Chapter 414 - 394: The Might of Mahayana, Terrifying Beyond Compare!
Master Gu Ming understood.
This kind of transformation.
Is the benefit brought by the Celestial Tribulation.
Every time one can withstand a Celestial Tribulation, the self can be nourished by its power, aiding in one’s transformation.
When the Celestial Tribulation truly dissipates, the transformation will be complete.
Because of this.
Cultivators can step into a higher realm.
At this moment.
The shattered protective array rose again.
To ensure absolute certainty, Master Gu Ming had already set up a Ninth Layer Array in the forbidden area behind the mountain, each array being of pinnacle eighth-level quality, capable of withstanding attacks from those who have achieved Tribulation Completion.
As long as the array patterns remained unbroken, even if the protective shield shattered temporarily, Master Gu Ming could use methods to repair it.
Soon.
The second Celestial Tribulation descended.
Boom!
Rumble!
The Celestial Tribulation continued to strike down, and when the entirety of the First One-Nine Celestial Tribulation was exhausted, the nine arrays barely held.
But when the Twenty-Nine Celestial Tribulation arrived, just a single thunderbolt instantly broke through the Ninth Layer Array, with the array patterns of the first three layers directly shattered, impossible to repair.
Seeing this scene.
Master Gu Ming’s expression became extremely solemn.
The terror of the Mahayana Celestial Tribulation was exactly as he had expected.
Even arrays that could withstand the attack from those who have achieved Tribulation Completion were insignificant before a Mahayana Celestial Tribulation.
However.
Master Gu Ming still did not truly take action.
Even when replenishing the spiritual power depleted by repairing the arrays, he immediately refined spirit stones to compensate.
At the same time.
He quietly refined the power dissipating from the Celestial Tribulation, causing a subtle transformation within himself, gradually moving away from Tribulation Completion towards the Mahayana Stage.
Master Gu Ming’s purpose was simple: to accumulate strength and act when the Celestial Tribulation reached its most severe point.
The earlier Celestial Tribulations were nothing significant.
The truly terrifying and deadly tribulation was yet to come.
...
The Celestial Tribulation was vast.
The entire Taiyuan Realm seemed to be enveloped by the power of the Celestial Tribulation.
The eyes of the Righteous and Demon Dao were all fixed on the Immortal King Sect and the Celestial Demon Sacred Land.
Everyone understood.
Whoever succeeded in transcending the tribulation would completely alter the power dynamics of the Taiyuan Realm.
Gu Qingyang was also watching both tribulations.
If the two were compared.
The Celestial Tribulation of the Immortal King Sect was evidently much easier than the Blood Transformation Demon Sect’s tribulation.
After all.
The Immortal King Sect faced a normal Mahayana Celestial Tribulation.
The Blood Transformation Demon Sect faced Celestial Punishment.
At this moment.
The overwhelming Celestial Tribulation struck down, the blood-colored thunder containing an aura of destruction, causing the void to shatter and tremble, while the once high-spirited Blood Transformation Ancestor was now in a sorry state.
His robes were torn.
His physical body shattered.
With disheveled hair and a face covered in blood and grime.
He gazed at the blood-colored tribulation, eyes full of defiance and arrogance.
"Even if the Heavenly Dao cannot take my life, what is Celestial Punishment to me? My fate is mine to control, not the heavens. Today, I defy the heavens to change my fate and prove the Mahayana Dao!"
The Blood Transformation Ancestor roared.
With these words.
The Celestial Tribulation seemed to be provoked, the blood cloud roiled, and terrifying thunder struck down once more.
The Blood Transformation Ancestor transformed into a Celestial Demon, the overwhelming demonic energy pervading the void, as a majestic figure emerged from the demonic energy to attack the tribulation.
The two forces collided.
The demonic energy scattered.
The scale armor on the Blood Transformation Ancestor shattered, and he spat blood again.
A normal Mahayana Celestial Tribulation was already terrifying enough, but now that it had escalated to Celestial Punishment, its power was astonishingly great.
The very existence of Celestial Punishment is to annihilate those cultivators who defy the Heavenly Dao, naturally leaving no chance for ordinary cultivators to survive.
Therefore.
Truly transcending the Celestial Tribulation was no ordinary difficulty.
However.
The Blood Transformation Ancestor was well-prepared.
At the moment he was injured, he immediately refined a prepared Blood Pill, the pure essence blood continuously repairing his injuries, allowing him to restore eighty percent of his peak strength in an instant.
"Today, I defy the heavens to change my fate!"
"Even if it is Celestial Punishment, what can it do against me!"
The Blood Transformation Ancestor stepped into the void, the power of the Celestial Demon shaking the four directions, having prepared many Blood Pills just for this moment.
Seeing the imposing manner of the Blood Transformation Ancestor, the observers of the tribulation from the shadows were inwardly shaken.
Shangguan Potian’s expression was grim: "The Blood Transformation Ancestor’s foundation is incredibly deep. Even Celestial Punishment cannot harm him. It seems that in our past battle, he did not use his full strength!"
Recalling the past battle, Shangguan Potian’s expression grew uglier.
The power of Celestial Punishment today gave Shangguan Potian a sense of death. If Celestial Punishment targeted him, he was not confident he could withstand any of its blows.
Shangguan Potian had thought the Blood Transformation Ancestor would certainly perish, but now it seems Celestial Punishment might not claim his life.
Thinking of a role reversal.
If such a terrifying Celestial Punishment couldn’t kill the Blood Transformation Ancestor, then his success in transcending the tribulation would mean his power would be unimaginably terrifying.
Shangguan Potian understood.
If the Blood Transformation Ancestor succeeded in transcending the tribulation.
The future dominance of the Demon Dao would indeed be in his hands.
"The one from Immortal King Sect is also crossing the tribulation. Now it is to see who will succeed. In an era, having one succeed in the Mahayana Stage is already difficult; if two emerge simultaneously, it signals the advent of a time of great contention.
If a time of great contention truly arrives, perhaps even I could glimpse the landscape of the Mahayana Stage!"
With this thought, Shangguan Potian’s heart was slightly excited.
Who doesn’t wish to reach the pinnacle of the Mahayana Stage?
If a time of great contention truly arrives, then I too might have a chance.
A time of great contention means opportunities abound, making cultivation much easier than before, the whole world entering a burst phase.
In such a great era, the number of strong individuals would increase significantly compared to usual times.
However.
A time of great contention also often represents a great calamity.
It is because Heaven and Earth perceive the arrival of a great calamity that a time of great contention appears.
While Shangguan Potian was contemplating this, the power of Celestial Punishment continued to strike down.
Time passed by little by little.
Before long.
The Celestial Punishment was nearing its end.
The Blood Transformation Ancestor, his aura weak and exhausted, swallowed the last Blood Pill, and his previously depleted power was reborn anew.
"Boom!"
A massive thunderbolt struck down, the Blood Transformation Ancestor’s eyes ablaze with battle intent, burning his essence blood and unleashing his strongest attack.
Crack—
The void shattered.
The devastating aftermath swept across the vast land.
The power of this strike was earth-shattering, causing even the blood-colored tribulation clouds to be scattered, followed by a majestic and terrifying aura, like mighty heavenly power, erupting from the Blood Transformation Demon Sect.
At this moment.
Celestial Scattering Golden Flowers.
Earth-Surging Golden Lotus.
Purple energy spanned ten thousand miles, as if Heaven and Earth were celebrating.
Seeing this scene, everyone understood that the Blood Transformation Ancestor had succeeded in transcending the tribulation.
Many strong individuals watching from the shadows quietly withdrew.
The Blood Transformation Ancestor succeeded in transcending the tribulation.
The first Mahayana Stage strong individual in this era of the Demon Dao appeared.
It is clear, without even thinking, that great changes will occur throughout Heaven and Earth.
"Mahayana Stage!"
The Blood Transformation Ancestor stood atop the ruins, having changed his tattered robes, and cleansed the blood and mess with his power.
A vast and boundless power nurtured from within his body, filling the Blood Transformation Ancestor with an unprecedented sense of might.
This is the power of the Mahayana Stage!
Completely incomparable to the Tribulation Stage.
The Blood Transformation Ancestor even had a premonition that slaying his former self at the Tribulation Stage would now take just a slap.
Without breaking through to the Mahayana Stage.
You can never understand the terror of the Mahayana Stage.
At the same time.
The Blood Transformation Ancestor truly understood why strong individuals at the Mahayana Stage could dominate an era and be revered as the ultimate pinnacle of their time.
Such power indeed qualifies one to be the supreme pinnacle of the era.
"Now that I have broken through to the Mahayana Stage, let’s see who in the world can stop me now!"
The Blood Transformation Ancestor laughed heartily, unleashing the full might of the Mahayana Stage, causing the void for thousands of miles to quake, and instilling terror in all cultivators and beings.
The might of the Mahayana Stage.
So terrifying!
