A gray-gold halo suddenly erupted from Lin Fan's body.
His aura surged to an unprecedented height at that moment, and the barrier of the Sage King Realm crumbled like shards of porcelain shattered by a giant hammer.
The Quasi-Emperor Realm is within reach.
But he didn't rush to cross that threshold; his gaze was fixed on the gray-white lightning that was slowly taking shape deep within the eighteenth Heavenly Gate.
"The third Immortal Qi..."
"Today, I'm going to tear it out of your belly."
With one step, his entire body erupted with Chaos Qi, Immortal Qi, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Art!
True Dragon Fist! Kunpeng Palm! Phoenix Nirvana!
Simultaneously activated, the three Ten Ferocious Beasts' Treasure Techniques, guided by the Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Art, condensed into a chaotic pillar of light interwoven with three colors on his fist.
"Open it for me!"
He threw a punch!
The laws of nature danced, and the force of the fist tore through the void like a comet colliding with the sun, carrying a destructive power powerful enough to shake the limits of the Heavenly Dao, as it crashed into the gray-white lightning!
Rumble...
The eighteenth Heavenly Gate exploded.
Ancient fragments of laws scattered across the sky like shattered glass, and gray-white lightning was torn into countless pieces from the inside, like paper that had been burned to ashes.
From within, a wisp of extremely faint and pure chaotic light slowly rose.
Immortal Qi.
The third Immortal Qi immortal energy slowly rose from the shattered heavenly tribulation, like an awakened spirit. It hovered above Lin Fan's palm for a moment, then quietly sank into his dantian along the lines of his palm.
His aura suddenly surged.
The Sage King Tribulation... has been overcome.
Above the sky, the eighteen heavenly gates were slowly dissipating, like candle flames being blown out by the wind, one after another going out.
A brief silence filled the world.
Then, an immense and boundless aura erupted from Lin Fan's body!
Quasi-Emperor Realm!
He succeeded.
Below, the cultivators from the Three Thousand Provinces were completely dumbfounded.
Some people opened their mouths but couldn't utter a word for a long time, while others collapsed to the ground, their faces still showing the shock and disbelief of the battle just now.
"He... he really survived the Eighteen Heavenly Pass Tribulation?"
"A third strand of Immortal Qi has condensed... three strands of Immortal Qi! Three strands of Immortal Qi at the Sage King Realm!!"
"The three strands of Immortal Qi recorded in ancient texts are the basic requirements for attaining the appearance of Immortal Emperor..."
"Is the Lin Clan... about to produce an immortal?"
The news spread like wildfire from the back of the Lin Clan mountain to the Three Thousand Provinces.
The elders of the Lin Clan changed their expressions from solemn to excited. The Eighth Elder even spun around twice, picked up the teapot that had fallen to the ground, looked at it again, and then remembered that he should be happy.
Those who once gloated have now completely changed their tune.
The Wang Clan Secret Chamber.
The jade slip that the head of the Wang Clan family was playing with suddenly cracked in two.
He remained silent for a long time before finally speaking, his voice slightly hoarse. "... He succeeded."
No one answered from inside the hall.
Everyone's face was ashen, like iron soaked in water.
Because everyone knows what it means for the Quasi-Emperor Realm Lin Clan son of the Lin family to condense three strands of Immortal Qi and have just survived the strongest heavenly tribulation.
This means that the prodigy of the Jin Clan is probably no longer Lin Fan's only opponent.
Outside the palace, the news spread like wildfire. It reached every street and alley in the Three Thousand Provinces from the back mountain of the Lin Clan. Almost every place where cultivators gathered was repeating the same name.
" Sage King has condensed three strands of Immortal Qi!"
" The Eighteen Heavenly Pass Tribulation! Only one person in history has ever survived it!"
"He pulled through, he's alive!"
Above the sky, Lin Fan, standing in the very center of that curtain of light and dust, did not rush to leave.
He looked down at his palm, where three wisps of chaotic immortal Immortal Qi were quietly coiling around his fingertips, like three docile young dragons, exuding a Daoist charm completely different from any law in the Three Thousand Provinces.
"Three."
He repeated the number in a low voice, feeling an unprecedented sense of completeness and power deep within his dantian.
Then he looked up.
Deep in the sky, the latter half of the heavenly tribulation was slowly dissipating, but the layer of grayish-white primordial lightning had not yet completely extinguished.
There is a pond.
Only he, with his Double Pupils, could see it.
To be precise, this is a pool of water formed from pure Lightning Tribulation Liquid, suspended in the very center of the ruins of the Nineteenth Heavenly Gate.
The pool water was a light golden color.
The surface is covered with fine patterns of laws, each pattern being a trace of the Heavenly Dao compressed to its extreme.
That is the origin of the Heavenly Tribulation.
The surrounding area was brewing the most terrifying tribulation lightning. Even if Great Emperor came, he would be instantly reduced to ashes. Throughout history, very few people have been able to reach this point, and no one has ever dared to do so.
" The Lightning Tribulation Pool..."
Lin Fan looked at the calm, mirror-like surface of the water and a slight smile played on his lips, "I've heard it can cleanse the marrow and refine the bones of immortals?"
He took a step forward, his figure like a silver-white fish, plunging headfirst into the air.
Three streams of Immortal Qi swirled around, allowing all lightning tribulations to be avoided!
thump.
A golden ripple spread outwards from the pool water, disappearing automatically upon touching the edge.
The cultivators who were still gazing at the sky in the distance were collectively dumbfounded. "No, he... he jumped in?"
"Where did it jump into?"
" The Lightning Tribulation Pool! The very source of heavenly tribulations! The legendary Origin Lightning Tribulation Pool even a single drop from Great Emperor would severely injure him! He jumped right in?!"
What is he doing? Taking a shower?
"It seems like... she's taking a shower."
Everyone fell silent.
Someone swallowed hard, their voice weak. "He refined his Immortal Qi, then felt it wasn't enough, so he wanted to take another bath?"
"Who the hell is this guy...?"
In the Lightning Tribulation Pool, Lin Fan lay sprawled on the bottom, letting the light golden Lightning Tribulation Liquid envelop his entire body.
It was scorching hot, like swallowing ten thousand needles and a ton of molten iron at the same time.
It penetrates from the skin to the meridians, and then from the meridians to the bones.
However, the Chaos Gods and Devils Body is operating on its own.
Three strands of immortal Immortal Qi, like three guardian dragons, coiled and swirled around him, refining, absorbing, and transforming the destructive power surging into his body into the purest life essence.
"Hiss... this temperature is getting a bit overwhelming."
He soaked in the pool, eyes closed, grinning. "But... it really felt great."
It felt like having a bucket of ice water poured over your head while you're in a sauna; you get a sudden jolt, and then feel completely refreshed.
His bones were being tempered and refined with a crackling sound.
The tiny cracks were reinforced by the Lightning Tribulation Liquid, like a blade that had been polished countless times, slowly transforming from a rough draft into a true divine weapon.
His meridians are expanding.
The Spirit Sea within his dantian was expanding once again.
Three Immortal Qi swam slowly at the bottom of the water, like three well-fed goldfish, weaving back and forth around him, each movement leaving a very faint trace of chaotic color within his body.
Those marks were the imprints of the Law of the Immortal Dao taking root in his body.
Rumble
Above the sky, the dissipating tribulation clouds suddenly stopped.
It didn't dissipate, it stagnated.
It was as if the very nature of Heaven had finally realized that it had been blatantly taken advantage of.
