It would have been impossible for someone to go against the heaven turbulence made for just their realm.

Yet Tianlong stretched his hand out with a smirk.

'System, activate the Harem Harmony.'

DING!

[ Harem Harmony: 10% percent of the host's power will be shared with all members of the harem. ]

The moment I activated Harem Harmony, reality itself seemed to exhale in shock.

Golden threads of pure qi erupted from my body, weaving through the air like living lightning to connect with my three wives.

The bonds that had always existed between us suddenly became visible - pulsing conduits of shared power that made the very air sing with harmonics.

Yue gasped as bronze light exploded around her form, her Soul Formation cultivation suddenly blazing with an additional surge that made her green eyes widen in disbelief. "What... what is this feeling?"

Mei's vines erupted in a forest of emerald radiance, her nature affinity amplifying beyond anything she'd ever experienced.

The ground beneath her feet burst into impossible bloom - flowers that glowed with inner light, trees that grew from seeds to full maturity in seconds, a cascade of life energy that made the mountain itself tremble with vitality.

But it was Feng who showed the most dramatic transformation.

Ice crystals formed in the air around her, not the pale frost of her usual techniques, but crystalline structures that gleamed like captured starlight.

Her massive breasts heaved as power flooded through her meridians, and when she spoke, her voice carried the authority of winter itself.

"Tianlong... I can feel your strength flowing through me. It's... it's incredible."

The system notifications cascaded across my vision in a waterfall of blue text:

[Harem Harmony Activated Successfully]

[Power Distribution: Host retains 90% - Each wife receives 10% overlay]

[Combined Cultivation Output: 130% of original capacity]

[Synergy Bonus: Elemental fusion techniques now available]

[Warning: Tribulation difficulty scaling upward to compensate]

That last warning proved prophetic immediately.

The swirling vortex of divine judgment above us suddenly contracted, the massive spiral of storm clouds compressing into a tight funnel of absolute destruction.

Where before the lightning had been wild and chaotic, now it moved with deadly precision - dozens of bolts converging on our position simultaneously.

But we were ready for it.

"Formation!" I commanded, and my wives moved with perfect synchronization, our shared power allowing for coordination that bordered on telepathic.

Yue's enhanced archer abilities manifested as streams of bronze qi-fire that intercepted the incoming lightning, each bolt meeting an arrow of pure energy that detonated in spectacular bursts of light.

Her small but perfectly formed body moved with fluid grace, drawing and firing faster than the eye could follow.

Mei's amplified nature affinity created a living barrier around us - vines thick as ancient trees that absorbed the electrical energy and converted it into explosive growth.

Where lightning struck her defenses, forests sprouted in seconds, creating a maze of protective timber that channeled the attacks away from our position.

Feng's ice techniques had evolved into something beyond mere frozen water.

Crystal formations erupted from the mountain stone, creating geometric patterns that reflected and refracted the divine lightning into harmless light shows.

Her MILF curves moved with deadly elegance as she conducted the defensive symphony, each gesture spawning new crystalline bulwarks.

And I... I stood in the center of it all, arms spread wide, welcoming every bolt that made it through their defenses.

The lightning crashed into my body with the force of falling mountains, but instead of destroying me, it fed me.

Each strike added to my already overwhelming vitality reserves, the divine energy being absorbed and converted into raw power.

"More!" I roared at the sky, my voice carrying impossible distances. "Is that all Heaven has to offer?"

The surviving cultivators below watched in stunned silence as our coordinated defense turned the tribulation into a light show.

Elder Zhou Yifei's remaining disciples had given up all pretense of maintaining formation, simply staring in awe at the display of power above them.

"How..." Elder Zhou whispered, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. "How are they not only surviving but... enjoying it?"

Her question was answered when another massive bolt - this one the size of a city block - crashed down toward our position.

Instead of dodging or deflecting it, I reached up and caught it in my bare hands.

The divine lightning writhed in my grip like a living thing, crackling and sparking as I compressed it into a manageable form.

With casual ease, I began to mold it, shaping the raw energy like clay until I held a spear of pure tribulation lightning.

"Now then," I said conversationally, hefting the weapon and looking down at the battlefield below, "shall we clear out the rest of the pests?"

The surviving sect members realized what I intended a split second before I acted.

Panic spread through their ranks like wildfire as thousands of cultivators suddenly understood that they weren't just witnessing a tribulation - they were about to become collateral damage in a cosmic-level power demonstration.

"RETREAT!" screamed Sect Master Ling Haoran, his usually composed voice cracking with terror. "ALL FORCES, RETREAT NOW!"

But retreat was impossible.

The spatial distortions from my advancement had locked down local space-time, trapping everyone within a several-mile radius.

They could only watch in growing horror as I drew back the spear of crystallized lightning, my movements casual and unhurried.

"Husband," Mei said softly, her voice carrying a note of concern, "some of those people... they're just following orders. Low-level disciples who don't know any better."

I paused, the lightning spear crackling in my grip, and looked down at the sea of terrified faces below.

She was right - mixed in with the sect elders and ambitious power-seekers were ordinary disciples, young men and women who'd been dragged into this by circumstances beyond their control.

My wives watched me carefully, waiting to see what choice I would make.

This was a test, I realized - not from Heaven, but from my own conscience.

How much mercy could an ascended being show without appearing weak?

The answer came to me with crystal clarity.

"Yue," I said, still holding the lightning spear, "how many of those cultivators below do you estimate came here specifically to kill me?"

Her archer's eye swept the battlefield with professional assessment. "Maybe forty percent, husband. The rest look like they got caught up in the general mobilization or were following orders."

"Feng, your sect's people - are they here for rescue or elimination?"

Feng's pale blue eyes focused on Elder Zhou's battered formation. "Zhou Yifei leads extraction teams, not assassination squads. She's probably here to collect me after detecting the dimensional disturbance."

"Mei, what does your heart tell you about mercy versus justice?"

My curvy wife's vines swayed thoughtfully as she considered. "That true strength doesn't need to prove itself through unnecessary slaughter. But neither should it allow genuine threats to escape."

I nodded slowly, decision crystallizing.

With a casual flick of my wrist, I sent the lightning spear not into the crowd of cultivators, but into the empty mountain range to our west.

The weapon struck with the force of a falling star, completely erasing three peaks and leaving a crater that glowed with residual divine energy.

The message was clear: I could have killed them all without effort, but chose not to.

"ATTENTION!" I called out, my voice amplified by qi to reach every corner of the battlefield. "I am Emperor Zhao Tianlong, and I have returned from death itself to reclaim what is mine!"

The silence that followed was absolute.

Even the tribulation seemed to pause, divine judgment waiting to see how this unprecedented situation would unfold.

"Those who came here seeking my destruction have seen a demonstration of power.

Those who came here by accident or misunderstanding are free to leave - but know that my patience is not infinite."

I gestured toward Elder Zhou's formation specifically. "Zhou Yifei of the Immortal Sect - your Elder Feng chose her own path. She is my wife now, and under my protection. Carry that message back to your masters."

The tribulation above us rumbled ominously, as if Heaven itself was growing impatient with the delays.

More lightning began to gather, and I could sense that the easy part was over.

What came next would test not just my power, but the bonds that held my harem together.

"And now," I said, turning back to my wives with a grin that promised violence and pleasure in equal measure, "let's show Heaven what happens when heavens try to judge an Emperor."
