My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

"Finished!"

At the sight of the Tribulation Thunder, even the Fire Clan elders, who were at a distance, were filled with despair. The Tribulation Thunder born from a massive Tribulation Cloud that covered a nation was unimaginably terrifying. The power of this Tribulation Thunder approached the origin of lightning itself. The strength of the first Tribulation Thunder was beyond what ordinary Divine Realm experts could resist.

At this moment, the Fire Clan elders could only be grateful that they were not the first to face such terrifying Tribulation Thunder. Otherwise, a single strike would obliterate them completely, leaving no trace or even residual soul.

Meanwhile, Mu Yuyan, who was rushing to the border, was stopped by an Azure Lotus Sword Light. It was a communication sword sent by Gu Lan, assuring her not to worry, as a few Divine Realm experts could do nothing against him. Neither could the Heavenly Tribulation.

"Darling... I believe in you!"

Mu Yuyan halted her advance.

Buzz!

The Hongmeng Sword in Gu Lan's hand emitted a tremendous sword hum.

"Are you... ready to fight?"

As the Tribulation Thunder descended, Gu Lan did not look at it. Instead, he calmly gazed at the sword in his hand. The Hongmeng Sword had been with him for a long time and was his most adept treasure. The connection between him and the sword had reached the level of mutual understanding. He had long achieved the state of unity with the sword, where the sword's intent and his own were one.

In silence, Gu Lan held the Hongmeng Sword, his presence like a calm sea, with only the vast Sword Intent boiling.

The silent Tribulation Thunder approached in an instant!

At the same time, Gu Lan struck with his sword.

This strike was devoid of any extravagant sword techniques or formations, merely a simple forward slash. The slash released two-colored sword light—blue and purple.

The sword light met the Tribulation Thunder, cutting through it as easily as slicing tofu.

Following that, the terrifying power of thunder erupted.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft... The sounds of spitting blood were continuous. The Fire Clan elders, who were at the farthest distance from the Tribulation Thunder's impact, were hit by the residual force, as if it had been deliberately guided their way.

Even the residual force was too much for them to withstand. They lacked the protection of Merit Golden Clouds. As soon as they encountered the residual impact of the Tribulation Thunder, their protective divine abilities shattered. Their bodies, veins, and organs were destroyed, and even their souls were not spared, invaded by the thunder's origin, rendering them numb.

The seven figures fell from the sky like broken kites.

The Nine-Winged Dragon also felt the impact of the Tribulation Thunder, but being Gu Lan's mount and protected by the Merit power, along with its formidable physical strength and distance from the explosion, it remained unharmed. Instead, it absorbed the power of the Tribulation Thunder to nourish itself.

However, the power was so immense that it could not fully refine it in a short time and could only integrate it into its body for gradual refinement.

While refining the Tribulation Thunder's power, the Nine-Winged Dragon did not forget to pursue the enemy. It spread its nine pairs of wings and used a divine ability to sweep across the Fire Clan elders and their group.

The terrifying dark wind shattered their bodies, leaving only their souls in a paralyzed state from the Tribulation Thunder's attack.

The Nine-Winged Dragon did not miss this opportunity, unhesitatingly opening its massive jaws and devouring the seven Divine Realm souls.

Hiss!

After consuming the souls, it let out a puff of black smoke, as if burping after a meal.

With the Heavenly Tribulation descending, the seven Divine Realm experts were instantly annihilated. Even Gu Lan did not need to take direct action, and the Nine-Winged Dragon did not use its full strength—the enemies had already fallen.

At this moment, the power of the Tribulation Thunder in the sky slowly dissipated, revealing Gu Lan at the center of the Tribulation Thunder. He held the purple and blue-patterned Hongmeng Sword, standing on the Azure Lotus Sword Light, and his Merit Golden Robe radiated boundless light.

The first Tribulation Thunder had caused him no harm.

The annihilation of the Fire Clan elders was unexpected. He hadn't anticipated that these Divine Realm experts were so incapable that even the residual force of the Tribulation Thunder was too much for them.

But this was beneficial; with these people dying under the Heavenly Tribulation, no news would leak out, greatly benefiting the development of the Lanyan Royal School. It was likely that the Immortal Realm was in turmoil.

Especially the Fire Clan and Thunder Clan, who had lost several Divine Realm experts, would surely be in agony.

Thinking of this, Gu Lan smiled slightly and looked at the Tribulation Cloud in the sky.

"It seems I need to increase the intensity!"

He spoke softly, raising the Hongmeng Sword.

At this moment, the second Tribulation Thunder was already brewing. However, Gu Lan could not wait any longer and took the initiative.

The countless sword lights, gathering in the sky due to his Sword Intent, emitted sword sounds as they shot out wave after wave of sword shadows, raining down upon the Tribulation Cloud.

Faced with such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation, Gu Lan did not retreat or hide. Instead, he chose to take the initiative.

Even if it meant provoking the Heavenly Tribulation to unleash stronger Tribulation Thunders, he remained unafraid. This was exactly the effect he desired.

The greater the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, the more benefits he would gain after overcoming it.

Gu Lan had already experienced the wonders of the Creation Power and now sought more. His Creation Body allowed him to fully develop all his physical attributes. He did not even know how strong he was now.

In any case, he was unafraid of the Tribulation Cloud in the sky.

Rumble!

The deafening thunder continued.

As if angered by Gu Lan's provocation, the Tribulation Cloud delayed the second Tribulation Thunder, continuing to accumulate power.

The Tribulation Cloud was preparing for a grand release, intending to teach this challenger a severe lesson.

But Gu Lan showed no signs of stopping.

The myriad sword lights plunged into the Tribulation Cloud, and Gu Lan's figure split into multiple forms, appearing as countless Gu Lans.

One Breath Into Three Clarity!

Although he had only perfected one Three Clarity avatar, Gu Lan could still use the One Breath Into Three Clarity divine ability. Each Gu Lan was a mere illusion with less power than his main body.

Countless Three Clarity avatars raised their Hongmeng Swords and struck simultaneously.

Waves of sword light bombarded the Tribulation Cloud.

All fear stemmed from insufficient firepower.

At this moment, Gu Lan's relentless attack completely enraged the Tribulation Cloud.

The Tribulation Cloud retaliated with countless thunderballs, bombarding Gu Lan's position.

The continuous roaring sounds were so overwhelming that, if not for the immense volume and the spectacle, it would seem like a grand fireworks display.

"To clash with the Heavenly Tribulation—can this even be called human?"

On Tianqiong Mountain, the cultivators at the Daoist altar stared in astonishment at the scene in the sky. They thought they were hallucinating, but reality proved otherwise.

Everything was real.

An invincible powerhouse had emerged from the Earthly Realm, a prodigious figure so astonishing it was beyond belief!

To clash with the Heavenly Tribulation—was this something an ordinary Human Clan could achieve?

Yet, considering Gu Lan's true dragon bloodline, it made some sense.
