Chapter 160 - 467-468

Chapter 467: Transcending the Five Decays of Heaven and Man, The Nine Transformations Thunder Calamity Arrives!

[How Unjust is the Heavenly Dao!]

[Countless living beings, all experience birth, aging, sickness, and death...]

[Mortals, their lifespan does not exceed a hundred years; cultivators, their lifespan does not exceed a thousand years.]

[Even immortals, only linger for tens of thousands of years...]

[All things in this world, ultimately return to the Heavens...]

[The differences in spiritual roots, aptitude, and race...]

[As your process of self-loathing and decay accumulates, your premonition of the Heavenly Dao's injustice becomes increasingly strong...]

[Amidst daily lamentations and self-pity, another hundred years pass...]

[In the third century, finally, your resentment towards the Heavenly Dao gradually transforms into... self-loathing!]

[What is the pursuit of a cultivator's life? Longevity, freedom? What is their meaning?]

[Even a Great Luo Immortal will eventually face the end of their lifespan...]

[The path to Sainthood is severed, external threats from alien races, and internal strife... does cultivation still have meaning?]

[You begin to doubt your own Dao Heart, you begin to doubt the path of cultivation...]

[Amidst this questioning, another hundred years pass!]

[In the fourth century, as time passes... your doubts about the path of cultivation grow stronger.]

[You begin to gradually abandon cultivation, you begin to question why you cultivate... the ten-thousand-year struggle, battling against others, battling against Heaven and Earth, battling against alien races... in the end, what is the meaning?]

[You begin to gradually lose an emotion called desire...]

[You have no longing for cultivation, nor any ambition to achieve eternal life.]

[Under the influence of this emotion, you begin to contemplate ending your own life more than once...]

[Finally, in the four hundred and seventieth year of enduring the self-loathing decay, you attempt suicide...]

[Your physical body is constantly being ravaged, your spirit begins to gradually lose focus.]

[Just then... a figure appears beside you!]

[It's the White Emperor!]

[At the critical moment, he saves you!]

[The White Emperor gently extends a finger, and a white light enters your brow...]

[In an instant, everything comes flooding back!]

[A thousand years ago, during your encounter with the Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, you made a request.]

[You hoped that when you faced the self-loathing decay, the Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion would offer assistance, a chance for 'clarity of mind' if you were to fall into crisis.]

[The Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion granted your request.]

[While she could not intervene personally, she informed the White Emperor and provided a means to help you achieve clarity of mind.]

[Thus, on the precipice of life and death, the White Emperor intervenes!]

In the real world, Su Xing wakes up in a cold sweat.

"Close call... this self-loathing decay is truly terrifying, even with my Dao Heart, I nearly committed suicide!"

"Tsk tsk... after consuming the self-loathing water, the difficulty of self-loathing decay has probably increased severalfold!"

"But with the increased difficulty, the benefits will also increase severalfold!"

"As long as I successfully transcend the self-loathing decay, my Dao Heart will become unprecedentedly firm!"

Su Xing takes a deep breath and nervously looks at the simulation panel.

[With the white light entering your body, you feel your desires rekindled!]

[Cultivation, to achieve eternal life, is not meaningless!]

[Since there is fate in Heaven and Earth, why not break this fate?]

[The suffering of the six realms of reincarnation? The pain of aging, sickness, and decline?]

[The pursuit of cultivators is not only freedom and eternal life... it is also about achieving a clear mind, to do what your heart desires!]

[... ]

[With the rekindling of desire, your Dao Heart solidifies once more.]

[Once again, you confront the self-loathing emotions within your body.]

[Thus, you alternate daily between the yearning for cultivation and your own self-loathing, a state of desirelessness.]

[In the blink of an eye, the final thirty years pass...]

[As the five hundred-year deadline arrives, you finally transcend the last of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man, the self-loathing decay!]

[Congratulations, you have successfully transcended the self-loathing decay!]

[Your emotions are fuller than ever before, your Dao Heart has never been more resolute.]

[At the same time, you feel the rumble of thunder in the sky.]

[Finally, the Taiyi Thunder Calamity, is about to begin!]

In the real world, Su Xing sees this and takes a deep breath.

"It's finally here!"

"The Taiyi Thunder Calamity... once I transcend this calamity, I will achieve Taiyi Golden Immortal!"

Su Xing recalls the information about the Taiyi Thunder Calamity in his mind.

The Taiyi Thunder Calamity typically lasts for three years.

It involves nine stages of thunder tribulation, totaling eight thousand one hundred bolts!

If successfully transcended, one can be free from the suffering of physical decline until the very end of their lifespan, maintaining their peak state.

"Once I become a Taiyi Golden Immortal, my combat power will approach the late-stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal!"

"And I can't waste the nine stages of thunder tribulation... it's a perfect opportunity to push my Thunder Dao to the sixth realm!"

Without hesitation, Su Xing silently recites:

"Initiate immersive simulation, duration 10 years!"

[Ding... Remaining Primordial Energy: 462,960,734 points...]

With the prompt, Su Xing's consciousness enters the simulated world.

...

Heavenly Mechanism Realm, outside Heavenly Mechanism City.

Su Xing ascends a mountain peak, sensing the brewing thunder calamity in the sky, a sense of anticipation fills his heart.

As dark clouds gather, thunder begins to condense.

Su Xing also feels countless gazes directed towards his location.

After all, a Taiyi Golden Immortal transcending a tribulation!

Such a magnificent sight, one might not witness it even in a million years!

If those observing the tribulation gain inspiration, it might benefit their own cultivation.

"Taiyi Thunder Calamity, then let it come!"

Su Xing's eyes flash with intense confidence, his state is currently at its peak after having just transcended the Five Decays of Heaven and Man.

Coupled with the solidity of Su Xing's foundation, transcending this tribulation is a certainty!

Finally, under the watchful eyes of countless beings, the first bolt of the Heavenly Dao's wrath... strikes down!

The terrifying thunder directly targets Su Xing's celestial acupoint.

Su Xing doesn't employ any defenses, he simply uses his physical body to withstand the strike!

Boom!

The thunder dissipates in an instant, transforming into wisps of faint thunder Dao essence, beginning to refine Su Xing's physical body.

"Hmm? The power of this tribulation..."

Su Xing furrows his brow slightly, the intensity of this thunder seems a little off!

"It seems stronger than I anticipated for a Taiyi Thunder Calamity..."

"However, it's still within my grasp!"

Su Xing is slightly puzzled but doesn't dwell on it, focusing on confronting the next bolt of thunder.

Soon, bolt after bolt of thick thunder descends, causing the sky to change color, leaving those who came to observe in awe.

One... ten... a hundred... a thousand!

In the blink of an eye, three months pass!

Su Xing has already withstood one thousand and eight bolts of thunder with his physical body.

As time progresses, the intensity of the thunder gradually increases.

Su Xing allows the thunder to refine his physical body, sensing the benefits brought by the thunder Dao essence.

In just three months, Su Xing's Thunder Dao has reached the peak of the fifth realm!

And at this moment, Su Xing is finally certain that the nine stages of the Taiyi Golden Immortal tribulation are indeed unusual!

"Tsk tsk, if the nine stages truly had this much power, I'm afraid nine out of ten Golden Immortals in the world would fall to this tribulation!"

Su Xing blinks, then sends a subtle signal towards the thunder calamity and dark clouds in the sky...

Sure enough, in response to Su Xing's probe, the thunder calamity and dark clouds in the sky pause for a fleeting moment.

Then, Su Xing seems to sense a familiar emotion of "frustration" within the tribulation!

"Indeed, is it the Heavenly Dao that has arrived?"

"Damn it... is it here to complain?"

Su Xing scoffs, during his Golden Immortal tribulation, he had provoked the thunder tribulation and the Heavenly Dao.

At that time, the Heavenly Dao had used all its might, but ultimately failed to harm Su Xing in the slightest, allowing Su Xing to completely solidify the "Heavenly Thunder Sacred Body" through the tribulation!

The Heavenly Dao had essentially been utilized by Su Xing then, and thus felt some resentment.

However, limited by the power of the Golden Immortal tribulation, even if the Heavenly Dao wanted to increase the intensity, the "rules" wouldn't allow it.

After all, it's impossible to use the power of a Taiyi Thunder Calamity to strike a peak Xuan Immortal cultivator.

And now, the Heavenly Dao is clearly being petty, seeking to get revenge on Su Xing!

Therefore, the power of the Taiyi Thunder Calamity is more than double that of a normal Taiyi Thunder Calamity!

"Tsk tsk... although the intensity is beyond expectations... but this tribulation is a good thing!"

Su Xing narrows his eyes, he can even feel that under the refining of the thunder, the bottleneck at the peak of the sixth layer of the Great Witch Body Tempering Art has loosened slightly.

The Qi and Blood that haven't increased for half a year seems to have grown a little...

"Tsk tsk, thunder refinement, the most yang and sturdy substance in the world... it's greatly beneficial for me to break through to the sixth layer of the Great Witch Body Tempering Art!"

"If I completely absorb this nine-stage thunder calamity... perhaps I won't be far from entering the seventh layer of the Great Witch Body Tempering Art!"

Su Xing's mind stirs, he has a plan.

Since he's going to utilize the Heavenly Dao and the thunder tribulation, he might as well do it thoroughly!

Su Xing not only wants to push his Thunder Dao to the sixth realm but also wants to make his physical body stronger.

To make it easier and smoother for him to break through to the seventh layer of the Great Witch Body Tempering Art in the future!

"Then, let the thunder tribulation come even more violently!"

Su Xing's lips curl into a smile, and he shows a provocative expression towards the thunder calamity in the sky.

Sure enough, the invisible Heavenly Dao is provoked by Su Xing.

Like a child who has been wronged, it unleashes an even more intense thunderous assault on Su Xing!

Ten... a hundred... a thousand!

In just two months, Su Xing has again endured a thousand bolts of thunder!

And the intensity of the thunder is several times stronger than before!

"Tsk tsk... the intensity of this tribulation is starting to get interesting!"

"However, that's all it has..."

Su Xing closes his eyes slightly, able to feel the damage caused by the thunder striking his body.

Almost every bolt of thunder causes minor injuries to Su Xing's physical body.

But under Su Xing's terrifying vitality and recovery ability, he quickly recovers...

"Is the intensity of each bolt of thunder equivalent to a full-strength attack from a peak Golden Immortal?"

"Tsk tsk... it's truly formidable!"

"If it were an ordinary Golden Immortal transcending a tribulation, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to withstand a hundred bolts before being forced to stop the tribulation, right?"

Su Xing thinks to himself.

But how could he be an ordinary Golden Immortal?

Even if this Taiyi Thunder Calamity is terrifying, Su Xing hasn't even used his defensive abilities yet!

Up until now, Su Xing has simply been relying on his physical body to withstand the blows!

The benefits of physically enduring the Taiyi Thunder Calamity are visible!

Su Xing's comprehension of the Thunder Dao is getting closer and closer to the sixth realm.

His physical body and Qi and Blood, which had been stagnant, are now three times stronger than before the tribulation!

Thus, under the continuous barrage of thunder, another three months pass!

In the eighth month of Su Xing's tribulation, he has already endured three thousand six hundred bolts of thunder!

And the intensity of the thunder is still increasing...

It has faintly reached the level of the offensive power of the top cultivators on the Earth Rankings of the Genius Ranking!

And Su Xing is no longer purely relying on his physical body to resist.

After changing his strategy, Su Xing sometimes physically endures the thunder, sometimes uses his Yuan Qi to isolate the destructive power of the thunder, focusing on absorbing the Thunder Dao within.

This way, the effect of Su Xing's body being refined by thunder might be slightly weaker.

But Su Xing will have a greater chance of transcending all the bolts of thunder, and his comprehension of the Thunder Dao will not weaken.

After all, this Heavenly Dao is quite malicious!

The tribulation is only a third of the way through... who knows how much more trouble it will cause!

Su Xing stands there, enduring bolt after bolt of thunder.

And the previously towering mountain peak, under eight months of relentless thunder, has been reduced to a flat plain.

...

Meanwhile, within a radius of ten thousand miles of Su Xing's tribulation location.

Countless cultivators are watching Su Xing's tribulation.

"Tsk tsk... terrifying! Truly terrifying!"

"Is this the power of the Taiyi Thunder Calamity? I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to survive even a single bolt!"

A Golden Immortal cultivator, witnessing Su Xing's tribulation, can't help but feel a sense of envy... and even a hint of fear!

"Something's wrong, something's wrong! This doesn't seem like the power of a Taiyi Thunder Calamity!"

"If I had encountered this intensity during my tribulation... my grave would probably be overgrown with three-foot-tall grass!"

Some high-level Taiyi Golden Immortals, observing the intensity of Su Xing's tribulation, vaguely sense something amiss.

Su Xing has been transcending the tribulation for eight months, and the intensity of the thunder is even higher than the last few bolts he experienced during his own tribulation...

At this moment, within a radius of ten thousand miles of Su Xing's tribulation, over a million cultivators are observing from afar.

Many cultivators have gained some insights from the thunder tribulation.

"Tsk tsk... a successor indeed!"

"This thunder tribulation is probably of the highest quality!"

"This young man's aptitude is truly unprecedented!"

Taiyi Golden Immortal Xiao Zhanlong, watching the thunder tribulation that Su Xing is undergoing, also feels somewhat inadequate.

As an old-guard Taiyi Golden Immortal, ranked among the top twenty on the Genius Ranking, Xiao Zhanlong is also a little uncertain.

So, he turns to the man in white beside him and tentatively asks:

"Senior White Emperor... what do you think of this young man's thunder tribulation?"

The White Emperor's expression, however, is not as relaxed as the surrounding cultivators.

Instead, he has a look of disbelief.

As a Great Luo Immortal who has lived for over ten million years, the White Emperor's sword intent naturally far surpasses that of these ordinary cultivators.

He looks at the thunder tribulation that Su Xing is undergoing with uncertainty and mutters:

"Damn it, is this young man's aptitude really that high?"

"Has he even attracted the Nine Transformations Thunder Calamity?"

(End of Chapter)

Chapter 468: Reversing Causality, Will the Nine Transformations Thunder Calamity End? Unexpected Changes Arise!

Even the esteemed Great Luo Immortal, the White Emperor, reveals a look of shock.

"This old man possesses a supreme spiritual root, born with an innate sword body and an ancient sword heart... my fortune is inexhaustible, and my comprehension of the Dao is as easy as eating and drinking."

"A perfect Golden Core, a supreme foundation, eventually transcending the tribulation to become an immortal... my path has been one of perfect foundations!"

"Yet, even so, during the Taiyi Golden Immortal tribulation... it was only a seven-transformation tribulation cloud!"

Looking at Su Xing's figure transcending the tribulation in the distance, the White Emperor's tone is complex:

"In tens of millions of years, among all those I've encountered... the one with the highest aptitude was the Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion!"

"But even so, according to her, the tribulation she faced was only an eight-transformation tribulation..."

"And the eight-transformation tribulation, in ancient times, was already the sign of a Saintly talent!"

"A nine-transformation tribulation, unheard of... it's either a sign of Heavenly Abhorrence or a natural Saintly aptitude!"

Pausing for a moment, the White Emperor observes Su Xing from afar, saying:

"But I see that this young man's fortune is extraordinary, not much different from mine..."

"He doesn't seem to be someone Heavenly Dao abhors at all!"

"Could it be... that this young man's aptitude truly surpasses the heavens?"

The more the White Emperor observes, the more unusual it seems, and his heart is uncertain.

"However, this nine-transformation tribulation is terrifyingly powerful... I wonder if this young man can safely transcend it!"

"It's a pity... there's not much time left in this world, and this young man, with such high aptitude, doesn't have much time to grow!"

The White Emperor's gaze towards Su Xing becomes increasingly complex, ultimately turning into a long sigh.

"Alas~ a pity! A tragedy!"

...

On the other side, Su Xing, who is amidst the tribulation, doesn't pay attention to others.

He focuses solely and wholeheartedly on dealing with the tribulation before him.

In the blink of an eye, another year and a half passes...

This is the third year of Su Xing's tribulation!

In over seven hundred days, the thunderbolts that have struck from the sky number eight thousand eight hundred!

This already exceeds the usual number of bolts in a Taiyi Thunder Calamity!

And the intensity of the thunderbolts in the sky is becoming more and more terrifying!

Right now, a single bolt of thunder is enough to instantly kill a peak Golden Immortal cultivator!

Perhaps only a true Taiyi Golden Immortal could withstand this tribulation!

Fortunately, Su Xing's Thunder Dao finally reached the sixth realm half a year ago!

After the Thunder Dao entered the sixth realm, Su Xing's defense against thunderbolts and thunder-related divine abilities increased significantly.

This is the reason why Su Xing has been able to persevere until now.

Even so, it's becoming increasingly difficult for Su Xing to cope!

With each bolt of thunder, Su Xing can no longer simply rely on his physical body to withstand it.

Otherwise, any bolt could severely injure him, even cause critical wounds.

Thankfully, the eight thousand one hundred Protective Sword Qi, with its terrifying defensive power, is now comparable to that of a newly-entered Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivator.

Coupled with Su Xing's physical body, it hasn't reached the point of collapse yet.

While confronting the tribulation, Su Xing mutters to himself:

"Damn it, is this thing exceeding the scope of the curriculum?"

"Bah... is this Heavenly Dao cheating?"

"I've already endured eight thousand one hundred bolts of thunder... why is it still continuing?"

Su Xing complains, but he still gives it his all, confronting the tribulation while absorbing as much benefit as possible for his cultivation.

With the nine thousandth bolt of thunder, Su Xing's physical body finally takes another step forward!

His progress towards the seventh layer of the Great Witch Body Tempering Art has reached nearly a third.

And Su Xing's physical strength is almost double what it was before the tribulation!

At the same time, Su Xing can feel that his physical recovery ability is increasing at an alarming rate.

With almost every bolt of thunder, Su Xing feels his recovery ability and Qi and Blood being strengthened!

As the tribulation intensifies, Su Xing... is also becoming stronger!

This is the reason why Su Xing can persevere until now!

"Wow, after I transcend this Taiyi Thunder Calamity, won't my Great Witch Body Tempering Art directly enter the seventh layer?"

"The seventh layer of the Great Witch Body Tempering Art, coupled with the cultivation of a Taiyi Golden Immortal... my combat power will probably be comparable to a late-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal!"

"At that time, it won't be as simple as being ranked sixtieth or seventieth on the Genius Ranking..."

"Maybe even reaching the top fifty won't be impossible!"

Su Xing's eyes are filled with longing.

Right now, the more intense the thunder, the more solid Su Xing's foundation will become!

...

Thus, in full view of everyone, the number of thunderbolts continues to rise, and the intensity of the tribulation also gradually increases!

The nine thousandth... the nine thousand one hundredth...

Nine thousand five hundred... nine thousand eight hundred bolts of thunder!

Nine thousand nine hundred bolts of thunder!

In the blink of an eye, another half a year passes!

The three-year deadline for the tribulation is drawing closer...

At this moment, the intensity of the tribulation has reached a terrifying level.

Initially, some cultivators above the Golden Immortal realm dared to observe the tribulation within a thousand miles of Su Xing's location.

But now, even some Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivators have had to move ten thousand miles away to watch Su Xing's tribulation.

Because the intensity of the thunderbolts is now enough to severely injure an early-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivator!

Each bolt of thunder is equivalent to a full-strength attack from an early-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal!

And Su Xing has already endured hundreds of such attacks!

Even now, even Su Xing feels a hint of fatigue.

For nearly three years, he has been in a state of constant tension, always prepared to deal with the terrifying thunder.

This is only possible for Su Xing; any other cultivator who has ever transcended a Taiyi Thunder Calamity would have long since given up...

"Thunder tribulation, with nine as the peak... the final number of thunderbolts should not exceed ten thousand."

"So, there are only ninety-nine bolts of thunder left..."

Su Xing takes a deep breath, continues to withstand the pressure, and endures the tribulation.

The nine thousand nine hundred and first bolt of thunder strikes!

Su Xing reverses the power of Yin and Yang, black and white engulf the sky, forming a giant八卦 (Bagua) shaped disc, protecting him within.

This is a divine ability Su Xing has mastered in the past half a year.

Combining the power of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, supplemented by array formations, to achieve the effect of reversing Yin and Yang and weakening the attack.

Su Xing names this divine ability Yin-Yang Heavenly Reversal!

In an instant, the intensity of the thunderbolts in the sky is reduced by more than ninety percent.

At the same time, the Yin-Yang Heavenly Reversal that Su Xing releases becomes slightly transparent.

The remaining ten percent of the thunder's intensity, striking Su Xing's body, is naturally insignificant.

Thus, under the effect of the Yin-Yang Heavenly Reversal divine ability, Su Xing successfully transcends ten bolts of thunder!

But after ten bolts, the Yin-Yang Heavenly Reversal shatters, and Su Xing's comprehension of Yin and Yang Dao is completely depleted.

The thunderbolts in the sky continue to brew.

Without hesitation, Su Xing unleashes his next trump card.

Protective Sword Qi!

Eight thousand one hundred bolts of Protective Sword Qi rapidly solidify around Su Xing's body.

They erupt with even more terrifying defensive power than before!

Su Xing calls this state Sword Qi Fusion!

In this state, the Protective Sword Qi's defensive power increases severalfold.

But the consumption also increases tens of times!

Just moments after activating it, Su Xing feels his Yuan Qi drain like a torrent.

The Yuan Qi consumption is a minor issue, as the Yuan Qi Tree within his body constantly replenishes it.

The real problem is that Su Xing's comprehension of the Sword Dao is also rapidly diminishing.

Ultimately...

Relying on the Protective Sword Qi, Su Xing withstands forty bolts of thunder!

By now, the tribulation has reached nine thousand nine hundred and fifty bolts.

Only forty-nine bolts remain before completely transcending the Taiyi Thunder Calamity.

"Whew... Five Elements Explosive Technique, come on!"

Su Xing takes a deep breath, and dazzling multicolored light reverses around him.

Earth Dao!

The mountain peak, previously reduced to a plain by the thunder, rises again, soaring ten thousand zhang high like a lift...

Finally, a thirty-thousand-zhang mountain peak rises from the ground!

Su Xing stands atop the peak, feeling the strengthening provided by the Earth.

Wood Dao!

On the mountain peak, towering trees grow like fortresses, protecting Su Xing within.

Water Dao!

The area within a million miles of Su Xing's tribulation location, the Yangtze River, other major rivers, streams, and the sea... all start to churn at the same time!

Then, those rivers and seas, like the Milky Way in the sky, flow from tens of thousands of miles away.

They gather in the sky, forming a complete defensive curtain.

Using his own strength to activate the water sources within a million miles!

Next, Fire Dao, Metal Dao...

In the blink of an eye, all five elements are unleashed!

This is another application of the Five Elements Explosive Technique that Su Xing has comprehended in the past half a year!

Five Elements techniques can converge at a single point, unleashing infinite power, suitable for single-target elimination.

But what Su Xing is currently demonstrating is to use the power of Heaven and Earth to execute his own will.

Not only is the range expanded, but it's also a divine ability that combines offense and defense.

Right now, Su Xing's opponent is not just Su Xing himself.

It's the Heaven and Earth within a million miles, the Five Elements Dao within a million miles!

After mastering this divine ability, the Five Elements Explosive Technique can be used offensively and defensively, with ease and control!

Su Xing, using his sixth-realm Five Elements Dao and the complete form of the Five Elements Explosive Technique, confronts the thunderbolts from the sky!

One... ten... thirty!

In the blink of an eye, another forty-plus bolts of thunder are endured by Su Xing!

Now, only nine bolts of thunder remain before completely transcending the nine-transformation tribulation...

Su Xing looks up at the sky, seemingly sensing a hint of "anger" in the thunderbolts.

"Haha... is it getting frustrated?"

Su Xing finds it somewhat amusing.

This Five Elements Explosive Technique, using the power of Heaven and Earth, leveraging the Five Elements Dao.

In common understanding, Su Xing is borrowing the power of nature and the Dao!

In other words... Su Xing is currently using the Heavenly Dao's power to counter the Heavenly Dao's thunder tribulation!

How could the Heavenly Dao not be angry?

...

Thus, after Su Xing's repeated provocations, the intensity of the tribulation becomes even more terrifying.

In the distance, the White Emperor looks at the long-brewing nine-transformation thunder tribulation in the sky and murmurs:

"The real test... is just beginning!"

"The nine-transformation thunder tribulation, how terrifying is its power?"

"The last nine bolts are the most difficult... even a mid-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal would be severely injured if they tried to withstand them directly!"

"This child, though incredibly talented... is still only a peak Golden Immortal, can he endure it?"

The White Emperor feels a little anxious, looking at the nine-transformation thunder tribulation, as if he were the one transcending it himself.

He knows better than anyone that if one transcends this nine-transformation tribulation!

Then, they will truly be like a dragon entering the sea... their future limitless!

Becoming a Great Luo Immortal is only a matter of time!

This is a true Saintly talent!

"So... are you the one that Heavenly Mechanism has been waiting for..." the White Emperor mutters.

...

On the other side, atop the high peak, Su Xing stands unmoving.

Three years, transcending nine thousand nine hundred and ninety bolts of thunder.

Su Xing's trump cards are essentially exhausted!

And during the Five Decays of Heaven and Man, the "Time Stop" and "One More Time" talents have already been used.

"From now on, it's time to truly fight for my life!"

Su Xing takes a deep breath, and his Spirit Realm instantly unfolds!

In the simulations, the insights gained over countless years, the ten-thousand-mile Spirit Realm, make everything around him seem to be within Su Xing's grasp!

But this isn't enough!

Ultimate Compression!

Su Xing compresses the ten-thousand-mile Spirit Realm back to ten thousand miles, then to a thousand miles, a hundred miles!

Finally, within a ten-mile radius of Su Xing, his comprehension of the Dao, divine abilities, and techniques is enhanced severalfold!

"Heaven has reincarnation, good and evil are known to Heaven... the power of causality, reverse it for me!"

Su Xing takes a deep breath, and his comprehension of the Causality and Destiny Dao pours out at this moment!

Su Xing will use his sixth-realm Causality power to reverse his depleted Dao comprehension!

In an instant, Sword Dao, Five Elements Dao, Space Dao...

The Dao comprehension that Su Xing has exhausted is recovering at an astonishing rate!

At the same time, Su Xing's lifespan is rapidly burning!

Consuming millions of years of lifespan, Su Xing's Dao comprehension is fully restored!

"Damn it, if it weren't for the Eternal Undying Body... I wouldn't dare use this move!"

Su Xing grits his teeth, feeling the recovery of his Dao comprehension within his body.

He perceives the reversal of causality!

Reversing the causality of Dao comprehension! From nothing to everything!

The cost of this isn't just a few million years of lifespan...

Su Xing also vaguely senses that he has paid other costs!

"But, it doesn't matter! As long as I transcend this Taiyi Thunder Calamity, everything will be fine!"

Su Xing murmurs, his gaze fixed on the thunder brewing in the sky, filled with boundless confidence!

This is Su Xing's strongest state yet!

Next, he can only withstand the final nine bolts of thunder!

Without waiting too long, the first bolt of thunder strikes again!

Seeing this, Su Xing roars, his entire body rises several zhang, and a ten-thousand-zhang tall phantom appears behind him!

Great Witch Phantom!

The Great Witch Phantom, which had always had its eyes closed, also opens its eyes at this moment!

Crimson eyes, filled with killing intent and boundless aura!

Staring at the thunderbolts in the sky, there's a sense of detachment and disdain!

This is the fusion of the Killing Dao and Su Xing's Great Witch power!

Right now, Su Xing's physical body has reached its peak!

What does the offensive power of a mid-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal matter?

One... two... three!

Su Xing withstands six bolts of thunder in a row!

Only three bolts of the nine-transformation tribulation remain!

"Whew... I still have some strength left!"

"I'm going to transcend this nine-transformation tribulation!"

Su Xing's eyes are filled with confidence, the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal seems to be beckoning him!

However, just when Su Xing thinks that... the nine-transformation tribulation is about to be successfully transcended!

Unexpected changes arise!

In the area where Su Xing is transcending the tribulation, within a radius of ten thousand miles, black miasma begins to appear in the sky simultaneously!

At the same time, red like a great river appears in the high sky of the Heavenly Mechanism Domain.

One... ten...

A dozen or more crimson rivers appear!

In the Heavenly Mechanism Realm, spatial cracks appear!

A sense of alien race energy pours in!

The Descent Sect, the alien races... they have launched a full-scale attack on the Heavenly Mechanism Realm at this very moment!

"Damn it! I've lived for tens of millions of years, and this is the first time I've seen a nine-transformation thunder tribulation!"

"What is this kid's background?! He also possesses the inheritance of the ancient Witch Clan... could he be from the lineage that was wiped out?"

A figure clad in black appears in the sky, cursing loudly.

A high-ranking member of the Descent Sect, Blood Three!

"Don't hesitate! This kid's aptitude is unprecedented in my lifetime, we must not allow him to grow!"

"In this battle, we must kill him... otherwise, our efforts in the Heavenly Mechanism Realm for a thousand years will be in vain!"

Another dark figure appears, his gaze fixed on the White Emperor in the distance.

A high-ranking member of the Descent Sect, Blood Two!

Besides them, Blood Four, Blood Five, who Su Xing hasn't killed yet...

Over ten Golden Immortals, several Taiyi Golden Immortals, and a Great Luo Immortal!

And even a few Level 1 Divine Beings appear in the Heavenly Mechanism Realm at the same time.

And they have only one goal!

To stop Su Xing from transcending the tribulation...
