Divergent

Legendary existences of heaven and earth.

Divergents were not accepted by the Heavenly Daos. The stronger they were, the more powerfully they would be rejected by the Heavenly Daos. Each of them would be a shocking genius that would sweep across the world. Unfortunately, fireworks could not be sustained for more than a moment.

Within the long history of the cultivation world, such figures were like the flower known as the Queen of the Night. That flower bloomed for but one night a year, wilting before dawn. When these figures bloomed, although they would shake the entire world, their time would be over in just a moment.

## Divergent

The Heaven-Defier is the most legendary existance and the most domineering type out of all the divergent. They were enemies of the Heavenly Daos, refusing to submit to the heavens’ will. Legend has it that once a Heaven-Defier has sufficiently grown, they can overthrow and replace the heavens itself.

The heavens consider the the Heaven-Defier to be its mortal enemy and will trigger an apocalyptic tribulation everytime a Heaven-Defier advance realms.

## Apocalyptic Tribulation

An ordinary heavenly tribulation is just a trial from the heavens. Because it's a trial, it's meant to be clearable and can never exceed the capabilities of the one that triggered the tribulation. In addition, cultivators normally only began to experience tribulations when they reached the Xiantian Realm.

The legends said Divergents would all began suffer lightning tribulation when entering the Meridian Opening Realm. The heavens wanted them dead before they could reach the Xiantian Realm.

A Heaven-Defier can trigger an even more extreme form of heavenly tribulation called Apocalyptic Tribulation when they reached the Blood Condensation Realm. Unlike normal tribulations, they aren't meant to be clearable. They are meant to kill and will give no way out. The apocalyptic tribulations are much larger and last way longer compared to normal tribulations. And the lightning is filled with the will of annihilation that Heaven-Defiers can't absorb them nor use them to temper their body since they lack the slightest life energy. Even Heaven-Seizers should have had some life energy in their tribulations. In addition, every time a Heaven-Defier advanced to a new cultivation realm, they would only face an even more frightening apocalyptic tribulation.

## Note.

During the past, there was quite a bit wrong info written here.

There is only one type of Divergent. It's the one who is not included in Heavenly Dao plan.

The Heaven Seizers(Heaven Hunter in raws) mentioned here before are not divergent. You can take them as Heretics. They are able to steal someone's Heavenly Dao blessing after killing him. Neither do they get absolute annihilating tribulation nor they are hated by Heavens.

Dongfang Yuyang was also a Heaven Seizer. Rather than getting hated by Heaven's, he was blessed by it. He was one of the best Heavenly Pride and Heaven Chosen expert from Longevity family.

Only a Divergent, which Long Chen is hated by Heavens.

**Empyreans- (This title is explained in chapter 1092 and 1461)**

There is no mention of Empyreans within 3500 released chapters. It previously said that they are created by Heaven to stop the chaos and bring peace. But the basic necessity of being Divergent is to be not even being in Heavenly Dao plan let alone getting chosen by it. They probably confused and put almost the same properties that a Heavenly Emperor has.

Those who are unsatisfied with this explanation, join the discord server mentioned in comments and talk before changing it back. We have 10s of guys who have read raws so not everyone is on wrong here.
