Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan
Chapter 894 - 900: Horror

Chapter 894: Chapter 900: Horror

Li Zhirui’s arrival as an outsider caught the attention of quite a few disciples, especially since he stood at the very front, able to observe the Tribulation Transcendence up close, stirring quite a bit of discussion among the crowd.

The Elders, however, were aware of Li Zhirui, all of them greeting him with smiles and nods as he passed by.

"So many people have come even before it has begun?" Li Zhirui was somewhat surprised.

Zhen Yunzi explained with a smile, "The Sect hasn’t experienced an Ascension in decades, so naturally, everyone is eager."

Li Zhirui fell silent at once—just a few short decades! To the disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, it seemed exceedingly long.

From this statement, one could also deduce how profound the foundation of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect was.

And in the Central Region, there are several forces with strength not far off from theirs. A few more, albeit slightly weaker, wouldn’t that mean there are people undergoing the Ascension Tribulation every year in the Central Region?

Upon calculating in his mind, Li Zhirui felt astonished; throughout his many years in the Eastern Region, he had hardly ever heard of any Ascensions!

One should know that the Ascension Tribulation is immense, visible within tens of miles, with the thunder even noticeable to those a hundred miles away—impossible to hide.

"Truly a place favored by the Heavenly Dao, where Spiritual Energy converges," Li Zhirui commented with a smile, referring to both the Ten Thousand Swords Sect and the Central Region.

But Zhen Yunzi didn’t ponder over it too much, simply assuming he was praising the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, his face inadvertently wearing a touch of pride.

The crowd didn’t have to wait long before Dao Tong appeared swiftly.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist!"

Dao Tong spotted Li Zhirui at first glance, flew up to him, and gave a formal bow, saying, "I was busy healing earlier and didn’t get the chance to thank you right away, so I’ve come to express my gratitude."

"You overstate the case, Senior!" Li Zhirui exclaimed, quickly bowing in response.

How could he, before tens of thousands of cultivators of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, accept such a grand gesture from a chief true disciple?!

Regardless of whether Li Zhirui truly saved Dao Tong’s life, to outsiders, he was merely a Cultivator at the middle stage of Divine Transformation.

Suddenly, the originally curious gazes turned solemn and sharp, all focusing on Li Zhirui.

"Hehe, Dao Tong has been disrespectful, I hope you can forgive him," Grand Peak said with a laugh, noticing Li Zhirui’s embarrassment and opening his mouth to smooth things over.

"The Senior jokes," Li Zhirui replied.

With Grand Peak’s seniority intervening, it indeed made Li Zhirui feel much more at ease.

"Dao Tong, go prepare for your Tribulation."

"Yes, Master Uncle."

Dao Tong flew back to the mountain peak, standing proudly among the clouds. After closing his eyes for a moment, his whole body exuded a rainbow-like imposing aura, soaring into the sky, like a sharp sword intent on piercing through Tianqiong.

Boom—

The sky thundered loudly, as ill-omened clouds rolled in, wantonly consuming the Spiritual Energy within tens of miles to bolster themselves, the dark clouds spreading over ten miles, thunder roaring, lightning racing, creating an apocalyptic sight.

Even several tens of miles away, where Li Zhirui and other cultivators stood, the sky turned dim and pitch-black.

Crack!

Only a quarter of an hour passed before the first Tribulation Thunder was ready, a colossal pillar of lightning like a primal beast intent on devouring Dao Tong.

Dao Tong raised the Qing Feng in his hand, and with a slash just like his everyday sword practice, his Sword Qi followed, colliding with the Tribulation Thunder.

That seemingly nonthreatening Sword Qi, effortlessly shattered the Tribulation Thunder!

Li Zhirui was astonished; the grand sounds are the least heard, the large figure the least seen—Dao Tong’s Sword Dao must have already reached a pinnacle!

’Is this solely Dao Tong’s own skill, or do all those who Ascend from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect have such techniques?’

Li Zhirui glanced through the corner of his eye to see the surprise on Zhen Yunzi and others’ faces, and he understood—it must be the former.

But Li Zhirui couldn’t help but think about Dao Tong, who had endured hundreds of years of Demonic Qi’s torment, his will forged as resilient as Metal Essence and yet unable to cultivate. He could only deduce the Laws and Sword Dao, which cultivated such abilities in him.

If other cultivators could do it effortlessly, what then was the significance of the hardships Dao Tong suffered over the years?

What of being touted as the favored child of heavens? Dao Tong was the top rightful heir of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect; his talent couldn’t possibly be lacking!

Thousands of thoughts flashed by in a mere instant.

The following several Tribulation Thunders were very easily shattered by Dao Tong, as though the Ascension Tribulation was nothing out of the ordinary.

The faces of the surrounding cultivators all bore astonished expressions, to varying degrees.

"Is this really an Ascension Tribulation?" one Golden Core disciple exclaimed, voicing the doubts arising in everyone’s minds.

He had paid a great price to get through his Golden Core Tribulation; the intensity was less by dozens, if not hundreds of times compared with the Ascension Tribulation. How could it seem so easy?

Of course, he knew it was a matter of the person involved.

"So impressive!"

On Dao Tong’s person, Li Zhirui didn’t see any signs of increased difficulty in transcending the Tribulation due to a decaying physical body, which defied all logic.

Boom boom boom—

Before anyone could react, the last two Tribulation Thunders were approaching.

Dao Tong took them on seriously for the first time, yet his treasured sword remained simple and unadorned, devoid of any flamboyant techniques, just a plain slash downward.

Sword Qi collided with the Tribulation Thunder, which wasn’t easily cleaved this time. Thunder Light scattered in every direction like splendid and colorful fireworks, fading away as quickly as they appeared.

The last Tribulation Thunder brewed for a full quarter of an hour. When it descended, the sky seemed to tear open a massive rift, and thunder poured down, forming a waterfall of Tribulation Thunder.

Dao Tong’s eyes glittered brilliantly, looking as if he had met his match. He became invigorated, his treasured sword radiating Spirit Light. Yet, what he unleashed was an unremarkable Sword Qi.

The Sword Qi, merely three feet long, sped forth, instantly engulfed by the waterfall, but Dao Tong nonchalantly sheathed his treasured sword.

In the next moment, to the astonishment of the spectators, the waterfall exploded with a bang, scattering Thunder Light in all directions.

When the blinding Thunder Light finally faded, those low-rank cultivators glimpsed a Sword Qi in the sky that exuded a terrifying aura!

"Wow!"

The crowd erupted into overwhelming surprise and cheers.

Li Zhirui watched the Sword Qi with a grave expression, realizing that if he were to face it, his only chance of survival, apart from retreating into space, would be nonexistent!

With a single sword strike, capable of slaying one at the Divine Transformation!

And judging from Dao Tong’s condition, this was likely not his ultimate trump card but a technique he could use repeatedly!

"Eh?"

Li Zhirui muttered, "Why hasn’t the Heart Demon manifested yet?"

Without the Heart Demon, one could not be said to have successfully transcended the Thunder Tribulation.

"Since you refuse to show yourself, you might as well just die!" Dao Tong said coldly, using his finger as a sword, releasing several strands of Sword Qi towards a place in The Void.

These strands of Sword Qi wove into a sword net, trapping a mass of dark Qi within it.

This was the Heart Demon that should have been impeding Dao Tong!

The sword net closed in, the Heart Demon emitting pitiful howls as it struggled, ultimately dissipating into a wisp of black smoke.

"Can one transcend the Heart Demon Tribulation like this?" Li Zhirui’s mind was blown away watching this Tribulation; it was truly an eye-opening experience!

The Heart Demon actually feared him! It dared not show itself, only to meet its demise in the end regardless.
