Villain Cultivator

Chapter 445: Group Heaven Tribulations

Many world guardians stared at Miaomiao in disbelief. They searched for the compound element crystal or the fragment, but they found nothing.

The only clue was Miaomiao's dantian, which emitted the faint power of an unknown element.

One of the guardians closed his eye and sighed. He told his colleagues, "This brat is probably trying to cultivate a compound element. Let him finish and give him the Heaven Tribulation he deserves."

"Are you sure?" Many other guardians doubted it.

"There is no physical evidence about the forming of the compound element crystal. We can't give him a tribulation according to the law."

"Then, let's wait until he completes it. Even if he doesn't create the compound element crystal, we still have to give him a few tribulations since he already skipped so many."

…

The dark cloud caused a commotion in the city. Many beastmen and cultivators believed that someone might face a Heaven Tribulation soon as many heaven eyes had been gazing upon the city.

Parents of new disciples panicked and rushed to the authority. They complained to the local guards to do something about the sinister clouds and the eyes in the sky as they had no idea about world guardians.

As for the non-commoners, they stared at the sky in solemn, waiting to see the Heaven Tribulation.

While weak cultivators speculated about the upcoming tribulation, nascent soul cultivators like Jia Shan, Ma Ping, and others could tell from their senses of whom might be tested.

"Damn, Miaomiao. What did you do this time?" Jia Shan sighed and rolled his eyes. He ignored the event and flew to the dryad forest, planning to cultivate under the world tree.

The other elders also ignored the commotion as they were used to it. This troublemaker always did something stupid, but he was reliable. Therefore, they expected Miaomiao to clean up his own mess.

…

It took Miaomiao and Xu Chu 20 years in the Isolation Training Space to finish creating the new compound element. However, only 10 days had passed in the real world.

Miaomiao and Xu Chu's Qi were depleted. They collapsed on the ground, panting in exhaustion.

"Miaomiao, I've changed my mind. You will have to dual-cultivate with me for at least 100 years, or I won't ever? help you again!"

"Understandable. This thing was freaking insane!"

They lied on the ground, gazing at the floating orb in the sky. Next to them, Diaochan and the maid robot had a picnic party, sipping tea in leisure while watching the hand-sized black-and-white crystal.

The orb contained both Yin and Yang Essence, but they had the properties of basic element Qi as well. Inside, Yin Fish and Yang Fish swam clockwise, chasing each other and forming a Yin Yang image.

Every minute, it pulsed and released random basic element Qi to the air.

Miaomiao tried to count how many elements that it could produce. Surprisingly, it could create all basic elements, light elements, and shadow elements.

Nothing was special with this crystal aside from the Qi Production Ability.

"What a waste of time," Xu Chu was disappointed. "I thought you would have created something amazing. It turns out that you just created a freaking energy generator."

"I'm not planning to integrate the crystal to my dantian. It's for a pylon tower's socket."

"Ah, come to think of it, you said that you have a pylon tower in the real world. So, you embed this thing into the tower, huh?"

"Yeah. Life Essence is not enough. I want the tower to produce element Qi as well."

"You might kill commoners and weak cultivators though. Don't forget that they can't cultivate elemental Qi before they reach the 5th-stage. It's a mortal world we're talking about, not a godly planet with a super population like a world from an immortal realm."

"I know. I'll adjust the production rate."

Miaomiao spent another day inside the space to rest and hand the Grimoire to Diaochan. He collected the orb into his system inventory and woke up.

Upon coming back to the mortal world, he was greeted by a dozen Heavenly Eyes of world guardians. They stared at him, waiting for his explanation.

"Umm, hello?" Miaomiao nervously smiled.

All guardians narrowed their eyes. One of them inspected Miaomiao's dantian, "Where is the compound element crystal?"

"Excuse me?"

"You were cultivating a compound element crystal inside your dantian, but we can't sense it anymore. Did you fail?"

Miaomiao was confused for a moment. Then, he clapped his hands as a light bulb appeared in his mind.

"Yes, I tried to condense another compound element, but I failed."

"You haven't suffered a backlash though. Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure."

"…"

The Heavenly Eyes glanced at each other. More than half of them snorted and disappeared along with their dark clouds.

A few giant eyes remained behind as they had an unfinished business with Miaomiao and his allies.

"Mao Miaomiao, since you've been receiving supports from the higher existence, we prolonged your Hell Tribulations and Heaven Tribulations for a long time. It's time to pay for your due."

Miaomiao raised his eyebrows, "I already forgot that Heaven Tribulations are still a thing. Do I have to take it?"

"The rules are the rules. You and your wives will have to take it. Call them out and get to a rural place away from the town if you don't want to trouble the commoners."

The guardians gave Miaomiao time to prepare despite their superior status. They were aware that Miaomiao was a DaoTuber, and many immortals were watching his live stream. As a result, they gave him face and preferential treatment, so they wouldn't offend Miaomiao's backers and fans.

Since these seniors gave Miaomiao face, the latter accepted their offer, "Okay. I'll gather my wives to take the tribulations properly. Who do you want me to bring along?"

"All women that dual-cultivated with you at least once."

Miaomiao turned into a stone as the request was impossible. If he had to bring all his wives with him, he would have to take Wu Guotai along!

His sinful relationship with Wu Guotai would have been exposed, and he would surely offend Sun Wentai!

"Can I only take those who are available? Can we postpone a few girls since they are too busy at the moment?"

The eye rolled upward, "Suit yourself. I'll give you an hour to prepare. Gather wherever you are comfortable, and we will start as soon as you're ready."

"Roger that!"

…

Aside from Dian Wei and Sun Wentai, Miaomiao gathered his wives and led them south. Wei Yuan, Ju Shoufen, and the girls gathered at the border between Siren City and Zither Tongue City.

This place was a barren mountain range with nothing but stones and rocks. Although a few rogue cultivators dug a few caves to use as their abodes, the population in this area was neglectable.

Still, for the sake of keeping his appearance and reputation, Miaomiao bellowed and warned the local population beforehand.

"HELLO, FELLOW DAOISTS AND PEOPLE OF THE MOUNTAIN RANGE. I AM MAO MIAOMIAO, THE CITY LORD OF SIREN CITY. CURRENTLY, I AND MY WIVES WILL BE TAKING HEAVENLY TRIBULATIONS AND HELL TRIBULATIONS HERE. PLEASE BE CAREFUL IF YOU HAVE TO TRAVEL IN THIS AREA!!"

His voice was loud enough. All local people and the residents of this mountain range could hear him.

Many steadfast cultivators stopped cultivating and fled elsewhere while curious people stayed behind to spectate the event.

A dozen Heavenly Eyes appeared along with their signature clouds. They stared at the group for a moment before they vanished.

The dark clouds roared and transformed into thunderstorms. Tornados descended, hiding various elemental weapons inside.

Then, the tornados swallowed Miaomiao and his wives, one per person. Each tribulation tornado carried them away and isolated them.

Wei Yuan faced the tornado that contained the Dark Element Power while Mao Xueyan encountered a storm wind with spirits of white tigers. Dandan, on the other hand, found a rampaging bloody orb in the eye of the tornado.

A shadow of Xu Lanying appeared before White Album. Not far from the ice tornado, Ma Xingjuan widened her eyes in shock as she saw a dead man before her. The shadow was too similar to Lu Fengxian!

Kang Yan was surprised as well. Her tornado was filled with dark flower petals and sharp blades, but a shadow with Ling Tianlong's face continued to fly within the wind storm.

Ju Chen and the vampires got simple tornados, carrying Blood Elemental Spirits. Meanwhile, the succubus gang was showered by a power that they had learned from the Silver Phoenix Sect, the Dual Flame!

Liu Guang was challenged by hordes of man-eating insects. Ju Shoufen found a baby golden crow inside the tornado. As for Zhao Yun, she could see a spirit of a handsome military general on a white horse and a long spear. He pointed the spear tip at her face and gathered Flame of Life in his weapon.

Each tornado hid a strange phenomenon inside.

As for Miaomiao, he hovered alone in the eye of his tornado, but he could hear his own voice from behind.

Upon turning back, Miaomiao discovered a transparent shadow with his appearance, wielding Killer Queen and his War God battle gears.

Before everyone could do anything, they heard the voice of the Tribulation Eyes.

"From here on out, you cannot move. You can only resist the attacks from whatever you're facing and try your best to overcome the tribulations."

"…"

The spirit with Miaomiao's face grinned and raised a middle finger, provoking Miaomiao.

"Can I beat the shit out of my shadow?" Miaomiao was offended.

One of the Tribulation Eyes orbited around Miaomiao's tornado. It whispered to him, "No. Heaven Tribulations are not for combat. You must resist nature's force and overcome the ordeal with your strength. Only then, you will be acknowledged as a proper cultivator, not a cheater as you are now."

"…"

"Normally, we give tribulations to every cultivator who breaks through a realm to test their qualifications. But as of late, the Immortal Worlds and Heaven Worlds are in chaos, so we're too busy to monitor everyone."

"So, it's your fault."

"Nobody is at fault. Well, forget it. Just try to survive and earn your keep. Good luck."

The eyes vanished, and the tribulations began.

BOOM

BOOM

BOOM

The other tornados began unleashing their might to the women inside. However, Miaomiao could no longer hear them as his attention was elsewhere.

In front of Miaomiao, his shadow spirit gathered Holy Flame of Life Element Qi in his fingers, and the former knew that move.

It was the Thanos Snap that he had used to kill Xie Tian's clone and other clones in his Isolation Training Space!

BOOM

With a snap of fingers, Miaomiao could sense that all his Life Essence in his body was forcefully converted into Holy Flame and was ignited.

Yet, Miaomiao couldn't move. He hovered in the eye of the tornado, bathing in flame.

The Holy Flame disintegrated his flesh, but Miaomiao's natural recovery ability offset the damage. He mustered all his remaining controllable Life Essence and Holy Flame of Life to heal himself.

But the shadow didn't stop attacking. He activated Death Fortress Sword, Word Formation, and attacked Miaomiao with a million flying swords.

Unable to fight back, Miaomiao gritted his teeth and transformed into a wood dragon with metal scales, blocking the physical attacks with his natural defense.

But as everyone was enduring the tribulations, multiple lightning bolts landed on them.

Red, Yellow, Black, and Rainbow Lightning hit Miaomiao every time a sword hit his scale, causing severe pain to his mind and body. The others faced fewer colorful bolts as they didn't have unusual constitutions.

"DAFUQ!?"

Miaomiao stared at the sky in anger. He didn't expect a lightning bolt on his head.

POEK

As if Miaomiao's shadow clone had mocked him, it smacked the back of his dragon head with the copy of Killer Queen.

Miaomiao could faintly read its lips.

[Where are you looking at?]

"…"

Miaomiao groaned and released his aura, trying to push the shadow spirit away.

But his clone laughed and sent many spatial slashes at him. Miaomiao's wings, horns, dragon front legs, and a portion of his body were cut.

BOOM

BOOM

Multiple bolts of lightning hit him again!

"Dammit!"

Ding

[The Devil and dao gods encourage you.]

["Endure, Miaomiao. You can do it!"]

"…"
