Chapter 42

he couldn't see through a single one!

And the aura around them was one more unfathomable and treacherous than the next!

How could this not shock him?!

And just when he was shocked and inexplicable,

Li Taibai on the side asked impatiently,

"Is the Second Dragon Head breaking through?!"

While speaking,

a look of excitement and agitation surged on his face.

Because

he hadn't forgotten

that the Second Dragon Head, Ling Donglai, had long reached the Heaven-Human Peak in cultivation.

If he were truly breaking through,

then it would be the Supreme Mythical Realm he yearned for so much!

If there were still no ripples, that would be a ghost!

Once these words were spoken,

the others looked at Ximen Wudi in unison.

On their faces, they were also filled with anticipation.

"Not bad, you all should grasp this well."

Ximen Wudi nodded.

While confirming, he didn't forget to give a word of advice.

After all,

this was the Supreme Mythical Realm!

Next, he would have to endure the test of heaven and earth.

This was precious experience for them!

Not to mention how much they would benefit,

at the very least, it would provide a very good reference for their future breakthroughs!

Having obtained the exact answer,

the six people's hearts tightened.

They quickly straightened their faces and looked up at the void solemnly.

Seeing that the sky, which was originally cloudless,

in a short while,

gathered countless thunderclouds.

After a few breaths,

under the invisible gravitational force,

the thunderclouds covered the sky and the sun, and the void was filled with hunting winds!

Deep in the clouds,

amidst the endless thunder flashing,

it seemed to be brewing something.

At the same time, a terrifying pressure that made one's heart jump covered them.

It instantly locked onto the pavilion where Ling Donglai was located.

"Retreat!"

Ximen Wudi gave a light shout.

Holding Li Canghai, he disappeared from where he was instantly.

Li Taibai and the other five saw this and quickly retreated to the distance.

And just a few breaths after they left,

a loud laugh full of joy resounded through the sky.

"Hahaha....."

"Sitting alone for twenty years, moving forward to become an immortal!"

"Breaking the old shackles of the past, today I know who I am!"

Accompanying the poem,

Ling Donglai appeared abruptly in the void.

He stood in the void, laughing proudly in the wind.

He looked so unrestrained and free!

The terrifying aura radiating from his body

also converged bit by bit at this moment, until it disappeared completely.

Making people look at him at first glance,

feeling that he was extremely ordinary,

while also having a mysterious quality that fit with nature.

"Returning to simplicity, in harmony with nature!"

Zhang Sanfeng trembled violently and exclaimed subconsciously.

On his old face, there was a look of shock.

BOOM!!!

Accompanied by a violent roar,

the thunderclouds that had been brewing for a long time descended with thunder!

In just a blink of an eye,

a giant dragon formed by lightning roared in the void and rushed toward Ling Donglai.

That terrifying power

was just for a moment,

making Zhang Sanfeng and the others feel infinite pressure.

Even the true essence in their bodies was running somewhat sluggishly at this moment.

Perhaps the only one who wasn't affected

was Ximen Wudi, who was calm and composed.

At this moment, he was looking at the field with interest.

"Well come!"

As the target locked by the thunder dragon,

Ling Donglai not only had no fear, but laughed loudly and swung his sword to meet it.

Instantly,

a dazzling sword light shot out,

heading straight for the thunder dragon.

Wherever it passed,

even the void seemed to ripple faintly!

Soon, the two met!

Unexpectedly,

the sword light was so sharp that it seemed not to belong to the human world!

With just one encounter,

the thunder dragon was split open at the head!

And then, with undiminished momentum, it slashed toward the dragon's body and tail,

until it disappeared into the sky.

"Hiss!!!"

"So terrifying!!"

They gasped in a cold breath.

Zhang Sanfeng was stunned into speechlessness, lost in a daze for a moment!

It was not just him.

Even the dragon heads like Li Taibai, who had known Ling Donglai for a long time,

were shaken by the power of that sword strike!

Their gazes were filled with shock.

Only Ximen Wudi, who had also experienced the trials of heaven and earth, understood.

This trial was not actually the Thunder Dragon.

Or rather.

These seemingly terrifying tribulation clouds and Thunder Dragons were nothing more than bluffs!

Any expert attempting to break through to the Mythical Realm could handle them, provided they did not harbor fear.

The true killing blow,

in reality, was the Heart Tribulation!

To use the terminology of fantasy cultivation, it was the Heart Demon trial!

Pass it, and one attains the supreme Mythical Realm!

Fail it, and one would likely be trapped at the peak of the Heaven-Human Realm for the rest of their life!

Just as he was thinking this.

The Thunder Dragon that had been split in two

suddenly erupted with a black radiance from its center.

At a speed the naked eye could barely track, it surged into the center of Ling Donglai’s brow.

Regarding this,

Ling Donglai, having been warned by Ximen Wudi long ago,

closed his eyes without a ripple on his face and sat suspended in mid-air.

One breath... two breaths... three breaths...

One hour... two hours... three hours...

Unknowingly,

three days passed quietly.

In the void,

Ling Donglai, who had been sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes!

Following that,

a terrifying aura of extreme shock, with him as the center, roared and spread wildly in all directions.

Wherever it passed,

apart from Ximen Wudi and Li Canghai beside him,

the several dragon heads, including Li Taibai,

all felt an invisible pressure!

Furthermore,

as time passed,

the pressure became increasingly exaggerated!

If this were to continue,

it was feared that in less than half a day,

Li Taibai and the others would be crushed to death!

Fortunately,

not long after,

Ling Donglai regained his senses and withdrew his aura.

Feeling their bodies lighten,

Li Taibai and the others breathed a sigh of relief, clicking their tongues in wonder.

At the same time,

they felt an even greater yearning for the Mythical Realm.

Before this,

although they had yearned for it, they never imagined the Mythical Realm would be so exaggerated!

Before it, the Heaven-Human Realm was no different from an ant.

If they hadn't experienced it personally,

even if they were beaten to death, they wouldn't believe it!

"Many thanks to the Great Dragon Head and everyone for guarding me."

Quietly descending from the void,

Ling Donglai smiled and cupped his hands in gratitude.

Just as he finished speaking,

the old face that had been full of joy suddenly changed drastically!

Just as Li Taibai and the others were confused and clueless,

Ximen Wudi, who seemed to have anticipated this, spoke with a calm expression.

"Seal!"

Instantly,

Ling Donglai felt as if an invisible seal had been placed around his body.

His eyes were filled with astonishment and confusion.

"That summons just now was..."

That’s right!

Just a moment ago,

he had felt a faint, ethereal summons.

It was somewhat similar to the legendary ascension.

If not for Ximen Wudi’s sudden intervention,

he even had the illusion that he was about to ascend!

Hearing this,

Li Taibai and the others were all startled.

Subconsciously, they turned their gazes toward Ximen Wudi,

not understanding what was happening.

"This summons is not for ascension, but is intentionally done by the will of the Heavenly Dao."

Facing their gazes,

Ximen Wudi explained with a calm expression.

Once these words were spoken,

Ling Donglai and the others were stunned.

The confusion in their hearts grew even deeper.

Regarding this,

Ximen Wudi did not hide anything.

Organizing his thoughts, he continued unhurriedly.

"The Nine Provinces we are currently in actually only consist of eight provinces."

"There is one more province that separated and left before the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

"Where exactly it is, is currently unknown."

"However, what is certain is that the combat power of that province should be more than a notch stronger than the Nine Provinces we are in!"

"It is even isolated by a barrier of heaven and earth."

"The summons just now was the Heavenly Dao trying to use the opportunity of your breakthrough to the Mythical Realm to pull that other province back!" ===== CHAPTER 83 =====
