he possessed the Undying Divine Body, he wasn't afraid of being destroyed by the Heavenly Tribulation; he could treat it as a fun lightning strike.

“Boom boom boom!”

As the fourth wave of the Emperor Heavenly Tribulation was blocked by Dugu Xiong's Natal Sacred Artifact.

The Emperor Lightning Tribulation in the sky continued to rumble, and then the fifth wave of Emperor Lightning Tribulation struck down toward Dugu Xiong without pause.

“I am unwilling!” Watching the Emperor Lightning Tribulation strike down, Dugu Xiong let out an unwilling roar.

At this moment, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and the Natal Sacred Artifact in his hand was already cracked. He had absolutely no ability left to resist the fifth wave of the Emperor Heavenly Tribulation; today, he was destined to perish under the Heavenly Tribulation.

Yet, only after thousands of years of arduous Cultivation and encountering a Heaven-Defying Opportunity like Qingtian Sect did he have the chance to Cultivate to the Emperor Realm.

But now, he couldn't even pass the Emperor Heavenly Tribulation, leaving him with deep resentment.

“Enough, stop howling here!”

Just as the fifth wave of the Emperor Heavenly Tribulation was about to land on Dugu Xiong.

Jiang Chen instantly appeared beside Dugu Xiong, shattered the fifth wave of the Emperor Heavenly Tribulation, and then looked calmly at Dugu Xiong.

“Hiss, Upper... Upper Sect Master?”

Seeing Jiang Chen appear beside him and shatter the fifth wave of the Emperor Heavenly Tribulation, Dugu Xiong was utterly stunned.

However, his stunned state lasted only a moment before he immediately recovered, saying tearfully, “Upper Sect Master, this is the Emperor Heavenly Tribulation! You shouldn't risk yourself for this lowly life of mine.”

“Upper Sect Master, hurry and go down, or it will be too late!” Dugu Xiong shouted anxiously at Jiang Chen.

He was very clear about the punishment for helping others Undergo Tribulation.

Because some Ancient Jade Slips mentioned that there were Cultivators who, relying on their powerful strength, wanted to help others Undergo Tribulation.

And these Cultivators, regardless of their Realm, all perished under the Heavenly Tribulation. He had never heard of anyone successfully helping another person Undergo Tribulation.

It was truly unwise for Jiang Chen to intervene now and block the fifth wave of the Heavenly Tribulation for him.

After all, if his lowly life died, so be it. But if he implicated Jiang Chen, he wouldn't be able to rest in peace even after death.

“Hiss, it's... it's Sect Master, he actually wants to help that old servant Undergo Tribulation. Isn't that too reckless?”

“That's right, this is the Emperor Heavenly Tribulation! No one has ever succeeded in the lower Rank Heavenly Tribulations, so succeeding in the Emperor Heavenly Tribulation is even more impossible.”

Just as Dugu Xiong was about to die under the fifth wave of the Emperor Heavenly Tribulation, Jiang Chen suddenly appeared in the sky and blocked the Heavenly Tribulation for Dugu Xiong.

The Disciples of Qingtian Sect below all showed expressions of tension and worry.

One must know that the taboo of helping others Undergo Tribulation is known to every Cultivator.

Now that Jiang Chen had blocked the Heavenly Tribulation for Dugu Xiong, he likely triggered the Heavenly Tribulation Taboo. They were genuinely afraid that Jiang Chen would be struck dead by the Heavenly Tribulation.

While the Qingtian Sect Disciples were tense and worried, the dozens of people from the Xuan Yue Dynasty were even more terrified, losing all color and trembling all over.

If Dugu Xiong had perished under the Emperor Heavenly Tribulation previously, they might have only been expelled from Qingtian Sect.

Now that Jiang Chen had gone up to help Dugu Xiong Undergo Tribulation, if he failed to pass it or suffered any harm, it wouldn't be as simple as being expelled from Qingtian Sect; the entire Xuan Yue Dynasty would risk total annihilation.

“Upper Sect Master is mighty! Upper Sect Master, you must help the Old Ancestor pass this Great Tribulation.”

“Yes, yes! I, Dugu Cao, pray to The Heavens to bless the Upper Sect Master to pass this Great Tribulation. As long as the Upper Sect Master can pass this Great Tribulation, Dugu Cao will pray daily and thank The Heavens for their grace.”

Dugu Nianyu and Dugu Cao, along with dozens of Xuan Yue Dynasty Cultivation servants, all knelt on the ground, begging The Heavens to show great mercy and ensure nothing happened to Jiang Chen, or else they would truly die.

“Hehe, it's already too late.”

Under the Emperor Tribulation Cloud, Jiang Chen smiled as he looked at the weeping Dugu Xiong. “Xiao Xiong, since you have submitted to my Qingtian Sect, This Sect Master must naturally ensure your safety. Even if it means acting Heaven-Defyingly, This Sect Master must fulfill his promise.”

“Don't worry about this Emperor Heavenly Tribulation. This Sect Master will help you pass it. If we can't pass it, then let us both perish together.”

After speaking, Jiang Chen casually looked up at the Emperor Heavenly Tribulation above, leaving Dugu Xiong with a profile that was almost excessively handsome.

Of course, he wouldn't tell Dugu Xiong that he came up to help Undergo Tribulation because he possessed the Undying Divine Body and wasn't afraid of being struck dead by the Emperor Heavenly Tribulation.

As the Upper Sect Master, he needed the people of his Affiliated Forces to be eternally grateful.

“Upper Sect Master!!”

After hearing Jiang Chen's words, Dugu Xiong was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes. He immediately knelt in the air and vigorously kowtowed to Jiang Chen, remorsefully saying, “It is Xiao Xiong's uselessness that forced the Upper Sect Master to take this risk. Even if Xiao Xiong's Divine Soul is extinguished and he falls into eternal Reincarnation, it would be difficult to atone for today's sin.”

After Dugu Xiong finished speaking, he knelt in the air, not daring to rise.

Jiang Chen was using his noble body to help him Undergo Tribulation; how could he dare to remain standing?

If Jiang Chen failed to pass the Heavenly Tribulation today, Dugu Xiong would have no choice but to use his body as a shield and rush toward the Heavenly Tribulation. Even if he died, he had to die before Jiang Chen.
