Chapter 1065: Chapter 670: White Tiger’s Tribulation Crossing
Tap, tap, tap—
Everyone quickly gathered around.
Terreda was the first to rush to Li Qi, punching him on the shoulder with a smile on his face, though his words were expletive, "Li Qi, you scared the hell out of me just now!!"
Li Qi’s shoulder shook from the hit, but he didn’t dodge, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Xiong stood next to Li Qi, showing his usual honest smile.
Old Ghost and Ran Tu stepped forward together, clasping their fists with a smile, "Congratulations!"
Li Qi took a deep breath, calming the Spiritual Energy still surging within him. The power of Tier Seven was several times stronger than Peak Tier Six, with Spiritual Energy rushing through his meridians. The fullness made him feel a bit unaccustomed for the moment.
He cupped his hands towards everyone, sincerely and earnestly, "Thank you all so much earlier."
With that, he turned and looked at Qin Tian beside him.
Qin Tian wore a faint smile on his lips, holding a golden Soul Lamp, with the Reincarnation Lamp slowly rotating above his palm. The ancient patterns on the lamp’s body flowed endlessly, exuding an eternal aura that made people feel peaceful involuntarily.
Li Qi bowed deeply to Qin Tian.
"Boss, thank you."
Thinking back now, he realized just how dangerous the state he was in earlier really was.
In the Heart Demon Tribulation, he had almost completely lost himself, unable to distinguish the boundary between reality and the Illusion Realm.
He believed that in such a situation, hardly anyone in the entire Empire could save him.
The Heart Demon Tribulation was terrifying precisely because of its inability to be intervened—once one sank in, no one could save them.
Fortunately, the boss was among the few who could.
He had never seen the boss use that golden lamp before, but he knew it must have been this method that awakened him in the Heart Demon Tribulation, allowing him to see through the illusion and successfully pass the tribulation.
The light from that lamp penetrated the fog of the Heart Demon Illusion Realm, like a hand reaching out from the darkness, pulling him back from the edge of the abyss.
"It’s good that you’re awake."
Qin Tian gently patted Li Qi on the shoulder, a smile of relief appearing on his face.
"Get used to your new power properly."
Qin Tian said, then glanced at the others, his gaze sweeping over Xiong, Terreda, Old Ghost, and Ran Tu’s faces, asking, "Who’s next?"
"I am!"
"I am!"
"I am!"
The four of them almost spoke simultaneously, their tones filled with excitement and impatience that couldn’t be hidden.
Their voices collided together, echoing in the valley, bringing smiles to their faces as they looked at each other.
Li Qi’s success had greatly inspired them.
Especially that last scene, when everyone thought Li Qi had completely succumbed and was beyond saving, the boss forcefully pulled him back from the Heart Demon Tribulation.
At that moment, the shock and excitement in their hearts were beyond words.
Among the Celestial Human Three Tribulations, when asked which tribulation was the most worrying or even terrifying, the answer was undoubtedly—the Heart Demon Tribulation.
The Celestial Thunder Tribulation and the Body Burning Tribulation, though dangerous and painful, were at least visible and tangible.
They believed that with their strong Spiritual Energy and physical bodies, with the aid of Elixirs, Little Pollo’s protection, and various means, they could safely pass the first two tribulations.
But the Heart Demon Tribulation was different.
It didn’t test your Spiritual Energy, nor your physical body, but tested the things you least wanted to face—the deepest fears within you, the most painful scars, the weaknesses you least want to admit.
It could be your deceased relatives, the mistakes you made, the obsessions you couldn’t let go of, or desires you weren’t even aware of.
Countless prodigies, countless inheritors of Holy Blood, had fallen at this hurdle.
However, the methods demonstrated by Qin Tian earlier had completely dispelled their worries.
Li Qi, who had already gone mad and was almost entirely consumed by the Heart Demon, was pulled back by the boss, so what did they have to worry about?
No fear, just do it!
"Let Ran Tu go first."
Qin Tian offered the second opportunity for advancement to Ran Tu.
Ran Tu was slightly taken aback, then gratitude flashed in his eyes.
He didn’t refuse, nor did he utter unnecessary polite words, but simply nodded heavily.
This genius from the Direct Lineage of the Golden Family had already been a Legion Commander of the Empire’s top Legion before joining Ice Extreme Pass, with high status and formidable strength.
Someone like him was always surrounded by admirers and respect, yet upon joining Ice Extreme Pass, he never acted arrogantly based on his background and status.
On the contrary, he actively integrated into the group at Ice Extreme Pass, made friends with colleagues, and consistently obeyed orders.
Although Ran Tu hadn’t been with Ice Extreme Pass for long, Qin Tian had already acknowledged this White Tiger General from the bottom of his heart. Ran Tu had been at Peak Tier Six for many years, with deeper foundations than anyone, only lacking a trigger.
And now, the Pillar Stele Light had laid a more solid foundation for him, with the Reincarnation Lamp holding the line for him. Now, it was time for him to take a bold step forward.
"Thank you, Military Lord!"
Ran Tu’s eyes sparkled with intense excitement and anticipation, and he turned to the people beside him, clasping his fists, "Brothers, I’ll rely on you to protect me."
"You focus on your breakthrough."
Terreda grinned, "Leave the rest to us."
"Mm!"
Ran Tu nodded, then walked to the center of the valley, standing where Li Qi had just stood.
Ran Tu looked down at the scorched earth beneath his feet, then lifted his head, gazing at the sky that was now clear.
He took a deep breath, and suddenly, his eyes changed.
