Rumble!

Within the dome of the sky, bright red lighting, the same color as fresh blood, continuously flashed and thundered. A menacing and terrifying aura permeated the atmosphere making it feel as if the apocalypse was coming.

Lin Xun glowed as he darted forward, avoiding the blasts. Despite having to constantly dodge bolts of angry tribulation lightning, he made a dashing figure as the blood red sparks of lightning blossomed around him like fearsome flowers.

After cultivating quietly for seven full days, Lin Xun had completely recovered from all of his injuries and was now at the peak of health. He could finally face the Cyclic Derivation stage heavenly tribulation!

Crack!

Blood red lightning danced in the air as it thundered down murderously. The surrounding area had already been blasted into fine powder. In fact, a nearby mountain range had evaporated almost instantaneously after getting hit, leaving almost nothing behind.

An aura of destruction saturated the air, making the faraway monster-beast cultivators and fierce beasts tremble with fear. They had lost all courage and had no choice but to continuously retreat furiously into the distance.

They had all spent many years living in this region and were all skilled. However, none of them could have imagined that such a terrifying lightning tribulation could exist and appear.

The dome of the sky resembled a ghastly bowl of divine blood boiling as the bright red color was quite glaring and menacing. The furious lightning continued to rumble and roil, acting as if it was carrying out the heavens’ will to destroy everything and anything in its path.

Despite all of this, Lin Xun’s expression didn’t change one iota. It was as peaceful and as tranquil as always, which was quite unprecedented. He whizzed and flashed through the air as he completely unleashed the full power of his cultivation base to boldly counter the deadly lightning.

From a distance, those watching could see that his entire body was enveloped in a divine glow. His coal-black hair fluttered in the wind, making him resemble a legendary god who was arrogantly looking down on the world.

RUMBLE!

The power within the tribulation became more and more frightening as if the heavens themselves were infuriated.

The roiling waves of bright red lightning gradually darkened and became violet. A sparkling arc of purple exploded, dazzling the eye.

Bang!

The violet lightning tribulation occasionally transformed into images of divine creatures and fierce beasts across the air. They were vivid and lifelike and appeared as if they were ready to kill and murder throughout the vast sky.

Following that, images of soaring pikes, large halberds, oppressive hammers, bright blades and other treasures blossomed and filled the sky with sharp killing intent. It was enough to awe the entire world.

Furthermore, these images then morphed into towering mountains and ancient, opulent palaces. These structures looked as if they could destroy the heavens and earth and were full of intimidating pressure and power.

Regardless of how the lightning tribulation transformed, Lin Xun didn’t retreat a single step. Instead, he used his strong and powerful fist energy to blast and destroy everything in his way.

“Heavens, this fellow is too fierce. I am confident that the power of this lightning tribulation has rarely, if ever, been seen. It’s so terrifying, yet...he hasn’t been smashed into smithereens!”

In the faraway distance, the watching cultivators all stood there in complete shock.

The more powerful a cultivator, the more ruthless of a lightning tribulation they would experience. Since ancient times, this was a well-known fact that everyone knew.

In front of them was something that could only be described in myths and legends. It no doubt proved that the person who was undergoing this tribulation was a heaven-defying and powerful freak.

Before long, Lin Xun extended his arms into the sky and howled. His entire aura began to climb up again, resembling a giant dragon finally uncoiling and surging forward.

This was an unprecedented performance and was handedly defeating all other ascensions that had occurred in the past. He clearly had a lot of confidence and belief in himself.

Rumble!

Another startling scene then unfolded. The roiling tribulation clouds that had begun to coalesce were completely destroyed and scattered by a single fist from him!

The void looked as if it had been punched open, and the defeated tribulation clouds were blasted away in all directions. The end result appeared as if everything had been vacuumed away.

No one could believe their eyes at this point. Those who were watching in the distance were so startled that they almost fell limply to the ground.

Was this guy actually human?

The lightning tribulation from earlier was so unique and frightening that most people felt their hearts drop with fear when they saw it.

Yet, a single fist had blown it all apart!

Everyone gasped, filled with abject fear. They began to wonder, just where did such a freak come from?

He was too heaven-defying!

In the dome of the sky, Lin Xun towered in the air as he bathed leisurely in the now defeated and gentle purple lightning. Every inch of his flesh was now glowing, and his body overflowed with a rich and powerful energy that rumbled and roared like thunder.

He was savoring this.

This was one of the Three Cataclysmic Tribulations, the Great Lighting Tribulation.

When the Great Lighting Tribulation descended, it was full of terrible killing power as it targeted a cultivator’s cultivation. Once that person could no longer endure it, their entire cultivation base and power would be completely exterminated. In addition, their body would evaporate completely, leaving nothing behind. It was truly a horrifying end.

According to what Lin Xun knew, in the present age, no one who had advanced to the Cyclic Derivation stage had ever called down the Three Cataclysmic Tribulations to test them.

Even in the far distant, ancient past, this kind of calamity was rarely ever seen. Only the real geniuses and exceptional heaven prides could summon such a trial.

“Those who walk the supreme path are truly a cut above the rest and are unique beyond measure…”

A deep understanding settled into his heart.

The violet lightning tribulation that he had blasted into smithereens now filled the entire sky with a bright rain. He was currently devouring all of the remaining energy, which made his cultivation transform into an astonishing state.

His Heaven Ascension Cave was currently shrinking. Power was being sucked in constantly, and the simple and unadorned dao platform within was currently being tempered and transformed. It slowly became smaller and smaller before it condensed into a glorious and dazzling divine wheel that was in its embryonic form…

Bang!

Before the process had ended, another startling event occurred in the sky dome above. Shocking and terrifying cracks began to appear, and each one was around a thousand yards long.

From the ground, the sky now resembled a piece of brightly colored, curved piece of glass that had cracks forming in it.

At this time, a transparent and pure black flame silently oozed through a large crevice. It was neither flashy nor bright and instead had a hazy aura that felt reserved and intimidating.

But this only made people feel even more uncertain and scared!

In the distance, everyone’s soul began to tremble as they had sensed a fatal aura, causing their expression to morph greatly.

Just what was this tribulation?

There was no longer any thundering lightning. Instead, this was an odd and silent transparent black flame! But in comparison, this flame was even more terrifying.

Whoosh!

At the same time, Lin Xun sat down cross-legged. Above his head, the soul of his primordial spirit, which was only about an inch tall, suddenly rushed out. It was wrapped in a divine-like luster as it shot up.

This was the second of the Three Cataclysmic Tribulations, the Soul Burning Flame Tribulation. It targeted a cultivator’s mind and spirit. As soon as they could no longer endure, then their primordial spirit would instantly become ash. All memories, thoughts and consciousness would immediately burn up and disappear completely.

There was no way to reverse this even if a god from the myths and legends appeared!

Once the one inch tall soul of the primordial spirit appeared, the flame that had appeared from the vault of sky acted as if it was a shark that scented blood. Within a flash, it shot down and covered the soul as it began to burn.

On the other hand, Lin Xun continued to sit quietly and tranquilly, completely safe and sound. Not a single injury had appeared.

His primordial spirit soul acted quickly and began to meditate within the confines of the tribulation flame. It released a bright and blinding light that surrounded and covered it like a divine shield.

Inside, ten thousand bright and resplendent stars began to cycle without extinguishing. A full moon hung above as it exuded a beautiful radiance, and a large sun spewed out brilliant rays.

After he completed the sixth challenge of the Omega Secret-Realm, Lin Xun was able to completely master the Little Divine Meditation Art, which gave rise to his own soul of the primordial spirit.

Now, there was no need for him to fear the Soul Burning Flame Tribulation

In fact, as this flame tribulation burned down, it actually helped him temper and forge his mind. His thoughts became more clear and dazzling, and it was as if his mind was becoming completely naked and stripped.

What was going back to the beginning?

It was like a fish that was no longer being bothered by a fishing line and hook. It was as if his mind had become completely cleared and was now fulfillingly empty. He was no longer shackled by any distracting thoughts or had to fret himself into fatigue.

This kind of refresh had been described many times in the pastmand was truly a profound and wondrous state.

The atmosphere was completely silent, yet to the people watching, it felt as if it was incredibly stifling and oppressive. Although this tribulation flame looked like it was being easily conquered, the more simple it looked, the more awful it actually was!

Everyone was shocked to stillness. The two tribulations they had seen so far had completely exceeded their expectations and imagination.

In addition, they all knew that these heavenly tribulations were extremely rare events even in the ancient past, let alone in the present!

A quarter of an hour passed.

His soul of the primordial spirit suddenly snapped its eyes open and stood up. Its mouth opened.

Shhhhhhh~~~

The entirety of the Soul Burning Flame tribulation was instantly consumed by the primordial spirit soul.

Following that, the primordial spirit soul began to release a divine glow and gushed out a multicolored light before it finally calmed down again.

Compared to before, the primordial spirit soul looked as if it had undergone a harsh and long tempering process and had been polished to its peak. It gave off an aura of going back to its roots and true self.

Whoosh!

It rushed back into Lin Xun’s body and disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, Lin Xun opened his eyes while still seated. A deep and profound light flashed briefly within his pupils.

In the distance, everyone froze as they had sensed Lin Xun gazing over them. It felt as if all of their secrets had been seen through.

This made their hair stand on end. Overwhelmed, they almost couldn’t help prostrating as it felt as if they were facing a true god right now.

However, the heavenly tribulation had not reached its end yet.

Lin Xun got up. His dark eyes were calm and tranquil like an unending abyss. Strands of pure and fresh energy revolved around him as the Dao Meaning of Water rippled.

In the sky, everything was quiet and austere.

Lin Xun knew that the third cataclysmic tribulation was about to come.

This tribulation was also called the Extinction Wind Tribulation, and it had the ability to destroy a person’s cultivation art and the roots of their dao comprehension! Once a cultivator could not endure any longer, their five viscera, blood and bones, and cultivation would be extinguished!

This tribulation would no doubt be the most harrowing one.

Before the tribulation could even descend, all living creatures in the area fled away in a panic as they could no longer stand the frightening atmosphere that was enveloping everything.

They could instinctively tell that, if they continued to stay behind, that they were destined to suffer from the incoming storm and end up dead!

Whoooo~~

Before long, the sound of a hurricane passing through seemed to come from the sky. Within a few seconds, the sky darkened and became chaotic as if a storm was coming.

A black wind quickly covered a radius of a thousand miles. It popped up a mountain that was around a thousand miles tall. The mountain floated in the void for a moment before becoming crushed into a fine powder, leaving absolutely nothing behind.

Gurgling streams, rivers, vegetation, rocks…all were ripped apart by the frightening force of the wind. They were destroyed completely.

Within moments, all of the fauna and flora along with the ancient forests had all been wiped away. This stretch of land had truly become a victim of the vicious, black wind.

This type of scene resembled what Judgement Day would look like!

This was the terror of the Extinction Wind Tribulation. In ancient times, there were some geniuses who had overcome both the Great Lightning Tribulation and the Soul Burning Flame Tribulation, but many of them had fallen at the Extinction Wind Tribulation. In the end, they had no choice but to be annihilated, leaving only bitter regrets behind.

Right now, Lin Xun was in the midst of the wind tribulation. Suddenly, a bright light began to emit from him as he began activating his techniques to resist and fight back against the tribulation.

The Nine Heavenshaking Destructions Art, Heavenly Yuan Blade Art, Tribulation Dragon Nine Transformations…

At that moment, everyone could see that fantastical images were appearing within the eye of the terrifying black storm.

There was a scene of the stars falling and the moon and sun striving for superiority…

There was a scene of a dragon rising into the sky, and a large phoenix crying out loud…

There was a scene of a hornless ice dragon coiling, and a bixi colliding…

And every single scene felt as if there was a substance behind it as it was imbued with the Dao Meaning of Water. All of this revolved around Lin Xun as he was in full control of everything.

This situation was like seeing a legendary immortal show their powers or a martial god displaying his true dao!
