Chapter 211 - 108: Dao Tribulation (Part 2)

Resist!

In the Heaven and Earth Tribulation Refining, breaking the core to form an infant, evasion is a lower method, only by confronting and resisting the tribulation head-on can one use higher means.

In this aspect, demonic cultivators have significant experience, because their cultivation methods create excessive karma, entangling cause and effect, deepening tribulation, thus each time crossing a tribulation is perilous, they have to use some evasion techniques to sever cause and effect and dispel sins.

Yet there are some madmen in the Demon Dao who do not sever cause and effect nor dispel sins, each time they cross tribulation by enduring it physically, breaking it forcefully, once successful, their cultivation and magical power surge to an astonishing level, creating mighty figures that shake the earth and heavens in the Demon Dao.

Actually, this method of crossing tribulation is not exclusive to the Demon Dao, it’s just that there are many madmen in the Demon Dao, and due to the cultivation method being burdened with sins, the tribulation is deep, thus over time, forcefully breaking tribulation has become a stereotype for demon cultivators, but there are also numerous such formidable individuals in the Mystic Sect Orthodox Sect.

Shen Hex leapt up and entered the tribulation clouds, his body swallowed by the vortex.

He remained indifferent, sitting cross-legged once more, silently operating the Immortal Martial Spirit Technique.

Instantly...

"Boom!"

The clouds collided, thunder roared, amidst the endless darkness, a round Great Sun was faintly visible.

The Great Sun’s red light was as fierce as fire, transforming thunder into astonishment, becoming a scarlet lightning.

"What is this...!?"

Outside Panwang Island, everyone was startled, and the nine demonic Nascent Souls looked sharp.

"Great Sun Celestial Thunder!"

"Is this person a fire-attribute spiritual body?"

"No, a fire-attribute spiritual body would summon Five Elements Fire Thunder!"

"Great Sun Celestial Thunder, supreme yang and firm, only a Great Sun Fire Body would undergo this calamity."

"Great Sun Fire Body, supreme among fire, is the pinnacle of fire-attribute spiritual bodies, even known as an immortal body, scarcely seen in ancient times, how did this person acquire it?"

"With such a spiritual body, no wonder that Three Calamities Karmic Fire in his hand is so terrifying!"

"No no no, the world is unpredictable, heavenly tribulation even more so, those who summon Great Sun Celestial Thunder are not necessarily Great Sun Immortal Bodies!"

Gazing at the sprawling tribulation clouds, that scarlet red as fire, resembling the Great Sun’s brilliance, the tribulation lightning, a group of demonic cultivators showed sudden horror, the nine Nascent Souls furrowed their brows, and those from heterodox sects showed fear in their eyes, already wavering in their hearts.

Yet before their hearts had settled, the tribulation changed again, a cold light suddenly appeared and intersected with the Great Sun.

"Roar!!"

"Roar!!"

Suddenly, dragon roar and tiger roar, water and fire clashed, yin and yang refined together.

A scarlet light, a cold gleam, both transformed from thunder, like dragons and tigers intertwining, and like water and fire conflict.

Precisely: "Heaven and Earth Yin Yang Refining, Dragon Tiger Water Fire Intersection!"

Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Qi, Dragon Tiger Yin Yang Thunder, this is Martial Dao Body Refining Tribulation.

Shen Hex sat within, letting Heaven and Earth Tribulation Refining, dragon and tiger conjoin, water and fire blend.

"Boom!"

Layer after layer, strike after strike.

Three layers of celestial tribulation, each layer containing nine strikes, totaling twenty-seven strikes of Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Qi, Dragon Tiger Yin Yang Thunder pounding upon him.

Shen Hex sat suspended, unmoving, absorbing all the Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Qi, Dragon Tiger Yin Yang Thunder into his body, refining flesh and blood, and Dao Golden Core, condensing a trace of Primordial Qi and Innate Primordial Yang Qi within the core.

"Boom!"

After these three tribulations, again heard the rumbling of heaven and earth, within the tribulation clouds, demonic shadows transformed, descending as paths of dark thunder.

Self Transformed Sovereignty, Outer Celestial Demon!

In this world, outside exists the Celestial Demon, an extremely special existence, unable to enter this realm by conventional means, only can be drawn into by living beings’ hearts and minds, disrupting cultivation, harming Dao heart.

Shen Hex cultivated the Self Transformed Sovereignty and Root of All Methods, using it not only to comprehend Dao but also to refine heart and spirit, eventually integrating it into the Spirit Control Scripture, complementing the method of Spirit Control and Refining Spirit.

Thus now, the Celestial Demon descends, transforming into tribulation, hindering his achievement of Dao.

"Boom!"

Such demonic thunder, crashing down, like a demon entering the body, directly attacking the cultivators’ divine soul, generating boundless heart demon illusions.

Yet the illusion formed but for a moment, it shattered instantly like a dream bubble.

Not mentioning Shen Hex’s steadfast determination from cultivation across three lifetimes, just the Professional Talent of a seeker "Iron Dao Heart," could easily overcome this tribulation.

Thus, compared to the Martial Dao Dragon Tiger Tribulation, this Spirit Control Chaos Tribulation was more ethereal, countless demons entering the body dissipated like smoke, leaving only the purest Power of Heaven and Earth nurturing the divine soul, further enhancing the Dao Golden Core to harbor a trace of Innate Primordial Yin Qi.

In this manner, the three sets of nine tribulations are once again dispelled.

"Six-Nine Celestial Tribulation!"

"He has already crossed the Six-Nine Celestial Tribulation!"

"It hasn’t ended, it hasn’t ended!"

"Is he going to cross the Nine-Nine Celestial Tribulation?"

"Nine-Transformation Golden Core, is he a Nine-Transformation Golden Core?"

Outside Coiling Dragon Island, the crowd was speechless, the nine demonic Nascent Souls were already ashen with fright.

The number of heavenly tribulations, at most nine-nine, corresponds to the Golden Core Ninth Transformation.

Thus, logically, only the Golden Core Ninth Transformation can trigger the Nine-Nine Celestial Tribulation.

For those of the Golden Core Ninth Transformation, not to mention forming Nascent Soul, even Divinity Transformation is a certainty, and they have hopes of becoming a True Immortal in the future.

This person...

"Roar!!"

A White Bone Demon let out a long howl and flew away with escape light, disappearing in an instant.

"Old Demon White Bone!?"

"A brat, unworthy to plot with!"

"This old ghost is so afraid of death!"

Witnessing this scene, the rest of the demonic Nascent Souls, some were furious, others sighed in relief, especially the six who switched from the Heterodox Sect, without a word, they flew away with escape light, not looking back.

Escape, escape, escape!

This place is dangerous, not suitable to linger!

Originally, their plan was simple, come and surround the island to apply pressure, if this person failed to pass the tribulation and turned to ashes, that would naturally be great; if he succeeded by chance, severely injured, they would attack en masse using the power of nine Nascent Souls, surely they could overwhelm and kill him.

But now...

Nine-Transformation Golden Core?

Nine-Nine Celestial Tribulation?

And then this heaven and earth dragon-tiger, a spectacle of chaotic demons!

If you say this guy is the reincarnation of a True Demon, I’d believe it!

Nine-Nine Celestial Tribulation?

Such a monster, even the Nine-Nine Celestial Tribulation might not be able to strike him dead, right?

If it could strike him dead, no need to say more, there’s no need for them to clean up afterward.

If it couldn’t strike him dead, then such an existence, even if only left with one breath, is not someone ordinary people can provoke; even if they put up nine Nascent Souls, it’s hard to say whether they’re delivering themselves on a platter or truly fighting.

Therefore, the White Bone Ancestor decisively withdrew from this dangerous place.

Once the White Bone Ancestor left, the other demons scattered like beast and bird, and the Panwang Island, which had been heavily surrounded just now, was suddenly empty.

Yet, there were still cultivators from afar watching with various means, not just the Demon Sect, but also the Orthodox Dao, and various forces from the South Sea, all silently observing.

In this moment under the watchful eyes, the tribulation for the cultivator finally reached the number of Nine-Nine.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Heaven and Earth shook, tribulation clouds roiled, thunder burst.

Thunder split into five colors, electricity shone in five hues; one was pure green light, one was sharp gold light, one was scorching red light, one was profound black light, and one was dense yellow light.

Exactly...

"Wood Thunder!"

"Metal Thunder!"

"Fire Thunder!"

"Water Thunder!"

"Earth Thunder!"

"Innate Five Elements Tribulation Thunder!"

Looking at the five-colored thunder born from the endless tribulation clouds, the nine great demon infants that had flown over ten thousand miles away felt a shock of horror, squeezing their magical power to boost tunneling speed, and vanished rapidly, fleeing far away.

But none of this had any connection with Shen Hex, he was fully immersed in his own merit, allowing the Innate Five Thunders to strike.

Dragon Tiger Divine Thunder is the tribulation of the Martial Body!

Celestial Demon Divine Thunder is the tribulation of the Divine Spirit!

Five Elements Divine Thunder is the tribulation of the Immortal Technique!

The bolts, containing innate Qi and the power of the Five Elements, struck down, all blocked by Shen Hex’s body, absorbed by flesh and blood, transformed by viscera, concentrated in the Dantian, finally condensing into a point of Innate Primordial Qi within the Dao Golden Core.

Primordial Yang and Primordial Yin, Primordial Spirit and Primordial Qi, the three points of Qi combining, resulted in a light sound.

"Crack!"

The Golden Core vibrated and cracked.

At the same time...

"Boom!!!"

Nine-Nine Tribulation fulfilled, Five Elements disappeared.

But the endless tribulation clouds did not dissipate, they became even more intense.

Within the swirling tribulation clouds, purple lightning flashed strongly, faintly forming into an eye, a tightly closed purple crystal eye.

The purple crystal eye, tightly closed, yet jumping in tremors, not knowing how much effort was used, finally pulled open a slit.

Vertical eye, horizontally drawn a line, opened a slit of vision, cold and indifferent, ignoring all living beings!

Celestial Dao is unkind, considers all beings as straw dogs!

Supremely fair and just, without ego or bias.

It is the tribulation of the Great Dao, the tribulation of the absolute perfect twelve-transformation golden core!
