While the heavenly realm was preparing for battle the celestial emperor Song Taiyi's trial had reached at its peak and was at the final stage. He was now a mortal and even his black hair was now grey. He stared defiantly at the gathering clouds with a nonchalant attitude." Lord guardian,it seems that this will be the end of his journey. What a pity," the hidden voice once again sounded out. It was initially shocked when Taiyi managed to pass the first two tribulations but now that he was a mortal it no longer had any hopes for him and it had already prepared itself to witness the death of a genius." It doesn't seem like it. I have a feeling that he will give us a surprise," the guardian replied. After saying these words he fell silent and stared at Taiyi with a conflicted expression. As he stared at Taiyi he couldn't help but let out a sigh. It could be said that he had raised Taiyi and considered him to be his grandson. At this moment he seemed to travel back in time staring at the young boy travelling in the mortal world with a joyful expression on his face while taking in the sceneries of the mortal realm,the flower realm,the water realm,the fire realm and even the heavenly realm. At that time he was just an innocent boy who did not have such heavy responsibilities but in just a few millennium here he was now. Having been baptised by the cruelty of the heavenly realm and having to watch his brother die before him he was now forced to shoulder the responsibility of being an emperor at just a young age of twenty thousand years old. At this age he could still be considered a child who was just entering his youthful phase. The old man knew that even the death of Taiyi's parents,although affected him, did not affect him to this degree. What truly pushed him to the wall was the death of his brother. To Taiyi his brother was always a role model. So.eone he looked up to but he was forced to watch his brother die. No one knew about the reason or how his brother died but Taiyi knee and this was recorded as on of the mysteries in the six realms,the three seas and eight deserts. Although the old man wished for that innocent boy but he knew that he couldn't be willful as that innocent disciple of his was now gone and all that was left was the mighty heavenly emperor who ruled over the six realms,the three seas and the eight deserts." It is finally starting," the hidden voice said bringing the old man out of his dazed state. The old man stared solemnly at the platform as his hand tightly gripped his walking stick." You know the rules lord guardian. No one can interfere with the tribulation," the hidden voice said. The old man took in a deep breathe and relaxed his tensed muscles." No worries I know the rules do don't worry about me. I won't interfere with his tribulation," the guardian said. As the countless divine birds came striking at Taiyi, Taiyi finally showed a reaction. An image of a white dragon appeared behind him. His black hair stopped turning grey instead it turned to silver and his eyes changed to blue. Horns appeared on his forehead while scales started to appear all over his body. After sometime he transformed into a white dragon that had a length of about one hundred and fifty thousand meters which was more than the length of a divine dragon. The dragon let out a loud roar as if it was angered by the tribulation. It charged upwards and faced the countless divine beasts with it body. Each of the beasts left marks on its divine body and it's divine body was soon full of cracks and gushing wounds in which golden blood was flowing out from. The dragon let out a roar that was filled with pain but it still persevered. Even then when it seemed to have reached its endurance level and as another divine beast crashed onto it it fell from the sky.Thud! As the dragon fell to the ground dust and debris flew all over from the platform. A huge hole was left on the platform. "It is over." "Not yet. Can't you see the imperial tribulation is yet to scatter?" The old man said as they stared at the hole left on the platform. After a few seconds,the white dragon came out of the hole and flew to the sky. By now only five beasts were left in the sky and these beasts were even more dangerous than the first seven. As the first beast came striking down the dragon roared and opened its mouth to swallow the attack. With this the dragon was further injured and pushed to the brink of death but only anger,unwillingness and determination could be seen in its eyes. It opened its mouth and an orb flew out from its mouth. The orb managed to block the attack of two beasts before it cracked and the dragon fell down with its injuries intensifying. With the orb cracked,Taiyi could no longer maintain his dragon form. At this moment Taiyi stood up and stared at the sky. He was now left with two beasts in the sky. One was the golden crow who had the power of the sum and the other was the ruler of the sky who was the golden dragon. Taiyi's horns were still visible and had yet to appear. Blood could be seen dripping from the sides of his mouth even though he tried hard to swallow them in. He stared at the sky and madly laughed." Come on. Let me see if you can kill me," Taiyi arrogantly claimed as he firmly stood on the ground with no intention of backing out rather his eyes shown with fighting intent. The two beasts stared at him and at this moment they seemed to possess intelligence as they stared at him in disdain. Taiyi stared back arrogantly at them. He did not cower in the face of these beasts that could kill him. He came to this place prepared to fight to his last breath but he was determined to leave this place alive. It was also at this moment that the assault from the demon realm started and before the gods knew it there was already a breach in the east and north gate respectively. The gods were left with no other choice but to mobilise their troupes faster but even this failed as it seemed thay someone had already betrayed the heavenly realm and submitted to the demon realm. All the gods had no choice but to hide in the heavenly palace. The demons acted swiftly and took the heavens by surprise striking when the gods were unaware hence they were able to swiftly invade heaven. Taiyi did not know any of this as he was now in a life and death situation. Both the heavens and its king were now in dire situations where both could cease to exist.
