Chapter 1243 Tribulations of the Path to Longevity



Even when he had broken through to the Supreme King stage, he had used himself to realize his dao and took the initiative to trigger a heavenly retribution!

Therefore, his tribulation had been different from that of the other Supreme Kings.

During these years at the bottom of the Underworld River, Lin Xun had been waiting not for the heavenly retribution to descend, but rather for an opportunity to prove his own dao.

Unfortunately, this opportunity had never arrived.

He no longer intended to wait any longer.

Hmm?

When Lin Xun stood up and looked at the yellow lamp, he seemed like he was struck by lightning as he realized a problem.

During the past several years, the lamp had opened a small world and protected him from the bizarre power of the Underworld River.

However, his dao heart had unknowingly developed dependence on it!

It was the thought that with this lamp, he wouldn’t have to worry for his life and could focus completely on finding a way out that made him forget that it was a treasure, an external object that was not a part of him!

When one placed their safety and security on external things, how would they walk the great dao path with their own cultivation anymore?

How would they get the opportunity to prove their dao anymore?

Because this, fundamentally, was contrary to the path that they sought!

At this moment, Lin Xun took a heavy hit from the realization. As if the barrier in his heart had been broken, he was enlightened.

He had to prove his own dao by himself!

Lin Xun looked toward the dark river beyond the yellow lights, where terror and danger were omnipresent.

He was no longer afraid.

Boom!

As he strode out of the light, a cold, violent, and terrifying intent instantly swept through him.

The river water boiled as if the thousands of demons within had awakened and locked their gazes on him.

Lin Xun was shocked to the core, and his breathing slowed down as he sensed an unprecedented terror, a great danger.

For a moment, he clearly felt the shadow of death looming over him!

However, a raging battle intent flared up in his eyes. His will was domineering and confident. His spirit was unshakable and unstoppable!

Fight!

In his heart, a demonic god was shouting for battle.

After four years of honing himself, Lin Xun released all of his power in an instant, and his might reached an unprecedented height.

Rumbles echoed throughout as his entire being became like a vast and unfathomable abyss that suddenly appeared at the riverbed.

Water, fire, True Dragon, Immortality, and Tai Chi, all kinds of power surged into this great abyss, which in turn emitted a magnificent and matchless dao glow.

In that instant, it was as if a deity had emerged at the bottom of the Underworld River!

……

In the ever boundless Underworld River, blood-red water churned, and the air was permeated with a bizarre and unsettling aura.

But today was different as a thick layer of black clouds had unknowingly filled the sky above.

A surging and depressing breath of calamity spread out, its power triggered the river even more and the scarlet water started tumbling violently.

The black clouds kept gathering at a fast speed until they completely blotted out the sky. The area fell into deep darkness and the atmosphere was suffocatingly depressing.

A heavenly tribulation was about to descend!

Clank!

A silver light suddenly flashed in the depths of the tribulation clouds, dazzlingly bright and sharp with the momentum to destroy the world.

It caused the bizarre power in the Underworld River to panic. In this instant, many ancient will fragments within started to retreat into hiding.

The heavenly tribulation represented the will of Heaven. How could it tolerate the existence of evil?

Boom!

The sound of thunder, dull like the war drums wielded by the Thunder God, began to resonate from the thick clouds and stirred the entire area.

A burst of scalp-numbing, mournful hissing came out from the Underworld River like that of terrified ghosts.

The blood-red river water boiled and erupted, throwing bubbles and waves high into the air. The scene was extremely turbulent.

At the bottom of the river, Lin Xun was bathed in radiant dao glow. He looked up and muttered, “My tribulation has arrived…”

While his words still echoed, he rocketed up.

Leaving with him was the yellow lamp.

……

Whoosh!

A radiant figure leaped out from the Underworld River and stood straight with his hands behind his back under the tribulation clouds. His clothes fluttered, and his black hair danced wildly.

After being trapped for four years, Lin Xun had triggered the opportunity to realize his dao and reappear in the world!

However, he had no time to savor his emotions, for his longevity tribulation was imminent!

Boom!

In the rolling black clouds, lightning thundered, shaking the sky. The river surged, throwing the air into chaos and to the point of collapse.

The entire world seemed to be enveloped in this heavenly might.

“This…shouldn’t be the three tribulations coming all at once, right?” Lin Xun’s pupils shrank, and he revealed a shocked expression.

The nine longevity tribulations were divided into three calamitous tribulations and six challenging tribulations.

The three calamitous tribulations were the Mind Calamity, Spirit Calamity, and Body Calamity. They targeted the cultivator’s mind, spirit, and body respectively!

The six challenging tribulations referred to the difficulties of seven emotions, six desires, karmic obstacles, karma, fate, and longevity.

Every time one of these tribulations was overcome, the cultivators would be able to advance one realm on the path to longevity, and the essence of their life and cultivation would undergo a complete transformation.

This was why there was the saying: “One tribulation in one day, every step toward longevity is an ordeal.”

However, Lin Xun did not expect that the calamitous tribulation he had been waiting for was actually a triple calamity tribulation!

Silver lightning surged in the depths of the tribulation clouds like heavenly silver swords, representing the tribulation called the Mind Calamity.

Violet lightning exploded, thick like rainbows, representing the Soul Calamity.

Red lightning rolled like furnace fire, representing the Body Calamity.

From such a sight, it was conclusive that the three kinds of calamitous tribulations had appeared together!

“I was worried that these four years had delayed my progress, but everything that should be here has all come at the moment!”

After calming down, Lin Xun actually revealed a smile. It was vague but one could see the conceit in his demeanor.

Boom!

As if angered by Lin Xun’s words, deep in the depths of the calamity clouds, a silver-colored Mind Calamity bolt that was as big as a house struck down.

Following closely was a violet Spirit Calamity bolt and a red Body Calamity bolt.

The land seemed to be unable to withstand this heavenly power as the air crumpled like a piece of paper being kneaded into a ball amidst the crunchy sound of erupting lightning.

Lin Xun didn’t dodge and instead rushed forward to meet it.

His mind, spirit, and body were instantly subjected to the shock of the respective thunderbolts.

His mind was filled with chaotic heart demons.

His spirit felt like it was being sliced by countless swords.

His body was being pierced from within by raging arrows.

His skin ruptured inch by inch, and blood streamed out. His mind was cracked like a mirror, and his spirit was like a lamp in a gale, waiting to be extinguished. All of this happened in just a second!

How could the power of the three heavenly calamities be ordinary?

Now that they were affecting Lin Xun from inside out all at once, he was instantly on the verge of death!

As hallucinations, severe pain, and drowsiness surged through him, Lin Xun let out a long, beast-like roar.

Most cultivators in his generation were afraid of Demon God Lin. But who had ever known the price he had to pay to possess such power?

Just these three heavenly calamities were already something that not everyone could survive!

Not to mention that Lin Xun’s tribulations were completely different from that of the others. Each one was exceptional, and with three coming together, the threat was definitely enough to make everyone in the world tremble!

“Break!”

With Lin Xun’s roar, his three primordial spirits started operating the Big Divine Meditation Art, remaining immoveable despite the attacks from all sides.

His mind had long become as firm as a sword that could cut down the sun and moon, ghosts and gods. It might have cracked, but it would not crumble easily.

And as he released his cultivation power to the extreme, the Body Calamity bolt was also dissolved!

In the blinding thunderstorm, he was scorched and panting. The first round had left him half-dead, but he overcame it in the end!

Lin Xun didn’t hesitate to consume a divine herb.

The Immortality Grand Dao, which had long since reached the Dao Law stage, started to operate.

In just a few breaths, he had completely recovered, and his body, mind, and spirit had become stronger after being tempered by the thunderbolts!

Rumble!

The tribulation thunderbolts raged in the tribulation clouds. Silver, violet, and red intertwined, dyeing the area into magnificent and vibrant colors.

Crackle!

Another round of bolts descended from the sky, and vaguely, there were resonating sounds of killing that resembled tens of thousands of heavenly soldiers launching a charging cry.

The bolts were obviously stronger than before!

Despite that, Lin Xun was fearless as he took a deep breath. Shrouded in brilliant streams of dao light, he was like a raging volcano as he unleashed all of his power.

Rumble!

Once again, the bolts struck him. They ruptured his tendons, bones, and skin. His spirit and mind were close to collapsing.

These tribulation lightning bolts were beyond heaven-defying!

Even if this scene was witnessed by other Supreme Kings, they still wouldn’t believe that there could be such a horrible tribulation in this world.

This was because of the dao path that Lin Xun had taken. It was different from every path that ever existed, and it was a path that belonged only to him!

As a result, the tribulations he faced were destined to be unique.

This time, Lin Xun was only able to recover from half of his injuries when he was greeted by the third round of thunderbolts.

Despite fighting them with everything he had, he still almost ended up being wiped out. He was struck into the Underworld River with his mind, spirit, and body all on the brink of collapsing.

The pain had already turned into a kind of numbness.

Life and death, at this moment, had all been forgotten.

The only thing supporting Lin Xun was the unyielding will in his heart!

In the following period, the power of the bolts kept increasing, and the blows that Lin Xun suffered were more severe than ever.

But he had never once given up!

He insisted on fighting even if his body, mind, and soul would be erased in the end!

Bang!

An unknown time later, when Lin Xun had survived another round of lightning tribulation with great difficulty, his physical body had completely broken, and the three primordial spirits had been ripped apart.

Only a strand of unyielding will power remained stubbornly between heaven and earth!
