Chapter 1127: The Great Tribulation of Lei Ting's Rules (This segment will be finished today)

Lei Gao Jie rained down across the sky, dark clouds spreading over tens of thousands of miles of starry heavens.

Within those bolts of greenish-purple Lei Chong Guang, there lurked something far beyond order—those were rules, the rules of Lei Ting's heavenly punishment, ceaselessly brewing and accumulating power.

Under the loading of the Immortal Gate army formation's sixth-tier combat assistance system, Jiang Ding was no longer as clueless and unconscious as before.

He could gaze directly at Lei Ting's destruction rules, but he had no thought of looking upon them as equals—instead he felt even more dread, truly sensing the enormous gap between himself and Void Refinement.

That was a kind of power, a power called rules!

If you do not master this power, no matter how deep your foundation, you will be pierced through by rules, fragile as paper.

When a cultivator reaches Void Refinement, they have already begun to touch a sliver of the laws governing the endless cosmic star rivers, beginning to use them, master them, and become Void Refinement-level lifeforms.

The pressure of the heavenly tribulation grew ever more terrifying.

In just a few short days, the Lei Ting rules within the heavenly tribulation had already surpassed the strength of Void Refinement cultivators from the Upper Realm's Nine Heavens Divine Lei True Sect, pressing down on everyone's hearts like a mountain that kept growing heavier.

"Can he succeed?"

A Canghai Tianjun asked, his heart tense, beginning to worry.

Everyone looked toward Divine Mechanism Canghai Tianjun, and toward the avatar of Ten Thousand Mechanisms Canghai Tianjun whose main body was stationed in Jiao Jiao Mingyu—the two of them were not currently commanding the army formation due to the temporary avoidance regulations.

"Yuan says he has a ninety percent chance."

Divine Mechanism Canghai Tianjun said.

"Only ninety percent?"

Jiang Ding was stunned.

Yes, only ninety percent.

Such a heaven-blessed prodigy, who could already command an army formation to face the encirclement of the Badaxian Sect at Soul Transformation peak—surely it should be a hundred percent, ninety percent seemed a bit too low.

"Without anyone paving the way, this is how it is."

Divine Mechanism Canghai Tianjun explained: "Take Jiang Ding Zi, for example—when he advances to Void Refinement in the future, his order force will surely have already reached its limit, the Void Refinement space within him will have evolved to its extreme, just one final push away from advancement. Even if accidents occur, his powerful foundation gives him enormous room for error."

"Advancing, there basically won't be any accidents."

"Yuan is different—he has no prototype of a Void Refinement space, has not grasped order force, and can only rely on himself to leap across the vast distance between Soul Transformation peak and Void Refinement. Fail, and he dies."

"Yuan has the ability to make that leap, no doubt about it, and even has some margin to spare."

"But if accidents occur, that becomes uncertain—he doesn't have that much room for error. If the accident is too great, then it won't work."

The crowd understood.

Of course, this kind of paving the way is not that easy either—it requires Dao Child-level talent and potential, as well as... resources enormous to the point of terror.

"Void Refinement, when spoken of casually, doesn't sound like anything remarkable."

Divine Mechanism Canghai Tianjun taught earnestly, the surrounding Canghai Tianjun listening attentively: "It is simply opening up a singularity within the divine soul, borrowing the destruction and creation within Lei Ting, using great magic power and great willpower to open up and construct an independent immortal Dao ecosystem space—and one that can operate normally, a space that gives birth to rules."

"All of this must be completed within a few breaths, at the moment when cultivation is about to break through but has not yet, beneath the Lei Gao Jie."

"Is this simple?!!!"

The surrounding Canghai Tianjun heard this and their scalps went numb.

No wonder within the realm there are many Soul Transformation cultivators, but only a handful of Void Refinement cultivators.

This is still for Soul Transformation cultivators advancing from Dao Child status—if no one paves the way, and one must cross that vast distance alone, the advancement probability drops even further.

Perhaps among several thousand Soul Transformation cultivators with complete inheritances, only one will advance.

Over tens of thousands of years, generation after generation of Soul Transformation cultivators are born, age, sicken, and die—having thirty Void Refinement cultivators advance would be a tremendous success.

Boom!

At this moment, the first bolt of Lei Ting containing rules descended.

This bolt of Lei Ting arrived in an instant along the path of rules of the great Dao of heaven and earth, locking onto its target—there was simply no time to react before it descended.

Everyone held their breath.

Zzz...

Between heaven and earth, accompanied by the blooming of hundreds of millions of electromagnetic runes, massive primordial magnetic formation patterns appeared—pure primordial magnetic electromagnetic force without any impurity. These electromagnetic runes spread out in an instant, reorganized, folded, forming a terrifying quasi-sixth-tier primordial magnetic grand formation.

At this moment, the scripture Yuan cultivated was revealed.

It was precisely the "Wan Hua Ci Yuan Scripture"!

"Impressive!"

In that instant, Jiang Ding realized he had underestimated these old predecessors, even their weakest individual combat power.

Their foundations were lacking, they didn't have the abundant magic power and divine sense of Dao Children, but their formation Dao was truly terrifying—casually they were sixth-tier upper-grade, sixth-tier extreme-grade formation masters.

Their relatively weak magic power and divine sense, in their hands, were turned into flowers and art—defeating quasi-Emperors with formation Dao was a piece of cake.

Boom!

The greenish-purple rule Lei Ting struck down, shattering electromagnetic rune after electromagnetic rune, yet its power barely diminished.

Boom!

In the end, the Lei Ting struck a layer of star fortress shield that had been deployed at some unknown time—even rule Lei Ting could do nothing against this thick shield, electric serpents scattered outward without causing it any effect.

An ancient, weathered super star fortress, its hull covered in mottled damage, emerged from the void.

This was the Immortal Gate's strongest warship!

Planet-level warship · Freedom Immortal Gate!

The core of this planet-level warship came from an early encounter of the Immortal Gate. Built around this encounter as its core, the warship has been commanded and inherited by successive Immortal Gate administrations. Currently, the Immortal Gate

does not yet have the ability to mass-produce planet-level warships.

With the appearance of the planet-level warship · Freedom Immortal Gate, Yuan no longer paid attention to the bolts of heavenly tribulation striking down one after another. He closed his eyes to cultivate, devoting all his divine soul computing power into opening the singularity of his divine soul world.

"Planet-level warship... how envious..."

Ten Thousand Mechanisms Canghai Tianjun's computer-screen-like head poked forward, an animation of a drooling old man appearing on the screen: "This is only because it's Yuan. If the two of us were to advance, it should only be a fifty or sixty percent chance."

"The Immortal Gate's planet-level warships need to be mass-produced quickly, otherwise it's simply not stable."

"If Yuan advances to Refining Void, he should be able to greatly accelerate the Immortal Gate's planet-class warship research and development project. He was born to do this. The same Refining Void divine-soul computing power, when applied to Immortal Dao scientific research, far surpasses the great powers of the Badaxian Sect. What they do can only be called a hobby — amateurs, with utterly inadequate efficiency."

Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun unconsciously revealed a posture of looking down.

In his view, possessing such terrifying Refining Void divine-soul computing power yet being unable, after tens of thousands of years, to drive great progress in Immortal Dao technology — that was truly a bit mediocre.

Boom after boom of cyan-purple rule Lei Ting fell one after another, Lei Chong Guang resplendent, shining across the star river, destroying layer upon layer of space, meteorites melting away patch by patch, all things between heaven and earth destroyed.

The rules of heaven and earth were thrown into chaos at this moment.

Many places shattered, chaos appeared, all kinds of physical rules no longer applied at this moment — what up-and-down reversal, spatial disorder, extreme cold and extreme heat alternating… everything became chaos, with nothing certain anymore.

Within that endless rule Lei Ting, a wisp of aura was continuously growing stronger, unable to be concealed even by the destructive rule Lei Ting.
