Chapter 730: The White Tiger Demon Emperor’s Unease

A mass of white light appeared as well, slightly weaker than the red light but not by much.

The Celestial Fox Demon Emperor's somber voice followed, "I don't know what's happening. It's beyond my control."

"

You don't know what's happening

? Look at your damn Sacred Mountain!" The voice within the red light was growing even more furious.

The Celestial Fox Demon Emperor had naturally sensed the changes on the Celestial Fox Sacred Mountain—it was, after all, his domain.

A voice tinged with surprise and disbelief echoed from a deep blue light: "A tribulation, this is a tribulation!"

"A tribulation? What kind of tribulation is this? How could such a terrifying tribulation appear?" The voice within the red light belonged to none other than the Sun-Nurtured Sunborne Nymph Emperor, the most powerful Emperor of the Solstice Empire and the leader of all nymphs. Even he was filled with confusion at this moment.

The Celestial Fox Demon Emperor said gravely, "Whatever it is, we must deal with this tribulation first. Let's combine our strength to disperse the tribulation clouds."

"Let's do it!"

Although the relationship between the demons and the nymphs was delicate, they always stood united on major issues.

In an instant, beams of intense light shot into the sky like pillars, striking the massive tribulation clouds above.

The massive tribulation clouds shook violently in the sky, and the heavens brightened in an instant. The dense, black clouds were pierced through, leaving gaping holes.

The combined power of a good dozen Emperors was quite literally sky-shattering. Even though these tribulation clouds were unprecedented in size and energy, they were dispersed in an instant.

However, each Emperor's expression turned extremely grim. When they used their strength to strike the tribulation clouds, they clearly felt the terrifying power within those clouds—a force capable of erasing one's essence. Although they managed to scatter the clouds, each of them had their fundamental essence visibly weakened.

This wasn't the type of energy that could be quickly restored; it was the fundamental essence of their bloodlines and divine consciousness, cultivated over countless years. Losing it meant not just being tired, but actually losing cultivation. Although they were only weakened by one percent, given their vast power, even one percent was a terrifying amount.

Amidst the glowing lights, the Emperors revealed their true forms, and their gazes almost all focused on the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor. They could all clearly see that this terrifying tribulation had originated from the Celestial Fox Sacred Mountain, the domain of the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor.

The Sun-Nurtured Sunborne Nymph Emperor spoke in a deep voice, "Celestial Fox, you owe everyone an explanation. What exactly is going on?"

The Celestial Fox Demon Emperor frowned deeply and replied in a grave tone, "If I told you that I don't know what's happening, would you believe me?"

The Earthshade Nymph Emperor coldly responded, "If you don't know, then investigate quickly—"

Just as she spoke, she suddenly sensed something and instinctively looked up at the sky, and the gravity in her eyes deepened.

It wasn't just her; the other Emperors also sensed it as the sky grew dark once again. This time, it was even more oppressive than before, and the terrifying pressure caused the Emperors' aura to brighten. This was because they needed to use more power to resist it.

The Undying Demon Emperor, who was standing beside the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor, couldn't help but ask, "Where did this tribulation come from?"

The Celestial Fox Demon Emperor turned to glance at him, then refocused his gaze toward the Celestial Fox Sacred Mountain. At this moment, he was not just confused, but outright shocked. Beneath the Celestial Fox Sacred Mountain, there was...

Boom!

Thunder roared in the sky, and terrifying purple lightning crisscrossed. In the next moment, a massive bolt of lightning descended from the heavens, striking the barrier formed by the Emperors with tremendous force.

The barrier trembled violently, and the Emperors' bodies quaked, their faces revealing shock. If this world-ending power struck the Ancestral Court, it could mean the end!

"I'll go check it out," the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor said hastily, not daring to delay. He turned into a beam of white light and shot toward the Celestial Fox Sacred Mountain.

In midair, the pure white, jade-like shadow of a nine-tailed fox appeared behind him. The enormous nine tails swayed in the air, releasing rings of milky-white light that covered the Celestial Fox Sacred Mountain and its surroundings, concealing its aura.

After just a short observation, the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor calmed down. His senses were the clearest, and there was no doubt that the terrifying tribulation clouds in the sky had been drawn by the Celestial Fox Sacred Mountain—more precisely, by the golden light emanating from beneath the mountain. He didn't know what kind of power could attract such a fearsome tribulation, but he

did

know what was being kept beneath the Celestial Fox Sacred Mountain.

The Hell Garden!

His first thought was that the negative forces being suppressed within the Hell Garden had not been adequately fed. Was the garden lacking in life essence?

But he quickly dismissed this idea. The Hell Garden was guarded by the Heavenly Bloom, the essence of destiny he had left behind, or rather, the source of fortune for the entire Daemon Continent. It couldn't be so easily disturbed. Therefore, the force that had attracted this tribulation had to be external, something unprecedented.

When the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor descended upon the peak of the Celestial Fox Sacred Mountain, his nine tails spread out like a canopy, controlling all the energy in the area and forcibly blocking the influence of the golden light below.

Sure enough, the tribulation clouds in the sky seemed to have lost their target, becoming noticeably calmer, and no more lightning bolts fell. This confirmed that the arrival of this tribulation was due to something going wrong beneath the Celestial Fox Sacred Mountain.

Whether they were Demon or Nymph Emperors, they all knew that the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor held in his hands the fortune of the Daemon Continent, with the Ancestral Court serving as the focal point of this fortune. This was why they could reap so many benefits here, and that was why the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor held such a high position within the Ancestral Court.

But at this moment, the sudden emergence of such a situation was something they could never have anticipated. The Celestial Fox Sacred Mountain had encountered a problem, and the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor, who controlled destiny, had not foreseen it?

The only one who had any idea about what was going on was the White Tiger Demon Emperor.

At this moment, the White Tiger Demon Emperor's heart was filled with a strange feeling.

Could it be... Was this caused by that boy?

He was the only one who knew that Tang San had also come to the Ancestral Court with Mei Gongzi. But during Mei Gongzi's assessment, or rather after they entered the Ancestral Court, they had parted ways. He had no doubt that the boy would do everything he could to help his granddaughter pass her evaluation. So where was he?

He had gone missing two days ago, whereabouts unknown. The White Tiger Demon Emperor hadn't been too concerned. Deep down, he didn't believe that during Mei Gongzi's assessment at the Ancestral Court, a boy who hadn't even reached godhood could accomplish anything significant.

But he could also see how much Mei Gongzi relied on Tang San. Today, Mei Gongzi's performance during her assessment could only be described as stunning. Her abilities, her foundation, even defeating an Immortal Flame Phoenix Great Demon King and gaining the support of many Emperors—these were things she shouldn't have been capable of. So, could it be related to that boy? Had he come to the Ancestral Court early to set something up?
