Perfect: I am Shi An from Shicun, and I am Huang’s brother!

Chapter 388 The Inevitable Trend

The vessel was a jade cauldron with a special material and mysterious runes engraved on its body. It was just right to contain the lightning tribulation liquid without causing any loss of its divinity.

"Om~"

Time passed slowly, and the five-colored lightning tribulation liquid in the immortal pool transformed into shimmering ribbons of light under the guidance of Shi Hao's magic power, which were then gently drawn into the jade cauldron.

In an instant, the five-colored glow in the celestial pool gradually dimmed, but the sacred and peaceful aura still lingered.
After a long while, when no matter how he tried, he could no longer collect the contents, Shi Hao finally stopped what he was doing, and then, holding the vessel, looked at everyone.

Shi Hao stood atop the tenth heaven, the vessel in his palm containing the five-colored lightning tribulation liquid shimmering with dreamlike radiance.

His gaze swept down, and he saw the eyes of thousands of ancient inhabitants of the Immortal Ancient City converge here, their anxiety and anticipation intertwined, and even the air was filled with an almost solidified piety.

"Esteemed seniors,"

Seeing this, Shi Hao didn't pretend and immediately said, "This liquid is formed during the tribulation. It should be shared with everyone to relieve calamities and avert disasters."

His voice was clear and resonant, piercing through the lingering thunder after the calamity, echoing clearly in the ears of every ancient immortal being.

After speaking, he moved slightly, surrounded by celestial mists and auspicious clouds, and slowly descended before the Eight-Armed Soul Clan Ancestor and other core sect leader-level beings.

The jade cauldron containing the precious five-colored lightning tribulation liquid was suspended above his palm. The five colors flowed and a sacred and peaceful aura spread out, even dispersing some of the terrifying aura hidden in the remaining tribulation lightning.

At the same time, the entire tenth layer of lightning sea also vanished without a trace, never to be seen again.

Looking at Shi Hao, who held the Five-Colored Tribulation Liquid and was exceptionally brave, the ancient ancestor of the Eight-Armed Soul Clan sincerely praised him: "Young friend Huang, you are indeed a genius. You have even successfully overcome the Tribulation of the God King, which no one has been able to overcome since the beginning of the era. You are truly unprecedented!"

After the Eight-Armed Soul Clan Ancestor finished speaking, the other sect leaders echoed him, their tone sincere.

However, Shi Hao did not say much about this. He simply raised his hand and gently lifted the jade cauldron. With a flick of his finger, the five-colored lightning tribulation liquid in the cauldron split into countless tiny streams of light, which, like agile sprites, fell with perfect precision into the jade cups floating in front of each native.

"Please, esteemed seniors, drink this Tribulation Elixir together!"

Upon hearing this, the indigenous people stretched out their hands and carefully accepted the precious divine liquid, their eyes filled with gratitude and awe.

"Desolate! Desolate! Desolate!"

The next moment, everyone shouted in unison, their voices resounding through the sky.

Even the patriarchs of the Eight-Armed Soul Clan and other sect leaders couldn't help but show their excitement.

Although Shi An had previously given them the Tribulation Liquid to help some of them break free from the curse, Shi Hao had brought not just one or two of them, but hundreds or even thousands!

How could this not excite them?

However, despite their excitement, they did not forget their business. After thanking Shi Hao, they sat cross-legged and began refining the essence.

It can only be said that the Five-Colored Thunder Tribulation Liquid only appears when it is the Tribulation of the God King. Its effect is heaven-defying. In just an instant, many people exhaled bursts of black mist from their bodies, which turned into dark light and spontaneously combusted.

"Roar!"

With a loud roar, an ancient ancestor opened his eyes, leaped up, excited and exhilarated. He couldn't help but roar continuously, which really made the mountains collapse.

A moment later, another long howl rang out, and another cult leader was added who had broken the curse.

Following this, many celestial beings also successfully broke free of the curse, unleashing boundless blood energy. Undoubtedly, this was a momentous event worthy of being recorded in the annals of the Immortal Era, and even in the history of the Three Thousand Continents!

No matter how many years pass, people will never forget that a young man named Huang once distributed Thunder Tribulation Liquid to the inhabitants of the Immortal Ancient City, breaking the curse that had plagued them for an entire era.

For an entire era, they longed for the day when things would return to normal, when they would no longer be troubled by strange forces, and when they could live like people outside.

Now that it has finally come true, they will never forget it!

Time flies. Because it is necessary to guard against powerful outsiders who may attack at any time, not everyone can receive this Tribulation Liquid. Only the strongest person can receive it to remove their own curse.

Of course, Shi Hao did not give the Tribulation Liquid to those who had been enemies with him and others. Instead, some True Gods who had previously had a good relationship with Shi Hao received the Tribulation Liquid.

It must be said that this move was quite extravagant. As a result, many sect leaders, including the Eight-Armed Soul Clan Ancestor, couldn't help but speak up, hoping that Shi Hao would give the Thunder Tribulation Liquid to those powerful gods, so as to increase their combat strength in the future fight against external enemies.

Unfortunately, Shi Hao did not adopt it.

In his words, this is how he intends to be—to differentiate between close and distant relationships—so that more people will join his camp and look forward to him distributing more Tribulation Liquid next time.

In fact, Shi Hao's approach did work, and more and more indigenous people flocked to him, surrounding him.

This scene left all the cultivators from the Three Thousand Provinces dumbfounded. How could Huang have gathered such a huge force?

At this moment, not to mention others, even those who had been with Shi Hao, such as Feng Wu and Hong Huang, were all shocked, especially since this power was still growing.

One can imagine the upheaval that would occur if this power were taken out of the Immortal Ancient Realm and brought to the Three Thousand Provinces.

In an instant, Shi Hao seemed to become the center of the world, surrounded by people, attracting attention from all directions.

However, Shi Hao knew in his heart that although everyone was now surrounding him, as if they regarded him as their leader, it was all in vain.

But he knew very well that not everyone was genuinely friendly with him; many were just going through the motions, only trying to get the Thunder Tribulation Liquid from him.

However, Shi Hao didn't care about this. He knew very well that in this dog-eat-dog world of cultivation where interests come first, it was no easy task to win everyone's sincere allegiance.

Therefore, all he needs now is the "general trend"!
As long as this trend continues, he will hold the initiative, and those hypocritical people will not be able to stir up any trouble.

"Everyone."

After everyone had refined the Thunder Tribulation Liquid to a considerable extent, Shi Hao suddenly spoke, his voice not loud, but it suppressed all the noise.

"Thunder Tribulation Liquid can relieve today's calamity, but it cannot relieve tomorrow's calamity."

One sentence silenced the previously fervent mountaintop. The Eight-Armed Soul Clan Ancestor was the first to react, his pupils shrinking slightly: "You mean... a great enemy from the outside world?"

"Not bad!"

Shi Hao nodded, his gaze deep and unfathomable as he looked towards the horizon.

There, gray mist surged, and one terrifying figure after another appeared and disappeared, coldly watching from behind the ancient barrier.
