Chapter 469 – Once Proven a Supreme Unity Immortal, Henceforth Free and Unfettered Between Heaven and Earth!
by spirapiraChapter 469 – Once Proven a Supreme Unity Immortal, Henceforth Free and Unfettered Between Heaven and Earth!
At this moment, Su Xing, who was in the midst of crossing his tribulation, naturally sensed the anomaly.
The aura of evil cultivators permeating the air, the towering and terrifying river of blood stretching across the sky.
All of it told Su Xing that the Advent Cult had come, the foreign races had come!
And their purpose was self-evident — to stop him from crossing his tribulation!
“Damn it, your young lord is just crossing a tribulation… is all this fanfare really necessary?”
“This is a Supreme Unity Thunder Tribulation! It’s not like I’m proving the Great Firmament Dao…”
Su Xing complained helplessly, but the tribulation lightning was imminent.
Resisting the Nine-Revolution Thunder Tribulation was already pushing Su Xing to his absolute limits — he naturally had no attention to spare for those foreign races!
“Big bro White Emperor, I’m counting on you guys!”
Su Xing sensed White Emperor’s movements in the distance from the corner of his eye and silently called out.
…
Meanwhile, White Emperor, who had been observing Su Xing’s tribulation from a thousand li (500 km) away, also wore an ugly expression.
“Damn it! When did these foreign races and human traitors infiltrate our Celestial Secrets Realm?”
“Heh heh… they’ve deployed several thousand fighters at the True Immortal level and above in one go!”
“Blood Two has even come in person… it seems the pressure young Su has put on them is quite considerable!”
A flash of fury passed through White Emperor’s eyes. At this critical juncture, the Advent Cult’s sudden attack was something White Emperor had not anticipated.
Ultimately, White Emperor had overestimated the Celestial Secrets Realm’s detection and defensive capabilities.
However, as the human race’s base of operations, although the Celestial Secrets Realm had suffered a sneak attack, being on home turf still granted them an enormous advantage!
“Senior White Emperor, what do we do now?”
Beside him, Xiao Zhanlong, seeing the upheaval within the Celestial Secrets Realm, also wore an unpleasant expression and hurriedly asked.
White Emperor roared:
“What do you think? Naturally — all disciples of Celestial Secrets Pavilion and White Emperor Tower, heed my command!”
“Follow this old man and slaughter every last one of these traitors and foreign races!”
“Protect young Su’s tribulation crossing with everything you have!”
With that, White Emperor leapt into the air and slashed toward Blood Two in the sky.
His towering sword intent caused heaven and earth to change color, and even Blood Two in the sky trembled at its force.
At the same time, within Celestial Secrets City, countless cultivators rose into the air.
From Celestial Immortals and True Immortals at the lower end, to Golden Immortals and Supreme Unity Immortals at the upper end — all of them swarmed out, charging toward the Advent Cult and foreign races in the sky.
“This is going too far! Mere evil cultivators dare to run wild in the Celestial Secrets Realm!”
In an instant, a great battle erupted!
The Advent Cult and foreign race side, though well-prepared and striking by surprise — with participants including not only Great Firmament and Supreme Unity level fighters, but also several thousand foreign race deities transported through spatial rifts —
This was, after all, the Celestial Secrets Realm, the human race’s base of operations.
So Blood Two knew in his heart that they could not win this battle.
All they needed to do was prevent Su Xing’s breakthrough by any means possible!
“Blood Three, Blood Four… the two of you strike together and stop that brat from breaking through!”
Blood Two blocked the terrifying sword intent from White Emperor while rapidly issuing orders.
“Understood!” Blood Three and Blood Four both knew there was no time to waste, so they struck in unison, attacking toward Su Xing.
…
On the other side, Su Xing, who was in the midst of his tribulation, had also reached the critical moment of facing the tribulation lightning!
He had survived the third-to-last bolt of tribulation lightning, leaving only the final two!
And at this moment, the tribulation lightning nurtured by the Heavenly Dao clearly came even more ferociously.
As if it wanted to strike Su Xing dead as quickly as possible.
“Hurry up! Even faster!”
Su Xing silently urged in his heart.
Finally, the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-eighth bolt of tribulation lightning struck down.
That terrifying thunder caused heaven and earth to change color, and shattered the mountain peak beneath Su Xing’s feet for tens of thousands of meters…
Su Xing let out a furious roar, sword intent erupting from his entire body as he forcibly withstood this bolt of tribulation lightning.
In the end, Su Xing successfully blocked it!
But a mouthful of fresh blood sprayed from his lips, and his aura instantly weakened considerably.
At the same time, Blood Three and Blood Four charged in to attack, a towering river of blood rushing straight at Su Xing.
Fortunately, with Xiao Zhanlong blocking, Su Xing only had to face Blood Three’s assault alone.
“Cough cough… that strike was already approaching mid-stage Supreme Unity… they really won’t give up until they’ve hit a dead end.”
Su Xing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, swallowed a handful of Healing Pills, and rapidly adjusted his condition.
After enduring consecutive tribulation bolts and the assault of Blood Three, a Supreme Unity Golden Immortal, Su Xing had inevitably suffered serious injuries.
While the tribulation lightning in the sky was still gathering, Su Xing desperately worked to recover from his wounds.
“Impressive brat… if we don’t kill you today, you’ll definitely become a major threat to our cult in the future!”
Blood Three was startled. Seeing that Su Xing had withstood both the tribulation lightning and his attack without perishing, he regarded Su Xing with even greater seriousness.
“No wonder the boss ordered us to eliminate you at any cost…”
“Sigh, but this operation — aside from Blood Two, myself, and Blood Four, the three of us brothers… the rest probably won’t escape!”
Blood Three glanced around, feeling some fear in his heart.
This was, after all, the Celestial Secrets Realm, the human race’s base of operations.
Their operation this time was always meant to sacrifice most of their people, all for the sake of killing Su Xing.
“No more hesitation — even if we pay a heavy price, I will cut you down!”
With that, Blood Three let out a thunderous roar, and his body began to glow faintly red.
At the same time, the river of blood swirling around him was steadily drying up.
Su Xing could sense the terrifying supernatural art that Blood Three was nurturing.
This all-out strike would truly reach the power of a mid-stage Supreme Unity Golden Immortal attack.
And at that very moment, high above, the final bolt of the Nine-Revolution Thunder Tribulation had also finished forming.
At the same time, two attacks arrived one after another…
Their combined power was something even a mid-stage Supreme Unity cultivator couldn’t withstand!
“Damn it, forget everything else! One final gamble!”
Su Xing took a deep breath, knowing there was no time to deal with Blood Three’s ambush.
The most important thing was to survive the Nine-Revolution Thunder Tribulation before him!
“Causality, reverse!”
Su Xing silently invoked the power, and the injuries within his body rapidly healed…
At the same time, his lifespan began depleting at an alarming rate!
In this short span, Su Xing had reversed causality twice in succession!
In the future, this would likely cause irreversible damage to Su Xing’s potential…
But fortunately, this was only within a simulation!
As long as he broke through to Supreme Unity Golden Immortal, Su Xing only needed to extract his cultivation level!
Ignore the costs paid, ignore the potential damage — extract only the most perfect, purest cultivation…
This was the heaven-defying advantage of the simulator!
While Su Xing fought for his life, the final bolt of tribulation lightning also struck him.
In an instant, Su Xing was hit as if by a devastating blow!
The terrifying thunder, that dazzling purple radiance, almost engulfed half the Celestial Secrets Realm in a single moment.
Within a radius of tens of millions of li… no, hundreds of millions of li, every cultivator was drawn to this thunderbolt!
After this bolt of lightning struck, the Heavenly Dao of the entire Celestial Secrets Realm seemed to reveal a moment of exhaustion.
The thunderclouds in the sky rapidly dissipated.
Su Xing looked up at the sky and seemed to sense the Heavenly Dao’s sentiment: “Little brat, you’d better appreciate this grand gift!”
“It truly is a grand gift!”
Su Xing shut his eyes tight, an intense look of agony flashing across his face.
That terrifying thunderous power, like shattered glass, dispersed through his meridians, reaching every limb, every bone, every single cell!
The Great Dao of Thunder brought ultimate destruction, yet within it lay hidden a sliver of vitality.
“All things in this world are divided into yin and yang… the Great Dao of Thunder is no exception!”
“Like metal, wood, water, fire — the Five Elements Dao… the Great Dao of Thunder also possesses yin and yang!”
“Yang thunder symbolizes vitality… yin thunder symbolizes ultimate destructive power!”
In that instant, enlightenment bloomed within Su Xing’s mind.
A flash of epiphany, and Su Xing sank into this wondrous state!
Amidst this tribulation of ultimate destruction, he struggled to capture that single thread of vitality!
Finally, Su Xing caught it!
At the same time, an unprecedented surge of vitality erupted from within Su Xing’s body!
The final bolt of tribulation lightning — its body-tempering power, the Great Dao insights it brought — all were absorbed by Su Xing!
In that instant, Su Xing completed his breakthrough!
At last, the Nine-Revolution Thunder Tribulation completely dissipated…
In the sky above, auspicious clouds seemed to drift past!
Within a million li (500,000 km), mountain flowers bloomed and fish leapt with joy.
Between heaven and earth, an astonishing tide of spiritual energy erupted, as if briefly returning to the ancient era.
Having proven the Supreme Unity Dao Fruit, heaven and earth seemed to offer their blessings in return…
The countless cultivators who had witnessed Su Xing’s tribulation now felt inspiration strike their hearts, as if touched by sudden enlightenment.
In just a brief moment, over a hundred thousand cultivators completed their breakthroughs one after another.
Cultivators at the peak of Spirit Transformation broke through into Void Return!
Tribulation Crossing stage cultivators began crossing their tribulations to ascend to immortality!
After Su Xing’s thunder tribulation, the Heavenly Dao’s tribulation lightning seemed to have entered a period of weakness.
As a result, the tribulation’s power had decreased by more than a grade.
Conversely, the benefits gained from the tribulation were even more astonishing!
When the first cultivator brave enough to “eat the crab” successfully ascended to immortality,
Countless Tribulation Crossing stage cultivators rushed to follow suit, all beginning their thunder tribulations.
On this day, nearly ten thousand Tribulation Crossing cultivators ascended to immortality in broad daylight, becoming immortals in a single day!
There were also True Immortal and Mystic Immortal cultivators who achieved breakthroughs!
Even aside from Su Xing, a second Golden Immortal was preparing to seize this opportunity to prove the Supreme Unity!
In the distance, White Emperor sensed the anomalies between heaven and earth, felt the benefits countless cultivators had received, and laughed heartily:
“Ha ha ha~ The Nine-Revolution Thunder Tribulation, proving the Supreme Unity in one fell swoop, has actually caused a brief surge in our human race’s fortune!”
“Countless cultivators have achieved breakthroughs and ascensions — how exhilarating! How exhilarating!”
The gloom in White Emperor’s heart was swept away completely, and he turned his gaze toward Su Xing in the sky, about to admire the sight.
But what he saw… was that river of blood swallowing Su Xing whole in an instant…
In that moment, White Emperor’s heart lurched, and he roared in fury:
“You deserve death!”
“Young Su…”
…
Meanwhile, Su Xing, having successfully crossed his tribulation, sensed his tremendous advancement!
The Yin-Yang Great Dao, thanks to that flash of epiphany, had leapt from the fifth realm entry level straight to fifth realm Peak!
The Great Dao of Thunder had advanced even further, becoming Su Xing’s first Great Dao to reach sixth realm Minor Mastery!
The qi and blood within his body had been replenished by several degrees!
Su Xing could feel that on the path from the Great Shaman Body Forging Art, Sixth Layer Peak to the seventh layer, he had already traveled at least half the distance!
“Hiss… although I wasn’t able to directly enter the Great Shaman Body Forging Art, Seventh Layer…”
“This breakthrough has already exceeded expectations! It’ll save me at least one or two simulations’ worth of bitter cultivation!”
Su Xing murmured.
And the benefits didn’t stop there!
Su Xing could feel that his physique seemed to have undergone a subtle transformation as well.
Of course, the greatest change was this!
Su Xing had successfully ascended to Supreme Unity Golden Immortal!
“Once proven a Supreme Unity Immortal… henceforth free and unfettered between heaven and earth!”
The gloom in Su Xing’s heart was swept away completely.
However, having just endured the thunder tribulation, Su Xing’s injuries were too severe and had not yet healed.
A wave of danger… like a raging tempest, swept toward Su Xing.
His Blessed by Fortune talent frantically sent warnings, and Su Xing instantly sensed that something was terribly wrong.
Yet at this moment, having just survived the thunder tribulation, Su Xing was in a state of extreme weakness, too late to mount any resistance or reaction.
In the instant before he lost consciousness…
All Su Xing saw was that overwhelming, all-encompassing blood red before his eyes…
…
When Su Xing regained his senses, he was already back in the familiar spirit field grotto-heaven.
His body was as weak as always, currently in the state of enduring the five signs of celestial decay…
The immersive simulation had been forcibly ended, and Su Xing’s consciousness returned to reality!
He was stunned for a moment, then Su Xing came to his senses and burst out in exasperation:
“Damn it, your young lord just finished crossing the tribulation, hadn’t even gotten the chance to show off… and I died just like that?”
Recalling the last thing he’d seen — that blood red filling his vision — Su Xing quickly deduced that he must have been ambushed and killed by Blood Three during his period of weakness.
“Curse it all, I let my guard down!”
“If it weren’t for the fact that key talents like One More Shot and time-stop had all been used up… I wouldn’t have died so pathetically!”
Su Xing’s face was somewhat pale, but then he suddenly remembered:
“Before I died, I should have already successfully crossed the thunder tribulation… and ascended to Supreme Unity, right?”
“Don’t tell me… I have to do it all over again?”
Anxiety gripped Su Xing’s heart as he eagerly looked toward the simulation panel.
【In Year 1,403, during your tribulation crossing, the Advent Cult and foreign races suddenly erupted into action. Unable to stand by and watch you break through to Supreme Unity through tribulation, they launched an attack at any cost!】
【In this battle, the foreign races lost several thousand deities. Advent Cult cadres Blood Three and Blood Four were killed on the spot… only Great Firmament Golden Immortal Blood Two escaped with severe injuries!】
【Because you successfully crossed the Nine-Revolution Thunder Tribulation, an anomaly occurred between heaven and earth, triggering a spiritual energy tide.】
【Under the reciprocal blessing of heaven and earth, hundreds of thousands of cultivators successively broke through…】
【Ultimately, after enduring 9,999 bolts of tribulation lightning, you successfully crossed the Nine-Revolution Thunder Tribulation.】
【You became a Supreme Unity Golden Immortal of heaven and earth!】
【However, having just become a Supreme Unity Golden Immortal and before recovering from your injuries, you were struck by Blood Three’s all-out attack, which cost him half his remaining lifespan.】
【Ultimately, you perished!】
【Ding, this simulation has ended!】
Su Xing looked at the text before him and let out a long sigh of relief.
“Good — although I died, at least I broke through!”
“As long as I extract the reward, I’ll directly ascend to Supreme Unity Golden Immortal!”
Overjoyed, Su Xing turned his gaze to the rewards from this simulation.
