Beyond the Emperor Tribulation

"Boom!"

During the Nine-Layered Immortal Tribulation, the Nine Heavens Venerables intervened, and Zhou Tong continuously fought against them. This might be Zhou Tong's last real battle, and he cherished this final opportunity.

He developed various Daos and Laws, including the Ten Evils Treasure Art and many unique skills of ancient Great Emperor Ancient Emperor. These techniques gradually merged in Zhou Tong's hands, transforming into secret arts unique to him.

Besides the Three Forbidden Secret Arts, Zhou Tong had been pondering other secret techniques all along.

No great Great Emperor's scriptures could contain only forbidden secret techniques; in fact, they mostly consist of ordinary secret techniques. Take the "Taiyin True Scripture" as an example: of its thirty-three pages, three pages are basic cultivation texts, three pages are ultimate forbidden secret techniques, while the ordinary secret techniques occupy a whopping twenty-seven pages.

This is the true essence of a great Great Emperor.

Zhou Tong also needed to take this step. During the hundred years he spent sitting in the Divine Domain, he actually spent most of his time creating and perfecting his own Dao and Dharma.

Now, some unclear aspects have been rapidly perfected and completed thanks to the pressure of the Heavenly Tribulation and the Dao Pattern.

"Om-long!"

The Dao Sound resounded, and the scriptures and runes within Zhou Tong's body were endless. His entire body was glowing, and his Dao and Dharma had completely transformed into an Immortal Embryo, about to hatch.

The Wheel Sea Scripture, the Dao Palace Scripture, the Four Extremes Scripture, and the Dragon Transformation Scripture had already been completed before.

Zhou Tong leaped over smoothly. At that moment, his perfected Dragon Transformation Scripture transformed into a True Dragon, carrying the power of the Sea of Wheels Realm, the Dao Palace Realm, and the Four Extremities Realm, and began to flow upwards, soaring straight towards the Immortal Platform.

His entire body glowed, as if he had transformed into a divine cocoon, radiating endless light.

Even during this process, the nine Heavenly Venerables of the Nine-Layered Immortal Tribulation did not attack. To be precise, the attacks of the nine Heavenly Venerables were quickly Obliteration when they landed on the transforming light beside Zhou Tong.

At that moment, all the supreme beings in the Forbidden Zone revealed a cold smile.

"So that's how it is. You're not just undergoing the Nine-Layered Heavenly Tribulation, you also want to become an Emperor! If it weren't for the sudden appearance of this Blood Phoenix, you probably would have already succeeded!" a Supreme Being said coldly.

"Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. You never expected that there would be another Blood Phoenix in the world. Your painstaking efforts have only benefited that Blood Phoenix." Another Supreme's voice carried a hint of mockery.

"I must say, Zhou Tong, you are a genius. To have cultivated to this level in just over three hundred years is beyond the cultivation speed of any supreme being throughout the ages. But it's a pity, a real pity, that the Hegemon Body Lineage will ultimately fail to achieve enlightenment!" The Forbidden Zone Supreme said coldly.

"Boom!!"

Ultimately, Zhou Tong's Dragon Transformation Realm, carrying the power of the Wheel Sea, the Dao Palace, and the Four Extremes, broke through that membrane, and the dragon head and the Immortal Platform merged.

In that instant, Zhou Tong's entire body shone brilliantly, his flesh and blood translucent. His Dao Embryo was constantly changing, first into a dragon, then into a Kunpeng, Immortal Phoenix, and Nine Netherworld Howler...

The images of the Ten Fiends evolved throughout his body, eventually becoming him. At the same time, the power of the Ten Fiends descended upon him, transforming into the supreme Hegemon Body Ancestral Form.

In that instant, Zhou Tong's Great Dao was evolving, and his physical body and primordial spirit were undergoing further transformation.

This is an extremely terrifying transformation. His physical body is changing at an unimaginable speed. Blood is dissipating and then re-coagulating throughout his body. His bones are broken and expelled from his body, and stronger new bones grow inside him. Even his internal organs and muscles are all changing, replacing the old with the new.

Not only his physical body, but the transformation of his primordial spirit was even more terrifying. His original primordial spirit could almost be seen cracking, the fissures resembling shattered porcelain. As the fragments of his primordial spirit fell away, they shone brilliantly, and a completely new primordial spirit appeared on the Immortal Platform.

"Thump!!"

With a single tolling of a bell, the Immortal Bell, a manifestation of the Heavenly Tribulation, reappeared, along with the Desolate Pagoda. Simultaneously, various terrifying celestial birds and beasts appeared in the world.

These two Immortal Artifacts, along with the countless most terrifying immortal birds and beasts, were the most terrifying aspects of this heavenly Heavenly Tribulation, as if the High Heaven were determined to kill him and would not allow him to completely overcome this calamity.

The Infinite Divine Tribulation was spreading, and the fluctuations of this Heavenly Tribulation were almost comparable to the Great Emperor Tribulation of the Blood Phoenix on the other side.

This is the most terrifying Heavenly Tribulation for the Great Accomplishment Hegemon Body.

The reason why the Great Accomplishment Hegemon Body and the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body can challenge the Great Emperor after they have reached the Great Accomplishment stage is also related to their Heavenly Tribulation. When these two types of bodies undergo the Nine-Layered Heavenly Tribulation, it is far more terrifying than the Heavenly Tribulation of others.

This level of Heavenly Tribulation is comparable to a typical Great Emperor Tribulation.

In that instant, the entire universe fell silent. On one side was the extremely terrifying Nine-Layered Heavenly Tribulation, and on the other side was the Great Emperor Tribulation.

But finally, a day later, the Heavenly Tribulation on one side stopped, but the tribulation of the Blood Phoenix Great Emperor Tribulation stopped.

This undoubtedly shocked everyone. Zhou Tong's Heavenly Tribulation in the Ninth Heaven was actually longer than the Great Emperor Tribulation.

On the other side, as the Blood Phoenix's Heavenly Tribulation dissipated, a supreme law was imprinted on the universe, suppressing all rules and order. One Dao Suppresses Myriad Daos, and a true Great Emperor was finally born in this universe.

"Haha, our Great Emperor has finally attained enlightenment!!" The Blood Phoenix Clan laughed wildly.

"With a true Great Emperor alive, the possibility of the Hegemon Body proving the Dao should be completely cut off. As long as he cannot prove the Dao, that's fine!" The Forbidden Zone Supreme also breathed a sigh of relief.

With a true Great Emperor in the world, the pressure on the Forbidden Zone Supreme is greatly reduced. The Hegemon Body of this Lifetime is simply too powerful.

"However, who exactly is this Fellow Blood Phoenix?" Both the Blood Phoenix Mountain lineage and the Forbidden Zone were eager to know this.

However, just when everyone was expecting the Blood Phoenix Clan Great Emperor to manifest his power, he disappeared without a trace, and no method could detect any trace of him.

"They've disappeared. It seems they've gone to solidify their position as Great Emperor!" The Forbidden Zone Supreme understood. When they attained enlightenment, they didn't constantly display their divine power either, but quickly went into seclusion.

Of course, the reason was not entirely to solidify their position as Great Emperor. More importantly, they had just merged with the Heavenly Heart Imprint and gained great benefits from it, which made them see the possibility of going even further.

This is actually why the Forbidden Zone Supreme hoped for the emergence of a Great Emperor to suppress Zhou Tong, because they did not want the Heavenly Heart Imprint to fall into Zhou Tong's hands.

The most important thing and the greatest opportunity for the position of the Great Emperor is the Heavenly Heart Imprint.

They couldn't imagine how powerful Zhou Tong would become after obtaining the Heavenly Heart Imprint, given that he was already so strong.

After Blood Phoenix attained enlightenment, she went to consolidate her cultivation, leaving only Zhou Tong's unique Heavenly Tribulation in the universe.

This Heavenly Tribulation lasted for a full nine days, several times longer than the Great Emperor Tribulation.

Finally, Zhou Tong successfully survived the Heavenly Tribulation and became Great Accomplishment Hegemon Body, and even a supreme Great Accomplishment Hegemon Body of Alternative Dao Attainment.
