Chapter 185: Ten Thousand Tribulations Upon the Body
Rolling black clouds covered the world as they surged forth, layer upon layer stacking straight up into the heavens. Their heavy overlap was like the weight of the sky itself pressing down.
The entire Sacred Land of Lingxu was enveloped within them.
Purple light flashed, thunder roared, and a suffocating aura of destruction brewed within the clouds. This kind of pressure made one instinctively want to flee far away.
Five-colored mixed phenomena appeared, all kinds of terrifying visions continuously manifesting across the sky.
It was as if a Buddha slaughtered demons, immortals expanded the world, and demonic evils invaded the mortal realm…
One strange scene after another emerged, causing the people of the Sacred Land of Lingxu to reveal looks of confusion.
“Just what kind of heavenly tribulation is this?”
Looking at the abnormalities in the sky, at the surging, violent energy, no one could recognize this tribulation. Yet, at the same time, they could vaguely see shadows belonging to all kinds of heavenly tribulations within it.
The Sacred Lord of Lingxu and the others, as cultivators of the Union Realm, had experienced countless heavenly tribulations and seen even more. Yet the tribulation hanging over the sky today was something they truly could not discern.
At this very moment, they even had the illusion that Li Tianwei was undergoing an Ascension Tribulation.
But Li Tianwei was only at the Golden Core Realm! This was merely a Nascent Soul Tribulation, yet it was already so terrifying.
“Truly abnormal. Is this an Ascension Tribulation?”
Elder Ling looked at the thunderclouds in the sky through the ring and felt his scalp go numb. Back in his day, even the tribulations he had seen when Union Realm great powers broke through to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm had been no more than this.
“Your big brother is about to reach the Nascent Soul Realm.”
Thinking of this, Elder Ling could not help but send a voice transmission to Li Tianchen.
If it were in the past, Elder Ling felt that Li Tianchen would have been extremely unwilling upon hearing such teasing.
But now… Elder Ling shifted his gaze to Li Tianchen and saw only excitement and exhilaration on his face, without the slightest trace of his former state.
“Damn it, and he still says he hasn’t been brainwashed.”
Elder Ling could not help but think so, though it was useless.
Boom…
Just as they were still thinking, this heavenly tribulation, after only a brief brewing, already showed signs of descending.
Crack…
Purple lightning snakes flickered as an indescribable pressure slammed downward. Everyone thought heavenly lightning was about to fall.
The Sacred Lord of Lingxu, Bai Muxu, and the others instantly changed expressions. The heavenly lightning did not descend. Instead, they saw an invisible wind slowly blowing across the sky, as if it manifested within the seven apertures of the human body and deep inside the Spirit Platform.
This mutated tribulation, this strange wind sweeping past, made the Sacred Lord of Lingxu and the others feel their scalps go numb.
In that instant, they all had a premonition—once this wind touched them, their Spirit Platforms would likely be destroyed, and both their physical bodies and divine souls would be completely annihilated.
“What kind of tribulation is this?”
They stared in disbelief.
This bizarre heavenly tribulation descended, blowing straight toward Li Tianwei, its target extremely clear.
Li Tianwei himself had not expected that this tribulation would be so different from the previous ones. Shouldn’t it have been thick bolts of lightning descending?
How did it turn into… wind blowing?
The Wind Tribulation swept over, spiritual power collapsing, directly invading the seven apertures of the soul and the depths of the Spirit Platform, destroying everything outright.
In just an instant, Li Tianwei felt his seven apertures sealed and his six senses extinguished. This was completely different from any tribulation he had crossed before.
【Host, Host, this is bad—this is the Evil Demons’ method. They have seized control of the heavens…】
At this moment, even the System sensed that something was terribly wrong and urgently called out to warn Li Tianwei.
Yet in this instant, the System discovered something horrifying—its voice could not enter Li Tianwei’s will at all.
It was as if the Evil Demons’ power had completely sealed everything, cutting off communication between the System and Li Tianwei.
Li Tianwei did not know the System’s current condition. Instead, relying on his own terrifying strength, he resisted this demonic wind.
And this was only the beginning. In the blink of an eye, endless netherfire appeared in the sky. Guided by that strange, invisible wind, it surged and intensified, black flames as deep as an abyss burning the heavens and scorching the earth.
The aura of destruction twisted space itself, collapsing heaven and earth, as crack after crack appeared in midair.
Even from far away, one could feel that this fire was more terrifying than the power of a Tribulation Transcendence Realm tribulation—and it still did not stop.
Soon, illusory manifestations appearing in the sky began to descend one after another.
Dragons and phoenixes cried out together, Buddhas descended into the world…
One incomparably strange heavenly tribulation after another bombarded Li Tianwei, as if determined to put him to death completely.
“There’s something wrong with this heavenly tribulation.”
Seeing this, the Sacred Lord of Lingxu and the others frowned deeply, having discovered a grave problem.
They could not help but fix their gazes on the heavens. In that invisible exchange of looks, it was as if the Sacred Lord of Lingxu and the others saw some great terror. They abruptly covered their eyes.
“Ah—!”
A scream rang out as blood seeped from the corners of the Sacred Lord of Lingxu’s eyes—bloody tears—yet they still shouted for Li Tianwei to be careful.
“Li Tianwei… be careful…”
Unfortunately, when the wind descended, Li Tianwei’s seven apertures were sealed and his Spirit Platform was completely tainted. He could no longer perceive anything from the outside world.
Even the System’s voice had been severed from him. From this alone, one could see just how far the Evil Demons’ methods had progressed.
Facing this bizarre heavenly tribulation, Li Tianwei felt none of the fear that the Sacred Lord of Lingxu and the others did.
After all, in the eyes of cultivators, heavenly tribulations were the most terrifying existence. One careless mistake meant eternal damnation.
Yet in Li Tianwei’s eyes, this tribulation was far better than the one he had faced after emerging from the Forbidden Land of Taixu last time—at least this one was worthy of him.
Very strong. Extremely strong. The stronger, the better. In Li Tianwei’s understanding, the stronger the tribulation, the better the foundation laid, and the greater the rewards gained after surviving it.
Thus, as the Wind Tribulation descended, the Fire Tribulation descended, the Illusory Manifestation Tribulation descended…
Li Tianwei still stood unshaken. He did not fear the difficulty of this tribulation. Instead, he grew even more excited.
But above the heavens, above the heavenly tribulation, no one knew that a single crimson pupil was staring fixedly at Li Tianwei.
“Die die die die…”
If Li Tianwei’s seven apertures and Spirit Platform had not been sealed, he might have immediately understood why this tribulation was so “generous.”
Was this not the very thing he had encountered when he previously intruded upon the Same-Origin Connection of the Evil Demons? That bizarre crimson pupil.
No one would have imagined that this heavenly tribulation had been seized and controlled by the Evil Demons.
It was even unclear whether the Heavenly Dao itself had already fallen into the Evil Demons’ blockade.
The Wind Tribulation swept, the Fire Tribulation burned the heavens, lightning shadows eroded…
All kinds of bizarre tribulations fell relentlessly, completely ignoring the fact that the one below was merely at the Golden Core Realm.
The only tribulation not yet added was the Ascension Tribulation.
If one were to describe the tribulation Li Tianwei was currently undergoing, calling it ten thousand tribulations upon the body would not be an exaggeration.
From minor Golden Core Tribulations to major Union Realm Tribulation Transcendence Tribulations…
No matter what level of tribulation it was, all descended together. Even terrifying tribulations never before discovered or triggered in the cultivation world manifested at this moment.
The sky shone in five colors, the sun and moon lost their light…
Rumble rumble…
