What was witnessed that day would forever be called the day of heaven's rage, but that would be much later.
As the crimson red waterfall of lightning crushed the tower, the tower gave off a dense runic light shone through the tower vigorously absorbing the excess lightning without letting a single thread of lightning escape.
As thousands saw this scene, many big shots had a thoughtful look on their faces as though in deep thought.
Just then the waterfall seized the apparitions of those famed seniors who had died and had been manifested by the heavenly dao.
Many saw their ancestors, lovers and even masters, yet they couldn't communicate with them.
As anguished cries were heard in the air, they quickly attacked, not giving any breathing room to maneuver. From sabers to swords,hammers, bows and arrows, nets and all manner of dao domains were released bombarding the tower shaking the lands, tearing space and destroying the immortal mountains and lakes, yet the tower remained firm.
As this was happening, the two taking on the tribulation started using weapons.
The guardian dressed in white unsheathed his sword in a slow but deliberate manner and with a single swing, the attacks were all wiped out of existence leaving nothing but a group of ghost-like figures striking poses in the air, yet the killing intent in the air was palpable, shocking those watching.
The attacks weren't destroyed, they were erased from existence, making it seem as though it never happened.
Just as everyone was still transfixed at the impossible, the man in grey took out a normal looking saber that seemed to be found on any ordinary battlefield and in a whisper, word filled with a deep indifference towards all sounded out,'separation of chaos' and just like that, thousands upon thousands of seniors dispersed into light particles that were absorbed by the tower.
There was no disturbance, no great fluctuations in space. As the big shots looked at and analyzed the scene, there was one fact that they had all come to common understanding and for the first time ever both the celestial and immortal emperor came to a common understanding and worked together, yet those of the beast realm were smiling from ear to ear as new immortal emperors of such great power were on their side.
As the tribulation clouds ran out of energy and receded, just as the two emperors were about to make their move, they felt a strong force that suffocated them, making them feel the presence of death closer than ever before.
This presence was much stronger than them and seemed to be on the brink of breaking through the next level, a level beyond what was thought to be the peak of power and aim higher. This individual seemed to be more dangerous than the so-called guardian.
Right then, a voice transmission reached both of them and looks of shock appeared on their faces as they both looked at the imposing figure of the Azure Emperor.
