It's indeed much more powerful than the Aureate Body Ordeal!
Raising his head to look at the sky, Zhang Xuan's face remained impassive.
Having gone through so much in life, his state of mind had been tempered to a whole new level. Even though the lightning before him threatened to tear him to shreds, it was unable to shake his heart.
Let's give it a try!
A vicious glint flashed across Zhang Xuan's eyes as he dived his soul back into his body.
"What is the guild leader up to?"
Ancient Sage Mo Ling felt as if his head was about to explode.
Zhang Xuan had only achieved a breakthrough in his soul, so his physical body was still at Sempiternal realm consummation. If his soul entered his physical body, it would be no different from drawing in the heavenly tribulation. If he were to be careless, his physical body would be shattered and he would die on the spot.
"He's probably trying to use the pressure of the Ancient Sage Ordeal to temper his physical body and zhenqi so as to see if he can push for a breakthrough!"
Sovereign Chen Yong narrowed his eyes in shock.
The reason why he was able to achieve his current strength was because he had put his life on the line when he was younger. It was only by putting his life on the line that he was able to reach his current height.
However, compared to the Young Master, his hard work was nothing at all!
With his talent, it was only a matter of time before he could achieve a breakthrough to Ancient Sage. There was no need for him to be so conflicted about it, but he just had to resort to such an extreme method!
Using his physical body and zhenqi to make use of the pressure of the Ancient Sage Ordeal to push for a breakthrough to Ancient Sage … The slightest mistake could cost him his life.
This was too insane!
In an instant, both parties were completely distracted by the sight before them, forgetting to continue fighting.
Hong long!
Zhang Xuan's soul returned to his physical body, and his zhenqi began to surge furiously. Two massive clouds of ominous energy were born and fused together with the previous one.
Heavenly flames and lightning bolts rained down on Zhang Xuan like meteors. The black flames burned furiously, and it didn't take long for them to completely devour Zhang Xuan's body.
Empyrean Heavenly Flame!
Furthermore, it seemed to be even more powerful than the previous Aureate Body realm one. The temperature was so high that even ordinary Ancient Sage artifacts would not be able to withstand it.
"Aeon of Ancient Sage!"
Zhang Xuan roared furiously as he unfurled the scroll once more, and the Aeon of Ancient Sage gushed into his body.
In an instant, it felt as if his blood essence had been ignited, and his sweat and blood were evaporated simultaneously in the scorching environment.
Kacha! Kacha!
His skin and muscles were charred black, and blood-colored cracks appeared on them.
His physical body and zhenqi cultivation had not reached Sempiternal realm consummation yet. No matter how powerful he was, he was still only a Sempiternal realm consummation cultivator. There was no way he would be able to withstand the Ancient Sage Ordeal head-on.
If not for the nourishment of the Heaven's Path zhenqi, it would have already shattered into pieces by now.
"Is it not possible?"
Suppressing the pain in his body, Zhang Xuan gritted his teeth.
He was well aware of the prowess of the Ancient Sage Ordeal. Just as Sovereign Chen Yong had said, the reason why he had allowed his soul to enter his body was so that he could make use of the pressure from the lightning tribulation to achieve a breakthrough in his zhenqi cultivation.
It was only a matter of time before he became an Ancient Sage. Others knew that there were no bottlenecks in his cultivation at all.
If there were no accidents, he would definitely succeed within a hundred years.
A hundred-year-old Ancient Sage … Regardless of whether it was on the Master Teacher Continent or the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, he was definitely one of the strongest Ancient Sages in the world.
However … he couldn't wait that long!
He had to find Lozosy and get an explanation from her … There was no time to waste.
Therefore, even if it was risky, even if there was a possibility of death, he would not hesitate!
Hong long long!
The lightning tribulation and heavenly flames continued to fall on Zhang Xuan. It was as if he had been locked in a cauldron. His physical body was severely damaged, and his zhenqi was swiftly dissipating.
"Ancient Sage blood!"
Zhang Xuan opened his mouth wide.
Huala!
The blood of an Ancient Sage gushed into his body as if it was free, nourishing his depleted energy and sustaining his life.
"Continue!"
The sight of the Infernal Blacksaber, Yuan Tao, and the Dragonbone Divine Spear breaking through to Ancient Sage surfaced in his mind.
Why was it so difficult for him to do so?
Zhang Xuan dashed right into the storm clouds.
"Madness! He must have gone mad!"
Ancient Sage Allfire trembled uncontrollably.
The Beast Tribe was born with a powerful bloodline and physical body, but even so, he dared not charge into the storm clouds back then to face them head-on.
His master was only a Great Sage, but he was already daring enough to do so. Did he think that he was not dying quickly enough?
No matter how powerful an Ancient Sage was, it was not worth it to lose his life over such a matter!
Si la!
The storm clouds in the sky seemed to have sensed Zhang Xuan's provocation, and they began to rage. A streak of lightning tore through space, tearing open a pitch-black fissure. Following which, more and more lightning gathered within the fissure, and flames began to burn on it. Gradually, the storm clouds began to solidify.
Looking from afar, it looked like a massive saber floating in the air.
"It's the Tribulation of Lightning Armament! It's said that this is a tribulation that only occurs when one is attempting a breakthrough to Ancient Sage 4-dan Dimension Shatterer realm. Why would it appear here? "Sovereign Chen Yong's face paled, and his heart nearly leaped out of his throat.
As the number one Otherworldly Demon Emperor, he had read many books regarding Ancient Sage 4-dan breakthroughs.
It was said that in order to reach that level, one would have to undergo the Tribulation of Lightning Armament, where heavenly flames and lightning would materialize to form a divine weapon.
Every move of the Tribulation of Lightning Armament could shatter the heavens and shatter the earth. Even if Sovereign Chen Yong had encountered it at his peak, he would have died on the spot.
The Young Master was only attempting a breakthrough to Ancient Sage, so why would such a thing appear?
"It's over …"
Ancient Sage Mo Ling and Ancient Sage Allfire were so frightened that they were rendered speechless.
Even though they had no idea what the Tribulation of Lightning Armament was, the massive saber formed from heavenly flames and lightning was definitely not something that they could withstand with their current strength. In fact, just looking at it left their minds in a state of chaos.
Above the altar, Sovereign Chen Ling halted his absorption of the energy in fear. At the same time, the black hole seemed to revere the might of the Tribulation of Lightning Armament as well, and it subconsciously shrank in size. The might of the Tribulation of Lightning Armament was something that anyone would fear.
"Such a powerful tribulation shouldn't appear in a normal Soul Ordeal. My physical body and zhenqi have to withstand it at the same time.
Zhang Xuan felt goosebumps rising all over his body.
Zhang Hongtian and Ancient Sage Yan Qing had told him that the more times one attempted a breakthrough to Ancient Sage, the greater one's future accomplishments would be. Back then, Kong Shi had attempted a breakthrough four times, and he had only chosen to do so on his fifth attempt.
Yuan Tao had also attempted a breakthrough once, but he had intentionally lowered his cultivation in order to not succeed.
Under normal circumstances, as long as he released his soul, it would be equivalent to a single lightning tribulation. However, with his physical body and zhenqi charging in with his physical body, he had intentionally triggered the lightning tribulation.
This was equivalent to three lightning tribulations stacked on top of one another, resulting in the formation of such a powerful weapon.
If he could overcome the tribulation, it would be equivalent to pushing for a breakthrough to Ancient Sage three times in a row. His physical body, zhenqi, and soul would be greatly enhanced. On the other hand, if he failed to overcome the tribulation, he would only lose his life.
Without a doubt, Yuan Tao was using the most extreme method possible to overcome the tribulation.
"Let's give it a try then! I don't believe that I won't succeed! "
With a roar, he clenched his fists and charged straight at the Divine Weapon saber in the air.
Huala!
The saber swayed lightly as it tore through the air. Barely after Zhang Xuan's fist came into contact with the saber, the overwhelming pressure from the saber caused cracks to appear on his palm. Fresh blood flowed from the wounds, and in the blink of an eye, his muscles were stripped away, revealing his white bones.
