Just when everyone was in a different mood, within that area, Tang Huan, who was enveloped by the power of heaven, finally felt the divine tribulation descending from the sky above.
"Rumble …"
Amidst the deafening sound, a thick white electric snake pounced down crazily with the force of a thunderbolt.
However, the surrounding s.p.a.ce did not show any movement as it pa.s.sed by.
It was as if this divine tribulation was one with the heavens and the earth. However, the aura emitted from that white lightning snake was extremely terrifying. Powerful, majestic, vast, vigorous … That aura was actually very upright, as if it contained the might of the world itself. It could crush any obstacle into dust.
At this moment, Tang Huan felt that other than himself and the white electric snake, everything else in the world seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
In between Tang Huan"s mind instructs (in a second), the infant above his head began to rapidly expand, and actually swallowed the thick white electric snake in one gulp. An extremely violent hurricane suddenly appeared on the calm sea surface. An incomparably terrifying power began to wreak havoc in the Dao Nascent Soul"s body like a madman.
However, at almost the same instant, the nine divine crystals and the nearly forty billion Dao-Crystals which made up this infant began to wildly revolve, quickly eliminating the explosive power of the divine tribulation. In the process, the ma.s.sive white lightning serpent shrank at a speed which was hard to capture even with the power of his mind.
"Rumble …"
However, the moment the white lightning snakes completely disappeared from the Dao Nascent Soul"s body, an earth-shaking sound rang out once more. This time, there were actually two thick white lightning snakes that descended from the sky at the same time. In the sky above Tang Huan, the nascent soul stood still, and once again swallowed the two electric snakes. The power that the two electric snakes released was naturally even more terrifying, as it had caused quite a huge impact to Tang Huan"s nine divine crystals and the tens of billions of dao crystals. However, while divine crystals and Dao-Crystals could withstand the impact of a divine tribulation, it was also a powerful training for the user. Only after experiencing enough tribulation can one reach the Nascent Soul stage
A qualitative change had occurred.
In the blink of an eye, the two lightning serpents disappeared once more. However, in the blink of an eye, four lightning serpents descended. Divine tribulation was different from heavenly tribulation. Every time a tribulation attacked, the next one would double in power. Under normal circ.u.mstances, an Empyrean would have to experience nine levels of heavenly tribulation in order to be able to confirm their own Dao of the G.o.d level. But if this trend was multiplied, then at the ninth level, there would be 256!
This kind of white electric snake.
To a peak peak Empyrean, a single bolt of lightning was already extremely terrifying, much less having two hundred and fifty-six of them appear at the same time. Therefore, the majority of Empyreans that managed to reach the Divine level would end up in failure. As long as there were a few lucky ones, they would be able to keep their lives or be called demiG.o.ds.
Only one in a million Empyreans would be able to prove their existence as Deities of the Dao. Of course, the Nine Stage Divine Tribulation was something that an ordinary Heavenly Sovereign would face. When Tang Huan was at loggerheads with the heavenly dao, the Absolute beginning would definitely strengthen the Divine Tribulation that Tang Huan had to endure within the realm allowed by the laws of heaven and earth. According to the information that Tang Huan had gathered from the Serene Flame"s memories, there had been several Heavenly Sovereigns that could endure the Ten Stage of Divine Tribulation.
。
In the neighboring plane world, such an example had appeared in ancient times.
The ninth tribulation was a set of 256 white lightning serpents … and the tenth tribulation was naturally a set of 512 white lightning serpents descending at the same time … To the vast majority of Empyreans, the sixth layer of 32 electric snakes was already a nightmare, not to mention 500 of them.
Under such a level of divine tribulation, even the most powerful of peak Highest Empyreans would be instantly burnt to ashes.
As for the Empyreans, they only needed to withstand nine levels of heavenly tribulation. As for the Empyreans, they needed to withstand ten levels … There wasn"t a clear answer to the question in You Yan"s memories, but one thing was certain. Before entering the Divine Realm, the more divine crystals one possessed, the more likely they would be able to withstand the Divine Tribulation.
Tang Huan now had nine divine crystals, which was the limit that the Heavenly Sovereign could reach.
Therefore, if Absolute Beginning bestowed ten levels of heavenly tribulation upon Tang Huan, it would not go against the rules of the world at all. If Tang Huan"s soul was shattered by such a heavenly tribulation, Tai Chu would not suffer any backlash.
However, since Tang Huan dared to choose to ascend to the Divine Realm at this time, he naturally had long since been prepared in his heart.
Within the Nascent Soul above his head, as the four lightning snakes dissipated, the eight white lightning snakes came cras.h.i.+ng down at the same time … And then, sixteen to sixteen white lightning snakes … Thirty-two white electric snakes … Every single electric snake was overflowing with power, forming an extremely strong contrast to the tranquil s.p.a.ce around them.
"Rumble …"
The rumbling sounds became even louder and more ear-piercing as sixty-four white electric snakes rapidly descended. Tang Huan"s body remained unmoving and the baby above did not cower as it once again swallowed all of them … In that instant, his already huge Dao soul instantly expanded to twice its original size.
Within the Dao Infant"s body, lightning snakes were scurrying about wildly, as if they were going to tear it to shreds.
However, under the guidance of the nine G.o.dgems, the tens of billions of Dao-Crystals were blocked off layer by layer, becoming smaller and smaller. However, under the guidance of the nine G.o.dgems, the tens of billions of Dao-Crystals, under the guidance of the nine G.o.dgems, layer by layer, intercepted and grew smaller and smaller.
This was the seventh tribulation!
From the Qi, Tang Huan could vaguely sense a trace of emotion that came from the heavens.
To be able to successfully pa.s.s the seventh level of Divine Tribulation with just his Dao Nascent Soul, the Absolute Beginning seemed to be a bit impatient.
Tang Huan was naturally clear of the reason why he had such a change in mood.
Even if it was the tenth stage of the Divine Tribulation Realm, there would only be three stages remaining. If Tang Huan successfully pa.s.sed through the Divine Tribulation Realm, no matter how furious and resentful Tai Chu was, he could only watch helplessly as Tang Huan was promoted to the Divine Realm. However, after witnessing the Divine Tribulation Realm, not only was Tang Huan fearless of the Heavenly Dao, he could even attack the Heavenly Dao.
The Heavenly Dao was one with the outside world.
Although Tang Huan could not destroy the Heavenly Dao, he could still greatly weaken its power. If Tang Huan"s methods were strong enough, he could even make the Heavenly Dao its most basic state. At that time, if he wanted to recover to his current state, who knew how long it would take.
If the Absolute beginning failed after crossing the river, they would definitely be worried about the retaliation from Tang Huan. Naturally, they did not want Tang Huan to succeed in proving the location of the G.o.d.
"Absolute beginning, don"t worry, we"ll take our time." The corner of Tang Huan"s mouth curled up into a mocking smile, and a surge of mind instructs (in a second) spread out in all directions like lightning.
"..."
The Absolute beginning did not reply, but the emotions contained within the aura of the Heavenly Dao were getting more and more intense, and right after, the eighth stage of Divine Tribulation appeared!
128 white lightning snakes shot down from the sky at the same time …
… ….
"This is the eighth heavenly tribulation!"
In the dark void, Hannya and Duan Yuan who were looking at the direction of the whirlpool couldn"t help but cry out in alarm, their eyes unblinkingly looking in the same direction.
At this moment, their minds were greatly shaken.
At first, when they discovered that the Heavenly Dao had revealed the divine tribulation, they were all worried for Tang Huan. After all, regardless of time or place, they were all unsuitable for Tang Huan to break through to the Divine Realm.
Tang Huan would naturally pay the price for his impulsiveness.
Probably within a few stages of Divine Tribulation, Tang Huan would turn into dust and completely disappear from this world. Of course, with Tang Huan"s terrifying strength that could easily suppress a SemiG.o.d, he might be able to preserve his life but he would definitely receive heavy injuries. For his impulsive actions this time, he had paid an extremely huge price.
Moreover, even if he managed to keep his life this time, the difficulty of his second attempt at becoming a Divine Knight would undoubtedly increase greatly in the future.
To Tang Huan, this was evidently extremely disadvantageous.
However, what everyone didn"t expect was that Tang Huan had successfully pa.s.sed through the first to seventh stage tribulations unscathed. Moreover, from the looks of the situation over there, Tang Huan had only survived a short period of time per stage, which was much faster than when they were trying to reach the Divine Realm.
The divine tribulation required one to successfully cross one level before the next one would descend. As a result, it was very easy to determine how long it would take for a person to survive each level. In addition, it was because of this reason that a small number of Empyreans were able to survive when they failed to ascend to the Divine Realm.
If one level had not pa.s.sed and the next level came one after another, then there would probably be no living being that had survived the divine tribulation. In that case, there were only two possible outcomes to breaking into the Divine Level, one was to succeed, the other was to die from failure, and the option to survive would no longer exist.
Amongst the few people here, other than the void rainbow, Hannya, Duan Yuan, Song Gao Yang, and the fire phoenix had all experienced divine tribulation and understood it somewhat. But looking at the current situation, Tang Huan clearly still had some strength left over, otherwise, it would have been impossible for Tang Huan to face the eighth stage of divine tribulation so quickly.
"There are only two levels left!"
"The most dangerous part is the ninth tribulation!" However, if Brother Tang Huan still has some power left over from the eighth stage of the heavenly tribulation, then the ninth stage of the heavenly tribulation should not be too difficult for him! "
"In my opinion, the chances of Brother Tang Huan failing are extremely small!"
"It looks like a Divine Promised Expert will appear in front of us soon!"
"..."
Hannya and the others kept muttering nonstop, all of them subconsciously lowering their voices, as though they were afraid that they would startle the Tang Huan under the divine tribulation.
Behind the group of demiG.o.ds, Void Rainbow was tightly clenching her fists and was extremely nervous. However, when he heard that there was a very high probability that Tang Huan would be able to pa.s.s the test, the nervousness in his eyes was quickly replaced with excitement. He had long thought of himself as Tang Huan"s follower, and had even placed himself in the position of his servant.
Anthracene.
At this time, under the eighth stage of Divine Tribulation, which was made up of one hundred and twenty-eight white electric snakes, the infant returned to his dantian as Tang Huan"s Chaos Immortal body began to inflate at a speed that was difficult to catch by the naked eye.
In less than half a blink of an eye, Tang Huan"s body had already reached a height of several hundred meters.
It was also at this moment that the hundred over electric snakes smashed onto Tang Huan"s body at the same time, but all directly charged into Tang Huan"s body, and quickly spread out. In this instant, Tang Huan"s flesh body, the Sky Origin within his dantian"s Dao Nascent Soul, and even the "Primal Chaos Dao Flame", were all channeled to the limit.
As the electric snakes tore apart Tang Huan"s internal organs, limbs and bones, they were also constantly being melted and weakened by the energy within Tang Huan"s body. The damaged regions of his body were also constantly being repaired at an astonis.h.i.+ng speed … Destroy, repair … Destroy, repair …
Within Tang Huan"s body, this cycle continued.
However, it had only lasted for the span of a few breaths, and the interior of Tang Huan"s body had already regained its calm. The surrounding aura of the Heavenly Dao seemed to contain more and more anger. If the Absolute Beginning was right in front of him, then his face would probably be filled with rage right now.
The corner of Tang Huan"s mouth widened, and his mind quickly calmed down. High above in the sky, there were already two hundred and fifty-six thick white electric snakes roaring down at him from all directions. A rumbling sound filled the skies, but those white lightning serpents actually gave off a feeling of silence.
An incomparably terrifying pressure was born out of thin air, as if it could directly strike into the depths of one"s soul.
"The ninth tribulation!"
"Last layer!"
"It"s almost over!"
In the dark void, Hannya and the rest couldn"t help but cry out, their eyes opened even wider.
The crucial ninth level of the Divine Tribulation was about to descend. Whether he succeeded or failed, it was time to make a move! If it was successful, Tang Huan would become the first Divine Inheritor in the past tens of thousands of years. Tang Huan could become a demiG.o.d like them, but he could also turn into ashes.
Becoming a demiG.o.d was still alright.
However, if it died, then that would be too much a pity, since from ancient times, it was extremely rare to find a cultivator with talent like Tang Huan. If a genius like this died to a divine tribulation, wouldn"t that be a blow to the heart?
At this moment, regardless of whether it was Hannya, Duan Yuan, Song Gao Yang, or Void Rainbow, their hearts all suddenly rose up.
Even the Fire Phoenix was staring at the whirlpool without blinking at all, and its emotions were a little complicated. If Tang Huan succeeded, it would be a great thing for the outside world, but if Tang Huan failed to become a witness to the G.o.ds, and even died, then she would have avenged her great vengeance.
Everyone was paying close attention to the movements of the divine tribulation, yet Tang Huan remained as calm as ever under the divine tribulation.
"Rumble …"
The rumbling sounds lingered on endlessly, and continuously attacked Tang Huan"s eardrums. However, at this time, Tang Huan"s body had undergone a rather strange change. His robes had long since turned to dust in the face of the divine tribulation, and his entire body was now completely exposed.
In a split-second, more than two hundred white lightning snakes had already rushed into Tang Huan"s Primal Chaos Immortal"s body. Through the surface of Tang Huan"s body, one could seemingly see streaks of white light shuttling quickly, like numerous mad poisonous snakes, constantly pulling at and cutting at Tang Huan"s body. In just a blink of an eye, Tang Huan"s internal organs, muscles and bones seemed to have been disrupted.
