Legend of the Great Sage

t the perfect time.
The featherfolk showed me no respect at all, even harassing me.
Come lend me a hand!”

Bai Jie said in a hurry, “King of Eastern Lu, this has nothing to do with you, so you better not…”

“How dare they!”

The King of Eastern Lu had already flown into a rage with what the Cloud Shadow Crane King had said.
He took out a three-legged cauldron and hurled it at Clouded city.

The rumor was not accurate.
They were not just close with one another, but the best of friends as well.
During his youth, the King of Eastern Lu had once travelled the east sea on the back of a crane.
This was a friendship that had already lasted an entire millennium.

The tiny cauldron swelled through the air, turning into the size of a mountain.
It was engraved with clouds and stars, as well as the landscape of the Cloud province.
It was one of the nine cauldrons, the Cloud Province cauldron.

Boom!

Clouded city’s advance came to a sudden halt.

The King of Eastern Lu formed seals with both hands and chanted away.
The rainbow cloud beneath his feet rose and spread, pressing towards Clouded city in layers.

Only now did he ask the Cloud Shadow Crane King through his soul sense, “Fortunately I heard the disturbance and made my way over.
What exactly happened here? Why are you angry with these featherfolk and who exactly is undergoing the heavenly tribulation? It doesn’t seem like a heavenly tribulation of ascension, but the disturbance…”

The Cloud Shadow Crane King told him about everything, as well as his own thoughts.

“I see, so something like that actually happened! This doesn’t seem to be related to you in any shape or form?”

The King of Eastern Lu remarked in surprise.
The oldster He he knew was not someone who would go to war over a single word, much less someone who would drag his friends into war with him.

“It’s got nothing to do with me.
It’s got something to do with you!” The Cloud Shadow Crane King replied.

The King of Eastern Lu glanced at the distance again and nodded in understanding, “This is indeed an opportunity.”

How could others be allowed to snore and make a ruckus right by his bedside? That was why the ancient King of Southern Yue went to war with the merfolk, leaving behind the Lost Stalks of the King of Yue, not to mention the fact that the featherfolk were literally strutting around over his head.

However, the feather folk posed a much greater threat than the merfolk.
Even if they did not compete against him for resources, they were basically a sword hanging over his head with all the forces they had gathered over several thousand years.
Once the time was ripe, the King of Eastern Lu’s estate would probably face a disaster.
The past Kings of Eastern Lu had all tried to find a way to deal with this lurking source of trouble, but they were incapable unfortunately.

“Bai Chen’s just lost the feather.
We definitely can’t just let him devour the phoenix.
He’s begun coveting the Cloud Plane a long time ago.
Now that the world is in chaos and Great Xia no longer possesses its former might, he’ll definitely take action.
Before you and I ascend, we have to deal with this problem for our juniors at the very least, just in case they become enslaved again,” said the Cloud Shadow Crane King.

“That’s what I’m thinking too.
Let me summon the White Dragon King and we’ll blast Clouded city to pieces!”

With a swing of his hand, the King of Eastern Lu tossed out a tablet of edict, gathering all the honoured guests.

The Daemon King and human king of the Cloud province worked together to keep Clouded city where it was, so it could not advance another inch forwards.

By now, the tribulation clouds had already enveloped everything, dragging it all into its range.
It also became even more intense as a result.

In terms of scale alone, even the Golden Cicada Spirit King’s heavenly tribulation of ascension came nowhere close.

The featherfolk cultivators gradually weakened and gave way.
Not only were they unable to push Clouded city away, it had instead been pushed back by several kilometers.
The protective formation faced the furious barrage of lightning and the barrier of white light became much dimmer.
Even the structures in the city began to tremble gently.

The King of Eastern Lu clicked his tongue secretly.
The capabilities of people were still limited at the end of the day.
If it were not for the might of the heavenly tribulation, even unleashing the strength of all the great cultivators in the Cloud province would not be enough to breach Clouded city.

“No, if this continues, we’ll all die!” A featherfolk called out.

“We can slip away, but what about the people in the city? Once the formation falls, it’ll devastate the entire race!”

“What do we do? What do we do?”

Bai Jie became filled with despair too.
Was the divine bird really blessed by the heavens, where killing it lead to bad luck.

Suddenly, she dove resolutely into the depths of this lightning.
This could not continue any further.
She had to end this heavenly tribulation, no matter what she had to do!
