Chapter 2405 No-Law Against Heavens

The sixth realm Emperor Stage was known as Pervading Emptiness.

It was also called the realm of No-Law Against Heavens.

At this level, an Emperor’s True Self Emperor World would undergo fundamental transformation, becoming a source of origin power and no longer bound by the power of heaven and earth.

As long as the True Self Emperor World remained intact, the cultivator could endlessly absorb and refine the forces of the universe into their cultivation, rendering their own power near inexhaustible!

In the earlier stages of cultivation, one relied on the support of blessed grounds, needed to comprehend the myriad worldly phenomena, and harnessed the natural power of rivers and mountains.

Within the Ancient Nebula Road, they could indeed summon wind and rain, shift mountains and fill seas.

However, once they left the Ancient Nebula Road and stepped into an unfamiliar universe, their cultivation could very likely be suppressed under unfamiliar dao laws, forcing them to depend solely on their own strength.

This was similar to how the lower world, Ancient Wasteland Domain, Ancient Nebula Road and different worlds and planes were governed by different laws of heaven and earth.

The lower world and Ancient Wasteland Domain fell under the jurisdiction of the Ancient Nebula Road, so these variations were minimal.

However, once one left the domain of the Ancient Nebula Road and entered a new cosmic plane, it meant facing entirely foreign orders of power and dao laws.

In a foreign world, ‘outsiders’ often found their cultivation suppressed, or even repelled entirely.

For this reason, cultivators below the Emperor Stage rarely dared to venture into an unfamiliar world.

Only those at the Emperor Stage possessed the power to roam freely between universes and walk unhindered amidst the different dao laws.

Of note, even though Emperors could traverse the boundless cosmos, foreign dao power could still reject and suppress them, making it difficult for them to command the unfamiliar forces of that world.

For instance, during Lin Xun’s previous travels, he had faced immense pressure from those foreign dao laws. Were it not for his profound cultivation, he might not have survived.

However, once he reached the sixth realm Emperor Stage, everything would change!

The true meaning of No-Law Against Heavens was that one would no longer be shackled by any law of heaven or earth, regardless of where one stood in the universe.

At the heart of this transformation was the transformation of the True Self Emperor World. Upon reaching the Pervading Emptiness state, one transcended all laws and was capable of absorbing and refining all forces of power into their cultivation.

Even in an unfamiliar world, surrounded by unfamiliar laws and order, one could still turn those powers into their own.

Now, Lin Xun stood on the verge of a great breakthrough, ready to face the heavenly tribulation that would elevate him into the sixth realm Emperor Stage—Pervading Emptiness.

......

In the desolate starworld, Lin Xun sat cross-legged, calm and silent, like an ancient well untouched by wind. His cultivation had been compressed, restrained, and all contained within his True Self Emperor World.

The True Self Emperor World was like a volcano that had been dormant for countless years now on the verge of erupting. Thunderous, rhythmic pulses emanated from within.

The massive starworld beneath him rumbled in strange resonance.

This place was buried deep in a collapsed universe, where the dao had withered and disasters were everywhere.

It was precisely for these reasons that Lin Xun had chosen this place for his breakthrough. With no lingering power of the great dao and no one to disturb him, it was perfect.

Three days passed.

Not even a trace of aura leaked from Lin Xun’s body. Dust coated his still and silent figure, lifeless like dried wood. He was indistinguishable from the nearby rocks and soil.

Yet the massive starworld beneath him continued to resonate and pulse, as if inhaling and exhaling.

Within his body, the True Self Emperor World roiled like molten fire, bubbling and surging, ready to erupt like a volcano.

Silently, rolling tribulation clouds surged across the sky. In an instant, the sky above Lin Xun was swallowed by the aura of tribulation.

It became as dark as eternal night.

The oppressive aura of tribulation was so powerful that ordinary Emperors would have fallen to despair, their minds on the verge of collapse.

This apocalyptic scene continued for an entire day.

This huge starworld was shrouded in an endless ocean of black tribulation clouds, vast and thick, pulsing with destructive force.

Amidst this deathly silence, a loud sound suddenly erupted.

A thunderclap like the first voice of creation.

The entire dome collapsed and the withered starry sky shuddered, and countless ancient stars exploded into powder.

Kacha!

The huge starworld beneath Lin Xun split open, unable to endure the terrifying pressure. It shattered into countless fragments.

At that moment, Lin Xun, who had remained still like stone, opened his eyes and rose to his feet.

With that single motion, his True Self Emperor World, compressed to its absolute limit, erupted like a divine volcano.

Boom!

A vast and terrifying dao aura surged from Lin Xun’s body, drowning the heavens. Faintly, it seemed as if a bottomless abyss had emerged, and from within that abyss, a divine cauldron loomed. Around the cauldron, a magnificent universe began to form. Sun, moon, stars, heaven, earth, and the vast landscapes of mountains and rivers...all turned into wondrous visions swirling around him.

Until finally, a Primal Chaos Tree erupted from the ground, radiating primal chaos qi. In an instant, it engulfed all the visions, cloaking them in an indescribable haze of primal chaos.

Lin Xun was still Lin Xun, but the power erupting from him tore through the thick black tribulation clouds above his head.

Rumble—

Deep within the churning clouds, lightning writhed and danced like furious dragons. In the next moment, endless thunderbolts surged like a heavenly river, pouring down in torrents.

Each bolt contained unimaginable destructive force. Even a single strike could annihilate an Emperor.

It was as if the heavenly river had burst its banks and poured down. Such a scene could send chills down even an Emperor Ancestor’s spine.

Undoubtedly, this was an earth-shaking tribulation!

Lin Xun, standing beneath it all, did not dodge or retreat, but instead he stepped forward, arms wide open, as if welcoming it. His tall figure stood like a bottomless abyss towering into the sky, unleashing an overwhelming force of devouring and destruction.

In the blink of an eye, his body was swallowed by the endless flood of thunder and lightning. Blinding arcs blazed across the sky, and the heavens rumbled loudly.

Suddenly, it was as if the end of the world had descended.

Within moments the rolling torrent of lightning was caught in a vast vortex, devoured and obliterated to nothing.

At last, the tribulation lightning faded in the sky, leaving Lin Xun’s towering figure, deep as an abyss, blazing with infinite divine light.

Upon a closer look, crackling arcs of lightning still danced across his face, flickering from his pores, but he was completely unharmed. In fact, his aura had become even more formidable.

“That was just the appetizer. Bring me more.”

Lin Xun raised his eyes toward the heavens. In the depths of his gaze, battle intent blazed, bright and unyielding.

Boom!

As if provoked, the tribulation clouds surged violently and scenes of utter destruction manifested in the sky. Then, thunder transformed into countless divine and demonic phantoms, roaring as they charged toward Lin Xun like a great celestial army.

Lin Xun gave a faint smile and shot upward, unleashing his own dao and techniques. His every move radiated a power capable of annihilating heavens and earth.

The army of divine and demonic phantoms were torn apart piece by piece, turning into a storm of thunder and lightning that was then swallowed into his body.

He was unstoppable, crushing everything in his way.

But before the army of phantoms was completely wiped out, even more terrifying visions surged from the depths of the tribulation clouds.

A world of hell drenched in black blood descended, trying to drown everything.

A river of stars shimmered, carrying billions of celestial bodies.

One after another, ancient altars, mysterious pagodas, otherworldly daoist sites, magnificent divine sites, grand palaces and towering sacred mountains emerged.

Each vision was surreal. It was hard to believe that this was merely the power of an Emperor’s tribulation!

Even Lin Xun couldn’t help but freeze for a moment in astonishment. Then he let out a laugh and charged forward without hesitation.

He cast aside all distractions and unleashed his power to the fullest. His mind was completely empty—no thoughts, no hesitation, only the burning will to fight pulsing in his heart.

Rumble!

This starry sky was drowned in a sea of destructive energy. Tribulation lightning and thunder raged, countless phenomena erupted and the world trembled in shock.

Amidst the chaos, Lin Xun’s figure stood tall. Soon, his body was battered, bombarded, torn and lashed by divine lightning.

Despite that, he continued to fight, as if he had transcended pain, life and death. His majestic figure refused to fall.

A long time passed

This wave of tribulation lightning finally began to fade.

On the battlefield, only Lin Xun’s tattered and blood-soaked figure remained.

However, his essence, energy and spirit burned even fiercer than before. His unparalleled fighting spirit was unshaken, and his will was like iron!

This tribulation was far more terrifying than he had ever imagined. It even surpassed imagination itself.

Unfortunately, at this moment, Lin Xun had reached a point of no return.

Furthermore, he also had never once thought of retreating!

Throughout his life, from the moment he rose to prominence as a teenager to the present, he had faced countless heavenly tribulations. Every one of them had been a brush with death, perilous and soul-shattering, far beyond what most cultivators could even dream of enduring.

Despite that, he never backed down once.

This time was no different.

In addition, Lin Xun knew better than anyone that surviving such bizarre, even abnormal tribulations brought unimaginable rewards.

He barely had time to breathe before another wave of tribulation lightning descended

Boom!

One after another, awe-inspiring figures emerged from the depths of the thunderclouds. They were majestic beings forged from thunder and lightning, surging forward like ancient kings patrolling the mortal world. Each radiated a power that rivaled Lin Xun’s, as though a legion of supreme Emperors had descended!

What shocked him most was their varied appearances. There were men and women—some dressed in daoist robes, some astride Qilins, and others wielding jade rules.

There were some clad in blood-stained armor, golden halberds in hand and crowns upon their heads.

Some had slender figures and were veiled in mist and radiant light, resembling immortals holding jade bottles.

Others looked like fierce demons, commanding wind, fire, and lightning as they strode across seas of purgatory blood.

Each radiated boundless and unrivaled might!

Lin Xun’s pupils shrank as a thought flashed through his mind like lightning:

Could these tribulation-born figures be projections of ancient Emperor-level beings who once shone brilliantly on the Supreme Path throughout the ages?

This was unlike any tribulation Lin Xun had ever faced. It was bizarre and eerie.

Before he could think further—

Boom!

Those terrifying figures surged through the void and surrounded Lin Xun from all sides.

They might not have been true supreme Emperors, but their power was in no way inferior. The techniques they unleashed and the power pouring from their divine treasures were overwhelming. It was unmistakably the true might of the Supreme Emperor Stage!
