Chapter 701: Tribulation descends, three hundred thousand evil spirits from beyond the boundary face disaster

The power of myriad rules transformed into laws, known as tribulation force, as six great heavenly laws descended upon him, merging into six Dao essences attached to the source of the immortal path.

Cultivation during the Tribulation Crossing phase no longer relied on piling up resources for cultivating immortality but rather on enhancing one's understanding of the heavenly Dao.

The Dao essence was the key, inscribed with Dao patterns. With profound foundations, Chen Xun used the power of ten thousand rules to break open the gate of Tribulation Crossing. Each law's Dao essence was entwined with ten thousand Dao patterns...

However, these Dao patterns were now incredibly dim, seemingly waiting for Chen Xun's enlightenment to open the path. Now, his Five Elements immortal path had finally separated completely from the Spiritual Qi Immortal Path.

Advancing in the Tribulation Crossing phase of the Spiritual Qi Immortal Path wasn't like this. Chen Xun only knew that if he could comprehend and inscribe these ten thousand Dao patterns, he would step directly into a new realm of cultivating immortality!

His current cultivation realm couldn't be measured by conventional standards; it was the epitome of accumulating strength over time, rendering the early, middle, and late stages of Tribulation Crossing meaningless to him.

From the initial conception during the Elemental Infant phase, to gradual perfection, and finally breaking through to the Tribulation Crossing phase, he had truly forged his own Five Elements immortal path, but ahead lay a blank slate...

Chen Xun was bewildered inside, unsure of how to cultivate further, and it was impossible to have any cultivation methods to refer to!

"...Damn it," Chen Xun cursed inwardly. Having profound foundations wasn't always a good thing. "But fortunately, this Dao Ancestor has longevity. Cultivation should not be rushed, lest one goes astray."

The power of rules they cultivated broke through into the power of laws, each focusing on a single specialization.

Five thousand rule powers could be transformed into five law powers, and ten thousand rule powers could be transformed into ten law powers, marking the early stage of Tribulation Crossing and the key to overwhelming the Great Ascension stage.

Rule power is like a pool of water, while law is like millennia-old ice. No matter how fierce and world-shaking this pool of water is, it cannot impact the millennia-old ice.

Of course... if this pool of water grows exponentially and continuously impacts the millennia-old ice, it will naturally cause some disturbance.

But the effect won't be significant; this is the essential difference between rule power and law power.

The cultivation process of a Tribulation Crossing cultivator is actually related to the Great Ascension stage, yet completely different.

Tribulation Crossing cultivators need to create law power from nothing. If ten thousand rule powers enter the Great Ascension, initially ten law powers, by mid-stage, you need to create up to thirty,

By late-stage Tribulation Crossing, you need to create up to sixty, and at the peak of Tribulation Crossing, you need to create up to one hundred law powers.

The similarity between the Great Ascension and Tribulation Crossing stages lies in this, with law power cultivation also following a 1:3:6 ratio, and the suppression power of small realms being the same.

The difficulty is much greater, no longer having a paved path ahead, just watching how you walk, methodically refining rule power.

Cultivation during the Tribulation Crossing phase is quite mysterious, incredibly free, and how you walk and create is up to you.

This is the unknown and excitement of the immortal path, finally unveiling a corner of the Tribulation Crossing phase.

Apart from sects with a single lineage, during the Tribulation Crossing phase, due to different understandings of the Dao, it's a chaotic dance, with different methods of comprehending heavenly laws.

But without exception, no one dares to cultivate multiple laws simultaneously; lifespan is always a major hurdle, and cultivating one more law requires double the lifespan, which no one can afford.

There were naturally many such cultivation fanatics in the past, but they all found that apart from being slightly stronger in duels within the same realm, it had little effect.

In this peaceful grand world, there's even less need, better to use lifespan to break through small realms and explore more mysteries of heaven and earth.

Stronger foundations mean you have greater talent, requiring more immortal path resources and more lifespan for cultivation.

This is the law of heaven and earth; gaining something more means losing something more elsewhere.

The laws of the Dao have strengths and weaknesses, with the law of strength being universally acknowledged as the strongest. This is why prodigies must cultivate their bodies from the Qi cultivation phase, and why powerful ancient beasts never take human form.

The physical body is the foundation of all things, the root of longevity, and a major means of maintaining peak combat power in old age.

This path has the most practitioners because it is the strongest, but no one has yet reached the level of a Dao Ancestor.

Even immortals of the grand world never dare to call themselves Dao Ancestors. In this era, even the True Immortal realm has yet to be established, and no one can bear such a great karmic burden, all are seekers of the immortal path.

Only Chen Xun dares to shamelessly call himself that, having lived long, never worrying about the future.

If he were to perish midway, who cares if a flood ensues in the future? Even if someone truly establishes the Five Elements immortal path in later generations, they would have to kneel at my grave and call me Ancestor, this karma he can bear.

Now it's evident that Chen Xun's Five Elements immortal path has clearly begun to diverge from the cultivation method of the Spiritual Qi Immortal Path.

The source of the immortal path inscribed with Dao essence, with ten thousand dim Dao patterns attached, seemingly just needing to be comprehended and inscribed step by step...

And now the shackle of longevity points has also begun to break, the longevity points of the Tribulation Crossing phase have long been perfected.

Their current longevity points: Strength 540, Speed 540, World Soul 540, Mana 540, Defense 540.

Chen Xun frowned slightly, feeling overwhelmingly powerful to the point of making his scalp tingle. At the moment of breaking through the Tribulation Crossing phase, the system seemed to have ascended as well, once an embodiment of rule power.

Now it has become an embodiment of law power!

That Destruction Immortal Thunder was devoured by his Dharma Aspect, under the operation of the law of life and death, life and death intertwined, completely refined into his own thunder law, even capable of controlling a heavenly tribulation.

"How powerful is this Dao Ancestor now..."

Chen Xun murmured, surprisingly doubting himself, "Let's just try it casually, there are still too many uncertainties."

As soon as he finished speaking, his vast divine sense of Tribulation Crossing spread far away, a divine thought instantly crossed an endless distance, reaching the battlefield beyond the boundary in an instant.

Upon breaking through the Tribulation Crossing phase, he seemed to sense a few incredibly familiar auras, that unique bloodthirsty aura, and the boundary's ancient military banner he could never forget!

In a vast area of the battlefield beyond the boundary.

The Battle Camp was fighting fiercely, they were born for battle, never fearing the battlefield, even if ahead lay mountains of corpses and seas of blood, with miles of white bones beneath their feet!

Bai Li Wentian, covered in blood, stood on the battle realm ship, in a canyon, as three hundred thousand evil spirit troops advanced towards them, maintaining an absolute peak state, fighting to the death!

In the canyon.

The sky and earth were filled with evil spirits from beyond the boundary, even with evil god cannons and Evil Spirit Generals, they were true chaotic clan military court cultivators, set to face the renowned Immortal Nation's Battle Camp!

"Stop! Halt!"

The Evil Spirit General suddenly ordered a halt, his mighty voice echoing in all directions.

But all the advancing evil spirits had their pupils constricted, a terrifying sense of dread enveloped them, with no doubt about the general's order, the surroundings fell into a deathly silence.

The Evil Spirit General spread his divine sense in all directions, his expression extremely tense, why did he feel as if he was being watched by an unparalleled fierce beast...

But no powerful being descended, not even a trace of a cultivator's aura.

"Not good, above!"

"Above!!"

"What?!!"

……

In an instant, panicked screams echoed through the heavens and earth, as a terrifying pillar of heavenly thunder suddenly struck down. This pillar of heavenly thunder was incomparably brilliant, shining with dazzling electric light, its might unparalleled, enough to destroy everything!

The pillar of heavenly thunder was like a giant divine column, piercing through the clouds, tearing through the sky.

The evil spirit army, witnessing this scene, all showed expressions of fear, but they couldn't evade, as this pillar of heavenly thunder locked onto their position, allowing no possibility of escape.

In just the blink of an eye, the roar of the heavenly thunder pillar struck, plunging the entire canyon into a terrifying scene of destruction.

Lightning illuminated the heavens and earth, the power of thunder swept through, instantly enveloping hundreds of thousands of evil spirit troops!

The terrifying sound of thunderous explosions was unending, the bodies of the evil spirits were instantly torn apart in the electric light, turning into countless fragments.

They let out cries of despair, but were quickly drowned by the thunder, as if facing divine punishment, the terrifying destructive power causing the entire battlefield to tremble, debris flying, dust filling the air.

Warships, magical artifacts, formations, everything was obliterated by the heavenly thunder, as if they had never existed.

The descent of this heavenly thunder annihilated three hundred thousand evil spirit troops, turning them to dust, leaving the battlefield deathly silent, only the echoes lingering in the air, showcasing the terrifying power of the heavenly thunder.

At this moment, the canyon had been leveled, the ground blasted into a massive abyss, filled with the power of thunder, as if a sudden heavenly tribulation had descended...

At this moment, all beings on this battlefield were dumbfounded, even the powerful of the grand world were stunned.

This was definitely not the spell or Dao technique of a cultivator, this was... a true heavenly tribulation descending!!

In the distance.

The soldiers of the Battle Camp looked up at the sky, their eyes trembling, even afraid to look at the thunder abyss...

Bai Li Wentian's brow twitched, his hand holding the blade trembled, what... what was happening?!!

The evil spirit army, which the Battle Camp faced as a formidable enemy, was inexplicably destroyed by a vast heavenly thunder strike?!

This scene shocked the heart, causing a stir in all directions, even alarming the powerful of the immortal kingdom's military court, with no trace of a cultivator's aura... a complete heavenly tribulation descending!

Even in the future, the bizarre event of three hundred thousand evil spirit troops being destroyed by a heavenly tribulation would be recorded in the immortal history, spawning countless legends.

In the chaotic void deep space.

Chen Xun's eyes glimmered with a gentle smile:

"Bai Li clan, Nine Hua Demon-Sealing Apes clan, see you in the future, just consider us already dead, live well..."
