"Whoosh!" The World-Destroying Sword became a streak of blue light and entered Owner Bu's consciousness.

After which, Owner Bu felt that he had been revitalized as if being one with the sword recovered his lost vigor many years ago.

"This feeling..." But that's not just it. Suddenly, waves after waves of qi began entering his body. It circulated rapidly in his veins as the dao symbols he remembered in the past played out in his mind.

"Weng!" Then, Owner Bu got a realization, an epiphany of the heaven and earth. Blue-colored energy began circulating around him as it created a massive shockwave all around!

"Boom!" Countless particles scattered into all directions.

"A massive breakthrough." Jin Rou was surprised as he muttered these words to himself, "From an Immortal Emperor to Heavenly Saint, that's one quite of an achievement. Incredible."

Even Jin Rou couldn't help but be amazed with this spectacle. After all, how many cultivators were capable of achieving this feat? Perhaps only a handful.

Take note, not just everyone could make this sword be owned! As it said a while ago, even Ancients and Ethereals have to bow before it. So one could already expect that it was indeed, a World Treasure.

"Even in our realm, this sword might catch a high price." Jin Rou thought. As World Treasures weren't made by their family or by their realm, it was indeed a treasure that could enter their eyes.

Owner Bu sat down in lotus position as he closed his eyes. The breakthrough process wasn't done yet. He focused in stabilizing his body and was trying to calm the rampaging qi in his body down.

"Crash! Crash!" Soon enough, the world turned gloomy. Dark clouds began to circulate above the head of Owner Bu. Thunderclaps could be heard, as it threatens and loomed above Owner Bu.

Owner Bu was now sweating profusely. He was nervous or to be precise, scared. After all, this last step was no joke and could be the hardest to bypass!

Dao's Tribulation!

Though it was the same as the tribulation that Godhood cultivators mostly experience even after breakthrough, this kind wasn't as deadly as the Heavenly Tribulation.

But you couldn't underestimate it. Because even if you survive, you might be crippled for life and live only like a mortal! One slight step might lead you into despair.

However, he gritted his teeth, ready to embrace the incoming suffering. He needed to endure if he wanted to exact revenge against that constellation for all the pain and humiliation he suffered!

He could do it! No, he must do it or else everything would be for naught. If he could endure enough to pass this tribulation, then with the power of a Heavenly Saint, he had a higher chance of winning against that enemy. Though, the chances were still low, at least it increased.

Of course, Jin Rou was also aware with this. Even him, who already reached the apex, experienced this countless of times during his cultivation. No one was an exception here. The Rou Celestial Family also experienced this, in fact.

"Here it comes..." Jin Rou spoke seriously. If anything were to happen that might endanger Owner Bu, he would immediately save him from this tribulation, "This tribulation is stronger than the normal. Is it because of the World-Destroying Sword?"

Thus, he was prepared to save the old man even if he needed to destroy the tribulation.

—

The climbing cultivators also noticed and felt this the more that they were getting nearer.

And it made them surprised.

"Someone is now having a breakthrough! And it's not just a breakthrough of a normal caliber!"

"Indeed. This kind of tribulation, it is a Dao Tribulation of potential Heavenly Saints!"

"A new Heavenly Saint will be born!"

"That person must have gotten a treasure here in True Mountain, that's why he is able to have a potential breakthrough here! Quick! We need to get that treasure before he succeeds!"

In an instant, the greed in their hearts were ignited. These cultivators didn't belong to any constellations here. Thus, even if they were to offend someone, they could just run away and hide. Of course, if the enemy was from a behemoth constellation like the Von Clay, they won't touch him or her.

But what are the chances that a Von Clay member was here in True Mountain? Low. There was only a low probability of it being right. After all, this place was very very far from that place.

And for the other behemoth on par with Von Clay? They were farther than Von Clay so that must be more unlikely.

And this assumption, was why they were daring to come over and thinking to snatch the unknown treasure.

After a few minutes of climbing, they were almost at the peak when they suddenly stopped.

There's a man with a black-colored hair standing in front of them. He was normal-looking except for his above normal handsomeness.

Of course, this is Jin Rou.

His hands were both behind his back as he smiled at the group of cultivators saying, "Leave. This place is off-limits for now. You can come back later if you want to."

"And who are you to speak like this to us? Are you an Ethereal?" A red-haired cultivator snorted. He was looking like a bandit.

"I am not." Jin Rou shook his head. Indeed, he was not an Ethereal.

"Then move. Stop blocking our way." The red-haired got more aggressive knowing this, "Unless you want to die, that is."

Jin Rou chuckled. This type of person was quite common in this world, "I'm telling you, back off while you still can. A bunch of Grand Monarchs and Imperial Sovereigns weren't enough to enter my eyes. Well, you can try to pass over if you want."

"You're courting death!" The red-haired man was angered.

"Whoosh!" He bent his knee to charge speed and soar towards Jin Rou. He threw a punch enough that could kill a monarch in one shot.

"Heh." Jin Rou sneered and threw a counter punch against the red-haired.

"Boom!" The red-haired man was thrown away kilometers away with all his limbs gone. Blood scattered all over the place he passed by.
