Lightning crackled with electricity, unleashing its most intense energy upon the sand dunes. A tremendous explosion echoed through the air as the raw, masculine energy suddenly descended upon an ant.
In response to Xu Long's powerful Body of Oblivion, the Origin Will used the most direct means: the lightning that struck from the vortex tore apart the heavens and earth, forcibly separating the status of countless living beings from that of the Origin Will.
It wants countless living beings on earth to know that the power of heaven and earth is unfathomable, the will of the Origin Will is inviolable, and any living being that dares to overstep the bounds of heaven and earth will be utterly annihilated by divine punishment!
The raging dragon, carrying the might of heaven, struck in an instant. Xu Long's newly recovered body was instantly reduced to charcoal in the lightning, but his immense will remained unharmed.
What sustained Xu Long under the Lightning Tribulation was his Indestructible Will. He was almost powerless to fight back amidst the lightning and could only passively endure the divine punishment.
However, his will was constantly trying to communicate with the rules, because he knew that he was completely locked under the divine punishment and had to use some unconventional means to resist it. And what could break this vast divine might was the power of the world's rules!
Since entering the Land of Exile, Xu Long has only seen two cultivators who possess natural Dao techniques. Chen Yuping, needless to say, would probably be shocked by the overwhelming power of the heavens. But what Xu Long recalls in his heart is the Heaven Patroler!
That's right, it's the Heaven Patroler destroyed Blackwater City!
The terrifying image of that Heaven-Slaying One Sword was still deeply imprinted in Xu Long's mind. That was a true immortal, a being who had experienced countless calamities.
Perhaps time has numbed their hearts, but their remaining power still commands the attention of heaven and earth, for they are beings who will never bow to heaven and earth!
So, under the Lightning Tribulation, he suddenly thought of those immortal gods and high-ranking immortals, and how they faced their own tribulations.
The answer was already revealed in Xu Long's heart: to resist relentlessly, to spread his will throughout the world, to preserve his will within the rules, and to Fusion his will with the laws.
This is the true path to immortality, the true path to the Great Dao. Everything in the Sea of Suffering and Calamity is a trial, and only one's own Dao Heart is adrift.
Only by possessing an undying will and a steadfast Dao Heart will the path to immortality truly open up for you, instead of merely peeking at the Dao techniques of others. A cultivator's struggle against heaven and earth ultimately requires taking their own step.
The rumbling sound echoed across the sky, and the Blackwater City below had been transformed into a land of calamity. The once towering sand dunes had been flattened by lightning, and smoke and dust continued to billow from the basin in front.
The vast might of the heavens cannot be violated by anyone. The Origin Will will spreads its wrath to the heart of every living being on earth, maintaining its inviolable dignity with endless thunder and fire!
But amidst the lightning, there are always some beings who will not yield; they are the true spark of this world, and the flame in their hearts will never be extinguished!
Xu Long's body slowly writhed in the sand. Despite the thunder and lightning, his Body of Oblivion was not completely destroyed, but scattered throughout the vast yellow sand.
After a brief respite from the lightning, he stubbornly reappeared between heaven and earth, with crackling arcs of electricity still flowing around his body. Xu Long's body slowly took shape beneath the tribulation clouds.
His entire body was covered in countless grains of sand. In the lightning, he was disintegrated bit by bit by the violent energy. His powerful body could only be accompanied by grains of sand. But when this figure stood up again, it was the greatest contempt for the might of heaven.
Xu Long's body was nearly crippled, but his will still communicated with heaven and earth. His immense will constantly searched within the rules, just to find his own Dao in the myriad worlds.
Xu Long already had a target in his heart. He raised his head again. His eyes were no longer visible under his blurred eyelids, but the giant eye under the sky clearly felt a gaze shooting straight at it.
The owner of that gaze remained unyielding; he even foolishly attempted to transgress the rules.
The calamity clouds grew thicker and thicker, and the lightning within them became more and more obvious. In the endless sky, it seemed as if a giant eye was staring down at the world below.
The Human Python behind them had already prostrated itself on the ground. In its world, its Origin Will seemed never to have been so angry, and the indomitable figure on the sand dune had never appeared in the Land of Exile before.
Xu Long's will roamed the sky, and the Magic Power within his body was slowly changing. After surviving the Lightning Tribulation, he would reach the Mahayana Stage, possessing the Power of Laws. By Fusion his Magic Power with the laws, he would truly step into the ranks of great cultivators.
His Daoist Celestial Phenomenon had already been chosen; his will was still communicating with the world's rules under the tribulation clouds just now, all for this moment.
Xu Long's Daoist Celestial Phenomenon was not based on his own experiences and insights, but rather on what he gained through killing and battle.
That's the Milky Way, rising from the heavens!
This is Xu Long's Daoist Celestial Phenomenon. The brief phenomenon obtained by the World-Breaking Blade is the stars, and the stars can only come from the Milky Way. The Milky Way contains endless stars, and its vast expanse is filled with burgeoning energy.
The Power of Laws the sword light when it unleashes its might is the power of the stars, and there are also nine stars on the Azure Firmament Celestial Star Formation Diagram. Xu Long's fate is inextricably linked to the Milky Way.
At this moment, his will had already affected the rules of the world, transforming into a sharp sword beneath the endless clouds of tribulation, heading straight for the sky. His destination would be beneath the heavens, in the shimmering Milky Way.
That will be the location of Xu Long's Daoist Celestial Phenomenon; that is where his path to the Great Dao is borne.
The rumbling thunder continued to explode in the air. The giant eye in the vortex had clearly learned of Xu Long's intentions. Its gaze paused for a moment, as if searching for something in the buried history.
In its ancient memory, it is unknown how many years have passed since any living being has chosen the Milky Way as its own Daoist Celestial Phenomenon.
An ant displayed various abnormalities to it today, slightly reviving its decaying consciousness. It seemed to remember something, and a flash of lightning streaked out from the thick clouds of calamity.
boom!
Before Xu Long could react, a bolt of lightning illuminated the earth. The purple lightning seemed to come from another realm, carrying an Miejue force as it hurtled towards Xu Long.
The ferocious arcs of electricity, like a vicious dragon, tore Xu Long's body apart with their claws and fangs.
But at this moment, a ferocious smile appeared on Xu Long's blurred face. Despite the lightning descending from above, Xu Long remained unmoved, and his will had already appeared in the sky.
Lightning crackled and raged through the sand. The Origin Will had clearly grown weary of Xu Long's strange regenerative abilities, and a continuous stream of lightning transformed into a monstrous dragon that hurtled downwards.
The rumbling sound echoed across the land, Blackwater City appeared to flicker in the lightning, like Xu Long's body in the yellow sand, sometimes separating and sometimes reuniting.
At this moment, Xu Long's will looked up at the heavens, and in the shimmering Milky Way, he felt a powerful energy. This was the natural Celestial Phenomenon of the Dao that belonged to him, and this was the opportunity that belonged to him.
After years of seeking immortality and continuous progress, today I am finally about to condense my own Daoist Celestial Phenomenon.
Without hesitation, Xu Long chose the Milky Way beneath the heavens. As his will arrived, countless stars within it lit up for him, and the aura of a great cultivator was already emanating from this place.
Xu Long felt the vast, abundant, profound, and ancient energy of the Milky Way within his will.
He had unleashed his own Power of Laws many times on the path of the Great Dao in the past, but today he was going to truly choose the Power of Laws that belonged to him.
It is no longer a temporary Power of Laws, but an energy Fusion one's own Magic Power; from now on, it is the energy of a "great cultivator"!
After a long and arduous journey, they finally reached a certain end. The Tribulation Transcendence and the Mahayana are the watershed between cultivators. Xu Long's path to enlightenment has long been perfected, and now he only needs to wait for the tribulation to pass.
After locking onto the Milky Way, the will began to slowly merge, a true Daoist Celestial Phenomenon, a choice no less than stepping onto the path of immortality.
Xu Long's Daoist Celestial Phenomenon are more mysterious than those of ordinary people, and his power is also greater. As his will continues to integrate, the energy in the Milky Way is gradually perceived by Xu Long.
In the imprisoned world, he finally felt a sense of relief. The shackles of his Origin Will were finally broken by him. After his immense will Fusion the Milky Way, he possessed the celestial Celestial Phenomenon of the Mahayana Stage.
At this moment, his will had transcended the rules of the world, Xu Long instantly solidified his body on the earth.
"Imperial Edict!"
A thunderous roar erupted from his throat, Xu Long, covered in sand, looked up at the sky, his eyes meeting the giant eye in the tribulation clouds.
The tribulation cloud responded decisively, its purple light instantly illuminating the mortal world. As the rumbling sound rang in his ears, Xu Long did not sit idly by and await his doom.
His will merged with the Milky Way, and Xu Long obtained his own Celestial Phenomenon. He had already broken the shackles of his Origin Will, and now he had the power to fight back under the Lightning Tribulation.
Buzz!
After a furious roar, a defiant sword cry erupted from the lightning.
The crisp sound was mixed with a hint of anger. The sword light, which had been imprisoned for a long time, was finally unsheathed. The sword light, which had been gathering power at his side for a long time, swept out in an instant towards the attacking evil dragon.
The sounds of "bang bang bang" echoed continuously in the air, and cold light mixed with lightning raged through Blackwater City, with bursts of violent energy descending from the sky.
Xu Long's figure appeared exceptionally tall amidst the lightning. He was still standing beneath the tribulation clouds, with a layer of flickering electric arcs clinging to his sword.
The World-Breaking Blade must face the calamity together with its master. As Xu Long's natal magic weapon, it will advance in rank along with Xu Long.
The giant eye behind the clouds stared down, already aware that Xu Long's will Fusion the Milky Way —a fact that could not be changed.
This destined Xu Long to enter the ranks of great cultivators, but it had to punish the overstepping of these beings, and the balance of heaven and earth had to be maintained by itself.
Rumble!
At this moment, the tribulation clouds had condensed the lightning to its extreme, and an extremely dangerous aura emanated from them, indicating that they were about to release the energy within them completely.
The Origin Will's belief is unwavering. Xu Long's existence has absolutely disrupted the balance among living beings, and dealing with beings like Xu Long is its duty!
"Hahahaha! I, Xu Long, have walked the path of cultivation for a long time, and have even undergone Tribulation Transcendence in the Sea of Suffering and Calamity. Today, I have achieved the Great Dao, and I can already see my path to immortality!"
"Today's calamity is here, for I alone create the universe, I alone rule the Great Dao!"
A hearty laugh erupted across the earth, the sand on his body was shaken off with a "rustling" sound, and a surge of life force condensed within him, finally revealing the figure enveloped in arcs of electricity.
Xu Long's body remained incredibly strong even after being tempered by the Lightning Tribulation. He gazed at the vortex in the sky, his will having been completely Fusion into the Milky Way. He endured the divine punishment with his body, all to Fusion his invisible will into the Daoist Celestial Phenomenon.
This is not a path taken by ordinary cultivators; it is a path that Xu Long created himself, unique to him. This means that from now on, Xu Long will be ranked among the great cultivators.
He focused his Dao Heart on the path to immortality, and in Xu Long's laughter, he felt exhilarated, finally experiencing the long-lost power.
In Land of Exile, he had been suppressing the impact of his Magic Power on his realm, but now that his will Fusion the Celestial Phenomenon, he had acquired his own power of Power of Laws. To completely Fusion the Magic Power within his body with the law would mean possessing the energy of the laws of heaven and earth.
That's why he disregarded everything and let his will Fusion the Celestial Phenomenon first. With the experience from the first time, even under the Lightning Tribulation, he could Fusion the laws of heaven and earth without hesitation.
Streaks of purple lightning illuminated the earth incessantly, and a continuous rumbling sound echoed in the air. The endless bolts of lightning almost merged into one, cascading down from the vortex like a waterfall.
Xu Long, amidst the lightning, neither dodged nor avoided it. He remained standing on the sand dune, his entire body bathed in the electric light, his Magic Power rapidly Fusion the laws of heaven and earth.
The muffled thuds echoed across his body as Xu Long's Body of Oblivion rapidly recovered, but the lightning pouring down from above was truly terrifying. The continuous bolts of lightning almost ignited the earth, and violent energy was concentrated and released.
Xu Long's body blurred instantly, but a sliver of light still shone within the lightning. The terrifying energy could not conceal its brilliance, nor could the violent energy overwhelm its power.
Like its master, it will stand tall under the calamity, tempering its body with lightning.
A moment later, as if sensing something, the surging light amidst the lightning suddenly paused, then swiftly spun its blade, leaping up and heading straight down towards the horizon.
Buzz!
A proud sword cry, accompanied by arcs of electricity, shot straight into the sky. A small streak of light streaked across the clouds, its long trajectory tearing apart countless bolts of lightning.
Xu Long's thoughts were the source of the sword light's power!
Today, amidst the thunder and lightning, he will pierce through the clouds of tribulation, to spread his will of resistance across the heavens, to disseminate his indomitable spirit beyond the firmament, and to leave his upright form forever on the earth!
