Chapter 1564: Come and fight me!
“Right, this must be my inner demon!” Demon Monarch Anzhi seemed to have an epiphany.
This heavenly tribulation really was strange.
Unknowingly, it had already sent the inner demon tribulation down on it.
Moreover, it even chose to take Profound Sage Tyrannical Song’s appearance, the person it feared the most.
Fortunately, it had understood in time.
As long as it knew that it was just an inner demon, there was nothing to be afraid of.
Demon Monarch Anzhi said calmly, “Don’t even think about using this kind of inner demon to mess with me.”
We were talking about Demon Monarch Anzhi after all, a genius who was dubbed the title of ‘Demon Monarch’ at the mere Fourth Stage.
Its will was as firm as iron!
“Let alone one Profound Sage Tyrannical Song staring at me from the sidelines, even if there were ten or a hundred more of him, my heart won’t falter!” Demon Monarch Anzhi roared and issued his own declaration. “I am Demon Monarch Anzhi, and I am destined to become the lord of all demons! I shall transcend this tribulation, and take my first step on my journey on the Great Way.”
After letting out this declaration, Demon Monarch Anzhi’s imposing manner skyrocketed.
At this moment, it seemed to have overcome its fear of Profound Sage Tyrannical Song, resulting in the firmness of its will to rise by a notch.
It continued to manipulate its tribulation-transcending formation methodically.
The six demon god pillars rose slightly, bursting out even more powerful demonic energy. The evil qi beneath the ground became active.
Outside the range of the tribulation.
Song Shuhang: “…”
Doudou: “…”
Song Shuhang said, “Such a thing can actually happen. I wouldn’t be able to learn this even if I wanted to.”
He had already brought out the Sage Seals for both Tyrannical Song and Tyrannical Scholar, yet Demon Monarch Anzhi had forcefully ‘recognized’ him as an inner demon.
Doudou said, “The plan has failed. I’m afraid that even if you cheer for him now, it won’t have any effect. He might think that he’s just going through the inner demon tribulation, causing his dao heart to become even firmer.”
Song Shuhang said, “We’re of different races, that might be the reason. This guy’s way of thinking is too different from that of humans.”
“It’s also a lot worse than dogs,” Doudou added. “What are you going to do next?”
Song Shuhang lowered his head and asked Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword, “Senior… Say, if I were to use the Impregnating Gaze on him, would it work?”
Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword said calmly, “Firstly, the guy would definitely become pregnant. Then, as the power of the Sage’s eye will be left behind, you will definitely be involved in the heavenly tribulation. As long as you use a magical technique against him, it would be considered as an interference… There would be no reason for the heavenly tribulation to let you off.”
Song Shuhang rubbed his eyebrows. He didn’t want to get involved in another person’s tribulation right now.
He had no intention of becoming Song “Leave it to Me, I’m a Professional When it Comes to Dealing with Heavenly Tribulations” Shuhang.
It was enough to experience a group tribulation once. This kind of thing where you practically treated your own life as a joke wasn’t fun at all.
“Why not just wait for him to finish transcending his tribulation before using the Impregnating Gaze?” Doudou suggested. “At the most exciting point in his life, when he thinks that he has finally succeeded in transcending the tribulation and condensing a golden core, we’ll send an Impregnating Gaze over, directly making his golden core bear a child. Wouldn’t that be double the fun?”
Song Shuhang said, “It is feasible, but what I’m more worried about is whether or not he has any means of escape on his person. Once he has successfully transcended the tribulation, and discovered that we aren’t inner demons, he might directly activate an escape technique.”
He felt that with the personality of Young Master Hai and his companions, possessing this kind of life-saving escape technique must be indispensable.
“Don’t worry, I’m here,” Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword calmly said. “I’m full of energy right now. No matter what escape technique he uses, even if it is a spatial escape technique, I can cut him down with a single slash.”
The words of Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword were particularly overbearing and made them feel at ease.
The only question was, wouldn’t it be too wasteful to use Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword’s energy on a newly-ascended Fifth Stage demonic cultivator?
At this time, Doudou took out his phone and began typing quickly.
Song Shuhang glanced at Doudou and found that he was chatting in the group.
“Eh? Doudou, aren’t you muted in the Nine Provinces Number One Group?” Song Shuhang asked in confusion. How come he could already chat?
Could it be that Doudou used Senior Yellow Mountain’s account?
Doudou rolled his eyes. “I’m in more than one group.”
“What group is this?” Song Shuhang asked curiously—because when he glanced at it just now, he found several familiar avatars.
Senior Thrice Reckless Mad Saber, Immortal Master Copper Trigram, Senior Creation, Senior Xuan Nu Sect’s Skylark, and it looked like Senior White was also there.
They were all people he was familiar with from the ‘Nine Provinces Number One Group’.
Doudou said with a mysterious face, “I can’t tell you about this group for the time being as you aren’t eligible to join it at the moment. Hmm, in a while, you should be able to pass the assessment for joining this group. You are still in the assessment period, and when we feel that you have achieved the necessary qualifications, you will be added to the group.”
Song Shuhang was dumbfounded.
Doudou sent a message in the group: “@everyone, I discovered that one of my enemies is currently transcending a tribulation. How should I deal with him? Everyone, please use your brains!”
[Invincible Seventy-Two Mad Saber Strikes] Thrice Reckless Mad Saber asked, “Eh? Doudou, didn’t you go with Profound Sage Tyrannical Song to watch a cultivator transcend their heavenly tribulation of the Fifth Stage? Could it be that the other party was coincidentally your enemy?”
Doudou said, “Right, fate is so wonderful. This guy is the enemy of Profound Sage Tyrannical Song as well. So, everyone, please provide some insights.”
Since some members of this group weren’t part of the Nine Provinces Number One Group, when Thrice Reckless and Doudou talked about Song Shuhang, they used the name ‘Profound Sage Tyrannical Song’.
[High-Altitude Escapology Lover] Netherworld Xiao: “This guy can be said to have inherited the misfortune of eight generations. He actually encountered Doudou and Profound Sage Tyrannical Song while transcending his tribulation. However, since he’s transcending his tribulation, then this matter is very simple… Doudou, you and Profound Sage Tyrannical Song can just sit outside his tribulation-transcending formation and cheer for him. It’s best to have Profound Sage Tyrannical Song bring out his Sage Seal to put more pressure on the other party. Under such pressure, the other party’s legs should go soft and he should experience stomach cramps. After another wave from the tribulation comes down, he will be reduced into ashes.”
Doudou rolled his eyes. “Great Master Xiao, your thoughts are the same as those of Profound Sage Tyrannical Song. We’ve already done what you said, but the guy thought that we were a part of his ‘inner demon tribulation’, and he used that to deceive himself.”
Great Master Xiao: “Ugh~”
[Most Dazzling and Trending] Venerable Tornado said, “I want to ask, that cultivator is only transcending the tribulation of the Fifth Stage, right?”
Doudou: “Yeah.”
Venerable Tornado: “In that case, when the other party is at the most brilliant part of their tribulation, can’t Senior Tyrannical Song directly break their formation and kill them? For someone like Senior Tyrannical Song, the other party should be no different from an ant. As long as you kill the other party quick enough, the heavenly tribulation should end directly.”
[Let me silently die of old age] Ji Ziwo said, “Or perhaps Doudou wants to catch them alive and then train them after bringing them back home? Doudou has become increasingly evil recently.”
Doudou: “…”
Doudou: “Venerable Tornado’s proposal is very good, I’ll be going with that! Thank you.”
After saying that, Doudou turned off his phone and looked at Song Shuhang.
Song Shuhang: “…”
Doudou smiled, and said, “Just be bold, don’t be a coward. Profound Sage Tyrannical Song, you can do it.”
“What do you mean? You should know that I’m not really a Profound Sage. I’ve only recently gotten past a heavenly tribulation and reached the Fifth Stage. How am I supposed to… Eh, wait.” Song Shuhang suddenly pinched his chin, looking at the heavenly tribulation in the sky.
This was the heavenly tribulation of the Fifth Stage, and it had just begun, with only about ten waves having come down.
The power of the tribulation was at about the peak of the Fourth Stage.
If such a low-level heavenly tribulation were to bomb his body, he shouldn’t receive any injuries.
Of course… This kind of direct intrusion into a heavenly tribulation shouldn’t be done with his main body.
At this time, it was time to summon his clone, Song Shuhang Two.
“Doudou, go hide in my Inner World,” Song Shuhang said.
He wanted to change places with his clone first. His main body would remain on the island and act as coordinates, waiting for Senior White to come out of the ‘sealed space’.
During this time, the clone would break into the formation and kill Demon Monarch Anzhi.
Doudou asked in confusion, “Are you not going to break into the formation?”
Song Shuhang said, “I need to make preparations first. This kind of thing naturally has to be done by my clone. Anyway, just stay in my Inner World and watch the live broadcast. As for me, I will switch places with my clone.”
❄️❄️❄️
Song Shuhang and Doudou escaped into the Inner World. Afterward, his body exchanged places with his clone, who was still on the faraway Western Orchid Island.
The restaurant on Western Orchid Island had yet to reopen. Chu Chu was still working hard to practice the immortal chef secret techniques she got from the sealed space and had yet to exit her closed-up state.
The restaurant would reopen after she finished her practice.
Song Shuhang’s main body now sat idly at the cash register, habitually crossing his fingers and placing his chin on them. At the same time, his consciousness shifted to his clone.
❄️❄️❄️
When Doudou and Song Shuhang disappeared, Demon Monarch Anzhi, who was inside the tribulation-transcending formation, laughed. “Hahahaha, it really was an inner demon!”
After the heavenly tribulation saw that Profound Sage Tyrannical Song had no effect on it, the illusion finally shattered.
In other words, the inner demon tribulation that worried it the most had already passed. The rest of the heavenly tribulation should be easy to deal with.
Just as it thought this, the figure of Profound Sage Tyrannical Song reappeared.
The inner demon tribulation isn’t over yet? Demon Monarch Anzhi’s pupils contracted.
That’s right. After all, this is the inner demon of a Fifth Stage heavenly tribulation. It shouldn’t be so easy to deal with.
However… it was all the same. Even if there were a hundred Profound Sage Tyrannical Songs, it wouldn’t be scared.
Outside the tribulation-transcending formation, Profound Sage Tyrannical Song got up and stepped directly into the formation.
At the same time, magical treasures that would blind the eyes of ordinary cultivators appeared out of thin air, equipping themselves on Profound Sage Tyrannical Song’s body.
A floating winged crown.
A domineering helmet.
A set of battle armor filled with mysterious patterns.
Rings, gloves.
It was a complete set of armor and magical treasures, all of the Eighth Stage.
Finally, a white cloak fell from the sky and draped itself on Profound Sage Tyrannical Song’s shoulders.
The ‘Tyrannical Song’ Sage Seal and ‘Tyrannical Scholar’ Demon Seal both hovered behind him.
The aura of a Profound Sage, which could leave people terrified and breathless, came bearing down on Demon Monarch Anzhi.
Demon Monarch Anzhi calmly said, “Come and fight me! I won’t lose to a trivial inner demon!”
Profound Sage Tyrannical Song stepped into the range of the tribulation.
The rumbling tribulation lightning fell on his body, but couldn’t hurt him at all.
