Chapter 662: Breaking and Flourishing

The tribulation clouds churned, scattering electrical light. Heaven and earth trembled.

Su Yi stood in midair.

A perfect cycle of the light of the Grand Dao revolved behind him. He was transcendent and aloof.

The power of the third layer was roughly comparable to the final layer of my Tribulation of Spiritual Manifestation in my past life,?thought Su Yi.

But before he could give the matter any further thought—

Boom!

The fourth layer of the lightning tribulation was already upon him. A bolt of fiery lightning descended from deep within the tribulation clouds.

It was like an electric sea of molten lava pouring down from the heavens.

This terrifying power far surpassed the third layer of the tribulation!

Su Yi’s eyebrows rose slightly, and his expression turned slightly solemn.

He could sense a real threat!

His body and mind both felt stifled.

Despite this, he laughed and suddenly shot upward.

Whoosh!

He fully extended his body, and the revolving cycle of the Grand Dao formed of three types of peerless Dao Charm—the five elements, Yin and Yang, and wind and lightning—rumbled and burst with intense light.

Su Yi chose to clash with the lightning head-on once more!

However, the fourth layer of the tribulation was indeed overly terrifying, and it was full of unimaginable, searing, destructive power.

As sturdy as Su Yi’s fleshly body was, by the time he’d finished blocking the fourth layer of the tribulation, he was injured. There was just no getting around it.

His skin and flesh were ripped and torn all over his body, and he gushed fresh blood. In places, even his lustrous, jade-like bones and tendons were visible.

The sight of such severe injuries made his allies’ hearts clench.

However, these wounds meant nothing at all to Su Yi.

Earlier, as the heavens shifted and the source power of the Grand Dao fell onto the Azure Continent like a rain of shooting stars, Su Yi seized the opportunity to gather abundant Grand Dao source power.

Now, as he circulated his cultivation base, the power he’d gathered within his body spread through him.

In the blink of an eye, his wounds knit together and disappeared!

But then, two more types of tribulation lightning struck in rapid succession.

The fifth layer of the lightning tribulation was a dazzling, eye-catching gold. It condensed into colorful electric flowers, which drifted onto the world below.

The strength of each electric flower was enough to injure Spiritual Incarnation cultivators.

When thousands of them fell at once, it was impossible for Su Yi to avoid heavy injuries.

The sixth layer of the tribulation took the form of an inky current of pitch-black lightning, It formed a massive, electric wave, and it specifically targeted the soul.

However, Su Yi’s soul was incomparably mighty to begin with. He endured the sixth layer of the tribulation with ease.

However——

After a full six layers of lightning tribulation, the tribulation clouds still didn’t disperse. No, they surged even more?terrifyingly?than before!

Lightning dragons roiled through the clouds, silently forming a five-colored, revolving sphere of lightning. It seemed as if it were gathering power for one supremely mighty attack.

“Wait, there’s still more!?” When Ying Que realized that something was amiss, his eyes widened.

Throughout history, when cultivators—human or otherwise—underwent their Tribulation of Spiritual Manifestation, they faced only six layers.

The strength of the tribulation varied depending on the individual.

The more heaven-defying one’s talent and the?firmer?one’s cultivation, the more terrifying their Tribulation of Spiritual Manifestation.

Yet now, even though Su Yi had clearly already overcome six layers of lightning tribulation, the depths of the tribulation clouds were gathering power for another strike!

This was unquestionably far too unbelievable.

“There’s still more? Has anyone ever undergone a Tribulation of Spiritual Manifestation like this before?” The unkempt old Daoist cried out too. He found this difficult to believe.

Su Yi, however, looked gratified.?Just as I expected, this Tribulation of Spiritual Manifestation was impossible to predict. Now, I can truly say that it’s entirely unprecedented…

The tribulation lightning was already upon him.

Boom!

This bolt of lightning was far more terrifying than any that came before it.

The dazzling tribulation lightning had condensed into a colorful electric sphere. As it fell from the heavens, it contained an aura that threatened to destroy both heaven and earth.

Boom!

It crashed directly into Su Yi, and he plummeted several hundred feet.

Countless wounds ripped open all over his body. Some of his wounds had only just knit back together when they tore open once more.

His injuries were so brutal, they were painful to even look at.

No opponent I’ve faced this lifetime has ever hurt me this badly…?Su Yi wiped the blood from his lips.

His long hair was disheveled, his body was battered and broken, and his wounds were shocking to behold.

However, as the accumulated source power of the Grand Dao spread throughout his body, Su Yi’s wounds knit back together at shocking speeds.

He didn’t retreat. Instead, he soared into the air and met it head-on.

Boom!

The light of the tribulation was dazzling, and the thunder rumbled as if enraged.

From afar, Su Yi’s allies saw his tall, lean silhouette fighting amidst the tribulation lightning. He looked tiny by comparison, and they couldn’t help but worry that he could die at any moment.

But as time slipped by, as overpowering as the lightning was, he shattered it, resisted it, and devoured it!

What happened next boggled the onlookers’ imagination.

Su Yi overcame the seventh layer of the tribulation, but it still wasn’t over.

It was as if the heavens had sworn not to relent until they’d taken him down!

Even Su Yi himself was surprised that his tribulation was so strange and troublesome.

“Go ahead and try it, then. We’ll see who smiles in the end,” Su Yi said with a laugh, a hint of pride shining in his black eyes.

Then, he cast aside all scattered thoughts and focused. He greeted the tribulation lightning as he might a powerful foe, and he charged into the sky and attacked.

But he never once retreated!

This was what a sword cultivator ought to be. So what if this was a divine tribulation?

If it blocked his path, he’d cut it down too!

In the time that followed, numerous unbelievable, terrifying bolts of lightning poured down from the dome of heaven.

The Lightning of the Eight Winds danced through the nine heavens like a hurricane. The Lightning of Celestial Annihilation filled the sky like an off-gray mist, and the dazzling, illusory Lightning of the Nine Heavens created a strange, dreamlike vision….

Every type was incomparably rare, the type of tribulation lightning that might not appear even once in a thousand years. Yet now, they poured down in rapid succession.

Ying Que was already completely dumbstruck.

As someone who’d overcome his own Tribulation of Spiritual Manifestation, he simply couldn’t comprehend what he was seeing. This was about to turn his perception of reality upside-down. He simply couldn’t imagine how such a tribulation could exist in this world.

It was much the same for Ning Sihua and the others too.

The terrifying tribulation playing out before them was beyond the limits of their comprehension. They felt only bewilderment, awe, terror, and worry.

Even the unkempt old Daoist of suspicious origins was dazed and rooted to the spot.

He’d never seen such a grand tribulation either. No, he’d never even heard of such a thing!

However——

In the face of this unheard-of, unprecedented, terrifying lightning tribulation, Su Yi didn’t fall. No, he fought and neutralized its power again and again!

He’d already lost track of his injuries. His body shattered, recovered, and shattered just as it healed…

He seemed uncrushable and unkillable!

Furthermore, he’d yet to retreat or shrink back even once.

It was as if he didn’t even know what the word “retreat” meant!

No matter how severe his injuries, he never so much as furrowed his brow.

Just watching this made the onlookers’ hearts tremble, and they felt too astonished for words, more surprised than ever before.

To have such a magnificent bearing even now, just how strong must his willpower and spirit be?

However, although none of them knew it, to Su Yi, everything he was going through enabled his soul, cultivation, physique, and even his mental state to undergo repeated tempering and transformations!

As Su Yi underwent tribulation, an indescribable, forceful presence gradually surged around him, and clear Dao Light appeared above him, slowly outlining an illusory Dao Palace.

The palace flowed with the pure aura of the Grand Dao.

The light of the five elements fell like rain.

Yin and Yang hovered around it.

Wind and lightning surged.

Before long, a miraculous scene appeared before the onlookers.

The Dao Palace hovering over Su Yi’s head condensed beneath the onslaught of tribulation lightning, becoming firmer and more radiant…

“A Grand Dao Spirit Palace! Master Su is about to break into the Spiritual Manifestation Realm!” Ying Que cried out in excitement.

In the Spiritual Manifestation Realm, cultivators built a Grand Dao Spirit Palace, condensed the Mysterious Truths of the Spirit Dao, gleaned enlightenment into the secrets of heaven and earth, and accepted the source energy of the Grand Dao!

Upon reaching Spiritual Manifestation, the Origin Palace within a cultivator’s dantian would undergo metamorphosis, becoming a Spirit Palace. A cultivator’s cultivation base and power of the Grand Dao would meld fully into their Spirit Palace.

The firmness and majesty of one’s Spirit Palace represented the strength of one’s cultivation base and comprehension of the Dao!

“A Grand Dao Spirit Palace…” Ning Sihua and the others were instantly excited.

In the past, even as a Gathering Stars Realm cultivator, Su Yi could both sweep through everyone of the same realm?and?kill Spiritual Manifestation Realm cultivators as if they were chickens. If he stepped into the Spiritual Manifestation Realm, just how?matchlessly?grand would he become?

“He’s actually borrowing the bower of a heavenly tribulation to temper his Grand Dao Spirit Palace…” The unkempt old Daoist shuddered from head to toe. He was so stunned that he almost couldn’t even speak coherently. “F-fuck! Since when did such a pervertedly strong bastard exist on the Azure Continent?”

A lightning tribulation of this level was unprecedented, and?its?strange, taboo aura alone was enough to kill Spiritual Incarnation cultivators with ease.

Yet as Su Yi underwent tribulation, he didn’t just transform his cultivation base; he even used the power of the tribulation lightning to temper his Grand Dao Spirit Palace.

This was far too unbelievable.

Boom! contemporary romance

The tribulation lightning was increasingly frenzied. Heaven and earth trembled violently.

As Su Yi fought the surging tribulation lightning, he seized this opportunity to temper his Grand Dao Spirit Palace.

His physical body, cultivation, soul, spirit, qi, and mind underwent a similar, rapid metamorphosis.

It was a cycle of destruction and rebirth.

Every time he was injured, he was reforged.

He broke, then stood again and flourished!

However, this process was perilous and unpredictable. The slightest misstep, and he’d be destroyed, both body and soul.

“I’ve already accumulated enough. It’s time for Su Xuanjun to achieve Spiritual Manifestation!”

After resisting yet another layer of tribulation lightning, Su Yi threw back his head, and his eyes flashed with radiant, imposing light.

With every word he uttered, his aura expanded, and his flesh, cultivation base, and soul grew stronger and more concentrated.

And the already dense, solid, and radiant Grand Dao Spirit Palace hovering over his head rumbled, the sound reverberating throughout heaven and earth.

An overflowing, boundless majesty emanated from his body. He was like a volcano on the verge of finally erupting after building up its power.

But it was at that moment that—

Boom!

The tribulation clouds overhead shook violently.

An indescribable, restrictive aura suddenly permeated heaven and earth, as if clamping down on a taboo.

Hm??Su Yi’s pupils suddenly constricted.

He just saw a strange white light appear deep within the tribulation clouds.

It was just a single streak of light, but it was dazzling to the extreme. It illuminated the full thousand feet of tribulation clouds, with an air of undying, transcendent, lofty and supreme divinity.

The moment it rose within the depths of the tribulation clouds, an indescribable taboo aura descended upon the human world.

A grim look appeared on Su Yi’s face.

He was now completely certain. His Tribulation of Spiritual Manifestation had no intention of giving him any chance at success at all!
