Chapter 1677: Swallow the Tribulation

The tribulation lightning grew increasingly intense and threatening. The vast sky had long become leaden as if plunged into eternal darkness.

Many cultivators were about to break down from the tribulation aura suffocating their minds.

If possible, Wu Hengtian and all Golden Crow Clan members certainly hoped that the unparalleled tribulation would eliminate Lin Xun for them!

It was at that moment when Lin Xun suddenly made a move.

Everyone who was paying close attention was staggered to see Lin Xun act first before the tribulation descended.

Shua!

Lin Xun suddenly stretched and threw his head back to look at the sky. As his black hair fluttered in the air, a giant abyss appeared in his tall, slender figure.

It rose as if to swallow the sky!

Everyone was stupefied.

Is he going to devour the unparalleled great tribulation?

Even Wu Hengtian gasped audibly. He had been in this world for many years, but this was the first time he saw such a fearless and perhaps even crazy young man!

That was an earthshaking tribulation which had never been seen even in the ancient records. Even he, a top Big Saint, felt petrified in its presence.

But Lin Xun actually treated the lightning tribulation as prey and intended to devour it!

“He…”

Shaohao, Ruowu, Yue Jianming, Mi Hengzhen, and the others were all dumbstruck.

Isn’t Lin Xun too fierce?

This is no different than throwing away his life!

As for the Golden Crow Clan members, they all shared the same thought.

Is that guy insane?

Rumble!

Tribulation clouds raged and tribulation lightning raced across the sky, emitting the aura of supreme law and order, as if they were enraged.

But in Lin Xun’s eyes, the tremendous and unparalleled tribulation was no big deal!

In his mind, the wonderful truth about ‘big’ rushed up like a tide.

“The Big Saint Stage is founded on ‘big but immeasurable.’ Heaven and earth possess beauty that needs no words to describe; one should hold the immeasurable great dao in their heart.

“

This ‘big’ is not only confined to the depth of your cultivation, but it is also a measurement for your state of mind, vision, and experience. Only then can you embrace all streams of knowledge and let them all converge into one, and only through this can you break through to the point of ‘big but immeasurable’ in the Big Saint stage.

“The Big Saint stage is to understand the wondrous meaning of ‘My size is what I will, for I am infinite.

“If your heart is bigger than the heavens, then your power can overcome, cover, and overlook the heavens!

“Is it the Great Emperor Pass that has become smaller? No, it’s you that has become ‘bigger’!

“Big!

“Big!

“Big!”

Mister Shen’s deafening voice seemed to be still ringing in his ears, and all the scenes he saw in the Great Emperor Pass flashed across his mind.

At this moment, in Lin Xun’s eyes, the vast unparalleled lightning tribulation that had swathed the sky seemed tiny.

Had the lightning tribulation become smaller?

No!

But Lin Xun had comprehended the wonderful truth of ‘big.’ As he overcame the tribulation, his state of mind, strength, experience and his cultivation were all being transformed.

In simple terms, he had become ‘big’!

Boom!

At that moment, the phenomenon of the giant abyss swallowing up the sky seemed to become infinite and immeasurable.

Then—

Before the unparalleled tribulation could come, the power of the giant abyss completely devoured it!

It engulfed the sky and the sun!

Anyone who witnessed the scene were stupefied, eyes popping out and jaws dropping.

Did he really...really devour it?

Rumble!

The giant abyss whirled and reverberated with terrifying roars. Evidently, the tribulation that represented heavenly law refused to be eliminated in such an unbelievable way.

It struggled and resisted, determined to kill the heretic Lin Xun.

Lin Xun did not retreat but advanced instead. He suddenly leaped into the air and unleashed a loud roar. His figure seemed to have grown infinitely huge in an instant, exuding unrivaled courage and superior power.

The giant abyss that swallowed up the lightning tribulation immediately integrated into Lin Xun.

It was as though he had swallowed an unparalleled tribulation of the Supreme Big Saint Stage.

Unbelievable!

If this spread out, all cultivators in the Ancient Wasteland Domain would likely go crazy with astonishment. After all, such a scene was unheard of.

In the high altitude, Lin Xun glowed and produced unparalleled heat. Every one of his pores was oozing with splendid light. Waves of thunderous noise boomed out from him and echoed in all directions.

Undoubtedly, the terrifying power of the lightning tribulation was frantically colliding within him and had yet to be refined!

Toady, A’lu, and the others tensed up nervously.

They had never heard of something so unbelievable as swallowing an unparalleled tribulation into themselves.

They all knew that the slightest carelessness or mistake could lead to the tribulation exploding within Lin Xun. If that happened, he had absolutely no chance of surviving!

In the far distance, Wu Hengzhen’s eyes flashed murderous intent. He was ready to strike. This was the perfect opportunity.

But, he gave up in the end.

The reason for that was very simple. If Lin Xun died, then the power of tribulation in him would spread in all directions and anyone swept into it would suffer disastrous consequences. Wu Hengzhen could not afford to let that happen.

“Little bastard, if you can’t hold on then just give up on swallowing the tribulation and refining it. I’ve never seen anyone who wants to die like you!” Wu Hengtian shouted, trying to disturb Lin Xun.

Someone taunted, “So what if you are the Number One of the Nine Domains Battlefield? You will be struck to death by lighting in front of our Golden Crow Clan!”

“Lin Xun, I heard that you have many close female friends. After you die, we will help you take care of those poor women, hahaha.”

Some remarks were despicable and vulgar.

Countless voices rang out, all with the same intent: to ruin Lin Xun’s state of mind, disturb him, and cause him to die in the tribulation!

“Those old and young bastards are all despicable!” Toady cursed.

Shaohao, Ruowu, and the others all felt chills. That method was truly despicable and shameless!

Boom!

Suddenly, a ray of dazzling tribulation lightning shot out from Lin Xun who was high in the sky and transformed into a razor sharp ax and slashed down at an astonishing speed.

Unable to dodge in time, a Golden Crow Clan expert was killed on the spot. His body exploded to pieces and even his spirit was wiped out.

The casualty was precisely the guy who said something despicable and vulgar!

Everyone froze, aghast.

When they looked up at the sky, Lin Xun’s robe was fluttering around him, and his body was as flawless and pure as glass. Even if he was just standing there casually, he exuded the feeling of boundlessness.

He was majestic as a towering mountain, as vast as a boundless ocean!

He was clearly completely different from before. Whether it was his qi, power or bearing, it had a sense of immeasurable majesty.

It was the aura unique to the Big Saint Stage.

Moreover, it had the grace of the Supreme Big Saint Stage. The greatest view did not have a form. The Supreme True Saint Stage could not compare to it!

Did he successfully overcome the tribulation?

Wu Hengtian’s eyes bulged wide open, and he almost jumped up.

How is this possible?

Such an earth-shattering and unparalleled tribulation was swallowed up and refined like that?

Countless people were flabbergasted.

“Kill!”

Wu Hengzhen was the first to react and took action almost immediately.

A cultivator who just overcame a tribulation was at their weakest. If they waited until Lin Xun recovered, then there would be many unpredictable variables.

Armed with a spear, he teleported through the void. He looked ruthless and fierce.

Lin Xun curled a corner of his lips.

He flicked his sleeve.

Rumble!

The power of tribulation lightning that he devoured suddenly rushed forth like a river bursting its bank, turning into all sorts of forms, such as palaces, trees, mountains and rivers, all with lightning flickering and crackling within.

Wu Hengzhen’s face blanched.

That guy clearly has not refined the tribulation lightning power, but instead is controlling it and using it as his own!

With an ear-splitting rumble, Wu Hengzhen, unable to evade, was struck by the tribulation lightning. His whole body shook violently and his skin and flesh became scorched with wisps of smoke swirling up.

“Hahaha, roasted crow! I like it!” A’lu burst out laughing.

“Die!”

Wu Hengzhen bellowed. His spear shot out billions of threads of golden flame. Each one was hazy, but it emitted a terrifying incineration power.

“Just now I was just testing my skills; now I’m sending you to death!”

Lin Xun did not retreat but advanced instead. As he stepped forward, the giant abyss emerged and sent a storm of countless lightning engulfing the area.

All of a sudden, the sky was covered with raging lightning, as if the world had been transported back to when the tribulation first descended.

The only difference was that the tribulation lightning power was now completely controlled by Lin Xun.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Under those terrifying lightning strikes, Wu Hengzhen very quickly couldn’t hold on any longer. His skin cracked open, blood oozed out, and bones peeked through.

He roared in fury and launched multiple strikes.

But in the end it was all futile.

Even if he was at the pinnacle of the Big Saint Stage, how could he withstand the power of an unparalleled lightning tribulation?

It should be noted that this tribulation originally came for Lin Xun. It was far from ordinary. It involved the taboo supreme path and as such its power was beyond terrifying.

Let alone Wu Hengzhen, even a supreme Big Saint would struggle to withstand such heavenly law power.

In the end, Wu Hengzhen, sensing fatal danger, bolted without hesitation.

This battle was too frustrating.

His opponent was no longer Lin Xun, but an unparalleled tribulation. How could he possibly win?

“Die!”

But the moment he planned to flee, Lin Xun teleported across the void, and a giant abyss enveloped Wu Hengzhen’s entire body like a curtain of the sky.

“NO—!” Wu Hengzhen’s furious scream echoed, but with a deafening explosion, he was pulverized under the lightning and swallowed into the abyss. Both his spirit and body were wiped out.

He was an old monster about to embark on the Saint-King Stage, the strongest and most respected Big Saint expert in the Golden Crow Clan.

But he was killed like that!

Even before death, he could not struggle one bit!

For a moment, the world fell deathly silent. Everyone stood transfixed in stupefaction.

Wu Hengtian’s hands and feet went cold, and his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

The other Golden Crow Clan experts were all horrified, overwhelmed with terror. They never imagined that even someone like Wu Hengzhen would be reduced to ashes!

“Ruthless, Big Brother is so ruthless...I reckon that he had this all planned out. Otherwise, how could he play with an unparalleled tribulation so skillfully?” Toady smacked his lips.

Everyone else agreed. Anyone who had fought with Lin Xun in the Nine Domains Battlefield knew that he never fought unprepared!

The death of Wu Hengzhen was the best proof.

However, they were still stunned when they thought about Lin Xun’s unbelievable method of killing the enemy. It completely blew their minds.

Following the death of Wu Henghai, Wu Hengzhen was also killed!

And Lin Xun was only one victory away from rescuing the weapon spirit of No-Nonsense Bow!
