Chapter 638: Ten Directions World-Extinguishing Tribulation! But It's a Jumping Strike!
The Ascension Tribulation!
Also known as the God-Ascending Tribulation!
It is a step that all living beings must pass through when ascending from the mortal realm to become gods, and no one can be exempt.
Heavenly Tribulations are often severe tests that cultivators must face when advancing their realm; they are closely linked to the power of Heaven and Earth and the laws of the universe, containing the mysteries of destruction and rebirth.
Every Heavenly Tribulation is an all-encompassing test for a cultivator, not just a contest of strength, but a comprehensive challenge to their Dao Heart, perseverance, and wisdom.
Only after experiencing multiple Heavenly Tribulations can a cultivator truly transcend the mortal dust and achieve the Supreme path to immortality.
But because of Ren Yidao's shocking momentum earlier, everyone had a misconception, subconsciously feeling that he had already successfully passed the tribulation and was a newly born Immortal God.
But until now, when the blood-colored tribulation lightning struck down from the sky, rushing toward Ren Yidao with the momentum to destroy the world, everyone finally noticed the part that had been forgotten.
Until this moment, he was still not an Immortal God!
But can someone who has yet to step into the Heaven Realm of Asking Dao really display such momentum?
Crack!!!
The blood-colored tribulation lightning illuminated the entire firmament, allowing countless sleepless people to see the eerie blood-red light lighting up the dark night, looking incomparably grim and terrifying.
And that was just the beginning; it soon changed into another appearance.
Heaven and Earth lost their color, and the entire Beiming Divine Continent seemed to fall into the shadow of the apocalypse.
Above the nine heavens, thunder rolled, and purple lightning intertwined into a giant net that covered the sky and sun; every bolt of lightning tore through the long sky like a Spirit Sword, releasing deafening roars.
Above the Northern Sea, yin winds howled, and countless evil ghosts and resentful spirits grinned hideously in the darkness, attempting to erode all light in the world.
The Thunder Tribulation turned into meteors, falling from the sky like rain, carrying scorching tail flames as they rushed toward Ren Yidao.
On the firmament, golden sword light shone; streaks of golden light pierced through the void like sharp blades, cutting through everything blocking the way, illuminating one side.
Is this a test?
No.
Anyone who sees this scene would not think this is a test sent down by the heavens, but rather a genuine catastrophe.
From this terrifying momentum, it can be seen that these tribulation lightnings are not testing whether the challenger is qualified to become an immortal or ancestor, but are here to annihilate.
It is as if Heaven and Earth have detected a great disaster that must be eliminated, and are taking the initiative to clean it up at this moment.
Ren Yidao's friends and family were all worried for him.
"Yidao!!!" Yaoyue shouted anxiously as she watched the situation, wanting him to be careful, as preserving his life was the most important thing.
But she did not dare to act rashly, nor did she attempt to rush into the Heavenly Tribulation to endure it for him.
This was not only because the scene before her was more vast than the two Ascension Tribulations Yaoyue had experienced, but also because she feared disturbing Ren Yidao and doing him a disservice instead.
In fact, it was not just Yaoyue; after the world-destroying thunder tribulation descended, all Heaven Realm cultivators in the Beiming Divine Continent, including the various Immortal Gods, dared not move rashly.
Because if one were to accidentally enter the Heavenly Tribulation at this moment, they would be judged by the rules of the tribulation as a person undergoing the tribulation, and would be struck until charred black, without exception.
And because of the rules of the Heavenly Tribulation, the thunder tribulation only targets the person undergoing it and will not cause any impact on mortals or mortal objects, which allowed Li Long and the others in Wentian City to breathe a sigh of relief.
But before they could relax for long, their hearts were lifted again; it is good that mortals are unaffected, but it also means that mortals cannot provide him with any help.
The monk may run, but the temple cannot run.
As the one undergoing the tribulation, Ren Yidao simply cannot escape.
Can he really succeed?
【"Th-this is..."】
Even Sikong Yu in the Qingzhuan Dojo was dumbfounded at this moment.
Ren Yidao's proactive move had already exceeded His expectations, causing His plans to fall through again, but the scene that followed left this former Heavenly Emperor speechless.
【"Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation? Wait, no! There is also the Nether Ghost Tribulation, the Chaos Origin Tribulation, the Ziwei Imperial Tribulation, and even the Taishang Gold Tribulation!? And it's not over yet... exactly how many types of Heavenly Tribulations are mixed in here?"】
The old man who always liked to put on airs was completely uncomposed this time; unable to care that Yaochi was by his side, he couldn't help but mutter to himself:
【"When I attained the Dao back then, there were only two top-tier Heavenly Tribulations, which already shocked countless people and was called a miracle never seen before; only the scene when the Heavenly Emperor attained the Dao later was similar to mine, also a mix of two Imperial Tribulations, barely tying with me, but now..."】
His Divine Soul did not dare to poke its head out of the Qingzhuan Dojo, fearing it would attract lightning; He only dared to observe carefully, counting the scene that was intertwined like the end of the world.
【"One, two, three... eight, nine, ten!!?"】
【"Could it be that the first nine are the nine Divine Paths!?"】
The nine main peaks of the Divine Path Sect correspond to the nine Divine Paths: Five Elements, Taiyin, Taiyang, Totem, Spirit Soul...
If Ren Yidao were truly gifted and had secretly mastered all nine of these Divine Paths, Sikong Yu would not be this shocked.
【"But what does that tenth thunder tribulation correspond to!? Could it be that he really achieved that step, combining them himself to form the entire Divine Path?"】
【"..."】
Even though Sikong Yu had always been full of confidence in Ren Yidao, until the moment this kid revealed his trump card, He had not expected that Ren Yidao had actually walked so far in secret.
【"The younger generation is to be feared..."】
Sikong Yu sighed, then, feeling somewhat emotional and perhaps a bit lonely, turned and walked back to the Divine Statue.
"Are you not worried about him?"
Yaochi was somewhat puzzled; the Heavenly Emperor had been preparing to act for his disciple, even at the risk of exposing his identity, but why did he suddenly change his mind at this moment?
【"Worried? Heh."】
Sikong Yu turned his head, stroked his chin and smiled, his expression very intrigued, 【"I wanted to stand up for him before, but I changed my mind; I am not worried at all now."】
Sikong Yu looked at the thoughtful Yaochi and reminded her:
【"Do you think a heaven-gifted talent capable of creating such a huge commotion would have no backup plans?"】
Being able to secretly complete two Divine Paths counts as a genius, three is a heaven-gifted talent, and four makes Heaven and Earth move.
But this kid?
He stirred up a full ten thunder tribulations!
Having already brought forth ten full Great Daos, do you really think... he would have no preparations at all?
Believe him, my foot!
This little fox is not a good person at all; he is wicked to the core!
He is simply not human!
Seeing that Yaochi still held some doubt in her gaze, Sikong Yu waved his hand and said casually:
"Wait, you will understand very soon."
The Heavenly Tribulation descended from the sky with extreme speed, but in this short span of time, Ren Yidao's thinking seemed to become even faster.
His speed made time itself slow down; thoughts surged in his mind, and his understanding of the Myriad Generations Art grew deeper and deeper.
Even at this moment, Ren Yidao was still continuously growing stronger!
Just as Sikong Yu thought, everything before their eyes was no accident, but entirely within Ren Yidao's plan.
At the very beginning, Ren Yidao had only intended to achieve the Dao simply, first squeezing into the circle of Immortal Gods, and then following the path of "storing grain widely and claiming the throne slowly" to secretly make up for his own deficiencies and develop in stealth.
But he did not expect the situation to change suddenly; the moral bottom line of that group of fellows was even lower than he had imagined, and they actually could not endure it at this time, which forced him to advance his original plan.
All plans, fully implemented!
Since you are forcing me, then don't blame me for using you as a sacrifice for my banner.
Before today, the Immortal Gods did not know his name, treating him as a junior disciple relying on the protection of others.
But after today, he wants to make everyone understand one principle.
Perhaps this will be an era where the geniuses of the end-times are as brilliant as the stars, and the Immortal Gods shine like the bright moon.
But he, Ren Yidao, will be the most scorching sun of this era.
The scorching sun, it is I!
If the Fox Immortal, who previously presented himself as the "Fox-Faced Buddha," had revealed to all parties in the Western Desert Divine Continent the side of Ren Yidao's nature that was as bright as the moon and inclusive of the world...
Then at this moment, what Ren Yidao is about to show the world is the violent and fierce nature hidden deep in his bones.
Toward the Human Race, he harbors kindness, considers himself human, and views them as kin.
Toward the Demon Race, he hides a trace of pity in his heart, unwilling to treat this group of fellows, who are foolish to the point of being somewhat cute, as prey.
Caught between these two races, Ren Yidao's situation has actually always been awkward; he has always been timid and cautious, unwilling to truly reveal his ruthlessness.
But when facing the Immortal Gods, especially those with ill intentions preparing to strike at him from the shadows... he will not have any psychological burden.
He intends to show his strength without reservation this time and have a thorough outburst.
The aura on his body grows continuously stronger, carrying a surging momentum as he charges toward the four directions to take the initiative.
This man is going to fight!!!
So you bastards are the Immortal Gods, right?
Come over here!
Not coming? Scared?
Fine, then I'll come over to find you!
He is very clear about just how pathetic this group of fellows is, having just awakened and not yet fully adjusted their states.
The one who died in the Western Desert previously already proved to Ren Yidao that although they look powerful now, as if in their prime state, in reality, they are not much stronger than the Ask Dao Peak!
After experiencing their quality firsthand and figuring out the bottom line of the Immortal Gods, Ren Yidao is not panicked in the slightest.
Although these fellows still hold onto the Great Daos, their strength is less than thirty percent of their peak period; while they are still recovering rapidly, this power is still far from enough.
At the very least, for him, Ren Yidao, it is not worth looking at.
And as for how to do it, Ren Yidao has long had plans in his heart.
And what he is about to do next.
Is an even more excessive thing...
Before taking action, Ren Yidao confirmed with his partner one last time.
"Ren Huan, are you sure our plan is truly feasible?"
"Of course!"
Ren Huan's somewhat excited voice rang out in the depths of Ren Yidao's heart, carrying thick malice and mockery: "Who told these fellows to be so self-righteous and actually be so arrogant as to come with their true bodies? If you don't give them a big one, you'd be doing a disservice to the poses they've struck!"
After becoming truly close with Ren Yidao, Ren Huan let go of their inner knots; the two often chatted in their minds, and they also learned many strange terms.
"They are all planning to make a move against you; you wouldn't be soft-hearted at this time, would you? The Ren Yidao I know is not such a weak fellow."
Ren Yidao sneered in his heart and then retorted: "You seem a bit excited?"
"Nonsense! Thinking about the big event we are about to do, don't you feel excited?"
"Are there your enemies in there?"
"I don't know, and I don't care."
And Ren Yidao, as the person involved at the center of the storm and the initiator of all the world-ending disasters, did not keep his Sect Leader waiting for long.
Ren Yidao's four bodies looked up simultaneously and said indifferently to the lightning striking down:
"My Dao is free; I leap outside the Three Realms and am not within the Five Elements."
"The Heavenly Tribulation cannot approach my body."
"The Heavenly Tribulation cannot destroy my soul."
"The Heavenly Tribulation cannot harm my Dao."
"This is the Freedom Dao."
As one decree after another was spoken quickly from Ren Yidao's mouth, under the shocked gaze of the world, it actually caused the Thunder Tribulation descending from the sky to stop in mid-air; bolts of thunder circled within one zhang of Ren Yidao, but they could no longer get half an inch closer.
!!!
It stopped!?
How is this possible!!?
Ordinary Dao-attainment Heavenly Tribulations cannot be influenced, so how could he possibly control such a terrifying Ten Directions World-Extinguishing Tribulation!!!
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
There must be some trickery in this!
"Hehe..."
After finishing these commands, Ren Yidao moved to one side, and the Heavenly Tribulation indeed followed him as he had expected, continuing to circle around him.
"Hahaha!"
He licked his somewhat parched lips, the smile on his face growing increasingly frantic.
He was not as calm as he appeared on the surface; in fact, there was a bit of a gamble involved.
But clearly, he had bet correctly.
Trickery? Of course there was.
Naturally, it was impossible for Ren Yidao to control the Thunder Tribulation so easily, but he could deceive it.
With the Freedom Great Dao as his foundation, the Western Desert Dao Fruit as an aid, and relying on the aura of Ren Huan, Ren Yidao briefly deceived Heaven and Earth.
Although he had only temporarily restricted the Thunder Tribulation and would certainly be exposed if too much time passed, and he could not completely shake them off, being able to delay for a period of time was already enough.
Because Ren Yidao did not intend to flee.
Instead, he was preparing to find some helpers.
Some... hmm, kind-hearted people willing to share the burden for him.
Such people would not be easy to find on ordinary days, but for some reason, there happened to be some kind-hearted people here.
"Yo!"
Ren Yidao looked toward the Immortal Gods who were now somewhat realizing that something was amiss, and he revealed a familiar, friendly smile.
"Everyone, what a coincidence! You are all here too?"
His smile was brilliant, and his face even carried a hint of the shyness unique to a youth, but the words he spoke were more terrifying and ruthless than the Thunder Tribulation circling his body.
He said:
"It is fate that we have met; why not leave behind your cultivation and block this Heavenly Tribulation for me, how about it?"
"Since you do not object, I will take it that you agree."
How would the Immortal Gods dare to respond at a time like this?
Each and every one of them was terrified that any slight movement would leak their aura and attract the Thunder Tribulation to their door, so they all kept their mouths shut while thinking of ways to break the situation.
But Ren Yidao did not give them any chance to regret it.
The next moment...
Ren Yidao, having split into four, jumped up with a happy expression and then fiercely pounced toward the Immortal Gods who wore looks of terror.
Carrying the Ten Directions World-Extinguishing Tribulation!
Jump strike!
Ha!!!
