Chapter 399: Chapter 394: Proving the Dao of Nascent Soul, Chaos Bell Reappears (Seeking Subscription)_2
At the start, the Demon God seemed somewhat illusory, but gradually became real.
Step two, Condensation of the Nascent Soul complete.
Boom Boom Boom!
At this moment, thunderclouds rolled in the sky, catastrophic clouds surged with destruction, expanding in range, towering in the void and continuously condensing energy, the air carried an oppressive feeling.
The surrounding Demon Beasts sensed something and vanished.
In just an instant, within a hundred miles, not a single Demon Beast remained.
With a flickering figure, Lu Xuanji stood in the void, a trace of solemnity flashing across his expression, the power of the tribulation clouds being much greater than imagined.
Step three, the Celestial Tribulation descends!
Once he crosses the Celestial Tribulation, he will become a Nascent Soul True Monarch.
Boom Boom Boom!
The void condensed, the Five-Colored Celestial Tribulation formed, evolving into Geng Metal Divine Thunder, Wood Divine Thunder, Earth Divine Thunder, Sunflower Divine Thunder, Li Fire Divine Thunder, all transforming into five-colored light descending from the heavens, devastating as they fell.
Thunder roared, annihilating everything, tearing everything apart.
Lu Xuanji took a deep breath, actively drawing the Five Elements Divine Thunder into his body, lightning flashed, relentlessly cleansing the physical form, not just washing the physical form.
Boom Boom Boom!
A wave of thunderballs rolled in, continuously sweeping in, after three hours of bombardment, the Five Elements Divine Thunder finally dissipated.
The second Heavenly Tribulation condensed, transforming into black and white, the Yin Yang Qi circulating, turning into Yin Yang Divine Thunder, crashing down.
Amidst the Celestial Tribulation’s condensation, the Yin Yang Divine Thunder’s power grew more ferocious, continuous, like rain.
Within ten feet, black and white became the mainstream, annihilating everything.
Boom Boom Boom!
The Yin Yang Divine Thunder crashed down; Lu Xuanji wielded the Seven-Colored Divine Saber, refining the Divine Thunder.
Under the bombardment of the Yin Yang Divine Thunder, the power relentlessly struck a cultivator akin to a Nascent Soul, continuing for three hours before dissipating.
Whoosh whoosh!
Lu Xuanji activated the Creation Technique, Yin Yang Transformation, Pure Yang Scripture, continuously absorbing Spiritual Qi, converting it into Magical Power, replenishing his own consumption.
Yet, after continuous battles, his Magical Power had already depleted by two-tenths.
"The Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation is somewhat frightening!"
Lu Xuanji frowned slightly.
Recalling the past Golden Core Thunder Tribulation, although the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation was intensely aggressive, each tribulation dissipated after seven or eight minutes; but the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation, not only increased attack strength, but each session’s duration extended to an hour, even several hours.
With the extension of the Thunder Tribulation’s duration, during the cultivator’s tribulation crossing, Magical Power consumption also increased.
If one’s foundation was not strong enough, and Magical Power insufficiently abundant, they might perish under the tribulation’s assault due to Magical Power exhaustion.
Celestial Tribulation is a selection process for cultivators.
Those with insufficient talent, intelligence, potential, or innate gifts will be gradually eliminated.
Boom Boom Boom!
At this moment, the third tribulation descended.
Thunderballs rolled, carrying the power of destruction, the power of void destruction.
Swish swish!
Lu Xuanji wielded the Seven-Colored Divine Saber to strike out, the void shattered, a wisp of destructive thunderball swept through.
For the first time, his body was injured.
Heaven Mending Cauldron operated, Heaven Mending Qi flew out to heal the injuries.
Injuries healed gradually.
The fourth tribulation descended, black thunderballs crashing down, seemingly freezing everything, the Northern Darkness Profound Thunder.
The fifth tribulation descended, Celestial Fire, Celestial Thunder, Nightmare Wind intertwined, crashed down.
Celestial Fire burned Magical Power, Celestial Thunder destroyed the physical form, Nightmare Wind swept through the Divine Soul.
All three together, destruction continued for one hour.
Lu Xuan’s aura grew heavier, injuries widened.
A faint trace of regret filled his heart.
After reaching the Golden Core, he was busy enhancing his cultivation, lagging somewhat in mastering Divine Secret Techniques, lacking strong defensive divine abilities.
Facing the Celestial Tribulation now, he could only rely on the physical body to withstand, as the injuries on his body intensified.
The sixth tribulation descended...
The seventh tribulation descended...
The eighth tribulation descended...
The ninth tribulation descended...
The Celestial Tribulation’s duration lengthened, continuing day and night was the Celestial Tribulation.
Lu Xuanji seemed an tireless War God, battling amidst the Celestial Tribulation, resisting the Celestial Tribulation.
Even though he had the Golden Core’s Twelfth Transformation, his Magical Power was thick reaching five thousand Jiazi, in battle he fought while restoring Magical Power, yet the remaining Magical Power was only one thousand Jiazi.
"The Celestial Tribulation finally ended!"
Lu Xuanji breathed a sigh of relief.
But at this moment, the Celestial Tribulation condensed again, the tenth tribulation descended.
Within the Celestial Tribulation, a strong will resurrected, in the void emerged a grand bell, engraved with the sun, moon, and stars, characters in the middle, Chaos Bell.
Buzz Buzz Buzz!
Under this tribulation, a projection of the Chaos Bell descended here amidst a sense of heavenly-human induction, carrying an aura of judgment and finality.
It seemed at the chime of the bell, the world’s calamities would befall, everything would lead toward extinction and void.
As Chaos Bell appeared, its aura locked onto Lu Xuanji, his body instantly locked up.
"Interesting! Chaos Bell, even in the Immortal Realm, is a supreme Magical Artifact... even just a projection possesses great power!"
Facing the Chaos Bell’s shadow, Lu Xuanji felt a sense of destiny.
As if all of this was within expectations.
"Sending you to death!"
Amidst the Celestial Tribulation, the voice of the Chaos Bell echoed as if pronouncing judgment, the final rotation.
Sizzle!
This ancient Divine Artifact, spanning endless ages, rode the wind and waves, soared amidst the Celestial Tribulation, locked onto his aura, and crashed forward.
In that instant, Lu Xuanji felt the future turn dark.
There were once countless lines of destiny, many possibilities, numerous changes, endless hopes.
But now all those lines of fate were severed, life drained away.
There was no future left.
With this impact, he would die.
In heaven and earth, no one could rescue him.
"Damn, this is the true Celestial Tribulation. But it miscalculated something! A sliver of hope, Twenty-four Treasures, strike!"
At this moment, Lu Xuanji invoked the Twenty-four Treasures, connecting them together, forming a weapon, striking forward.
In that instant, he channeled all of his thousand units of Magical Power into the Magical Treasure.
Buzz Buzz Buzz!
Destructive light obliterated everything, as if eternally, an instant!
When everything dissipated, Lu Xuanji was covered in blood, exhausted and on the brink of death, yet his eyes were sharp, aura towering, though his body seemed on the verge of collapse.
Yet, after withstanding the Chaos Bell’s deadly blow, the projection dissipated, as if it had never existed.
"Wait for me!"
Lu Xuanji said through gritted teeth: "Wait till this body ascends to the Immortal Realm, reaches the highest of heights, I will ascend to the Immortal Realm, and shatter the Chaos Bell!"
At that moment, Lu Xuanji activated the Twenty-four Treasures, channeling energy and Magical Power for repairs.
After the earth-shattering collision, the Twenty-four Treasures almost shattered, but during the clash with the Chaos Bell’s phantom, the Magical Treasures also evolved, seemingly undergoing sublimation.
The Magical Treasures were also crossing their tribulation.
After overcoming the calamity, the grade of the Twenty-four Treasures gradually improved, slowly advancing towards Fifth Grade Spirit Treasure.
Lu Xuanji, feeling tense, his aura growing heavier, made preparations for enemies lurking in the shadows.
The Human Tribulation was about to arrive!
"Tsk tsk! To think he actually passed the Nascent Soul Celestial Tribulation, truly impressive."
"Having crossed the Celestial Tribulation, he must be barely clinging to life, which works to our advantage..."
"While he’s down, finish him off..."
"Let’s take his life while he’s weak..."
In an instant, powerful auras appeared all around, completely surrounding Lu Xuanji, ready to unleash a destructive killing move.
