Monarch of Time

For the first time since the death of the supreme expert who had created it, the sky above the King's Palace had turned into a pure white color, as the black thunderclouds had all been forcefully pushed aside by the enormous thundercloud of the Heavenly Tribulation.

A few moments later, there was no one else left inside the King's Palace other than Shun Long.

The Northern Sovereign and the powerful experts who were following behind her had all escorted everyone else outside of the palace, afraid that they would end up getting caught in the Heavenly Tribulation as well.

BOOOOOM!

BOOOOOOOOOM!

''What kind of Heavenly Tribulation is this? How much longer is it going to store power for?'' One of the experts who was standing next to the Northern Sovereign couldn't help but comment as he stared at the massive white-colored thundercloud above the King's Palace from the distance.

Sparks of white lightning had already appeared around the white-colored thundercloud as they crackled with terrifying power, and yet the Heavenly Tribulation had yet to descend. Instead, it seemed like it was still storing its power, as the natural qi in the air around the King's Palace had turned into a giant vortex that was being absorbed into the white thundercloud of the Heavenly Tribulation.

It was almost as if he had finally sensed the disturbance in the qi around him, as Shun Long finally opened his eyes and raised his head to look at the sky, where 3 enormous, white bolts of lightning entered his vision.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

It was nearly at the same time that Shun Long had opened his eyes, that the 3 gigantic bolts of lightning descended from the sky simultaneously, as they aimed to pierce through his head.

The destructive power inside these 3 bolts of Heavenly Tribulation seemed to have reached its peak, and was even slightly stronger than the 3 lightning bolts that Jiang Chen and young lady Niu had faced during their own Heavenly Tribulations, causing even space itself to ripple.

And yet, Shun Long had a calm look on his face as he looked at those 3 bolts of white lightning above his head, before he mumbled to himself in an almost inaudible voice

''...Monarch's Domain!''

Shun Long's eyes instantly turned golden as the invisible figure of an hourglass expanded from his body, before the flow of time around him forcibly came to a halt.

This was the first time that Shun Long was testing his full strength ever since he had reached the peak of rank 9 in the Nascent Soul.

The 3 bolts of Heavenly Tribulation that were even thicker than an adult's man's waist immediately slowed down the moment they entered inside his 'Monarch's Domain', as they ended up losing more than half of their speed. And yet, the 3 bolts of lightning didn't stop but were only slowed down, as they kept descending towards Shun Long's head.

Shun Long could sense that the power behind these 3 bolts of lightning was still enough to destroy the soul of nearly every single peak rank 9 Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

Even he would be severely injured if he took this attack head-on.

Waving his hand, Shun Long took out the black sword from the 'Stone of Time' and held it in front of him, before he slashed it forward a moment later!

''Thundergod's slash!''

The runes and patterns on the black sword's surface all lit up at the same time the moment that Shun Long infused his qi inside the sword, before a black-colored slash that was crackling with sparks of lightning left the sword's edge and collided with the 3 bolts of Heavenly Tribulation that were now just a few centimeters(inches) away from his head.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The bolts of Heavenly Tribulation trembled momentarily the moment that they collided with the 'Thundergod's slash', before the 'Thundergod's slash' was almost instantly destroyed.

Even after losing more than half of their strength after entering Shun Long's 'Monarch's Domain', the 3 bolts of Heavenly Tribulation were still strong enough to easily destroy his Saint low-grade martial skill.

Shun Long didn't have enough time to launch another attack, as the 3 bolts of lightning appeared in front of him and pierced through his glabella, entering inside his spiritual space.

Shun Long could feel feeling a sharp pain the moment that the 3 bolts of Heavenly Tribulation pierced through the space between his eyebrows and entered his spiritual space, causing his body to turn rigid.

And yet, a surprising thing happened the moment that the 3 bolts of Heavenly Tribulation entered Shun Long's spiritual space.

Shun Long's spiritual sea that had undergone some changed and was now shining with a mix of a blue and golden color instantly rumbled the moment that it sensed the existence of the 3 bolts of Heavenly Tribulation, as a gigantic wave of spiritual strength swallowed the 3 white lightning bolts.

Although Shun Long felt a wave of pain momentarily affecting his soul, a soothing feeling followed soon after as the 3 waves of Heavenly Tribulation disappeared from his spiritual space, turning into a gentle stream of energy that entered his spiritual sea.

Shun Long could feel both his soul and his spiritual sea being strengthened extremely quickly as they absorbed the energy of the 3 bolts of Heavenly Tribulation!

Shun Long already knew that every bolt of Heavenly Tribulation carried with it a terrifying destructive energy that could obliterate a person's soul, but it also had a wave of energy that nourished a cultivator's soul and allowed them to become even stronger.

However, just as Shun Long was about to relish in this feeling of enjoyment, as he felt his soul and spiritual sea strengthening themselves, a sudden feeling of danger sprouted in his heart, causing him to hurriedly open his eyes and turn to look at the sky above him.

At the same time, inside the foggy space in the 'Stone of Time', Little Black who had stayed silent for so long stared at the sky above Shun Long's head, before the black dragon said in a grave voice

''Master.... be careful!''
