Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

“Buzz…”

Just as everyone was trembling with fear, suddenly, a loud, bright sound came from the jade slip. Upon hearing this sound, all the images in everyone's minds disappeared as if bubbles had burst.

“Puff!”

At that moment, everyone felt their blood churn and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

“Humph!”

Chen Tian watched all of this expressionlessly, and after a cold snort, he quickly formed a hand seal and pressed it on the jade slip in front of him. Instantly, a red beam of light as thick as a forearm shot out from the jade slip and into the sky.

“Rumble!”

As soon as this red beam of light shot out, a mass of red tribulation clouds immediately gathered in the sky, with streaks of dragon-shaped lightning wandering within, exuding a powerful aura between their breaths!

“Bang!”

This aura was beyond form, as if it had solidified into substance. As it burst apart, the surrounding boulders and fragments were all crushed into powder!

Although everyone present had cultivation levels above the凝海境 (Ning Hai Realm), under this aura, their faces were filled with horror and their hearts trembled. At this moment, they were like ants, shivering before the powerful might.

Among them, the most horrified were probably Nie Tianzun and Kong Lingzi. Both of them had seen筑天境 (Zhu Tian Realm) cultivators and fought against them. But now, seeing this tribulation cloud and the dragons and tigers leaping within the lightning, they were horrified to discover that the aura emitted by any筑天境 (Zhu Tian Realm) cultivator was far less than one ten-thousandth of this tribulation cloud.

Under the aura of this tribulation cloud, the two felt the spiritual power within their bodies boiling uncontrollably, as if worshiping those red lightning bolts.

Earlier, everyone was quite disdainful and contemptuous after hearing Chen Tian's words, but in this instant, everyone suddenly changed their minds. They were shocked to discover that perhaps it was really as Chen Tian said, he really had the ability to defeat or even kill Nie Tianzun and Kong Lingzi!

As soon as this thought arose, everyone couldn't help but shudder, and their gazes towards Chen Tian became even more horrified.

“How about it, two seniors, do you still want to come and try?”

Under the reflection of the red tribulation cloud, Chen Tian's face was also blood-red, making him look like a九幽 (Jiu You) killing god, majestic and extraordinary!

And every word he said was like a thunderclap, violently exploding in the minds of Nie Tianzun and Kong Lingzi.

The two no longer dared to underestimate Chen Tian. They really did not expect that Chen Tian, such a small凝海境 (Ning Hai Realm) early-stage cultivator, would have such a powerful magic weapon.

“Brother Nie, do you think that red cloud in the sky might be the legendary Heavenly Tribulation?” After being horrified for a while, Kong Lingzi seemed to have thought of something, suddenly spoke, and whispered to Nie Tianzun.

“What? Heavenly Tribulation?” Nie Tianzun, who was still immersed in deep fear, was immediately horrified after hearing Kong Lingzi's words: “It is said that the Heavenly Dao will only send down Heavenly Tribulation when treasures of extraordinary power or experts who can defy fate are born, and after the collapse of the Ancient Immortal Realm, Heavenly Tribulation has not descended on the乾元 (Qian Yuan) Continent for tens of thousands of years. Are you really sure that this thing is Heavenly Tribulation?”

Nie Tianzun was truly horrified. He knew that the appearance of Heavenly Tribulation meant that something had made the Heavenly Dao feel afraid. As a means of self-defense, the Heavenly Dao sent down Heavenly Tribulation, attempting to destroy them.

According to legend, in ancient times, there was a gifted and extraordinary cultivator named Xing Yunzi. When he was still in his mother's womb, he could cultivate on his own by absorbing the spiritual power of heaven and earth, and as soon as he was born, he already had the境界 (Realm) of引灵 (Yin Ling). After that, his cultivation level began to soar at a terrifying rate. He reached聚灵 (Ju Ling) at the age of seven,化泉 (Hua Quan) at the age of ten, and cultivated to凝海境 (Ning Hai Realm) in less than fifty years.

Although Li Qianyun was known as the pride of heaven and a cultivation genius, compared to this Xing Yunzi, she was truly insignificant.

It can be said that the appearance of this person subverted everyone's concepts, making them understand how important it is to have good cultivation aptitude.

In the beginning, the cultivation world advocated equality for all, that everyone could cultivate immortality, and tried to achieve a beautiful境界 (Realm) of human utopia.

But after this person was born, everything was subverted.

In other words, tens of millions of years later, the reason why Chen Tian was discriminated against in the仙羽 (Xian Yu) Sect and called a waste was actually indirectly related to that genius Xing Yunzi.

Of course, these are all stories for later. Speaking of that Xing Yunzi, since he stepped into the凝海境 (Ning Hai Realm), his cultivation speed not only did not decrease, but became even more violent. Finally, when he was a hundred years old, he broke through to the筑天境 (Zhu Tian Realm).

Reaching the筑天境 (Zhu Tian Realm) at only a hundred years old was definitely a great feat unprecedented and unmatched. Therefore, in the praise and admiration of everyone, Xing Yunzi's state of mind was gradually disrupted.

Like Li Qianyun, excellent talent meant that he had less experience and insufficient tempering, which made his mind unstable and easily led him astray.

That Xing Yunzi was surrounded by praise and compliments every day, and he inevitably became a little arrogant. Finally, when he officially stepped into the筑天境 (Zhu Tian Realm) and held a grand celebration banquet, an unexpected thing happened.

On that day, there were fresh flowers, fine wine, and guests from all sides, which was very lively. Just as everyone was complacently complimenting him, Xing Yunzi couldn't help but feel heroic, drew his sword and walked to the center of the square, pointed to the sky and shouted: “When I have cultivated to completion, I will definitely defy fate, kill the Heavenly Dao, and thus jump out of reincarnation and be carefree for all ages!”

Xing Yunzi's words were full of his infinite heroism and power. As soon as he spoke, it formed a whirlwind, rushing straight to the top of the sky, causing the wind and clouds to change color and all things to crawl.

What everyone never expected was that Xing Yunzi's words 'kill the Heavenly Dao' really made Heaven feel threatened, so immediately a red tribulation cloud gathered, and thousands of thunder tribulations descended from the nine heavens, killing Xing Yunzi.

Unfortunately, that Xing Yunzi, as the number one genius in history, after resisting a few thunder tribulations, finally fell in an unwilling roar.

And from then on, whenever there were treasures or strange people born, which made Heaven feel threatened, this Heavenly Tribulation would descend, taking the opportunity to kill them before their wings were fully developed.

Cultivators defy the heavens to cultivate immortality, but who can really understand how much blood and tears are contained in the two words 'defy the heavens'?

After recalling such a legend in his mind, Nie Tianzun retracted his thoughts and looked at Chen Tian again, with a trace of fear on his face!
