69: Chapter 69 Breakthrough: The Divine Child Wushang Breaks Through Again

"It's time to impact the eighth realm, Soul Transformation." Xie Wushang's gaze flashed. With a thought in his mind, the Nascent Soul inside his Dantian cave heaven opened its eyes. The Nascent Soul's body cracked like a cocoon breaking for Rebirth, and a man who looked exactly like Xie Wushang flew out from within.

This was precisely Xie Wushang's Primordial Spirit.

This Primordial Spirit flew a thousand meters up into the high sky.

Finally, ripples spread across this Secret Realm.

Above the Jiang Clan's firmament, the might of the Heavenly Dao gathered, dark clouds rolling, locking onto the area below where Jiuyang Emperor Valley was located.

"It's the Heavenly Tribulation!"

"Is someone Undergoing Tribulation?" The clansmen of the Jiang Clan looked up.

Then everyone saw a spacetime passageway manifest from Jiuyang Emperor Valley, revealing a hundred-zhang-tall Primordial Spirit dharma body.

This was precisely Xie Wushang's Primordial Spirit.

His Primordial Spirit's gaze shifted, looking at the tribulation clouds in the high sky, and flew over.

When a Cultivator broke through their realm and stepped into the Soul Transformation realm, they would be locked onto by the Heavenly Dao, descending a Heavenly Tribulation.

Surviving the Heavenly Tribulation meant leaping over the dragon gate and embarking on the path of longevity.

From then on, as long as the Primordial Spirit was undying, even if the Physical Body was destroyed, one could still reshape their physique and live for another lifetime.

However, if they failed the tribulation, the Primordial Spirit would scatter, and their body and Dao would perish.

Many Cultivators perished in the Soul Transformation realm.

"It's Divine Son Wushang!"

"To think it's Divine Son Wushang Undergoing Tribulation!"

"Good heavens! How long has it been, and Divine Son Wushang has already stepped from the first realm into the eighth realm!"

High in the sky, the thunderclouds churned, growing thicker and thicker as if the firmament was pressing down across a radius of three thousand li.

The terrifying might of the Heavenly Dao contained within made the Primordial Spirits of many Jiang Clan Cultivators who looked over tremble.

"What a terrifying might of the Heavenly Dao!"

"With this kind of momentum, is this something only a Saint's tribulation would have?"

"What is going on? Divine Son Wushang is clearly only at the eighth realm!"

The Cultivators of the Jiang Clan were extremely astonished.

"Legend has it that those with extraordinary talents can rival Saints when Undergoing Tribulation at the eighth realm. Back in the day, our clan's Emperor Xinghe was like this. Wushang is truly deserving of being our clan's Divine Son." The Second Elder flew high into the sky, looking toward the direction of Jiuyang Emperor Valley, stroking his long beard with an expectant look.

Rumble!

In the firmament, lightning flashed, and a dark red sun emerged. It fell from the firmament, smashing toward Xie Wushang.

Lightning flashed across the sun. Every bolt of lightning carried the ultimate True Sun Fire, and as it split the Void Realm, it also burned the Void Realm into distortion. That momentum chilled the hearts of the Jiang Clan's Cultivators, causing them all to immediately retreat a hundred li, not daring to get involved.

"This is the legendary 'Sun Thunder Fire Tribulation'. Only those Prodigies with the bearing of a Great Emperor can attract this tribulation."

"This kind of Heavenly Tribulation is extremely dangerous. If they are slightly careless, their Primordial Spirit will be burned to nothingness. Can Divine Son Wushang withstand it?"

Some Prodigies of the Jiang Clan held their breath, their faces full of tension. When looking at the high sky ahead, they didn't even dare to blink their eyes.

They were afraid that in the blink of an eye, Wushang's body would be struck into ashes.

"The 'Sun Thunder Fire Tribulation', huh..." Xie Wushang raised his head, looking at the descending lightning. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. His Primordial Spirit directly soared straight up, his hands clenched into fists, and he smashed toward the lightning cleaving down from the high sky.

Boom!

With a single punch, it was like a great sun blooming, flames blazing fiercely, beating the Void Realm into a depression.

It beat the descending lightning until it scattered apart.

Finally, that huge fist, resembling a sun, smashed into the Heavenly Tribulation sun that crashed down from the high sky.

Looking from afar, it was like two suns colliding together.

Only behind the lower sun, there was a thousand-zhang-massive fist imprint following along.

That fist imprint was unstoppable. When the two collided, a terrifying force rippled outward, directly shattering the sun evolved by the Heavenly Tribulation in the high sky, turning it into fine powder. As a result, the tribulation might disappeared, the lightning was no more, and only Xie Wushang stood proudly in the sky.

"A single punch! The Divine Son actually shattered the Heavenly Tribulation with a single punch?" Seeing the Heavenly Tribulation defeated, the Geniuses of the Jiang Clan were full of shock.

"That's not right. That punch just now contained the Profound Truth of the Emperor's Dao... It is the Great Sun Void-Shattering Fist from our Jiang Clan's 《Great Sun Void-Shattering Fist Manual》..." The Second Elder's gaze flashed. "When did Wushang Cultivate our Jiang Clan's Great Emperor fist manual? And he even Cultivated it to Perfection."

"To Cultivate the Great Emperor fist manual to Perfection at such a young age... His terrifying talent is no inferior to the ancient emperors. Our Jiang Clan is likely to gain another Great Emperor." The Third Elder stroked his beard and smiled.

The fist manual created by the Great Emperor was extremely profound, and ordinary Cultivators simply could not comprehend the Profound Truth within it.

Wanting to Cultivate it to Perfection was even harder than ascending to the heavens; even Saints could not do it.

Xie Wushang right now was only at the eighth realm, yet he had already Cultivated it to this extent.

One could imagine how Heaven-Defying it would be if he were given more time.

By then, he might even surpass the Emperor Ancestor and create his own Emperor Scripture.

While everyone was shocked, in the firmament, the Lightning Tribulation wriggled, firelight bloomed, and it actually manifested a flame giant.

This creature was actually a thousand zhang tall, standing upright between heaven and earth. With a grip of its huge hand, it wielded a fiery long spear, thrusting toward Xie Wushang.

As the long spear thrust down, a majestic flame burst forth from the tip of the spear, transforming into a giant flame spear that pierced the Void Realm until it shattered.

There was also majestic lightning cleaving down.

Xie Wushang stood completely beneath the lightning, almost with nowhere to hide.

This strike was not the least bit weaker than the previous one.

It was even more tyrannical.

"What's going on... Why is there still a Heavenly Tribulation... Doesn't the eighth realm only undergo one Lightning Tribulation? What is going on here?"

Numerous Cultivators were astonished.

At the eighth realm, one only needed to survive a single Lightning Tribulation.

Only at the ninth realm, when attesting the Dao to become a Saint, did one need to undergo three Lightning Tribulations.

Saint Kings required six.

Great Saints required nine.

"Is there more!" Xie Wushang's gaze narrowed slightly as he looked at the giant holding the long spear and thrusting down. With a calm expression, his body soared straight up, his huge hand made a gripping motion in the void, and flames wriggled in his palm, condensing into a long spear that directly thrust toward the high sky.

Boom!

The two giant spears thrust together, producing a loud noise. An ocean-vast energy fluctuation shook the Void Realm into trembling.

Ripples spread outward, causing countless mountains to tremble and manifesting ancient formations one after another.

Quite a few Geniuses of the Jiang Clan were shaken flying away.

Even the Saints of the ninth realm felt suffocated.

"What a powerful strike; it is already comparable to a Saint at Minor Achievement!"

A Saint whispered with a solemn expression.

Immediately afterward, everyone looked up.

Yet they saw that on Xie Wushang's long spear, dark red lightning flickered, resembling tentacles extending upward.

It cleaved onto the giant spear above.

The lightning of that giant spear also cleaved down.

The two met in a counterattack.

Merely in an instant, the lightning above scattered, shattered by Xie Wushang's dark red lightning of annihilation.

Then, everyone saw the dark red lightning extend upward, shattering the long spear above.

That flame giant also scattered along with it.

"The Heavenly Tribulation has been defeated again?"

"How is that possible? The Heavenly Tribulation is conceived corresponding to the Cultivator's Profound Truth, unleashing the strongest strike. Who can defeat the Heavenly Tribulation?"

"Indeed, when normal people Undergoing Tribulation, they hard-resist the Heavenly Tribulation... Or use supreme treasures to block the Heavenly Tribulation... In the end, most of the supreme treasures are destroyed... covered in bruises... Why can Divine Son Wushang easily defeat the Heavenly Tribulation? This is simply defying reason!"

Many people were full of astonishment.

"Heavenly Tribulation?" Xie Wushang looked toward the high sky with a calm expression.

"I forged my Dao foundation with three hundred and sixty-five kinds of Law... Every single one has reached Perfection..."

"Matched with the power of my cave heaven... it makes the offensive evolved from a single Law Profound Truth... far surpass ordinary peers of the same realm, enough to cross realms to slay enemies. If the Heavenly Tribulation treats me as an eighth-realm Cultivator... naturally it cannot pose a threat to me."

"However, the Heavenly Tribulation will continuously increase the power of subsequent Lightning Tribulations based on the Cultivator's strength."

Xie Wushang whispered.

He integrated three hundred and sixty-five cave heaven anomalies into one, creating a Fusion of a new cave heaven anomaly.

His Primordial Spirit resided within the cave heaven, blending with it. The power he mobilized naturally far exceeded ordinary Cultivators by a hundredfold.
