"Clang!"
The space rippled like the surface of water.
Princess ‘Shi Le’ raised her hand and waved, and Chen Jiuyang’s figure vanished from the Nine Nether Myriad Tombs, appearing in the ‘Immortal Falling Cliff’.
"Rumble!!!"
Instantly.
The world-ending, alternative Dao Proving Tribulation began to descend.
The entire Immortal Falling Cliff, inside and out, was shrouded in dark clouds of tribulation lightning.
Even the blood rain, which had been falling for countless millennia, suddenly stopped.
The world-ending, ferocious tribulation lightning was immensely thick; any single bolt was like a mountain range, containing unfathomable power.
Alternative Dao Proving could not be undertaken in the mortal realm; it could only be done in forbidden zones of the Spirit Realm.
To attempt it in the mortal realm would be the Heavenly Heart Emperor Tribulation.
"Hmm?"
At this moment.
Even the outside of the long-silent Immortal Falling Cliff showed changes. The seemingly eternal, boundless rain curtain was enveloped by the tribulation lightning. Thick bolts of lightning struck down, directly cleaving open a corner of the boundless rain curtain.
This was terrifying. The world-ending heavenly tribulation immediately alerted powerhouses in every corner of the Earth.
Cane Elder Village.
The Armless Old Sword Emperor, Eight Hardships, Blind Granny, Butcher, Crippled One, Kunwu, Cook, and Fortune Teller simultaneously cast their gazes, as if piercing through the restrictions of Cane Elder Village, towards the Immortal Falling Cliff.
The eight looked at each other and slowly nodded.
"Alternative Dao Proving Tribulation."
"Fortune Teller, can you tell what level of tribulation this is?"
Fortune Teller's gaze was solemn. "There is no mistake, this is the heavenly tribulation for alternative Dao Proving of the eighty-one tribulation Dao Fruit."
The Armless Old Sword Emperor said, "Eighty-one tribulations, Emperor Immortal level."
Blind Granny said, "It seems that in the final chess game, we disabled ones can contend for the Transcendence Pull."
Cook said, "Perhaps not. Since it is the eighty-one tribulation Dao Fruit, and Jiuyang's talent is so outstanding, he will not need our reminder to contend for the Transcendence Pull."
Kunwu asked, "Why didn't Jiuyang return to the village to undergo tribulation? Why did he go to Immortal Falling Cliff?"
Butcher said, "Jiuyang's relationship with this one should be quite good. This one is a princess of the Heavenly Realm. She likely wishes to return to the Heavenly Realm through this final chess game. If Jiuyang can help her break free from the seal, our chances of winning will be greater."
"Let's wait and see."
...
In Desolate Town, terrifying existences shrouded in deathly aura also gazed towards the Immortal Falling Cliff.
Heavy Underworld Sea: Qing Jue, Nine Heavens, Emperor Master, Xuan Xing, Ming Ti, Nine Du, Cheng Yun, Qian Kun, and Wu Xiang, nine supreme existences, felt Chen Jiuyang undergoing his alternative Dao Proving Tribulation in Immortal Falling Cliff, even across the vast distance of the starry sky.
The fluctuations of such an Emperor Immortal eighty-one tribulation could not be concealed from anyone in the lower realm.
In the Unmanifest Palace, a young girl slowly opened her eyes, immortal light flowing within them.
In the Buried Emperor Mountain, a powerhouse clad in imperial robes also cast his gaze towards the Immortal Falling Cliff.
Qi Tian Sect, East Desolation Sect, and Nine Light Sect, these three supreme forces, all perceived the same.
The potential of an Emperor Immortal level Dao Fruit was enough to influence the final chess game, and the Transcendence Pull was particularly important.
Only the strongest person could obtain the Transcendence Pull and become the leader of the final chess game.
Chen Jiuyang himself represented Cane Elder Village. Apart from Cane Elder Village, the remaining major forces had dispatched their most astonishing prodigies and imperial sons to the Nine Nether Myriad Tombs to refine Dao Fruits.
The East Desolation Sect was a great sect that only accepted members from imperial clans. Its sect master could only be an imperial son from generation to generation. The son of a Human Emperor was inherently noble and extraordinary in all aspects.
"The destiny of the inheritor of the Human Emperor's path is truly extraordinary, not inferior to a Great Emperor..."
...
Within the Immortal Falling Cliff.
Apart from the flashing lightning, it was pitch black, presenting a scene of world destruction.
Only the coffin suppressed on the ten-thousand-meter-high cliff flashed with a faint golden light; it was the Universal Sky Lock.
"Rumble!!!"
The tribulation lightning descended.
After refining the origin Dao of ‘Wu’, Chen Jiuyang’s cultivation had reached the ninth heaven of the Emperor realm, just a step away from becoming a Martial Dao Red Dust Immortal.
Such an alternative Dao Proving Tribulation should not be difficult for him.
What made Chen Jiuyang’s face bitter was that he had already sensed that after passing this alternative Dao Proving Tribulation, he would have to undergo nine more tribulations.
But it was not a big problem…
"Dada da!"
The coffin below stirred. The tens of thousands of Universal Sky Locks immediately appeared, intending to lock the coffin. As the coffin opened a slight gap, pink mist drifted out, and then Princess ‘Shi Le’s’ voice sounded in Chen Jiuyang’s ear, "Qianyang, I will immediately teach you the ‘Immortal Crossing Art’. You will circulate it immediately and help me break through the sealed sky locks."
"Thus, all the tribulation power this time will be transformed into power for me to break through the sky locks."
Then, a massive amount of information flowed, making Chen Jiuyang’s eyes light up. "The one who tied the bell must untie it… this method of stealing heaven to cross immortals… truly…"
Then Chen Jiuyang immediately circulated the ‘Immortal Crossing Art’. Instantly, traces of Princess ‘Shi Le’s’ aura began to surge from him, and his appearance even subtly changed to resemble Princess ‘Shi Le’.
"Rumble!!!"
Lightning bolts as thick as mountain ranges continuously struck Chen Jiuyang, but he felt no damage. The power of the tribulation lightning, through this heaven-defying Immortal Crossing Art, was completely guided into the coffin that had been suppressed for countless millennia.
From the inside of the coffin, it began to bombard these tens of thousands of Universal Sky Locks.
"Rumble!!!"
"Rumble!!!"
Lightning and golden light flashed, the heavens and earth seemed to be in turmoil, and the feeling of heaven and earth rejecting them descended repeatedly.
Chen Jiuyang, on the other hand, used this opportunity to thoroughly familiarize himself with the power of the ninth heaven of the Emperor realm.
The Dao power, vast like a surging river and sea, carried the power of the two origin Daos, Yuan and Wu.
By virtue of the words ‘Yuan’ and ‘Wu’, Chen Jiuyang began to vaguely sense that he could create many distinctly different divine powers.
The more origin Dao power one possessed, the more they could create heaven-defying divine powers like ‘The myriad races of the mortal world fear me as heaven’ and ‘Past and future, no immortals at this moment’.
How such heaven-defying divine powers were created was influenced by the power of origin Daos.
When cultivation reached this stage, it was to directly aim for the core of all power, Dao power. In the river of martial arts, there were eighty-one stars. When those eighty-one stars were lit, one would become an Emperor Immortal.
Between nine and thirty-six stars was the Martial Dao Red Dust Immortal realm. Between thirty-six and eighty-one was the Immortal King realm.
Eighty-one was Emperor Immortal!
This world-ending lightning tribulation lasted for half a month before dissipating. Chen Jiuyang’s internal Dao power surged.
The tens of thousands of Universal Sky Locks were also destroyed by half. With the Dao power and Dao Fruits that Princess ‘Shi Le’ had absorbed in the Nine Nether Myriad Tombs, the remaining half of the Universal Sky Locks could no longer hold.
Pink mist suddenly permeated the entire Immortal Falling Cliff.
At this moment, Chen Jiuyang saw Princess ‘Shi Le’s’ true form!
