Chapter 186: Crimson Pupil Invades the World
Black clouds layered upon layered, all kinds of Heavenly Tribulations so bizarre to the extreme that none had ever seen them before, continuously descended upon Li Tianwei’s body.
No one would have imagined that the one undergoing such a tribulation would be a mere Golden Core cultivator. Only those great powers with accomplished cultivation could understand what Li Tianwei was enduring at this very moment.
Such terrifying varieties of myriad tribulations were enough to make a cultivator at the peak of the Union Realm die countless times over.
Yet now, when such horrifying Heavenly Tribulations fell upon Li Tianwei, it was like ten thousand rivers converging into the sea without raising even the slightest ripple.
That was right. Even when facing Heavenly Tribulations that had been seized and controlled by Evil Demons, forcibly driving all kinds of tribulations down upon him, he still stood tall.
One could even see a trace of enjoyment appear on his face, as if he were saying that this was exhilarating enough.
“No wonder it is the Nascent Soul Tribulation. This finally matches my status. So much energy— isn’t this just perfect?”
Although his Seven Apertures were sealed and all perceptions dissolved, for Li Tianwei, there was no need to look with his eyes or sense with awareness. He knew that this time was extremely beneficial to him.
“Come then. Become my nourishment.”
As the Heavenly Tribulation descended, the hundred Dao Intents surrounding Li Tianwei’s Golden Core within his body continuously extended and sank into the Golden Core itself. Fine cracks emerged, and the original Nascent Soul inside could no longer be seen.
There was only a stretch of void— empty, hollow, yet paradoxically possessing tangible existence.
A massive gravitational force continuously grew stronger. The Wind Tribulation that had previously blown into Li Tianwei’s Spirit Platform was also dragged in and swallowed.
The Heaven-incinerating dark Netherfire Tribulation was likewise dissipating. The Void Emptiness revealed within the cracks of his Golden Core continuously devoured everything.
What tribulation was there? Where was any tribulation at all? They were merely energy that Li Tianwei deemed necessary.
Nothing was purer than Heavenly Tribulation.
That void, hollow Nascent Soul continued to expand completely, devouring endless pure power like a glutton.
Most importantly, once things entered it, one could visibly see the Nascent Soul continuously solidifying.
Ten thousand tribulations invading the body caused no harm. At this point, even the crimson eye in the heavens that had been locked onto Li Tianwei had not expected that these Heavenly Tribulations would have no effect on him whatsoever.
Visibly, the pupil grew increasingly vicious. Behind it, crimson tentacles plunged deeply into heaven and earth.
It seemed to have already made some kind of decision. The crimson pupil drew ever closer to this stretch of heaven and earth, invading it directly.
The sky could be seen turning dark purple and ominous. The previously roaring, terrifying Heavenly Tribulations actually came to a halt at this moment.
“Is it over?”
Below, the disciples and elders who were watching Li Tianwei undergo tribulation, gazing at this unprecedentedly magnificent spectacle, could not help but think so.
“Has First Seat Li achieved the Nascent Soul?”
“No, that’s not right. Why hasn’t this pressure stopped? Could there be more?”
Just as they were filled with doubt, a fissure appeared at the center of the layered dark clouds, cutting straight across.
As if the heavens had opened an eye, within the crack a streak of crimson pierced through everything. Ominousness filled it, and the stench of extreme evil seeped out. At this moment, all worldly resentment and malice were utterly insignificant before that crimson pupil.
Any cultivator who saw that streak of crimson— even the Sacred Lord of Lingxu and the others— instantly lost their composure. With the naked eye, one could see tentacle after tentacle continuously descending from the layered firmament above.
Evil thoughts, wicked thoughts, resentful thoughts, human thoughts……
So dense it was as if countless tens of thousands of years of negative emotions from the entire cultivation world had condensed together. These thoughts gathered at this moment and rushed straight toward Li Tianwei.
“The world has become filthy.”
Clang, crack……
A kind of power completely different from the pure spiritual power of the previous Heavenly Tribulations descended upon Li Tianwei’s body. Those tentacles blotted out the sky.
The Sacred Land of Lingxu, which originally appeared as pure and clear as an immortal domain, now looked as though it had fallen into an evil domain. Everything was tainted, ruined, empty, and an aura of absurdity spread throughout.
Blood-colored tentacles filled the sky, and a single crimson heavenly eye descended directly.
Everything was completely twisted into evil.
And time and space were utterly overturned.
At the same time, deep within the Sacred Land of Lingxu— a place that had not shown even the slightest disturbance when Li Tianwei had previously battled more than a dozen Union Realm Ancestors, or even when Nascent Soul power had erupted— three forces of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm erupted at this moment.
Yet before that spreading, seeping evil resentment power, they were wrapped up and swallowed in an instant, only struggling slightly longer than the Sacred Land of Lingxu itself.
The grand formation of the Sacred Land of Lingxu also shook desperately. The Sacred Lord of Lingxu, those at the Union Realm, and the disciples had long since sunk into corruption.
They were merely affected by the diffusing aura, and yet such terrifying energy and bizarre power still had Li Tianwei as its sole target.
【It’s over, it’s over. As expected, it was too fast. Even this kind of great terror has appeared.】
【I’ve even lost my connection with the host.】
【This world is too terrifying.】
Within this bizarre state of the Sacred Land of Lingxu, aside from Li Tianwei, only the System hidden deep within Li Tianwei’s consciousness remained unaffected.
However, it could do nothing now. Without Heavenly Blessing, it could not even create a single thing from data.
Most importantly, it had never expected that such a bizarre existence could still exist within this cultivation world.
It could at least sense that Li Tianwei had not yet been affected. Even so, given Li Tianwei’s current situation, what could he possibly do?
The System had already concluded that Li Tianwei calling it a piece of trash was entirely justified.
“Strange, why did it stop?”
“Could it be that the Heavenly Tribulation is over? But why does it feel so strange?”
At this moment, due to certain reasons, Li Tianwei’s Seven Apertures were sealed and his connection with the System was cut off. Under all kinds of terrifying and bizarre influences, he did not know what was happening outside.
He only knew that he was still undergoing tribulation— only that this tribulation seemed to have some problems.
Outside, the twisted crimson heavenly pupil and its extending tentacles had already descended to Li Tianwei’s side.
Yet strangely, they did not touch Li Tianwei’s body. When they fell upon heaven and earth, ripples spread, and then those blood-colored tentacles vanished.
At the same time, all kinds of bizarre, strange thoughts filling the sky, the evil of heaven and earth converging together, all surged into those blood-colored tentacles and simultaneously sank into the depths of Li Tianwei’s consciousness.
Boom……
Extreme evil, extreme malice, extreme thoughts all surged into Li Tianwei’s body.
This was not something as simple as the power of heaven-and-earth resentment. After being refined and transformed by the crimson pupil, these were the very source of ultimate evil, enough to pollute anything.
Naturally, such filthy things were extracted by the crimson pupil from the living beings of this world.
Human desires and thoughts— a place like the cultivation world was undoubtedly the best place to accumulate such things.
The unrestrained behavior of cultivators, the differences between humans and cultivators, all kinds of circumstances continuously piled up and expanded. Just a single thought was enough to bring calamity upon the world.
The crimson pupil’s ability was extremely strong, so strong that it could seal off the cultivation world. Yet it was also difficult for it to directly intervene within the cultivation world itself. It could only choose to use this world’s own methods to eradicate Li Tianwei.
The Heavenly Tribulation just now was one method. Now, this was another.
After what had happened in the Same-Origin Connection with the Evil Demons, Li Tianwei’s existence as an obstruction had become far too obvious.
