Chapter 501: Ascension to True Immortal, the Might of the Supreme Treasure Gu God Bowl, and the Laws

"As expected, the Ancient Profound Turtle Art is, after all, merely a divine ability and technique."

"If placed in the Mortal World, it is indeed a supreme defensive divine ability."

"But once brought into the Immortal World, it counts for nothing at all; it cannot block Immortal Techniques that possess the power of laws."

"It seems this divine ability and technique has also become obsolete."

Zhou Sui clenched his fists.

To tell the truth, this defensive divine ability had previously brought him no small amount of help, having once assisted him in resisting the power of many tribulation lightning strikes while he was in the Spirit World.

The effect when using it was also quite good.

Even when facing Cultivators with cultivation bases stronger than his own, using this divine ability could block the enemy's attacks, thereby allowing him to remain unscathed.

However, after arriving in the Immortal World, this divine ability clearly could no longer keep up with the transformation of his strength.

But this did not matter; he had mastered quite a few Immortal Techniques anyway.

Rumble~~~

In an instant, above the sky, the tribulation clouds churned as if stimulated by something, and the second Taiyi Immortal Lightning descended from the sky, its power suddenly doubling.

Electric light flickered all around, as if completely illuminating the surrounding environment.

It was permeated with a terrifying aura of destruction.

Like a falling meteorite, it seemed to contain the power to destroy the world.

Immortal Technique—Hell Gate.

Immediately, Zhou Sui circulated the Gu God Scripture, mobilized the vast Immortal Power within his body, and instantly unleashed a defensive Immortal Technique.

One could see that above his head, a massive black portal appeared at once, engraved with dense Hell Runes, as if countless gods and demons were carved upon it.

Auras of the ancient, the barbaric, death, destruction, and more erupted instantly.

It was as if this portal connected to Diyu itself.

The second Taiyi Immortal Lightning crashed down and was instantly swallowed by the Hell Gate.

Then, the vast energy of the Taiyi Immortal Lightning was also channeled into Zhou Sui's body, merging into the Dragon Elephant Cells within him and transforming into energy within his own body.

This also made the Dragon Elephant Bloodline within him seem even more concentrated.

Clearly, the defensive power of this Immortal Technique, Hell Gate, was indeed incomparably formidable, capable of swallowing and absorbing all of an enemy's attacks and then converting them into energy within the Host.

If the enemy's attack energy exceeded imagination and the Host could not contain such vast energy, it could also transfer the energy elsewhere, dissipating it into the depths of the Void.

This was the power of the Hell Gate.

As long as one had the Hell Gate overhead, one was practically in an invincible position.

No matter how the enemies besieged, I would remain unmoved, standing tall and unyielding.

Thud!

The Heavenly Tribulation had no intention of giving Zhou Sui any time to catch his breath; the third Taiyi Immortal Lightning crashed down once more, its power more than double that of the second Taiyi Immortal Lightning.

It seemed to transform into a purple-gold pillar of light, surrounded by thousands upon thousands of purple-gold Immortal Runes, appearing to manifest streaks of Fazhe Wenlu, causing ripples to appear in the surrounding Void and drawing upon infinite power of heaven and earth.

"Too strong."

"I cannot swallow any more, otherwise my body will definitely be burst open."

Zhou Sui's pupils contracted; he sensed that the third Taiyi Immortal Lightning contained vast energy, even though it had been completely swallowed by the Hell Gate without a single spark of electricity leaking out.

But he also discovered that the Dragon Elephant Cells within his body seemed to be completely filled by this vast energy.

His entire body also began to crackle with lightning, as if countless thunder dragons were swimming within him.

To be honest, he was also astonished, not expecting such a thing to happen.

It was only the third Taiyi Immortal Lightning, yet he was already struggling to hold on.

Clearly, the power of the legendary Taiyi Immortal Lightning Tribulation was truly beyond imagination.

The reason the Taiyi Immortal Lightning Tribulation appeared was clearly because he was too heaven-defying.

Not only did he possess an Immortal Spirit Root, but he had also mastered an undying body and an Immortal Body in advance, and even possessed the Dragon Elephant Bloodline.

This was already a heaven-defying aptitude, so naturally, it would receive focused attention from the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal World.

Rumble~~~

Before he could think much more, the fourth Taiyi Immortal Lightning descended; in mid-air, there seemed to be bursts of Sanskrit sounds, vaguely accompanied by purple-gold lotus flowers, with thousands upon thousands of Immortal Runes emerging.

The power within it had surged by another fold compared to before.

Without a doubt, the nine Taiyi Immortal Lightning strikes were each stronger than the last, their power continuously stacking.

By the time it reached the ninth strike, the power within would be truly earth-shattering.

"Well come."

A glint appeared in Zhou Sui's eyes; he circulated the Hell Gate, causing this black portal to bloom with endless light, as if streaks of ghostly radiance appeared.

It was as if at this moment, countless Hell gods and demons were reviving within it, letting out roars.

The fourth Taiyi Immortal Lightning showed no mercy, striking directly onto this portal.

Immediately, because the power within was too terrifying, the Hell Gate actually developed cracks, making a cracking sound.

The vast energy instantly surged into his Dragon Elephant Dao Body.

It was even accompanied by destructive power, attempting to ruin his vitality.

This also caused his tempered Dragon Elephant body to immediately develop streaks of wounds.

But the Dragon Elephant Gu coiled within his heart surged with wisps of mysterious blood energy, containing vast life force.

The wounds that had just appeared also healed instantly.

This also allowed his body to recover rapidly.

"It seems I still have to use external force."

Zhou Sui's expression was grave; he had originally intended to use his own body and Immortal Techniques to withstand the True Immortal Thunder Tribulation head-on.

After all, according to the introductions from those Great Vehicle Cultivators, ordinary True Immortal Thunder Tribulations could not do anything to him.

The problem is that what he is triggering now is not an ordinary True Immortal Thunder Tribulation at all, but the famous Taiyi Immortal Lightning Tribulation.

Even if his body is incomparably formidable, if he were to take it head-on, he would certainly be unable to withstand it.

After all, as the Tribulation Lightning of a Heavenly Tribulation, it inherently has a massive restraining effect on an Undying Body.

Once it penetrates into the body, it will prevent the regenerative ability of the Undying Body.

If an Undying Body were truly that invincible, Immortals would not die under Thunder Tribulations.

Boom—!

In an instant, the tribulation clouds above the firmament churned, the wind rose and clouds surged, as if giant waves were towering; infinite Immortal Qi and Tribulation Qi gathered, condensing into streaks of purple-gold Tribulation Lightning.

At this moment, the fifth Taiyi Immortal Lightning and the sixth Taiyi Immortal Lightning actually descended simultaneously.

The Heavenly Tribulation would not give him any time to catch his breath at all.

If he cannot withstand it, he might end up dead and his Dao dissipated.

With two Taiyi Immortal Lightnings falling at the same time, even a True Immortal would be struck dead alive.

"Mountain Sea Pearl."

With a movement of Zhou Sui's mind, he immediately took out an Immortal Artifact, the Mountain Sea Pearl, from his body.

At the same time, he also utilized the Tribulation Thunder Gu, taking the opportunity to steal wisps of Taiyi Immortal Lightning to weaken the power of the Tribulation Lightning.

But even so, because the energy of the Taiyi Immortal Lightning was truly too vast, even though the Tribulation Thunder Gu swallowed a portion of the energy, there was still a lot left over.

Suddenly, a pearl immediately appeared above his head, upon which seemed to emerge the phantom of a Great Thousand World, with many great mountains and oceans condensed into substance, as if constructed from countless laws.

Until now, he could finally activate a portion of the power of the Immortal Artifact, the Mountain Sea Pearl.

Clearly, the power of the Immortal Artifact, the Mountain Sea Pearl, did not disappoint Zhou Sui.

Although the fifth Taiyi Immortal Lightning and the sixth Taiyi Immortal Lightning were indeed incomparably terrifying, the might of the Immortal Artifact, the Mountain Sea Pearl, and the power of the Tribulation Thunder Gu were also not to be underestimated.

With the two joining forces, they still managed to block these two Taiyi Immortal Lightnings.

However, that Hell Gate could not withstand this power and collapsed with a bang.

But this was also completely sufficient; this Immortal Technique could be considered to have fulfilled its mission.

Being able to help him withstand so many Taiyi Immortal Lightnings, it has truly lived up to its name.

If this Immortal Technique could advance further, the power it could unleash would certainly be even more terrifying.

After all, it is currently only at the Beginner level.

Compared to a Major Achievement Immortal Technique, it is merely the power of a superficial layer and counts for nothing.

"Still coming?!"

Zhou Sui's expression was grave to the extreme; he had absolutely no time to rest, and even the Immortal Power within his body had not had time to be replenished, because the seventh and eighth Taiyi Immortal Lightnings also crashed down at this moment.

The sky for a radius of a thousand miles seemed to be shrouded by purple-gold lightning.

It seemed to have transformed into a boundless purple-gold Thunder Sea.

Even Immortal Beasts thousands of miles away, upon sensing this aura, were trembling and fleeing one after another.

They dared not stay where they were at all, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.

Many Immortals in the distance were also terrified and trembling uncontrollably.

"This is too absurd, is this still a True Immortal Thunder Tribulation? Even if a True Immortal appeared here, they would be struck dead, right?"

"More than just a True Immortal, I think even an Earth Immortal might not be able to withstand it."

"How could such a True Immortal Thunder Tribulation appear? What kind of peerless monster could possibly withstand it?"

Many Immortals were dumbfounded.

They felt their own bodies trembling; it seemed as if streaks of lightning were flashing, making one's hair stand on end.

Even their own Primordial Spirits seemed to be torn apart by the lightning in the distance.

It is truly unimaginable what level of pressure that Human Race prodigy staying at the center of the Thunder Tribulation is enduring.

But they also dared not approach to watch.

They feared that the Taiyi Immortal Lightning Tribulation would spread to them, thereby inviting a great disaster.

"Kill."

In an instant, Zhou Sui did not hesitate and immediately sacrificed the Immortal Artifacts on his person one by one.

The Mountain Sea Pearl, Emperor Demon Hammer, Nine Dragon Copper Treasure Mirror, Slaying Immortal Flying Knife, and the Nine-Colored Five-Direction Flag—these were the five great Immortal Artifacts he had obtained previously, and after years of refining, they were already like his own Natal Immortal Artifacts.

They immediately flew into mid-air, their bodies blooming with streaks of golden light of laws.

It seemed that at this moment, infinite power of laws gathered together, forming a massive golden light screen, upon which appeared densely packed law Runes.

Dong! Dong! Dong!!!

The terrifying Taiyi Immortal Lightning fell, fiercely bombarding the various Immortal Artifacts, erupting with terrifying destructive power.

For a time, the five great Immortal Artifacts were struck charred, and the spiritual light on their bodies was extinguished.

But regardless, through the power of the five great Immortal Artifacts, he still managed to block the seventh and eighth Taiyi Immortal Lightnings.

At this moment, Zhou Sui felt the Immortal Power within his body consuming rapidly.

One must know that the Immortal Power within his body was already more than a hundred times that of an ordinary True Immortal, yet even so, after experiencing the bombardment of eight Taiyi Immortal Lightnings, it had actually exhausted seven or eight tenths of the Immortal Power in his body.

If an ordinary Great Vehicle Cultivator were to experience the Taiyi Immortal Lightning Tribulation, they would likely have died long ago.

It would be impossible to hold out until the eighth Taiyi Immortal Lightning.

"Are you kidding me? The ninth Taiyi Immortal Lightning is actually ten times the sum of the previous eight?!"

In an instant, Zhou Sui's expression changed drastically.

He had originally thought the power of the ninth Taiyi Immortal Lightning would be at most double that of the eighth; who could have imagined that the power would suddenly surge tenfold, which is simply beyond imagination.

The eighth Taiyi Immortal Lightning was already incomparably terrifying, but on top of that foundation, it actually increased tenfold.

This was already power capable of killing an Earth Immortal.

Whoosh—

Above the firmament, hundreds of kilometers of black tribulation clouds churned, gathering an aura of destruction; from the cracks in the Void, countless energies of Tribulation Lightning surged forth, all converging together.

It seemed as if thousands upon thousands of purple-gold Tribulation Lightning bolts had condensed into a vast, purple-gold Thunder Sea.

It was even accompanied by patterns of Heavenly Law, forming a natural Thunder Array.

It was as if an Immortal Thunder Array had taken shape.

This force rippled across a region of several thousand kilometers, causing the Void to tremble and ripples to appear.

"It's over, that person undergoing the tribulation is definitely finished."

"With such power of the Heavenly Tribulation, even an Earth Immortal could not block it."

"That's right, even the Heavens want to destroy them; this already belongs to the Heavenly Punishment Thunder."

"It's too exaggerated; just how monstrous is the person undergoing the tribulation to have triggered such a Thunder Tribulation?"

"It's merely a True Immortal Thunder Tribulation, yet it's fiercer than an Earth Immortal Thunder Tribulation; this is truly absurd."

Many immortals were dumbfounded.

They looked at the purple-gold Thunder Sea in the distant sky, each of them shivering and their scalps tingling.

If such a terrifying purple Thunder Sea were to strike down, even an Earth Immortal would perish and their soul would dissipate.

Naturally, a True Immortal would also be unable to block it.

Let alone a tiny mortal Cultivator.

They could not imagine what kind of power could possibly withstand such an Immortal Thunder Tribulation.

Originally, some Immortal Beasts inhabiting the depths of the Manxiang Mountain Range were also startled awake at this moment.

One after another, ancient auras awakened.

After all, the aura of this power was enough to threaten them as well.

Their divine senses swept over immediately, wanting to know what had happened.

"No way, it's actually a True Immortal Thunder Tribulation, yet the momentum is so vast."

"Has another Human Race monster been born? The Heavens truly favor the Human Race."

"Detestable humans; they are clearly just short-lived beings, yet geniuses emerge one after another."

"Heh, what is there to fear? I don't think that Human Race monster can survive; they will definitely die under the Thunder Tribulation."

"That's right, if they can really survive this Thunder Tribulation, I will eat my own excrement on the spot."

Many ancient Immortal Beasts discussed among themselves.

Originally, a mere True Immortal Thunder Tribulation could not have attracted the attention of these ancient Immortal Beasts.

But the ninth Taiyi Immortal Lightning Tribulation was simply too terrifying, having transformed into a purple-gold Thunder Sea hundreds of kilometers wide.

Even immortals of the Earth Immortal Realm were shivering and trembling uncontrollably.

Such a bizarre event naturally awakened the ancient Immortal Beasts, who wanted to know what had happened.

Clearly, the ripples caused by this tribulation were far too great.

Fortunately, the tribulation was not chosen to take place in Qingpu City, otherwise, with the appearance of the Taiyi Immortal Lightning Tribulation, Zhou Sui would certainly have become a target for everyone.

At that point, it is possible even his ancestors of eighteen generations would have been investigated.

This would also have caused his plan to remain in the Immortal World to go bankrupt.

However, by undergoing the tribulation in the Manxiang Mountain Range, even if it attracted the attention of many living beings, the obstruction of the infinite thunder light meant that many immortals would be unable to discern Zhou Sui's identity.

"Is the ninth Taiyi Immortal Lightning actually this terrifying?"

"It is worthy of being the tribulation of becoming an immortal."

"For every Cultivator, it is an unprecedented great tribulation."

Zhou Sui took a deep breath.

Originally, he thought he would be able to easily pass this True Immortal Thunder Tribulation, but he had still underestimated the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal World.

The power of the True Immortal Thunder Tribulation and the cultivation level of the person undergoing the tribulation are actually directly proportional.

The more powerful the cultivation, the more terrifying the Thunder Tribulation that descends.

Now, he had almost exhausted all his means.

Not only had he unleashed various Immortal Techniques and utilized many Gu Insects, he had even used all his Immortal Artifacts.

Yet even so, he had not reached the end of his rope.

Because he still had one final trump card.

At this moment, Zhou Sui's divine sense landed on the secret treasure deep within his sea of consciousness—the Gu God Bowl.

To tell the truth, it was his true life-bound Dharma Treasure.

It was this secret treasure that brought him into this world and bestowed upon him infinite power.

Yet to this day, he still could not know what level of power this secret treasure had truly reached.

Perhaps even Immortal Artifacts could not be mentioned in the same breath as the Gu God Bowl.

He could sense that the power of the Gu God Bowl seemed to transcend the level of Immortal Artifacts.

It was just that his cultivation was too weak before, and he was completely unable to unleash even a fraction of this secret treasure's power.

But as of today, he had become a True Immortal and condensed a True Immortal Dao Fruit, so he could finally activate a small portion of its power.

This was also the greatest trump card he possessed.

The next second, the Gu God Bowl immediately flew out and appeared above his head.

It did not emit any aura at all, looking just like an ordinary bowl.

It just floated quietly in mid-air like that.

Boom~~

The ninth Taiyi Immortal Lightning Tribulation crashed down; it was as if the energy of the purple-gold Thunder Sea, spanning hundreds of kilometers above the sky, had all poured down at once—this power was enough to kill an Earth Immortal.

It was even accompanied by thousands of Immortal Runes, wreathed in countless Law of Line.

A terrifying aura permeated the surroundings, seemingly capable of destroying everything.

But when these Taiyi Immortal Lightning strikes landed on the Gu God Bowl, they were swallowed up by the Gu God Bowl with ease.

It was as if a stone had dropped into the ocean, unable to stir up any significant waves.

It seemed as though the Gu God Bowl had transformed into a black hole, devouring all energy in the world, refusing nothing that came its way.

No matter how terrifying the ninth Taiyi Immortal Lightning was, it could not harm it in the slightest.

Before long, the lightning light in mid-air vanished completely, and the Tribulation Lightning energy above the firmament also disappeared without a trace.

Clearly, the ninth Taiyi Immortal Lightning had exhausted the energy of the Heavenly Tribulation; not even a single drop remained.

Thud!

Suddenly, the black tribulation clouds covering hundreds of kilometers dissipated with a roar, and the original Void cracks sealed up rapidly, as if nothing had happened just moments before.

Taiyi Immortal Lightning Tribulation, passed.

"Is this the supreme treasure, the Gu God Bowl?"

Zhou Sui was filled with wonder; this was his first time taking out the Gu God Bowl to resist a Heavenly Tribulation, but he had not expected the power of the Gu God Bowl to be so unfathomable, able to swallow the ninth Taiyi Immortal Lightning with such ease.

It was simply effortless.

Moreover, he had not even activated this supreme treasure much, yet it had helped him dissipate the tribulation so easily.

One could imagine the formidable nature of the Gu God Bowl; it was definitely not just for refining Gu Insect.

There must surely be other abilities that exist.

It was just that his cultivation base was too weak before, so he could only use the ability to refine Gu Insect.

As his cultivation base improves, he will certainly be able to activate more of the Gu God Bowl's abilities.

He felt that perhaps after he became a True Immortal, he could gradually explore the power of the Gu God Bowl.

"Hmm."

Originally, Zhou Sui wanted to carefully investigate the power possessed by the Gu God Bowl, but the next second, he was shocked to discover that the True Immortal Dao Fruit deep within his sea of consciousness had begun to stir.

It seemed the True Immortal Dao Fruit had transformed into a massive vortex, beginning to swallow the Creation Qi scattered all around.

No, it was not just as simple as Creation Qi.

There were also wisps of mysterious Dao Rhyme.

For a Great Vehicle Cultivator, the True Immortal Thunder Tribulation is a tribulation, but it is also a tremendous stroke of fortune.

The more terrifying the power of the True Immortal Thunder Tribulation, the more fortune one gains.

Of course, mere Creation Qi does not count for much; although it can indeed raise an immortal's cultivation base, for an immortal, what does cultivation base matter? As long as there is enough time, it can naturally be mastered.

In fact, for an immortal, what is even more precious is the Dao Rhyme, or perhaps one could say, the enlightenment regarding the Heavenly Law.

This is an enlightenment that can be met by chance but not sought.

Only when crossing a tribulation, when the heavens are in turmoil and the Void cracks open, can immortals break through the rigid laws of the Immortal World, thereby obtaining the Law Dao Rhyme from the depths of the Immortal World's Origin.

It is precisely because of this that the more violent the tribulation, the more Law Dao Rhyme leaks out.

Now, Zhou Sui has experienced the Taiyi Immortal Lightning Tribulation; this was simply an unprecedented True Immortal Thunder Tribulation.

Therefore, the turmoil caused to the Immortal World's Origin was also immense, naturally causing more Law Dao Rhyme to dissipate.

"This."

Zhou Sui was very excited; he circulated the Gu God Scripture, and the True Immortal Dao Fruit within his body transformed into a chaotic vortex, swallowing the Law Dao Rhyme scattered everywhere, not letting even a single wisp of Law Dao Rhyme escape.

After all, these Law Dao Rhyme would not exist for very long; they might only exist for a mere minute, or even just tens of seconds.

If he did not take the opportunity to swallow them and integrate the Law Dao Rhyme into his Dao Fruit, then these Dao Rhyme would merge into the depths of the Immortal World's Origin and would never be obtained by immortals again.

Therefore, this period of time is crucial for a True Immortal; it is the best time to seize opportunities.

Rumble~~

At this moment, Zhou Sui sensed that the True Immortal Dao Fruit deep within his sea of consciousness was blooming with endless golden light, its entire body transparent, as if it were a great sun.

As wisps of Law Dao Rhyme merged into the True Immortal Dao Fruit, Fazhe Wenlu appeared on the surface of the Dao Fruit, winding around its surface, circle after circle.

This also made this Dao Fruit seem to become even more miraculous, seemingly containing unfathomable power.

"There seem to be immortals coveting the area; this place is not suitable for staying long, better to return quickly."

In an instant, Zhou Sui's Heart Eye Power spread to the surroundings, sensing that immortals had appeared around him.

Clearly, his Taiyi Immortal Lightning Tribulation this time had attracted the attention of quite a few immortals.

Just now, while the Taiyi Immortal Lightning Tribulation had not yet ended, the other parties would not approach.

But now that it has ended, they would naturally come over to see what happened, wanting to know the background of the person who crossed the tribulation.

However, he did not intend to meet with this group of immortals.

In short, the less information he leaves in the Immortal World, the better; this way, the chance of him being exposed will be greatly reduced.

Whoosh!

Thinking of this, Zhou Sui's figure flashed, instantly leaving this place and returning to the Xuanhuang World.

Only the Mortal World could bring him a sense of security.
