412: Chapter 412 Finally Becoming a Golden Immortal!

In the outside world, during the long period while Lu Yuan was in secluded cultivation within the secret chamber, enduring inhuman torture to seek a Breakthrough, the situation in the vast immortal domain of Daluo Heaven had undergone subtle and turbulent changes following the conclusion of the Yuding Secret Realm.

The Taiyi Immortal Sect and the Taixuan Immortal Sect could be said to have tried to steal a chicken only to lose the rice in the Yuding Secret Realm; not only did they fail to obtain the supreme treasures they schemed for, but the elite Disciples they sent also suffered heavy losses.

Especially for the Taiyi Immortal Sect, the tragic fall of the peerless Prodigy Hua Yunfei, who was highly anticipated and hailed as the successor to the next generation's Sect Master, threw the high-level members of the Taiyi Immortal Sect into a state of absolute, frantic rage.

The moment the Life Soul Tablet representing Hua Yunfei's life imprint shattered with a bang inside the Ancestral Master Hall, the entire mountain gate of the Taiyi Immortal Sect was shrouded in the fury of several Grand Elders.

However, constrained by the supreme "Immortal King's Iron Law" of Daluo Heaven, which maintained the delicate balance between various powers, the Golden Immortal Old Ancestors of the two Sects—no matter how intense the killing intent in their hearts—could not tear off all pretenses and directly cross territories to strike at the Qingyun Dao Sect.

"Since we can't do it openly, we'll do it in the shadows! This brat has severed our Sect's Luck of ten thousand years; he must not be allowed to live!"

In the deepest part of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, within a Nether Fire Prison Secret Chamber shrouded by layers of primordial killing Formations that isolated all heavenly deductions, two Golden Immortal Old Ancestors, their bodies enveloped in golden divine flames, made their decision through clenched teeth.

To eliminate Lu Yuan, they did not hesitate to pay a massive price, spending an astronomical amount of resources sufficient to buy ten medium-sized immortal Sects—three entire Top-grade Immortal Spirit Stone Veins plus a drop of True Dragon Undying Blood passed down from ancient times. Through secret and complex dark channels, they secretly contacted the most terrifying, leech-like assassin organization in the dark side of Daluo Heaven—Xuantian Hall!

Xuantian Hall was a terrifying existence that had no fixed mountain gate and hid within the shadows of layers of space-time rifts.

They never questioned right or wrong or distinguished between good and evil; as long as the employer provided a suitable price, they would dare to take on an assassination contract even for the Sect Master of a Peak immortal Sect.

And this time, to ensure absolute success, Xuantian Hall directly dispatched a true ace assassin hidden in the darkness—Ji Wanli!

Ji Wanli possessed a terrifying cultivation at the Golden Immortal Early Stage Peak and, rarely, primarily cultivated the Space Golden Immortal Law, which was difficult to deal with even among Golden Immortals, and was proficient in various unpredictable Void Realm assassination techniques.

It is said that tens of thousands of years ago, relying on a fragmented ancient secret technique called the "Great Void Technique," he successfully assassinated a Golden Immortal expert of the same rank whose cultivation was even deeper than his own, and managed to retreat unscathed under the pursuit of countless experts from the opponent's Sect, earning him a fearsome reputation ever since.

"Lu Yuan... just a mere Profound Immortal Peak? Hehe, no matter how Heaven-Defying his combat power is, he's nothing more than a slightly larger ant.

When he triggers the Golden Immortal Tribulation and exhausts his foundation under the baptism of lightning, during that briefest moment of extreme weakness, that will be the day my Void-Severing Blade drinks his blood and takes his head."

Within the vast Void Realm tens of thousands of miles outside Qingyun Mountain, Ji Wanli was like a completely transparent shadow that could perfectly deceive even the Heavenly Dao Qi, silently lurking in a hidden spatial node.

His greyish-white eyes, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, stared fixedly at the direction of the Qingyun Dao Sect's main Peak, like a patient venomous snake, quietly waiting for the best moment to strike with a single fatal blow.

...

There is no sense of time in cultivation. After an unknown amount of time, above the Qingyun Dao Sect, the originally cloudless and clear sky where immortal cranes soared suddenly became oppressive without any warning.

The Spiritual Qi in the air seemed to have been sucked dry, becoming incredibly heavy.

"Rumble—!"

Above the Nine Heavens, the winds and clouds shifted color, and daylight instantly turned into eternal night.

A deep purple tribulation cloud, spanning a full million miles and so heavy it seemed it would crush the entire earth, converged frantically above the main Peak of the Qingyun Dao Sect at an incredible speed.

Within the tribulation cloud, countless Purple Heaven Divine Thunders as thick as mountains rolled and roared like furious thunder dragons. The terrifying heavenly might they emitted was like a tangible ten-thousand-foot mountain, pressing heavily on the hearts of every Qingyun Dao Sect Disciple, making even breathing extremely difficult.

"That is... is that the legendary Golden Immortal Tribulation?"

"Heavens! It's in the direction of the main Peak! Is the Old Ancestor about to break through to that supreme Golden Immortal realm?"

Within the Qingyun Dao Sect, the various high-level members like Gu Qingxue and Qin Mengyao, who were originally in secluded cultivation, felt this world-destroying Aura and rushed out of their respective Immortal Caves in shock.

When they saw the soul-stirring tribulation cloud in the firmament clearly, the shock in their eyes instantly turned into wild joy and faces full of pleasant surprise, their entire bodies trembling with excitement.

Meanwhile, in the secret chamber deep beneath the main Peak's hall.

With a soft "crack," Lu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.

In an instant, two beams of purple-gold Chaos divine light, as if tangible and containing the power to create heaven and earth, shot out from his eyes, unexpectedly piercing through the thick Chaos Dark-Mystic Stone walls and the ten-thousand-foot mountain Peak without any hindrance, shooting straight into the clouds!

"Having gone through the tempering, the Golden Immortal realm... is finally achieved!"

Lu Yuan rose to his full height, his voice low yet like the divine thunder of the Nine Heavens, vibrating throughout the world.

He merely took one step forward, and the space around him didn't even ripple. His figure directly ignored the barriers of the Formations and abruptly appeared directly beneath the million-mile purple tribulation cloud.

At this moment, Lu Yuan's own temperament had undergone an earth-shaking, transformative change.

His snow-white robes flapped loudly in the violent tribulation wind. Around him was no longer an ordinary spiritual power shield, but a faint purple-gold Chaos halo that seemed capable of crushing the eternal starry sky.

That was nothing else but his own "Chaos Golden Immortal Law," formed from the complete transformation and sublimation of the Laws within his body!

His Physical Body, after enduring that inhumanly extreme tempering of the Immortal Golden Nature, had every cell flowing with immortal Dao charms, truly achieving indestructibility through ten thousand tribulations.

"Boom—!"

The Heavenly Dao's will above the firmament seemed to sense the provocation from below and was enraged to the extreme.

Accompanied by an ear-splitting, heaven-shaking explosion, the first bolt of purple world-destroying heavenly thunder, as thick as a bucket and containing enough power to instantly turn a Profound Immortal into fly ash, crashed down toward the top of Lu Yuan's head with a destructive and violent Aura!

Facing such terrifying heavenly might that would drive ordinary people to despair, Lu Yuan not only had no intention of dodging, but he didn't even lift a hand, nor did he sacrifice any defensive Magic Treasures. He just stood proudly in the Void Realm with his hands behind his back, letting that extremely violent thunder strike his body fiercely.

"Crack!"

The deafening sound of thunder exploding rang out from Lu Yuan's body, and endless purple electric arcs instantly swallowed him whole.
