Chapter 286 Four Nine Heavenly Tribulations
In Junyang City, countless mortals are busy working for their own livelihoods all day long.

For most mortals, being able to live in peace is the greatest happiness.

Of course, among the vast number of mortals, there are also some who are unwilling to be ordinary.

These people, whether for wealth, status, or the illusory fate of becoming an immortal, will do almost anything.

The Changjing Gang is a powerful underground gang in Junyang City.

Xu Yuanhai, the leader of the Changjing Gang, is a powerful master whose strength has reached the late stage of the Innate Realm. He has gathered nearly ten Innate masters and a large number of Acquired Realm gang members under his command.

With such a scale, the Changjing Gang can be regarded as a powerful force that ranks among the top in the entire Junyang City.

However, the Changjing Gang has always had a very bad reputation, because their main business is the underground industries of the entire Junyang City, such as pornography, gambling, drugs, and murder.

Even occasionally, the Long Whale Gang doesn't mind playing the shameful role of masked bandits.

At this time, in a huge and luxurious manor at the headquarters of the Changjing Gang, the gang leader Xu Yuanhai was gathering several of his trusted men to discuss something.

"Is what you said true, Lao Liu?"

Xu Yuanhai asked a plump, white-faced middle-aged man with a mustache sitting at the seat below.

The middle-aged man called Lao Liu cupped his hands and replied with a smile:

"Don't worry, big brother. I have personally observed it several times and the news is indeed true. This month alone, that person has purchased at least ten Xiantian Realm monster corpses from the hunting teams in the East City. He is definitely a fat sheep!"

Hearing his words, Xu Yuanhai was not careless at all.

"Have you figured out the other party's background?"

he asked.

"This"

The wealthy middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, but still said truthfully, "I did find out, but..."

"Just what? Why are you speaking so slowly?"

Xu Yuanhai glared at him in dissatisfaction.

"Brother, this is it."

The wealthy middle-aged man said directly, "My men have traced back to the fact that there are only a young man and an old servant in the villa. The two came to Junyang City about thirteen years ago, and then they bought the villa. On weekdays, except for the old servant who occasionally goes out to buy things, they almost never go out and don't contact people. Therefore, we really have limited information about their background."

"Then you still dare to instigate them to attack, aren't you afraid of hitting a tough guy?"

Xu Yuanhai glared at him heavily.

In his opinion, it was too brainless to act rashly without checking anything clearly.

Xu Yuanhai controls most of the underground industries in Junyang City, and has done countless things that have angered the people.

But the biggest reason why he can still live so freely today is that he is careful enough!
He would be fully prepared for any action. Sometimes he would even give up some seemingly easy-to-obtain benefits to ensure his own safety first and make sure he would not offend anyone he could not afford to offend.

After all, before he founded the Changjing Gang, he witnessed with his own eyes a powerful force that was once ranked among the top three in Junyang City. However, its leader accidentally provoked a powerful "immortal" who hid his identity in the secular world just because he was competing with others for the ownership of a popular flower card in a brothel.

In the end, more than a dozen high-ranking Xiantian realm masters including the leader were all killed in an instant by the "Immortal", and the entire powerful force fell apart from then on. His Changjing Gang took advantage of that time to gather a large number of gang members of that powerful force, and then quickly rose to become the overlord of Junyang City.

Until today, he still could not forget the horrifying scene when the immortal unsheathed his flying sword and instantly chopped off the heads of more than a dozen innate realm powerhouses. Therefore, caution has almost become an instinct engraved in his bones.

"Before finding out their background, no one is allowed to take action against this family. Whoever dares to act rashly, be careful or I will chop off his head!" Xu Yuanhai warned viciously.

Seeing his serious tone, the wealthy middle-aged man called Lao Liu and several other high-ranking members of the Changjing Gang naturally did not dare to offend him and hurriedly agreed:

"yes, Sir!"

“Yes, we understand.”

At this time, in the majestic courtyard near Tiantong Avenue, Zhou Yang was sitting cross-legged on the ink stone square in the backyard, entering into a wonderful state of sensation.

It has been 13 years since he came to Junyang City. As early as the third year, he had already improved his physical fitness to the ultimate level of external power.

Afterwards, he decisively chose to use the genetic energy cultivation method of the Devouring World to further strengthen his body, and ultimately directly broke through the so-called external power limit bottleneck of this world, pushing his physical fitness to a new level!
In the next ten years, he continued to practice according to the genetic energy cultivation method of Devouring the World.

Ten years have passed. With the help of the spiritual energy concentration in this world that far exceeds that of the Devouring Universe and the large amount of 'demon beast' meat prepared for him by Qiying, he has improved his physical fitness to the peak of the god of war level!
The pinnacle of the God of War who devours the world, his basic punching power alone can reach over 25 kilograms!
You know, the power that the innate great perfection masters in this world can only burst out is tens of thousands of pounds. In other words, Zhou Yang's basic strength is now nearly ten times that of the innate great perfection masters in this world!

And if he were to break through to the planetary level, he would probably be able to easily crush the Jindan realm practitioners in this world.

However, after reaching this step, Zhou Yang fell into a dilemma.

Because no matter how he tried, he was still unable to trigger the transformation of his body and completely enter the planetary realm.

Somehow, he felt that there seemed to be some kind of limitation in this world, and only by breaking this limitation could he continue to improve.

Zhou Yang has been sitting cross-legged in meditation in the backyard square for nearly ten days.

For ten days, he had neither eaten nor drunk anything, and devoted all his attention to capturing and touching that special restriction.

His mind went straight into the darkness and naturally merged with the heaven and earth, and his perception was vague and ethereal.

Zhou Yang can clearly feel the vitality and vigor of any life within a radius of several miles, even a plant on the roadside or a nest of ants in the corner!
During these nearly ten days, his soul seemed to have undergone a miraculous transformation.

"boom!"

Zhou Yang felt his mind suddenly shaken, and he could no longer maintain the state he was in just now, and he suddenly woke up.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and a hint of unexpectedness flashed in his gaze.

"Forty-nine Heavenly Tribulations? The method I practiced to devour the world can actually sense the Forty-nine Heavenly Tribulations?"

Zhou Yang was a little surprised.

Just now, a vast energy penetrated directly into the depths of his mind, making him instantly realize that he would face his own "49th Heavenly Tribulation" in three months. This feeling was truly mysterious.

According to the cultivation system of this world, after one has cultivated to the realm of innate great perfection, when one's own understanding and accumulation are sufficient, one will face the test of the 'Forty-nine Heavenly Tribulations'.

When the thunder strikes, it will be both a calamity and an opportunity.

If one cannot get through, he will naturally die and be directly killed by the thunder.

And if one can withstand the test of the 'forty-nine heavenly tribulations', he can successfully break through to the Golden Core realm, from then on he can fly into the sky with a sword and the great road can be expected.

"Forty-nine Heavenly Tribulations, what a familiar name. Could it be that I have really come to that world?"

Zhou Yang couldn't help but feel a little excited.
