The Heavenly Dao's Will

Three Spiritual Treasures simultaneously released their pressure, causing the pupils of the Asura Race's Taiyi realm experts to contract sharply.

The spiritual pressure emanating from these three treasures was comparable to High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures!

If one could obtain even one of them...

As soon as a certain Asura Race member harbored greedy thoughts, the Vajra Scepter, carrying the might of wind and thunder, smashed down towards his crown!

The seemingly cumbersome scepter moved like a nimble snake in Lu Tian's hands, yet it didn't lack the power to split mountains and crack rocks.

If this strike landed, it was likely to result in immediate...

In a flash of lightning, the opponent hastily spat out a small shield with golden patterns.

Clang--!

Amidst a resonant sound like a great bell, the shield instantly distorted and warped, its spiritual light extinguished.

With one more blow, this Spiritual Treasure would surely be reduced to ashes!

But Lu Tian had no time to pursue.

The scepter spun rapidly, deflecting towards the right as hundreds of thousands of sword lights formed a net to envelop him.

With a roar, the Vajra Scepter grew a hundred zhang, becoming a jade pillar supporting the heavens, blocking in front of him. The sword rain crashed against the scepter, scattering sparks everywhere.

Ting ting ting ting!

The sounds of metal clashing were as dense as a sudden downpour.

The Moon Washing Blade in his left hand transformed into a silver whirlwind, engaging the Asura blade masters in a fierce battle.

Lu Tian's blade technique was seamless and flawless, making it impossible for his opponents, whose attacks were like a tidal wave, to find any openings.

In terms of blade mastery, he could have easily suppressed his opponents, but he deliberately maintained an equal footing—all because the Asura blade masters were using a desperate fighting style to tie him down.

The Stone Staff and the long spear formed a cage of death, trapping all the other Taiyi realm experts in the fray. The staff and spear shadows intertwined into a net, forcing everyone to defend with all their might.

What the hell! Where did this guy get so many tricks?

Could he have received the true inheritance of some mighty figure? These divine abilities are completely unheard of!

He hasn't even revealed his Dharma Form yet, how many more trump cards is he hiding?

The seven Taiyi realm experts communicated secretly, their hearts growing more alarmed with every passing moment. Lu Tian's endless trump cards were like an abyss that could never be fathroned.

"Don't hesitate, attack with full force to disrupt his rhythm, don't let him lead you around by the nose!" Moxi transmitted calmly, "He's just a Golden Immortal, what's there to be afraid of?!"

"Even if he's stronger, with the seven of us working together, victory is only a matter of time!"

These words invigorated everyone.

Defeating Lu Tian was merely a matter of time.

They were the ones attacking, Lu Tian could only defend passively.

One person against seven!

Even with four arms, what of it?

There would eventually be an oversight!

These Taiyi realm powerhouses were all seasoned veterans. As soon as Lu Tian showed the slightest opening, they would seize the opportunity to launch a fatal blow!

And they had the numerical advantage; even if someone made a mistake, the others could quickly fill the gap.

Lu Tian also realized the difficulty of the situation.

He had struggled when facing three Taiyi realm experts previously, and now, facing seven of them, even using his Vajra Body, he was struggling to cope!

"I can't let this drag on!"

"The longer we stalemate, the more disadvantageous it is for me. Sooner or later, they'll force an opening. Once they catch me, it's over!"

Lu Tian was well aware of the state of the battle.

He had already sustained minor injuries!

The seven Taiyi realm powerhouses coordinated seamlessly, their combat experience even richer than his. Any slight loophole would be magnified infinitely by them!

If not for the Power of Creation's ability to instantly heal injuries, he would have been covered in wounds by now!

At this critical juncture of life and death, he had to go all out!

Last time, when fighting three Taiyi realm experts, he had suffered due to not using his Vajra Body, but thankfully the Power of Creation healed his injuries.

This time, he would absolutely not hold back!

As Lu Tian's thoughts stirred, a surge of violent destructive power erupted from within him.

In an instant, his mind became clear.

He had always found it difficult to comprehend the Dao of Creation, and even though the Power of Creation flowed within him, he hadn't grasped its essence.

But with the emergence of destructive power at this moment, he instantly understood!

After all, he had comprehended the Great Annihilation Technique on his own!

A sharp glint flashed in Lu Tian's eyes, and he suddenly recalled the Vajra Scepter, the Stone Staff, and the long spear.

He was left with only the Moon Washing Blade.

Under the astonished gazes of everyone, facing the incoming attack, Lu Tian remained calm and composed.

He gripped the hilt of the blade with both hands--

Hum!

The Moon Washing Blade let out a clear hum.

The power of one world was infused into the blade!

Lu Tian integrated the Great Annihilation Technique into his Blade Technique!

Immediately after...

The power of a second world was added!

A third!

A fourth...

Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!

The nine realms instantly condensed at the edge of the Moon Washing Blade. The long blade suddenly became as heavy as a mountain, causing Lu Tian's veins to bulge even as he gripped it tightly.

However--

Each realm doubled the blade's momentum.

With nine realms stacked, its power surged ninefold!

He held nothing back, his lifespan burning like a flame.

The Severance Secret Method was activated, his life essence and blood transforming into surging energy!

His combat power increased by another fivefold!

The Vajra Dharma Form manifested, his physical body's strength skyrocketing tenfold!

Wielding the blade with his Indestructible Vajra Body, bearing the power of the nine worlds, enveloped by the destructive torrent obtained by burning his life--

The might of this blade was comparable to four hundred and fifty times that of a normal slash!

The blade light rose!

The Nine Heavens trembled in unison!

The crescent moon was like a blade!

The blade light, splitting the earth and dividing the heavens, swept across!

The Crimson Continent shattered with a roar!

The seven Golden Immortals turned to dust!

The residual shockwave tore open an abyss billions of miles long, bottomless!

When the blood mist dispersed--

Jieyin, Zhunti, and Styx were all speechless.

Ancestor Minghe's blood-colored pupils contracted violently. Although this strike was merely a flick of the wrist for a Sage...

Lu Tian was only a Golden Immortal!

Yet this single blade strike unleashed the destructive power of a peak Taiyi Realm expert!

The Crimson Continent was specially crafted by Minghe; even Taiyi experts would struggle to damage it.

Now, the abyss that cut across the continent silently declared:

Where this child's blade pointed, it had already surpassed the limits of a Golden Immortal!

The might of that strike left Minghe deeply shaken. He had never imagined that a cultivator could unleash such a stunning strike at the Golden Immortal realm!

At this moment, this prodigy was still transforming.

Minghe, Jieyin, and Zhunti watched clearly. Lu Tian sat cross-legged, absorbing the origin energy of the seven Taiyi Golden Immortals.

He's still absorbing? All nine thousand Golden Immortals plus one Taiyi weren't enough to compensate for his foundation? Minghe muttered to himself.

Lu Tian always brought pleasant surprises!

He had thought absorbing six thousand Golden Immortals and one Taiyi would be sufficient, but who knew he was still drawing in origin energy.

After this, his foundation should be completely restored, right? Minghe asked hesitantly.

Up to this point, Lu Tian had already devoured nearly ten thousand Golden Immortals and eight Taiyi Golden Immortals! If even this wasn't enough, just how astonishing was his foundation?

Could he be a direct descendant of Pangu?

As Minghe pondered, he grew even more expectant. He wished Lu Tian would display even more astonishing talent!

Jieyin pondered, "It should be about enough. Everything happens for a reason, let's see his fortune. If it's truly not enough, we'll find another opportunity."

The three supreme powerhouses of the Primordial World were currently staring intently at Lu Tian.

They dared not disturb him, only waiting to witness what miracle this young man could create, and just how astonishing his foundation truly was!

A Taiyi Golden Immortal is indeed extraordinary, each one comparable to three thousand Golden Immortals! The Blood Sea Trial arranged by Master is perfect for me to absorb until I reach my limit.

Lu Tian continued to absorb the origin, reveling in the joy of his foundation gradually becoming complete.

Sixty percent, eighty percent, ninety percent, ninety-nine percent...

He didn't notice, but a faint fragrance began to emanate from his body.

One hundred percent complete!

Lu Tian let out a long breath, an unprecedented sense of comfort washing over him.

At this moment, dark clouds suddenly condensed above his head, covering an area of ten miles. Though not vast, the oppressive aura contained within was terrifying—each bolt of lightning was comparable to a full-power strike from a Taiyi Golden Immortal!

This is... a Shaping Thunder Tribulation?

Lu Tian stared at the tribulation clouds, momentarily stunned. He had clearly already taken human form long ago, so why would repairing his foundation attract a thunder tribulation again?

Fortunately, he quickly regained his composure.

He hadn't naturally taken human form; he had transmigrated and possessed this spiritual bamboo, which allowed him to become human.

Strictly speaking, he had never truly experienced a proper shaping process!

"Could it be that because my foundation is completely repaired and my origin is perfect, the Heavenly Dao has judged it as a formal shaping?"

"Previously, my origin was severely damaged, and the Heavenly Dao might have thought I had already perished..."

Lu Tian pondered for a moment, this explanation seeming to be the only logical one.

After all, he was a visitor from another world and didn't originally belong to the Primordial World.

Given his special identity, some anomalies were to be expected.

"Whatever, overthinking is useless. I should focus on overcoming the tribulation first."

Lu Tian gripped the Moon Washing Blade, golden light erupting around him as his Vajra Dharma Form was instantly unleashed.

Facing a heavenly tribulation for the first time, he dared not be careless.

The power of the tribulation was unfathomable; he had to face it with all his might.

Instantly, a seemingly gentle bolt of lightning drifted down from the clouds.

Though it resembled a catkin, it contained the power to cleave mountains and split the earth, comparable to a full-power strike from a Taiyi Golden Immortal!

"The Shaping Heavenly Tribulation is this dangerous?"

Lu Tian's pupils contracted.

This level of difficulty far exceeded his expectations. If this were the benchmark, perhaps only a handful in the Primordial World could successfully take human form!

His thoughts raced as he swung his blade to meet the attack.

The edge of the Moon Washing Blade collided with the lightning, erupting in dazzling electric light.

Leaping lightning snakes surged along the blade and into his body—

They were completely absorbed!

The residual lightning power didn't harm him in the slightest; instead, it made his entire body feel refreshed.

A slight smile curved Lu Tian's lips.

He had forgotten, his true form was inherently in charge of destructive power, capable of wielding heavenly lightning.

Given that, having high lightning resistance was also within reason, right?

RUMBLE!

The second tribulation lightning struck down fiercely!

The Moon Washing Blade once again sliced through the lightning, and Lu Tian grew more courageous with each strike.

What should have been a solemn tribulation scene had inexplicably turned into a spectacle of a blade cleaving tribulation lightning.

The power of destruction surged into his meridians along with the lightning, deepening his understanding of the Great Dao of Destruction by another fraction.

As the tribulation clouds churned—

On the peak of Kunlun Mountain, within the Eight Sceneries Palace.

Three Daoists were engaged in a heated debate about the Dao when the youngest, a Daoist in a green robe, suddenly stopped counting on his fingers.

"Interesting," a flicker of brilliance flashed in his eyes. "I just deduced the emergence of a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Root, which seems to have some karma with us..."

Before he could finish speaking, the white-haired old Daoist and the stern middle-aged man beside him simultaneously turned their heads.

The middle-aged Daoist urgently pressed for details.

He quickly began deducing with his fingers, and after a moment, his expression shifted slightly: "It is indeed the emergence of a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Root, and it's strangely connected to all three of us!"

The old Daoist looked surprised upon hearing this. He also raised his hand to calculate, then nodded: "What my two junior brothers said is true."

These three were the renowned Three Pure Ones of the Primordial World—Dao De Tianzun, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Tongtian Jiaozhu! The three brothers had all attained Saint positions and were famous throughout the land!

As they deduced, their gazes met, and they all focused their minds on deeper calculations.

After a moment, Dao De Tianzun opened his eyes first, a trace of melancholy flashing within them, followed by a relieved chuckle.

Yuanshi Tianzun followed closely, his gaze like lightning, piercing straight into the Primordial World's Blood Sea—

There stood a figure wielding a blade, facing the thunder tribulation.

Blade light was fierce, tribulation lightning roared.

"The blade technique is passable..."

"Ultimately, it was a mistake."

Even across the endless void, Yuanshi could sense that pure and clear energy—the unique origin of a top-grade Innate Spiritual Root.

Looking at Lu Tian undergoing his tribulation, Yuanshi's memories surged back twenty thousand years:

That dusty youth who came from the West once knelt, begging to be accepted as a disciple of the Three Pure Ones.

His elder brother said he had no affinity, while he himself found the youth's foundation mediocre and instead accepted True Person Huang Long, who had come to seek discipleship at the same time.
