Chapter 3787 The Twelve Heavens

The Immortal Emperor Tribulation!

One Hundred and Eight!

For ancient immortals, these one hundred and eight Immortal Emperor Tribulations were enough to be considered a near-death experience.

But for Ji Kong, the one hundred and eight Immortal Emperor Tribulations posed no threat whatsoever; not even his clothes were disheveled.

When the last tribulation descended, the entire tribulation cloud suddenly changed.

The heavy pressure made Ji Kong’s previously calm expression become much more solemn.

“The Eternal Heavenly Tribulation!”

He was not unfamiliar with this scene.

Millions of years ago, the Lingxiao Sword Sect also had a prodigy who attracted the Eternal Heavenly Tribulation.

But unfortunately,

that prodigy perished at the last moment at the hands of an ancient powerhouse, ending in failure to transcend the tribulation.

If the ordinary Immortal Emperor Tribulation was a near-death experience, then the Eternal Heavenly Tribulation was even more terrifying.

Even if Ji Kong had enough confidence, now that he was truly facing the Eternal Heavenly Tribulation, he still felt a faint pressure.

On the other side,

the other cultivators’ expressions also changed slightly upon seeing this scene.

“The Ancient Immortal Emperor Tribulation!”

“I never thought that after living for so many years, I would actually witness the appearance of the Ancient Immortal Emperor Tribulation!”

“It is said that the Ancient Immortal Emperor Tribulation is extremely difficult to overcome. Not even one out of a hundred geniuses who attract the Ancient Immortal Emperor Tribulation can successfully overcome it. I wonder if this one can succeed—”

“What a joke! How could a peerless genius who has reached the top of the Ancient Immortal Stele fail to overcome the Ancient Immortal Emperor Tribulation? If even such an existence cannot overcome it, then I suppose no other cultivator can!”

Many cultivators had heard of the terror of the Ancient Tribulation, but had never truly witnessed it. Now that they had actually witnessed such a tribulation, they were naturally greatly shocked.

Even many who had already stepped into the Immortal Emperor realm felt a strong threat when they sensed the aura of the Ancient Tribulation, and secretly broke out in a cold sweat.

For them, if they were to overcome such a tribulation themselves, it would be a certain death.

But for some ancient beings with more experience, they were extremely optimistic about Ji Kong.

In short…

The Ancient Immortal Emperor Tribulation is indeed terrifying, but it’s not a certain death sentence.

If even a prodigy who can ascend to the top of the Ancient Immortal Stele cannot overcome it, then who can?

Therefore, they had no doubt that Ji Kong could survive the Ancient Immortal Emperor Tribulation.

Indeed,

that was the case.

The nine illusory figures of the Ancient Tribulation were the nine most powerful ancient immortals who had undergone tribulations throughout history, as recorded by the Heavenly Dao.

If the top figure on the Ancient Immortal Stele was merely the strongest ancient immortal of a particular era, then the nine illusory figures of ancient immortals in the Ancient Immortal Emperor Tribulation were the nine most powerful ancient immortals of all time.

Throughout countless ages, ancient immortals have been as numerous as stars, but ultimately only nine could be included by the Heavenly Dao to become the test subjects of the Ancient Tribulation.

Each of these ancient immortals was unprecedented and unparalleled; at their peak, defeating an Immortal Emperor was effortless, and even many veteran Immortal Emperors found it difficult to contend with them.

Similarly,

ancient immortals of this level would become supreme powerhouses in the future.

Some had long since perished, buried by the river of time, while others had even survived to this day, overlooking all living beings throughout the ages.

If the nine illusory figures in the Ancient Immortal Emperor Tribulation were perfect replicas of the strength of the nine supreme ancient immortals, then no ancient immortal could have survived such a tribulation.

Almost all the immortal emperors in the entire Nine Heavens Immortal Realm would have been directly eliminated.

But the problem was that

the nine illusory figures recorded by the Heavenly Dao were merely a fraction of the power of the nine supreme ancient immortals of the past.

This power was still an insurmountable force for ordinary ancient immortals, but it was entirely different for someone of Ji Kong’s level.

…

As time passed,

the nine illusory figures appeared one by one, displaying overwhelming strength, but Ji Kong’s strength was clearly greater.

As a peerless genius who had reached the top of the Ancient Immortal Stele, he held nothing back when facing the nine supreme ancient immortals. He

unleashed numerous divine abilities, and the power he unleashed made many immortal emperors pale.

In the end,

the ancient illusory figures were suppressed.

As the last ancient phantom dissipated, an aura belonging to the Immortal Emperor realm, yet far stronger than that of ordinary Immortal Emperors, erupted from Ji Kong, spreading in all directions.

This aura was vast and powerful, causing many Immortal Emperors to feel pressure.

However,

this aura came quickly and disappeared just as fast.

Ji Kong took a step forward and instantly landed in front of Shen Changqing.

“Master!”

“Breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm, with future foundation-building, there is hope of reaching the Half-Saint realm in the next great tribulation!”

Shen Changqing smiled calmly, then asked,

“This time, both the Ancient Immortal Stele and the Eternal Heavenly Tribulation presented opportunities. I wonder what you gained?”

“Reporting to Master, this disciple was bestowed with an innate bloodline on the Ancient Immortal Stele. As for the Eternal Heavenly Tribulation, I did obtain a piece of innate refined gold!”

Ji Kong’s divine sense moved slightly, and a golden crystal appeared in his hand. This golden crystal contained extremely vast Daoist power and was filled with terrifying golden spiritual energy.

“Back then, my Immortal Body achieved minor success because Master Jiang found a great deal of Golden Spirit Qi from outside and had me refine it all.

Now, the Golden Spirit Qi contained in this Innate Refined Gold is more than a hundred times stronger than that Golden Spirit Qi.

If I can refine it all, I might be able to step into the Great Perfection of the Immortal Body!”   Ji Kong’s face was full of smiles

as he finished speaking .   To achieve Great Perfection of the Innate Golden Spirit Immortal Body, one must refine the Golden Spirit power of heaven and earth for one’s own use, gradually refining oneself and allowing the Immortal Body to transform.   However, this process is difficult and slow, and the required Golden Spirit Qi is astonishing.   Back then, Jiang Daoyuan not only used all the Golden Spirit Qi possessed by the First Peak for his own cultivation, but also spent millions of years collecting a large amount of Golden Spirit Qi, only then did his Innate Golden Spirit Immortal Body transform to the minor perfection stage.   This shows just   how difficult it is for the Innate Golden Spirit Immortal Body to transform.   According to Ji Kong’s thinking, if he were to cultivate step by step, refining the golden spiritual energy in the world, it would take at least a hundred billion years to reach the Great Completion Realm in one leap. He   could not attain immortality.

He had never achieved great success even if he persevered until his death.

But now it’s different.

Having survived the Ancient Immortal Emperor Tribulation, the Heavenly Dao bestowed upon him innate refined gold. The terrifyingly rich golden spiritual energy gave Ji Kong hope for achieving great success in his Immortal Body.

The golden spiritual energy contained in this treasure was more than a hundred times stronger than all the golden spiritual energy he had refined before.

If he could refine it all, the probability of breaking through would be considerable.

Shen Changqing nodded: “Achieving great success in your Immortal Body is of extraordinary significance. With your current cultivation level, if you can truly achieve this, you might even be qualified to compete with top Immortal Emperors.

In addition, with your innate bloodline, it seems that barring any unforeseen circumstances, your breakthrough to Half-Saint in the next Great Tribulation is inevitable!”

Originally, he thought that Ji Kong had at most a 60% chance of breaking through to Half-Saint in the next Great Tribulation.

But now, it seems that

even if the chance of his breakthrough is not 100%, it is at least 90%.

The advantage of the innate bloodline, although not as good as the innate Immortal Body, is still extraordinary.

However—

from Ji Kong’s words, Shen Changqing could also understand.

While achieving mastery of the Innate Golden Spirit Immortal Body under normal circumstances is difficult, it’s still much easier than mastering the Primordial Immortal Body. After all,

for Shen Changqing’s Primordial Immortal Body to reach mastery, he would need to bathe in the blood of other mastered immortal bodies or the blood of an innate bloodline.

However, the problem is that

mastered immortal bodies are rare,

and innate bloodlines are even scarcer.

To achieve mastery of the Primordial Immortal Body using conventional methods would take an unknown number of years.

It was only the opportunity on the Immortal Emperor’s Stele that allowed him to achieve it in one step.

Otherwise

, even after hundreds of billions of years, Shen Changqing wouldn’t be confident he could achieve mastery of his immortal body.

Afterwards,

Shen Changqing left with Ji Kong.

The latter had broken through to the Immortal Emperor realm, achieving his purpose for the trip, and there was no need for him to stay any longer.

The immortal energy in the Burial Immortal Continent was thin, making cultivation in such a place pointless. Moreover, the battle at Fallen Immortal City, which annihilated the Taiyun Alliance, while intimidating all sides, would inevitably cause some turmoil in the long run.

Considering all aspects, Shen Changqing naturally wouldn’t linger here.

However—

just as the two were about to leave the Burial Immortal Continent, a powerful figure finally couldn’t hold back and made a move.

Twelve beads pierced the air, instantly transforming into twelve universes that crushed layers of void, directly suppressing Shen Changqing.

This terrifying power caused the entire Myriad Immortal Domain to tremble.

Other ancient beings, seeing this, also had their pupils shrink sharply.

“The Twelve Heavens!”

“It’s the ancestor of the Heavens Alliance who made the move!!”

The Twelve Heavens!

Top-tier innate imperial weapons!

This was the symbol of the Heavens Alliance, and also the strongest method of that Heavens Alliance ancestor.

Over countless years, the Twelve Heavens had appeared only a handful of times, but each appearance was always accompanied by the bloodshed of a half-saint.

Now,

the Twelve Heavens reappeared, and their terrifying power naturally made them tremble.

“Master!”

Ji Kong’s expression changed drastically as he looked at the descending terrifying power.

His cultivation, which had just surged due to breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm, appeared weak and feeble in the face of such power.

Shen Changqing’s face was cold and stern, his eyes flashing with a chilling light: “Finally, I couldn’t hold back any longer!”

Seeing the Twelve Heavenly Realms descending, he made no unnecessary movements, directly summoning the Soul-Destroying Sword. All his power surged into this supreme treasure, and then he unleashed his strongest attack into the void.

“Boom—!!!”

The crimson sword light slashed out, and the twelve cosmic phantoms shattered like dry leaves. The twelve jade-like beads of primordial chaos couldn’t even withstand a single breath before exploding simultaneously.

The power of the crimson sword light continued unabated, splitting the entire sky in two. A middle-aged Taoist priest dressed in a Bagua robe was exposed in the void. Looking at the incoming sword strike, his composure vanished, replaced by utter horror.

He wanted to speak, but it was too late.

Finally,

the crimson sword light swept away the middle-aged Taoist priest completely.

“Boom!!”

The void exploded, and the illusory image of the Great Dao fell down. The terrifying power swept across the heavens and the earth, causing all the cultivators who witnessed this to be filled with fear.
