Chapter 2094: The Supreme Calamities Appear One After Another

Jiang Ding stood amid a storm and thunder like the eye of a vortex.

The second heavenly tribulation thunderbolt fell, its might far surpassing the first!

The Immortal Dao universal constant empirical formula circulated within Jiang Ding's body. The *Sun-Extinguishing Immortal Scripture* had already been cultivated to completion; this Gong Fa, exclusive to him, granted him a transcendent power nearly in harmony with the Heavenly Dao. With every breath, he could align with the Immortal Dao universal constants; even the sway of a single strand of hair represented the closest to the correct Dao.

A single strand of his hair fell, and at the optimal angle and force, it leveraged the vast power of the Heavenly Dao's rules, forming a dull-yellow End-of-Law sword light that slashed toward the descending thunderbolt in the sky.

Clang!

The sword light formed from Jiang Ding's hair was like a heavenly sword, cleaving upward against the vault of heaven!

This sword was like a god, like a demon; heaven and earth wailed mournfully, as if it had arrived at an End-of-Law era of heaven's collapse and earth's rupture. The sword light was incomparably sharp, embodying the supreme essence of the Eighth Sword Dao Realm, the Dao Sword. Wherever the sword light reached was the concrete manifestation of the End-of-Law Great Dao.

This sword of a single hair sliced straight through, and the blood-red Lei Gao Jie stiffened.

Immediately,

The thunderbolt slowly crumbled, vanishing like smoke.

All the rules, spiritual energy, and thunderbolt force within the thunderbolt became utterly mundane beneath this sword, like a gentle breeze brushing the face.

The universe's transition from high energy to low entropy seemed inevitable; high energy must always be expended and could not endure forever. This was unavoidable; this sword merely hastened that universal law.

Boom!

The third thunderbolt gathered storms and thunder from the endless starry sky and crashed down with a rumble!

The instant this thunderbolt fell, heaven and earth instantly lost all light, plunging into darkness; not a single glimmer remained.

Even divine sense and the Sword Dao instinct could not pierce this darkness; the divine soul instinctively fell into panic, losing the innate, limb-like ability of sight.

No matter what method was used to investigate, heaven and earth were dark; light was forever lost!

"This is—"

"The Supreme tribulation… the tribulation of the withered eye."

Jiang Ding said calmly.

The living beings beneath an Immortal, no matter who, must eventually die, must eventually age. This was the limit of matter in the universe; even the sun and planets had their own lifespans and could not exist forever.

On the scale of the universe, a Supreme's lifespan of several hundred thousand years might not differ much from that of an ordinary mortal.

All must experience the vigor and tender youth of childhood, the robust physique of prime adulthood, and finally the aging of life, the degeneration and failure of organs, ending as a cup of yellow earth.

The Supreme tribulation was precisely such a process.

It was not that the endless cosmic Heavenly Dao held any hostility toward the Supreme; rather, the Supreme's body was naturally aging and decaying with the passage of time, for matter possessed its limits.

And now, the tribulation of the Supreme Solar Sword Immortal appeared within the thunderbolt, instantly stripping away his sight!

Almost conceptual, no matter whether through sound wave vibrations, electromagnetic radar, or divine sense, one could not see what was happening around them. What aged was not merely the eyeballs, but extended to the level of the divine soul's essence.

"The thunderbolt has grown stronger and more terrifying, reaching the level of an Eighth Tribulation Supreme…"

"And the eyeballs too…"

Yuan, Cheng Zhen, and other Immortal Gate Supremes all rushed back to the mother star at the first moment, watching from a great distance and doing their best to protect the Dao. At this moment, their hearts could not help but skip a beat.

The blue-clothed youth within the storm and thunder—when had those lively, star-like eyes of his rotted, withered, and festered? Pale yellow pus flowed from his eye sockets, looking both disgusting and terrifying; humans are innately fearful and uneasy at the sight of decay.

This was the Supreme tribulation of the withered eye!

Many among the Immortal Gate Supremes had once endured such a tribulation; it was an unforgettable memory. Heaven and earth were utterly dark; nothing could be seen. One could only sit cautiously in their cave dwelling, afraid of triggering a complete eruption of the aging qi within, leading to qi deviation.

And now, what was extremely dangerous was that the terrifying deep-red third thunderbolt in the sky took advantage of this moment and crashed down toward the blue-clothed youth's head with a thunderous roar!

Clang!

At this moment, a sword cry arose between heaven and earth.

"Come!"

The blue-clothed youth slowly drew his sword within the dark heaven and earth.

The End-of-Law Great Dao of the endless cosmic starry sky boiled at this moment, spreading throughout heaven and earth, forming thread- and net-like traces that permeated all between heaven and earth. In a more essential manner, it mobilized the power of heaven and earth once more, erupting with an endless dull-yellow End-of-Law sword.

This sword, in the darkness where conceptual sight had been lost, precisely locked onto the heavenly tribulation thunderbolt and slashed out in a single strike.

This sword light of the End-of-Law era touched the deep-red heavenly tribulation thunderbolt; the two wrestled for a moment, then vanished without a sound, perishing together.

Thereafter, boundless vitality emerged.

Fine strands of sword qi spread within the blue-clothed youth's eye sockets, instantly cutting away all the rotting flesh, washing away the foul-smelling pus, letting those decayed eyeballs fall into the starry sky, annihilated by countless sword qi.

Within the blood-cavity-like eye sockets, thread-like flesh and blood wriggled and grew rapidly; after a moment, two pink, tender eyeballs appeared, their pupils reflecting the bright starry sky.

A flash of dull-yellow light passed; the eyes returned to normal, distinct in black and white, twinkling like stars.

The tribulation of the withered eye was overcome in an instant!

"The new eyes… they're quite pretty…"

Jiang Ding was somewhat dazed.

Using these newly born eyes to look at the world between heaven and earth, it seemed as if it had been washed clean; colors were distinct. At a glance, he saw novel things he had not seen before, and his understanding of the universe deepened further.

Boom!

The fourth thunderbolt fell, the blood-red thunderbolt tearing across the sky.

Jiang Ding suddenly felt his throat grow hoarse; dark red fresh blood flowed out. In an instant, he lost all ability to speak, even the ability to communicate through divine sense. Even his perception of the End-of-Law Great Dao became hazy at this moment, as if about to detach and lose all connection with heaven and earth.

This was the tribulation of lost speech!

None of the Supreme tribulations were simple.

In this tribulation, a Supreme would lose the ability to communicate with others, the ability to communicate with heaven and earth, with spiritual energy and rules. They could see all things in the world, could see relatives, friends, disciples, and enemies, yet could not speak to them, much less communicate. Though standing in a bustling marketplace, they were utterly alone.

Moreover, the closer a Supreme was to the essence of the Great Dao, the more they would lose in the tribulation of lost speech, because the Heavenly Dao and rules were almost part of their body. Losing connection with the Heavenly Dao was equivalent to losing part of their body; in an instant, many things supporting life were gone, immediately facing a life-and-death crisis.

At this moment, Jiang Ding felt a wave of loneliness, as if he had already been abandoned by heaven and earth, and a trace of panic and unease arose in his heart.

Clang!

Behind him, the Great Sun Immortal-Mortal Sword Soul emerged.

This sword soul's black-and-white pupils radiated brilliance, scanning the four directions in an instant. Its pitch-black End-of-Law pupils flickered, shooting out a pitch-black, deathly still profound light that pierced straight upward through the blood-red thunderbolt in heaven and earth, equivalent to the full-power strike of an Eighth Tribulation Supreme.

The hazy, indistinct world instantly fell still.

Then, the organs in Jiang Ding's throat regenerated, the calamity of lost speech dissipated, the Dao of Heaven and Earth returned once more, and rules, spiritual Qi, everything was under his control again.
