After that, Li Nan settled down to meditate and began to run the Ling Xiao Technique in his body to refine the Demon Lord’s power.
As the hours passed by, Li Nan was completely immersed in the refinement of the Demon Lord’s power, almost forgetting everything around him, even the time.
The Demon Lord’s power was like a tempting fruit, causing Li Nan to run towards it recklessly, leaving everything around him behind.
In the blink of an eye, seven or eight hours had passed.
Li Nan was still in the midst of refining and absorbing the power of the demon ruler.
Li Nan had a strong feeling that this time, the Demon Lord’s power would play an unexpected role for him.
As long as he could absorb all of the Demon Lord’s power, his cultivation would take a quantum leap!
And at the same time, outside the volcano.
The killings between the God Race and the Monarch Guardian Holy Land had completely ended, and the thousands of Holy Land guards had basically all been killed by the God Race, and even those who had not been killed had all fled the place at this moment.
As for the Guardian Saint, he had even been stabbed through the body by seven or eight Gods at the same time, killing him completely!
For these people of the Holy Land who sacrificed the lives of living people to the Demon Lord, they deserved such a fate.
After this incident, it could be said that the Shoujun Sacred Ground had come to an end and was completely destroyed!
At this time, after the Gods had finished with the people of the Guardian Sacred Ground, they did not leave, but all of them stood guard around the volcano.
They were, of course, waiting for the re-emergence of their own God-King!
Only, all of them were also very clear that the chances of this seemed to be very low.
It was highly likely that the one who would come out of this volcano later would not be their own God King, but that terrifying Demon Lord!
Therefore, at this moment, the expressions on everyone’s faces were extremely grave, and the atmosphere was oppressive to the extreme.
“Mom, do you think, he should not ……”
Paulina looked at the volcano not far away and said with a worried face.
At this moment, even Paulina’s heart was already a little desperate.
After all, seven or eight hours had passed since just now, but there was no movement from the volcano, which made Paulina no longer see any hope.
Natasha naturally knew what her daughter was going to say, and without waiting for Paulina to finish, she hurriedly said, “Don’t worry, Paulina, the God King will be fine! You have to believe in him!”
Hearing her mother’s reassurance, Paulina finally nodded her head.
And just at that moment.
“Whoosh!”
Several sounds of breaking air suddenly sounded from behind them.
“What people?!”
The Gods shouted, and immediately took up a guard stance.
They thought that those who were guarding the Sacred Ground of the Monarch had returned, but when they looked back, they found that the ones who had returned were just three ordinary young men.
Looking at the dress of the opponents, it was clear that they were not from the Shoujun Sacred Ground.
In fact, these three people were none other than Wang Yumeng, Zhang Zhen and Xiao Die!
Earlier, Wang Yumeng Zhang Zhen had escaped from the volcano with Little Butterfly first.
They ran forward all the way and managed to escape from the guards of the Holy Land with great difficulty.
They waited for a long time in the woods, but still did not wait for Li Nan to follow them, so they tried to return to the area again to check the situation.
Only, at this moment, when Wang Yumeng Zhang Zhen and the others saw the scene in front of them, they all froze in disbelief.
They only saw that the thousands of people from the Guardian Sacred Ground were all gone, and had all become corpses that had fallen to the ground.
In front of them stood dozens of blonde-haired, blue-eyed Europeans.
As far as Wang Yumeng and the others knew, there were no such Europeans in the True Martial World, so when they saw these people, they immediately decided that the other party was probably from the secular world!
In any case, no matter what, since they had killed those people from the Shoujun Sacred Ground, they must be the enemies of the Shoujun Sacred Ground.
As the saying goes, the enemy of an enemy is a friend.
Therefore, Wang Yumeng Zhang Zhen and the others were still relatively at ease with these people in front of them.
“Don’t misunderstand, we’re not bad people, we’re here to find someone!”
Wang Yumeng hurriedly put on a smiling face and said.
“Looking for someone?”
Those Gods first froze, then they immediately thought of something and said, “Could it be that you are friends of the God King?!”
“The God King?”
Wang Yumeng and Zhang Zhen looked at each other, not reacting for a moment.
At this moment, Little Butterfly on the side hurriedly said, “We came here to look for big brother! He fell into the volcano with that monster to save me!”
Hearing those words, those Gods were all suddenly enlightened.
“So it really is a friend of the God King! I’m really offended just now!”
Because of Li Nan, so the attitude of these God Clans towards Wang Yumeng and the others was incomparably respectful for a while.
Wang Yumeng and the others were all a little bewildered by the way these people addressed their own warrior, and they all didn’t expect that their warrior had such a layer of identity.
But right now, they couldn’t think about this, what they were most concerned about right now was naturally the peace and stability of their own warrior.
“Warrior …… is that God King you guys are talking about, how is he doing right now?”
Wang Yumeng asked eagerly.
“This ……”
Those gods hesitated for a moment and finally said truthfully, “The god king he stayed alone in the volcanic cage to save us and dueled with that demon ruler, now …… his life or death is not known …… ”
“What?!”
Hearing these words, Wang Yumeng and the others all had their eyes widened in shock.
The strength of that Demon King, they had just seen it with their own eyes, even their combined strength was not a match.
But now, the warrior was alone with the demon lord, what a difference between this and a sheep in a tiger’s mouth!
“Warrior ……”
“Big Brother ……”
Wang Yumeng Zhang Zhen all had a bitter look on his face, and Xiao Die couldn’t help but cry out directly.
At the moment, they had no better way out, and had to stay in place with the gods, looking at the volcano not far away and waiting for the final result.
Naturally, the conversation between Wang Yumeng and the Gods had fallen on Paulina’s ears.
But right now, Paulina’s mind was on Li Nan, and she was not in the mood to greet Wang Yumeng and the others.
In this way, another five or six hours passed.
Wang Yumeng and Paulina were still standing in mid-air like nails, without any movement.
At this point in time, they had almost lost all hope in their hearts, but no one was willing to speak up until the last moment.
It seemed that as long as they didn’t say anything, hope was still there.
And it was at this moment that something unexpected happened.
“Rumble!”
A thunderclap suddenly rang out under the clear white sky.
Immediately afterwards, I saw that in the sky above the volcano, the clouds were like galloping horses, rapidly coalescing together, as if there was some special energy in this volcano that had attracted these clouds to come.
In the blink of an eye, they converged into a large, thick, dark cloud.
The entire sky overhead was completely obscured at this moment, and the sky and earth became dark.
The scene in front of him was like the end of the world!
“What the …… hell is going on here ……”
Those gods looked at each other one by one, all only feeling incredulous.
However, they all realized that this sudden vision was only related to the two people in that volcanic cage.
All this had finally come to a head!
The faces of those Gods all became incomparably grave.
Without any discussion, the Gods all sacrificed their own divine weapons in unison.
They had all prepared for the impending danger!
Polina and Wang Yumeng were also tense to the extreme, all worried that they had waited for so long and what they had waited for was an outcome that they could hardly accept.
At this moment, the clouds in the sky were gathering more and more, and the whole heaven and earth was so dark that they could hardly see any scene.
The sound of muffled thunder was also heard continuously within those clouds, as if a thousand armies were beating war drums within those clouds.
“Why does this …… this look so much like ……”
Zhang Zhen seemed to have thought of something, yet he didn’t quite dare to believe it.
And not waiting for Zhang Zhen to finish, Wang Yumeng at the side but then said, “The heavenly tribulation!”
Hearing these words, Zhang Zhen turned his head to look at Wang Yumeng.
The two looked at each other and both saw the same shock on the other’s face.
That was right, the two of them were thinking the exact same thing, this scene in front of them was indeed making them think of that legendary heavenly tribulation!
When a martial artist’s cultivation level, after reaching the peak, would lead to a heavenly tribulation.
Only after successfully crossing this heavenly tribulation would a martial artist be able to reach a more profound level.
But as to what that higher level is like, no one knows because no one in this world has ever been able to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation!
Even the divine Moon Pavilion’s Zhang Zhengkun, who was regarded as the number one powerhouse in the True Martial World, had almost fallen when he experienced the Heavenly Tribulation.
So, rather than saying that this was a heavenly tribulation, one might as well say that this was the end of martial artists!
But Wang Yumeng and Zhang Zhen had never imagined that they would actually be here to witness such a heavenly tribulation!
However, in their hearts, they felt very puzzled.
According to reason, this heavenly tribulation would only happen when one’s cultivation level reached the peak of the martial dao, that is, the peak of the Golden Immortal.
But the two people in this volcano, the Demon Lord and the Warrior, who were they that had reached such a level of cultivation?!
