Chapter 99

The Chaotic Ancient's Dao-proving tribulation has arrived at its final moment.

It is also the most violent moment.

Endless heavenly tribulation descended, practically the most terrifying tribulation light in the world!

In that direction of the Universe Borderlands, immeasurable thunder dragons surged and churned, as if boiling, each one vivid and lifelike, like Immortal Domain True Dragons, terrifying beyond measure.

Finally they converged into form, suppressing and killing downward, intending to grind away everything below.

Luan Gu also suffered severe damage in the thunder tribulation.

Countless times, his body shattered and bones crushed, supreme treasure blood sprinkled the starry sky like a spring, even the Nine Revolutions Divine Axe above his head perished in his place several times, already nearing collapse.

And he forcefully raised his essence blood, reconstituted his physical body, and furthermore employed various forbidden secret techniques to oppose the heavenly punishment.

This terrifying scene caused the faces of numerous Emperor Road Contenders to turn pale.

They were all Quasi-Emperor realm experts, and there was no lack of those nearing the absolute peak, all having walked step by step through various thunder tribulations.

But the Great Emperor tribulation Luan Gu was currently crossing obviously somewhat surpassed their imagination.

Causing them to involuntarily question their own hearts: if they were under that thunder sea, would they be able to cross it, or turn to ashes?

"Boom—!"

Thunder rumbled, tribulation light shook the world, almost attracting the attention of the entire Great Universe.

In this lifetime, will a new Great Emperor appear?

Everyone was waiting in anticipation, watching, both excited and uneasy.

The Ancient Venerables awakened in the several great Life Forbidden Zones also all focused on that stretch of Universe Borderlands.

Even Gu Xuan was the same.

Suddenly!

Right at this moment.

In the skies above the Honghuang Ancient Star.

A universe crack abruptly appeared, within it surged chaotic qi, seemingly originating from another unknown Chaos Realm.

From within the crack, a strand of immortal light broke through immeasurable chaos, carrying annihilation-like world-shocking power, ambush-killing toward a certain region within the Kunlun Mountains!

Cheng Immortal Pond!

This terrifying ambush kill cannot be called silent and traceless; its prestige can be described as unprecedented throughout the ages, absolutely above generations of Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors!

However.

Its timing appeared extremely exquisite, precisely the moment when the Dao-proving tribulation was most intense.

To the extent that almost no one noticed everything happening in this distant Honghuang Ancient Star.

But ultimately it was only almost.

Even though the majority of Gu Xuan's attention was on Luan Gu's tribulation crossing side.

But the instant that strand of immortal light just appeared, he still perceived it.

Who is acting?

Vision so venomous, timing so impeccable, truly worthy of being called traceless as an antelope hanging its horns, flawless.

Because Void's nirvana within Cheng Immortal Pond has already reached the most subtle moment.

If suffering this heavy blow, it's possible nirvana would fail from here on, body dead and Dao extinguished.

And that person's merit participates in creation, one strike's power so terrifying, already not beneath Gu Xuan, even faintly surpassing!

Even the Immortal Ground Great Array that Gu Xuan and Void jointly set up in the past could not block it; in an instant it would collapse, unable to stop that shocking-immortals-weeping-gods near-immortal light!

Such strength that shakes ancient and dazzles present, plus that unique qi mechanism, its owner's true identity is already about to be revealed!

Di Zun!

Although Gu Xuan had some wariness toward this person.

He still did not expect Di Zun would appear this early, and at this kind of moment abruptly act, ambush-killing Void.

No time to think carefully.

Boom!

Gu Xuan across countless star systems, directly hurled the Chaos Square Vessel, piercing through the universe, smashing onto that terrifying world-shocking immortal light.

This moment, his whole body erupted with immeasurable divine light, brilliant to the extreme.

And then.

He was like reversing the Time River, one step out, crossing endless star domains, arriving in the skies above the Honghuang Ancient Star.

The next instant, directly one fist strike, Heavenly Emperor combat power exploding to the utmost, confronting the owner of that immortal light from the Chaos Realm.

And the opponent also did not stop; even with Gu Xuan obstructing, no worry no joy, not a shred of emotional fluctuation.

This is a kind of transcendent confidence, also a kind of absolute grand magnanimity.

Hum!

Unparalleled world-shocking annihilation divine ability descended, divine aura reaching the ultimate peak.

Gu Xuan recognized it; this is the Nine Secrets combined technique.

He also knows how to use it; in the past he once used this to confront the Supremes in the Forbidden Zones, and today on another person he once again saw this divine ability's brilliance.

At this moment, this divine ability unleashed in Di Zun's hands even more blooms supreme mighty power, surpassing ancient and modern Emperors and Kings!

This is also not difficult to understand.

The Dao has no end.

Nine Secrets combined, invincible through ancient and modern!

This saying originally spread down from Di Zun's world-suppressing era, obviously created by him.

When the absolute peaks of the nine great human realm Dao domains perfectly merge, it has already displayed a kind of immortal-shocking power, surpassing ancient, modern, and future!

Even generation after generation of Taigu Royals and Great Emperors witnessing this would tremble in awe and sigh in admiration!

Boom!

The star domain where the Honghuang Ancient Star resides shook violently, boundless raging waves like terrifying surges sweeping across the Endless Star Domain.

Even the Chaos Realm where the Di Zun stands could not avoid it; the Chaos Qi within vibrated and surged, as if Infinite Divine Tribulation was raging within!

This collision was too violent.

Its momentum was vast and unmatched, even overshadowing the Great Emperor Tribulation in another Universe Borderlands!

And the aftermath did not stop; merely a few leaked strands easily shattered the Taiyu.

One great star after another exploded in succession, endless star systems turned to smoke and dust, terrifying to the extreme.

And this was still with Gu Xuan reaching out in time to block the other fluctuations heading toward life stars; otherwise who knows how many Star Rivers and living beings would have suffered calamity!

The other side.

Within the Chaos Realm, the vast Chaos Qi was shaken apart, and Gu Xuan also saw the Di Zun within.

It was a tall, middle-aged man of divine martial bearing, majestic figure — not exactly handsome, yet possessing a supreme, awe-inspiring dignity that made one involuntarily want to submit!

And Chaos Dao Principles surged around him, with the aura of Universe Opening and Ten Thousand Daos reincarnation circulating.

Such an existence, powerful to the Absolute Peak, even the Undying Heavenly Emperor seems unable to match!

Only one at Gu Xuan's height can barely contend with him, yet still slightly falls short.

And faintly.

Gu Xuan also sensed from the Di Zun a strand of strange aura, seemingly not belonging to this universe, somewhat yin-filthy and cruel, making him extremely uncomfortable.

This strand of aura was weak to the extreme.

Had it not been for Gu Xuan's current realm, and because combat brought the distance much closer, he would certainly not have perceived it.

At this moment, his heart tightened slightly.

Sure enough, something is fishy!

"From the Undying Golden Body, a figure like you emerges — impressive, yet still not enough to watch."

A majestic voice transmitted, carrying the cold indifference of ten thousand ages.

But the great battle continued, and at their cultivation level, every strike was terrifyingly supreme, allowing not the slightest distraction.

Soundlessly, another streak of Immortal Light killed over.

Within it was the Di Zun's unstoppable palm; though separated by vast distance, that killing intent that severs everything ambushed before Gu Xuan's face.

That palm appeared gentle like jade, yet was like the hardest Immortal Golds fused into one — gold and iron clashing, mixed with surging Chaos Qi, destroying heaven and extinguishing earth, slaying killing gods!

This is absolutely the most terrifying killing move Gu Xuan has ever seen in his life!

Even the Undying Heavenly Emperor's painstakingly plotted ambush kill of the past falls short!

The current Di Zun, not to say he has already become a Red Dust Immortal, has already taken a big step on this path, surpassing Gu Xuan and the Undying Heavenly Emperor.

At this moment, a great sense of crisis arose in Gu Xuan's heart.

Yet he could not help but feel some admiration — worthy of being the Di Zun!

But that is all.

For tens of thousands of years, his repeated Nirvanas, how much time spent in enlightenment and bitter cultivation — besides guarding against the Supremes in the Life Forbidden Zones, he always had the psychological preparation that one day he might face an even stronger enemy.

Just didn't expect to face the Di Zun this early.

Hum!

Golden light burst from Gu Xuan's eyes, like two supreme, unmatched pillars of light, scanning the Di Zun in the Chaos Realm, wanting to observe his true nature — whether truly possessed by strange power.

Simultaneously, boundless divine light rippled around him, even his Mei Shen seemed to split open, obviously his Dao power operating to the extreme.

Tens of thousands of years, this is him being forced to this extent once again.

Before this, only when solo battling two Forbidden Zone Supremes or the Undying Heavenly Emperor was it so.

Dao Sacrifice Heavenly Merit!

Facing the ultimate power of the Di Zun's bombardment, he also unleashed his own Heavenly Emperor Level Forbidden Chapter Secret Technique.

Two slightly blurry phantoms sat cross-legged in the void behind him; in the starry sky a grand Zen Chant recited, as if crossing time and space, drifting from that distant past and future.

Those were Gu Xuan's Past Self and Dao Self — one born in the past, one standing in the future, transcending their respective times and spaces, manifesting here.

And this is only the initial form of this ultimate secret technique, still limited to the Human Dao Domain.

If one day in the future, Gu Xuan ascends to that vast, boundless Immortal Path, or even higher.

Perhaps countless Past Selves and Dao Selves from past and future will manifest, all the mighty powers of ancient, present, and future gathered in one body!

And not only that.

The Dao Sacrifice Heavenly Merit can not only sacrifice one's own self; all of the opponent's can be sacrificed too — including their Great Dao, Dharma Body, Soul...

Even reaching that higher unknowable realm, the Heavenly Heart Great Dao, Three Thousand Great Universes, etc. can all be refined and fused into oneself — of course Gu Xuan is still far too distant from that realm.

But at least at this moment.

Gu Xuan borrowing past and future combat power can contend with the Di Zun in one battle.

And as his technique operates, sacrificing the Di Zun's killing power over like a furnace, smelting a hundred scriptures.

All of this occurs in one hundred-millionth of an instant.

A flash in the vast sea, the Xing Hai turns to dust.

This moment.

Time itself seems to stagnate; in the vast Star Universe, an unprecedented great destruction is about to occur!

Critical moment.

The Chaos Square Vessel revolved, enveloping this starry sky.

And with a boom, the Chaos Two Instruments Killing Array fell from within, also firmly locking down the battlefield.

Pop!

After the violent great collision, even a Heavenly Emperor-level imperial weapon, the Chaos Square Vessel which was nearly Connect-to-Immortal, trembled violently, nearly shattering, with several terrifying great cracks appearing.

And the Chaos Two Instruments Killing Array outside completely collapsed, unable to suppress such terrifying fluctuations.

Gu Xuan staggered back, his palm drenched in fresh blood, palm bones turned to mud, crystalline Treasure Blood flowing and spattering across the Star Universe.

This was the first time he had been injured in tens of thousands of years!

Not even when fighting the Undying Heavenly Emperor back then had it been like this.

But he ultimately still blocked the Imperial Venerable's fatal strike.

And this bought the Void in the Cheng Immortal Pond the most precious time!

The next moment.

Inside the Cheng Immortal Pond, the Void suddenly opened his eyes, seeing the terrifying clash above the Ancient Star at the crack in the Universe.

With a boom, he took one step out from inside the Cheng Immortal Pond, arriving in the starry sky, to jointly face the Imperial Venerable with Gu Xuan.

Without manifesting surging Blood Qi, his divine power was gathered into one body, and then suddenly exploded.

Hum!

As the Void Emperor Fist was blasted out, a strange Void Great Dao locked onto the Imperial Venerable, within which even a strand of Shi Guang Fa Lv faintly appeared, to divide the Imperial Venerable's Rou Ti and Primordial Spirit.

The Combat Power erupted by this strike was already not much weaker than Gu Xuan today.

Even the Imperial Venerable had to take it seriously, otherwise he might very likely suffer a great loss.

But at this moment, the Void's complexion was slightly pale, even his aura was somewhat unstable.

Obviously.

He perceived the Imperial Venerable's terror, and without waiting for Nirvana to complete, forcibly Appeared to assist Gu Xuan.

Perhaps he had no need to do so, or could wait until his own Nirvana was completely finished, reaching the realm of perfection and flawlessness before Acting.

And Gu Xuan alone fighting the Imperial Venerable did not necessarily mean he would suffer a great loss.

But the Void ultimately was unwilling to let such a thing happen!

He would rather his Nirvana be flawed, but Appear early, otherwise if by chance there were an accident, he would find it absolutely hard to forgive himself.

On the other side.

Gu Xuan sighed, he perceived the Void's condition.

But in fact.

Him alone fighting the Imperial Venerable was indeed somewhat Huang Xian, even with the possibility of injury, everything was uncertain.

Because the Imperial Venerable opposite was indeed terrifying.

As the Ting Zhu of the Heavenly Court in the Mythic Era, even though the Teach Ascend Immortal Fail occurred and he suffered heavy injuries, after hibernating in Chaos for endless years, he had long since recovered.

And achieved the Heavenly Emperor Level fruition position, even already nearly an Immortal!

If not for Acting across the Universe crack, his killing power would be slightly discounted, and this battle would be even more uncertain.

This battle erupted too suddenly and was also very swift, only two moves at all, the second move was covered by Gu Xuan's Chaos Square Vessel.

And the timing was also special, just at the most boom moment of Luan Gu's Imperial Tribulation.

Outside World.

The vast majority of people knew nothing of this, only a few Wujin Zhizun sensed the abnormality at that distant starry sky of the Honghuang Ancient Star.

The various Supremes saw the Saint Emperor's dazzling Ji Zhi imperial weapon erupt with shocking seven-colored Immortal Light.

They also saw that vast Chaos Qi.

But that was all.

Only from the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, a beam of Ascend Immortal Light boomed out, crossing endless starry sky, breaking into that vast Chaos.

This was the supreme Secret Technique created by the Desolate Lord to oppose the Daoist Nine Secrets.

Now combined into one and struck out, it was not much weaker than the Imperial Venerable's Nine Secrets United.

"Hmph!"

Sensing the immeasurable might within that Ascend Immortal power, even though slightly weaker than him, it would not differ too much, the Imperial Venerable also coldly snorted.

And Gu Xuan also forcefully raised his essence blood, the Dao Sacrifice Heavenly Art operated to the extreme, striking out the strongest blow of his life, whether in this life he could reach this realm again was unknown.

And the Imperial Venerable was not the slightest bit afraid, facing the strongest Killing Moves of several Heavenly Emperor Level Experts without retreating.

Both sides activated their utmost Combat Power, with brilliant Nearly Immortal light bursting forth.

At the center of the battle, Chaos Qi scattered, and even space and time seemed to crack.

But the so-called great battle actually did not last long.

Gu Xuan, using the Dao Sacrifice Heavenly Art, borrowed the Combat Power of the Past Self and Dao Self, but could not last too long.

And the Imperial Venerable likewise was unwilling to expose himself, affecting his later plans.

And after all he had not truly achieved Red Dust Immortal, and faced the pincer attack of the Desolate Lord and the Void, also having the risk of suffering heavy injuries.

Therefore.

After five moves, the Imperial Venerable and Gu Xuan clashed for the last strike, and also transformed a Dao Body to hard-shake the Void Emperor Fist.

But ultimately.

The Imperial Venerable muffled groaned, his Dao Principles all around somewhat disordered, retreating into that endless Chaos.

And in that subtle instant, on Gu An's face of unmatched prestige, a trace of struggle faintly appeared, seen by Gu Xuan.

On the other side.

Gu Xuan also retreated several steps, staggering, blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth.

The Void was no better off, complexion pale as snow, figure swaying as if about to fall, but ultimately he stood firm.

Not long after.

The eerie Yu Kong could no longer hold, slowly closing, and the Chaos Jie where the Emperor Sovereign stood was no longer visible at all.
