When Feng Jun realized that he was facing a Heavenly Tribulation, his heart sank more than half—it was an era of dwindling magic; who had ever heard of a Heavenly Tribulation? Once it appeared, it signified the will of this dimension.

He really didn’t want to believe that this Heavenly Tribulation was coming for him. How long has it been since there were legends of the Heavenly Tribulation? The Earth Realm might have even lost this ability, and suddenly a Heavenly Tribulation appears—is it coming for me?

He really couldn’t figure it out; he had already succeeded in Core Formation, and he was far from forming a Nascent Soul. No matter how you looked at it, he shouldn’t be struck by lightning—he had a good relationship with the Boundary Domain and had always been a Patron.

So this Tribulation Thunder wasn’t coming for him, but if it wasn’t coming for him, who else could it be for?

Then it could only be the Five Rings. But the spirit of the Olympics... could it be that annoying?

This was all a flash in his mind, faced with the rolling Heavenly Tribulation, Feng Jun’s only reaction was: run!

Honestly speaking, he wasn’t afraid of the Tribulation Thunder himself; first, it wasn’t his time for a Heavenly Tribulation, and second: if he couldn’t withstand it, it was his own cause and effect, so dying would serve him right, truly without resentment or regret.

But the key issue was: Luohua was something he had painstakingly built up, and the Heavenly Tribulation was ruthless, destroying everything in its path!

So he could only choose to run: let it chase wherever it wants, whether it was targeting him or the Five Rings, he couldn’t let it destroy his Luohua!

His body flickered, instantly blinking over a hundred miles away, and he simultaneously took out a bottle of pills for replenishing Spiritual Energy and bit into a Heavenly Fragrance Fruit with a "crunch".

As he ran, he used his Divine Sense to invoke the Guardian above the Alxa League, "Senior, is this an Artifact Tribulation?"

"You owe me a hundred Upper Spirit Stones," the Guardian’s voice transmitted back, surprisingly starting with a monetary talk, but it had its reasons, "Using Divine Sense to connect with me under Tribulation Clouds, are you inviting me... to join a Tribulation for fun?"

"You’re joking, Senior," Feng Jun continued to blink, chewing on the Heavenly Fragrance Fruit non-stop, "Upper Spirit Stones are not an issue; once my Storage Bag is well-stocked, everything is negotiable. With your status, these small Tribulation Clouds are barely like a drizzle to you, is this an Artifact Tribulation?"

Luckily, using Divine Sense didn’t require his mouth, allowing him to keep blinking while replenishing the Spiritual Energy in his body.

"Of course, I’m not afraid of these Tribulation Clouds," the Guardian responded leisurely, "but being entangled in cause and effect is annoying!"

It was well aware that it wasn’t just about annoyance; this little guy didn’t even know what he had triggered, but it had no intention of making it clear.

Feng Jun couldn’t help but ask again, "Senior, how can these Tribulation Clouds be resisted? I request your guidance."

He wasn’t very worried about the Tribulation Clouds; back in the Out of Body stage, he dared to interfere in Core Formation, and later he himself passed the Core Formation Tribulation Lightning.

For him, transcending tribulations wasn’t scary; the unknown was—to him, he didn’t even know what he was facing.

The Guardian slowly countered, "Judging by the direction of your blinking, are you heading to the East Sea?"

"I’m just trying to leave Huaxia as quickly as possible," Feng Jun replied helplessly, then swallowed the Heavenly Fragrance Fruit in his mouth. He didn’t want to say he intended to put the blame on another country because it wasn’t a respectable thing to do, and the Guardian didn’t care much about that either.

"Chasing the shadow while losing the essence," the Guardian critiqued his actions and then gave a pointer, "If you’re worried about involving innocents, why not head to the Taklimakan?"

At this, Feng Jun knew right away the Guardian was referring to the twenty thousand square kilometers of desert land he had contracted, now turning lush, and within a few years, it should become a habitable area.

So he asked again, "Those plants have developed with great difficulty; won’t they be destroyed?"

"So what if they’re destroyed?" the Big Boss indifferently replied and then added, "You have merits there; minor destruction is fine. What’s important is that you can get the Boundary Domain’s protection; transcending the tribulation won’t be difficult."

Feng Jun had thought of this possibility too, and upon hearing it, he couldn’t help but mutter, "If the Boundary Domain were willing to protect me, would these Tribulation Clouds have appeared at all?"

The Guardian snorted lightly, "Tribulation Clouds are the rules of the Heavenly Dao. How can the Boundary Domain possibly stop it? Having some influence is hard enough."

Realizing this, Feng Jun turned his body and rushed towards the northwest.

His blinking was fast, and the Tribulation Clouds chased closely; although the clouds’ speed couldn’t possibly catch up with him, these clouds were manifestations of the Heavenly Dao’s Will. Nearby, clouds would appear, and further away, they would gradually disperse, reflecting the concept of clouds forming and dissipating.

Zhang Caixin and Zhong Lijing were left dumbfounded, "Is the boss... scared away?"

"No," Zhang Caixin shook her head, immediately denying her thought, "He’s afraid the Tribulation Thunder will damage the manor. But speaking of... what kind of tribulation is he undergoing? I know Core Formation has a tribulation, but does refining a True Artifact also have one?"

Zhong Lijing couldn’t even bother considering these, "The problem is, where is he going now, and how can we help him?"

"If I’m not mistaken, he’s likely planning to go to Ni Hong," Cai Xin said, fully understanding Feng Jun’s thoughts, "He doesn’t want to cause trouble for his own Guojia, so he might as well drag someone else into it."

Zhong Lijing couldn’t help but interject, "Then let’s hurry up and leave too."

"Calm down," Cai Xin glanced at her and spoke sternly, "It’s not wrong to worry about the boss, but do you think we can help if he’s in trouble? What we need to do now is not to complicate things for him and help guard Luohua."

"I know you’re right, but I can’t help it," Zhong Lijing took out her mobile phone from the Storage Talisman, intending to turn it on, "I want to check the news from Ni Hong."

"I don’t recommend doing that," Cai Xin’s voice became severe, "Any of your actions can be captured and interpreted by outsiders, and you’re causing trouble for the boss."

Zhong Lijing paused, reluctantly putting away her phone, "They might not be able to detect the boss’s Blink."

"They might indeed not detect it," Cai Xin nodded slowly, then sighed, "but once we make a move, it’s hard to say."

Though she said this, it was indeed not the case; Feng Jun’s Blink was extremely fast, imperceptible to the naked eye, but there was always a Blink point, and even though he constantly released his Divine Sense to explore, it still took time to make judgments.

There was no other way; there were simply too many people in Huaxia. During one Blink, he nearly flashed into a village, made a temporary adjustment, and appeared beside a farmer at work.

The person never expected someone to suddenly appear next to him, and his body jerked violently, dropping his hoe in fright. However, in the next moment, that person disappeared with a swoosh.

This person rubbed his eyes, looked around, and confirmed there was indeed no one there, yelled out "Mom!" and ran away frantically, "Damn, encountered something strange, better go to the temple and burn a few sticks of incense..."

Feng Jun blinked all the way, taking five or six minutes to reach Taklimakan, with a Heavenly Fragrance Fruit already consumed, retaining about eighty percent of his Spiritual Energy.

Seeing the dark clouds rolling in around him, he pondered for a moment, swallowed two more Elixirs, and then began setting up a defensive formation and Spirit Restoration Array to prepare for the impending Tribulation Thunder.

At that moment, a jeep rushed over from afar, trailing a long plume of dust behind, then a loudspeaker sounded, "Gray-clothed person, raise your hands, you have trespassed into a forbidden zone, you must submit to an investigation."

The next moment, an even louder voice rang out, "I am Feng Jun, currently on my contracted land, you must leave immediately, it’s about to thunder here, which you can’t withstand!"

The jeep screeched to a halt upon hearing these words: This person in front, is the legendary owner of this land?

They had received orders not to offend the landowner, but ever since they stationed nearby, they had never seen the person in charge.

However, a number of mysterious people occasionally appeared around, and they conducted strict investigations.

Therefore, Feng Jun’s authority did not make them leave; instead, someone loudly responded, "Lift your head, we need to verify."

Feng Jun raised his face, sustaining it for about two seconds, then waved his hand, speaking loudly, "Go, go, go, leave quickly, can’t you see the sky’s about to change?"

Someone in the jeep was still reluctant, wanting to see what would happen, but finally, someone spoke, "Facial recognition successful, leave quickly, no unauthorized lingering."

The jeep sped away, but fifty kilometers away, an observation post slowly rose, supported by four hydraulic columns, reaching a height of even fifteen meters, "Can’t go any higher, grounding line’s length is insufficient."

The primary purpose of the observation post is observation, with a height limit of thirty meters, but the insufficient length of the grounding line cannot effectively prevent lightning over fifteen meters.

Someone expressed bravado, unafraid to continue rising, but got a thorough scolding, "You fool, look up, the sky is already this dark, and you’re still talking nonsense... this height is enough."

Everyone looked outside upon hearing this and was immediately terrified, "Oh my god, is it nighttime already?"

As time passed, the sky grew darker, and soon it was pitch black, unable to see one’s hand in front of their face.

While outsiders found this astonishing, Feng Jun was already accustomed to it; darkness was hardly the issue, the real concern was the terrifying energy contained within the Tribulation Cloud, which unnerved even him.

No wonder even the Guardians hinted it might be a weapon tribulation; this aura is truly terrifying, unmatched even by ten Golden Core Tribulations combined.

However, upon further thought, he was relieved; such an otherworldly Stone Ring, able to harm Nascent Souls even when incomplete, causing such a commotion now was quite understandable.

Yet, understanding is one thing, and seeing the sky above turn dark as ink, his mood remained somewhat heavy: Can I withstand it?

He wasn’t the only one with this shadow on his mind; those fifty kilometers away were also extremely worried, "A thunderstorm appearing in the desert, this guy... is he undergoing a tribulation?"

Meanwhile, they were nervously contacting their superiors, trying to find out under such circumstances if they could use high-powered searchlights to see what exactly was happening inside.
