Fantasy: My Wife is the Empress, and Our Cute Kids Wreak Havoc in the Nine Provinces – Chapter 286

Chapter 286: Chu Feng Undergoes the Divine Tribulation

In the Imperial Study of the Middle Province Imperial Capital.

The Empress was examining ancient texts when a hoarse voice sounded from a dark corner: “Your Majesty, the people sent to Cangzhou have sent back a message.”

“Did they find the person who caused chaos in Cangzhou?”

The Empress closed the ancient text and asked. She was very interested in the mysterious expert who had wreaked havoc in Cangzhou and inadvertently helped her out of a difficult situation. If she could win them over, it would greatly help stabilize the situation in the Nine Provinces Empire.

The hoarse voice sounded again: “They didn’t see the person, but they heard it was two brats under five years old.”

“Two brats under five years old?”

The Empress was stunned. Her beautiful brows furrowed slightly. After a moment of thought, she asked, “Didn’t Qingyu mention that two brats under five years old appeared in the Nine Provinces Secret Realm and defeated the number one prodigy of the Nine Provinces, Long Shaotian?”

“Yes!”

The hoarse voice sounded, “According to the information they found, these two brats should be the same two from the Nine Provinces Secret Realm. Martial Saints under five years old, it’s truly unbelievable. I wonder which hidden power is nurturing them.”

The Empress fell silent upon hearing this. The power behind them, capable of nurturing such heaven-defying children, was likely even more terrifying. If she could win over these two brats, perhaps she could also win over the family behind them.

“Continue, what did those two brats do?”

After a moment, she spoke.

The hoarse voice continued, “Those two brats are really troublemakers. Not only did they empty the Cangzhou Provincial Governor’s Mansion and the two Sacred Grounds of their treasures and techniques, but they also went to Lei Zhou and emptied the Lei Zhou Provincial Governor’s Mansion and Sacred Ground. By the time our people arrived in Lei Zhou, the two brats had already been teleported to the Wasteland Province. Moreover, the Wasteland Province’s teleportation array has been closed, so they cannot travel to the Wasteland Province via teleportation. They can only cross the provincial sea, which will take some time. Based on the clues we have, Cangzhou and the Wasteland Province have already secretly formed an alliance. The Wasteland Province closing the teleportation array is likely related to Cangzhou being emptied. Based on the two brats’ behavior, I have a feeling they might empty the Wasteland Province as well.”

“They really are two brats.”

The Empress’s eyelids twitched as she listened. Emptying three provinces, even she, as the Empress, wouldn’t dare to imagine it, yet those two brats had done it. Moreover, they were able to escape from the pursuit of so many Martial Emperors. They were indeed not simple.

The hoarse voice paused for a moment and continued, “Your Majesty, that lineage has always coveted the throne. After the previous Emperor’s death, they have been making small moves in secret. Your lineage only has you and the Princess. These past three years, you have sacrificed too much to stabilize the situation. I think those two brats might be Your Majesty’s lucky stars. With them causing such a ruckus, these three provinces will have no time to continue pressuring Your Majesty. In fact, when the news spreads, the attention of the other provinces will also be diverted to those two brats. If we can use this to our advantage and spread rumors of our alliance with a mysterious hidden family, we can deter others with ulterior motives.”

The Empress fell into deep thought after hearing this. It was indeed a good idea, but it might also offend the power behind the two brats. She thought for a while and finally shook her head, saying, “Dispatch all the secret guards and spread them throughout the Nine Provinces. No matter where, as soon as they see those two brats, bring them to me immediately. I want to meet these two monstrous brats myself.”

“Yes, Your Majesty,” the hoarse voice replied.

“Is there any news about the Martial God Ancestor?” the Empress asked again.

“Not yet,” the hoarse voice sounded again.

The Empress sighed inwardly. Could it be that the Martial God Ancestor was really going to ascend to the God Realm? Once the Martial God Ancestor ascended, with no one to guard the empire, the Nine Provinces would surely fall into chaos.

She rubbed her forehead and turned to look in the direction of Dàshí Village, her heart filled with endless longing: “Feng, are you well?”

Whenever she thought of the turmoil in the Nine Provinces, she couldn’t help but think of her husband, Chu Feng. Once the Nine Provinces fell into chaos, Dàshí Village would probably not be spared. How would her husband and two children survive in a chaotic world?

Little did she know that the husband she was thinking of was currently in a remote part of the Nine Provinces, undergoing the final wave of the divine tribulation.

Boom!

High above, tribulation clouds gathered, and powerful divine lightning spread throughout them.

These lightning powers did not contain the power of Rules, but a higher level of divine power.

Just one bolt of divine lightning could destroy a Martial Emperor.

However, in just over a hundred days, Chu Feng had already converted the Rule power within his body into divine power. He had only begun to undergo the divine tribulation seven days ago, facing forty-nine waves of tribulation lightning every day for seven consecutive days.

◈◈◈

The difficulty of the divine tribulation was so great, it was no wonder that only one Martial God had appeared in so many years.

“The last wave of the divine tribulation. After passing it, I can go back.”

Chu Feng looked up at the tribulation lightning that was gathering power in the sky, his eyes slightly narrowed.

The last wave of tribulation lightning was also the most powerful. He had been undergoing tribulation for seven consecutive days, and the energy in his body was almost depleted.

Boom!

Just then, the heavens and earth shook, and a world-destroying bolt of divine lightning shot out from the tribulation clouds, crushing towards Chu Feng.

“Come!”

Chu Feng formed hand seals, and the divine powers of saber, sword, and spear, representing three different Rules, intertwined and fused together, forming a massive, spiraling drill. And he, beneath the drill, continuously poured his divine power into it.

A moment later, he leaped up, soared into the sky, and charged straight at the divine lightning.

With a loud bang, the spiraling drill collided with the divine lightning. After a brief stalemate, it forcefully carved a path through the divine lightning, charging upwards and directly into the tribulation clouds.

The tribulation clouds contracted violently several times before exploding with a boom. At that moment, the entire heaven and earth shook.

Buzz!

When the tribulation clouds dispersed, Chu Feng, his clothes tattered, hovered in the air, spitting out a mouthful of blood. But his face was filled with a different kind of radiance.

He was injured, but he had successfully passed the divine tribulation.

Golden light descended from the void and gathered within Chu Feng’s body, helping him forge his divine body.

“Controlling three types of Rule divine power simultaneously, I’ve never seen or heard of such a thing before.”

Just as Chu Feng had just condensed his divine body and hadn’t had time to feel it yet, an old voice suddenly sounded.

“You’ve been watching for so long, you’re finally willing to come out.”

Chu Feng was not surprised at all. He turned to look at the person and said calmly.

He had sensed this old man when he first appeared, but he was focused on undergoing the tribulation and had no time to deal with him. Moreover, if he hadn’t had to divert some of his attention to guard against this old man, with the Ancestral God Inheritance, he wouldn’t have been injured in the divine tribulation.

“Is this array of yours an ancient formation, little friend?”

The old man stepped out of the void. His old but spirited eyes examined the surroundings, praising, “Undergoing the divine tribulation creates such a huge commotion that the entire Nine Provinces can sense it. Yet, little friend, you used this formation to conceal it, preventing outsiders from detecting it. If I wasn’t nearby and about to ascend, with my powerful divine sense, I wouldn’t have noticed the anomaly.”

Chu Feng looked at the old man and asked, “Are you the Guardian Martial God of the empire?”
