Battle Through the Heavens: Achievement System at the Start

During these three months, Xiao Yao continued to fight monsters in the Monster Mountain Range to hone his physique and cultivation. At this time, his cultivation level reached the ninth star of the Dou Ling realm.

That day, Xiao Yao stood atop the Monster Mountain Range, overlooking the vast and boundless land below.

Xiao Yao's breathing was heavy and powerful, as if each breath allowed him to inhale the essence of heaven and earth.

He had just finished a fierce battle and successfully killed a powerful fourth-tier peak magical beast.

However, when he checked his physical condition, he found that it was still difficult to improve his physique further.

"Damn it!" Xiao Yao cursed under his breath, his fists clenched so tightly that veins bulged.

Xiao Yao knew that breakthroughs in human physical abilities were crucial for him, but now he was stuck at this bottleneck and unable to move forward.

It seems that only by breaking through to the Dou Wang level, facing the tribulation of lightning, and successfully passing through it, can one receive the baptism of the energy of heaven and earth and further advance to the Lesser Completion realm.

On a mountaintop, a young man sat cross-legged, the surrounding battle energy converging towards him.

As time passed, he slowly opened his eyes, looked at the solid battle qi within his body, and said softly, "I'm a half-step Battle King now. It's time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yao took out the fifth-grade pill, the Battle Spirit Pill, that he had refined last time, and then put it into his mouth.

Xiao Yao quickly closed his eyes and focused his mind, absorbing the dense battle qi energy in the surrounding world, along with the enormous energy emitted by the Battle Spirit Pill within his body, and calmed down to break through.

His breathing became deeper and deeper, as if he were one with the heavens and earth.

A crisp sound rang out from within Xiao Yao's body, and it seemed as if some kind of change had occurred within him. His aura became even stronger, as if he had been reborn.

He slowly opened his eyes, looked at his hands, felt the surging power within him, and excitedly shouted, "I've finally broken through! I've reached the Dou Wang level!"

At this moment, Xiao Yao sensed the change in the aura in the sky and murmured, "It's here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sky suddenly changed. One after another, cumulus clouds piled up to form thunderclouds that blotted out the sun. It was clear that the thunderclouds contained terrifying, world-destroying power.

Xiao Yao stood atop the mountain peak, his gaze piercing through layers of dark clouds.

He sensed a powerful aura of destruction approaching, and the surrounding air became unusually oppressive, as if an invisible force was pressing down on him.

He could feel the power and terror of that force, but he did not back down; instead, he faced the challenge head-on.

Xiao Yao saw thunderclouds rolling in the sky, with lightning flashing and thunder roaring. Behind these thunderclouds, two even more terrifying tribulation clouds were still brewing and had not yet appeared.

This overwhelming spectacle covered the entire Jama Empire. The mercenary groups on the outskirts of the Monster Mountain Range saw this strange change in the sky, with terrifying bolts of lightning brewing in the air, emanating a horrifying aura.

One by one, they stopped what they were doing, looked up at the sky, and their faces showed fear.

They had never seen such a breathtaking sight before, and couldn't help but wonder if something big was about to happen.

Some timid people began packing their belongings, preparing to flee the area. They were afraid of being caught up in it and becoming victims of the disaster.

Some brave people chose to stay, wanting to see what was going on and perhaps gain some insight or opportunity from it.

At this moment, Yun Yun, who was at Yunlan Sect, also saw that the center of this scene was in the Monster Mountain Range. Yun Yun was astonished. She had never seen such a breathtaking scene before, and she couldn't help but worry about Xiao Yao.

She knew that Xiao Yao was still in the Monster Mountain Range after she left.

Yun Yun took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner worries. She silently prayed that Xiao Yao would be safe. She murmured to herself, "Yao Xiao, I hope that when you see this scene now, you can avoid this lightning tribulation."

Located in the center of the Jiama Empire, two powerful Dou Wangs suddenly appeared in the sky. They were Teng Shan and Nalan Jie from the Mittel family. Teng Shan looked at the center of the lightning tribulation and said, "Old man, do you know what happened in the Monster Mountain Range? What kind of person could trigger such a terrifying lightning tribulation?"

Nalan Jie was slightly taken aback, then shook his head and said, "I have never heard of any powerful person in the Jiama Empire who could reach such a level and attract such a lightning tribulation. Looking at this terrifying lightning tribulation, I, an old man, dare not go over, lest I be targeted by the lightning tribulation. Why don't you go and see which powerful person can attract such a lightning tribulation?"

Upon hearing this, Tengshan frowned, feeling a mixture of curiosity and worry.

He knew that Nalan Jie was right; this kind of tribulation was indeed extraordinary, and one could easily be caught up in it if one was not careful.

Just as they were discussing these issues, an even stronger aura flew over and landed in front of them. He was Jia Xingtian, the ruler of the Jiama Empire. He looked at Teng Shan and Nalan Jie and said, "It seems this disturbance has attracted quite a few people. Judging from your appearances, you two must have come because of this disturbance as well?"

Teng Shan and Nalan Jie exchanged a glance and nodded. They knew that Jia Xingtian's strength as a nine-star Dou Huang was among the highest in the Jia Ma Empire, and they also knew that he had a unique perspective.

"That's right, we came because of this anomaly," Tengshan said. "We want to understand what's going on and why such a powerful lightning tribulation has appeared."

Jia Xingtian frowned slightly upon hearing their words: "This anomaly is indeed extraordinary, I've noticed it too. However, I'm still unclear about the specific reason. But I can tell you, this tribulation is beyond our reach. So let's just observe from afar."

Tengshan and Nalan Jie exchanged a glance, then stood at a distance and looked towards the Monster Mountain Range.

At this moment, dark clouds slowly enveloped Wutan City. The ordinary people in Wutan City continued with their work as if nothing had happened, but only the cultivators could perceive the difference in these dark clouds.

In the Xiao family hall, Xiao Zhan sat at the head of the table and said to the three elders sitting beside him with a serious expression, "I wonder if the monsters in the Monster Mountain Range are undergoing tribulation. I hope it won't cause us any losses, since the place we live in is too close to the Monster Mountain Range."

Xiao Zhan nodded to the three elders, his face full of worry. His lips moved slightly, and if someone were to approach him, they would hear him say, "Yao'er, are you still in the Monster Mountain Range? Take good care of yourself."

In one of the Xiao family's courtyards, under a lush tree, leaned against the trunk of a girl dressed in a light blue dress.

At this moment, she sensed something unusual. She stood up gracefully, looked up at the distant Monster Mountain Range, and a hint of worry flashed in her gentle, autumn-water-like eyes. She placed her right hand on her chest and murmured softly.

"Brother Xiao Yao, are you still in the Monster Mountain Range? I don't know if Elder Ling can protect you. Xun'er is very worried about you and hopes you are safe and sound."
