Chapter 661: Like a God or Immortal

Earlier, when the light of the Grand Dao fell like rain, the night was as bright as midday.

However, as dense layers of tribulation clouds blanketed the skies, darkness returned. Everything was dim and overcast.

A stifling, destructive aura filled the Sea of Chaotic Spirits, and it was continuously intensifying.

Everyone could tell that the imminent tribulation was sure to be extraordinary!

“When I stepped into the Spiritual Manifestation Realm, my Tribulation of Spiritual Manifestation was nowhere near this terrifying…”

Within the ruins of the Immortals’ Sword House, Ying Que gasped, his expression full of astonishment.

“How big of a disparity is there?” Yuan Heng couldn’t help but ask.

After a moment’s silence, Ying Que said seriously, “This tribulation has yet to descend, but judging from its aura alone, it’s thousands of times more intense than what I faced!”

The crowd was stunned.

Ying Que was a descendant of the black flood dragon lineage, and his talent and foundations were tyrannical. He far surpassed the world’s ordinary cultivators. action

Similarly, as a flood dragon, his Tribulation of Spiritual Manifestation was surely terrifying beyond imagination.

Yet now, he was saying that the aura of Su Yi’s tribulation was thousands of times greater than his!

Who wouldn’t have been surprised?

“Big Brother Su Yi will be just fine. I’m sure of it!” Wen Lingxue pursed her lips and said with assurance.

“That’s only natural. No power in this world can?stop Master!” Yuan Heng said without so much as pausing to think.

The others looked at each other in complete agreement.

…..

“What level of tribulation is this?”

Far away, over the distant surface of the ocean, an unkempt old Daoist flew through the air. When he saw the gathering tribulation clouds, he couldn’t help but cry out in alarm and astonishment.

He instinctively fled the affected stretch of ocean.

As Su Yi stood in the air, he noticed the unkempt old Daoist and recognized him at a glance. This was the same old pervert who’d tried to “play without paying” at the top brothel in Nine Tripod City, the Song of the Sandy Creek.

The old blind man had once warned him about the unkempt old Daoist’s suspicious origins. He called himself Ming Ya, the Netherworld Crow, and he emanated traces of the distinctive aura of the Sea of Bitterness. This led the old blind man to suspect he’d once ventured into the Sea of Bitterness, one of the most perilous places in the Netherworld.

Furthermore, the old blind man said that the slovenly old Daoist had once tried to use a treasure to determine Su Yi’s fate, only to fail. Worse, he ruined his treasure in the process.

None of that had particularly surprised Su Yi.

It was just that he hadn’t anticipated that the elderly, slovenly Daoist of suspicious origins would show up just as he was about to undergo tribulation.

“Are you here as a friend or as a foe?” Su Yi got straight to the point.

Over on the distant seas, the unkempt old Daoist hurriedly waved. “Fellow Daoist, please, focus on overcoming your tribulation. This old Daoist is absolutely not your enemy!”

“Oh?” said Su Yi before paying the man no further heed.

The unkempt old Daoist inwardly sighed in relief. He stared at Su Yi’s distant, upright figure in a daze, as if recalling something.

Boom!!

Suddenly, a crack of thunder rang out. It seemed to have accumulated power for a long time, and it shook the skies throughout a thousand-mile radius.

Above Su Yi, the depths of the silently accumulating tribulation clouds suddenly churned, interspersed with terrifying, intermittent flashes of electrical light.

Su Yi’s expression was calm as he sensed the destructive aura of the impending tribulation.

“Back in the Wilds, when Holy Maiden Yan Suni of the Nine Extremes Profound Capital proved her Dao and entered the Spiritual Manifestation Realm, she faced a tribulation of?nigh?unprecedented power. They said it was the strongest Tribulation of Spiritual Manifestation in thirty thousand years, and it terrified countless old fogies.

“However, it ultimately pales in comparison to the tribulation before me.

“Throughout the Wilds’ long history, there really haven’t been any Tribulations of Spiritual Manifestation comparable to this one.”

A faint smile tugged at Su Yi’s lips.

It was faint, but so radiant, so carefree, and so proud.

Only an unprecedented tribulation like this could satisfy him! This was what he’d reincarnated for!

Meanwhile, thunder boomed overhead, and the terrifying tribulation covering a thousand-mile radius finally began.

At that moment.

Every living thing in the vast Sea of Chaotic Spirits quivered in fear, and those on dry land flung themselves to the ground. They dared not utter even the slightest sound.

Even Ning Sihua and the others who’d sought refuge in the ruins of the Immortals’ Sword House felt stifled. They trembled, both body and soul.

All of them felt as if the apocalypse were upon them!

Boom!

Thunder shook the nine heavens, and dazzling electrical light illuminated the world.

The dense layers of black tribulation clouds split apart. Deep within the layers of cloud, the surging, rampaging tribulation lightning was now clearly visible.

The Lightning of Spiritual Execution, the Lightning of Celestial Annihilation, the Lightning of the Eight Winds, Magnetic Origin Lightning… Dozens of different types of rare, matchless tribulation lightning shone within the clouds.

Each type of lightning represented a power capable of destroying heaven and earth. When they fell, they’d reduce an entire area to powder.

“This… this… How is this a Tribulation of Spiritual Manifestation? Even Tribulations of the Spiritual Revolution are nowhere near this terrifying!”

Over on the distant seas, the unkempt old Daoist trembled and visibly lost his composure.

However, Su Yi just stood there proudly, hands behind his back as he gazed up into the sky.

Boom!

As a crack of thunder rang out, roaring pillars of lightning descended from the heavens.

Ordinarily speaking, the first layer of a Tribulation of Spiritual Manifestation was the weakest.

However, the lightning bolts descending upon Su Yi were thick enough for several people to wrap their arms around. They flashed with radiant purple light, illuminating the Sea of Chaotic Spirits.

Their power shocked the world!

“My heavens!” Ying Que couldn’t help but blurt.

This was just the first layer of the tribulation, but its power far surpassed his Tribulation of Spiritual Manifestation. Even a Spiritual Incarnation Realm cultivator would have stood little chance of blocking it, never mind Ying Que! Had he faced such a tribulation back then, one lightning bolt would have reduced him to ash!

“Excellent!” Su Yi hesitated no further. He charged directly into the heavens, making no attempt to block. He just took the tribulation lightning with his body.

His blue robes and black hair fluttered around him, and his entire body emanated an unrestrained air. He was like a frenzied immortal, the very opposite of his typical calm, casual demeanor.

It was as if a sword long left to gather dust had finally left its sheath, revealing its sharp edge!

Bang bang bang!

As the terrifying purple lightning slammed into Su Yi, smaller streaks of electricity traveled across his skin, as if jumping about on every bone and muscle. The lightning released an utterly terrifying destructive aura and attacked him inside and out.

Su Yi didn’t so much as furrow his brow. Rather, he used this opportunity to call upon the full extent of his cultivation base.

The Tribulation of Spiritual Manifestation was dangerous, but it was a fortuitous encounter in its own right.

It was born of the Laws of Heaven and Earth. It could both quench the flesh and temper the cultivation base.

Spiritual Manifestation cultivators were powerful because they’d undergone a baptism by tribulation lightning. Without overcoming a lightning tribulation, it was impossible to step into the Spirit Dao.

Whoosh~

Five-colored Dao Light circulated around Su Yi, and Yin and Yang fused into one another, creating a perfect cycle of the Grand Dao. Wind and lightning revolved inside it, creating a whirlpool.

As the circle of Dao Light revolved, it wore away the attacking purple tribulation lightning. Before long, some of the lightning had been completely neutralized.

The rest had been absorbed into the whirlpool and refined.

In the end——

Kccch! Kccch!

Wisps of black smoke rose from Su Yi’s body like serpents. This was the turbid qi he’d accumulated within his body over the course of his daily cultivation. The power of the tribulation was an opportunity to cleanse his impurities, one by one.

Su Yi’s fleshly body shone increasingly brilliantly, like a diamond.

“He blocked it, just like that?” The unkempt old Daoist widened his eyes.

There was no scattered flesh or spraying blood. There was no hysterical struggle. Throughout the entire process, Su Yi looked calm and at ease. He’d neutralized the first layer of his tribulation in a single attempt!

The old Daoist couldn’t possibly have known this, but Su Yi had tempered his cultivation and mental state to the pinnacle of his current realm months ago.

Furthermore, with the power of the Strongest Dao Seed he’d condensed as an Origin Dao cultivator, he could already slay even Spiritual Incarnation Realm cultivators. Of course he could overcome the first layer of his tribulation!

Rumble! Boom!

Before long, nine bolts of lightning fell in rapid succession.

This was the second layer of the tribulation, and each bolt was thicker and brighter than the one before.

In the end, they were like silver pillars of light, and they shook heaven and earth. This was far more terrifying than the first layer of the tribulation.

Su Yi didn’t dodge. He just stood proudly in the sky, blocking the lightning with his fleshly body!

Beams of lightning and electrical light scattered. Thunder reverberated throughout heaven and earth.

The cycle of the Grand Dao revolving behind Su Yi neutralized all nine bolts of silver lightning, one by one.

Su Yi, meanwhile, was entirely unharmed, without so much as a hair out of place!

Heaven and earth were deathly silent.

“Isn’t this a bit… too damn terrifying?” The sloppy old Daoist was wide-eyed and so stunned he could barely speak. He practically jumped.

Every cultivator’s Tribulation of Spiritual Manifestation was different.

Particularly powerful tribulations could obliterate even miraculous geniuses or chosen sons of heaven, ending their Dao and destroying them both body and soul.

Even more terrifying tribulations could result in almost certain death despite ample preparations. Dharma protectors, formations, and miraculous secret treasures sometimes weren’t enough to save you.

Throughout history, no small number of?peerless?chosen of heaven had fallen while undergoing such tribulations. Less than one in a thousand made it through unharmed.

However, Su Yi’s grand tribulation was different; it was so terrifying that it?boggled?the imagination.

Were a Spiritual Revolution Realm cultivator here to see this, even they would feel a certain degree of dread, and their hearts would quiver in terror.

However, Su Yi made overcoming lightning tribulation seem as easy as eating or drinking. This was simply unheard of!

Boom!

The lightning tribulation didn’t stop. On the contrary, its light grew even more searing and intense.

Before long, the third layer of the tribulation arrived, the lightning bolts roaring like dragons as they poured from the depths of the clouds. Each lightning dragon was fully one thousand feet long, and they shone with dazzling, jade-like hues.

Nine lightning dragons suddenly gathered together, forming a singular lightning bolt like a primordial divine mountain. It came crashing down from the heavens.

This attack was inestimably more powerful than the second layer of the lightning tribulation!

This time, Su Yi finally looked a bit solemn.

However, he didn’t retreat. He still blocked it with his body.

Bang!!!

The instant the jade lightning pillar came crashing down, he was enveloped completely in endless, overflowing, jade electric light.

When they saw this, his companions’ hearts clenched, and their expressions shifted dramatically.

But before long, they watched as the mountainous, overflowing electric light suddenly swayed. A moment later, a long, thin rift appeared…

In the end, the lightning bolt reminiscent of a primordial divine mountain disintegrated with a bang and collapsed.

And a tall, upright figure appeared within the searing electric radiance.

A perfect cycle of the light of the Grand Dao revolved, continuously absorbing and refining the rain of scattering, dissipating electricity. In the process, it illuminated the entire area, creating a magnificent scene.

This only made Su Yi seem even more like a god or immortal!
