Chapter 2306 Illusory Mystery World Tribulation, Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer

Emperor Daoyuan had returned to the Ancient Nebula Underworld!

As Lin Xun prepared to break through, news of his return spread like a thunderclap, setting off shockwaves across the Ancient Nebula Underworld. Cultivators everywhere erupted into a frenzy.

Who could forget the moment when the Nirvana of Transcendence descended upon the world, drawing countless powerful beings from across the starry sky, only for Emperor Daoyuan to rise above them all?

Who could forget the legend of the only cultivator in a hundred thousand years to ascend to the Supreme Emperor Stage?

Three years ago, ancient sects and great clans scoured the starry sky in search of Emperor Daoyuan. Some sought revenge, while others coveted the unparalleled fortune on him.

However, from that moment on, Emperor Daoyuan vanished without a trace, leaving the world to wonder where he had gone.

Who would have thought that he would return to the Ancient Nebula Underworld three years later?!

The news swept through the world like wildfire, seizing the attention of countless cultivators.

Soon, reports of the massacre at the shores of Uncertain Blood Sea followed, further cementing Lin Xun’s name and legend.

Emperor Daoyuan singlehandedly slaughtered sixteen formidable Emperors from the Earth Treasury Realm and the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect.

The news shook everyone to the core.

“Is Emperor Daoyuan declaring war against the Earth Treasury Realm and the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect?”

Countless discussions erupted.

At present, the Ancient Nebula Underworld was dominated by two Dark Giants, the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect and the Earth Treasury Realm. As for the once powerful Copper Sparrow House, it had long fallen into decline following the disappearance of its Lord, and now was teetering on the brink of collapse.

In such a dire situation, Lin Xun’s massacre of the Earth Treasury Realm and Holy Illumination Ancient Sect Emperors was seen as a blood-soaked declaration of war!

“It is said that Emperor Daoyuan appeared alongside Roaring Battle Emperor of Copper Sparrow House. They’re likely here to avenge Copper Sparrow House!”

“So that’s what this is about. But doesn’t Emperor Daoyuan fear becoming the prime target of the Earth Treasury Realm and Holy Illumination Ancient Sect?”

“Don’t you know? In the Ancient Nebula Road, who has Emperor Daoyuan ever feared? Don’t forget, he’s a successor of Fangchun Mountain! He has slain countless figures from the Great Six Courts and Great Ten Battle Clans. For years, many forces across the Ancient Nebula Road have harbored deep hatred toward him, but in the end, has anyone ever been able to do anything to him?”

...

Discussions erupted like a tidal wave, surging through countless territories and cities across the Ancient Nebula Underworld.

Emperor Daoyuan!

The only Supreme Emperor to emerge in the last one hundred thousand years!

This living legend had now returned to avenge Copper Sparrow House, declaring war on the Earth Treasury Realm and the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect through a bloody massacre. Who wouldn’t be shaken?

For the remaining forces and cultivators of Copper Sparrow House who were still lurking and surviving in the shadows, this news sent waves of excitement through them.

The appearance of Emperor Daoyuan and Roaring Battle Emperor together was like a ray of light breaking through the darkness, igniting a glimmer of hope!

No matter how slim the hope was, it was hope nonetheless!

But one day—A single piece of news shook the entire Ancient Nebula Underworld.

Yu Kunzi, the leader of the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect, had publicly invited Emperor Daoyuan to a meeting on Blood Dome Mountain.

This news ignited a massive uproar across the entire Ancient Nebula Underworld. Countless cultivators were left in disbelief—some astonished, some exhilarated, and others deeply unsettled.

For countless years, Yu Kunzi, along with Buddha Emperor Xufeng, the leader of the Earth Treasury Realm, and the Lord of Copper Sparrow House, had been known as the Three Rulers of Darkness.

Who would have imagined that soon after Emperor Daoyuan’s reappearance, a colossus like Yu Kunzi would personally request a meeting with Emperor Daoyuan?!

Everyone knew that the two giants, the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect and the Earth Treasury Realm, were preparing to make their moves.

The Holy Illumination Ancient Sect was an ancient behemoth with unfathomable depths.

The Earth Treasury Realm was a force that made many turn pale at the mention of its name.

What made them truly terrifying was their intricate relationship with Heavenly Emperor Shi, the wielder of taboo law power.

Years ago, when Heavenly Emperor Shi descended upon the Ancient Nebula Road, these two colossal sects had pledged their unwavering loyalty to him.

Now, with Emperor Daoyuan standing alone, even with the help of Roaring Battle Emperor by his side, how could he possibly contend with these two behemoths?

“Over the past two years, the forces of Copper Sparrow House have already suffered devastating losses. It’s futile. Although Emperor Daoyuan is a supreme Emperor, he has only been at the Emperor Stage for a short time. This time...he’s bound to run into trouble!”

Many came to this conclusion in the end.

“The leader of the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect, Yu Kunzi, has spoken. This means he is determined to eliminate Emperor Daoyuan.”

“The best course of action for Emperor Daoyuan now is to flee the Ancient Nebula Underworld immediately. Given his terrifying foundation as a supreme Emperor, who in this world could stop him if he truly wished to escape? If he lies dormant for a few hundred or a thousand years, he may one day make a triumphant return.”

Speculations, discussions, and predictions spread like wildfire. Many believed that even if Emperor Daoyuan was a living legend, his chances of winning against two towering forces were slim.

But no matter what conclusions were drawn, as the news spread and fermented, countless eyes turned toward Blood Dome Mountain.

The place where Yu Kunzi had chosen for the meeting with Emperor Daoyuan!

Once Emperor Daoyuan received the message...would he dare to attend?

Lin Xun was completely unaware of what was happening in the outside world. He was in the midst of his breakthrough, facing a terrifying tribulation.

......

Boom!

Above the Uncertain Blood Sea, the sky was consumed by churning ink-black thunderclouds, rolling endlessly, crackling with a deafening thunderous rumble.

A world condensed from the power of tribulation thunder and lightning unfolded. Its landscape was vast and endless. Majestic peaks stood tall, rivers stretched far beyond sight, thunderstorms raged like volcanic eruptions and tides of lightning surged and engulfed the world.

Thunder spirits transformed from the essence of countless plants and trees roared across the sky, unleashing cascades of blinding lightning. Even the wind and clouds crackled with destructive tribulation energy.

This was the Illusory Mystery World Tribulation, the greatest trial of the fourth realm Emperor Stage. A world of lightning and thunder shaped by emperor tribulations!

Any random flash of lightning could obliterate an ordinary Emperor. It was beyond terrifying.

Rumble!

Within the vast world of lightning and thunder, a towering figure surged forward, swallowing the sky and earth like an unstoppable abyss. He moved unhindered.

The rolling thunderstorms poured down like divine chains of law and order, but each was shattered beneath his fists, erupting into billions of dazzling arcs of light that rained down.

From afar, it was as if a divine being had descended, shaking the very foundation of the thunderstorm itself!

The figure was none other than Lin Xun.

His eyes were as cold and sharp as a bolt of lighting, while his cultivation surged like a roaring chaos furnace. He unleashed his full power. One casual strike was enough to collapse a mountain of tribulation lightning and split apart a tribulation thunderstorm!

He exuded unparalleled might as he rampaged across the battlefield, his blows tearing through the skies and shattering the land. The aura radiating from him was as vast as an abyss, as oppressive as a celestial prison, devouring all fortune that lay before him.

Minutes passed.

The majestic world of tribulation thunder and lightning was now riddled with gaping voids and devastation.

However, as chilling roars echoed through the void, towering palaces and grand pavilions forged from tribulation lightning rose one after another.

These structures were all wreathed in blazing tribulation flames, unleashing a torrent of devastating divine weapons, including spears, bells, seals, flying swords, horsetail whisks, treasured bottles...

Each artifact pulsed with an ominous tribulation aura, its power unfathomable. A single strike from any of them carried the destructive force of a sixth realm Emperor!

If an ordinary third realm Emperor faced this tribulation, they likely would have been obliterated in an instant, their body and soul vanishing like dust.

Lin Xun’s unstoppable momentum was finally halted, struck by a barrage of devastating blows.

Within moments, his flesh was torn open, his body drenched in blood, his muscles and bones battered, leaving him in a dire state.

This was the Illusory Mystery World Tribulation, an earthshaking tribulation that targeted supreme Emperors!

Despite that, Lin Xun seemed oblivious to the injuries ravaging his body, his eyes burned with an unyielding fighting spirit and his expression was as resolute and calm as ever.

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

He charged forward like a demon god. Though gravely wounded, his power and might did not diminish. Instead, he only grew stronger as the battle raged on, his aura shaking the vast expanse of the universe.

From his early rise to fame in the Ziyao Empire, to his battles across the Ancient Wasteland Domain, to his conquests throughout the starry sky...he had overcome countless tribulations. Some were so bizarre and unprecedented that nothing could faze him now.

No one understood better than him the meaning of nirvana in destruction and the miracle of transformation between life and death!

Thus, during this tribulation, even as he faced unpredictable dangers and suffered grievous wounds, his state of mind remained unwavering and unshaken.

“Kill!”

Between heaven and earth, Lin Xun’s voice echoed like thunder, his long hair billowing around him. Like an inextinguishable flame, he broke through one deadly tribulation after another, bathed in blood as he battled on.

Amid the raging tribulation and endless clashes, his cultivation, essence, qi, and spirit surged and transformed at an astonishing pace...

After stepping into the door of the Emperor Stage, each breakthrough became several times more difficult than the last, with every realm proving more dangerous and arduous than the one before.

However, at the same time, with every breakthrough, his strength underwent significant changes, earth-shattering transformations!

It had been less than ten years since Lin Xun became a supreme Emperor in the Nirvana of Transcendence. In this short span of time, he had made breakthroughs one after another and was now even overcoming the heavenly tribulation of the fourth realm Emperor Stage. His rate of advancement could be described as unprecedented, astonishing beyond comparison.

A full day later, Lin Xun’s aura trembled violently as he unleashed his full potential, pushing the profound mysteries of the Great Dao Furnace Art to its absolute limit.

Boom!

Within the world of tribulation thunder and lightning, it was as if a colossal abyss had emerged, devouring the raging torrents of destruction from all directions with unstoppable force.

Mountains, rivers, earth, void, light, rain, thunder, lightning...everything was consumed by the abyss like dust in a storm.

Soon, the abyss grew larger and larger, as if threatening to devour the very heavens!

Above the Uncertain Blood Sea, in the distance, Big Yellow, Qing Ying and the other old monsters waited anxiously, their hearts pounding in their chests.

No matter how long they had lived or how high their cultivation had reached, this was the first time they had witnessed a supreme Emperor undergoing the Illusory Mystery World Tribulation.

The sheer destructive aura of the tribulation was suffocating. Their hair stood on end, and they found it impossible to contain their fear.

They were terrified!

In truth, if they had been the ones facing the tribulation, they weren’t sure they would have lasted this long.

“This tribulation is becoming more and more terrifying. I wonder how that kid is holding up...” Big Yellow muttered, worry thick in its voice. A full day had passed, and the tribulation continued to rage on with ever-growing ferocity, as if it would never end.

Just then—

Boom!

The heaven and earth quaked, and the sea churned violently.

A scene beyond imagination unfolded before the eyes of Big Yellowed, Qing Ying and the others.

The Illusory Mystery World Tribulation erupted with a deafening explosion. In an instant, it was torn apart, crushed, and devoured by a colossal abyss that surged forth!

The true Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer!
