Cultivation was a heaven-defying act and every single step was difficult.
Prior to this, although there would be immense danger for every major cultivation realm, it was difficult to call it a tribulation.
The Divine Power Tribulation would only descend when one entered the Mahayana realm.
However, the Divine Power Tribulation paled in comparison to the Heavenly Tribulation.
Heavenly Tribulations were the most difficult to pass through in the minor chiliocosms!
If one could survive it, they could ascend to the upper world to become immortals.
If they failed, there would only be a single outcome—dissipation of the soul!
One had to endure the baptism of the Heavenly Tribulation if they wanted to cultivate against the heavens!
In Tianhuang Mainland, as long as a cultivator cultivated to the perfected Mahayana realm, they could choose to undergo Tribulation Transcendence even if they had not comprehended supreme divine powers to become Emperors.
In the ancient era, the Founder Master of Enigma Palace, Fairy Ling Long, did not comprehend supreme divine powers but underwent Tribulation Transcendence to ascend.
When cultivators cultivated to the perfected Mahayana realm, all they had to do was release their spirit consciousness to break through the barrier of this minor chiliocosm and they would attract the Heavenly Tribulation!
From the primordial era till now, there were very few cultivators who dared to trigger the Heavenly Tribulation at the perfected Mahayana realm because it was too dangerous.
Even many Emperors could not survive the Heavenly Tribulation!
Su Zimo had once read in Enigma Palace that Fairy Ling Long experienced immense danger during her Tribulation Transcendence as well.
If not for Fairy Ling Long’s unparalleled divination skills and magnificent attainments in array formations, she would not have been able to survive!
More importantly, one could only rely on their own strength for the Tribulation Transcendence.
If anyone else helped, that person would be implicated and many variables would arise for the Tribulation Transcendence!
Those were the precious experiences left behind by those who underwent Tribulation Transcendence in the ancient era.
However, no matter how precious those experiences were, they could not compare to the fact that many experts could witness a person’s Tribulation Transcendence process personally!
It could be said that the Martial Emperor’s Tribulation Transcendence was the center of attention!
Many experts of Tianhuang Mainland only knew one thing—the Martial Emperor would definitely undergo the Tribulation Transcendence.
However, the Martial Emperor had three true bodies and nobody knew how he would choose to attempt the Tribulation Transcendence.
“If I were the Martial Emperor, I would choose to use one of my true bodies to undergo the Tribulation Transcendence as a test. The other two true bodies can also see what happens during the process.”
“That’s right. Even if he fails the Tribulation Transcendence, he still has two true bodies. By absorbing experience, those two true bodies might be able to think of a way to dispel it.”
During this period of time, the experts of the ten thousand races had been discussing the Martial Emperor’s Tribulation Transcendence with different opinions.
This day, a voice suddenly sounded and spread to every corner of Tianhuang Mainland!
“I’m Desolate Martial. Ten days later, I’ll undergo the Tribulation Transcendence in the East Sea. Everyone, you can head over to take a look!”
Tianhuang Mainland was shaken!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Instantly, countless figures soared into the skies from all over Tianhuang Mainland and sped towards the East Sea.
Some of the figures had lower cultivation realms and were only at the Dharma Characteristic or Conjoint Body realm. Unlike Mahayana Patriarchs, they could not tear through the void to descend upon the East Sea right away.
Therefore, those cultivators set off immediately for the East Sea!
Although the Dharma Characteristic and Conjoint Body realms were still extremely far from Tribulation Transcendence, no one wanted to miss this opportunity.
“Which true body do you think the Martial Emperor will attempt Tribulation Transcendence with first?”
“I’m guessing the Dragon Phoenix True Body. After all, the Dragon Phoenix is a taboo. He has a higher chance for the Tribulation Transcendence and might be able to deal with changes.”
“I’m guessing it’s the Green Lotus True Body. After all, it’s an utmost treasure of the universe.”
For the past ten days, a large number of cultivators gathered around the East Sea.
Apart from some cultivators, there were also experts of the ten thousand races discussing.
Among them, there were many familiar faces—monkey, the spirit tiger, Qing Qing, Night Spirit, Little Fox and the Golden Lion were naturally among them.
Nian Qi had also rushed over from God’s Mainland and stood shoulder to shoulder with Tao Yao. In front of her old friends, she did not have the slightest bit of arrogance as the God Empress.
Beiming Xue and the Kun Peng had arrived as well.
Consort Yu, the Asura and Extreme Fire were in the crowd too.
Lin Xuanji, Ming Zhen, Little Fatty, Shi Jian and the others stood together.
The Emperors of the human race and the various races tore through the void and descended on the East Sea as well.
In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.
Suddenly!
Three cracks appeared above the East Sea and three figures with powerful auras walked out!
Su Zimo’s three true bodies descended at the same time!
The three true bodies stood far apart and looked up at the firmaments with calm expressions.
Everyone’s gazes were focused on Su Zimo’s three true bodies nervously.
Suddenly, Lin Xuanji frowned and asked softly, “Old man, did Brother Su say which true body would attempt the Tribulation Transcendence first?”
“No,”
The storyteller had a grim expression as well. “From the looks of it, there’s a high chance that the Martial Emperor is going to undergo Tribulation Transcendence with two true bodies.”
Suddenly!
Su Zimo’s three true bodies released their terrifying spirit consciousnesses at the same time and surged into the skies, breaking through the clouds and striking the barrier of the Tianhuang Mainland!
Psst!
Everyone was shocked and in an uproar!
“How dare the Martial Emperor!”
“The Martial Emperor is way too conceited. What if…”
“The Martial Emperor sure is bold to attempt Tribulation Transcendence with three true bodies at the same time!”
Instantly, a commotion broke out in the crowd!
Even the storyteller’s heart skipped a beat as he thought to himself, “This is a little reckless.”
As everyone discussed, dark clouds filled the skies above the East Sea in the blink of an eye. They were pitch-black and three massive clouds hovered above the heads of the three true bodies!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Wild winds howled above the East Sea and lightning flashed as thunder rumbled within the black clouds!
The three black clouds covered the skies and emitted a tremendous divine might that terrified the living beings of the ten thousand races!
The experts of the ten thousand races had long fled far away and were almost standing on the mainland, looking at the East Sea from afar. They did not dare to advance, afraid that they would be implicated by the Heavenly Tribulation.
Everyone could see clearly that of the three clouds, the cloud above the Martial Dao Prime Body was clearly larger.
The clouds above the Dragon Phoenix True Body and Green Lotus True Body were similar in size.
The three black clouds spun slowly and gradually turned into a gigantic vortex.
Faint red electric arcs began to flash from the clouds and gathered towards the center of the vortex with a terrifying power!
The cultivators were shocked when they saw the red lightning!
“It’s red lightning!”
“Did you think that the Heavenly Tribulation would be an ordinary lightning tribulation? This Heavenly Tribulation contains a destructive power and has long undergone a qualitative change!”
Ordinary lightning was colorless or white. However, the current Heavenly Tribulation was red!
The Heavenly Tribulation was about to descend!
The center of the black cloud vortex shone with a blinding red light that reflected thousands of kilometers and illuminated the mountains and rivers. The entire world seemed to be covered in blood!
Crack!
Almost at the same time, a red thunderbolt descended from the center of the three black clouds and struck Su Zimo’s three true bodies!
The Dragon Phoenix True Body and Green Lotus True Body stood with their heads raised and burning gazes. They looked at the descending Heavenly Tribulation and did not use any methods to defend.
“What is the Martial Emperor doing?”
“Why isn’t he releasing any Dharmic treasures or divine powers to defend against the Heavenly Tribulation?”
“Could it be that… the Martial Emperor wants to use his body to withstand the power of the Heavenly Tribulation?!”
The crowd was in shock.
In the blink of an eye, two red Heavenly Tribulations descended on the Dragon Phoenix True Body and Green Lotus True Body. However, the two true bodies were different and red lightning coiled around their bodies with crackling sounds!
The two true bodies withstood the Heavenly Tribulation unscathed!
On the other side, the Martial Dao Prime Body looked at the descending Heavenly Tribulation and was even more domineering. He reached out and grabbed the Heavenly Tribulation, squeezing it!
Boom!
The Heavenly Tribulation exploded in the palm of the Martial Dao Prime Body!
