"Maybe it's because Jiu He cursed me somehow, the number of heavenly tribulation embodiments targeting the Nine-tailed Dragon has been unusually high," Zhu Minglang said.
The heavenly tribulation embodiments can originate from the wandering Heavenly Souls of the gods, nearby deities in residence, or even demon cultivators and evil Buddhas drawn by the commotion.
One cannot help but notice how similar this scene is to what happens in the Dragon Gate. To seize the Spirit Root, even the most upright deity will transform into a ravenous specter eager to devour—but it's critical to note that these are just embodiments, not their true forms!
That embodiment, grotesque like a crimson-faced demon giant, might very well belong to a Fairy cultivating peacefully on some Fairy Island.
An old figure, exuding a saintly demeanor with an air of celestial integrity, could simply be a thousand-year-old demon ghost lurking in the Black Sea Trench.
