Frost Domain.
Somewhere in the skies, dark clouds churned violently as thunder roared.
However, above the sea of clouds, two figures hovered quietly.
"The… Primordial Heavenly Dao Noodles?"
The Three-Color Lightning Tribulation seemed shocked. It scanned Beef Noodles carefully.
Yes—what it sensed was unmistakable.
The aura of the Primordial Era Heavenly Dao – Five Calamities.
Far older… far deeper… far nobler…
A presence that towered overwhelmingly above itself!
Not only that, but it also faintly carried traces of that existence…
The primordial aura of the Purgatory Immortal Emperor!
Could it be…
"Could it be… that you are the legendary predecessor of us new-generation Heavenly Dao incarnations—the Primordial Heavenly Dao's 'Five Calamities'!
The very one who was besieged by the Immortal Emperor Longevity and the Purgatory Immortal Emperor, destroyed… yet still stubbornly survived. The Three-Color Lightning Tribulation asked excitedly.
"That's right. I am him."
Beef Noodles nodded proudly, replying with supreme arrogance.
What the hell is this thing talking about?
Why didn't I understand a single word?!
Purgatory Immortal Emperor? Don't tell me that's my disciple?? That'd be way too ridiculous!
"You actually survived…!?
The Primordial Era Heavenly Dao Five Calamities should've been completely wiped out by the two strongest Primordial Immortal Emperors!
Could it be… you endured the Purgatory Immortal Emperor's attack and still lived…?
As expected of… senior!"
The Three-Color Lightning Tribulation's tone grew increasingly reverent.
"???"
Beef Noodles was utterly confused.
But Beef Noodles had never been the kind of man to care about details.
"Since you know who I am… then shouldn't you…"
Beef Noodles spoke slowly, rubbing his fingers together.
Don't ask why he did that.
"Yes!"
"Esteemed Heavenly Dao Noodles, please sit upon this Heavenly Tribulation Throne!
This is the finest Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Arrow!
Would you like a taste?"
The Three-Color Lightning Tribulation respectfully offered a condensed, terrifying Three-Color Thunderbolt.
A taste?
Fuck! If I take a bite of that, I'll be dead!
"No need for courtesy.
I have slept for a very, very long time, and I no longer know what era this is.
Tell me… what has happened in this world?"
Beef Noodles asked, full prestige and composure.
"As expected of you, senior—surviving even the Purgatory Immortal Emperor… truly incredible!"
The Three-Color Lightning Tribulation said passionately, then began explaining.
Its explanation was basically the same as Mu Xueying's previous explanation.
The more Beef Noodles listened, the more stunned he became.
Holy hell!
This game's world setting is THIS massive??
"So that means… this is no longer the Primordial Era?"
Beef Noodles interrupted.
"Yes.
Humans like to call this era…"
"The Immortal Emperor Era!"
Three-Color Lightning Tribulation replied solemnly, then continued explaining.
Beef Noodles listened like he was hearing a ridiculous web novel plot.
Damn developer… what kinda brain-dead nonsense storyline is this?
You bunch of Heavenly Dao Five Calamities, how could you not even notice the Purgatory Immortal Emperor hiding among you?
Are you kidding me??
"We Heavenly Tribulations are the incarnations of the Second-Generation Heavenly Dao!
Our mission is to obstruct humanity's development!
Originally, we no longer possessed enough power to destroy humanity…
But now…"
"You're still alive!
You are the hope of us Second-Generation Heavenly Dao and Heavenly Tribulation forces!
Please, lead us once again into battle against humanity!"
The Three-Color Lightning Tribulation looked at Beef Noodles with fanatical reverence.
"???"
Beef Noodles was completely dumbfounded.
Beef Noodles had read countless novels, played endless games, and lived his entire life as a veteran shut-in.
So after a moment, he more or less understood the situation.
Simply put—
This thing had mistaken him for the Primordial Era Heavenly Dao – Five Calamities, the First-Generation Heavenly Dao power.
And the Three-Color Lightning Tribulation in front of him was the Second-Generation Heavenly Dao power, far inferior to him both in hierarchy and authority.
According to what the Three-Color Tribulation said, the Second-Generation Heavenly Dao could no longer deal with the fully developed human race. They didn't even dare touch the Immortal Realm. All they could do was hide in the lower world and suppress humanity's growth as best as they could.
Meaning…
Didn't that imply…
"So I'm now the most senior… and the most badass Heavenly Dao power around?"
Beef Noodles' eyes gleamed.
He coughed lightly.
"So then… what exactly is your Second-Generation Tribulation doing right now?"
"From the moment we were born, we were assigned the mission to suppress the human race!
We were also told Heavenly Dao had not admitted defeat.
When the Third-Generation Heavenly Dao appears—that will be the day humanity is annihilated!"
"Thus, we Nine-Color Tribulations remained upon the Primordial Continent, unleashing Heavenly Tribulations to slay those attempting to break through, limiting their development as much as possible!"
Three-Color Tribulation explained solemnly.
"Hey, Heavenly Tribulation! Come out! Fight me like a man!!"
Down below, the man calling himself Human Emperor Breaking the Abyss was still roaring.
"He calls himself Human Emperor Breaking the Abyss? What's that supposed to mean?"
Beef Noodles asked curiously.
"In the Immortal Emperor Era, the world is divided into two—
The Immortal Realm above… and the Primordial Continent below."
"After the humans seized the Primordial Continent, they divided it into Three Thousand Domains!
Each Domain has a ruler—the Human Emperor. Their strength is equivalent to a Seventh-order Demon—on the level of Divine Transformation."
"I see!"
Beef Noodles nodded.
Below, Human Emperor Breaking the Abyss' cursing only got louder.
Three-Color Tribulation finally lost patience.
"Detestable human… Lord Heavenly Dao Noodles, please wait a moment!"
It snarled, then suddenly transformed—
Into an enormous mass of overwhelming three-Color thunder!
"Holy crap!"
Beef Noodles was stunned.
So it really could do that!!
So you really ARE heavenly lightning!!
Here I thought you were just some lunatic struck too many times by thunder…
My apologies.
That was my mistake.
Won't happen again.
…Probably.
Only now did Beef Noodles truly believe—
This guy was actually a Heavenly Dao manifestation!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The Three-Color Tribulation bombarded the man below continuously with colossal thunderbolts.
However…
"Hahahahaha!!"
The man only laughed wildly.
"I am Human Emperor Breaking the Abyss! Born with a Sacred Physique!
I command one of the Eighty-Eight Sacred Physiques—the Breaking-Army Sacred Physique!
I've already cultivated it to late Seventh Stage perfection!"
"Just a trifling Three-Color Lightning—how can it harm me?! Wahahahaha!"
Not only was he unafraid—
He was even using the Tribulation thunder to temper his body, making his Sacred Physique grow even stronger!
"Excellent! Keep this up!
Soon, I will break through the Seventh Stage Sacred Physique and step into the Eighth Stage!"
"Then I will be qualified to leave this Frost Domain!
No longer a mere small-domain lord—but a great lord who conquers multiple domains!"
The more he thought about it, the happier he became.
But at that moment—
Just as the Three-Color Tribulation was having trouble dealing with him…
Beef Noodles' voice lazily drifted over.
"Hey, Little Three, stop for a moment!
You're striking all wrong like this!"
