Qi of Calamity

The Holy Lord of Bright Moon did not hide anything and immediately recounted his experiences in the Nine Star Domains, emphasizing his battle with Chen Feng.

After listening to the Holy Lord of Haoyue's account, Hun Leizi's usually calm face showed astonishment.

"So, Chen Beijing can fight you with just his physical body enhanced by the power of the stars, and he doesn't lose at all?"

Saint Lord Haoyue nodded. "Yes, I feel that this person's methods may not be limited to this. He should have other hidden methods. I had no choice but to retreat. Please punish me, Senior Brother!"

Hun Leizi narrowed his eyes and remained silent, asking himself:

"Senior Dongyuan, is the power of the stars truly that strong? Chen Beijing is only at the third step of the Dao Integration stage, yet he can contend against someone at the fifth step?"

Soon, an ancient voice resounded deep within Hun Lei Zi's Primordial Spirit:

"The power of the stars is a fundamental power, and no fundamental power is simple. This person must have used the power of the stars to enhance their physical body. Some ancient races have done this before, so it's not surprising."

"However, that person was able to fight across two minor realms, so the power of the stars he wields is probably extraordinary."

"Then, if Haoyue and I join forces, can we take down this person?" Hun Leizi pressed.

The Celestial Venerable of the Cave Origin said:

"To be on the safe side, you should wait for me to arrive. If I take action, even if Chen Beijing has already achieved the Great Perfection of Origin, it will be useless. What you need to do now is break the barrier as soon as possible and not get distracted by anything else."

Hearing this, Hun Leizi couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

He understood perfectly well what Dongyuan Tianzun was thinking; he simply wanted to seize the fortuitous opportunity that Chen Beijing possessed.

It seems highly unusual for a human to possess the power of stars and even be able to fight across realms at the Dao Integration stage.

Although he knew it in his heart, Hun Leizi dared not say it to his face, and he quickly replied:

"Senior, please rest assured, the formation will be fully set up within a year, and the barrier will surely be broken then!"

Seeing that Hun Lei Zi remained silent, the Holy Lord of Haoyue asked in confusion:

"Senior brother?"

Hun Leizi snapped out of his daze and looked at the Holy Lord Haoyue, saying, "I understand. Let's put Chen Beijing's matter aside for now. Our most important task is to set up an array to break through the barrier."

The Holy Lord of Bright Moon immediately said:

"Senior brother, although I can't defeat that person, if you and I join forces, we definitely won't have any problems!"

The Holy Lord of Bright Moon was clearly very unwilling. He felt extremely frustrated leaving the Nine Star Domains this time, and he really wanted to go back.

Hun Leizi said:

"The Nine Star Domains are right there; Chen Beijing can't escape. Our most important task right now is to break through the barrier."

Hearing Hun Leizi say this, the Holy Lord of Haoyue, though unwilling, could only say:

"Alright, I'll do whatever you say, senior brother."

"Cang Wanjun and the others are dead, and we're still short a few people. Go to the Qingmu Star Region; there are two reclusive Dao Integration Rogue Cultivator there. Go and invite them over," Hun Leizi instructed.

Breaking the barrier requires at least thirty Dao Integration cultivators, and that's just the number of people needed; the materials for the formation are even more precious.

Their Heavenly Profound Holy Land spent over a hundred years just collecting the materials.

The Holy Lord of Bright Moon did not linger any longer and immediately turned and left.

He did not mention Chen Feng's promise to come here to help in six months.

Because the Holy Lord of Bright Moon knew very well that Chen Feng would never come.

Time flies like an arrow; three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

The nine star regions have returned to peace since the last great war.

Those forces that attacked Xingfeng Sect were also completely wiped out during this period; more than four hundred forces were all exterminated.

The ruthless methods of the Xingfeng Sect have instilled fear in the various forces of the star field during this period.

In their minds, Xingfeng Sect has always been low-key, and even when it controlled the five major star regions, it did not take any other actions.

This led many factions to believe that Xingfeng Sect was easy to talk to.

But this purge made all the factions in the Starfield aware of the ruthless style of the Xingfeng Sect.

If you become their enemy, you must be prepared to wipe out their entire family.

This purge of various forces has had a strong deterrent effect.

For example, in the past few months, Xingfeng Sect has established new branches in various parts of the nine star regions, but Liu Qian has not assigned many people to these branches.

Even so, the star regions of the major powers all behaved themselves and almost unconditionally obeyed the orders of the Xingfeng Sect.

The reputation of the Xingfeng Sect in the nine star regions has reached unprecedented heights in the past few months.

On this day, at the edge of the nine star regions, in the vortex of the starry sky.

Several figures emerged from the starry vortex.

These people all exuded the aura of a half-step Dao Integration level.

"Is this the Nine Star Regions? The spiritual energy seems rather weak." A tall man with a horse-like face asked.

A woman in a plain dress standing nearby said:

"Fellow Daoist Ma, although these nine star regions are mid-level star regions, they are actually composed of nine smaller star regions, so it's normal that the concentration of vital energy is not high."

Upon hearing the woman in the white dress's words, the burly man surnamed Ma immediately laughed.

"Thank you for informing me, Fairy Su."

The woman in the white dress then looked at the others. "Fellow Daoists, since we have come to visit the Xingfeng Sect, please restrain your tempers and lest you implicate others."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately said:

"Fairy Su is overthinking things. How could we be so ignorant of our place?"

"Yes, Fairy Su, even if we wanted to, we wouldn't have the power. With Senior Chen overseeing the Nine Star Domains, who would dare to act recklessly here?"

The news of the Holy Lord Haoyue suffering a loss in the Nine Star Domains has spread throughout the surrounding star domains.

During this period, the name of Chen Beijing, the Xingfeng Sect, was also learned by forces in the surrounding star regions.

The Bright Moon Saint Lord of the Heavenly Profound Holy Land is one of the most powerful experts in the nearby star field, a fifth-step Dao Integration Realm expert.

The fact that such a powerful figure could suffer a loss speaks volumes about Chen Beijing's strength.

The sudden appearance of such a powerful figure naturally attracted forces from surrounding star regions to try and befriend him.

These people in front of us are envoys sent from the surrounding star systems.

The woman in the white dress nodded. "In that case, let's set off now and head straight to Canglan Star."

The burly man surnamed Ma laughed loudly:

"I'll listen to Fairy Su!"

The others nodded in agreement.

The woman in the white dress in front of them was named Su Mu, and although she was at the same half-step Dao Integration level as them.

However, this woman's identity is not simple; she is the daughter of the sect leader of the Taiyi Dao Sect.

The Taiyi Sect took the matter of the Bright Moon Saint Lord suffering a loss very seriously, so they sent Su Mu, a young genius, to show their respect for the Xingfeng Sect.

For the Taiyi Dao Sect, anyone who has a grudge against the Tianxuan Holy Land is considered their friend.

The group didn't linger and immediately headed towards the Xingfeng Sect.

Xingfeng Sect, in the cave abode.

Chen Feng sat cross-legged inside the cave abode, surrounded by a layer of spiritual light.

He has completely refined the second-grade spiritual item.

At this moment, the Dao seed within his Primordial Spirit has already taken the initial form of a Dao fruit. He only needs to overcome the final tribulation of his own existence to advance to the true Dao Integration Realm.

Chen Feng originally thought the process would take at least six months, but it was completed in just three months.

Chen Feng opened his eyes and stood up.

"Come on, let me see just how powerful this personal tribulation is!"

After saying that, Chen Feng took a step forward, and when he appeared, he was already in the starry sky millions of miles away from Canglan Star.

Having overcome his own tribulation, he naturally wouldn't be on Canglan Star.

The divine lightning summoned by his own tribulation was enough to easily obliterate a cultivation star.

Moreover, if Bandit Cultivator destroys a cultivation star during their tribulation, the power of their own tribulation will be amplified.

This is a targeted attack by the will of the universe.

Chen Feng stood quietly in the starry sky, his hands behind his back, awaiting the arrival of his own tribulation.

He stood alone in complete silence.

Just then, wisps of eerie black energy slowly emerged around Chen Feng.

This black energy did not emanate from his physical body, but rather from his Primordial Spirit.

As soon as these black wisps appeared, Chen Feng felt his Divine Sense perception drop by at least 90%.

Moreover, at this moment, even his perception of the primordial energy within the universe has decreased significantly.

This was just the beginning. The black aura surrounding Chen Feng increased, and the Dao Seed within his Primordial Spirit dimmed at this moment.

"Is this the first step in my own tribulation?" Chen Feng was taken aback.

As Yin Yin had said before, the first tribulation experienced by a half-step Dao Integration cultivator has very little weakening effect; at most, it suppresses the cultivator's Dao Seed power.

But for him, not only was his Dao Seed suppressed, but he also lost his Divine Sense and his perception of the surrounding primordial energy.

If Chen Feng were just an ordinary cultivator, all he could use now would be his spiritual power and treasures.

However, due to the limitations of his Divine Sense, he was unable to use high-grade treasures.

It's important to know that this personal tribulation will last for forty-nine days, during which time the Primordial Divine Thunder will continue to attack.

"As expected, we're still being targeted. It's been so many years, can't you be a little more forgiving?" Chen Feng said, gazing into the depths of the starry sky.

From the Foundation Establishment stage onwards, the tribulations he faced were several times more difficult than those faced by other cultivators, and they became increasingly absurd as they progressed.

If he hadn't gone to the modern world to undergo his tribulation, he wouldn't have been able to overcome those previous heavenly tribulations at all.

Now that it has reached the stage of merging with the Dao and undergoing its own tribulation, it manifests itself in an even more terrifying manner.

This is only the first step in overcoming one's own tribulations.

Chen Feng couldn't even imagine what kind of bizarre scenarios the next few stages of his own tribulation would involve.

The black aura surrounding Chen Feng increased, and its influence expanded to the surrounding starry sky within a radius of tens of thousands of miles.

The starry sky, covered by black mist, became extremely chaotic in terms of both Principle and rules.

This is also a symbol of Bandit Cultivator; wherever they go, they are surrounded by black aura.

Just then, streaks of white light appeared in the void surrounding Chen Feng.

These white rays were very small, only about three inches long.

These white rays seemed to appear out of thin air, surrounding Chen Feng.

It wasn't until the white light got closer that Chen Feng could see what it was: streaks of white lightning.

These lightning bolts did not exhibit any terrifying fluctuations; they were clearly quite ordinary.

But Chen Feng knew what this was: Primordial Divine Thunder!

One of the most powerful divine lightning bolts in the universe.

The Primordial Divine Thunder, also known as the Thunder of Rules, is said to have appeared only at the very beginning of the universe.

A single, tiny white bolt of lightning was enough to blast a cultivation star into dust!

At this moment, dozens of Primordial Divine Lightning bolts were swirling around Chen Feng.

Before Chen Feng could even examine the Primordial Divine Lightning closely, it instantly converged upon him.

After the white lightning struck him, it split into countless parts and burrowed into various parts of his body.

Chen Feng immediately felt a tingling sensation throughout his body.

"That's it?" Chen Feng was somewhat surprised.

He originally thought that even if his physical body could withstand the Primordial Divine Lightning, it would be very difficult.

But now it seems that this Primordial Divine Lightning isn't all that impressive after all.

It seemed as if they had heard Chen Feng's words.

The next second! Strands of white lightning appeared in the surrounding void.

This time, it wasn't just dozens, but thousands!

Thousands of Primordial Divine Lightning bolts swept towards Chen Feng like a school of fish!

Upon seeing so many Primordial Divine Lightning bolts, Chen Feng's expression immediately froze.

He dared not be careless and quickly activated the star array, mobilizing the power of the stars in the heavens to empower himself.

As thousands of white lightning bolts struck Chen Feng, the starry sky was instantly filled with white lightning.

The terrifying energy fluctuations could be clearly sensed even from tens of thousands of miles away.

It was tens of thousands of miles away from where Chen Feng was undergoing his tribulation.

Su Mu and the others were standing here, all staring in shock at the scene in the distance.

They had originally planned to visit Xingfeng Sect.

However, everyone sensed the unusual situation in this starry sky, so they rushed over to investigate.

When they arrived, they learned what had happened.

Someone is actually undergoing their own tribulation!

Those present were all envoys sent from surrounding star regions, and were no strangers to the personal tribulations of Dao Integration cultivators.

But the tribulation of the person before them left everyone bewildered.

The burly man surnamed Ma asked somewhat uncertainly:

"Is this senior truly undergoing his own tribulation? Even when our clan's third-step ancestor underwent his tribulation, there wasn't such a scene; the aura of calamity has spread tens of thousands of miles."

Calamity is a phenomenon that occurs when a cultivator undergoes their own tribulation.

The denser the aura of calamity, the more severe the weakening effect of one's own tribulation on the cultivator.

When the ancestor mentioned by the cultivator surnamed Ma was undergoing the third step of his own tribulation, the area of calamity surrounding him was only a little over a thousand miles long.

He had never even heard of such a calamity aura spanning tens of thousands of miles.

A person nearby exclaimed in horror:

"It's more than just an aura of calamity. Look at those white lightning bolts; they must be Primordial Divine Lightning, thousands of them! Could this person be undergoing the personal tribulation of the fifth step of the Dao Integration Realm?"

Upon hearing the word "fifth step, self-ordeal," everyone in the arena was immediately invigorated.

Once one overcomes the fifth personal tribulation, one becomes a fifth-step powerhouse.

Every fifth-step Dao Integration expert is a powerful figure in their own right.

To witness such a powerful being undergo tribulation is fortuitous opportunity that comes only once in a thousand years.

Watching powerful individuals at this level undergo their tribulations can be helpful for their own future tribulations.

At this moment, Su Mu suddenly said, "This is not the personal tribulation of the fifth step of the Dao Integration Realm!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback and turned to look at Su Mu.

Su Mu said:

"I once saw my Taiyi Sect's ancestor undergo the Fifth Tribulation. At that time, there were a full eight thousand bolts of Primordial Divine Lightning, but this person only had about three thousand."

"However, his aura of calamity is even greater than that of a fifth-step cultivator's own tribulation, which is indeed very strange."

Just as Su Mu finished speaking, the place where the tribulation was taking place in the distance changed again.

New Primordial Divine Thunder appeared in the void surrounding Chen Feng.

This time, the divine lightning appeared as rapidly as a tidal wave, densely covering the starry sky for tens of thousands of miles around.

Su Mu and the others were unable to calculate how many Primordial Divine Lightning bolts were there for the time being.

But it's definitely no less than ten thousand!

The cultivator surnamed Ma swallowed hard and said:

"Fairy Su, are you sure the fifth step of your personal tribulation is eight thousand divine lightning bolts?"
