Volume 1: The Abyss of Life and Death

Chapter 1: The Tribulation

The reckless mountains and forests, verdant and vigorous, the turquoise ocean ripples with the wind, like layers of big waves, stacked towards the distant sky.

In the middle of this blue sea, an inconspicuous hill stands like a stubborn rock, withstanding the impact of the blue waves, perseverance and unyielding. On top of the mountain bag, a young man in a white robe sat cross-legged, like a rock, as if he had integrated into this piece of heaven and earth, giving people a feeling of naturalness. The breeze blew lightly, and lifted the long ink-like hair, revealing a delicate and somewhat resolute face. His eyes were closed, and there seemed to be an aura swirling between his eyebrows, with a hint of mystery.

Suddenly, the closed eyes opened, and two substantial spiritual lights erupted, as if a sharp sword slashed through the void, leaving only two white marks to slowly disperse.

The young man got up, stood with his hands in his hands, the breeze was blowing, his clothes were flying, and he was arrogant.

"It's time. A voice came out of the young man's mouth, with a little excitement and a little melancholy.

"The Emperor...... Dao ......" The young man looked up at the sky, his eyes were blazing, and a voice came out of his mouth, reaching the sky. Then a powerful momentum rose to the sky, as the young man said, belonging to the emperor's momentum, the emperor's majesty.

"Boom ......"

At this moment, a loud noise came from the heavenly dome, sweeping the world with the momentum of a landslide and a crack. At some point, the wind howled on the earth, the turquoise ocean set off layers of huge waves, rolling and covering, and the giant trees that rose from the ground groaned and swayed, as if they could not withstand the ravages of this hurricane.

However, the white figure was still as immovable as a mountain, only the inky black hair and snow-like clothes kept flying. Looking at the light of his eyes, the originally cloudless sky has become cloudy at some point. The churning black clouds rolled in, condensed in the sky above the young man, and became thicker and thicker, and a force of heaven and earth spread from it, causing all the birds and beasts of the earth to tremble, and even worse, prostrate on the ground.

"The royal road, the imperial road, I don't think your royal road tribulation is not very good, and it is only slightly higher than the royal road tribulation. Seeing this, the young man spat out a voice with a hint of disdain.

"Boom ......"

The thunderclouds rolled, as if because of the contemptuous anger of the youth, and the black clouds were like ink, roaring like monstrous beasts. Suddenly, a bucket-sized heavenly thunderbolt slashed down angrily, heading straight for the top of the young man's head. Accompanied by the thunder was a coercion that seemed to be a substance, and the coercion was so shocking that the hurricane that swept the earth stopped for an instant, not to mention the birds and beasts that were all prostrate.

The young man didn't hear this, just smiled lightly and opened his mouth, and spit out a voice: "Ice." ”

As the words fell, the heavens and the earth suddenly froze, and an ice spike rose from the ground, rushing towards the lightning that was flying down from the sky.

"Boom ......"

With a loud bang, ice splashes and thunder surged, and both dissipated at the same time, annihilating between heaven and earth.

"No temptation. Seeing this, the young man said softly, as if he was talking to the ink clouds in the sky, and as if he was talking to himself.

The thunderclouds rolled, and seemed to know that the usual attack was useless, so they couldn't help but stop attacking. However, this does not mean giving up, but accumulating thunder and waiting for the arrival of peak power.

Sure enough, the black clouds rolled, the heavens and the earth suddenly darkened, the hurricane was like a rag, constantly cutting and tearing the earth, and the branches of the trees splashed, as if the end of the world was coming. However, the handsome young man was unmoved, still standing like a rock, but an invisible momentum erupted in vain, isolating the raging hurricane.

"Come on......" the young man muttered to himself at the thunderclouds in the sky, he knew that this beastly thundercloud was about to rain down the real thunder heavenly punishment.

"Boom ......"

Sure enough, the thunder rang out, the black thunderclouds surged, and the bucket-like heavenly thunder swept towards the young man, carrying endless coercion, and the heavens and the earth were suddenly shocked.

The young man looked at the dense thunder that swept in, and his delicate brows couldn't help frowning slightly, obviously, this power made him a little moved.

"Sword ......"

A voice suddenly came out of the young man's mouth, and in response to the sound was a cold and awe-inspiring long sword. With the long sword in his hand, the sword qi erupted, the cold aura was awe-inspiring, and a cold sword qi like a substance rushed towards the swept thunder net.

However, the imaginary explosion did not appear, and the sword qi that struck the dense thunder net seemed to sink into the sea, only the ripples of the circle of thunder, and then it was annihilated in the sea of thunder.

"Hmph......" Seeing this, the young man couldn't help but snort coldly. A powerful and resolute sword intent erupted in vain, filled with the will to pierce the sky, with the cold air of the frozen world, and at the same time, an imperial road that was not inferior to the thunder cloud rushed straight up, colliding with the thunder power.

"Bang ......"

The figure that seemed to be unchanged for eternity also stepped on the ground angrily, flew up, and rushed towards the thunder of the heavenly dome, carrying the earth-shattering sword qi to meet it. This scene was really terrifying and abnormal, and this was the Emperor's Heavenly Tribulation that terrified countless cultivators, and he even dared to fight hard.

"Ice Sword...... Optimus. ”

A voice came out of the young man's mouth, and at the same time, a cold and cold aura also gathered around his body, and then gathered on the three-foot long sword, the sword aura was awe-inspiring, and the three-foot long sword suddenly covered infinite frost, becoming extremely huge, and it was truly the ice sword powerhouse.

"Boom" The thunder broke, the sword qi flew sideways, and pieces ......of ice flowers bloomed, and a rain of ice crystals suddenly fell between the heavens and the earth.

This is the collision of ice and thunder, the confrontation between sword qi and heavenly calamity, and it is also a battle between man and sky. Those who practice do not seek anything else, but only eternity. The way of eternity is not only to fight with people, but also to fight with heaven. Victory is eternal, defeat is gone.

And the heavenly tribulation is one of the tribulations on the path of cultivation, and if you get through it, you will have stronger strength, but if you can't survive it, then you will only be forgotten by future generations in the long river of annihilation and time.

And the Heavenly Tribulation that this young man has endured is one of the three major Thunder Tribulations, the second ranked Imperial Road Tribulation. Before it was the Royal Dao Heavenly Tribulation, and after that, there was an even more dangerous Imperial Dao Thunder Tribulation, which could be described as difficult step by step.

"Breaking the ......" The young man shouted angrily, the bear sound rolled, and the thunder net in the sky also broke in response, but the ice giant sword also dissipated between heaven and earth.

Neck and neck.

However, the young man did not relax because of this, without him, the thunderclouds above his head had not yet dispersed, and they were still like ink, and the thunder tribulation had not yet ended.

"I didn't expect the Imperial Road Tribulation to be so difficult. The young man's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he whispered to himself, "Compared to the royal road tribulation in the past, it is more than dozens of times stronger, but you can imagine how powerful the emperor road tribulation will be in the future." The path of cultivation is indeed the path against the sky. ”

The thunderclouds in the sky did not disperse, and there was no longer the same irritability as before, but the young man's face became more and more serious. Before the storm, it is always calm, because it is necessary to gather momentum, to gather the momentum of heaven and earth.

Suddenly, the young man had a shocked expression on his face. It turned out that the thunderclouds in the sky were moving, but they were not irritable, but slowly gathered towards the center, like the flow of water. Gradually, the thunderclouds became smaller and smaller, and the heavens and the earth became more and more calm, and finally the thunderclouds became only the size of the abbot, and when they entered the eyes, they were thick black liquids, no longer as black as ink, but with a touch of purple. The inky black thundercloud of several miles in size turned into a purple-black liquid the size of the abbot, how much power does it take to condense it here, this is the heavenly power that mortals will never be able to refer to.

The young man looked at this scene coldly, but he was still not too frightened, and it was not until a drop of liquid glowing with purple brilliance slowly fell from the center of the thunder liquid that his face finally changed.

"This ...... This is...... potential!"

The slowly falling purple-black droplets were like an old man in the twilight at the moment, and they were extremely slow. But the young man knew that this droplet had locked him, not to mention that there was no escape from the catastrophe, even if he ran to the ends of the earth, he couldn't get rid of it, because it contained the potential, the general trend of heaven and earth, and the momentum of thunder, there was no way to avoid it, there was no escape, only to face it.

The young man knew that even if he caught this blow, he would inevitably be hit hard, not to mention that there were so many thunder liquids in the sky that he didn't know if it would fall, if the enemy found out that he was hit hard, the consequences would be unimaginable.

So now the only way out is to comprehend the situation yourself, so that you can turn the danger into a disaster. But to comprehend the potential that countless people dream of before the liquid falls, it is almost impossible, only those who are close to demons have hope, and it is only hopeful.

The young man ...... "Momentum" fell into thought, "I think my sword has reached its peak, but I haven't been able to take this step for a long time, what's the problem?"

"Think of me Han Yuechen, since I crossed into this Yuanling Continent, I have cultivated for sixteen years, and I have reached the realm of the Yuanhuang now, and I am also a genius, how can I be blocked by this Emperor Dao Heavenly Tribulation now, I want to Lingyun Wanli, the existence of the sword world. ”

That's right, this young man is Han Yuechen, who traveled from the earth and retains all the memories of his time on the earth, as well as the soul of the previous life. That's why he is such a genius, and he has reached the realm of countless people looking up to in just over ten years, but this is not all due to the strength of his talent, Han Yuechen has also experienced countless battles, more precisely, he has experienced a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and only then has his current strength.

No matter when and where, there is always a unbearable past behind the powerful.

Time passed slowly, and the purple-black thunder liquid was getting closer and closer, just so ordinary, indifferently and slowly falling. But Han Yuechen still hadn't comprehended the momentum, and he didn't have time anymore.

"Whether it's life or death, it depends on this time, it's a big deal to go back to Cloud City to hide, with those two here, I believe that those hustle and bustle are also over. ”

Han Yuechen thought in his heart, as if he thought of something, and his eyes suddenly flashed with an inexplicable light.

"Ice ......"

A voice came out of Han Yuechen's mouth, carrying a chilling meaning. He didn't want to wait any longer, if he waited for the thunder liquid to reach the top of his head, the momentum would reach its peak, and there would be no chance of winning.

As soon as the sound fell, the temperature around him dropped suddenly, and in an instant, the earth was filled with ice crystals and frost. A huge icicle rose from the ground and slammed towards the purple-black thunder liquid not far above Cold Moon Chen's head.

"......"

When the thunder liquid touched the icicle, it did not explode, and the thunder droplet did not dissipate, but the icicle melted sharply and turned into ice crystals and snow water.

In this regard, Han Yuechen was not too surprised, and the powerful attack would naturally not be easily broken.

Holding the cold sword in his hand, Han Yuechen's body slowly rose into the air, and the cold sword qi gathered around his body, cutting the surrounding space, and the sword qi was cold, and a little ice crystal appeared, beautiful and mysterious.

"Ice Sword...... Frost. ”

Han Yuechen let out a low cry, and suddenly burst out with a terrifying sword qi, carrying the sword qi ice crystals around him, and stabbed towards the calm liquid in the air. The sword qi and the ice crystals fused together, like an epidemic rain, dense as a curtain, just for the lightning droplets to collide in an instant.

"......"

One after another, the icy sword qi slashed through the thunder liquid, but it was unmoved, and it still fell slowly, until the three-foot long sword in Han Yuechen's hand collided with it, it stopped, and a trace of purple-black fine thunder appeared, making a "bang" sound.

Han Yuechen only felt a powerful force spread along the long sword to his body, and the corners of his mouth overflowed with blood, and he was injured.

"How can you retreat, how can you give up?" Feeling the pain in his body, Han Yuechen's strength gradually became weaker.

"......Momentum" thinks back to the past, swinging the sword again and again, fighting again and again, from the original, the most primitive moves to today's gorgeous sword moves, gradually becoming stronger, but why does it feel that the distance is getting farther and farther away?

"I see. Suddenly, Han Yuechen realized, "Too much gorgeousness, the essence of the sword has long been lost, the most primitive is the most primordial, this is the potential, the momentum of my sword." ”

At this moment, the cold ice sword qi and sword qi ice crystals around Han Yuechen's body suddenly dissipated, as if they had never appeared before. A powerful and mysterious momentum also erupted from Han Yuechen's body, full of primordial flavor, there was only one sword between heaven and earth, the sword in Han Yuechen's hand.

The illusory sword qi turned into substance at this moment, and a faint ice blue color was emitted from the three-foot long sword, and in just an instant, the originally incomparable thunder liquid was penetrated, and in an instant, it collapsed into thunder lines, naturally dissipating and annihilating.
