Chapter 4043: The Tribulation of Immortality

On this day,

the Crimson Jade Dao Palace shone brightly with immortal light, and a terrifying Daoist aura permeated the void, a vast pressure sweeping across the entire Divine Heaven Domain.

In that instant

, cultivators of all levels turned their gazes towards the Crimson Jade Dao Palace.

“Six thousand years! Finally, a cultivator is emerging from the Crimson Jade Dao Palace!”

“I want to see who dares to kill my sect’s holy son—”

One powerful figure after another appeared outside the Crimson Jade Dao Palace, staring intently at the ancient palace before them, their expressions varied.

Some cultivators were expectant, while others wore expressions of murderous intent.

Six thousand years had passed.

Although the Crimson Jade Dao Palace had remained completely silent

, every cultivator who could enter was a top genius of their respective factions, their soul lamps and life tablets already preserved.

If any genius perished, their faction would have already been informed.

Now,

they naturally demanded an explanation.

“Boom!”

The void trembled and distorted, and numerous figures emerged.

“Divine Heaven Domain!”

The moment Shen Changqing emerged from the Crimson Jade Palace, before he could even assess his surroundings, he directly triggered the Immortal Tribulation.

“Boom—”

In an instant, terrifying tribulation clouds suddenly gathered, and the expressions of all the cultivators who witnessed this scene changed drastically.

Many cultivators within the tribulation’s range felt the threat emanating from the power of the Heavenly Dao and hurriedly retreated, fearing they would be affected by the tribulation even slightly.

“Immortal Tribulation! Impossible! The Great Tribulation hasn’t even arrived yet, how could someone be seeking immortality?!” On

the Great Wilderness Immortal Court’s side, the Great Sage Zhu Cang’s face was filled with shock as he looked at the descending Immortal Tribulation, his eyes filled with disbelief.

But the next instant,

he clearly saw who was undergoing the tribulation.

“Shen Changqing, the Sword Master of the Profound Heaven! The one who is about to break through to the Half-Saint Realm is actually this person!!”

The Great Sage Zhu Cang’s expression changed again.

How could he be unfamiliar with Shen Changqing’s face?

Back then, this person stirred up a storm in the Divine Sun Domain, and even a royal ancestor of the Great Wilderness Immortal Court, a ninth-tribulation half-saint realm, perished at his hands.

The Great Sage Zhu Cang had seen Shen Changqing’s portrait countless times; he recognized the face of this Profound Heaven Sword Master at a glance.

Not only the Great Sage Zhu Cang noticed this, but the other powerful figures from the six sects, nine dynasties, and thirteen holy lands also recognized the identity of the person undergoing tribulation.

“Shen Changqing!”

“This person has actually reached this point—”

“To undergo the Longevity Tribulation in this era is probably unprecedented!”

“What kind of opportunity did this person obtain in the Crimson Jade Dao Palace to reach such a level in one step!”

The powerful figures were shocked, their eyes filled with surprise as they looked at Shen Changqing.

They couldn’t help but be shocked.

It was almost a consensus that

before the Great Tribulation arrived,

longevity would not manifest . Now, a cultivator had directly brought down the Longevity Tribulation; how could this not be alarming? But beyond the shock, what remained was an intense killing intent. A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the Great Sage Nanhua: “This child’s appearance here, and the subsequent descent of the Divine Tribulation of Immortality, if he truly succeeds in breaking through, will undoubtedly become a major threat to us. Furthermore, the battle in the Divine Sun Domain of the past brought shame upon our forces; today is the time for reckoning. Everyone, this child must not be allowed to live!” The Great Sage Nanhua’s words caused the other powerful figures from the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands to exchange glances, all seeing killing intent in their eyes. Face and reputation were secondary. But one thing was certain. The Great Sage Nanhua was right. This child must not be allowed to live. In the time it took for him to ascend to the Immortal King Era, he had already attracted the Divine Tribulation of Immortality; such talent was truly heaven-defying. More importantly, Shen Changqing’s attainment of Dao in this era was what truly shocked them. In the eyes of many powerful figures, in the ancient times, they had never heard of a cultivator who could attain Dao before the Great Tribulation. Such a method was unprecedented. How could such a prodigy be allowed to live? Not to mention the deep-seated grudges between the two sides, even without any grudges, they wouldn’t sit idly by and watch a prodigy rise to power. Prodigies not belonging to their faction are all on the kill list. However— the Longevity Tribulation has just appeared, and other cultivators dare not act rashly. Otherwise, once the tribulation notices them, divine punishment could descend at any moment. At that time, whether Shen Changqing lives or dies is uncertain, but they will definitely not survive. After all, under divine punishment, all beings are equal. No matter how powerful your cultivation, surviving under divine punishment is impossible. At least, that’s how it is for them. But just then, a cultivator from the Crimson Jade Dao Palace stepped into the air and arrived before the Great Sage Cang Cang, respectfully saying, “Reporting to the Cang King, the one who killed the Second Prince is the Xuan Tian Sword Master, Shen Changqing!” Upon hearing this, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted, causing the cultivator’s body to tremble violently, his blood surging, as if he couldn’t withstand such pressure. “King Cang—” the cultivator managed to speak, and only then did the Great Sage Zhu Cang conceal his aura, though his expression remained icy cold. “Shen Changqing, the Sword Master of Xuantian! This boy has already chosen his own death!” If Luo Jiuli had fallen at the hands of another supreme power’s prodigy, he wouldn’t have had to deal with it. But if he fell at Shen Changqing’s hands, then both old and new grudges would be settled. First there was the royal ancestor Luo Qingchen, and now there was the Second Prince Luo Jiuli! Such blood feuds could only be washed away with blood. Then, the Great Sage Zhu Cang looked at the cultivator before him, whose hesitant expression made him frown slightly.

“Speak, what else is there?”

“This matter concerns the Crimson Jade Dao Palace…”

The cultivator took a deep breath, no longer daring to conceal anything, and directly told everything.

After the other party finished speaking, the Great Sage Zhu Cang’s face also showed surprise.

“The Land of Chaos!”

“Two great chaos… So that’s how it is!!”

The Great Sage Zhu Cang took a deep breath. The moment he learned this information, his first reaction was to keep it a secret and then go back to report to the Heavenly Emperor for a decision.

However,

the Great Sage Zhu Cang quickly realized that

he didn’t seem to need to do so.

After all,

the cultivators who could survive the Crimson Jade Dao Palace were not only from the Great Wilderness Immortal Court, but also from other forces.

Therefore, such information was destined to be impossible to hide.

Sure enough,

as the Great Sage Zhu Cang’s divine sense swept over, he immediately heard a lot of information about the Land of Chaos, and some cultivators even left silently.

However,

he didn’t pay much attention to it.

What Land of Chaos!

What Crimson Jade Dao Palace!

Put them aside for now.

The real primary objective was to kill Shen Changqing.

After all, they had learned from that cultivator that Shen Changqing’s strength was far greater than during the battle in the Divine Sun Domain.

He had single-handedly swept through tens of thousands of Immortal Emperors from the outer domains.

Such strength was astonishing.

In the battle in the Divine Sun Domain, although Shen Changqing displayed even greater strength, even causing a Nine Tribulation Half-Saint to perish at his hands,

that was because he possessed a supreme treasure.

However, in the battle in the Chaotic Land, he swept through with absolute power, making the situation entirely different.

“Boom!”

Just as the Great Sage Zhu Cang’s thoughts settled, the tribulation clouds finally finished brewing, and blinding lightning tore through the void, crashing down fiercely.

The terrifying aura caused most cultivators to pale in horror.

In particular, many veteran Immortal Emperors trembled deeply as they watched the descending

Eternal Life Tribulation. Most Immortal Emperors had never truly witnessed the existence of the Eternal Life Tribulation.

Now, facing this heavenly tribulation head-on, he truly felt the terror of this level of tribulation.

However,

facing the descending lightning tribulation, Shen Changqing’s eyes concealed their divine light, and he suddenly punched out with his right fist, colliding with the thick lightning tribulation.

“Boom—”

A deafening sound rang out, and the lightning tribulation, enough to annihilate most top-tier Immortal Emperors, was directly shattered by Shen Changqing’s punch. The sky was filled with lightning, causing the surrounding tens of thousands of miles of void to turn into dust.

Looking at Shen Changqing’s right fist, there was not a single scratch left.

“The Longevity Divine Tribulation is nothing more than this!”

He smiled faintly.

The Longevity Divine Tribulation is very strong, but it is relative.

At least for him, this level of lightning tribulation poses little threat.

As if hearing Shen Changqing’s words, the tribulation clouds in the void suddenly trembled, and in the next instant, three lightning tribulations struck down simultaneously, determined to kill the person undergoing the tribulation on the spot.

In response.

Shen Changqing remained fearless, unleashing a punch that transformed the power of the Great Dao’s rules into a fist imprint that pierced through heaven and earth. The three lightning tribulations were utterly shattered and annihilated in a single exchange. The

Longevity Tribulation, which other Immortal Emperors feared, posed no threat whatsoever to Shen Changqing.

The other cultivators’ expressions shifted upon witnessing this.

“It seems the Longevity Tribulation poses no threat to this person!”

The Great Sage of Nanhua gave Shen Changqing a deep look, a barely perceptible hint of apprehension in his eyes.

Shen Changqing’s current strength was not worth his concern, but the opponent’s aptitude and potential made this ancient Great Sage of the Divine Sun Immortal Court secretly wary.

The Great Sage of Nanhua could see that

Shen Changqing’s physical cultivation had reached an astonishing level.

This level

was definitely not as simple as ordinary physical sainthood.

To withstand the Longevity Tribulation unscathed with one’s physical body was something even ordinary half-saints would find difficult.

Any cultivator attempting to transcend the Tribulation of Immortality would not do what Shen Changqing did, directly using their physical body. Most would rely on powerful treasures to withstand the lightning tribulation, thus succeeding.

For Shen Changqing to withstand the Tribulation of Immortality with his physical strength unscathed indicates that his physical power has at least reached the peak of the First Tribulation Half-Saint realm, or even the Second Tribulation Half-Saint realm.

More importantly,

the Great Sage of Nanhua could keenly perceive that Shen Changqing had never used his full power.

His physical energy was like a sleeping beast, not yet fully awakened.

This meant that

his strength was far greater than what he had imagined.

It was hard to imagine that in just tens of millions of years, his strength had advanced by leaps and bounds again.

Such rapid growth in talent was truly astonishing to the Great Sage of Nanhua.
