Cultivation was a process that defied the heavens. Since it defied the heavens, the path of cultivation was naturally difficult to tread. There were hundreds of millions of cultivators who embarked on the path of cultivation, but how many of them could truly achieve great things? Too few. The human emperor realm alone was enough to trap over ninety percent of cultivators.
This path was fraught with calamities, but the most terrifying of them all was … heavenly tribulation!
These two words only existed in ancient legends. Only supreme existences who had reached the sage realm were qualified to receive heavenly tribulation. The heavenly tribulation would descend when they reached the sage realm. If they could survive it, they would be invincible in the universe. If they couldn't, then there was only one outcome.
Their body and soul would be destroyed, and their dao would vanish!
At this moment, thunder roared and lightning flashed in the sky above the mass grave. Bolts of lightning that were thicker than buckets intertwined like thunder dragons roaring. Their power was earth-shattering, and the divine power that could destroy the heavens and earth instantly filled the entire Emperor Star.
"Someone from the Emperor Star has stepped into the Holy Heaven Stage? How is that possible?"
"If it's not someone from the ancient clans, then who is it?!"
"Is it a human?"
The demon, Shura people, ghost, and sovereigns of the three ancient clans were all shocked.
They were all super antiques that had survived since the ancient times. They knew very well how terrifying the heavenly tribulation was. Since ancient times, only cultivators who had reached the sage realm would attract heavenly tribulation!
In other words, someone was attempting to break through to the sage realm!
What did the sage realm represent?
It represented invincibility!
It represented supremacy!
Throughout the vast universe, how many people had managed to reach the sage realm? One could count them on two hands. How could they not be shocked that someone was attempting to break through to the sage realm and attract heavenly tribulation?
A thick destructive aura spread out, causing the entire Emperor Star to fall silent. All living things were trembling in fear, as if the end of the world had arrived. The sovereigns of the ancient clans immediately thought that someone was attempting to break through to the sage realm. They wanted to watch, but none of them moved.
How vast was the might of heavenly tribulation?
That was the killing light of the great dao, and it was aimed at Holy Heavens experts. Even if the Sovereigns of the ancient races had ninety-nine lives, they wouldn't dare to look at it. In fact, they wouldn't even dare to send out their divine sense. Regardless of whether it was the power of the heavenly tribulation or the person who was attempting to break through to the Sage Realm, they couldn't afford to provoke either of them.
Everyone on the Emperor Star, including the demonic qi, believed that someone was attempting to break through to the Sage Heavenly Realm. But in reality, all of them were wrong. The target of this heavenly tribulation was far more insignificant than they'd imagined … He was only a Mysterious Immortal!
Boom!
Thunders rang out in the sky one after another, each more terrifying than the last, each more ferocious than the last.
In the mass grave, Jiang Xiaofan's face was deathly pale.
Ever since he embarked on the path of cultivation, he had encountered too many dangers and too many deadly situations. However, he had never encountered anything like this. At this moment, he truly felt despair, fear, and helplessness.
It was too terrifying!
The boundless thunderclouds hovered above his head. He could sense that the thunderclouds were targeting him because there was an extremely vast will that had locked onto him. Looking at the lightning dragon that was constantly rolling around, he really couldn't summon any courage to resist. He couldn't even move his feet.
"Why … Why is it like this?!"
He muttered to himself.
He'd read about it in the ancient books and naturally knew that this was the legendary heavenly tribulation. He just couldn't understand. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out why the heavenly tribulation, which had always targeted Holy Heavens experts, would begin to descend upon him the moment he stepped into the Xuan Immortal Realm. Did the great dao think so highly of him?
Heavenly tribulation … What was he going to use to resist it?
Boom!
The dull sound of a drum suddenly rang out. At this moment, the lightning clouds in the sky seemed to have finished brewing. At this moment, a red bolt of lightning suddenly descended from the sky, directly striking towards Jiang Xiaofan.
"Pu!"
With one strike, Jiang Xiaofan was split into pieces on the spot. Blood dyed the void red.
The heart-wrenching pain came, and the fear and helplessness in Jiang Xiaofan's heart intensified. His physical body was now stronger than most of the Three Pure Ones, but he couldn't even resist one strike from the lightning!
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! "
He roared furiously.
After the first bolt of lightning struck, the dark clouds temporarily quieted down. Only the endless red lightning intertwined within. Clearly, this heavenly tribulation was far from over. This was only the beginning.
Xuan Immortal Realm divine power surged, and Jiang Xiaofan reassembled his body with great difficulty.
The Indestructible Battle Body flowed with a faint immortal light. On the surface, there was no visible damage. However, this was only on the surface. At this moment, his face was completely pale. He had lost most of his vitality, and his body was on the verge of collapse.
With just one strike, he had suffered unimaginable injuries!
Boom!
The dark clouds rolled, and without giving him time to recover, the second bolt of lightning struck directly.
Jiang Xiaofan was terrified, but he couldn't just sit there and wait for death. At this moment, he didn't hesitate at all. He directly took out the ancestral artifact divine seal. Boundless Xuan Immortal Realm divine power surged out continuously, protecting his entire body.
The Three Pure Ones were mighty. At this moment, he used his Supreme Xuan Immortal cultivation to activate this powerful ancestral artifact. Immediately, it emitted the strongest divine light, like an immortal monument blocking his head.
However …
"Ka!"
The lightning struck, and the divine seal above his head was directly shattered into pieces.
"Pu!"
Jiang Xiaofan was struck again, and a bloody hole appeared in his chest. Not only that, but the other half of his body was directly shattered. Not even his bones were left behind. He had completely turned into dust.
"Cough!"
Jiang Xiaofan coughed up blood, and his face turned even paler.
Just like the first bolt of lightning, after the second bolt of lightning struck, the sky became quiet again. Taking advantage of this time, Jiang Xiaofan's body crackled. Faint divine light circulated, and the shattered half of his body reformed again.
Only he could do this. His physical strength was so strong that he could actually survive such a bolt of lightning. If it were any other Xuan Immortal, who could withstand it? They would probably be crushed to death before the lightning even struck, and there would be no chance for them to reform their physical body.
Even so, Jiang Xiaofan wasn't excited at all. His eyes were filled with despair.
An Ancestral Artifact had been shattered just like that. Even so, he had still suffered extremely serious injuries. At this moment, he didn't even have the strength to stand steadily. His body swayed, as if he would fall into the dust at any time.
Buzz!
Dozens of breaths passed. This time, the Heavenly Tribulation took a lot longer to brew.
Finally, the third bolt of lightning appeared.
The red lightning body was filled with a supreme aura that could destroy all things. The surrounding void kept cracking. Silver space-time turbulence flowed freely, but before it could completely rush out, it was shattered by the aura of the lightning.
Boom!
After three breaths of time, the Heavenly Lightning Bolt finally struck.
A huge space-time tunnel appeared in the void. It was completely caused by the heavenly might of the red lightning. The space was directly crushed. The red lightning was like a terrifying dragon that directly penetrated the entire space.
"Damn it!"
Jiang Xiaofan trembled and gritted his teeth.
This bolt of lightning was even more terrifying than the second one. They weren't on the same level at all. At this moment, he directly took out the ancestral artifact bell. At the same time, he summoned the mysterious space in his body. One in front and one behind, they blocked the third bolt of lightning above his head.
"Ka!"
The ancestral artifact bell shattered and dissipated with a puff.
The red lightning didn't seem to be obstructed at all. It continued to fall without any obstruction, violently crashing into the mysterious space that Jiang Xiaofan had propped up.
Boom!
An earth-shattering sound rang out. It was as if a heavenly drum had been beaten.
Puff!
Jiang Xiaofan coughed up a mouthful of blood and immediately retreated dozens of feet.
Unexpectedly, the third Heavenly Thunder was blocked, but the price was too great. At this moment, the space that he had propped up was torn apart. The grass withered, the flower buds withered, and even the new river dried up.
More than half of the small world with a radius of tens of thousands of feet was directly destroyed.
Other than the seven-colored lake in the center that was unaffected, the rest of the land was completely shattered. It was as if the world had experienced a major apocalypse. The silver divine copper remained motionless. The six divine orbs rotated slightly. The Sky Demon Sword and the Ancient Fusang Tree were also unmoved. It was as if all of this had nothing to do with them.
"What should I do?"
The fourth bolt of lightning began to brew in the sky. Jiang Xiaofan fell into deep despair.
The mysterious world in his body blocked the third bolt of lightning and didn't let it get close to him. However, Jiang Xiaofan wasn't happy at all. This was because he realized that this space was like the source of his life. When the space cracked, the damage that he suffered was no less than the previous two times!
"Boom!"
The deafening sound of thunder rang out. It was stronger and more terrifying than any of the previous times.
It seemed that the heavens were enraged because three consecutive bolts of divine lightning had failed to shatter the target. The fourth bolt of divine lightning crazily gathered tribulation lightning from all directions, emitting a destructive aura that immediately caused the entire pit of ten thousand people to collapse.
The supreme power was vast and mighty, and the entire Emperor Star fell into deep fear … However, after this fear, there were still some supreme experts who discovered the clues.
In the deepest part of the vast wilderness, the white-haired Yao Yuan's originally shocked face gradually turned suspicious. "This is no doubt a heavenly tribulation, but … how can it be so weak …"
As the strongest person under the Sage Heavens, Yao Yuan's aptitude was undoubtedly astonishing. In the resplendent ancient era, in order to let him go further, the Demon Emperor had personally brought him to witness the tribulation of a Sage Heavens powerhouse.
"This … shouldn't be …"
Yao Yuan was puzzled.
The tribulation that he had witnessed in the past was extremely terrifying. Even that Holy Heavens expert had a hard time blocking that destructive lightning, and he had only barely managed to survive after a close shave with death. But now, although he was far away from the tribulation, he could still feel the power of the lightning.
Compared to the tribulation he had seen in the past, this one was too weak. He felt that even he could easily withstand it. This made him frown deeply. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't understand what was going on.
