269: Chapter 269 Crossing the Immortal Tribulation

Within the clouds, purple lightning roared and roamed like mad dragons, emitting a destructive aura that made all living beings tremble.

"This... what kind of tribulation is this?!"

"Such terrifying pressure! Could it be the Old Ancestor undergoing a tribulation?"

Inside the Qingyun Dao Sect, countless Disciples and Elders looked up at the sky in horror; under this heavenly might, they felt as insignificant as ants.

"Everyone, fall back! Activate the sect-protecting formation!"

Qin Shouzhuo's figure appeared in mid-air, shouting his orders.

As a Great Ascension Stage Old Ancestor, he recognized the extraordinary nature of the tribulation clouds at a glance: "This is the Void Immortal Tribulation! And it's the legendary... World-Destroying Lightning Tribulation!"

Before his voice could even fade.

A white-clothed figure soared into the sky, heading straight beyond the highest heavens to stand proudly beneath the tribulation clouds.

It was Lu Yuan!

"Come!"

Lu Yuan roared to the heavens, his voice like thunder, shaking the world.

"Rumble—!!"

The tribulation clouds seemed to have been provoked.

The first Lightning Tribulation crashed down.

That was no ordinary lightning, but a Wind and Fire Tribulation composed of countless wind blades and fireballs!

The gale was like a blade, and the fierce fire scorched the heavens; wherever they passed, the Void Realm was torn and burned through.

"Break!"

Lu Yuan neither dodged nor avoided it, and he didn't even use a Magic Treasure.

He simply threw a punch.

Chaos Qi erupted, transforming into a heaven-shrouding fist print that directly blasted the wind and fire across the sky into pieces.

But this was only the beginning.

Immediately after, Lightning Tribulations fell like raindrops.

Five Elements Divine Lightning, Yin-Yang Extinction Divine Lightning, Chaos Divine Lightning... each wave was more terrifying and more abnormal than the last.

But Lu Yuan, relying on his newly forged Chaos Void Immortal Body, stubbornly withstood all the attacks.

Under the baptism of the lightning, his Physical Body was not damaged; instead, it became increasingly translucent and resilient, as if the dross was being removed through a thousand refinements.

Until... the tribulation clouds suddenly stopped churning, and a strange, deathly silence fell over the world.

Yet within that silence, a sense of crisis that made even Lu Yuan's scalp tingle was brewing.

"It's coming!"

Yaochi Holy Mother nervously clenched her hands below.

"Hum—"

The tribulation clouds split open, and an illusory portal slowly emerged.

No lightning fell from the portal; instead, a... projection walked out!

It was the phantom of a tattered world, carrying an aura of endless destruction and despair as it slowly pressed down toward Lu Yuan.

"A Projection of the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth?!"

Qin Shouzhuo cried out in shock. This was a great horror that supposedly only appeared at the end of an era; how could it appear in a Void Immortal tribulation?

Lu Yuan's expression was solemn; he could feel that although this world projection was illusory, the power of laws contained within it was real.

If he were crushed by it, even a Void Immortal Peak would be smashed to pieces.

"Pure Land of All Gods!"

Lu Yuan shouted in a low voice.

"Hum!"

A layer of brilliant golden light bloomed around him, transforming into a sacred Domain.

At the same time, the phantoms of three hundred million Ancient Dragon Elephants manifested behind him, roaring at the sky.

That roar shattered the Void Realm, as if declaring war against the heavens.

"Boom!!!"

The Projection of the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth slammed violently into the Pure Land of All Gods.

At that moment, the entire Qingyun Dao Sect shook violently, and the Mountain Protection Array let out an overburdened wail, becoming covered in cracks.

The Pure Land of All Gods vibrated intensely, and fine cracks appeared on its surface as if it could shatter at any moment.

But in the end, it held firm!

That terrifying power, sufficient to destroy the world, was gradually worn away under the transformation of the Pure Land of All Gods.

"Phew..."

Lu Yuan let out a long sigh of relief.

However, before he could lower his guard, Yaochi Holy Mother's anxious voice suddenly came: "Husband, be careful! The tribulation clouds have not dispersed!"

Lu Yuan looked up abruptly.

Deep within the still-shrinking tribulation clouds, a blurry figure was slowly walking out.

The figure wore a grey robe and had an aged face; there were no pupils in his eyes, only two swirling vortexes of death.

The aura emanating from him was not ordinary Immortal Qi, but a deathly silence that ended and buried everything.

"Old Man Miesheng?!"

Yaochi Holy Mother recognized the figure at a glance; it was the ruthless man who had ended the Primordial Era!

"Is this the humanoid Heavenly Tribulation?"

Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes, his Battle Intent boiling.

The projection of Old Man Miesheng remained expressionless as he slowly raised a finger and pointed lightly at Lu Yuan.

"Die."

A single cold word was uttered.

As the finger pointed, the world changed color.

A vast river of the Yellow Springs appeared out of thin air, spanned by the Naihe Bridge, with billions of wronged souls wailing and struggling in the water.

An indescribable will of death followed this finger, crossing time and space to point directly at the center of Lu Yuan's brow.

The power of this strike had already surpassed the scope of a Void Immortal, faintly touching that unspeakable realm of a "True Immortal"!

One finger out, and heaven and earth are destroyed!

"So strong!"

Lu Yuan felt his hair stand on end, but he did not retreat.

"Jie Character Secret, triple combat power!"

"Boom!"

The aura within his body instantly surged threefold, like a volcanic eruption.

"Heavenly God Fist!"

Lu Yuan threw a punch.

With this punch, he held nothing back.

The Immortal Spiritual Power, Dragon Elephant power, and Chaos power within him perfectly fused at this moment.

Above the fist, a phantom of a grand Ancient Paradise manifested, its sacred radiance illuminating the entire dark sky, forming a stark contrast with the deathly Hell at the fingertip.

"Bang—!!!"

Fist and finger collided.

There was no world-shaking explosion, only silent annihilation.

That finger, which seemed capable of piercing the heavens, began to shatter inch by inch under the impact of the Heavenly God Fist, turning into a rain of light.

Next was the Yellow Springs river, the Naihe Bridge, and Old Man Miesheng's entire arm... finally, that overbearing humanoid Heavenly Tribulation was completely blasted into nothingness by Lu Yuan's punch.

But Lu Yuan's expression did not relax in the slightest; instead, it became even more solemn.

Because he felt that there was still something in the tribulation clouds.

"There's more?"

As expected.

The tribulation clouds churned again, and another figure walked out.

This time, it was a middle-aged man dressed in green robes, elegant and unrestrained.

He stepped on the Void Realm, and with every step he took, the surrounding space reversed and time flowed backward.

"Carefree Heavenly Venerable!"

Yaochi Holy Mother cried out once more: "The creator of the Xing Character Secret! A supreme powerhouse who mastered the world's ultimate speed and is proficient in the Dao of time and space!"

Lu Yuan's pupils constricted.

The projection of Carefree Heavenly Venerable took a step forward.

"Swish!"

Without any warning, his figure vanished from the spot, as if he had crossed through time and space to appear directly behind Lu Yuan.

Fast! Too fast!

So fast that even Divine Sense could not capture him!

"Carefree Heavenly Saber, Slash!"

At some point, a long blade had appeared in Carefree Heavenly Venerable's hand, and he delivered a silent slash.

Lu Yuan only felt a chill rush to the top of his head, and he subconsciously opened the Pure Land of All Gods for defense.

However.

That blade did not strike his body; instead, it weirdly slashed toward the Void Realm behind him—it was the "past" moment!
