Chapter 914 - Manifestation Tribulation

The moment Chen Fan’s voice fell, the visions disappeared.

His consciousness gradually returned, and he realized that he was still ascending the stairs. Gradually, his footsteps grew lighter, and his strength flowed back.

Looking up, he saw light ahead—the stairs were no longer endless.

“This, this is the demonic mountain?”

Chen Fan looked at the summit. He was not in a hurry to go up. Instead, he sat down to cultivate, recovering his strength.

He realized he had spent three whole years climbing the mountain.

In those years, his cultivation had reached a bottleneck, teetering on the edge of a breakthrough to the Manifestation realm.

His state of mind had also transformed, becoming sharper and more profound.

As his strength recovered, the sense of imminent breakthrough intensified until it became impossible to suppress.

“I’m about to break through!” Brilliant light burst out from Chen Fan’s eyes.

Only three years had passed, but he felt like he had experienced over a thousand lifetimes. He had forgotten about cultivation, the world—everything. He had been lost in those visions, drowning in anger and sorrow.

But now, there was no time to reflect—his breakthrough was unstoppable.

He stood up, lifted his feet, and flashed past the Myriad Demons Stairs like a gust of wind, pushing his speed to the limits.

Since the Myriad Demons Stairs was the manifestation of the will of the first-generation Lord of Myriad Demons, he couldn’t predict what would happen if he underwent a breakthrough there. So, he didn’t undergo his breakthrough there.

He wasn’t advancing by a small step in cultivation—this was a leap that would summon heavenly tribulation.

Chen Fan was well aware that his heavenly tribulation would not be simple. And the stairs were far from ideal for that.

As he flew up the stairs, he tried his hardest to suppress his cultivation, but it steadily slipped out of control, inching toward eruption.

Unnoticed, he became attuned to heaven and earth. Suddenly, the winds and clouds above the demonic mountain darkened ominously—like a storm ready to crush the land.

Finally, Chen Fan reached the summit.

Numerous gazes turned to him immediately. The guards stationed here—tasked with cleaning the sect’s stairs—were no ordinary individuals.

Every one of them had extraordinary temperaments, and Chen Fan couldn’t even see through the cultivation levels of some of them.

Yet, despite their power, these experts wielded nothing more than brooms, sweeping the mountain stairs. The sight was surreal but undeniable.

They looked at Chen Fan, and a brilliant light flashed in the eyes of many of these experts.

“Who are you, and where do you come from?” asked a demon king-class expert icily.

“Chen Fan, from the Tianwu Continent,” he replied calmly, unbothered by their scrutiny.

As his voice fell, a terrifying aura descended on him, followed by fierce winds blowing against him, icy to the extreme.

“How dare someone from the Tianwu Continent ascend the demonic mountain! You’re seeking death!”

A fourth-level Manifestation realm demonic cultivator stepped forward, radiating a terrifying aura.

Chen Fan did not move. The moment he had set foot on the peak, his suppressed cultivation broke free. Instantly, a Manifestation realm aura surged skyward, connecting with heaven and earth.

Rumble!

Suddenly, heaven and earth changed drastically. Fierce winds roared like thunder, surging violently.

Boom, crack, crack!

Deafening rumblings of thunder shook heaven and earth.

This sudden change shocked the surrounding people.

Everyone turned their eyes to the sky, where thunderclouds churned ominously. Lightning, like dragons, writhed within the clouds.

“This is...” The crowd was dumbfounded at the sight, their faces filled with astonishment.

“Heavenly tribulation! This is a heavenly tribulation!”

“Who is facing their heavenly tribulation here, how dare they!”

“Damn it, it’s this kid from the Tianwu Continent. He’s facing his tribulation on the summit, damn it!”

Their gazes quickly locked onto Chen Fan, now the clear source of the heavenly phenomenon. Fury and killing intent blazed in their eyes.

Chen Fan came from the Tianwu Continent. A foreigner had not only climbed the peak but was now using it to face his tribulation as if mocking their sanctity. What audacity!

Numerous icy gazes filled with endless killing intent fell on him. However, he remained unfazed by their hostility.

As he stood beneath the wrathful sky, sensing his tribulation, Chen Fan’s heart also trembled.

Since his first tribulation during the condensation of his golden core, Chen Fan’s heavenly tribulations had always been terrifyingly unique. They were almost all mutated heavenly tribulations—spanning from the ancient to primordial eras—relentless in their attempts to obliterate him.

Being the one facing the tribulation, he could sense its unprecedented ferocity. It was unlike anything he had encountered before.

The nearby crowd was appalled when they saw the heavenly tribulation gathering in the sky, their hearts trembling.

“Quickly run, leave this area!”

“That damned guy, why does his manifestation tribulation feel so deadly!”

“Damn it, could it be that he’s a monster from the Tianwu Continent? His manifestation tribulation has mutated. He can’t overcome it.”

“Go! Leave now before we’re caught in it. I have a feeling that this manifestation tribulation would be very terrifying!”

In mere moments, the demonic cultivators who were clamoring to kill Chen Fan, a kid from the Tianwu Continent, scattered in all directions, fleeing from the range of the heavenly tribulation.

The once-clear sky was now engulfed by roaring winds and towering waves of energy.

When Chen Fan’s Manifestation aura erupted, it was like stirring a hornet’s nest. Majestic heavenly might swept down in an instant.

Tribulation clouds gathered, and in the layers of cloud, lightning dragons that left people’s hearts trembling tumbled and rampaged. Everyone within a radius of several hundred kilometers could feel this grandiose heavenly might boiling.

Chen Fan took a deep breath, steadying his mind. Resolute and calm, he made every preparation to face the terrifying tribulation head-on.

Whoosh!

In the next moment, countless thunderbolts rained down from the sky like water pouring down. It was as if the lightning had turned into a lightning waterfall, crashing downwards.

The entrance to the peak of the demonic mountain quickly turned into an ocean of lightning.

“This...”

“

Hiss, hiss

.”

The onlooking demonic cultivators in the surroundings sucked in a breath of cold air one after another, feeling at a loss for words.

From just this appetizer at the start, one could see how terrifying Chen Fan’s tribulation was.

When that lightning waterfall came crashing down, everything inside this ocean of lightning was reduced to nothingness, annihilated.
