Chapter 1160 - Slashing Through a Tribulation
“Fellow Daoist, there’s nowhere left for you to run, yet you still speak of annihilating us?” As they fought, Xue Zining chuckled. “Seems to me that you’d best give up and come quietly. As you’re aware, we’ve come for the secrets of reincarnation. There’s no way we’ll take your life.”
Although she said this, she attacked with increased ruthlessness and ferocity.
All of them had overcome countless struggles. None would lower their guard at a time like this.
Xue Zining knew that the greater an enemy’s predicament, the more likely it was that something unexpected would happen!
Thus, she had no intention of giving Su Yi any time to catch his breath.
That went for the other ten or so World King Dao Clones too. None of them held back!
Su Yi’s predicament was increasingly perilous. His entire body was battered and gushing blood. In places, even his bones were visible.
But soon, against all expectations, Su Yi laughed and muttered to himself, “It’s just about the right time.”
“Hm?” Xue Zining and the others were stunned, but a moment later, they sensed a lethal threat, and their hair stood on end.
“That’s....” Xue Zining was stunned.
Inky black tribulation clouds had silently gathered deep within the dome of heaven. Calamitous tribulation light flashed deep within the cloud cover.
“A tribulation!?” The other World King Dao Clones were flabbergasted and overcome with disbelief.
Su Yi’s injuries had him on the brink of death, yet he wanted to undergo tribulation?
Was he sick in the head?
“What a strange tribulation!” Everyone noticed its unusual qualities, and all of them were stunned.
That tribulation’s calamitous aura was extraordinary. Even those as mighty as Ancestor Peng felt chills course down their spine, let alone the other onlookers! Every heart present quivered.
The power of the heavens was such that even gazing upon the tribulation from afar filled their hearts with despair, leaving them on the verge of a mental breakdown!
“Old Bald Donkey, is this what you meant by overcoming death?” The Heavensdeath Demon Empress’s eyes lit up with utter astonishment.
“Most...likely....yes...” Buddhist Master Inkstone Heart was dumbstruck too, and his eyes widened. Undergoing tribulation in the face of grave peril? Searching for an opportunity to transform and turn the tides?
Impressive, Su Xuanjun!
Your valiant spirit is unparalleled! But... you’re already on the brink of death, and now, you’ll have to face this utterly calamitous tribulation. How will you survive?
You’re truly dancing on a razor’s edge. A moment’s incaution could reduce your bones to powder!
“What level of tribulation is that?”
In the stars beyond the Wilds, Palace Master Mo Changkong of the Church of the River of Stars’s Celestial Palace was visibly stunned. His eyes surged with divine radiance.
“That calamitous aura... it’s even stranger and more powerful than the tribulation I faced when I became a World King...” Third Warden Yu Baichuan of the Nine Heavens Pavilion gasped.
“Is the Temple Master at the end of his rope? Otherwise, how could he do something so insane?” High Elder Zhang Bailing of the Primordial Unity Daoist Sect muttered to himself.
These World Kings sensed the tribulation immediately, and their hearts quivered too. A tribulation like this was simply unheard of. It was far too strange!
Boom!
Although all of this took some time to describe, it happened in a flash.
Just as everyone sensed the tribulation, light burst from deep within the clouds, pouring onto the human realm!
Xue Zining and the others panicked and instinctively set aside all thoughts of capturing Su Yi. Instead, they retreated explosively.
Boundless white tribulation light illuminated the entire human realm, so piercing that they couldn’t even open their eyes. Its endlessly terrifying calamitous aura then swept through the landscape like a tidal wave or avalanche.
Everyone was visibly astonished, their hearts and minds shaken.
But it was then that Su Yi burst into laughter despite being injured to the brink of death, then sighed with clear satisfaction. “Today, I, Su Xuanjun, have finally returned to the Profound Unity Realm!”
Before his voice had even finished echoing through the air, he shot toward the dome of heaven and met with the descending tribulation light head-on.
Boom!
How boundless and tyrannical was that tribulation light? It seemed capable of destroying the world.
But before it even touched Su Yi, a streak of illusory, ethereal sword light shattered it, filling the air with a rain of light.
An illusory sword appeared above his head. In truth, this was a manifestation of the Sword of the Nine Hells within his sea of consciousness!
Su Yi couldn’t have been any more familiar with how tribulations worked for him in this lifetime.
He was keenly aware that every time he faced a grand tribulation, it left him no hope of survival at all! These tribulations were dead set on wiping him from the face of the earth!
Fortunately for him, he had the Sword of the Nine Hells!
Even though each grand tribulation was more terrifying and calamitous than the one before, all of them disappeared in a puff of smoke beneath the Sword of the Nine Hells.
That was true before, and it was true now, too!
Beneath countless flabbergasted gazes, Su Yi stood in the air and suddenly raised his hand.
Boom!
A streak of inscrutable, mysterious sword qi rose like a cyclone, cleaving into the tribulation clouds.
The clouds instantly split.
The endless tribulation light shattered with a bang, then poured down like a waterfall, bathing Su Yi in a resplendent rainfall.
His wounds knit together at speeds visible to the naked eye. The cracks covering his skin, his broken bones and snapped tendons, his crushed organs... all of them regrew and transformed, like a phoenix undergoing rebirth in nirvanic flame!
His vital energy forged ahead, breaking through his internal barriers as he stepped into a brand-new realm!
Boom!
Beneath the dome of heaven, Su Yi shone with a hundred thousand feet of Dao Light, illuminating the nine heavens and the ten earths. He was so radiant, the onlookers couldn’t gaze at him directly.
“He overcame his tribulation just like that!?”
Countless people were dumbstruck and overcome with disbelief.
How was this undergoing tribulation? He’d effectively cut his tribulation down in a single slash, dispersing the clouds!
“Old Monster Su was nowhere near as fierce before...” Ancestor Peng and the others were tongue-tied too.
All of this happened in a flash, and it ended in a flash, too.
And here everyone’s hearts had clenched on Su Yi’s behalf. They’d thought he was on the brink of death, and that he likely wouldn’t be able to overcome this tribulation.
Who’d have thought he’d break his tribulation and prove his Dao in the blink of an eye?
It was truly unbelievable.
Meanwhile, in the stars beyond the Wilds, the World Kings were dumbstruck. This shook their perception of reality, and they almost suspected they were seeing things.
The strange power of that tribulation had made their hearts quiver, yet now, Su Yi had cut it down in a single slash!
“Quick! Destroy him before his cultivation base stabilizes!” Xue Zining suddenly bellowed.
“Got it!” One of the World King Dao Clones was the first to attack.
He was a man in white robes, and he gripped a spear. Pale blue lightning revolved around him, and he arrived before Su Yi in a single step.
Boom!
He ruthlessly thrust his spear.
The air shattered, and the spear swathed in the dazzling power of his Laws seemed intent on overturning the firmament.
Everyone who saw this held their breath. contemporary romance
But then, a large, fair, clearly defined hand took hold of his spear.
It couldn’t advance even an inch further!
And that hand belonged to none other than Su Yi.
Dao light rumbled around him, and the depths of his gaze shone with blatant, entirely unconcealed disdain.
The white-robed man’s pupils constricted, and he inwardly cried out, This is bad!
But before he could react, limitless, tyrannical power traveled up his spear, breaking the bones of his right wrist and shattering his fingers.
Just like that, Su Yi seized his weapon.
The white-robed man was astonished, and he retreated explosively back.
“Die!”
Su Yi turned the stolen spear around and flung it through the air.
Bang!!!
The spear was like an unstoppable, radiant arrow piercing the heavens. It entered the white-robed man’s chest, then came out the other side, leaving a bowl-sized bloody hole.
The man trembled violently, then blurted in apparent disbelief, “How could you possibly...”
But before he could finish his sentence, his body exploded, spraying the sky with blood and gore.
One attack, and Su Yi killed a World King Dao Clone!!
This tyrannical scene immediately astonished everyone present.
“Old Monster Su might have only just broken through, but he’s far, far stronger than he was at the pinnacle of his past life!” exclaimed the old glutton.
The other old-timers agreed completely.
The former Su Xuanjun had already been invincible as far as they were concerned.
Now, his reincarnation had overcome his tribulation and entered Profound Unity. His combat prowess already far surpassed his former self at his peak!
“Dammit!” Xue Zining's and the others’ expressions shifted. Chills coursed through their hearts.
There was no doubt about it. The moment Su Yi had slashed apart his tribulation, he had become a true Profound Unity Realm expert, and his cultivation base had undergone a complete transformation. He was completely different from before!
The Profound Serenity Realm Su Yi was already enough to resist more than ten World King Dao Clones. Sure, they’d almost killed him, but his combat prowess was still heaven-defying.
Now that he’d stepped into the Profound Unity Realm, he was suddenly terrifying almost beyond imagination!
“It really is different from before...” Su Yi stretched in midair. The power of the Laws poured from his tall, upright figure like a waterfall, scattering a dreamlike rain of the light of the Grand Dao.
With every gesture, his majesty made the dome of heaven tremble, as if the countless Daos of heaven and earth were kneeling in submission!
This really was different from his past life’s Profound Unity Realm cultivation base. His power, majesty, and grasp of the Grand Dao far surpassed his former peak!
As he sensed his transformation, an indescribable emotion arose within his heart.
When he had reincarnated to cultivate anew, hadn't he done so for the express purpose of surpassing his former self and stepping onto a higher path?
Now, he’d already surpassed his former self. All he had to do next was seek out the Path of Heaven’s Ascension and transcend the Profound Dao completely!
“Everyone attack at once!” Xue Zining and the other World King Dao Clones attacked with everything they had. Their auras and sheer momentum were terrifying.
None of them dared hold back.
The aura emanating from Su Yi startled them. They couldn’t even imagine how it belonged to someone who’d only just entered the Profound Unity Realm.
Boom!
A grand battle suddenly broke out once more, but this time, it went completely differently.
Su Yi laughed dryly, stepped into the sky, and appeared before a black-robed elder. He raised and swept his hand through the air, and...
Splurt!
The old man’s head flew from his shoulders, and his corpse exploded into powder and dissipated into the wind.
Clang!
At the same time, the Tiny Heart of the Cosmos let out a clear hum. Radiant light burst from its edge as he broke through his enemies’ joint attack in a single flash.
Su Yi’s figure flashed through the air, and...
Splurt splurt splurt!
Three World King Dao Clones burst like papier-maché.
Blood sprayed out like a waterfall, staining the skies red.
“Hurry up and run!” Xue Zining shrieked as she realized that this didn’t bode well.
Su Yi hadn’t just gotten stronger. No, he was already strong enough to crush their Dao Clones!
Alas, she was one step too late.
Once he started killing, Su Yi didn’t hold back at all. He swung his sword, leaping through the air. With every slash, he fired off streaks of sword qi.
Just a few blinks of the eye later, and those formerly unstoppable, seemingly invincible World King Dao Clones had all died on the spot.
As simple as chopping up vegetables!
When the clones died, bewilderment and bitterness were written all over their faces, as if even in death, they couldn’t believe or accept what was happening.
Now, all sixteen World King Dao Clones had been executed. Not one survived!
Su Yi stood there, alone and proud, as contemptuous as a god.
