Crossing Nine Tribulations in a Row
The light of thunder flashed across the entire war zone.
At this moment, whether within the War Realm or in the two great spirit realms beyond it, everyone's eyes were fixed on the source of the flashing lightning.
Within the Central Region.
"Has the Tribulation Lightning begun?"
This thought flashed through the minds of the three strongest immortal sect leaders.
They were not in the outer realms, so they could only determine their location by the flash of lightning that had just blinded them.
Generally speaking, an ordinary cultivator who has reached the Dao Integration Realm can only survive being struck by lightning a maximum of three times. If they survive, they can completely transform into a being of rules.
Those geniuses with great perseverance and ambition undergo six or even nine Tribulation Lightning.
They glanced at the dark clouds that similarly covered the sky above the central region. Just how many lightning strikes would the guy undergoing his tribulation outside endure?
When they achieved the Dao Integration Realm, with the help of the Ancestor, they underwent one more tribulation than those geniuses with exceptional talent, totaling ten tribulations!
With each tribulation they overcome, a cultivator's foundation deepens, which is why they can become the sect leaders of the strongest sects.
Currently, all three sect leaders have obtained the intelligence.
The one who knew about the tribulation in the outside world was a cultivator Ning Qi.
They didn't pay much attention to Ning Qi. After all, those who paid attention to Ning Qi were either people who had been in contact with Ning Qi, or the will of the two realms and the three ancestors who could perceive all the situations from a macro perspective.
But now, because of this terrifying Tribulation Lightning cloud, they began to take Ning Qi's existence seriously for the first time.
Because through this Tribulation Lightning, they felt that Ning Qi should have the potential to survive the ten tribulations!
As for anything higher, they dared not even think about it.
As the leaders of the strongest sects in both realms, the three of them have a deeper understanding of the secrets of both realms.
Throughout history, only the Mountain Ancestor, the Sea Ancestor, and the Holy Ancestor have ever been able to transcend ten tribulations when breaking through to the Dao Integration stage!
Without a doubt, the three patriarchs were also drawn to Ning Qi's tribulation Tribulation Lightning at this moment.
Even the three of them had never seen Ning Qi's tribulation Tribulation Lightning before.
The fact that he could draw upon the power of the rules of both realms was beyond their imagination.
The mountain ancestor stood on the summit of Jietian Peak, silent.
He had learned from the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm that Brahma City, which had followed him for 100,000 years, was taking revenge on Ning Qi within the War Realm.
But clearly, the revenge failed, and now he is trapped by Ning Qi and in danger of dying.
However, the Mountain Ancestor had no intention of rescuing Fancheng.
The dragon-faced attendant behind him wasn't surprised, after all, when the three domain lords of Brahma City came to seek help from the Mountain Ancestor, they had taken the wrong path.
Now it's just one mistake after another. The Mountain Ancestor appreciates Ning Qi, so why would he save these useless fellows?
Deep in the endless sea.
Hai Zu's icy gaze remained fixed on the war zone.
Her expression was serious and focused, as if she were sensing something, and there was a noticeable change in her expression.
Meanwhile, the Holy Ancestor of the Vast Realm, a man of profound self-cultivation, turned ashen-faced for the first time.
He had learned from the will of the Vast Realm that thousands of Dao Integration Realms in the Vast Realm were trapped by Ning Qi and would fight against the Tribulation Lightning together with Ning Qi!
"Zhili, send this letter to them immediately; hopefully it will arrive in time!"
The Holy Ancestor summoned the will of the Vast Realm and took something out of his wide sleeve.
The will of the Vast Realm instantly took over and disappeared.
War zone.
After the first Tribulation Lightning, the illusory image of the Mountain and Sea Realm's will quietly appeared near Ning Qi.
He scanned the area and discovered that half of the Zhonghe Dao sect had perished.
Even he clicked his tongue in amazement. Goodness, what kind of tribulation is this kid undergoing? Is it that terrifying?
He looked at Ning Qi and saw that the newly formed physical body had been cleaved in two by the Tribulation Lightning.
At this moment, the surrounding power of rules is rapidly repairing his physical body.
Those Dao Integration cultivators who were struck down by Tribulation Lightning were not as lucky as Ning Qi. They couldn't even withstand a single bolt of lightning, and their Dao Integration bodies were directly obliterated by the Tribulation Lightning!
The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm gazed at the dark clouds above.
He could come and go as he pleased, and could freely traverse the war zone.
With his abilities, while other Body Integration Cultivator in the Mountain and Sea Realm are undergoing tribulation, he can directly enter the Tribulation Lightning, because those Tribulation Lightning are generated by the Mountain and Sea Realm itself.
The cultivators who achieve the Dao Integration Realm are merely agents chosen by the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm to govern the rules of heaven and earth.
If the Mountain Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor had not stolen his abilities, the Dao Integration cultivators of the Mountain and Sea Realm would have been completely at his command.
Now, the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm wanted to go into the dark clouds of the Tribulation Lightning to take a look, but as soon as it made a move, it felt its whole body stiffen.
"???"
The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm was taken aback; this was the first time it had encountered such a situation.
The next second, he activated his own boundary power, trying to forcefully break through, but his body seemed to be subjected to the same force's reaction force, suppressing him tightly and making it impossible for him to enter the Tribulation Lightning.
The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm had no choice but to remain.
He squinted, as if he were seeing Ning Qi for the first time.
Looking up at the dark clouds of Tribulation Lightning, the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm was filled with doubt. Could it be that even a spiritual will like his could not penetrate the Tribulation Lightning formed by the rules of the two realms?
The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm couldn't understand why Ning Qi had attracted the power of the rules of the Vast Realm. It could only guess that it was either because of the War Realm or because of the Dao Integration cultivators of the Vast Realm below.
Just as he was pondering, suddenly, a shadowy figure slipped in from outside.
The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm turned its head and looked, only to find that it was actually a phantom image condensed by the will of the Vast Realm.
The other person noticed his presence the moment they entered.
The two spirit realm wills locked eyes, and the will of the Vast Realm immediately mobilized its realm power to attack.
It was aimed at both the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm and Ning Qi, who was undergoing tribulation.
On the contrary, the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm looked at the other party with disdain, remaining unmoved.
The will of the Vast Realm did not understand the other party's intentions, but at the moment of making a move, it detected something unusual.
He couldn't influence the power of the rules here as he did outside, let alone attack the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm or Ning Qi.
The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm then let out a soft scoff.
"Don't waste your energy. I've already tried. Even as the wills of two realms, we can't do anything under this kind of Tribulation Lightning!"
How could the will of the Vast Realm possibly believe his words?
He tried many times, but no matter what he did, he couldn't mobilize any power in this place.
Ultimately, the will of the Vast Realm had no choice but to accept this reality.
He looked towards the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm and asked, "What exactly is the situation here?"
"You ask me? Who should I ask?" the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm replied.
Because of the special place formed by Ning Qi Qi's tribulation, the wills of the two spirit realms communicated for the first time here.
They were sworn enemies outside, but now that they're in this place where they can't fight, they can actually have a chat.
"Mountains and Seas, the day of our battle is not far off. Afterwards, I will make you understand what a grave mistake it was to invade my Vast Realm!"
"Say what you will, it's all about the winner taking all. If we want to advance to the next level, what other choice do we have but to do this?"
Upon hearing what the other party said, the will of the Vast Realm was also slightly taken aback.
Doesn't he, Haoran Realm, also yearn to advance to the next level?
However, the will of the Vast Realm, having been influenced by the Holy Ancestor for so long, now cares more about the survival of the beings within it, and has long since let the matter of advancement take its natural course.
The will of the Vast Realm was unsure whether this change was good or bad, but it always felt that this was the right path.
He didn't say much to the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm, but instead teleported to the place where the cultivators of the Vast Realm were trapped by Ning Qi.
The gray-robed swordsman Mi Hui and the others looked at the approaching will of the Vast Realm, but could not utter a sound. They could only watch the other party with joy in their eyes.
The will of the Vast Realm took out the scroll given to him by the Holy Ancestor.
Instantly, the talisman flew out and opened automatically, bursting forth with a golden light.
I saw a golden word "Jie" written on it.
Once opened, the characters immediately released light, illuminating all those who were in harmony with the Dao.
The thousand layers of chains binding Zhong Hedao's body were rapidly dissolving!
The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm wasn't idle either, and immediately said to Ning Qi, who was still recovering his physical body, "Boy, why aren't you stopping him?"
Ning Qi remained silent.
What do you two spirit realm wills think this is? Do you think he's a monkey, coming here to watch his grand formation?
The only saving grace was that the Tribulation Lightning he summoned from both realms rendered the wills of both realms unable to act, as the Tribulation Lightning was a mixture of the power of both realms.
However, it would be even better if we could drive them away!
Ning Qi's physical body has recovered.
Having just experienced the first Tribulation Lightning, Ning Qi felt immense pain in his chest, which had been pierced by a large hole. However, after the pain subsided, he clearly felt that his body, which was composed of rules, had become more refined!
More importantly, this body of rules is a mixture of rules from both realms.
This change gave Ning Qi a bit more confidence, even without the support of his original body.
Because after he advances to the Dao Integration Realm, he will not belong to either the Mountain and Sea Realm or the Vast Realm; he will become the only Dao Integration cultivator who transcends both realms.
Ning Qi had actually thought about this long ago.
If he were to fully condense his Dao-Merging Body using the rules of the Mountain and Sea Realm, becoming a Dao-Merging being within the Mountain and Sea Realm, would that mean he became a vassal of the Mountain and Sea Realm?
He had been trying to avoid this, and the current situation was one he hadn't anticipated. He actually had a few other plans prepared.
However, those methods would require expelling the will of both realms; otherwise, he might expose that he came from the True Martial.
But now is not the right time. Since this Tribulation Lightning can affect the will of both realms, then let it come even more fiercely.
Ning Qi naturally did not want the Will of the Vast Realm to take away the Deciphering Scroll bestowed by the Holy Ancestor.
He gazed at the sky, once again summoning the Tribulation Lightning.
Click!
A dark cloud shattered, and from within emerged an even more magnificent thunder dragon.
If the first lightning dragon was as thick as a bucket, this one is as thick as a vat.
The moment the Thunder Dragon appeared, the oppressive aura it exuded caused everyone below to freeze in place.
The will of the Vast Realm couldn't help but take a half step back, and the illusory image of the will of the Vast Realm on the other side also retreated in sync.
The character interpretation manual bestowed by the Holy Ancestor also became momentarily obscured due to the appearance of the Thunder Dragon.
Instantly, the rules of heaven and earth that Mi Hui and the other Dao Integration cultivators were about to have unraveled contracted once again, rendering the power just released by the deciphering scroll useless.
Boom!
As before, as soon as the Thunder Dragon appeared, it unleashed boundless bolts of lightning of various colors, bombarding the crowd below.
This place had practically transformed into a sea of thunder.
Ning Qi was the first to be struck by lightning, a bolt of lightning as thick as a water vat piercing through his newly formed Dao Integration Body.
From head to toe, no part of the body was left unattended.
He gritted his teeth, his eyes revealing a defiant spirit.
Ning Qi suddenly understood the advantages of traditional cultivation methods and why cultivators often focus on cultivating a certain rule.
The Tribulation Lightning of merging with the Dao is so intense that the intensity of the Tribulation Lightning generated varies depending on the number of rules a person cultivates!
The two Tribulation Lightning Tribulation Lightning that just came down each contained the power of the three hundred rules he had cultivated.
Even more terrifying is that the power of creation nurtured within the Tribulation Lightning completely integrated the power of the three hundred rules into one.
Therefore, this is why half of the Dao Integration cultivators were killed in the first Tribulation Lightning tribulation.
The second lightning strike not only engulfed Ning Qi, but also everything else present.
Not only other Dao-merging beings, but even the wills of the two realms and the Holy Ancestor's deciphering scroll were struck by the Tribulation Lightning.
"!!!"
Neither of the two realms' wills expected that they would encounter such a scene.
They reacted quickly, teleporting within a confined space to evade.
However, as soon as one dodges, another bolt of lightning will strike, leaving the wills of both realms utterly helpless.
Isn't this the power of their two realms? How could they be attacked as well? Is there no justice in this world?
The wills of both realms gritted their teeth and stopped dodging, readily accepting a Tribulation Lightning.
When the lightning faded, the place was a complete mess.
Half of the remaining Dao Integration cultivators were killed, leaving only three hundred or so alive.
The golden-glowing calligraphy scroll of the Holy Ancestor was smashed into a crooked and unrecognizable shape.
It was brought here by the will of the Vast Realm, intending to rescue its subordinates who had achieved Dao Integration. Just when it was about to succeed, it was directly interrupted by the Tribulation Lightning.
The only ones who weren't injured were the illusory images of the two realms' wills, because they were originally just illusory images.
However, wisps of green smoke rose from outside the phantom, indicating that being struck had also had some effect on them.
Ning Qi's physical body was completely stripped of its flesh and blood by the Tribulation Lightning, leaving only a skeleton glowing with light.
The yin-yang symbol swirled around him, seemingly possessing a mysterious power to bring him back to life, rapidly restoring the flesh and blood that had been severed from him.
After a few breaths, Ning Qi fully recovered.
He looked up at the dark clouds of Tribulation Lightning, no longer paying attention to the situation in the arena, and focused entirely on the matter of transcending the tribulation.
With a thought, Ning Qi summoned a third Tribulation Lightning.
When a cultivator at the Dao Integration stage undergoes tribulation, they can actively use their will to summon the Tribulation Lightning to descend, while most people choose the strategy of delaying as much as possible.
But Ning Qi rose to the challenge.
His body soared into the sky, actually taking the initiative to meet the Tribulation Lightning.
Inside the dark clouds, the Tribulation Lightning brewing this time was completely different from the previous lightning dragon.
This Tribulation Lightning seemed to have been specially integrated with the power of specific rules, transforming into a cyan lightning wind.
Waaah!
Thunder and wind howled, blowing down to earth and instantly enveloping the area below.
A cyan thunderous wind enveloped Ning Qi, Ning Qi felt it blowing into his body from the top of his head, as if thousands of rules were slowly torturing him!
After the Tribulation Lightning, Ning Qi reconstituted his Dao body and simultaneously summoned a fourth Tribulation Lightning...
The tribulation of wind and thunder turned from blue to blood red, as if it had been swept down from the depths of hell.
Then came the fifth Tribulation Lightning.
The crimson wind and thunder turned gray-black, filled with desolation and death!
Sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth...
Ning Qi survived nine Tribulation Lightning in a row!
He solidified his physical body once more and glanced down below.
There are not many Dao Integration cultivators left below; only the strongest group of Dao Integration cultivators are still alive.
But most of them were shattered, covered in blood, and convulsing, with no strength to recover.
Their eyes, fixed on Ning Qi, were filled with longing, as if they only wished for Ning Qi to kill them as soon as possible.
This freak survived nine Tribulation Lightning in a row; even in the history of both realms, only the most outstanding geniuses have achieved such an accomplishment.
Moreover, Ning Qi Tribulation Lightning was so extraordinary.
The dark Tribulation Lightning in the sky showed no signs of diminishing.
As for the will of the two realms, it has now retreated to the edge of the region.
The Holy Ancestor's calligraphy scroll was completely destroyed in some unknown Tribulation Lightning!
