The ascension tribulation, a boon from the Heavenly Dao for transcendent beings.
Utilizing the power of heaven and earth, it refines cultivators who have reached the pinnacle of their path, and within extreme destruction, it also contains the power of rebirth.
The intensity of the tribulation varies, and the immortal essence that cultivators transform into after enduring it will naturally differ.
Thus, after the long development of spiritual energy civilization, there were even cultivators who, in pursuit of greater power, deliberately sought out more formidable ascension tribulations.
However, after countless bitter lessons, most cultivators at the limit of their paths, save for a select few prodigies, completely abandoned the idea of ascending to immortality.
After all, since the ascension tribulation is named as such, how could it be a gentle existence?
Even with perfect preparation, cultivators still trembled and walked on thin ice before the tribulation!
In the end, how could a mere cultivator contend with the might of heaven and earth?
Even a naturally born True Dragon, the most noble among all beasts, must take another step beyond the extreme to survive the True Dragon Tribulation.
Otherwise, under the ninety-nine layers of lightning tribulations, even a True Dragon's body would turn to ashes.
In fact, after breaking through eighty-eight layers of lightning tribulations, Linglong had already reached the standard for a normal True Dragon Tribulation.
But unfortunately, the Dragon Princess, whose memory was sealed, never considered how ordinary the other half of her daughter's bloodline could be.
After all, that organization actually attempted to artificially create a supreme immortal fetus of human-dragon hybrid. How could the human blood that matched the True Dragon's blood be inferior?
The divine sword in the sky was the manifestation of the supreme tribulation of the Human Supreme Body. If the Dragon Princess were awake, she would have guessed that the other half of Linglong's human bloodline was the Supreme Blood!
Therefore, this tribulation was not a True Dragon Tribulation! It was the True Dragon Supreme Tribulation!
Few in the mortal realm could survive this tribulation!
Yet, an anomaly appeared in this world.
With golden eyes, he calmly gazed at the restless divine sword in his hand.
Compared to the terrifying divine sword, ten thousand feet in size, the young man suspended in the air was so small.
But the small youth held the sword of the heavens with just one hand!
"This tribulation! Disperse!"
With a forceful wave of the hand holding the divine sword, spiritual patterns flickered and died, and immense spiritual energy surged from the youth's body.
With a turn of his hand, miniature formations materialized in his palm:
"Dao Protecting Art! Sun and Moon in the Palm!"
Boom!!!
The small youth merely waved his hand, empowered by ten thousand layers of formations, possessing the might to pluck stars and seize the moon!
The ten-thousand-foot giant sword in the sky let out a mournful cry and, trembling, flew backward towards the dark heavens!
Linglong, who had been teleported out of the arena by the Seven-Day Technique, was anxiously trying to help her mother up and check her condition.
But upon seeing this scene, she couldn't help but gasp, her entire being frozen as if she had seen a ghost.
This divine sword, capable of effortlessly slaying her, was now being sent flying by her master with a single hand?
Although her mother had said her master was incredibly powerful, was this not excessively powerful?!
*Crack!*
Linglong, stunned, subconsciously released her grip, and the half-supported Dragon Princess fell back onto the cloud bed.
The impact, however, caused the unconscious Dragon Princess to regain consciousness.
Her soul receded once more, but subconsciously, she again overlooked those issues.
The True Dragon's powerful physique allowed the Dragon Princess to sit up the moment she awoke.
Seeing Linglong by her side, a flicker of realization crossed the Dragon Princess's eyes, and she quickly looked around.
And when she saw the divine sword, which was shattering inch by inch after being struck, her pupils contracted slightly:
"Dragon Slaying Sword?! Dao Soldier Manifestation!! This is the Supreme Tribulation!!!"
,,,,
The moment the ten-thousand-foot divine sword was sent flying by the power of plucking stars and seizing the moon, the terrifying force caused the lightning composing the sword to completely collapse.
In the blink of an eye, this ten-thousand-foot Dragon Slaying Sword transformed into countless shattered bolts of lightning, re-integrating into the vortex of thunderclouds in the sky.
But after this wave of tribulation was repelled, the heavens did not descend new lightning for a long time.
Chen Luo, however, stood tall with his hands behind his back between heaven and earth, his eyes calmly gazing upwards at the firmament.
In his eyes, at every moment, countless spiritual patterns flickered and died within this thundercloud.
This tribulation, for ordinary tribulation-crossers, was a test, a transformation.
But for Chen Luo, it was the best classroom for learning about the world!
"Mom... Master is so strong!!" Linglong exclaimed subconsciously, looking at the awakened Dragon Princess beside her.
The Dragon Princess nodded gently, "A Grandmaster of one Dao is enough to roam the primordial land, but he is a Grandmaster proficient in all five Dao Protecting Arts. Even this mutated Supreme Tribulation will likely be no match for him!"
Speaking of which, the Dragon Princess sighed, "I didn't expect the True Dragon Tribulation to transform into the Supreme Tribulation after mutation. But it's not surprising, among the ascension tribulations, only a limited few are stronger than the True Dragon Tribulation."
"A True Dragon crossing ninety-nine layers of lightning becomes an Immortal Dragon; a Supreme being battles ancient Dao Soldiers to prove their invincibility!"
"Linglong, watch carefully! Your master might be the strongest Dao cultivator in this world, past and present!"
Linglong, however, was slightly taken aback, "Mom? You said this is a mutated Supreme Tribulation?"
"That's not right! After I broke through the lightning, the tribulation clouds in the sky evolved into a divine sword on their own. Master hadn't made a move then!"
Hearing this, the Dragon Princess's expression changed, and her thoughts raced!
The many suppressed thoughts in her subconscious now connected completely. Because of the hidden measures taken when her memory was erased, the Dragon Princess had subconsciously overlooked Linglong's human bloodline.
Now that she thought about it, what bloodline could suppress the power of the True Dragon's blood, preventing Linglong from manifesting her True Dragon form, if not the most resolute and powerful Supreme Blood!
"So Linglong's original tribulation was the True Dragon Supreme Tribulation, which only appears in myths? According to legend, it should be eighty-eight layers of lightning tribulations, the ten great Dao Soldier tribulations of ancient and modern times, and the unknown ninety-ninth tribulation?!"
"No! No! Master used the Heaven-Deceiving Technique!"
"The power of this tribulation must have skyrocketed!"
"So, can this still be a tribulation that Dao cultivators can overcome?"
The Dragon Princess looked at the thundercloud vortex in the sky, which had been silent for a long time, with horror.
Ever since Chen Luo shattered the Dragon Slaying Sword formed by the lightning tribulation, the swirling dark clouds and lightning had fallen into an eerie silence.
The dark clouds spun silently, and countless rivers of lightning flashed, converging towards a deep black center.
The moment the Dragon Princess looked up again, the dark cloud vortex, which already covered half the sky, suddenly began to swell!!
An indescribable, majestic will, even in its slumber, instinctively poured more power into this area.
And in just a moment, this boundless sea, capable of sinking several great stars, was completely enveloped by the dense dark clouds.
