First Immortal of the Sword

Chapter 2125 – Dazzling and Unprecedented in Any Age

Su Yi’s third incarnation’s expression filled with uncertainty. He really hadn’t ever considered the possibility that Su Yi would really step onto the path of divinity he was convinced didn’t exist.

It was far too unbelievable, to the point that it completely overturned his perception of reality!

A moment later, Su Yi’s third incarnation steadied his heart and looked at Su Yi. “But you’re already on the brink of death; you have no energy left at all. How can you possibly overcome this tribulation?”

He could sense the calamitous power brewing beneath the dome of heaven. It was silent, yet heart-palpitating. Its aura alone was enough to make even him, a supreme expert of the Limit Realm, feel his heart shake!

Su Yi said hoarsely, “In our earlier battle, my cultivation base and physical power shattered. I have no strength left to speak of. But that means that to me, this tribulation is nothing at all.”

His third incarnation was stunned, and baffled, too. “No, doesn’t that mean you’re sure to lose?”

Su Yi couldn’t help but laugh. “You wouldn’t understand.”

His third incarnation frowned. The words “you wouldn’t understand” weren’t overly hurtful, but they stung nonetheless.

Even worse, it was true. He didn’t understand. He couldn’t even imagine how Su Yi planned to face this tribulation!

After all, Su Yi was already lying flat on the ground, with no strength left. How could he undergo tribulation and achieve divinity in this state?

“On that note, I ought to thank you,” said Su Yi, sounding completely earnest and sincere. “If not for you, it would have been difficult to shatter my cultivation base and find the opportunity I needed to break through between life and death.”

His third incarnation’s expression was suddenly a bit unsightly.

A moment later, he laughed and shook his head. “I said it earlier. If you can achieve divinity, what harm is there in serving as your whetstone just this once?”

He looked up at the dome of heaven and whispered, “But you’re right. I’ve never seen such an unbelievable method of overcoming a tribulation, nor do I understand just how you managed to step onto that new path to divinity. But… you still lost our duel, didn’t you?”

This was the sixth tower’s final trial. Only those who overcame it could receive the sixth tower’s rewards.

Now, Su Yi lay on the ground, immobile, while his third incarnation remained standing. The way his third incarnation saw it, that meant Su Yi had lost.

“I lost?” said Su Yi. “I’m about to become a god. Once I succeed, how could you possibly be any match for me?”

His third incarnation sighed. “I thought that when you lost, you’d straightforwardly lower your head and acknowledge it. I wouldn’t have guessed you’d be so stubborn. In that case, allow me to send you on your way.”

With that, he raised his foot and was about to take action when…

Boom!

A low, heart-palpitating burst of tribulation thunder resounded throughout the chaos clouds.

Su Yi’s third incarnation stiffened. For some inexplicable reason, he knew he couldn’t move his foot any further forward!

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to, but that he was certain that if he did, the power of Su Yi’s divine tribulation would erase him!

“As I’m sure you can sense, you won’t be able to eliminate me before I achieve divinity.” Su Yi lay there, looking quite relaxed.

His third incarnation slowly lowered his right leg, fell briefly silent, then said, “Might you answer one of my questions?”

“Go right ahead,” said Su Yi.

“Just what happened to you? How did you break the limits of the Great Profound Realm?”

Su Yi felt no need to hide it. “This is the Hidden Summit Realm. It’s between godhood and the Great Realm, a cultivation level hidden by the Daos of the heavens. Only a Regressor with mastery of reincarnation can reach the Hidden Summit.”

“The Hidden Summit Realm!” Su Yi’s third incarnation stood there, his expression shifting and uncertain. “Such a mysterious level of cultivation actually exists in this world?”

He was obviously startled, to the point that he’d lost his composure!

“To reach the Hidden Summit, I shattered myself completely and was reborn amidst destruction. I rebuilt myself from the ground up. Without reincarnation’s power of rebirth, all who attempt to enter this realm are sure to perish,” Su Yi said calmly. “Now, I’ve shattered my cultivation base to face death and overcome it once more. My body is the seed of my Dao, and with it, I’ll create a Path of Divinity all my own! Do you understand now?”

He’d just laid all of his secrets out in the open, holding nothing back. There was no reason to hide it; Su Yi knew that even if his third incarnation learned all of these secrets, he could never reach the Hidden Summit!

“So that’s it…” His third incarnation sighed, a complicated look on his thin face.

Meanwhile——

Kaboom!

Deep within the dome of heaven, tribulation lightning churned, and thunder resounded throughout the sky. This immediately drew attention from all across the Path of the Ancient Gods.

The challengers undergoing the Celestial Trials were the first to notice this Divine Tribulation.

The crowd gathered outside the sixth tower was second. They were still waiting to see whether Su Yi could create yet another miracle when they noticed that an unbelievable scene had appeared within the chaos clouds covering the Celestial Trials.

Streaks of tribulation light, like the chains of the natural order, silently appeared from deep within the tribulation clouds. The lights were brilliant, sparkling, and colorful, like the most spectacular of sights.

Red, blue, silver, black, purple, gold… all of these colors repeatedly interwove, dying the chaos clouds in their radiant hues.

As the tribulation light surged, it manifested a boundless, coursing river!

Countless illusory deities floated within it, and countless illusory epoch civilizations were born and destroyed in those coursing waters!

All of this was a manifestation of the tribulation light, which gave all of these visions a heart-palpitating, calamitous aura.

“What… What kind of tribulation is this?” someone stammered.

“A river of tribulation light full of dead gods and destroyed epoch civilizations. Could this be an Epoch Tribulation?” someone exclaimed.

“No, it isn’t!” Lu Shuo, Bai Xiu, Yu Jiu, and the others immediately rejected this hypothesis. All of them had faced their respective epochs’ Epoch Tribulations. They naturally knew just how terrifying they were.

The tribulation unfolding before them was far from comparable.

But… It was also far stranger and far more mysterious!

The omnipresent calamitous aura made the onlookers’ hair stand on end. Even just gazing upon it from afar made them feel as if they’d been plunged into an icy abyss.

Even Lu Shuo, a Mid-Rank God, and the handful of Greater Gods in attendance felt their hearts quiver. None of them could remain calm.

It was as if the majesty of heaven were targeting them!

“What… what kind of tribulation is that, anyway?”

Many of the onlookers were bewildered. Those present included no small number of seasoned gods. Their breadth of experience was far beyond the masses.

Even so, all of them were stunned. They had no idea what kind of tribulation they were looking at.

“If I’m not mistaken, that’s… Fellow Daoist Su’s Divine Tribulation!” Bai Xiu’s eyes sparkled as she reached this conclusion.

The crowd practically exploded into uproar. A Divine Tribulation? Since when could becoming a god trigger such an unbelievable divine tribulation?

……

The City of the Beginning.

Third Libationer Lie Xingqu was currently sipping wine.

“I wouldn’t have guessed that the Seven Great Celestial Venerates and a mysterious Primordial Ancestral God would show up, and that they still would be helpless to stop Fellow Daoist Su…” Lie Xingqu murmured in a bit of a daze.

Just a few days ago, he’d received word from his clan. He now knew everything that had happened at Heaven’s End Divine Mountain.

When he first heard the news, he was completely dumbstruck.

Even now, when he recalled the details of the battle, he found it hard to calm down.

“I just knew that Fellow Daoist Su, who came here with the Epoch Spark and the power of reincarnation, wouldn’t be so easily bullied.” Lie Xingqu finished his cup of wine and sighed.

Suddenly, an unbelievable scene appeared beneath the dome of heaven. Countless resplendent, colorful lights surged forth, interweaving to form chains of the natural order. Gradually, the chains gathered to form a coursing river of tribulation light.

A heart-palpitating, despair-inducing, calamitous aura blanketed the skies of the City of the Beginning, throwing the entire city into uproar!

“What… what kind of tribulation is that?”

“So terrifying!”

Countless startled cries arose throughout the city.

“Don’t tell me… that this is Fellow Daoist Su’s Divine Tribulation?” When this occurred to Lie Xingqu, his hands shook, and his cup fell to the ground and shattered.

But Lie Xingqu didn’t even seem to notice. He just stood there in a daze.

……

Inside one of the many hidden realms of the Deification Star Sea, Feng Wuji smiled. “Congratulations, Monk!”

Buddhist Son Lian Sheng had just successfully refined a supreme Epoch Fragment, invited an unparalleled Divine Tribulation, and overcame it. In doing so, he proved his Dao and became a god!

Feng Wuji couldn’t help but be rueful. He really is one of Heaven’s Chosen. The sheer commotion caused by his breakthrough made the heavens shake. Such tribulations are rare indeed!

The Buddhists of the God Domain can now welcome a new, truly unparalleled god to their ranks!

And with Lian Sheng’s foundations, he’s sure to one day become a Master God.

There were numerous other divine children nearby. All of them looked at Lian Sheng with envy, but also newfound awe.

Because Lian Sheng had become a god. They were no longer on the same level!

Besides, Lian Sheng was the most extraordinary Heaven’s Chosen of Buddhism. The moment he became a god, he shone brightly enough to make many established gods seem dimmer by comparison.

“What does this amount to? I might have become a god, but I still can’t compete with an existence like Su Yi.” Lian Sheng shook his head.

Silence descended over the crowd. The divine children exchanged glances, but none of them said anything.

“How could the likes of us ever catch up to Senior Su?” Feng Wuji sighed. “I can say with certainty that when he becomes a god, he’ll trigger a disturbance unlike anything ever seen before!”

He’d only just said this when…

Boom!!

Countless streams of resplendent tribulation light appeared below the distant dome of heaven, manifesting a coursing river. It enveloped and illuminated the entire Deification Star Sea.

Everyone felt a prickling pain in their eyes, and their souls practically left their bodies in sheer panic.

“What… What kind of tribulation is this?” someone cried out in alarm.

Lian Sheng, who’d only just become a god, seemed to realize something. He murmured, “This has to be Fellow Daoist Su’s Divine Tribulation!”

Feng Wuji’s scalp went numb, and he gulped with great difficulty. “That’s impossible! Look how strange and taboo this tribulation is! This is far more terrifying than even a Greater God’s tribulation!”

“You said it yourself, didn’t you? When Fellow Daoist Su becomes a god, ‘he’ll trigger a disturbance unlike anything ever seen before!’ This is unquestionable proof that you were right on the mark,” said Buddhist Son Lian Sheng, a complicated look on his face.

One man’s tribulation had triggered such unbelievable and strange phenomena even here in the Deification Star Sea.

This was indeed “unlike anything ever seen before!”

For a moment, all of the divine children were left dazed and rooted to the spot.
