The leaves of the Primordial Chaos Thousand Daos Tree rustled like pages of ancient scriptures unfolding, emitting the sound of mantras. It seemed to be expounding on the beginning of the universe, the birth of heaven and earth. Under the tree, only one figure was sitting quietly like a rock. Motionless through the whole process, he gave off the impression of an eternal existence! At this moment, Lin Xun was fusing the last epoch’s Immortal dao and Netherworld dao and developing them in one cauldron, a deed that transcended the current era and was unique in all history! Soundlessly, an obscure and inexplicable aura of tribulation emerged. Under the Primordial Chaos Thousand Daos Tree, Lin Xun opened his eyes. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novel⟡fire.net His expression was like calm water, and his black eyes were clear and ethereal. He stood up, stretched his muscles, and began to interpret the various techniques in his mastery. He acted as though he was oblivious to the fact that a tribulation of unprecedented scale was brewing and could strike him at any time. Having integrated all daos, it was time to derive all laws! Despite having awakened, Lin Xun’s mind remained immersed in the marvelous state of enlightenment. As he operated his cultivation, all kinds of arts were projected. Sword scriptures, fist, palm, and finger techniques... Different daos and laws were fully interpreted and demonstrated different powers! That instant, thousands of strands of dao marks converged and wove incredible visions of immortals training martial arts: one was overbearing, one displayed world-dominating might, one was as free as the wind... Gods shouted and demons roared as the three thousand leaves dropped the law powers of countless supreme legacies of the Immortal dao, which were then derived into boundlessly terrifying scenes. It was as if countless deities were illustrating their respective daos and laws in one place, each with the momentum to dominate the past, present, and future! The strongest dao systems, the strongest legacies, and the flow of their profound concepts...all of them were reflected on Lin Xun. He was like the emperor of Heaven. When he lifted a hand, lightning struck thunderously and the sky dome shattered. As though aiming to destroy the world, his every movement possessed ultimate divine power! The Primordial Chaos Thousand Daos Tree, with its three thousand green leaves, represented the endless legacies of Immortal dao origin, and they were all resonating with Lin Xun's derivation of the laws at the moment. Meanwhile, on the cliff edge below the Central Immortal Court, twenty days had passed. Qi Lingyun, Zhongli Xiao, and a host of other cultivators had been waiting patiently. To existences like them, this amount of time was hardly anything. After all, Emperor Ancestors could easily enter hundreds of thousands of years of closed-door cultivation! Right at this moment, a terrifying aura of tribulation filled the air. Shaken, the crowd abruptly looked up. There, in the sky, they saw a smudge of inky tribulation clouds, which came with an oppressive energy that spread out. The terrifying energy it gave off caused even the Emperor Ancestors to falter, rattling their minds. "What kind of tribulation is this? How horrible!" The people present were each knowledgeable cultivators who had gotten used to seeing and experiencing all kinds of worldly affairs and things, but at the moment, they all showed looks of disbelief. Because this kind of tribulation aura was absolutely unheard of and never before seen. “This...cannot be Lin Xun’s Ancestor tribulation, right?” Even Zhongli Xiao could no longer maintain his composure. His pupils constricted, plastered with doubts. “It’s a supreme Ancestor tribulation, and an unprecedented one at that!” Qi Lingyun's eyes, for once, also revealed shock as she lost control of her emotions. “How is this possible?” Mu Yi was stunned. “When I became a supreme Ancestor, the tribulation I experienced was not as intimidating as this.” Chi Pojun's expression flickered dimly. As supreme Emperor Ancestors themselves who also came from the Eighth Heaven Domain, they knew far better than the normal cultivators what a perverse experience it was to become an Ancestor on the supreme path. Just trying to find a sliver of an opportunity could already trap a bunch of dazzling geniuses in place! Should one grasp that opportunity, then when it came to the moment of certification, one might find themselves overcome by despair at the terror of the great tribulation to be faced. People like Chi Pojun’s group, in order to seize this opportunity to realize their Ancestor dao, also had to rack their brains and borrow the power of their entire clans only to barely manage to achieve it. Furthermore, at the time of their tribulation, they had been guarded by a group of clan elders, and armed with innumerous treasures to defend themselves as well as the most precious life-saving pills... It was only by mobilizing the strength of a clan and making meticulous preparations beforehand that they could finally cross the threshold of Supreme Emperor Ancestor. Even so, they knew that many nobles as outstanding as them had fallen in this kind of great tribulation... Those were all proud characters that immortal giants had spent countless efforts and resources bringing up! From this, one could see the horror of the supreme Ancestor tribulation. Yet, comparing their cases to the tribulation aura that had quietly arrived in front of them, Qi Lingyun and the others discovered just how paltry their Ancestor tribulations back then were. This was precisely what caused them to forget to keep their indifferent masks and reveal their astonishment. Upon seeing all the supreme Emperor Ancestors lose their composure like that, the other cultivators present were unable to remain calm either. Did this mean that the strength and foundation Lin Xun possessed in this stage was so outlandish that he was triggering an even more terrifying tribulation than that of characters like Qi Lingyun? After all, it was common knowledge that the more powerful the tribulation was, the more powerful the cultivator challenging it was. The sky had taken on the color of eternal night, completely covered by depressing black tribulation clouds. Not a single ray of sunlight could be seen. The indescribable aura of destruction plunged the whole world into a horrifying atmosphere. Everybody’s hair uncontrollably stood up, their hearts and minds throbbing. At this moment, even people like Qi Lingyun felt chills running up and down their spines. They had realized that this tribulation was absolutely rare in all history and went beyond their knowledge. This fact alone left a bitter taste in their mouths. No matter how unwilling they were, they had to admit that they could not compare to Lin Xun in the same cultivation realm! Otherwise, the tribulations they had triggered wouldn’t be so much inferior. “Fate does play tricks on us. Lin Xun entered the Central Immortal Court and obtained the supreme treasure, and now he has even seized that supreme opportunity to undergo this tribulation. If he becomes a supreme Ancestor, won't he be able to tower over everyone and everything in the same stage?” Zhongli Xiao's face was gloomy and his chest felt stuffy. “Under such a tribulation of this magnitude, he has neither a protector nor a thorough preparation. His chances of survival...are destined to be slim,” commented Chi Pojun coldly. “Even if he has a chance to succeed, we must not let him succeed!” declared Qi Lingyun in her same usual gentle and calm voice, with a rare touch of biting frost in her eyes. This kind of tribulation had never been seen before. Once Lin Xun was allowed to successfully cross it, who could suppress his momentum anymore? If that really happened, then he would be honored as the leader of the Supreme Emperor Ancestor Stage! This kind of thing must not be allowed! “Take a close look, everyone, the law power of this world has shown signs of collapse since this grand tribulation started. If my deduction is correct, then it won't take long for the restrictive power of the Heaven’s Chosen Path to fall apart. When it does, we will be able to go to the Central Immortal Court together!” said Qi Lingyun. The whole field became agitated. After careful observation, they confirmed what Qi Lingyun had said: the law power of this heaven and earth had begun to be disorganized! Even the power that was limiting their cultivation appeared to be loosening and disintegrating! “Very good!” Zhongli Xiao, Chi Pojun, and the others all displayed murderous intent. The threat Lin Xun posed was too big, especially after he had claimed all the fortunes of this place for himself. If they didn’t get rid of him, they would have a hard time living normally. Thunder reverberated from the depths of the pitch-black clouds so powerfully that one would think of the axe strike that first created the world. The sonic wave spread through nine heavens and ten earths, causing people's blood to churn and hitting them dizzy. That kind of supreme heavenly might was simply frightening! Following that, what sounded like a burst of world-shattering drum beats echoed, as if an army of gods were coming from the black clouds. Billions of eye-piercing lightning bolts flashed and formed a storming ocean. One majestic figure then rushed out from that ocean after another, bathed in the lightning as they charged toward the Central Immortal Court with a heavenly power in their hands. Seeing such a scene, the crowd had difficulty breathing and was nearly rattled out of their minds by shock. Isn’t the power of this tribulation...a little too unreasonable? This only further strengthened Qi Lingyun’s determination to kill Lin Xun. Originally, she only wanted to subdue him into being her servant, but now, that desire had been fully replaced by killing intent. “If you die under this tribulation, then that will be the end of this, but if there’s the slightest chance that you’ll survive, I will make sure you’ll be buried here forever!” Qi Lingyun stared fixedly at the Heaven's Chosen Path, waiting for the law power covering it to shatter. In the Central Immortal Court, the Primordial Chaos Thousand Daos Tree stood tall in billions of flowing green lights, completely unaffected by the heavenly tribulation. Lin Xun, who was underneath it, had also been oblivious of the tribulation even in this moment. He was still engrossed in deriving the various supreme legacies and laws. A group of magnificent figures birthed from the tribulation arrived in lightning. The weapons in their hands were sheer terror as they were condensed from heavenly might. However, before they could even get close to the target, an invisible force crushed them one by one. They exploded into rains of electric sparks. The splendid light not only illuminated the hall that was filled with white mist, but also shone on Lin Xun who was performing martial arts. A variety of supreme legacies and daos could then be seen in his rendition. All of them transformed into a tsunami of might that violently swept out. Under the ravages of this might, the lightning figures who were rushing over to kill him all collapsed! At this point in time, Lin Xun was both deriving his skills and crossing the tribulation. It was only that his mind was immersed in a magical state, which made this event so uniquely different. The power of the tribulation was violent and petrifying, constantly pouring out and manifesting catastrophic phenomena as it targeted him and him alone. Anyone else would have crumbled in despair, but not Lin Xun. He was unhurried and unconceited. He was patient and peaceful. Deeply absorbed in performing his arts, he forgot himself. He freely stretched his body, raised his hands and lifted his feet, deploying a variety of dao arts without stopping. He derived and fused them to the fullest... This was a complete metamorphosis, one that carried the same significance as that of a butterfly breaking out from its cocoon, all to achieve that split moment of beauty!
