A world completely made out of magma and volcanoes.

A black fiend covered in flames stood at the top of a volcano, muttering: 『 It’s here, I can feel it calling me? 』

It drew a flaming great blade from the burning volcano and stared down below.

It was looking down at a sea of endless boiling lava.

The Flame-eater Fiend King brandished its flaming blade, shouting to the sea of lava: 『 Come with me, the harvest of 2 million souls awaits us!? 』

With that shout, it slashed the void of space apart and stepped inside.

From the sea of lava, countless flaming figures jumped out and followed the Flame-eater Fiend King closely into the crack in space.

On another side, a world with only two colors of grey and white.

The Shadow Fiend King also sensed the Tribulation summoning it.

It stared down at the [Infinite Golden Sand Grail] in its hand for a while before carefully putting it away.

『 About this time, what do you think?? 』it questioned.

A few other shadows who were its aides had already finished discussing, as one of them stepped out and answered: 『 Sire, even though souls are useless to us, it still is a valuable asset. They can be used in various evil creature realms as a type of currency? 』

The Shadow Fiend King stood silent for a bit, then spoke: 『 Very well, either way, I’ve already signed his Contract, and this Contract doesn’t mess around? 』

『 Souls aren’t exactly my favorite type of money, but the old saying holds—– who feels sad about having too much money?? 』

The shadows around it all nodded.

The Shadow Fiend King stood and declared: 『 Prepare the troops, your king will lead you to a great profit!? 』

『 Yes, sire!? 』

In another world.

The Asura King was on his white elephant.

At this time, he was resting by a female Asura, drinking a wonderful liquor poured by her.

All of a sudden, he sensed something.

Downing the entire cup at once, he stood up on the white elephant’s back and shouted: 「 In this Tribulation, your King allows you to fight to your heart’s desires! I only hope that you will improve your skills and find your own path to become strong!? 」

He laughed as he spoke with a tone similar to that of a party goer that was about to arrive at a big celebration.

In front of the white elephant was a flight of stairs that led downwards from his palace——– to a large plaza preparing for war!

The battle-ready Asura army had all gathered at the plaza, cheering loudly at his declaration.

“Battle! War! Battle! War”

“Battle! War! Battle! War”

“A great honor had been bestowed on us!”

The Asura King nodded in approval, took a halberd in hand and flew up, entering the space vortex that opened up in the sky.

In a world of hungry ghosts, the Hunger Devil King called upon its subordinates.

In a dim and depressing world, the Bloodthirsty Devil King wore its King Armor and loudly commanded its army.

At a world of tombs, the Malahoh Devil King brought the force of its race into the space vortex. historical

—-they were all heading to the lost world of the Old Gods.

The Progenitor also felt the calling of the Tribulation.

『 We’re about to begin, this time, I will be bringing my old subordinates 』she said.

As the Progenitor was about to leave, Empress Li Yang came forward and bowed.

『 What is it?? 』the Progenitor Fiendess asked.

『 Great Mother, originally you wanted to summon us here to open our eyes, and this Heaven’s Tribulation is truly a never-before-seen sight for this daughter. This daughter only asks that you allow her to bring her subordinates and join you in the battle? 』Empress Li Yang requested.

After a bit of thinking, the Progenitor Fiendess smiled: 『 Very well, you may bring your subordinates? 』

『 Thank you, Mother!? 』Li Yang joyfully said.

Seeing that, the other Tianma sisters also tried asking to come with all at once.

The Progenitor Fiendess flicked her hand up: 『 All of you shall come. Witnessing such a grand ordeal at least once is beneficial to all of you? 』

Saying so, her body had already started to melt into the void of space.

Li Yang’s sisters also quickly left to summon their subordinates and got ready to enter the battlefield.

At this point, all the 8 Kings that held the Seats of Tribulation were ready.

The ice layer.

The intense wind howled around the camp.

Gu Qing Shan stood at the eye of the wind storm, unmoving.

The demonized quickly noticed something wasn’t right.

“What’s happening?” the demonized leader asked.

Next to him, a cultivator explained: “It’s the Wind Tribulation”

“Wind Tribulation?”

“Yes, when a cultivator breaks through Sainted realm to enter Projection realm, not only will the heaven rain lightning, evil creatures will also come in troves. This Wind Tribulation that’s about to happen should be calling various Fiends and Devils to come to kill him”

“Will it affect us?”

“It won’t, as long as we don’t enter the range of the Wind Tribulation”

“Why can’t we go in?”

“If we enter the range of the Wind Tribulation, the Tribulation will recognize that as several people trying to face the Tribulation together, it will summon even more evil creatures that will recognize us as targets to attack”

The leader’s expression loosened and asked: “Which means, even if we don’t do anything, he’s going to die?”

“Correct, even if he manages to survive the Tribulation due to some sort of luck, it will have already used up all his strength, at that point, just a few of us will be more than enough to kill him”

The leader laughed: “Then I’ll have to pray that he won’t die in the Wind Tribulation, his life is worth quite a big bounty after all”

Around him, powerful demonized all smiled.

“Relay my order, everyone sit back and enjoy the show, there’s no need to go in to die for no reason”

“After the Wind Tribulation is over, if that guy is still alive, we’ll divide the possible bounty appropriately before killing him” the leader said.

“Roger!” everyone loudly replied.

The order was quickly relayed around the 2 million demonized.

Everyone now understood what a Wind Tribulation was.

The demonized all calmed down briefly.

——-let this terrifying bastard face his Tribulation.

The fact that cultivators had to face a Tribulation in the first place was strange.

Most other Professions naturally become stronger as they proceed step by step on their path.

But cultivators weren’t that fortunate, they had to repeatedly fight with their lives on the line against heaven itself to secure a chance at becoming stronger.

The Lightning Tribulation was already a terrifying ordeal.

And now with the Wind Tribulation, against evil creatures that would arrive in troves, a cultivator was expected to face thousands by themselves and survive.

Anyone could tell just how dangerous that was at a single thought.

No one here would be willing to have a taste of that if they avoid it.

Thinking that, the demonized quickly took a considerable distance from Gu Qing Shan, afraid that they might get caught up in his Wind Tribulation.

Now all they had to do was wait.

Wait until he either dies or becomes exhausted.

Gu Qing Shan stood at the middle of the ghost army’s camp and saw what the demonized were doing from start to end.

“…How cooperative”

He muttered.

At a certain point, perhaps sensing something, he took out the Devil King Warden Rod and stabbed it on the ground.

The head of the scepter was giving off a bright red light.

This was the Tribulation’s summon.

It was about to begin.

Gu Qing Shan looked to the sky.

Above.

The wind howled and screamed.

Countless strange and bizarre creatures appeared from the void of space, looking down at the world below.

These creatures were all created from fire and flames, only looking very closely could you see their ferocious charred expressions through the bright fire.

An excited voice called out.

『 Hm, indeed there are 2 million souls here, and you even got them to orderly line up right here for us, how extraordinary? 』

A black creature covered in intense flames came down from the sky, landing next to Gu Qing Shan.

The Flame-eater Fiend King had arrived.

Right after him, all over the camp, countless blurred shadows swirled and rumbled, as if countless creatures had appeared below the ice, on the ice as well as all over the void of space.

A cold voice came.

『 Tsk, tsk, tsk, there really are 2 million souls just waiting here to be killed? Seeing how well you prepared everything here, I’ll forgive you for killing one of my bodies from before? 』

A huge shadow stood straight up from the ground, standing at about 8 meters tall, at a glance, it looked exactly like an unknown abyss of darkness.

The Shadow Fiend King had arrived next to Gu Qing Shan.

The dim and greyish sky was suddenly illuminated as a glorious light of sunset appeared, causing everyone to look up.

Within the beautiful light, countless faint female singing voices could be heard.

They were singing in unison:

『 The little doe sing faintly, eating apples on the field;

We have a guest, the metal drums beat;

A moon so bright, when will it fade;

A worry so far away, it can’t be cleared? 』

With the song, countless black flowers manifested from the air.

A matured, graceful and beautiful woman stepped on the flowers as she slowly descended.

She lightly landed next to Gu Qing Shan.

『 Where are the ghosts?? 』she asked Gu Qing Shan.

“Killed them all” Gu Qing Shan curtly answered.

『 Much better done than I thought? 』

Saying so, the Progenitor Fiendess looked all over at the army of demonized people.

While looking, she couldn’t help but lick her lips.

『 …All of them are young souls below 30 years old, exactly to my tastes…? 』

The Progenitor Fiendess had arrived.

A few seconds later, a topless handsome man jumped down from the sky.

He rested his halberd on his shoulder as he looked around.

「 My people are ready to kill at any time? 」he casually said.

The Asura King had arrived.

Three more black boiling devilish presences appeared from the ground.

The three Devil Kings appeared at the same time.

『 2 million… perhaps a bit more than that? 』the Hunger Devil King chuckled as he spoke.

『 The Huang Quan Devil King certainly doesn’t cut any corners? 』the Bloodthirsty Devil King praised.

『 So many wonderfully juicy lives, when will we begin?? 』the Malahoh Devil King impatiently asked.

As they spoke, they also walked up to Gu Qing Shan.

Now, the 4 Fiend Kings and 4 Devil Kings had all gathered!

Gu Qing Shan placed his hand on the Devil King Warden Rod and muttered: “Let us begin”
