Volume 10: Fuyao Chapter 45: Advancing at a Rapid Speed
“What is this?!” Master Zhuzhao was stunned, his mind wavering.
There should be few cultivators in the world who would not recognize the scene before them.
This is a heavenly calamity.
Things that the monks both fear and enjoy.
What people are afraid of is that the power of the heavenly tribulation is extremely terrifying, and it is extremely dangerous to endure the tribulation.
Under the heavenly calamity, a cultivator might be reduced to ashes if he is not careful, and all his years of practice would be wasted, and his body and soul would be destroyed.
The good news is that every time a cultivator survives a heavenly tribulation, his strength will undergo a transformation.
For this reason, cultivators usually make full preparations for the heavenly tribulation before they dare to endure it carefully.
Even if one is lucky enough to survive the heavenly tribulation, under normal circumstances, the cultivator's condition at that time would not be very good.
After all, resisting the heavenly calamity would often drain all their magic power, or even seriously injure them.
Although the power of heaven and earth will soon flow into the cultivator's body, this process will still take some time.
This is often the time when the monk is at his weakest.
If their enemies knew the time and place of their tribulation, they could ambush them and attack the cultivator when he had just successfully passed the tribulation but the power of heaven and earth had not yet descended.
This often achieves great results and successfully kills the enemy in one fell swoop.
Although there are not many such examples in the world of cultivation, they are definitely not a small number.
Therefore, the time and place of tribulation are top secrets for any cultivator who is undergoing tribulation. No one would dare to reveal them except to the closest people.
The cautious ones are even more secretive and will not reveal any information even to those close to them.
After all, overcoming tribulation is a personal matter. Even if you tell others, they will not be able to help, and there is even a risk of leaking the information.
Therefore, there is really no need to tell others the news of one's tribulation.
But today, the Taibai Sword Master in front of him chose to break through the barrier and overcome the calamity in front of an enemy who had reached the stage of harmony with the Tao?
How arrogant and how confident.
This is not only a disdain for Master Zhuzhao, but also a disregard for the power of heaven and earth.
…
At this time, the sky had become an ocean of lightning.
The lightning surged and the thunder was like a tide. It had the power to shatter everything and was extremely intense.
At this moment, there seemed to be only purple light between heaven and earth.
Purple light was pressing down, and thunder from the sky was about to come, threatening to shake Kunlun.
Sect Master Zhuzhao remained silent as he looked at the tornado, black clouds, and purple lightning that were brought by the Taibai Sword Master's abundant energy.
When a monk is undergoing tribulation, outsiders are not allowed to interfere.
Anyone who interferes, whether helping or causing trouble, will be included in the target of attack by the heavenly calamity.
Moreover, it will automatically match the interference with the cultivator's cultivation and send down a heavenly tribulation of the corresponding level to punish him.
Therefore, at this moment, Master Zhuzhao could only silently watch the thunderclouds in the sky grow more and more intense, and even stepped back. He did not dare to use any magic power, for fear of being sensed by the heavenly calamity and being targeted for attack.
But he is not in a hurry now.
He was waiting for the moment when Taibai Sword Master would overcome the 29th heavenly tribulation.
At that time, he would immediately attack with a thunderous force and directly kill Taibai Sword Master, and would not give him any more chances.
As for the possibility that Master Taibai Sword would not be able to survive the 29th Heavenly Tribulation, Master Zhuzhao had never considered it at all.
Even if he didn't try his best, a cultivator who was able to fight him head-on was only injured in the First Tribulation Realm. How could he not be able to survive a mere Twenty-Nine Heavenly Tribulations?
boom!
After brewing for a moment, the thunder finally broke out.
The thunder was so loud that it almost pierced people's eardrums and shattered their souls.
The power of thunder is so vast that it connects heaven and earth, like a waterfall hanging upside down above the sky and then pouring down.
The blinding lightning filled everyone's sight.
This is a world of thunder and lightning that can destroy everything and fill people with fear and even horror.
This is the will of heaven and earth, to wipe out the living beings who practice Taoism.
The wind and thunder became more and more violent, like thousands of horses galloping.
The next moment, nine bolts of lightning came from heaven.
Each bolt of lightning was only as thick as a vine and did not look scary.
But no one dares to underestimate it.
Because this is the thunder of heavenly calamity.
Above the Yishui River, nine purple snake-like lightning bolts all struck towards Taibai Sword Master.
This three-life swordsman who had reached the eighth realm three times was so confident that he stood still without even drawing his Taibai sword.
The Taibai Sword is not drawn, but that doesn’t mean the Taibai Sword Master has not drawn the sword.
A silent sword intent suddenly arose within his body.
Immediately, a storm began to surge in his dantian, and countless sword intents like small swords began to rage, extremely powerful and surging out, flowing upwards along the meridians.
When these sword intentions flowed to the chest of Taibai Sword Master, it was like a carp leaping over the dragon gate, and a transformation occurred. It turned into some kind of tangible aura, and then whizzed through his chest, vast and mighty, with no boundaries, and seemed to rush straight into the sky.
What kind of breath is that?
This is the great spirit.
A subtle sound of air flow was heard, spreading around Taibai Sword Master, making the space there crystal clear, like a gorgeous crystal.
This is the Haoran Dharma Realm.
The first thunderbolt finally came towards us.
But before it got close, it hit some invisible obstacle, causing a messy web of flames to appear.
The Taibai Sword Master remained motionless.
The remaining lightning current flowed into the ground and spread out in all directions, causing the ground to become charred black. The cold air that overflowed from the Yishui River also spread out.
After the first thunderbolt, the second one came, leaving no time to even breathe.
Heavenly calamity has never been a sentient being.
Its existence is to cut off the path of monks.
Thunder struck from the sky.
With a loud bang.
Just like raindrops falling on lotus leaves.
It was clearly thunder from heaven falling directly on his head, but it encountered a layer of obstruction above the body of Taibai Sword Master, and turned into countless tiny lightning threads that flowed in all directions. Finally, a gust of breeze blew by and sent these lightning threads away.
The area around Taibai Sword Master's body became a small piece of land in the sea of purple thunder. No matter how turbulent the world was, it remained motionless and maintained its tranquility.
boom!
Another blazing bolt of lightning descended, the heaven and earth shook, the purple light shone brightly, and there were countless traces of lightning.
However, no matter how violent it was, the heavenly thunder could not penetrate within ten feet of Taibai Sword Master.
People held their breath and watched quietly.
The fourth one.
The fifth one.
The sixth one.
The seventh one.
Another four bolts of lightning flashed by.
From beginning to end, the Master of Taibai Sword never used the Taibai Sword, and did not even move a step.
"Is he going to get through the 29th heavenly tribulation so easily?" Seeing Taibai Sword Master getting infinitely close to the ninth heavenly thunder and about to get through the heavenly tribulation that other cultivators feared like a tiger with a joking ease, everyone felt extremely shocked.
This is true whether it is the sword cultivators of the Sword Sect who follow Taibai Sword Master to guard Yishui Terrace, or the cultivators of the Huanling Sect who are actually the souls of the Heart Demon Clan.
The eighth heavenly thunder arrived as expected.
It is still as thick as a vine, but the color has turned dark purple, almost black.
boom!
The deep purple thunder exploded ten feet above the body of Taibai Sword Master. The blazing divine light made the sky, which had just begun to show a glimmer of light, as bright as noon, dazzling and eye-catching.
The eighth heavenly thunder, as thick as a vine, turned into a sea of thunder, completely submerging the figure of Taibai Sword Master.
Before the sea of thunder dissipated and everyone could see the situation clearly, the ninth heavenly thunder had already followed closely.
Buzz!
It was a bolt of lightning that had turned black and was falling vertically with a buzzing sound.
There were thousands of lightning bolts, and purple and black became the only colors between heaven and earth.
In this sea of thunder, Taibai Sword Master and his domain of law were like a lone boat in a tsunami, and looked to be in danger.
But everyone knows that this is just an illusion.
Because, up to now, the heavenly tribulation has not even forced out the Taibai Sword from the Taibai Sword Master, so how can it be said that it has posed a danger to him?
The twenty-nine heavenly tribulations flashed again and again, and finally all of them fell.
Above the vast Yishui River, the thunder stopped rumbling, the sky and earth suddenly became calm, and the thunderclouds dispersed as if they had never appeared.
And that majestic sea of thunder suddenly shook, as if it was pulled away by a gust of wind and disappeared in a flash.
The Master of Taibai Sword was alone, cold and silent, hanging in the sky.
The twenty-nine- day tribulation has passed.
A strange force is beginning to grow above the sky.
This is the power of heaven and earth brought by the heavenly calamity.
The more powerful the heavenly calamity, the more powerful the power of heaven and earth it generates.
As long as the cultivator refines the power of heaven and earth, a qualitative transformation will occur.
The problem is that one must first be able to survive the heavenly tribulation and not die, so that the power of heaven and earth can be refined by the cultivator.
There is no doubt that the Master of Taibai Sword has already survived the 29th heavenly tribulation.
After absorbing and refining the power of heaven and earth, he will be promoted to a cultivator in the second calamity realm.
However, some people do not want to give Taibai Sword Master the opportunity to advance to the Second Tribulation Realm.
"It's time to put an end to your boring little tricks." Master Zhuzhao's eyes were focused, and he wanted to use his supreme murderous technique to kill Taibai Sword Master before he was promoted to the Second Tribulation Realm.
He was full of energy and let out a loud roar. The huge sky roc appeared behind him again, and golden light shot up into the sky.
An endless atmosphere of terror permeated the air.
But just as he was about to launch his killing move, a sudden buzzing sound was heard between heaven and earth.
Immediately afterwards, a suffocating aura approached again.
Everyone's heart was palpitating and they could hardly breathe under the pressure of this breath.
Master Zhuzhao was the most embarrassed. The energy that was rising from his body was forcibly held back by himself at this moment, causing his energy to become disordered and his chest to feel extremely stuffy.
But he had to do it .
"And there's more!" His eyes were filled with shock and he couldn't help but look up to the sky.
There, dark clouds rolled in and thunder roared, like thousands of troops.
This is... the 39th Heavenly Tribulation.
If he used his magic power to attack during the heavenly tribulation and was mistaken by the Heavenly Dao as wanting to interfere with Taibai Sword Master's tribulation, he would be in trouble.
Therefore, he could only choose to hold back the energy that was about to burst out. He was really like a dumb person eating bitter herbs, unable to express his pain.
But ...how could this be?
For the first time, Sect Leader Zhuzhao was stunned.
The 29th heavenly tribulation was immediately followed by the 39th heavenly tribulation, and even the power of heaven and earth that was so urgent that it was not absorbed by the 29th heavenly tribulation.
This was the first time he had seen such a thing.
He naturally didn't know that Taibai Sword Master, who had cultivated his three bodies and his righteous qi, could recover all of his righteous qi if he wanted to after awakening the memories of his first two lives.
Once all the righteousness was restored, his cultivation would return to the peak of his previous life.
For the Taibai Sword Master at this moment, the realm is just a matter of thought.
boom!
Nine huge thunders fell from the sky again.
Compared with the 29th Heavenly Tribulation, the nine thunderbolts of the 39th Heavenly Tribulation are as thick as a tree that can be embraced by two people.
"Peak Master!" A cultivator from the Sword Sect exclaimed in surprise.
It’s not that they don’t believe in the strength of Taibai Sword Master, the problem is that he has not yet refined and absorbed the power of heaven and earth brought by the 29th Heavenly Tribulation, and he has already gone through the 39th Heavenly Tribulation.
This is equivalent to the Taibai Sword Master using the first calamity realm cultivation to survive the thirty-nine heavenly tribulations.
How could they not worry?
"You are really courting death!" The headmaster Zhuzhao's face changed first, and then his eyes became a little strange. He roughly understood what Taibai Sword Master was thinking, "Do you think you can avoid my attack like this?"
The reason why Taibai Sword Master was so eager to overcome the thirty-nine heavenly tribulations with his cultivation level of the first tribulation realm was probably because he knew very well that he would not be given the time to refine the power of heaven and earth.
Therefore, the Master of Taibai Sword simply chose to make a concerted effort and rush straight into the Three Tribulations Realm.
However, putting aside how arrogant it is to survive the thirty-nine heavenly tribulations with the cultivation level of the first tribulation realm, even if he successfully survived the thirty-nine heavenly tribulations, wouldn't he still need time to absorb the power of heaven and earth?
So, what’s the point of this?
It's nothing more than delaying the date of death a little.
Thinking of this, Master Zhuzhao smiled grimly.
…
boom!
The first thunder of the Thirty-Nine Heavenly Tribulations has already landed.
However, the vast space of great energy is still so small that it is still impossible for thunder to enter.
boom!
The second, third, and fourth heavenly thunder came one after another.
No entry, no entry, still no entry.
The thunder in the sky became more and more violent, and its color was getting darker and darker.
This means that the power in the heavenly thunder is becoming more concentrated, more condensed, and more terrifying.
But at the same time, the majestic energy in Taibai Sword Master's chest became more and more powerful.
This is the Haoran sword intent and Haoran sword art that he cultivated in his previous two lives, and now it has returned.
His body, his meridians, his blood, and his energy were all trembling at a high frequency, as if cheering for the return of the great sword intent.
"Welcome back."
…
When the ninth thunder fell.
The deep purple turned to black, like thunder from the underworld.
Master Taibai Sword finally took a step forward.
Took a step in the void.
He also took a step forward towards his majestic sword path.
first step.
The righteousness turned into substance at this moment, rising and falling, looking confused and full of sword intent.
The ninth heavenly thunder ultimately still disappeared outside the Haoran Dharma Domain.
The Taibai Sword Master's eyes were deep and he remained motionless, with only his hair fluttering in the wind.
But the other monks could no longer remain calm.
"How is it possible to survive thirty-nine heavenly tribulations in one calamity realm?" The corners of Master Zhuzhao's eyes twitched slightly, unable to understand this scene.
What kind of power is this?
He couldn't understand.
Although he seized the human spirit and had a human body, he was not a true human cultivator after all and would never be able to understand.
In fact, even among the real human cultivators, few could understand this scene.
But for Master Zhuzhao, this was a level of power that he absolutely could not tolerate.
"Enough!" he shouted, and the Tianpeng behind him rose up again, with tremendous power.
boom!
The earth-shaking thunder roared again.
Tianpeng was so frightened that he turned into an ostrich, shrinking back into the body of Master Zhuzhao.
Again and again!
Nine bolts of thunder suddenly rose up and brewed in the dark clouds, like a tumbling dragon, ready to strike.
Everyone was stunned, dumbfounded.
This is the forty-nine-day calamity.
Is Taibai Sword Master crazy?
The faces of the sword practitioners from the Sword Sect changed drastically and they all felt that something was wrong.
But something even more unexpected happened to them.
During the time when Taibai Sword Master was going through the 39th heavenly tribulation, the power of heaven and earth brought by the 29th heavenly tribulation finally grew, formed, and brewed.
The fresh and mysterious breath of heaven and earth passed through the dark clouds formed by the forty-nine heavenly tribulations, and then poured into the body of Taibai Sword Master like a flood.
His eyes suddenly lit up with brilliance, his cultivation level increased at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his momentum continued to rise.
The fresh and powerful force of heaven and earth entered the body of Taibai Sword Master, then passed through the vast energy in his chest, flowed into his dantian along his meridians, and transformed into tremendous strength, strengthening his entire body.
His arms, muscles, bones, magic power and even divine consciousness began to transform and become crystal clear.
Thus, the Master of Taibai Sword reached the Second Tribulation Realm.
Now, he is in the second calamity state to overcome the forty-nine heavenly tribulations.
If one can safely survive the forty-nine calamities, the power of heaven and earth brought by the thirty-nine calamities will also be well brewed.
By then, Master Taibai Sword will be a cultivator in the Three Tribulations Realm.
This is his way out.
The time it takes for the heavenly calamity to brew is overlapped with the time it takes for the power of heaven and earth to brew and grow, thus breaking the impasse.
Simple and straightforward, yet incredibly difficult.
Because he must be able to ensure that he can cross the border and survive the disaster.
At this time, the forty-nine heavenly tribulations had finally brewed.
This time, Master Taibai finally drew his sword and took the initiative to do so.
He swung the Taibai sword in his hand towards the sky.
Suddenly, countless majestic auras turned into wisps of wind, rippling around his body.
A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, flashing brightly.
But after the thunder touched the wisps of wind, it was immediately broken down and blown away by the wind.
The heavenly calamity seemed to feel provoked, and it rumbled with an even louder momentum.
The second heavenly thunder dispersed.
The third heavenly thunder dispersed.
The fourth heavenly thunder still dispersed.
The master of Taibai Sword held the Taibai Sword and slashed again and again.
The thunder in the sky then dissipated again and again.
However, the second heavenly thunder dissipated seven feet in front of Taibai Sword Master.
The third bolt of lightning reached a height of six feet.
The power of the thunders one after another continued to increase, and they also continued to advance.
The fourth heavenly thunder, five feet of ground.
The fifth heavenly thunder is four feet in area.
The sixth heavenly thunder, three feet of land.
By analogy, the ninth heavenly thunder will submerge Taibai Sword Master and shatter him into pieces.
Boo!
The seventh heavenly thunder is coming.
The Taibai Sword Master swung his sword, and the breeze transformed from his great energy rushed forward to meet the attack as before.
The thunder in the sky continued to move forward, making a crackling sound.
Finally... when it was still three feet away from Taibai Sword Master, it suddenly dispersed with the wind.
Yes, not two feet, but three feet.
There is no way to advance within three feet of space.
This is the great sword art practiced by Master Taibai Sword.
A little bit of noble spirit can bring a thousand miles of refreshing wind.
Of course, Qianli Kuaizaifeng was just what Taibai Sword Master imagined would happen after his sword art was perfected.
He is currently under the thunder.
It is a three-foot-long pleasant wind.
The three feet in front of the sword cultivator has always been his own world.
Because the length of the sword is three feet.
Therefore, three feet of land is the limit of the heavenly tribulation.
The Master of Taibai Sword closed his eyes slightly, and the Taibai Sword in his hand seemed to embrace the heaven and earth.
But if you look closely, you can see a barely visible trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, and it is clear that he is not as relaxed as he appears to be.
There is a level of heaven after each tribulation in the realm of tribulation.
Therefore, the difficulty of overcoming forty-nine heavenly tribulations in the second tribulation realm will be ten times that of overcoming thirty-nine heavenly tribulations in the first tribulation realm.
boom!
The eighth heavenly thunder of the forty-nine heavenly tribulations has arrived.
With Taibai Sword Master as the center of the circle, layers of lightning exploded outwards.
There are thunders everywhere. There are thunders everywhere.
Only the three feet in front of Master Taibai Sword is pure land.
At that moment, the eighth and ninth heavenly thunder exploded one after another.
Then the sky became clear and the air became bright.
The forty-nine days of calamity have passed.
The power of heaven and earth brought by the 39th Heavenly Tribulation, at this moment, coincidentally poured into the body of Taibai Sword Master.
So, he reached the realm of three calamities.
Above the sky, the power of heaven and earth belonging to the forty-nine heavenly tribulations is still brewing.
It is conceivable that in a moment, Taibai Sword Master will reach the fourth calamity realm.
And at this moment, he finally stopped.
It stopped after forty-nine days of calamity.
There were no more thunderclouds in the sky.
This is the real end.
The reason is very simple.
Taibai Sword Master opened his eyes and whispered to himself, "That's enough."
…
Xia Daoyun once told Lu Qingshan that once the master of Haoran Peak cultivated to the eighth level again, his cultivation would surely advance by leaps and bounds.
It is not surprising that he became the number one in the Sword Sect under the Qingyun Sword Immortal.
What does it mean to make rapid progress?
Break through the three realms in one day.
One calamity leads to four calamities.
"One in the morning and four in the evening."
This is rapid progress.
