Free Web NovelChapter 1735: Chapter 1602: Successfully Passing the Tribulation
The sea of thunder stretched for ten thousand feet, the entire world occupied by the furious heavenly tribulation, forcing the gathered observers to retreat again and again, not daring to touch even a speck of it.
Ye Fan sat cross-legged amidst the heavenly tribulation, a crack forming in the center of his brow. With a flash of light, the Heavenly Tao Seal formed by his divine soul flew out, enduring the tribulation along with his body and the holy embryo.
Ye Fan wanted to forge the strongest self and naturally wouldn’t miss any opportunity to strengthen himself. This kind of heavenly tribulation, though terrifying, was still within his ability to resist.
"Boom!"
The Water and Fire Tribulation descended, exuding an aura as if opening heaven and earth. Ye Fan’s divine soul trembled for a moment as the Heaven and Earth Tao Markings appeared, welcoming the baptism of the tribulation.
Naturally, his body also withstood such a heavenly tribulation, with traces of the essence of thunder power integrating into his flesh.
Around the holy embryo, eight elemental runes shimmered, forming a perfect Bagua Diagram, supporting each other yet seamlessly united.
At this moment, under introspection, Ye Fan’s body was undergoing a transformation, not a nirvana rebirth of being pulverized but a slow change.
Every heavenly tribulation that entered his body altered his physique, with golden light spots appearing on his bones, gradually transitioning from purple-gold to golden.
His blood, muscles, and meridians were also undergoing changes, emitting a faint glow!
This breakthrough to the Lord Realm was something Ye Fan had thoroughly prepared for. Not only had he cultivated the Divine Power Realm to its utmost peak, but he had also initially comprehended the essence and laws of the eight elements.
Regarding the heavenly tribulation after breaking through to the Lord Realm, Ye Fan intended to use this opportunity to completely reinvent his body.
He didn’t wish to cultivate the Nine Heavens Profound Body to the Sixth Layer; that was unrealistic.
Because over time, he had come to understand clearly that with each breakthrough of the Nine Heavens Profound Body, his body strength would increase nearly tenfold. Of course, the difficulty also increased tenfold.
Cultivating to the Fifth Level was already incredibly difficult; this is a gradual process, impossible to achieve in one go.
"Rumble..."
At this moment, there was no sun, moon, or stars, no sign of heaven and earth—only an expanse of thunder sea, surging like a real ocean, intimidating the soul.
The heavenly tribulation continued, its power also growing, even making the deputy dean of the Imperial Academy, Old Monster Zhou, feel bouts of terror.
"Boom!"
Endless lightning tribulation roared like heavenly drums, shaking the entire mountain range and land within the Emperor’s Secret Realm. In the distance, many peaks were shattered by the aftershocks, the earth fractured, leaving it in ruins.
This was the power of Heavenly Tao, merciless and terrifying, sending chills to the heart. An ordinary person would have turned to ashes long ago, unable to hold on.
In the distance, every observer stood in awe, many breaking into cold sweat, their clothes drenched. This power of the heavens was not something ordinary people could contend against.
Even top-tier demons like Li Yu’er, Wen TaDou, the Great Demon, and Yu Chanzi felt chills; they doubted they could withstand such a heavenly tribulation.
At this moment, even the Ancient Immortal changed color!
Because Ye Fan’s heavenly tribulation exceeded his expectations. Such a violent tribulation, even now, he dared not touch, let alone oppose.
However, his heart held some solace, believing that a tribulation even he couldn’t resist, Ye Fan surely couldn’t surpass either. Surely, Ye Fan would end in ashes, without a doubt.
"What a pity..."
The Ancient Immortal muttered, thinking that letting Ye Fan die like this was too easy a fate for him. Otherwise, in the upcoming challenge, he would definitely crush Ye Fan for revenge over the humiliation suffered in the Life and Death Battle Arena of the Yuehua Dynasty.
"Too terrifying, such a heavenly tribulation—few cultivators in the Lord Realm could endure it, much less Ye Fan, who just broke through to the Lord Realm?"
The old instructors of the Imperial Academy shook their heads and sighed. Ye Fan was undeniably genius but seemingly hated by the heavens. A heavenly tribulation that even made a Saint turn green descended on someone just in the Lord Realm, clearly intended for his demise!
"It’s over!"
Kou Wenjie and others looked at each other in dismay, also believing this kind of heavenly tribulation was insurmountable.
"Alas..."
Elder Lin of the Imperial Academy deeply sighed. Ye Fan was absolutely a source of pride for the human race and a trump card against the Demon Clan in the future, but first, he’d need to survive the immediate heavenly tribulation, which seemed unlikely.
Nearly everyone believed he was doomed this time; enduring such a terrifying heavenly tribulation seemed impossible. Since ancient times, even an Ancient Emperor in the Lord Realm hadn’t summoned such a terrifying tribulation.
Was it truly impossible to withstand this heavenly tribulation?
At this moment, in the center of the thunder sea, Ye Fan remained calm, without the slightest fear, even when faced with all sorts of heavenly tribulations. Instead, he proactively embraced the baptism of the tribulation.
Behind him, the holy embryo stood solemnly; the eight elemental symbols slowly rotated, especially the thunder element symbol, which shone brightly.
The Heavenly Tao Seal formed by his divine soul floated in the thunder sea...
Ye Fan fully accepted the test of the heavenly tribulation, his body beginning some transformations, with more and more golden light dots appearing on his bones, enveloping him in a faint golden glow.
Thunder power flowed through his body, integrating the power from the heavenly tribulation, fortifying himself.
Every heavenly tribulation was terrifying, absolutely deadly for ordinary cultivators, but within the endless power of destruction lay the essence of life.
Heaven is fair; while it imposes heavenly punishment to test one’s strength, it never fails to leave a shred of hope for survival.
And Ye Fan was precisely grasping this sliver of hope, his treasure body crystalline, like Liu Li. Within three hundred and sixty acupoints, the holy embryo illusions posed diversely, yet invariably mirrored Ye Fan himself.
Heavenly Sound of the Great Dao roared, as if three hundred and sixty holy embryo illusions around Ye Fan were chanting sutras, blessing the main body!
This scene was extremely shocking, but unfortunately, no one saw it. Only Ye Fan could sense it. Above the sea of consciousness, golden characters flickered like stars, emanating a mysterious glow.
"Boom!"
The Heavenly Tribulation became even more violent. The Ninety Five Heavenly Tribulation, Five Elements Thunder Tribulation, Xuanyin True Tribulation, Water and Fire Tribulation...
Various Heavenly Punishments dominated the sky, all striking down!
The world was a vast expanse of white, and apart from the deafening thunder, nothing else could be heard. The cultivators had to use their divine consciousness to communicate, as they couldn’t hear each other otherwise.
"This is just too terrifying!"
This was everyone’s thought. With such a powerful Heavenly Tribulation, how many could withstand it? Although Ye Fan had broken through to the Lord Realm, he definitely couldn’t overcome the Heavenly Tribulation; it was all in vain.
"Nearly a year spent, consuming endless Spirit Stones, and this is the result? What a pity!" Many old teachers at the Imperial Academy sighed.
In the crowd, Gu Xiao showed a smug smile. So what if he’s a demon? Even Heaven doesn’t allow his existence. No matter how strong you are, can you surpass Heaven?
However—
As time passed, everyone’s thoughts began to change!
Because the purpose of the Heavenly Tribulation is to test whether a cultivator’s strength and realm match. Generally, if a cultivator can’t withstand the tribulation, once the cultivator dies, the tribulation loses its target and naturally dissipates.
But until now, the Heavenly Tribulation had not disappeared, and instead, it grew stronger, indicating that Ye Fan was still alive. Although no one knew how much longer he could hold out, everyone was utterly shocked.
"No, there must be some kind of Secret Treasure on him that can absorb the Heavenly Tribulation; otherwise, he couldn’t last this long!"
Gu Xiao exclaimed excitedly.
He was the last person who wanted to see Ye Fan succeed in overcoming the tribulation, as that would mean Ye Fan had the strength to challenge his little ancestor, leaving him far behind.
Although his strength had also changed significantly over the past year, he still felt he couldn’t compare to Ye Fan.
Among the ten chosen this time, he was undoubtedly at the bottom, like a rabbit caught in the last days of the year, irrelevant whether he was there or not. freёwebnovel.com
"Hmph, he has an awakened Emperor Weapon on him, naturally helping him to resist the Heavenly Tribulation!" Gu Xian coldly snorted and said.
"Of course! Ye Fan also has the Nine Heavens Mystic Crown. Even if it’s severely damaged, it’s still a Great Emperor’s Emperor Weapon, so it must be that way!"
Upon hearing Gu Xian’s words, many people had a look of sudden realization, believing that the reason Ye Fan could withstand such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation was most likely due to the Emperor Weapon, Nine Heavens Mystic Crown!
An hour passed, and the Heavenly Tribulation had still not disappeared; instead, it became more fierce. Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water, and other tribulation lightning struck in succession, a terrifying scene, as if creating Heaven and Earth anew.
Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water circulated as if to create a new world, trapping Ye Fan in the center.
Ye Fan showed no fear. His Holy Embryo returned to the Dantian, his Divine Soul to the sea of consciousness, making himself the eternal one, receiving the test of the Heavenly Tribulation in the center of the Thunder Sea.
"Roar..."
Ye Fan let out a mighty roar, opening his mouth to swallow the Ten Thousand Feet Thunder River into his body, illuminating his skeleton, viscera, and flesh as clear as day.
Ye Fan sensed that the Heavenly Tribulation was about to end. He was at the critical moment of rebirth and absorbed the power of the Heavenly Tribulation to complete the final transformation regardless of himself.
At this moment, his bones had fully turned golden, radiating golden light, while his blood, meridians, and muscles were purple. The old skin on the surface cracked and peeled off, revealing a healthy bronze complexion.
The violent Heavenly Tribulation destroyed countless mountains, ravaging the surroundings of the Emperor Battle Arena beyond recognition, with the ground cracked like a spider web.
Only the Emperor Battle Arena remained intact, protected by the Emperor Array Runes, immune to any Heavenly Tribulation, proving to be eternally invincible.
The Heavenly Tribulation came suddenly and disappeared just as abruptly. A moment ago, the Ten Thousand Feet Thunder Sea was rampant, but in the blink of an eye, it vanished without a trace, and the sky returned to clear!
Ye Fan had already changed into a blue robe, standing on the Emperor Battle Arena like a Great Emperor, lonely as snow.
"What? He actually made it through?"
"So unbelievable!"
"This kid is defying heaven! Such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation couldn’t stop him!"
Seeing Ye Fan safely pass through the Heavenly Tribulation, everyone was shocked, with faces of disbelief. No one expected he would actually withstand the test of the tribulation in the end.
"Ye Zi is too strong!" freēwēbnovel.com
Kou Wenjie clenched his fists, waving them hard, shouting loudly with excitement, as if he himself had just publicly overcome a tremendously terrifying Heavenly Tribulation.
"He made it..."
The Ancient Prince Yue Haoyu’s eyes were filled with a peculiar brilliance, softly saying a sentence, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"This kid is indeed extraordinary, with unlimited future achievements!"
Even Elder Lin, the depth of the Imperial Academy, was shocked, not expecting that Ye Fan would really withstand such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation, and looked quite relaxed!
