Chapter 4: The Nine Heavenly Tribulations (Super Long)
The sky gradually darkened, even the light was absorbed by the darkness, fear spread in the dark space, heavy breathing came and went, but it made people feel so quiet, the original purple thunderclouds on the horizon had long been gone, leaving a heavy pressure to oppress everything under the sky.
"What's going on? Why did this Heavenly Tribulation have such a vision? I've never heard of the Tribulation Cloud absorbing along with the light in the surrounding space!"
In the darkness, I don't know who couldn't bear the silence under this heaviness, and finally asked the doubts in everyone's hearts, but no one answered his question, because no one knew, but there was a trace of excitement in everyone's hearts gently rippling, maybe it was really like everyone's guess before, Zixiao Zhenren will open a new era, and the golden immortal is about to return to the earth.
At this moment, no one cares about Zixiao Zhenren's thoughts, maybe Zixiao Zhenren has regretted it, his face is pale, but he is hidden in this heavy darkness, the Heavenly Tribulation, as the previous sect master of the first sect of the Source Realm, has not never seen it, but the Heavenly Tribulation that he has seen before, the color of the Tribulation Cloud is only dark purple when it is the darkest, and it has never appeared so black at this moment, the Cultivator Alliance has also understood one thing through years of observation and research, the darker the color of the Tribulation Cloud, the greater its power will be, of course, the depth of the color of the Tribulation Cloud is also completely dependent on the strength of the person who crossed the Tribulation。
A cultivator who has stayed in the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Immortal Realm for a long time, the tribulation clouds he encounters are often some dark purple tribulation clouds, and their terrifying power is already terrifying, and at this moment, even more dense black has appeared, how can this not make Zixiao Zhenren feel afraid.
If you want to cross the tribulation, you don't need to be promoted to the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, you only need to be in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, you can draw out your own Heavenly Tribulation in the Source Realm at any time, and the Heavenly Tribulation drawn out by a cultivator who has just stepped into the Heavenly Immortal Realm is just a pale yellow Tribulation Cloud, and its power If you treat the cultivators of the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, it can be easily passed, but it is only placed on the cultivators who have just been promoted to the Heavenly Immortals, and its difficulty is no less than that of the Dark Purple Tribulation Cloud and the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, and the lower the cultivation, the longer the time that the cultivators insist on is not as long as the time that the advanced cultivators insist on, that's why the Cultivator Alliance will require that only cultivators of the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Immortal Realm can survive the tribulation, after all, the cultivators of the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Immortal Realm will have a greater chance of successfully surviving the Heavenly Tribulation.
In the previous thousand years, there was no non-Heavenly Immortal Realm among all the cultivators who crossed the tribulation, so it was the first time for everyone to see such a heavenly tribulation, although this was quite terrifying, but according to the law of the previous tribulation, Zixiao Zhenren could hold on for a longer time, so everyone's hearts expected that Zixiao Zhenren could succeed in crossing the tribulation, and in this way, it would point out a successful path for other people.
Suddenly, the sky shone brightly, and an arm-thick thunder light cut through the darkness and split on the Tribulation Plain, in a short period of light, everyone saw the Zixiao Zhenren standing there, the first thunder light seemed to have no effect on Zixiao Zhenren at all, and the Zixiao Zhenren on the Tribulation Plain didn't even shake his hair and resisted this thunder light.
Of course, this was just a thunderbolt from the first Heavenly Tribulation, and it didn't give Zixiao Zhenren any time to breathe, and the eight thunderbolts that followed followed one after another descended, all of which accurately hit Zixiao Zhenren under the Tribulation Cloud.
At this point, the first Heavenly Tribulation was over, and the Tribulation Cloud that released the nine thunder lights did not change at all, and it was still black, but the Tribulation Cloud did not immediately enter the second layer, but began to absorb the energy emitted extremely quickly, so that the Tribulation Cloud returned to its peak state, and the sky and earth returned to darkness.
Zhang Yuan swallowed his saliva secretly, until this moment, Zhang Yuan understood the gap between himself and the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, the power of thunder light like just now has completely surpassed the five thunder blasts summoned by the original thunder god Johnson, but Zhang Yuan is still confident that he can continue, but he needs to constantly run brute force to digest it, it is definitely not as easy as Zixiao Zhenren, of course, Wang Jin has introduced the power of this heavenly tribulation to himself before, the power of the heavenly tribulation is not static, and the power of each weight will be the nine thunder lights in the previous heavenly tribulation, that would be a devastating existence.
During the period of time that Zhang Yuan was thinking, Zixiao Zhenren also ushered in his second tribulation, and after returning to his peak state, he couldn't wait to descend the second tribulation, and sure enough, as Wang Jin said before, the thunder light of this second tribulation has increased a lot, although the thickness of the thunder light has not changed much compared to before, but the color of this thunder light has deepened a lot, and the previous thunder light also exudes a faint yellow light, but at this moment Zhang Yuan saw a trace of blood from this thunder light.
The moment the thunder light illuminated the heaven and earth, Zhang Yuan saw Zixiao Zhenren move under the clouds, Zhang Yuan was a little glad that he had the Tianyan Tong, otherwise, it would be impossible to appreciate Zixiao Zhenren's punch that shook the heavens and the earth, just a punch, Zixiao Zhenren became majestic in Zhang Yuan's eyes, and his upright body was relying on the earth, facing the sky, towards the clouds on his head, Zixiao Zhenren hit this domineering Jedi punch.
It seems to be an indictment of this heaven and earth, a struggle against fate, this punch is full of all the emotions of Zixiao Zhenren in this life, but heaven and earth are ruthless, and all things are used as dogs, even if it is so, the punch of heaven and earth is drowned in the blood-colored heavenly tribulation thunder, one after another, the upright body in the thunder light actually began to appear rickets, which made Zhang Yuan's heart tightly gathered together.
At the end of the second tribulation, the calamity clouds in the sky were no longer as black as ink, and the surrounding space was no longer dark, and the dark purple tribulation clouds rolled up quickly, and the wind suddenly blew around, and everyone who watched the ceremony could clearly feel that the surrounding heaven and earth aura were all rapidly surging towards the calamity, and the calamity began to recover again.
Suddenly a glimmer of light appeared, making the Tribulation Plains more and more quiet, even if the previous breathing sound was silent, no, there was still a person breathing, and the sound of breathing became louder and louder, gradually enveloping the entire Tribulation Plain, making everyone hear it clearly, it seemed that Zixiao Zhenren had reached his limit.
The light gradually disappeared, the heavens and the earth returned to darkness, a pagoda slowly rose on the Tribulation Plain, and the hazy light reappeared on the Tribulation Plain, in the light, a vague figure sat cross-legged, it was the Zixiao Zhenren who was crossing the Tribulation at this moment, obviously Zixiao Zhenren changed the way of the Tribulation, gave up the previous use of his strong body to resist, and chose the protection of the defensive magic weapon.
"It seems that I still have a lot of things to prepare, and I really sat back and watched the sky before. Zhang Yuan muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear.
This sentence was not said to anyone, but what I didn't expect was that Zhang Yuan actually got a response, and the voice sounded directly in Zhang Yuan's mind, it was Pangu, who had been silent for a long time, "You don't need to cross the tribulation to be promoted to Golden Immortal, because you can directly promote Golden Immortal on the Flood Desolate Continent, where heaven and earth allow the existence of Golden Immortals." ”
Pangu's words made Zhang Yuan a little stunned, he really didn't think of this method before, it turned out that the space-time contact instrument can not only be used as an auxiliary device for his own practice, but also as a cheat for his own practice, since Pangu said so, then the method of promoting the Golden Immortal on the Flood Desolate Continent must be feasible, but if Zhang Yuan really did that, he always felt that even if he was promoted to a Golden Immortal, he would lack something, looking at Zixiao Zhenren who was still resisting the third Heavenly Tribulation in the distance, Zhang Yuan suddenly understood that he had avoided the Heavenly Tribulation, which was equivalent to giving up his courage。
What Mao Taizong said at the beginning is very reasonable, fighting with the sky, the fun is endless, a cultivator who does not dare to face the danger can still be called a practitioner, Zhang Yuan found that the current Pangu has changed, and I still remember that before the opening of the sky, Pangu once said that the backbone of the practitioner will not bend, all the way against the sky, everything can be lost, but courage can not be given up.
As if sensing Zhang Yuan's thoughts, Pangu's voice sounded in Zhang Yuan's mind again, "Zhang Yuan, you should understand that the purpose of our cultivation is not to go against the sky, we want to stand in a higher place to examine the truest self, and choose to be promoted on the Flood Desolate Continent, not that you have given up your courage, but that you have found the right direction, you have to understand your truest purpose." ”
Zhang Yuan was a little confused, what Pangu said didn't seem to be unreasonable, but at this moment, Zhang Yuan didn't understand the purpose of Pangu's exhortation, whether it was to make himself understand the meaning of cultivation, or to want him to be promoted to the Golden Immortal smoothly, and then help him be reincarnated, Zhang Yuan didn't understand, so he didn't think about it, after all, he was still a long way from the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, and he could completely figure out what he wanted on the way forward.
In just a short moment, Zixiao Zhenren relied on the magic weapon in the shape of the pagoda to successfully survive the third and fourth heavenly tribulations, and at this time, the pagoda also completed its mission and died under the thunder bombardment of the fourth heavenly tribulation.
In order to survive the tribulation, Zixiao Zhenren has been preparing for many years, of course, it can't be just such a magic weapon, when the pagoda became a fragment and fell, an umbrella-shaped magic weapon rose and appeared above Zixiao Zhenren's head again, successfully building a new defense between Zixiao Zhenren and the robbery clouds.
The fifth heavenly tribulation came as promised, when the thunder light landed on the umbrella-shaped magic weapon, only part of the thunder light continued to attack Zixiao Zhenren through the magic weapon, and most of the thunder light seemed to have encountered a mirror, and was directly rebounded by the umbrella magic weapon, and attacked towards the second thunder light that descended in the sky, and the two thunder lights met in the air, canceling out part of the power of the second thunder light, leaving only a small part to continue to land, and finally it was successfully blocked by the magic weapon.
The biggest function of the umbrella-shaped magic weapon may be to reflect, but its defense is a little poor, and it did not successfully protect the two heavenly tribulations like the pagoda, and fell apart under the last thunder light of the fifth heavenly tribulation, following in the footsteps of the pagoda.
A rare respite came, Zixiao Zhenren took out a jade bottle from his arms, took out a white pill and swallowed it in his mouth, it turned out that Zixiao Zhenren was also a little too consumed after the five-fold tribulation, and he could only rely on the pill to restore his strength during the interval of this tribulation, just like the clouds above the sky, Zixiao Zhenren must always remain at his peak, after all, the real test has just begun, whether he can successfully survive the tribulation and promote to the Golden Immortal depends on his performance later。
Without too much time to delay, after taking the pill and simply pranayama, Zixiao Zhenren took out a thing again, this time the thing was not a magic weapon, but a paper-like existence, the paper began to grow rapidly after leaving Zixiao Zhenren's hand, when the paper became ten meters square, it stopped continuing to change, swaying, the paper fell on the ground, Zixiao Zhenren immediately stood on it, until this time, no one in the crowd of people watching the ceremony recognized it, it turned out that this paper turned out to be a array, a formation that can be released anytime and anywhere, it seems that this is still a little uneasy, Zixiao Zhenren took out a magic weapon again and let it levitate above his head, so that even if the formation lost its effect, he would not face the catastrophe in a hurry.
At the beginning, the formation also emitted a faint light, but when the clouds began to absorb the aura of the surrounding heaven and earth, the faint light emitted by the formation was absorbed by the clouds, like a cold wind blowing out the weak oil lamp flames, and the last bit of light in this world was taken away again.
'Bi Zixiao Zhenren's heart actually felt a burst of despair, at this moment, the terrifying coercion between heaven and earth is definitely not something that his own formation can face and resist, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation is too great, and it is only the sixth layer at this moment, and the power is already stronger than the strongest Heavenly Tribulation that appeared in the Source Realm before, as if the world is over, the Heavenly Tribulation has increased exponentially, and the laws that I knew before seem to have completely lost their effect at this moment, for some reason, there is a shadow of death in Zixiao Zhenren's heart.
In the face of such a terrifying catastrophe, Zixiao Zhenren knew that as long as the formation could stick to it, then he would be safe and sound, so he must not let the formation be destroyed, Zixiao Zhenren at this moment regretted a little, if his pagoda and reflective umbrella could be left at this moment, the chances of his safety would increase a lot, but it was too late.
Thunder flashed, a thigh-thick lightning slashed the heavens and the earth, and slashed down towards Zixiao Zhenren, in that flash of light, Zixiao Zhenren clearly saw a black shadow shrouded in a cloak, suddenly, Zixiao Zhenren somewhat understood, why the Heavenly Tribulation would suddenly increase, it turned out that someone did not want to succeed, so the hidden identity entered the scope of the Heavenly Tribulation, and the Heavenly Tribulation thought that this was the Tribulator who chose to ask for help from others, so the Tribulation directly increased to the weight of the two Tribulators.
The black shadow shrouded in the cloak was not only seen by Zixiao Zhenren, but all the people who watched the ceremony close to the scope of the Heavenly Tribulation all saw that figure, and all the people were shocked at this moment, Zixiao Zhenren was afraid that it would be difficult to escape this time, if there was still hope before, then what filled their hearts at this moment was full of disappointment, but everyone didn't know where that person was sacred, and the black Heavenly Tribulation successfully hid his identity, this time I don't know if the Cultivator Alliance can check the background of the person.
Although Zixiao Zhenren was already doomed to failure, the people who watched the ceremony did not leave, after all, such a powerful Heavenly Tribulation was really rare to see, they wanted to see how much Zixiao Zhenren could hold onto, after all, if there was a precedent for Zixiao Zhenren, everyone could still push down whether this non-Heavenly Immortal Realm could successfully cross the tribulation.
After seeing the saboteur, Zixiao Zhenren's heart was sad, and full of anger, for this time the catastrophe, Zixiao Zhenren can be said to be quite well prepared, because he has not crossed the catastrophe for a long time, but everyone thinks that he is a cowardly person, if he is just an ordinary cultivator, forget it, but he is not, he is the former master of Chaoyangmen, and he represents Chaoyangmen, so how can he blacken Chaoyangmen's face, rob himself must cross, just to slap the faces of those rumormons, Zixiao Zhenren has never wasted a penny of time, since Zixiao Zhenren came down from the position of the door master, has been preparing for the catastrophe, whether it is the magic weapon of defense, the elixir of recovery, or the realm of his own strength, Zixiao Zhenren has already achieved the ultimate in what he can do, how can he be willing to fail like this at this moment.
Thinking of this, Zixiao Zhenren took out all the pills he had prepared before from his clothes, and poured them into his mouth in one go, letting those violent energies rage in his body, all the magic weapons conceived in the dantian came out of his body, densely surrounded by the formation, Zixiao Zhenren was determined to make a desperate bet, even if his collection for many years was exhausted, he would step into the Golden Immortal。
The tribulation thunder light slashed down one after another, and every time it fell, a few magic weapons would be eclipsed, and then it fell weakly on the tribulation plain, the sixth, the seventh, in the blink of an eye, when the tribulation began to absorb energy again, Zixiao Zhenren finally had a chance to breathe, and at the same time secretly exhaled a breath in his heart.
Although the enhanced version of the Sixth Heavenly Tribulation and the Seventh Heavenly Tribulation made Zixiao Zhenren's magic weapon lose most of it, it also allowed Zixiao Zhenren to successfully keep the formation, looking at the few magic weapons floating in the sky, Zixiao Zhenren rekindled hope, maybe, maybe, maybe he can really successfully survive the Heavenly Tribulation and advance to the Golden Immortal Realm.
The eighth heavenly tribulation began, this time the heavenly tribulation seemed to have the power to destroy the heavens and the earth, just the first thunder light, which made the sky above Zixiao Zhenren's head brighten, and the magic weapon that was suspended before was blasted clean, and at this moment, there was only one formation left between Zixiao Zhenren and the tribulation cloud, but now it was only the eighth heavenly tribulation, and the hope that had just been re-raised was once again shattered by this ruthless fact.
Zhang Yuan sighed a little, perhaps, without the appearance of that mysterious figure, Zixiao Zhenren would really be able to successfully survive the catastrophe, but now it seems that there is not much hope, I don't know if the magic weapon has been exhausted Zixiao Zhenren still has a back hand, however, the hope is also not big, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but secretly guess that if he was Zixiao Zhenren, he would definitely not be impulsive at that time, maybe his magic weapons were taken out one by one, and he could last longer, after all, manipulating so many magic weapons at the same time could not fully exert his full strength, of course, all this was just his own speculation, Maybe if you only use one magic weapon to block, it is also possible to be killed by the Heavenly Tribulation before the magic weapon is destroyed and another magic weapon is not taken out, but unfortunately, a saboteur appeared.
"Where are the disciples of Chaoyangmen?" suddenly sounded a summoning voice in the darkness.
"In!" The shouts were deafening, and Zhang Yuan didn't know how many Chaoyangmen disciples were in the darkness answering the summoner order.
The second thunder light of the eighth layer began to brew in the sky, and suddenly, a figure rushed towards the sky, first of all, the magic weapon hit the clouds, but the magic weapon approached the clouds, as if the clouds had become illusory, the magic weapon passed directly through the clouds, the owner of the magic weapon was stunned, this is the first time to know, it turned out that when the robbery, other people could not help even if they wanted to, at this moment, the thunder light had begun to emerge outside the clouds, the figure didn't have time to think too much, and rushed directly towards the thunder light, the thunder light hit his body directly, but there was still a small part of the thunder light continued to fall down, bombarded the formation outside Zixiao's real body, and the figure fell from the sky, but the shout of the figure before intercepting the thunder light with his body was still floating in the air.
"Chaoyangmen, Chu Yu!"
A third ray of lightning began to fall.
"Chaoyangmen, Xiao Zhen!"
Fourth and Fifth Paths、...... Until the ninth thunder light, every time a Chaoyang Sect disciple used his body to block the thunder light, just like that, Zixiao Zhenren finally succeeded in surviving the eighth heavenly tribulation, but at this moment, Zixiao Zhenren's face was already full of tears.
After the eighth tribulation passed, the tribulation plain gradually brightened, of course, the tribulation cloud did not dissipate, and the tribulation cloud was still dark, but this tribulation cloud was constantly condensed, and gradually condensed into a lightning-like tribulation cloud as thick as a finger, everyone knew that the ninth tribulation was about to begin, and this will also be the last tribulation, as long as this heavy tribulation was continued, Zixiao Zhenren could become a veritable golden immortal.
Many people in the crowd began to gradually move towards the range shrouded by the calamity clouds, obviously Chaoyangmen still wanted to be serious, even if a large number of disciples were sacrificed, they must let Zixiao Zhenren succeed in the tribulation, but everyone waited for a long time, and there was no movement in the heavenly calamity, as if the tribulator had been forgotten, after all, this was the first time in thousands of years that the ninth heavenly tribulation appeared in the source realm, and no one knew what the specific situation would be, and the crowd gradually began to whisper.
Some people speculate that this time the waiting time is longer because the clouds are gathering more power, and the energy absorbed by such a catastrophe will no longer be just the aura of the surrounding heaven and earth, maybe the clouds are absorbing the power of the rules, so the time required to absorb will be longer, and some people speculate that such a long blank period is not the relationship between the clouds, but because the people who are in the clouds at this moment may have lost their souls, and what remains under the clouds is only the body of the robbers, and the clouds can't feel the soul of the raiders, so they will stop temporarily。
After listening to everyone's discussions, Zhang Yuan looked up at Zixiao Zhenren under the clouds, indeed as everyone said, the Zixiao Zhenren at this moment seemed to really only leave a shell, standing in the formation without any reaction, at this moment, it seemed that even breathing had stopped.
Suddenly, a breath appeared on the body of Zixiao Zhenren, who had been standing still, and the breath gradually rose, the day after tomorrow, the earth immortal (congenital), the true immortal (broken fan), the heavenly immortal (broken void), when the breath on Zixiao Zhenren's body rose to the realm of heavenly immortals, it actually stopped, but this pause did not last long, and then the breath began to rise again, although the rise was very slow, but it was still rising, the early stage of the immortals, the middle stage of the immortals, the late stages of the immortals, Heavenly Immortal Great Perfection, boom, with a soft sound, it seemed that a water bottle had been broken, and the breath on Zixiao Zhenren's body had directly broken through the Heavenly Immortal, and he was truly promoted to a Golden Immortal.
"Golden Immortal!" The crowd at the scene began to stir, sure enough, the legend is true, after the tribulation, you can be promoted to a golden immortal, for the first time, in front of the public in the source realm, a cultivator was successfully promoted to a golden immortal, and finally, the road after the heavenly immortal finally appeared, this is the beginning of a new era, Zixiao Zhenren created a new era.
When Zixiao Zhenren slowly opened his eyes, a golden light shot out from Zixiao Zhenren's eyes, and slowly raised his head, Zixiao Zhenren looked at the tribulation clouds in the sky, Zixiao Zhenren knew that his Heavenly Tribulation was still not completely over, and there was still the ninth Heavenly Tribulation waiting for him, as long as he resisted the ninth Heavenly Tribulation, he would be a real Golden Immortal Realm cultivator.
With Zixiao Zhenren's gaze, everyone looked up at the tribulation clouds that still existed in the sky, and everyone understood that this was the last test, among them, the disciples of Chaoyangmen were the most excited, after all, in order to survive the previous eighth heavenly tribulation, Chaoyangmen had already sacrificed eight disciples, and now the sacrifice of the eight disciples was not in vain, how could they not be excited, of course, they also knew that this was not the time for them to celebrate, this last heavenly tribulation, even if it was a disciple who sacrificed more, he must help Zixiao Zhenren get through。
The clouds in the sky were still condensing, and finally stopped completely when the clouds were condensed into a needle-thick thickness, and then, the clouds began to land on their own, and although the speed of the landing was very slow, the pressure was getting bigger and bigger.
Everyone felt the terrifying power contained in the clouds, and the disciples of Chaoyangmen rushed forward at this time, and more than a dozen people flew directly into the sky, blocking Zixiao Zhenren with their bodies, just for the successful promotion of Zixiao Zhenren.
Silently, the clouds crashed into the body of the first person, and a dazzling light emanated, the light obscured all the other colors on the Tribulation Plain, and at this moment, everyone's glasses were difficult to see, even Zhang Yuan's Tianyantong, who was also illuminated by this light, could not see anything.
