Cultivating To Immortality

"Th-this is a sign of Heavenly Tribulation? Could that Black Bear still be alive, and even breaking through his realm inside the tower?"

Phoenix Yang's expression was astonished, his face filled with disbelief.

He had thought the other party had long since died inside the tower, but the current anomaly clearly proved that the Black Bear was not only alive but was also about to step into a higher realm.

Almost simultaneously, the Phoenix Clan's Third Elder also appeared.

"Third Elder, what exactly is going on?"

Phoenix Yang asked, his heart filled with apprehension.

"He should be attempting to breakthrough to the Mahayana Realm," the Third Elder said, her expression still calm, her tone unwavering.

"Wh-what? Mahayana Realm?"

Phoenix Yang trembled, a monstrous wave of shock rising in his heart.

That Black Bear actually possessed such talent.

No wonder he was able to reach the fourth floor, his cultivation was actually so strong.

Some time ago, he had sent his subordinates to investigate the Black Bear Clan, but strangely, all the high-ranking members of the Black Bear Clan had mysteriously disappeared.

This matter remained unsolved, and now seeing this scene before him, Phoenix Yang's heart was full of doubts.

"Third Elder, it seems he must have obtained some opportunity on the fourth floor and then went into seclusion to refine it, which is why he has been reluctant to come out," Phoenix Yang said, unwilling to accept it.

The Third Elder smiled faintly, her expression composed.

"You should step back for now, lest he comes out and harms you."

"Third Elder, do you have the confidence to deal with him? Should we notify the other Elders to come along? That would be safer, just in case?" Phoenix Yang asked with concern.

"No need to worry. He is merely a Black Bear who has just advanced to Mahayana."

"If he is willing to sincerely submit, that would be for the best. If he is unwilling to submit, then today will be his death day."

The Third Elder's tone was cold, and her eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of sharp killing intent flashing within them.

"Yes." Phoenix Yang was immediately overjoyed upon hearing this.

With the Third Elder's cultivation at the Mahayana Middle Stage, dealing with a Black Bear who had just broken through to the Mahayana Early Stage should not be a big problem.

Subsequently, Phoenix Yang immediately flew away from the Myriad Beasts Tower. The clash between Mahayana powerhouses was definitely not something someone of his realm could approach.

Even if he was just grazed by the aftermath, he could die on the spot.

The demon cultivators watching below also sensed that the atmosphere was wrong; a killing intent permeated the air.

They looked at each other, and fear arose in their hearts simultaneously. Then they scattered, fleeing rapidly into the distance.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the Phoenix Clan was clearly about to make a move against the mysterious powerhouse inside the tower; staying here would only be courting death.

Rumble.

At this moment, the sky suddenly tore open, and a thick, incomparably powerful bolt of lightning struck down from the dark clouds, hitting the spire of the Myriad Beasts Tower.

In an instant, the entire Myriad Beasts Tower was engulfed in a blazing lightning glow, its body vibrating incessantly, and thunderous roars echoed in all directions.

During the process of advancing to Mahayana, one would inevitably encounter a minor Heavenly Tribulation, and Fang Hong was naturally no exception.

At this time, Fang Hong was still sitting cross-legged on the stone pillar in the center of the Spirit Cleansing Pool, his eyes closed, his expression solemn.

The heavenly lightning ignored the defensive restrictions on the outer layer of the Myriad Beasts Tower, directly passing through the void, descending from high in the sky, and striking Fang Hong's body.

Sizzle. Sizzle. Sizzle.

Light surged, and lightning fire entwined, Fang Hong's entire being swallowed by the dazzling lightning glow.

However, Fang Hong remained unmoving, still sitting steadily, without even the slightest change in his expression, as if these bolts of lightning were merely gentle breezes.

One after another, heavenly lightning bolts struck down, their power growing more ferocious each time, shaking the space within the tower.

Yet, these destructive lightning strikes, when they landed on Fang Hong's body, consistently failed to cause any substantial damage.

At this moment, Fang Hong slowly opened his eyes, the light in them flashing like explosive thunder.

His aura suddenly surged, and a sharp and domineering might instantly swept out.

Fang Hong merely raised his hand slightly, his fist shaking, and an extremely terrifying punch force passed through the Myriad Beasts Tower, roaring up into the sky, directly hitting the thunderclouds high above.

Bang.

A tremendous sound exploded between heaven and earth, and the dense tribulation clouds in the high sky were instantly forcibly dispersed by this punch, the lightning light and shadows completely vanishing without a trace!

The sky returned to calm.

Fang Hong's minor Heavenly Tribulation was thus easily overcome.

The entire process was effortless, with no pressure whatsoever; he barely expended any energy.

If one were to evaluate it, one could only say that Fang Hong's physical body was too powerful; this level of minor Heavenly Tribulation was merely like an itch to him.

"Finally, it's done."

Fang Hong stood up, his expression exhilarated, his heart surging with emotion.

After years of cultivation, he had finally reached this step; he was finally a Mahayana Cultivator.

At this moment, Fang Hong felt a surge of heroic spirit in his chest, and the heavens and earth seemed to tremble for him.

During this year, Fang Hong completely refined all the Origin Qi contained within the entire Spirit Cleansing Pool, and he ultimately broke through successfully, reaching the Mahayana Early Stage.

Fang Hong clenched his fists, his entire body's magical power surging like a mighty river flowing endlessly.

The Ten Thousand Laws Origin Demon Art he cultivated had also reached the tenth realm.

At this moment, the Dharma Lotus within Fang Hong's body fully bloomed, its petals radiating brilliant light, illuminating his limbs and bones.

Even more astonishing was that on the blooming Dharma Lotus leaves, faint traces of Law patterns had already subtly appeared.

There were fire, thunder, demonic power, and so on, various profound forces intertwined within, containing all Laws and encompassing everything.

Once one's cultivation reached the Mahayana realm, one could roughly mobilize a trace of Law power.

Every move could carry the power of Law, increasing the might of Divine Power exponentially, far beyond what was possible in previous realms.

Little Rainbow also sensed her master's breakthrough; she excitedly circled in mid-air, her colorful wings dancing lightly, emitting crisp chirping sounds, overflowing with joy.

Fang Hong looked at her, a smile appearing on his face.

He waved his hand, and a light screen appeared in the void, clearly showing the scene outside the tower.

"A Mahayana Middle Stage Phoenix? That's quite interesting." Fang Hong's eyes flickered as he clearly saw the figure of the Phoenix Clan's Third Elder.

A meaningful smile played on Fang Hong's lips, and a scheme was already brewing in his mind.

With a thought, Fang Hong immediately cast the Transformation Technique. His body rapidly changed in a flash of light, reverting to the appearance of the Black Bear demon cultivator.

Immediately after, with a flash of his figure, Fang Hong appeared outside the Myriad Beasts Tower.

Fang Hong casually raised his arm, and the massive Myriad Beasts Tower instantly shrank, becoming the size of a palm, and was finally absorbed into his body.

"I never thought that the Black Bear Clan would have a master like you."

The Third Elder's eyes narrowed, her gaze carrying a hint of scrutiny and coldness as she looked Fang Hong up and down.

She directly asked, "What exactly did you obtain inside the tower?"
