Ten Fiends Heavenly Tribulation
"Boom!"
The Path to Immortality, which had been calm for countless ages, suddenly revealed a vast ocean at this moment—a divine sea formed from lightning!
"The Heavenly Tribulation of Dao Severing the Heavenly Tribulation ... is exactly the same as what I predicted. I knew that this state of Permanent Divine Prohibition could not last long!" Zhou Tong looked at the sky and the sea of lightning and said softly, "Although the fish leaped out of the water and transformed into a dragon, it will eventually be brought back to its original form."
"But it doesn't matter. Being able to experience the feeling of ' Permanent Divine Prohibition ' in an instant has already benefited me greatly. The next time I will be able to eternally reside in the Permanent Divine Prohibition will be at the Quasi-Emperor Ninth Heaven. That will be the time when I truly Fish Transforms into Dragon!"
Faced with the Divine Prohibition State, Zhou Tong felt no unease, as this was within his expectations.
The Heavenly Barrier of Dao Severing the Dao is a boundary set by heaven and earth and the Cultivation System; without severing this barrier, one can never cross it.
However, even without making that strike, a cultivator's cultivation and understanding of the Great Dao continue to grow; gradually, the cultivator will reach the seventh and Eight Restrictions restrictions, and even surpass the Eight Restrictions to reach the divine restriction.
The Divine Forbidden Realm is the pinnacle. Reaching the moment of Permanent Divine Prohibition will surely attract the Heavenly Tribulation of Dao Severing the Dao!
This is not a question of whether one should sever one's own Dao Severing, nor is it a question of whether Heaven and Earth should sever cultivators. Rather, it is about relying on the cultivator's own realm to forcibly break through the barrier of Dao Severing's path!
"Theoretically speaking, my method of Dao Severing is also Reverse-Slaying the Great Dao, so I should be able to witness the strongest Heavenly Tribulation!" Zhou Tong sat cross-legged amidst the thunder, silently circulating the Thunder Emperor Method to receive one bolt of lightning after another.
This is a magnificent scene; if other cultivators were to see it, it would surely terrify them all.
In the Void the Great, countless terrifying bolts of lightning, as powerful as the Yangtze River, struck him. Each bolt of lightning was more powerful than the complete Thunder Tribulation of an ordinary Dao Severing.
Thousands upon thousands of bolts of lightning combined to form a vast and boundless sea of lightning, which was practically a destructive Heavenly Tribulation. Just a single wisp of lightning could destroy a prodigy.
However, Zhou Tong used the Thunder Emperor Method to bathe in the thunder, as if soaking in a hot spring, using the lightning as water to cleanse his physical body and primordial spirit.
"Snap!"
A myriad of lightning bolts intertwined, terrifying flashes of light, and layers of Innate Dao Patterns swirled, transforming into the most terrifying diagram of Heavenly Tribulation. Zhou Tong opened his mouth and inhaled; whether it was lightning or Dao Pattern, they were merely nourishment for him. His body crackled, his purple blood and qi surged with auspicious Auspicious Qi, and his bones were nourished by boundless vitality.
Every inch of his skin was dazzling, every pore was emitting electric sparks, and a small purple figure was in his brow, holding the Hegemonic Bell in his arms. He stepped out, opened his mouth and inhaled a sea of lightning, endless lightning was absorbed into his mouth, terrifying beyond measure.
"Boom!!"
The first Thunder Tribulation finally dissipated, but the second Thunder Tribulation immediately followed. Many strange lightning bolts, resembling Imperial Weapon, appeared within the Heavenly Tribulation. Among those Zhou Tong could recognize were the Great Emperor Sword, the Jiu Li Diagram, the Void Mirror, the Empress West Pagoda, the Hengyu Furnace, the Heaven Swallowing Devil Pot, and the Wu Shi Bell.
There were also many other unidentifiable lightning bolts, such as the divine sword radiating celestial light, the incomparably domineering jet-black halberd, and the terrifying gourd...
This is even more terrifying. These lightning bolts have transformed into the Imperial Weapon of all the Great Emperor who have come here throughout history. They are wild and boundless, representing the traces of the Great Dao between heaven and earth. Each attack seems capable of Annihilation a world.
"This place truly lives up to its reputation as the Ancient Path to Immortality. There must have been countless Great Emperor who came here. I even suspect that almost all the Great Emperor have come here since this Path to Immortality opened!" Looking at the sky filled with Imperial Weapon and lightning, Zhou Tong felt a sense of awe.
The location he chose for his tribulation was definitely the most difficult; the number of trials he would have to endure from the Great Emperor would far exceed those of Ye Fan.
Most importantly, this Heavenly Tribulation is not only his own Heavenly Tribulation of Dao Severing, but also the third Heavenly Tribulation of Immortal Qi. This terrifying Heavenly Tribulation far surpasses Ye Fan's tribulation of defying the Heaven Slaying Dao.
"Boom!"
Thunder transformed into Imperial Weapon and struck, causing the heavens and earth to collapse and the gods and ghosts to wail. Endless immortal light and endless lightning erupted along the Path to Immortality, creating a deafening roar.
A vast expanse of nothingness, nothing at all, only the Heavenly Tribulation.
At this point, Zhou Tong could no longer sit cross-legged. He kept waving his hands in the Void the Great, each movement generating terrifying Dao ripples that blocked the endless bombardment of the Imperial Weapon in the Void the Great.
His physical body, soul, and the Hegemonic Bell were all tested in the Heavenly Tribulation, undergoing the baptism and tempering of ten thousand feet of thunder.
The Hegemonic Bell, forged from Divine Mark Purple Gold, underwent another forging by the sea of thunder and the Great Dao laws within the Heavenly Tribulation, becoming increasingly solid and immortal. Furthermore, it radiates a shimmering immortal light, like a precious pearl that has been wiped clean of dust, shining brightly.
Amidst the overwhelming light of the Heavenly Tribulation, every inch of Zhou Tong's skin radiated a purple halo, bathed in endless lightning and Dao Pattern, tempering his unparalleled Hegemon Body, cleansing his purple primordial spirit, and forging his Dao Proving Artifact through countless trials.
After a long time, the second Heavenly Tribulation finally dissipated. Zhou Tong immediately activated the Thunder Emperor Method to refine the remaining lightning and restore himself to his peak state.
"These two Thunder Tribulation are just appetizers; the truly terrifying Thunder Tribulation hasn't arrived yet. Before the Dao Severing, there should be Dao Severing phenomenon! One phenomenon combined with one heavenly Heavenly Tribulation!" Zhou Tong quietly awaited the changes in his Thunder Tribulation.
"Boom!!"
Finally, the first Dao -Dao Severing phenomenon and the third Thunder Tribulation appeared together.
Above, a sea of lightning surged and rolled, now erupting in full force, pouring down like a vast ocean.
"Roar..." A True Dragon, shaking its head and wagging its tail, flew out from the lightning clouds. Its majestic figure was like a Star River, and it pounced straight at Zhou Tong.
"Screech!!" With a wild cry, a Immortal Phoenix accompanied the True Dragon, descending together and rushing towards Zhou Tong.
Not only that, but next there were Kunpeng, Kirin, and all sorts of strange lightning bolts...
These were all formed from enormous bolts of lightning, incredibly solid, born from the gestation of a Divine Fetus, now possessing a soul, and irresistible.
"Could my first Dao Severing phenomenon be the Ten Fiends?" Zhou Tong suddenly realized, but then his eyes sharpened, and with a long roar, he finally made his move, fighting against the Ten Fiends without reservation, determined to kill them in the Void the Great.
"Boom!"
A terrifying eruption of lightning shattered the Void the Great itself. The dazzling lightning and soaring light made the area blindingly bright. It was practically Heavenly Tribulation; the Ten Fiends had descended, intent on annihilating all life here and utterly destroying those undergoing tribulation.
Zhou Tong swung his fist, fighting against the Heavenly Tribulation, and punched forward to confront the Ten Fiends formed by the Heavenly Tribulation. Instantly, he unleashed overwhelming battle power, and every inch of his body was enveloped in lightning.
"Aww!!"
The dragon's roar shook the heavens, and its horns, like peerless Heavenly Blade, clashed heavily with Zhou Tong.
"Puff!"
Zhou Tong's skin was torn and his flesh was ripped open. Under such a Thunder Tribulation, he could no longer withstand it and suffered this terrible blow, his whole body covered in Purple Blood.
"Kill!"
However, his gaze became increasingly sharp. After staggering, he straightened up again, transforming into Kunpeng, soaring through the clouds and carrying the blue sky on his back. He spread his wings and fiercely attacked all his opponents, engaging in a fierce battle with the Ten Fiends.
Even someone as powerful as Zhou Tong was in a very difficult situation when facing several of the Ten Fiends. He could only slowly wear them down, absorbing the power of the Heavenly Tribulation to recover while also grinding them down to Ten Fiends.
Finally, after a long and fierce battle, the Ten Fiends finally ran out of strength and were completely destroyed by Zhou Tong. They turned into clusters of lightning, exploded, and shattered into Void the Great.
His pores opened, allowing thousands of rays of light to enter and exit. His body was autonomously absorbing and exhaling this sea of lightning, and his flesh, blood, organs, and bones were all breathing.
