Chapter 1469 The Origin of the Three Taboo Tribulations

The white cicada maiden was furious, and her stunningly beautiful face was contorted with a menacing, ice-cold look.0

She was only one step away from passing through the entire Ten Thousand Tribulation Purgatory. She believed that the great opportunity would definitely fall into her hands with the help of the golden cicada youth. 0

Who would have thought that the great opportunity would be taken away!?0

“I’ve been here with you for endless years, and you’re going to treat me like this?” roared the white cicada maiden out of anger. 0

She called herself the White Emperor, and she had always longed to become an Emperor. But after endless years of waiting, her hopes were dashed. 0

How could she accept that?0

She knew that the golden cicada youth could hear her. 0

“I already told you that the great opportunity does not belong to you. I brought you here this time to prove this point to you so that you will not become obsessed with it.” Sure enough, the golden cicada youth sighed. “A’Bai, if you still trust me like you did before, then when we leave here, I will search for an emperor opportunity for you.”0

The white cicada maiden gnashed her teeth, quivering with anger. “The next emperor opportunity? Don’t tell me I need to endure endless years again.”0

“No, it will be soon.” The golden cicada youth’s voice was firm and unwavering. “The present great age is completely different from the past.”0

The white cicada maiden was silent for a long moment as she could just barely control the feelings of anger and disappointment swirling in her heart. She then responded coldly, “From today on, until I become an Emperor, you are not allowed to call me A’Bai again!”0

The golden cicada youth also stood in silence in the Ten Thousand Tribulation Palace. Finally, he let out a soft sigh and said nothing else.0

……0

Lin Xun was completely unaware of all the things that were happening.0

He concentrated on dealing with the Taboo Dao Tribulation with all his strength.0

Although he knew that the majority of the power of the tribulation had been shared by the other Quasi-Emperors, he still did not dare to be careless.0

𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Unlike the tribulation of cultivation, the Taboo Dao Tribulation had no benefits on Lin Xun’s own cultivation even if he overcame it.0

But as long as he survived the tribulation, he could continue to practice the three paths to the Absolute Apex. He could continue to explore the three paths of qi cultivation, spirit cultivation and physical cultivation together, and set foot onto the Supreme Saint Path. 0

This was what he desired.0

However, to the Quasi-Emperors distributed in different secret realms of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Purgatory, the tribulation was like a sudden disaster befallen on them. It turned their faces as dark as the bottom of a pot, and it was unknown how many times they had cursed at Lin Xun and his ancestors. 0

It was beyond frustrating for them. 1

They would not be so furious if they were schemed by an opponent of their level, but the feeling after being used by someone they regarded as an insignificant ant was awful. 0

“Don’t let me catch you!” Ancestor Blood Lotus’ eyes were about to spit fire. 0

“Damn it!”0

Even some Quasi-Emperors with better tempers and tougher minds could not help but curse out loud. 0

“How come that kid is jumping around like that? Why won’t the Taboo Dao Tribulation eradicate him?”0

Wu Jiuzhong, Gou Tianxing and the others were all exasperated.0

In truth, the biggest reason for their anger was not being used by Lin Xun, but that in the critical juncture, they had missed out on the great opportunity to become an Emperor!0

This was the root cause of their hatred and bitterness.0

However, they all attributed the reason to Lin Xun. If Lin Xun had not suddenly triggered the Taboo Dao Tribulation, forcing them to fight against it, the great opportunity would not have slipped out of their hands!1

Eventually, the Taboo Dao Tribulation disappeared–resolved without any danger.0

No accident happened. 0

It would be more abnormal if they could not overcome the tribulation that happened in a special and mysterious world like the Ten Thousand Tribulation Purgatory, and also with a group of Quasi-Emperors shouldering the power of the tribulation together. 0

However, before the Quasi-Emperors could breathe a sigh of relief, they noticed that the huge rift in the sky had not disappeared.0

The crack was filled with a taboo destructive aura that was a hundred times or even a thousand times more terrifying than before!0

Even though they possessed a cultivation base of the Quasi-Emperor stage, they still trembled inwardly and their hairs stood on end. 0

“That…”0

“Sever Dao Tribulation!”0

“It’s actually true. The great opportunity has been taken...”0

All the Quasi-Emperors’ faces turned livid and their expressions drastically changed. They felt as if an army of horses was galloping across their chests and almost coughed up blood in rage. 0

The Sever Dao Tribulation was the most terrifying tribulation that every Saint expert would have to face before becoming an Emperor. 0

Since ancient times, countless remarkably talented experts had come to a standstill at that obstacle and had no chance of becoming an Emperor!0

Although the Quasi-Emperor stage was above the Saint Stage, it was, ultimately, still between the Saint Stage and the Emperor Stage, and Quasi-Emperor stage experts still had to face the Sever Dao Tribulation to become emperors. 0

Moreover, if the Quasi-Emperors guessed correctly, just like the previous Taboo Dao Tribulation, they likely would also have to shoulder the power of the Sever Dao Tribulation. 0

Suddenly, they felt like crying. They had been cheated! They had done the work for others and benefited nothing!0

They were already depressed and resentful after missing out on the great opportunity, but now, they had to share the danger of fighting against the tribulation. This...0

…was beyond frustrating!0

“I have waited for so long. It is finally here...”0

Meanwhile, Zhao Yuanji’s purple robe whipped around him, and his face had a look of pure delight. He knew that as long as he overcame the tribulation, no other obstacles would stop him from becoming an Emperor. 0

“Little friend, come back.”0

In the Ten Thousand Tribulation Palace, the golden cicada youth reached his hand into the bowl that was the Ten Thousand Tribulation Transformed World. 0

Buzz—

0

With a strange ripple, Lin Xun returned to the palace hall. 0

He looked dazed.0

Even now, he still could not believe that he had actually survived the Taboo Dao Tribulation. It wasn’t that it was too easy, but that it was too unbelievable.3

The corners of the golden cicada youth’s lips curled in a strange smile, as if he guessed what Lin Xun was thinking. He thought to himself. “If you knew how those Quasi-Emperors had scolded and cursed at you, then you would know how difficult it would be to overcome the tribulation…”0

After a while, Lin Xun came back to his senses and gave a cupped fist salute. “Elder, thank you for your guidance.”0

He knew that he would not have survived the Taboo Dao Tribulation in such an unbelievable way if not for the guidance of the golden cicada youth. 0

The golden cicada youth smiled. “Even if I did not give you any guidance, Zhao Yuanji would have helped you fight for this opportunity. I was just pushing the boat along with the current, which helped you, Zhao Yuanji, and also myself.”0

Lin Xun looked at him blankly. 0

The golden cicada youth pointed to the bowl of the Ten Thousand Tribulation Transformed World. “Take a look, Zhao Yuanji has obtained the great opportunity, and he has attracted the hostility of the Sever Dao Tribulation. It wants to eliminate him, but just like when you were faced with your tribulation, when Zhao Yuanji challenges the tribulation, the other Quasi-Emperors will also be forced to help him.”0

Lin Xun’s expression changed. He had become a spectator and had a panoramic view of everything that was happening in the Ten Thousand Tribulation Purgatory.0

He also noticed that, whether it was Ancestor Blood Lotus, Thousand Feather Sword Flower, Wu Jiuzhong, Gou Tianxing or the others, all of them did not look too good and were roaring and cursing in fury.0

They did not look like a group of Quasi-Emperors, but instead a group of women who were kicking up a fuss on the street. It was an eye opener for Lin Xun, and he couldn’t help but laugh.0

However, when he saw the Sever Dao Tribulation that was triggered by Zhao Yuanji, the smile on his face faded, replaced by a shocked, terrified look. 0

A huge crack had split the sky, and a Sever Dao Spear was taking shape, imbued with a frightening taboo destructive power that could wipe out heaven and earth. 1

Lin Xun was certain that he had seen such a tribulation before.0

Back when he was in the temple at the bottom of the Underworld River, he had witnessed Saint Monk Duji and the Black Phoenix Saint Queen challenge the tribulation. 0

Back then, under the bodhi tree, the two mighty sages together created the Great Treasury Silent Scripture after years of deducing, understanding, and exchange. 0

At that time, Saint Monk Duji once said that he had seen a higher realm. “If I were a demon, I would save all the Buddhas in the world from becoming demons.”0

But then, he added, “If I were a Buddha, there would be no demons in the world!”0

Then, a taboo tribulation struck down.0

The tribulation transformed into a taboo battle spear and slashed down with terrifying killing intent. Then, a golden figure emerged in the huge crack that split the sky, like the ruler of earth descending upon the world!0

In the end, both Saint Monk Duji and the Black Phoenix Saint Queen met with disaster…0

Lin Xun still remembered that the Black Phoenix Saint Queen said to Saint Monk Duji, “When we took that step, our fate was already decided. It was the same with all the past sages!” 0

Now, when Lin Xun saw the Sever Dao Tribulation targeting Zhao Yuanji, he was finally sure of one thing: The great disaster that brought an end to Saint Monk Duji and the Black Phoenix Saint Queen was the Sever Dao Tribulation!0

“It turns out that the two elders were already at the Quasi-Emperor stage when they created the Great Treasury Silent Scripture...”0

Lin Xun’s heart tumbled in his chest. 0

“Look, that’s the true face of the Sever Dao Tribulation.” The golden cicada youth’s eyes glowed with a frightening light. 0

Lin Xun looked up, and his hair immediately stood on end. The golden majestic figure appeared once again within the tribulation that Zhao Yuanji and the others were facing. 0

The golden figure looked thin, yet it gave an infinitely tall feeling. It seemed to envelop heaven and earth, and suppressed heaven's law like it was the sole ruler of the world. 0

In the grip of his hand was a golden halberd filled with the aura of destruction!0

Even just one glance was enough to make the blood in Lin Xun’s veins curdle, his spirit on the verge of breakdown, and his heart flood with the feeling of fear. 0

It’s him!

0

That was the culprit who had caused Saint Monk Duanji and the Black Phoenix Saint Queen to fail the tribulation!0

“Elder, that...is that a creature transformed from the Sever Dao Tribulation?” Lin Xun asked in a whisper, forcibly suppressing the fear in his heart. 0

The golden cicada youth shook his head. “It should be said that the creature is just a manifestation of will law power, and this power comes from an extremely powerful existence.0

“You must have wondered before why the Ancient Wasteland Domain would be shrouded in the power of three taboo tribulations after the primeval era. It’s simple. The three taboo tribulations come from the owner of this will law power.”0

Lin Xun trembled, and he almost couldn’t believe his ears.0

The three taboo tribulations, Taboo Dao, Confinement Barrier and Sever Dao, which have affected the Ancient Wasteland Domain since the primeval era, were actually the doings of one person?1

Who could it be?4

How strong must one be to turn their own will law power into three taboo tribulations and envelop the entire Ancient Wasteland Domain with it?0

It was precisely because of that power that, since ancient times, countless cultivators were no longer able to practice the three cultivation paths at the same time.0

It was that power that eliminated all the Saints in the Ancient Wasteland Domain before they became emperors.0

It was that power that trapped hundreds of millions of living beings in the Ancient Wasteland Domain like a cage and made them lose the opportunity to explore the outside world.0

That power was beyond terrifying!
