Chapter 997 Ascension Tribulation

After explaining the matter, Yuan Qingque pointed to his forehead, and the Nine Heavens Dao Fruit he had refined had been pulled out again.

This Dao Fruit was like a circle composed of nine sword-shaped beams of light, but in Yuan Qingque's hand, he pinched it into a tower made up of nine beams of light stacked up and down.

"Qing'er doesn't need me to worry about her future, but you can't. I'll leave this Dao Fruit to you!"

While Yuan Qingque was speaking, in the midst of Yuan Zhen's surprised expression, he stretched out his hand and pressed this more powerful Nine Heavens Dao Fruit to her forehead.

Yuan Zhen immediately sat upright on the cloud and began to urge the Nine Heavens Mysterious Sutra to refine.

...

Tongtian Dao Refining Tower.

The demon lord sighed when he saw the Void Gate that suddenly appeared in front of him.

After Yuan Qingque practiced the Void, it had no more power to resist.

After crossing the Void Gate, the demon lord landed beside Yuan Qingque.

"Daoyou, we should get on the road."

Yuan Qingque saw the human-shaped demon lord and reminded it.

"Brother, please!"

After hearing this, the Demon Lord nodded, and then rolled in the air, and a white dragon appeared in the air. The dragon scales were shining like a white jade, and there was a faint mist on the dragon horns, and a pair of dragon eyes were like ice and snow.

Yuan Qingque looked at the white dragon beside him, and a surge of emotions rose in his heart.

In the past, Yiyuan Zhenjun rode a yellow dragon to ascend, and today he also has a white dragon.

At this time, the ascending spiritual light falling from the sky spread out, covering the Demon Lord beside him.

"Everyone, see you in the fairyland if you are destined."

Yuan Qingque bowed to the three Wuchen Zhenjuns standing in the clouds in the distance, and then jumped and landed on the back of the dragon.

The Demon Lord gently shook the dragon head, glanced at the direction of the desolate sea, and then let out a long roar, the sound shook the sky, and the spiritual light overflowed.

When the dragon wings spread, a strong wind blew.

In an instant, Yuan Qingque and Bailong followed the ascending spiritual light falling from the Lingkong Immortal Realm and rushed straight into the nine clouds.

Ye Qing was guarding Yuan Zhen and could not leave. He could only look up and watch Yuan Qingque's figure getting smaller and smaller, and finally turned into a little light and disappeared in the extremely high sky.

There was reluctance in his eyes, but after Yuan Qingque left, he had no time to feel sad, because the Jiutian Dangmo Sect in the future still needed him to support it.

The three gods of the Demon Dao died, but the Dongli Demon Dao was not extinct.

Before Yuan Qingque left, he didn't want to add more lines and handed this matter to future generations.

The two gods of the Taixu Piaomiao Palace in the distant clouds, at this time, followed Yuan Qingque's ascending spiritual light and rushed up.

Ascension is rare in the world, they don't want to miss this opportunity, they want to see it.

Wuchen Zhenjun was half a step late because he had to tell the disciples of the Daode Sect to take this opportunity to hunt down the Dongli Demon Dao.

However, after making the arrangements, he immediately controlled a pill and flew to the sky.

On the way to ascend, Yuan Qingque closed his eyes and concentrated, feeling the primordial spirits rising from the five continents and four seas.

This is the living God of Transformation in the Tianhe Realm.

After sensing the aura of ascension, all of them, unless they were in a closed state, followed and flew up to see what was going on.

Yuan Qingque didn't care about them, closed his eyes tightly, concentrated his mind, and felt the realm of Lianxu that he had just broken through.

Killing the three gods of the demon path is only the most superficial power of the realm of Lianxu.

The Jiutian Dangmo Sect has a profound foundation. Yuan Qingque had already obtained the chapter of Lianxu in the Jiutian Xuanjing taught by the ancestor in the sixth floor of the Tongtian Liandao Tower, so he was not completely ignorant of this realm.

The later the ascension tribulation is, the more terrifying it is. Even a Lianxu cultivator dare not say that he is completely sure to survive it.

So Yuan Qingque must use all his time to master his current realm and power.

As the white dragon flapped its wings, its scales trembled. The temperature outside had dropped to an extremely cold level, but the white dragon was born to control the power of Yinhan Ice Soul. For it, it was like a fish in water. It even felt that it had fallen into a bottleneck state, and it was slightly loosened.

Unknowingly, they had passed through nine invisible barriers, which were the Nine-Layered Heavenly Gang.

This was also the first level in the ascension process, and it was also the most basic test.

Each layer of the Nine-Layered Heavenly Gang contained different forces of heaven and earth. After the cultivation reached the realm of transformation, ordinary spiritual energy was very slow for them to improve. In the Nine-Layered Heavenly Gang, if they were lucky, they could find the innate pure energy that had not been completely dispersed into spiritual energy.

The higher the level, the purer it was.

Only when the Yuanshen refined these, could it return to the innate from the acquired, and it would be easier to get close to the Tao and listen to the Tao, and merge with the Tao.

With the cultivation of the True Lord of Transformation, it was naturally easy to surpass the Nine-Layered Heavenly Gang.

However, above the Tiangang, there is the Nine Heavenly Tribulations, which is a great terror that only the existence of the peak of the Spiritualization Realm dares to touch.

And most of the innate energy contained in each layer of the Heavenly Tribulations is contained, so the Spiritualization Realms cultivators of the Tianhe Realm often come to try to pass the Heavenly Tribulations, just to absorb these.

Yuan Qingque and Bailong did not stop at all, and directly broke through the Nine Heavenly Tribulations and crashed into the Ascension Heavenly Tribulations.

This Nine Heavenly Tribulations is the rule of the Great Dao jointly established by several great masters who opened up the Lingkong Immortal Realm. The original intention was to provide a way of ascension for cultivators who were not from their lineages.

When the Lingkong Immortal Realm was first opened, super powers such as the Jellyfish Palace and the Taixu Piaomiao Palace all had their own channels to ascend to the Immortal Realm.

The so-called ascension tribulation is like the college entrance examination of the immortal gate. If you can stand out from the thousands of cultivators in the lower world and cultivate to the realm of Lianxu, then you are a talent recognized by the immortal world. You can rely on your own efforts to become a new member of the immortal world and be accepted by the other super powers.

For example, the ancestor Jiu Tian Dang Mo, after Lianxu ascended, got the opportunity to listen to the teachings in the Jellyfish Palace. When he listened to the teachings for the third time, he understood his own avenue and succeeded in merging with the avenue, which attracted the jellyfish that had surpassed him to descend and accepted him as his personal disciple.

However, with the several great changes in the world of Tianhe Realm, the backdoors of ascension opened by several great masters for their descendants were either sealed, or the keys were lost, or they were destroyed.

This led to the ascension tribulation that was originally used to demonstrate fairness and left to outsiders, but it has become the only regular channel for ascension now.

It is precisely for this reason that the cultivators who can survive the ascension tribulation and enter the immortal world are all top-notch geniuses!

Since the opening of the Lingkong Immortal Realm, countless cultivators have died in the nine-layer heavenly tribulation.

Especially in the first three layers of heavenly tribulation, 90% of the gods of the Tianhe Realm almost died here.

"Brother Dao, the first layer of heavenly tribulation has arrived!"

At this moment, Bai Long spoke, like thunder, and it reached Yuan Qingque's ears.

Yuan Qingque opened his eyes and looked around. He found dozens of Yuanshen Dharma images sitting on the nine layers of heavenly gangs, waiting for him to pass the ascension heavenly tribulation.

Among them, the three closest to him were Wuchen Zhenjun of the Daode Sect and Dakong Dagu of the Taixu Piaomiao Palace.

Yuan Qingque nodded to them lightly, and then flew into the first layer of heavenly tribulation with Bai Long.

This heavenly tribulation was thunderous.

Under the thunder and lightning, it seemed to have entered a world of thunder. Any tangible matter that entered it would be hit by thousands of thunders and turned into dust by the mighty thunder force.

Most of the heavenly tribulations of various realms in the Tianhe Realm are extended from here.

However, even the power of the incarnation heavenly tribulation is like a firefly to the bright moon compared to the first level of ascension heavenly tribulation.

But for Yuan Qingque and Yao Zun, this level of heavenly tribulation only consumed a little of their energy.

Not only them, but also more than half of the dozens of incarnations of the gods who were originally in the nine-level heavenly gangs broke into the first level of heavenly tribulation.

Yuan Qingque just opened his mouth and spit out a stream of nine-day true qi, forming a protective light shield, while the white dragon under his feet roared to the sky, surrounded by extreme cold, turned into a series of cold waves, and forcibly carried the almost endless heavenly tribulation thunder and soared into the sky.

Soon, they broke into the second level of heavenly tribulation, where there was a raging fire and a raging flame, burning everything into nothingness.

It is said that the original sect-stabilizing technique of Burning Heaven Pure Land, the source of Burning Heaven Purifying Fire, came from here.

After arriving here, the demon lord's face began to become solemn.

Its true spirit power just restrained the burning fire.

However, it was only at the peak of the transformation of spirits after all. Compared with the heavenly tribulation that was continuously supported by the power of heaven and earth, it was possible that it could not survive due to exhaustion.

Before it was sealed by the Tongtian Refining Dao Tower, it tried this ascension heavenly tribulation. It was in front of this second heavenly tribulation that it felt inadequate and stopped and retreated.

At that time, the demon lord could feel that if he tried his best, he might be able to survive this second heavenly tribulation, but in that case, when he entered the third heavenly tribulation, he would definitely die.

Compared to that time, now it has signed a contract with Yuan Qingque and cannot retreat no matter what.

While looking up to the sky and howling, the demon lord fully exploded his white dragon true spirit power, carrying Yuan Qingque on his back and shuttled through the sea of ​​fire.

The frost on the dragon scales condensed by the extreme cold power of the demon lord melted, and the water vapor evaporated, but it was transformed into layers of water curtains, resisting the invasion of the raging fire, trying to pass the second heavenly tribulation at the fastest speed.

In the blink of an eye, they had rushed halfway.

Yuan Qingque's face remained unchanged. He noticed that the speed of the white dragon under him suddenly slowed down. He opened his mouth and spit out his nine-day true energy, condensing it into a powerful talisman, which fell on the white dragon.

In an instant, it seemed that a mouthful of immortal springs emerged on the white dragon, and a continuous stream of clear and cold water gushed out, pouring on the crystal scales of the white dragon, blocking all the burning fire outside the body.

After receiving the blessing of Yuan Qingque's sixth-level talisman, the demon lord finally slowed down and rushed to the third heavenly tribulation.

At this time, Yuan Qingque looked around again.

He found that there were more than a dozen Yuanshen Dharma images following him.

This means that they are at least at the peak of the Spiritualization Realm.

But soon, there should be only a few left.

Thinking this way, Yuan Qingque and Bailong have already entered the third heavenly tribulation. This is a world of ice. Snowflakes fall one after another and land on Bailong, making him, who has the blood of the extremely cold True Spirit, feel comfortable, while his originally agile body begins to slowly slow down.

"Be careful!"

The void around Yuan Qingque twisted, which means that the temperature outside is so low that even his body cannot bear it. He will be frozen and shattered at the moment of contact.

He immediately cast a warm talisman and blessed Bailong.

The Demon Lord also reacted at this time. It almost turned around and was assimilated by the extremely cold power here.

After receiving the blessing of Yuan Qingque's talisman, its Zifu Consciousness Sea, which had been half frozen, began to operate and immediately burned its own White Dragon True Spirit blood.

After all his efforts, the Demon Lord finally got rid of the influence of this ice catastrophe temporarily.

His consciousness re-activated, and he was surprised to discover one thing, that is, there was a crack in its bottleneck. If he could survive this great calamity and absorb the power of the extremely cold ice soul here for a long time, he might be able to break through. The shackles of the fifth level become the sixth level, the real white dragon.

At this time, the Nine Heavens Qi in Yuan Qingque's body was becoming more and more powerful. His eyes were like the sun, shining in all directions, melting the frost blocking him.

Seeing this, Bailong didn't dare to neglect, and used the power of the true spirit. The dragon's breath was like a warm current, melting away thousands of miles of ice.

And when they were climbing towards the fourth level of heavenly tribulation, nine more spiritual lights rushed up.

In the Tianhe Realm, there are indeed only a handful of true gods who can survive the third level of heavenly tribulation.

Yuan Qingque saw a few familiar people and nodded lightly.

Those few people also responded very politely.

As the last snowflake melted, Yuan Qingque rode a white dragon and broke into the fourth level of heavenly tribulation.

Six of the remaining nine God-Transforming True Lords hesitated and stayed where they were.

Only two swords and a colorful phoenix followed and broke into the fourth level.

There was also a shadow that was not noticed by these God-Transforming True Lords. They squinted their narrow eyes and quietly entered the fourth level of heavenly tribulation.

The fourth level is the power of the void that contains chaos. This ray of shadow just entered and before opening his eyes for a while, it was suddenly torn into countless pieces.

And at the moment when the shadow shattered, hidden in a water palace in the deepest part of the world, a young man covered in black smoke spat out a mouthful of blood.

"This fourth level is so terrifying. If you don't practice the void, I'm afraid only the God Transformation Lords in the Taixu Piaomiao Palace who have mastered the power of the origin of the void can survive it."

The young man recalled the last scene that was transmitted to him before his mind was shattered by the void, and he spoke with lingering fear.

He thinks he is the number one demon in the Tianhe Realm.

His cultivation level is so high that even the top gods in Zhongzhou Holy Land don't take him seriously.

He even entered the Tianhai Sea Fish Palace once. Although he was discovered, he still came out alive.

But he didn't expect that under the measurement of this ascension catastrophe, he would find that his cultivation was not the best in the world.

Needless to say, Yuan Qingque's training skills are actually better than those of Zhongzhou's two swords.

However, this time spying on the Ascension Tribulation is not without its benefits.

At least the young man found his next path.

…

During the fourth level of heavenly calamity, Yuan Qingque finally took action. His eyes were like brilliant stars, dazzling, and the practice chapter of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Sutra finally lit up again in the Tianhe Realm after thousands of years.

The white dragon also tried its best, but its state was completely inadequate at this time. In the roar of the dragon that shook the world, the dragon's body continued to twist, and pieces of its scales shattered.

It attempts to dissolve the power of the void and freeze the void with its own true spiritual power.

This has had a certain effect, but compared to the endless catastrophes, its true spiritual power will never be exhausted.

After only walking a third of this section, Bailong reached the limit of his endurance.

In a shrill dragon roar, its dragon scales began to shatter and fly away, and the dragon's blood spilled into the tribulation, turning into dazzling cold light.

This buys it some time again.

When Yuan Qingque saw this scene, he also blessed Bailong with all the talismans that he could use that were useful at this time, hoping to let it share some of the power of the catastrophe with him as much as possible.

According to the ascension experience of the ancestors of the Jiutian Demon Sect, as long as Bailong lasts longer, the more vitality he can preserve.

With the blessing of the sixth-level talisman, Bailong once again advanced a third of the way with difficulty.

But this is already the limit.

In the last dragon's roar, its body turned into countless light spots, and was shattered into pieces of frost by the endless power of the chaotic void.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Qingque sighed softly, and then used his escape method to break away from Bai Long's body.

Without the white dragon, Yuan Qingque began to go all out. He sacrificed his own flying sword. When the human sword was combined, it was like a brilliant arrow, flying through the last third of the distance. Rushed into the fifth heavenly tribulation.

At this time, the other three god-transforming true kings who had followed them into the fourth level of heavenly tribulation had to stop.

They waited here for a while, and vaguely heard the sound of a sword that shook the heavens and the earth, and there were energy fluctuations that were so terrifying that their souls and bodies could not help but tremble.

The colorful glow seemed to be extremely bright at a certain moment, but it soon dimmed.

They did not see the last scene of Yuan Qingque crossing the ninth heavenly tribulation.

I don’t know whether he succeeded or failed.

After being enveloped by the ascending spiritual light, unlike them, they could retreat at any time if they could not survive the catastrophe. Instead, they could only be carried along by the ascending spiritual light towards the spiritual world.

After waiting for a few more days, it was confirmed that no movement could be detected, and all the God-Transforming True Lords had left the Nine Heavenly Tribulation.

Among the five continents and the four seas, those large sects with long inheritance have ways to contact the upper world.

It's just that this is the foundation.

It can only be used actively when the sect is about to be extinct, or when a major event or catastrophe changes the fate of the Tianhe Realm.

At other times, only the disciples of the lower realm can passively wait for the communication from the ancestors of the upper realm.

They naturally dare not waste the opportunity to communicate with the ancestors of the upper realm for such a matter as whether Yuan Qingque has succeeded in ascending.

However, the news that Yuan Qingque of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect has successfully practiced the void was soon known to all forces in the five continents and four seas.

Considering that the last ascended cultivator, Yiyuan Zhenjun, also came from Dongzhou, many people felt that Dongzhou was a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery.

But soon someone saw the weakness of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect now.

After Yuan Qingque ascended, the Jiutian Dangmo Sect no longer had Huashen Zhenjun sitting in.

The other major forces in the five continents and four seas that did not have the practice of the void inheritance were all a little eager to move.

But this matter must be tested.

Soon, the black dragon of the Xuanjiao King Court received many secret communication symbols.

Donghuang!

Chen Mobai naturally got the news.

The spiritual light of ascension penetrated the sky and the earth, and this Dongzhou could see it. Although the Five Elements Sect did not have a deep foundation, its ancestor was the One Yuan True Lord after all.

When the Hunyuan Patriarch was in the Five Emperors Mountain, although he was not allowed to view the skills inheritance of the One Yuan Dao Palace, there was no restriction on those miscellaneous books on local customs and people.

Among them was the fourth generation palace master of the One Yuan Dao Palace, who recorded the grand occasion of the ascension of the One Yuan True Lord.

The same colorful rays of light, the same spiritual light of ascension.

The news of Yuan Qingque's practice of emptiness made Chen Mobai feel relieved.

At least there is no need to worry about the battle between good and evil.

If Yuan Qingque cannot completely solve the evil after practicing emptiness, Chen Mobai feels that he is a bit unworthy of the name of the first cultivator in Dongzhou.

After the aura of ascension disappeared, Chen Mobai immediately called Chu Zuoshu and Yue Zutao over and asked them to go and find out the situation outside at all costs.

The Five Elements Chamber of Commerce has many partners outside the East Wilderness, and these are all contacted by Chu Zuoshu and his apprentice.

Even Shen Shanqing from Tiancanlou was invited by Chen Mobai.

Tiancanlou is worthy of being a specialized intelligence seller, and it actually has first-hand information.

It’s not that Yuan Qingque Lianxu killed the three gods of the Demonic Path, but now on the border between Dongtu and Dongli, the Demonic Path has been defeated. Under the leadership of Xuande Daozi of Daode Sect, the righteous path of Dongzhou has chased and killed into the territory of Dongli.

On the side of the Demonic Path, many large sects have had their mountain gates breached.

It seems that they have lost the will to resist and directly gave up half of Dongli.

"Master Chen, I'm afraid it won't be long before Dongli will be included in our righteous territory."

When Shen Shanqing said this news, his face was full of joy.

In Dongli, there are various sects of the Dongzhou Demonic Path. For tens of thousands of years, the Dongtu Holy Land has wanted to eradicate the Demonic Path and take down Dongli.

When he was in the Dongtu Imperial Court, the Human Emperor did this.

After the Dongtu Imperial Court fell apart, the Dongzhou Righteous Path pushed the battle line into the Dongli territory at most, and never had such a brilliant record as now.

"Thank you for your hard work, Chef Shen. If you have any information in the future, please pass it to my sect as soon as possible."

After Chen Mobai learned about the situation on the front line of Dongtu, he politely sent Shen Shanqing out of the Beiyuan City Hall in person.

At this time, Liu Wenbai hurriedly flew over and handed him a message talisman.

"Master, a letter from Dongtu!"

Shen Shanqing, who was beside him, stopped when he heard this.

After Chen Mobai took it, he found that it was from Ye Qing.

He glanced at Shen Shanqing, who immediately said goodbye tactfully.

The content of Ye Qing's letter just filled in the part that Tiancanlou didn't know.

He had reminded Chen Mobai tactfully before because the matter of Yuan Qingque's practice of emptiness could not be leaked, lest the three gods escape after the demons knew about it.

In that case, even if Yuan Qingque practiced emptiness, at most one of them would be hunted down and killed, and he would have to ascend.

After all, things like the message talisman could be intercepted by others.

Now that the overall situation has been decided, Ye Qing directly told Chen Mobai everything.

Among them, what made Chen Mobai the happiest, in addition to the death of the three gods of the demons, was that the demon lord in the Tongtian Refining Dao Tower was also taken away by Yuan Qingque.

Although the demon beasts that entered the Tongtian Refining Dao Tower for tens of thousands of years have never escaped, the demon lord is a true spirit of transformation after all, the top existence in the Tianhe Realm.

As long as it is not dead, Chen Mobai, who buried millions of demons in the Desolate Sea and killed the five demon kings of Wanxian Island, can't rest easy.

"Good riddance! It would have been better if he had died in the ascension tribulation!"

After reading Ye Qing's letter, Chen Mobai couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Pass my order, Five Elements Sect disciples, get ready!"

After putting away the message talisman in his hand, Chen Mobai called E Yun over again.

Now that the three gods of the Demonic Path are dead and the Black Dragon King Court has retreated, some of the monsters in the wasteland are still confused and wandering outside the East Wasteland.

Among them, in addition to the Golden Flame Suanni who only cared about escaping, the monsters in the wasteland were originally not under a leadership and were very scattered.

Some of the smart ones had already led their tribes back into the wasteland when the Golden Flame Suanni retreated, and even went deeper than before to avoid the subsequent pursuit of the human cultivators.

Without the threat of the True Spirit, Chen Mobai led the Five Elements Sect and could kill all the monsters in the ruins outside Beiyuan City.

Under his order, the Five Elements Sect army assembled in the shortest possible time.

Mo Douguang could not come because he was in Fengyu Fairy City.

But Chen Mobai still had Zhou Ye to command.

Two complete Five Elements Taoist battle formations rose outside Beiyuan City. Ten huge Taoist soldiers, like gods descending from heaven, drove the vast vitality of heaven and earth and headed towards the ruins.

Wherever they passed, the earth shook.

…

Tongtian Refining Dao Tower, the third floor.

The Heavenly Demon Saint Embryo, who was closing his eyes to comprehend the skills taught by the Demon Lord, suddenly had a crystal scale on his brow.

Then its expression suddenly twisted, and a wisp of cold breath emanated from its body.

Its strange situation also attracted the attention of other demon beasts with true spirit blood in the third layer.

Some of them had a great hatred for the Heavenly Demon Saint Embryo. Seeing that it was about to die, they couldn't help but attack from the darkness, with sharp claws and teeth shining, and fell on the vital parts of the Heavenly Demon Saint Embryo such as the neck and heart.

However, a white light surged from the whole body of the Heavenly Demon Saint Embryo, and in an instant, the two demon beasts that attacked were frozen into ice sculptures.

With a crackling sound, they turned into pieces of meat and fell to the ground.
