Chapter 376: Heaven-Slaying Tribulation (More Updates, Please Subscribe)
“The mark of a Divine Transformation cultivator is to manipulate the spiritual power of heaven and earth!”

The spiritual power of heaven and earth is a more essential force than the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!

But how can one manipulate the spiritual power of heaven and earth?

Fang Xing now knew that it was the ‘fusion of the spirit and the heaven and earth’!
When the spirit of a cultivator merged with the heaven and earth, he could control the spiritual power of the heaven and earth within a thousand miles.

With just a single thought, he can decide the life or death of low-level cultivators!

At this moment, Fang Xing’s Nascent Soul heard the sound of nature, and the body of the Nascent Soul gradually became transparent, sublimating into a more mysterious “Primordial Spirit” that touched the essence of the Great Dao!
After the Nascent Soul was sublimated into the Primordial Spirit, Fang Xing even felt that many mysteries and laws between heaven and earth became extremely clear, and his heart was filled with a certain impulse.

I want to immerse myself in the laws of heaven and earth, and gradually get a glimpse of the great way… I don’t want to waste even a moment.

This is the ‘disaster of Taoism’!
When the primordial spirit is born close to the Tao and the spirit merges with the heaven and earth, it is as if the heaven and earth actively explain the laws and great ways to him.

It is easy to get lost in it, but how vast and magnificent is the universe?
If mountains, rivers and streams had thoughts, it might take dozens or even hundreds of years for a thought to work!

If it were this piece of heaven and earth, or this world, or this thought, it might take thousands or even millions of years!

If the soul is immersed in the sound of the great way of “Soul Fusion into Heaven and Earth”, tens of millions of years may pass in the blink of an eye, and then the cultivator’s life span will come to an end, and he will die directly…

“fire……”

After Fang Xing’s Nascent Soul was transformed into a Primordial Spirit, the first thing he sensed was the extremely clear Law of Fire!
Although it was not as good as directly comprehending the ‘Fire God Pillar’.

But in terms of the clarity of the Law of Fire, he even felt as if he had swallowed a ‘Flame Heart Fruit’ that increased his affinity with the Law!
‘So… is this the secret of the Divine Transformation cultivator?’

“The immortal spirit is born with a natural affinity for the Dao. Once cultivated, it can greatly increase one’s understanding of the laws… Of course, in the world of cultivating immortals, it means increasing one’s affinity with the Dao. In fact, it’s the same thing…”

A thought emerged in Fang Xing’s mind.

In the main universe and the world of immortal cultivation, he did not find any rare objects similar to the “Flame Heart Fruit”.

But now I find that it is no longer necessary.

As long as one breaks through to a great realm of immortality, it seems that one will actively increase the “affinity between heaven and earth”, and the effect is better than swallowing the “Flame Heart Fruit”.

Because what increases is the affinity with all laws!

“Fire…wood, water, earth, metal…”

‘The Law of the Five Elements…is based on the Law of Space.’

“The laws of heaven and earth are not isolated, but mutually influential and harmonious…”

“The void is the foundation of everything…”

‘No wonder that as long as the Divine Transformation cultivators practice the Refining Void inheritance, they may be able to master a trace of the power of the void…’

Fang Xing suddenly realized.

There is the spatial affinity provided by the immortal spirit, plus the description of the way of the void in the inheritance of refining the void.

Not to mention that even pigs can get started, but cultivators who can cultivate to the Spirit Transformation Stage must have genius-level aptitude and comprehension. This means that they have a great chance of comprehending the essence of the void and mastering a trace of the power of the void.

‘Why didn’t my original body have so many insights when it transformed its martial arts soul into the immortal soul? Is it because I didn’t take the initiative to ‘melt the soul into the heaven and earth’? ‘

“No, it should be that I am a martial artist after all. The foundation of an Immortal Warrior is still a warrior… Therefore, even if I transform my spiritual power, I will not be able to obtain any essential improvement… “

‘The Immortal Cultivator’s clone is different. He is a pure Immortal Cultivator. Although it is dangerous when he breaks through a great realm, it also has its benefits! ‘

Fang Xing observed the world from the perspective of his soul and suddenly saw more differences.

In addition to the five elements, there are also wind, thunder, ice…

Life, death…

These laws are all based on space…

But all of these, added together and viewed as a whole, are only three-dimensional, like a dead, frozen world…

Only by feeling time, understanding that extremely obscure timeline, and peeking into the long river of time, can the originally stagnant space flow from three dimensions to four dimensions!

“Because I am still a citizen of the interstellar era, and I have the foundation to comprehend the law of fire, I can explain the nature of heaven and earth to this extent…”

“If it were any other cultivator, it would be great if they could sense the five elements a little bit. The best among them would probably be able to sense the power of the void, the river of time, and the like…”

‘This is a different worldview and a different expression, but the essence is still the same.’

‘Wait…what should I do?’

Fang Xing suddenly shuddered all over, as if he had fallen from the highest point, and he suddenly woke up: “I am still in the process of breaking through. I have not yet truly manipulated the spiritual power of heaven and earth, refined it into my body, and completed the breakthrough of the great realm… I have not yet sent my soul to the sword… What’s the point of blindly indulging in these laws? Given the profundity of the laws, even if I spend ten thousand or a hundred thousand years, I may not be able to fully comprehend a law, let alone the great way… But my body will die of old age.”

After all, he had experience in comprehending the laws of nature, immersed in it without being obsessed.

At this time, the deity’s consciousness reminded him again.

After just a slight struggle, he woke up from his previous comprehension of the laws, but still maintained the state of ‘the mind is integrated with heaven and earth’, trying to manipulate the spiritual power of the outside world.

The colorful spiritual energy lake became brighter and brighter, bursting with various colors of light, and began to fluctuate and flow…

Even a slight ripple that occasionally spread out and the spiritual pressure that spread out were enough to make Yuanying Zhenjun tremble with fear.

That is a great magical power that can easily destroy them!
‘The Yuanshen is invisible and intangible… The Divine Transformation cultivators do not have a Yuanying. If the Yuanshen in the body is dispersed, the magic power can be hidden to an unimaginable degree. Even the consciousness of the late Yuanying Great True Lord is difficult to detect the clues and can only be regarded as an ordinary person…’

Fang Xing tried out the characteristics of his soul and found that controlling the spiritual power of the outside world was not easy, but not particularly difficult either.

Because of the understanding of the law of fire, if you focus on the spiritual power of the fire element, it will be very simple. You can directly refine it into your body, and then use the power of the fire element to leverage the power of the other four elements, and then use the power of the five elements to leverage the spiritual power of heaven and earth…

As long as you try a few more times, you will definitely succeed!

Generally speaking, when a cultivator breaks through to this level, achieving spiritual enlightenment is a foregone conclusion.

However, for the Sword Master of the Spiritual Transformation, the most important step is still missing—the soul is entrusted to the flying sword!
In the quiet room.

Fang Xing’s immortal clone sat cross-legged, like a living dead.

A rotten iron sword of top spiritual power was suspended in front of him, casting a star-like radiance, like a dazzling galaxy.

This is the real body of the ‘rotten iron sword’, not some phantom.

At this time, with the help of the fusion of sword pill and sword infant, and long-term practice, Fang Xing’s soul had already established an unbreakable connection with the rotten iron sword.

Following this mysterious connection, Fang Xing’s soul wrapped around the rotten iron sword, and then… he felt the rotten iron sword breathing!

Not only was this flying sword breathing, consuming the best spirit stones and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it was also like a human body, with veins… and even a heart!
Fang Xing heard… the heartbeat of the rotten iron sword!
At this moment, he finally understood that after the nurturing of the Dan Po Ying, the rotten iron sword, this spiritual treasure, also had its own life!
Today, the rotten iron sword can even be seen as a human body, and even a “living dead” that is very compatible with his soul.

“Interesting… If my soul is placed in the flying sword, wouldn’t it become the sword spirit of a rotten iron sword?”

“No wonder my natal flying sword has no spirit. It turns out that I am the one…”

‘How come this path is somewhat similar to the ancient weapon repair?’

“The sword cultivator is so extreme, could he have gone astray?”

Fang Xing complained in his heart, but there was no way out now. His soul went directly into the rotten iron sword, becoming incredibly harmonious with it.

Then…

The rotten iron sword burst out with brilliant starlight, like a galaxy with twinkling stars in it, and suddenly rushed up to the sky!
…

“This step of attracting the spiritual power of heaven and earth is perfect…”

On Mingkun Island.

Even Lord Fire Dragon was forced to the ground by the growing spiritual pressure and looked up at the colorful lake.

“I have even… started trying to manipulate it, but for some reason I still can’t refine it into my body…”

He sighed.

As the successor of the Yuanshen Sword Sect, his vision and knowledge far exceed those of ordinary Yuanying Zhenjun, and he has also read the experiences of several Shenhua cultivators who have achieved breakthroughs.

Lord Fire Dragon certainly knew that there were too many Nascent Soul cultivators who had reached Perfection but failed at the stage of refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into their bodies.

The breakthrough of the Sword Master of the Spiritual Transformation has the additional step of embedding the soul into the sword, which makes it even more difficult.

Although the Yuanshen Sword Sect’s sword pills and sword infant techniques were designed to prepare for this final step, there were also many disciples who failed to break through in history.

The Lord of Mingkun Island… can he succeed?
Just as True Lord Huolong was worried, a dragon-like sword sound suddenly came from his body!
Not only him, but other True Lords who had reached the Jindan stage all pressed their hands on their Dantian, their faces slightly changing.

“The King of Swords emerges, and all the swords submit?”

“A fifth-level flying sword is about to be born!”

Lord Fire Dragon’s face suddenly lit up with joy.

Then…

Many cultivators on Mingkun Island saw a Milky Way rushing out from the depths of the island. It was deep and vast, with twinkling stars in it, just like the starry sky of the universe.

In the starry sky, a sword light swept across, absorbing all the spiritual power of the world in the colorful lake, and suddenly a roar sounded!
The flying sword of the top level of Lingbao, the Rotten Iron Sword, broke through the fifth level and became the treasure of the Yuanshen!

The flying sword roared, and instantly swallowed up the colorful spiritual power lake. Then, like a meteor, it fell into the cave, entered from the sky of Fang Xing’s immortal incarnation, and sat in his dantian.

Lines of refined spiritual power from heaven and earth emerged and flowed through the meridians throughout the body.

Fang Xing’s body instantly became somewhat transparent and somewhat fiery red… as if a piece of stubborn iron was being tempered!

“Transform into a god! Transform into a god!”

After repeating this nine times, he opened his eyes and knew that he had achieved a great breakthrough!

At this moment, the power of heaven in the outside world was awe-inspiring, and five-colored thunder was brewing. It was his divine tribulation!

“Theoretically speaking… the inner demon tribulation of the transformation into a god should have come by now. Inner demon, where is my inner demon?”

The Great Sun Seal between Fang Xing’s eyebrows slowly glowed with light, which fell one after another, illuminating his entire body, his sea of consciousness, and even the depths of his soul.

And then…there was nothing again!

“I didn’t get to see it again…”

“I still want to sharpen my weaknesses and swordsmanship…”

Fang Xing curled his lips, a rotten iron sword appeared in his hand, and he soared into the sky.

…

Near Mingkun Island, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was violent, and five-colored thunderbolts flashed wildly.

The terrifying power of heaven even made Lord Fire Dragon feel like a disaster was about to happen.

“The divine tribulation… the five elements thunder tribulation!”

He looked at the five-colored thunderbolt, his eyes showing both fear and expectation: “Master Uncle should be overcoming the calamity of the inner demon… The inner demon of the God Transformation is extremely powerful. It is said that even the Sword Master of the God Transformation can be affected… The inner demon is the biggest enemy of us cultivators!”

“To endure the five elements of thunder tribulation while under the influence of the inner demon is something that only a very wise and brave person can do!”

Swish!
Just as Master Fire Dragon was sighing, Fang Xing soared into the sky and casually swung his sword.

The rotten iron sword that had been promoted to the fifth level burst out with unimaginable bright starlight, like a galaxy of light, piercing straight into the thunderclouds.

Wherever the sword light reached, no matter what kind of five elements of thunder, it would quickly dissipate and be restored to the most basic spiritual energy of heaven and earth!

“One sword breaks all laws!”

Many of the Iron Sword Sect’s cultivators seemed to have seen the gods they had believed in for many years, their eyes full of longing and enthusiasm: “The fifth level of the sword path – breaking all laws! With one sword, no matter what kind of magical power, spell, magic weapon, talisman… all can be broken.”

“I didn’t expect… that even the Divine Transformation Tribulation could be broken?”

When they saw Fang Xing slashing the heavenly tribulation with one sword, they almost thought they had seen a myth!
At this moment, all the cultivators on Mingkun Island were madly worshipping the owner of Mingkun Island.

After all, which cultivator doesn’t know that immortal cultivators are most afraid of heavenly tribulations!
Before breaking through to a higher realm, they desperately collect various secret treasures for tribulations, or secret talismans that can weaken heavenly thunder.

For this, one is also willing to risk life and death.

When going through the heavenly tribulation, all kinds of methods are used, and as long as one can save a life, it is considered a victory.

He is nothing like Fang Xing, who, when he became a spirit, was so carefree and rushed straight into the heavenly tribulation!

What’s even more terrifying is… he actually dispelled the thunder tribulation with one sword!
How embarrassing it would be for those seniors who died in the thunder tribulation!
…

High in the sky, Fang Xing stood with a sword in his hand.

But the heavenly tribulation seems to be of this standard. No matter what means are used, once it is overcome, it is overcome. There is no such thing as being provoked and then having the force doubled.

The dark clouds gradually dissipated, the sky became clear and a breeze blew.

“Past?”

“Well, with my strength, it would be a joke if I were to be injured by the Divine Transformation Tribulation…”

Fang Xing transformed into a beam of light and returned to the cave.

Looking at the top-grade spirit stones that had lost all their luster and become dull beside his spirit eye, he lightly flicked his sleeves and collected them all.

Then, he began to sit cross-legged in meditation, silently sensing himself.

After a cultivator breaks through a major realm, he often needs some time to consolidate his cultivation, otherwise he is often in danger of falling back to a lower realm.

Fang Xing made sword gestures with his hands and silently recalled the “Lingkong Sword Sutra” that he had comprehended.

This sword manual is profound and extensive. If you do not already possess an immortal spirit and have a certain sensitivity to space, you may not be able to get started.

But when he was comprehending it, Fang Xing discovered that the golden characters that looked like dragons and phoenixes were not flat, but three-dimensional…

They combine with each other to explain the way of the void…
