Cyril slowly thrust the black and white spear into the fracture in the sky. The spear pierced in further, causing the web-like fractures in the sky to grow larger and larger. Inside these fractures was an expanse of dark chaos and void.

An aura of destruction and grief swept through heaven and earth.

The members of the Heaven Crushing Sect finally recovered from the Origin Tribulation, and they continued to funnel their power into the Heaven Crushing Spell Formation.

The Ancient Dragon Empress looked up at the two powerful Heavenly Disciples in the sky, and she discovered that there was genuinely nothing she could do to help. Even during the Origin Tribulation, she had only barely maintained her composure and not fallen to her knees. However, her Dao had already been severely damaged, and even her mind had started to waver.

She was clearly a Heavenly Disciple as well, so why was the gulf between them so great…?

As a Heavenly Disciple, what was her significance?

The Ancient Dragon Empress felt extremely vexed and defeated. However, she continued to tirelessly pour her Heaven Crushing Power into the Heaven Crushing Spell Formation. Crushing the heavens wasn’t for herself, but rather for the beings of the entire world! She had to persist!

Chen Chen looked toward the fractures in the sky. At this moment, a dark matter suddenly enveloped the sky. Immediately afterward, it enveloped the land and then the void.

His vision became black.

Chen Chen was extremely alert, and he murmured, “Is this… some sort of energy attack?

“No, this isn’t an energy attack!”

Chen Chen immediately ruled out his own speculation.

If this were an energy attack, he would have been able to instantly shatter it, regardless of how powerful it was.

“Changes and experiences in my own world… This is actually a true experience?” Chen Chen looked around, yet he didn’t discover any signs of illusions or trickery.

Immediately afterward, countless stars and planets materialized before him. He existed amid these stars, and what he saw was a breathtaking and magnificent sight.

However, Chen Chen naturally understood that the Heavenly Dao hadn’t dragged him here to enjoy the scenery.

“Such grand efforts. By the looks of it, this tribulation is only targeted at me and me alone. It’s not a large-scale tribulation. Anyhow, targeting me first? I guess so… After all, one should capture the ringleader in order to capture their followers…” Chen Chen chuckled as he said this. He then calmly observed the stars and planets before him.

What was his first feeling upon seeing these dazzling celestial bodies?

It was naturally astonishment and awe. He couldn’t help but admire the natural wonders of the universe.

Moreover, Chen Chen knew that this sight was real.

He was indeed standing in the center of the universe. As he gazed at the boundless celestial bodies, his senses were greatly aroused and stimulated.

Right now, it could be said that he was greatly enjoying these scenes.

He was like the ruler of the universe as he peered at the countless stars.

Chen Chen enjoyed this scene for a day, and then for a month. Gradually, however, the dazzling celestial bodies before him didn’t appear magnificent and enjoyable anymore. Instead, they appeared a little… dull and boring?

Indeed, they were a little dull and boring.

The celestial bodies were unchanging. Even though the planets were orbiting, and even though the galaxies were transforming, Chen Chen still felt that the scene before him was starting to become monotonous and boring.

Regarding his initial feelings of astonishment and awe, these had already disappeared long ago. Becoming accustomed to something was sometimes a terrifying notion.

Chen Chen understood that this wasn’t what the Heavenly Dao wanted him to experience.

One year passed, ten years passed, one hundred years passed…

Chen Chen didn’t have anyone to talk to, nor did he have anyone to accompany him. He could only gaze at the universe before him, not eating, not sleeping, and not being able to do anything else. He could only continue to gaze forward.

Is this the feeling of being the ruler of the universe? So incredibly boring…

Chen Chen chuckled as this thought flashed through his mind. He understood what the fourth tribulation of the Nine Tribulations of the Heavenly Dao was.

It was the Isolation Tribulation.

This was a tribulation that would make Chen Chen experience profound loneliness.

In fact, this was something that one would have to experience if they were to become the Supreme Heavenly Dao.

Chen Chen understood that loneliness could make one go insane.

If one forced a mortal human to stay inside an unchanging room for several days with nothing to do and no one to talk to, they would definitely go crazy in no time.

Right now, this expanse of dazzling universe was like an unchanging room for Chen Chen.

However, it was a slightly bigger room.

A very long time passed.

Ten thousand years, twenty thousand years, one hundred thousand years, one million years…

Chen Chen felt like the surrounding stars had already become background decorations.

Even the explosion of stars, the feasting of black holes, and the contortion and implosion of galaxies were unable to evoke any emotion from him.
