Chapter 500 - This Is Not an Immortal Emperor Thunder Tribul

Shen Ziyu nodded her head. “I need to settle some matters over there, so I will accompany you. My aircraft is docked outside.”
In Shen Ziyu’s opinion, Nong Xiuqi should be quite weak considering that the latter had only been by Di Jiu’s side for two years. Furthermore, Di Jiu had not been present in the Wang Chuan Temple in these two years. The Grain Sector Forest was not a very safe place to go. She could take care of Nong Xiuqi if she followed her.
The price of an aircraft was astronomical. Moreover, Shen Ziyu’s aircraft was made-to-order and was something an ordinary person could not get their hands on.
Nong Xiuqi wanted to say that she owned a flying boat herself, but she recalled that she had yet to use it for long distances. There was the possibility that it would fall from the sky. She herself knew how to cast the Aegis Gale Spell, but Shen Ziyu did not.
As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Nong Xiuqi was most likely the only person to worry about whether a flying Dharma treasure refined by an Immortal Supremacy would free fall without a reason.
…
The Grain Sector Forest was located in the Ural Mountains, along the borders of Eurasia. This border had become less prominent after the Earth had entered the era of the demon beasts.
The demon beasts and ferocious beasts in this area were exceptionally powerful. The average person would seldom come to such a place, with the exception of some top-notch adventurers and ancient martial arts practitioners.
This did not mean that this place was desolate, however. In truth, following the news that valuable flying demon beast eggs could be found on the Ural Mountains, many people would go there and gather in the Ka Bie River Town.
The Ka Bie River Town had originally been called Ka Liye. However, following the appearance of demon beasts, the place had gradually become a trading city. People from all over the world, including warriors and merchants, came to this place.
Warriors who visited would form teams and enter the Ural Mountains, selling the valuable materials obtained from ferocious beasts and the like in the Ka Bie River Town. The merchants in town would then transport these materials to other places.
More than 30 years ago, a python demon that had just attained level three had appeared in the Ural Mountains. The Earth Union had gathered many experts and killed that demon in a combined effort.
Due to this, the Earth Union had set up a garrison in the Ka Bie River Town.
This time, Shen Ziyu had been invited to this garrison. Although she had not wanted to go originally, Nong Xiuqi wanted to put herself to the test. Thus, she decided to accompany the latter to the Ka Bie River Town.Update by vip novel
The aircraft was docked by the huge square outside the Earth Union’s garrison in the Ka Bie River Town. Shen Ziyu lamented as she walked off the aircraft. “This place has become even livelier compared to how it was 30 years ago.”
“Union Lord Shen, you really came. Welcome, welcome.” A young man in red welcomed them in English as Shen Ziyu and Nong Xiuqi stepped down from the aircraft.
When his gaze landed on Nong Xiuqi, his eyes started burning with lustful delight.
Nong Xiuqi had stopped disguising herself after she’d started following Di Jiu. She was already pretty, but the combination of the cultivation technique Di Jiu had given her and the various resources consumed to improve her beauty had given her a more beautiful appearance.
This young man had never seen someone as beautiful as Nong Xiuqi. He instantly stepped forward and stretched his hand out. “Welcome, welcome. I’m Sa He, the Guild Master of the Ural Liberal Union.”
Nong Xiuqi did not shake hands with Sa He. She sensed intense lust in his gaze, which made her feel as though a swarm of insects were staring at her. This caused her great discomfort.
“The Ural Liberal Union?” Shen Ziyu looked at Sa He with a frown. “Why have I never heard of this organization before?”
Sa He retracted his hand when he saw that Nong Xiuqi had no intention of shaking it. Without an ounce of embarrassment, he replied, “Here’s what happened. Powerful demon beasts have been appearing all year round on the Ural Mountains. The Earth Union does have a garrison by the Ka Bie River, but there is no one there. Therefore, after some discussion, the consensus was that the Earth Union would evacuate this place and the Ural Liberal Union would take over to maintain the peace and freedom here.”
Shen Ziyu’s tone turned frosty. “Why did I not know about this? Where are Wa Di and Mu Linte?”
The reason she had come here was because Wa Di had invited her. Wa Di had told her that an immortal cultivator’s ruins had been discovered on the Ural Mountains. Unfortunately, the place was occupied by a peak level-two demon beast. Thus, she had been invited to fight alongside them.
Upon arriving, she had encountered a strange fella who claimed that the Earth Union had evacuated this place and the Ural Liberal Union had taken over.
Shen Ziyu had never met Wa Di and Mu Linte before, but she was certain that this was something they would not agree to.
Sa He shrugged. “They headed to the Ural Mountains, claiming that they had something important to attend to. Union Lord Shen, why don’t you get some rest first?”
“No need.” Shen Ziyu waved her hand in dismissal, not even bothering to enter the building before she turned with the intention of entering her aircraft.
“Union Lord Shen, wait up…” Sa He hastily stepped forward and blocked her path.
Shen Ziyu’s expression turned frosty. “Yes?”
“We moved here when the Earth Union of the Ka Bie River Town moved away. There are some documents that require your signature and seal. Union Lord Shen, I’m only following orders. Please don’t make things difficult for me.” Sa He informed her in a serious tone.
“There is no need. I do not agree to this. Tell whoever it is who gave you this order to find me,” demanded Shen Ziyu without hesitation.
As the Union Lord of the Earth Union, she did not care about obtaining power, nor did she like to abuse her authority. However, this did not mean that she could be bullied by anyone.
Sa He’s expression turned dark. He knew that he could not use force despite Shen Ziyu’s disapproval. It was not the right method to deal with an expert of Shen Ziyu’s caliber. He could only report this matter to his higher-ups so that they could deal with her instead.
He only hesitated for a short moment before he approached them again. “Union Lord Shen, I assume you are intending to head to the Ural Mountains. That place has honestly been too dangerous recently. This lady could wait for you in the Ka Bie River Town, least you are unable to take care of her should you encounter any danger.”
Upon seeing that Sa He was about to touch her, Nong Xiuqi lifted her leg and kicked him.
Her leg felt weightless as she easily kicked Sa He’s torso, sending him flying several dozen meters back. He then tumbled onto the ground.
Nong Xiuqi rubbed her forehead. She kept forgetting that she was a cultivator and could have just thrown a wind blade or fireball over to stop Sa He in his tracks. However, that was something she was not used to. Hence, she had lifted her leg and kicked instead.
In Nong Xiuqi’s opinion, the other party should be able to evade a fireball or wind blade. Otherwise, he would not have qualified to become the Guild Master of a Union.
She did not know that Sa He would certainly have been dead if she had really used fireballs or wind blades.
Shen Ziyu glanced at Nong Xiuqi in surprise. The latter appeared to be slightly over 20 years old. She could not have attained a higher level than the Black Tier no matter how great her aptitude was.
However, that kick had clearly shown Shen Ziyu that Nong Xiuqi’s strength was above that of a Black Tier warrior.
Shen Ziyu was filled with questions as she looked enviously at Nong Xiuqi’s beautiful face. What exactly had Di Jiu done to make Nong Xiuqi become so formidable in two years despite the fact that he was not around?
She knew about immortal cultivation and that those cultivators would advance slower than a martial arts practitioner. Their strength could not match up to a martial artist, and many of them were actually much weaker.
“Xiuqi, are you an ancient martial arts practitioner?”
Nong Xiuqi nodded her head. “Yes, I originally practiced the ancient martial arts but only attained the Yellow Tier. When I met Big Brother, he taught cultivation to me and I stopped practicing ancient martial arts.”
Sa He watched as Shen Ziyu’s aircraft zipped out of the Ka Bie River Town before disappearing in the direction of the Ural Mountains. Only then did he wipe the blood on his mouth away and climb back to his feet.
He was a warrior who had just attained the Heaven Tier, yet he had been helpless against that young lady’s kick. He was starting to doubt that he had broken through to the Heaven Tier.
…
Boom! When Di Jiu came into contact with the cultivation shackles, his body shuddered and even his Starry Sky meridian started to vibrate vigorously.
He had finally grazed the barrier to the Immortal Emperor Realm. He took out two Thearches of Grand Tenuity Restorative Elixirs immediately and consumed them. The Green Essence Energy Meridian was almost gone. He swallowed the two elixirs because he was worried that there was insufficient Heaven Earth Essence Energy.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Terrifying thunder streaks struck from a very long distance away.
Di Jiu was shocked and certain that even his Immortal Divine Body would not be capable of surviving this Thunder Tribulation. It was simply far too frightening.
He took out the Primeval Thunder Rock and the Heavenly Aqua Saber. Meanwhile, he was spreading the Nomological Qi across his body with all his might. The Colossal Kun Body-Tempering Art was being circulated to its maximum capability.
Thick thunder streaks streaked across the void and rained down, landing on the Primeval Thunder Rock. A portion of them bypassed the Primeval Thunder Rock and landed directly on Di Jiu.
The planet below Di Jiu’s feet was pulverized and all his bones were broken after just the first wave of Thunder Tribulation.
Di Jiu’s expression was ugly. He was certain that this was absolutely not an Immortal Emperor Thunder Tribulation. If this was what an Immortal Emperor Thunder Tribulation was like, there would be no Immortal Emperor in this universe, for all Immortal Emperors would have been killed by their Thunder Tribulations.
