Chapter 216 : Triggering the Ascension Tribulation

Chapter 216: Triggering the Ascension Tribulation

The transformation from void to reality, the activation of the Prison Heaven Divine Power—at the instant Li Tianwei revealed his Manifestation, the six fundamental forces of the west enveloped the entire Sacred Land of Lingxu.

At this moment, it was as if the entire Sacred Land of Lingxu had detached itself from the original cultivation world and was completely severed.

Within Li Tianwei’s Void Emptiness Manifestation, a thousand stars were ignited, spreading across the firmament and fully manifesting as Celestial stars.

A thousand stars illuminated the world. Li Tianwei stood at the center of heaven and earth, and at this moment all the colors of the world appeared upon his body.

Ancestor Xutian and the other four wanted to escape—Li Tianwei naturally knew this.

If just now the five Tribulation Transcendence Realm cultivators had fled immediately, Li Tianwei truly would have had no way to stop them.

Although his methods were numerous, the Tribulation Transcendence Realm was still the Tribulation Transcendence Realm. They wielded laws, could avoid calamities and the five disasters, stack space to disengage—Li Tianwei could not block them.

But now, they could no longer escape. A thousand intentions converged and were imposed into the Prison Heaven Divine Power. Then, using the thousand stars within the Nascent Soul Manifestation, he constructed a force that completely isolated the outside world. At this step, they had no way out.

Looking at the densely packed forces in the sky that twisted heaven and earth, even dragging the Sacred Land of Lingxu entirely upward—

Ancestor Xutian and the four had already realized something. Originally, they had wanted to leave the Sacred Land of Lingxu with a single thought, but now all connections to the external laws had been completely severed.

Within their perception there was only chaos and disorder. It was obvious that this was Li Tianwei’s handiwork.

“Can’t escape.”

Ancestor Xutian could not help but mutter, while looking at Daoist Master Miaohua and the other two, then at Li Tianwei who stood in midair wielding a thousand stars.

He had originally thought that by calling in three Tribulation Transcendence cultivators from the Demonic Sect Territory, together with the Tribulation Transcendence Ancestors of the Three Sacred Lands, they would certainly be able to take down Li Tianwei.

Yet now, in just a single exchange, Heartless Old Demon and Elder Kongxuan had already been taken down, even becoming nourishment for Li Tianwei.

Now even heaven and earth had been sealed. In an instant, offense and defense had reversed.

Daoist Master Miaohua and the other two were much the same. To this day, they still could not understand how Li Tianwei had done it.

Clearly, inside the Sacred Land of Lingxu, while facing the chaotic Tribulation Transcendence Ancestors, he had been suppressed. How was it that once outside, everything was different?

“Come on! Let me enjoy myself a bit.”

After dealing with two figures Li Tianwei detested, he did not forget the matter of using Tribulation Transcendence cultivators for cultivation, and spoke directly.

Hearing Li Tianwei’s words, Ancestor Xutian’s pupils shrank, and the other three Tribulation Transcendence cultivators were much the same.

After all, they were powerhouses who had lived nearly ten thousand years. When had they ever been treated like this?

Yet facing Li Tianwei, all they felt was profound powerlessness. This monster was simply impossible to defeat.

Even in the face of Li Tianwei’s provocation, Ancestor Xutian and the four did not make a move, remaining where they were.

As for Li Tianwei, he did not care about that at all. He lightly raised his hand and waved it toward them.

Driven by Li Tianwei, the thousand stars behind him ignited with firelight and, in unison, fell straight toward the direction of Ancestor Xutian and the four.

“Li Tianwei, anything can be discussed. We are the Ancestors of the Three Sacred Lands. If you are willing, we can have the Three Sacred Lands defect to the Sacred Land of Lingxu—no problem.”

“If possible, we can even, under your guidance, dominate the entire Northern Spirit Domain.”

Seeing this scene, Ancestor Xutian was already panicking, and the other three were much the same.

“It’s fine. Even if you die, you can still serve me.”

Li Tianwei wore a smile as he pointed toward the Saint Soul Banner within the Sacred Land of Lingxu, as well as the evil souls that were struggling within it.

Hearing Li Tianwei say this, and seeing the scene beneath the Saint Soul Banner, the evil souls under Li Tianwei’s control—

Ancestor Xutian and the four could not help but swallow. They had thought about being defeated by Li Tianwei, even about submitting to him, but they did not want to die, did not want to be refined into that state.

They were Tribulation Transcendence cultivators! As long as they passed the Ascension Tribulation, they would become Immortals!

They were clearly just one step away—just a little more.

How could Ancestor Xutian and the others be willing to accept this?

“No, we don’t want to become like that. We’re about to become Immortals. We’re Tribulation Transcendence Realm!”

“This can’t be allowed!”

“Li Tianwei, listen to me, it was the Sacred Lord of Baiyuan, it was him who said—”

At this moment, Ancestor Xutian had already fallen into utter confusion, speaking without restraint.

Unfortunately, how could Li Tianwei listen to this? The smile on his face remained bright as ever.

Very soon, the thousand stars in the firmament fell straight down, smashing toward the four of them.

Boom—

Li Tianwei’s offensive arrived. Even facing such despair-inducing power, Ancestor Xutian and the four unleashed all kinds of methods.

“You forced me to do this, Li Tianwei.”

At this moment, Ancestor Xutian seemed to have made some decision. With anger in his eyes, he glared straight at Li Tianwei and shouted.

As his words fell, above the thousand stars controlled by Li Tianwei, it seemed that wind and clouds surged, and purple lightning flickered.

“Hahahaha! Li Tianwei, even in death I’ll drag you down with me.”

“The Ascension Tribulation—I’ll send you on your way!”

Ancestor Xutian no longer cared about anything else. Compared to death, he would rather directly trigger the Ascension Tribulation and drag Li Tianwei into the Heavenly Tribulation with him.

Boom, rumble—

Under Ancestor Xutian’s pull, heavenly clouds rolled, and a pressure of the Heavenly Dao was released from the firmament.

A power sufficient to annihilate everything was brewing in midair.

Watching this change, Ancestor Xutian could no longer suppress his wild laughter.

“So what if you’re an unprecedented Heaven-Defying Genius? Under the Ascension Tribulation, you’ll still be reduced to ashes.”

At the moment the Heavenly Tribulation was triggered, Ancestor Xutian expected to see despair and terror on Li Tianwei’s face. Unfortunately, Li Tianwei’s expression did not change in the slightest, still maintaining that calm, unruffled demeanor.

There was not the least bit of panic because of the Ascension Tribulation.

“Is that so?”

Hearing Ancestor Xutian’s words, Li Tianwei merely spoke leisurely.

Seeing Li Tianwei like this, Ancestor Xutian did not know why, but he felt an ominous premonition.

He could not help but raise his head to look at the firmament. The dense pressure of heaven and earth continued to compress, and the terrifying energy of the Ascension Tribulation kept gathering.

Yet there was not the slightest sign of it striking down.

At this moment, Ancestor Xutian was already panicking.

“What’s going on? You can even control the Ascension Tribulation?”

Ancestor Xutian seemed to think of something inconceivable and could not help but exclaim in shock.

Li Tianwei, seeing this, simply shook his head.

The brewing Ascension Tribulation did not descend. Instead, the thousand stars behind Li Tianwei took a step ahead.

Boom—

Under Li Tianwei’s command, the thousand stars fell straight down, smashing toward Ancestor Xutian and the four Tribulation Transcendence cultivators.

“What exactly is going on?”

Ancestor Xutian, who had triggered the Ascension Tribulation, was full of confusion. Daoist Master Miaohua and the other two were the same, unable to understand why the Ascension Tribulation had not descended.

“The cultivation world has already rotted into this state. Do you really think ascension is still possible?”

At the moment of their despair, Li Tianwei finally spoke.

Hearing Li Tianwei’s words, Ancestor Xutian was first bewildered, then a trace of understanding appeared.

It seemed that at this moment, they had already understood why the Ascension Tribulation they had triggered did not descend.
