Chapter 402

But he had long since prepared himself mentally.

The Tribulation of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man, while dangerous, must absolutely not be feared.

One must forge ahead with courage and face it bravely.

Conversely, the more one dreads and fears it, the more dangerous it becomes when one truly encounters it.

The sooner one passes the Tribulation of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man by a day, the greater the benefits.

Conversely, to hesitate for a day, to delay for a day,

means the worry and fear in one's heart will grow with each passing day.

If this continues for long, it will eventually affect one's Dao heart.

Unfortunately, he is currently in the midst of a quantitative tribulation.

Time is pressing.

Otherwise, Hongxuan would truly like to pass all the Tribulations of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man in one go.

Of course.

This is just Hongxuan thinking about it.

Passing each Tribulation of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man will consume countless amounts of energy.

Not a single accident can occur.

The slightest carelessness will result in all previous efforts being wasted, leading to death and the dissipation of the Dao.

In his current state, passing two tribulations at once is already his limit.

The tribulation of the decay of magic power is slightly better.

But the tribulation of the decay of the Primordial Spirit will be the most terrifying of the first three tribulations.

Since it involves the Primordial Spirit, it allows for no sloppiness whatsoever.

Moreover, he needs a period of time to recover between the tribulation of the decay of magic power and the tribulation of the decay of the Primordial Spirit.

For every step, Hongxuan needs to make ten thousand preparations.

Suppressing the distracting thoughts in his heart, he let out a soft breath, adjusting his state to the best.

His heart was set.

The Tribulation of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man—the decay of magic power—arrived accordingly!

A transparent fire of the Great Dao was born out of thin air.

It instantly ignited the endless magic power within his body.

What made Hongxuan feel the most uncomfortable was:

At this moment, he was unable to use any magic power.

He could only rely on his familiarity with the laws of the Great Dao to struggle against the calcination of this transparent fire of the Great Dao.

Every bit of magic power burned brought endless pain to Hongxuan.

It was as if he were being sliced by a thousand knives.

It was clearly targeted at magic power.

Yet Hongxuan felt stinging pain throughout both his physical body and his Primordial Spirit.

If not for Hongxuan's extraordinary willpower, he might truly have wailed in pain.

Now, Hongxuan felt a sense of regret.

Why did he have so much magic power?

If there were less, the pain would also be less.

The most uncomfortable part was:

The three hundred and sixty-five aperture worlds within Hongxuan's body.

They were filled with endless magic power.

The fire of the Great Dao needed to burn away all the magic power within these aperture worlds.

Only then could he be considered to have successfully passed the tribulation of the decay of magic power.

However.

It was precisely because his magic power was too abundant that the pain he had to experience now far exceeded his imagination.

It was far more than three hundred and sixty-five times that.

Even though Hongxuan had been mentally prepared, he couldn't help but feel a lingering fear subconsciously.

When the magic power burned, Hongxuan's senses became incomparably sharp.

The sensation of pain also rose infinitely.

His originally calm face was now twisted together.

Cold sweat streamed down.

Houtu, who was secretly paying attention, couldn't help but feel a bit worried.

She had originally thought it was just ordinary cultivation, but looking at Hongxuan's state, it seemed very ominous.

She even intended to wake Hongxuan up.

But after pondering for a long time, she finally gave up.

What if Hongxuan was at a critical moment, and her interruption delayed him? What then?

In the end, she decided to trust Hongxuan.

With Hongxuan's wisdom, he should have anticipated this long ago.

Before entering seclusion, Hongxuan did not ask her to protect him, which meant he could handle it himself.

She would not meddle.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

Every time the magic power in the aperture worlds within Hongxuan's body was completely burned away, a huge explosion would occur.

Causing endless roaring within Hongxuan's body.

That feeling was indescribably hard to endure.

These magic power explosions even triggered vibrations in Hongxuan's life pattern.

It was almost shattered.

Fortunately, Hongxuan's constant reading of the Huang Tingjing made his own life pattern extremely complete.

Those huge explosions and vibrations might have a huge impact, but it was almost impossible to truly shatter his life pattern.

This once again strengthened Hongxuan's determination.

His behavior of valuing the Huang Tingjing all along was incomparably correct.

In the future, he must absolutely continue to maintain it.

As time passed.

Now, all the magic power within Hongxuan's body had been burned away by the fire of the Great Dao.

Even the magic power in the apertures had been resolved one by one.

And Hongxuan himself seemed as if he had been drenched in sweat.

There was not a single dry spot on his entire body.

One can imagine what kind of painful torture he had endured during this period.

And this was only the second decay of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man.

He didn't know how he would pass the upcoming decay of the Primordial Spirit.

There is no doubt that passing the Five Decays of Heaven and Man brings endless benefits.

However, the tribulations endured during the process are also unbearable for ordinary people.

Indeed, for every gain, one must pay the corresponding price.

Getting something for nothing is simply impossible.

Hum!

Just as the magic power in the last aperture within Hongxuan's body was completely burned away by the fire of the Great Dao.

Suddenly.

An invisible and profound power of the Great Dao was born out of thin air.

Accompanying it.

Was also the majestic Innate Indestructible Divine Light.

Under the guidance of the power of the Great Dao, it quickly filled the three hundred and sixty-five aperture worlds, as well as the meridians.
