Chapter 3431 Yuan Zun’s Strength

Elsewhere,

in the Yuan clan’s ancestral land,

Yuan Zun tore through the void with a single step, instantly heading towards the Thirty-Two Prefectures of the Thousand Demon Realm.

He chose not to journey to the Primal Chaos Realm to undergo the tribulation, but rather to undergo it within the Immortal Realm.

Other cultivators saw no fault in this approach.

While   most

Immortal Emperor tribulations are typically experienced in the Primal Chaos Realm,   that’s because they are so ferocious. If they were to be experienced within the Immortal Realm, they would easily ripple through vast territories spanning billions of miles, causing countless casualties.   But this was different.   The Thirty-Two Prefectures had been through the slaughter, and no other cultivators existed.   Transmigration here meant no worries.   ”Immortal Emperor Tribulation!”   Yuan Zun, within the Silent Prefecture, stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the tribulation clouds in the sky, his golden eyes brimming with fighting intent.   As if sensing something, the clouds, covering billions of miles of the void, suddenly shifted, and a terrifying thunderbolt struck down.   This thunderbolt was so massive and terrifying that it completely enveloped the entire prefecture.   Faced with such power, Yuan Zun let out a long roar. Without any unnecessary movement, he thrust his right fist forward, colliding with the thunder tribulation.   ”Boom!”   The thunder tribulation exploded, and a raging lightning spread throughout the sky.   The skin on Yuan Zun’s fist cracked, but no blood flowed, and it healed completely in an instant.   ”Today, this emperor will use the Immortal Emperor Tribulation to fully develop the Heavenly Demon Battle Body!”   He took a step forward and charged towards the tribulation cloud. The terrifying power of his Qi and Blood shook the heavens, causing many cultivators to shudder.   Ji Yang, observing the figure engaged in battle with the thunder tribulation, took on a rare solemn expression.   ”His Qi and Blood are as vigorous as the abyss, and his body is also formidable. Ordinary Immortal Emperor Tribulations pose no threat to him!”   These words hinted at his recognition of Yuan Zun’s abilities.   In the Ancient Immortal Realm,   Ji Yang knew few could rival him.   Even the so-called invincible Ancient Immortals seemed mere figments of their trade to him.   However.   Watching Yuan Zun’s tribulation, Ji Yang sensed a subtle threat from him.   While not overwhelming, it was enough to demonstrate Yuan Zun’s extraordinary stature.   After all, in the Ancient Immortal Realm, only a few could truly achieve this level.   Of course,   Ji Yang’s cultivation level also factored in. He was   at the late stage of Ancient Immortal!   Compared to a Half-Step Immortal Emperor, he still had some distance to go.   Regardless, at his current level, Yuan Zun could still strike a threatening chord, and Ji Yang held him in high regard.   Shen Changqing remained silent, silently watching Yuan Zun’s tribulation.   The aura emanating from him was powerful, far stronger than before.   Furthermore   , Shen Changqing sensed a different kind of strength within Yuan Zun.   This strength,   born from the blood of the Fighting Emperor, seemed even more powerful than that.   As Shen Changqing reflected on this thought, the momentum of Yuan Zun’s tribulation had grown even greater.   Each thunderbolt that struck him failed to shake him in the slightest.   Furthermore,   As time passed, Yuan Zun’s aura gradually grew deeper and more terrifying.   An unknown amount of time passed.   As Yuan Zun shattered yet another thunder tribulation, using his physical strength to absorb the dissipated force, his body suddenly shook, and a domineering, ancient aura erupted.   ”Boom!”   Vast, abyssal Qi and blood power, like a glorious sun illuminating the heavens and earth.   At that moment,   Yuan Zun’s body seemed to undergo a drastic transformation.   ”Kill!”   He roared, and with a sudden, powerful punch, all the thunder tribulations shattered, bringing with them the vast tribulation clouds, which were shattered and annihilated by the force of this blow.   A Heavenly Demon Battle Body!   Perfection!   However,   as the tribulation clouds were shattered, the expected Immortal Emperor vision did not materialize. Instead, the cultivators throughout the Thousand Demon Territory felt a sense of gloom, as if something terrible was about to happen.   Suddenly,   the dissipated tribulation clouds coalesced once more, surging violently in purple, emitting an aura far more terrifying than before.   Upon seeing these calamity clouds appear, many cultivators expressed surprise and confusion.   ”The Immortal Emperor Tribulation clearly dissipated, so why is it reappearing?”   ”I think I’ve heard of this before—”   These cultivators gazed at the purple calamity clouds, their faces filled with shock and confusion.   Elsewhere,   upon seeing the purple calamity clouds appear, Ji Yang’s expression was solemn, and he uttered a few words.   ”Eternal Heavenly Tribulation!”   He hadn’t expected   Yuan Zun to truly bring about an eternal heavenly tribulation.   To be more precise,   this should be called the Eternal Immortal Emperor Tribulation.   Even in his previous life, there were only a few geniuses truly capable of surviving the Eternal Immortal Emperor Tribulation. At least,   in   Ji Yang’s memory, there were definitely no more than a hundred such geniuses.   While a hundred may seem like a lot,   the important thing to understand is that   in his previous life, as an immortal being, Ji Yang had lived for countless years. In such a long time, fewer than a hundred people had survived the Eternal Immortal Emperor Tribulation, demonstrating how rare this kind of heavenly tribulation is.   Now.   The fact that an ancient immortal from a mid-level immortal realm could bring about the Eternal Immortal Emperor Tribulation naturally shocked him.   Even Shen Changqing’s face was filled with curiosity. Although   he had previously suspected that Yuan Zun might have endured the Eternal Immortal Emperor Tribulation, speculation was still speculation, and seeing it with one’s own eyes was naturally different.   Now,   the Eternal Heavenly Tribulation had appeared.   It was born from the shadow of an ancient powerful being.

“What’s so great about an eternal calamity? No one can stop me from achieving enlightenment!”

Yuan Zun’s eyes shone with fighting spirit. With a single thought, a blood-colored divine staff appeared from thin air. With a powerful blow, it shattered the void and charged towards the ancient phantom.

The latter waved his hand and brought down a palm, suppressing heaven and earth.

The two forces collided, unleashing a wave of devastating power.

Yuan Zun felt a surge of overwhelming force, but instead of fear, it ignited his fighting spirit.

Unleashing his fully developed Heavenly Demon War Body, he transformed into an ancient giant ape. The blood-colored divine staff, with the might to shatter heaven and earth, engaged the ancient phantom in a decisive battle.

Boom!   Rumble

!

A wave as powerful as the abyss erupted, shaking the entire Thousand Demon Territory violently.

In a matter of moments, the first ancient phantom was at a disadvantage.   Any being caught in the Eternal Heavenly Tribulation possesses strength exceeding the limits of their current realm, and the limit of all beings of the same realm since ancient times.   However, the problem lies in the   fact that what appears during the tribulation is merely a phantom. While inheriting a fraction of the power of past masters, it is ultimately not as powerful as the presence of a true being.   Of course,   even a fraction of that power is a nightmare for other cultivators of the same realm.   However, it is clear that Yuan Zun’s strength is not ordinary, especially after achieving the perfection of his Heavenly Demon Battle Body, which has further enhanced his power.   In less than half an hour,   Yuan Zun brutally slew the first phantom.   Soon after, as the first phantom vanished, a second appeared.   The intensity of the battle shocked all cultivators.   The Eternal Immortal Emperor Tribulation!   For most cultivators, it is rare to witness one in their entire lives.   In comparison,   the Eternal Immortal King Tribulation and the Eternal Ancient Immortal Tribulation occur slightly more frequently.   But the Eternal Immortal Emperor Tribulation is truly rare.   As Yuan Zun clashed with this ancient being, every ray of power he unleashed was terrifying.   Even Gu Qingyang and the others wore serious expressions.   ”The rumored Eternal Immortal Emperor Tribulation is truly extraordinary!”   This level of tribulation had truly transcended the realm of the Ancient Immortal, firmly entering the realm of the Immortal Emperor.   Although Gu Qingyang had played all his cards and was confident of a battle against the Immortal Emperor, Yuan Zun in this state still posed a significant threat to him.   However,   words aside,   Gu Qingyang remained fixed on the tribulation, never letting up.   The more he understood the power of the Eternal Immortal Emperor Tribulation, the more confident he would be in overcoming it in the future.   Both Gu Qingyang and Ye Yun were aiming for the Eternal Immortal Emperor Tribulation. As for Ji Yang’s words, he didn’t pay much attention.   To the latter, the Eternal Immortal Emperor Tribulation was no stranger.   He watched the battle within the tribulation for a moment, then shook his head.   ”If Yuan Zun doesn’t have another trump card, he’ll likely fail!”   Even with just the seventh phantom, Yuan Zun was already severely injured, his strength severely depleted.   At this rate, he could only hold out until the eighth phantom, and there was no guarantee he’d even see the ninth.   Shen Changqing remained silent, watching the tribulation unfold.   Just as Ji Yang had said,   as expected,   Yuan Zun’s chances of successfully surviving the tribulation were already low.   But until the dust settled, there was always a certain uncertainty.   In the void,   Yuan Zun’s chest was severely wounded, but the blood-red divine staff also fell heavily, slaying the seventh phantom instantly.   After slaying it, the ancient Yuan clan’s great elder’s chest heaved violently, and his wounds healed much more slowly.   Yuan Zun took a pill, which alleviated his injuries considerably. He then gazed towards the tribulation cloud, his right hand, bloodstained, tightly gripping the divine staff.   ”Continue!”   He roared, launching his first attack on the calamity cloud. Like a terrifying stick shadow piercing through the heavens and earth, it struck with utter destructive force.   The next moment,   the calamity cloud trembled,   and another ancient phantom emerged. As   soon as the two sides met, a fierce battle ensued.   An hour later,   the eighth phantom vanished.   But Yuan Zun’s injuries were only worsening. His flesh was shattered, and his blood-stained celestial bones were exposed to the air, demonstrating the ferocity of the battle.   Even so ,   Yuan Zun did not retreat a single step.   At this moment, the calamity cloud surged, and another figure emerged from the heavenly calamity.   With this figure’s appearance, an aura far more terrifying than that of the previous eight phantoms erupted, seemingly threatening to completely engulf the entire Thousand Demon Territory.   At that moment, Yuan Zun’s expression became unprecedentedly solemn.
