Tribulation Breaking

In the eyes of Rogue Cultivator, priests are important figures.

As for the remnants of the Divine Dynasty, the "Old Monster of the Unorthodox School" was a big shot.

In the eyes of the unorthodox sect elders, the direct descendants of the righteous path are the real big shots.

But in the eyes of these righteous disciples, their elders, those big shots standing at the pinnacle of this world, this mysterious and unpredictable immortal was the real big shot.

Master Yun Shuo had to admit that no matter how much he schemed, apart from Chan Master Bukong and Tiangu Gu, the only person present who could participate in this great battle was his junior sister, who was somewhat intelligent but not very bright.

She was a sword cultivator recognized by the "Jade Lock Devil Heart," meaning that if she wanted, she could borrow the sword spirit of this demonic sword for a short period of time—the life's cultivation of that sect leader-level demon. Back then, that peerless demon was a powerful figure at the Refining Spirit to Return to the Void level, having passed two stages of the Ascension Tribulation. However, at the final hurdle of accumulating external power, he was jointly killed by the righteous and Buddhist paths. Before his death, he refined his life's cultivation into this sword. To make matters worse, the sword was eventually seized by the righteous path.

If Bai Ningjie were to forcibly wield this demonic sword, he could unleash the power of a "Demon Cult Master" for a short period of time.

Above the sky, the dark clouds had long been shattered by the battle between the four factions. The top Buddhist master who descended in his Dharma body, the Tiangu who remotely controlled her sword from beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, and Bai Ningjie who transformed into the leader of the Demonic Sect in a short time, all wanted to strike a horrible blow on the fallen dog and kill this immortal on the spot before he could recover his strength.

Seeing that the situation was temporarily under control, the ever-calculating Yun Shuo began to ponder again.

My junior sister, with her slow and stubborn mind, managed to gain the Jade Lock Devil Heart's approval. How come someone as smart as me can't gain the Four Symbols Swords's approval? Let alone the Four Symbols, I can't even handle one of them.

The "Four Symbols Swords" is also one of the top ten flying swords of the High Heaven Sword School, and it is not a single sword, but a set of four.

It was also the flying sword that Master Yun Shuo had chosen for himself.

Unfortunately, even though he acknowledged them, they ignored him. Despite his best efforts, he could only barely gain the approval of one of Azure Cloud's followers.

The remaining three people practically ignored him.

However, he quickly dispelled this trace of jealousy and began to seriously analyze the situation.

In fact, this immortal had "almost calculated everything." As long as Thunder God escaped right under our noses, even I would have to admit the mission failed and wouldn't suspect anything else. As for my senior uncle and the others, unless something really happened, they wouldn't easily take action here due to the karmic consequences of the Heavenly Tribulation Imperial Dynasty back then.

So who is the variable?

After reflecting for a moment, Daoist Yun Shuo had to admit that the real variable in this major event had nothing to do with them, the few righteous disciples.

Whether it's Zhen'ezi, whose physical body is destroyed and who is rebuilding his Ghost God cultivation, Mingting, who only wants to cultivate the Supreme Yin Thunder Manor, or Zhang Zhixian, whose memories have been tampered with, or even the hesitant him, none of them are variables.

The real variable is an outsider.

A guy who accidentally obtained the "inheritance of the Devil-Subduing Heavenly Soldier", a weirdo who somehow managed to create a "unity of Unity of Heaven and Man", and a ruthless person who, at the last moment, broke through the great terror and life-or-death situation deliberately created by the immortals and insisted on fighting against the consciousness of the Five Thunders Devil-Subduing Great General.

The combination of these three variables created a truly miraculous variable, breaking this seemingly impossible situation.

"The will of Heaven is truly unpredictable, and the human heart is even more so."

Master Yun Shuo muttered to himself, when suddenly a thought struck him, and he remembered the words of the "breakthrough" from before.

There are demonic forces in this city, right?

Hu Mang was unaware that a battle beyond his imagination was taking place in the skies above Demon-Subduing City —no, it should be the entire Thunder Commandery Domain.

At this moment, Hu Mang was in a strange state of enlightenment.

Especially after fully comprehending the Nine-Character Mantra" Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Zhen, Lie, Qian, Xing" and automatically understanding the Demon-Subduing True Intention principle, "The Way is not troublesome and nothing can be blocked," Hu Mang integrated this True Intention into the spear technique of the previous generation of Devil-Subduing Heavenly Soldier, and Shattering Thunder's body in one fell swoop. He has been in this state ever since.

Hu Mang never considered himself to be a sword-cultivation genius like Gu Yunshu or Bai Ningjie.

He considered himself a skilled fighter, capable of transforming into a ruthless fighter in the split second between life and death, but he was still some distance from being a super genius.

Therefore, even after witnessing the spear technique of the previous generation of Devil-Subduing Heavenly Soldier, he did not think he could comprehend it thoroughly in a short period of time.

This is a superb marksmanship that someone has evolved with all their might, and it's only the first half of that skill.

So he decisively changed jobs on the spot, transforming from Devil-Subduing Heavenly Soldier into Thunder Official, and then into the Thunder God, using his powerful bricks to overturn everything.

However, when the Daoist Demon-Subduing True Intention— "the Tao is unpredictable and invincible"—was incorporated into his spear technique and the Thunder God was defeated, he seemed to suddenly become qualified?

Or rather, it deduced the latter half of the evolution of the previous generation of spear techniques.

The problem is that he doesn't know "how" this evolution should evolve.

It's a state where you understand something immediately, but not quite fully.

As a top student at a prestigious academy, Hu Mang felt for the first time that his intelligence was insufficient.

However, he understood that such fortuitous opportunity was extremely rare, and it was highly unlikely that such a good thing as a counterfeit Thunder God would happen again.

In particular, he happened to be at the peak of his energy and spirit.

What if you can't learn it? Just keep learning!

This is his mother's classic saying; he often heard it when he was a child and would get beaten up with tears in his eyes.

Thus, in this state of "liberation," he repeatedly recalled the evolution of the spear technique of the previous generation of "Devil-Subduing Heavenly Soldier": how the spear tip Thunder Net node when the Heavenly Star Falls, how the Fire Phoenix Scorches the Plains Qian Yang Subdues Devils the demons. Every frame, every trajectory, and every change in the energy was repeatedly disassembled, reassembled, and chewed over by him.

After an unknown amount of time, just when Hu Mang felt his head was about to explode and even this state of deep enlightenment was about to end, his Dragon Eye suddenly opened instinctively.

A strange scene from my memory suddenly intruded into the mind of that clawless, scaleless, headless, and aimless dragon, which abruptly opened its enormous, non-existent maw.

A dark rift seemed to be torn open in the void. The patterns around the Tribulation Eye, which flowed with the aura of destruction, were forcibly pulled away from the main body like rivers flowing into the sea, twisting into thin streams of light that filled the dragon's mouth.

A passage from "The On Tribulation Dao Qi Meridians" suddenly surfaced, concerning the evolution of using calamity to Tribulation Breaking.

No, that's not the original text.

Instead, it was a cool, clear female voice providing a secondary creative addition.

"Calamity is the file of heaven and earth, the blade of all things. People fear calamity as much as they fear death, unaware that calamity can also be consumed. To consume calamity, one must first absorb it into the body, allowing the flesh to bear it without destruction, and guide it with weapons without leakage. This is the way to Tribulation Breaking with the body and weapons. Beginners should guide calamity into the sinews, bones, skin, and hair, so that the fire of calamity burns the body but the Root Bone do not disintegrate. When the body can bear calamity, then calamity becomes my spear, and my spear becomes calamity. With every move, heavenly calamity follows the spear."

The next moment, with this text as the general outline, the True Meaning of Subduing Demons in "Nine-Character Great Hand Seal", the method of Tribulation Breaking in "The On Tribulation Dao Qi Meridians", the profound spear techniques of the Three Devil-Subduing Forms, and even a part of the evolution of divine duties were all incorporated into it.

Tribulation Breaking!!

This is the name of the marksmanship technique.

In an instant, Hu Mang felt his entire body swell slightly under the catalysis of his understanding of spear techniques. It wasn't a surge in power, but rather a kind of "accommodation" that had been opened, somewhat like the feeling he had when he opened his demonic veins.

The calamity power absorbed by the "Eye of the Tribulation Dragon" no longer just accumulated in his body, but traveled through his muscles and bones along the spear-wielding route of the Three Devil-Subduing Forms -Subduing Forms, like lightning and fire guided by the spear shaft, passing through his arms, spine, and legs, and finally returning to the spear tip.

He used his body as a furnace and his spear as a guide, uniting himself with the calamity and using his weapons to Tribulation Breaking.

Within the Dragon Eye, the vertical pupil slowly closed and then opened again.

This time, it no longer sees the appearance of the calamity, but rather the trajectory, key points, and gaps that can be pried open.

Hu Mang slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath.

"Using military force to overcome heavenly tribulation—it turns out the path the female general didn't finish was blocked by this."

Then, his expression turned strange again.

"Did I come up with this myself, or did you come up with it for me?"

He stared at the Shattering Thunder in his hand. Was that woman's voice real or an illusion?

"But this move feels a bit like a 'Heavenly Secrets Game' technique?"

He vaguely remembered that Rogue Person Yunxiu had told him that the Heavenly Secrets Evolution was actually divided into three levels. If the Three Flowers and Five Qi were perfected, one could predict one's own fortune and misfortune. If one cultivated the Primordial Spirit, one could sense the great trend of heaven and earth, confuse the qi of heaven and earth, and know the past and future of people. Above this was the Heavenly Secrets Game ", which could turn heavenly fortune into calamity and blessed land into ominous land.

This kind of "Heavenly Secrets Game" method is often only found in the most advanced Cultivation Method in this world. For example, the three Buddhist scriptures, "Past Dipankara Sutra", "Present Tathagata Sutra", and "Future Maitreya Sutra", are said to be able to penetrate the essence of all phenomena, know everything, understand every principle, and see every cause.

After hearing this, Hu Mang said that this level of big data calculation was incredibly powerful, and he didn't even know which version it was.

"Moreover, this move, 'Tribulation Breaking,' seems to be usable only when one has mastered a sufficient number of calamities."

Hu Mang's expression turned strange again.

"Calamity" is not a renewable resource; it's something that can only be encountered by chance.

Moreover, Hu Mang would rather not encounter it at all, because one wrong move and this thing can kill you on the spot.

He had faced several life-or-death crises in this Demon-Subduing City.

Even someone like him, who had seen life and death so often, was somewhat exhausted.

"So this move can't be used normally?"

"But on the bright side, once I master this move, I can practice it day and night, and my spear skills will improve dramatically in no time."

Just like his mother's second classic saying, "If you can't write, can't you at least copy?"

Hu Mang felt that as long as he could develop a realistic alternative to the "Tribulation Breaking" technique, achieving a 90% Compatibility spear skills wouldn't be a problem.

"But then again, what's all this commotion up there? Didn't I take down the final boss?"

The Hu Mang, puzzled, peered out.

Holy crap!!!
