The appearance of a Celestial Tribulation would naturally startle a few people. The aura of Celestial Punishment, in particular, made everyone turn their heads.
But because the aura was too faint, no one paid it much mind. They were merely aware that someone, somewhere, was Crossing the Tribulation.
Their focus, naturally, remained on the center of the forest.
Mo Mingbei, especially, paid it no mind at all. After all, the Celestial God Flower was almost in his grasp.
However, just as he was about to pluck the Celestial God Flower, a stream of black energy shot toward him.
This black energy didn't seem particularly ferocious, but Mo Mingbei frowned, not daring to treat it lightly.
He struck out in response. The black energy collided with his power, and the surrounding area instantly erupted.
A mysterious man in a black robe appeared, cackling. "Glad I made it in time. A moment longer and it would have been yours. I never thought you'd still be alive, old man."
