Chapter 163: Chapter 162: No More Pretense, We Are All at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage

Translator: 549690339

The Daoist Master of Heavenly Mandate looked up at the several powerful figures fighting like gods, a chilling sensation seeping into his heart.

He first recalled if he had said anything that could have offended others, then he started contemplating who he should appoint as the next Master of Sky Mechanism Tower, and finally, pondered on to whom he should hand his last will and testament.

“… Esteemed Masters, thank you for your continued hard work and dedication.

By the time you read this letter, I might have already…”

At this moment, the audience didn’t pay any mind to what Daoist Master of Heavenly Mandate was doing. Their eyes were riveted on the rare battle unfolding above.

Moreover, a battle at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage was definitely not something that the Daoist Master of Heavenly Mandate could commentate on.

They marvelled in their hearts, the conference hosted by the Zhou dynasty was indeed extraordinary. Watching Nascent Soul Stage fights, and then witnessing it turn into a Transcendence Tribulation Stage melee, it was well worth the trip.

The experience was amazing. They would love to be part of the audience again next time.

It wasn’t just the spectators below the stage. The four Tribulation Crossing

Cultivators who were just one step shy from becoming immortals, were engaged in a tierce battle in the cosmos. With an earth-shaking momentum akin to the apocalypse, it was a sight visible to the entire Tianyuan Emperor

Dynasty.

However, the others didn’t know what had happened.

Lü Kai, a disciple of Sky Mechanism Tower, was gripping a news report, trembling uncontrollably.

These past few days, he had been trailing behind the four, recording interviews. Watching them joking with each other, he initially thought they were only jesting. But now, in retrospection, those might be the big secrets that even the Sky Mechanism Tower dared not master.

As a mere disciple of the Sky Mechanism Tower, could he live to see another day if he knew about it?

He had to quickly find the Tower Master and beg for his life.

“Now that you’ve reached the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, how do you explain it?” Bai Hongtu’s Formation was suppressing the environment, its runes dazzling, making even the nearby stars shine brighter.

“Aren’t you at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage too?” Being unable to come up with an excuse, the Sword Monarch questioned Bai Hongtu back. He didn’t believe Bai Hongtu could fabricate a convincing lie.

“A while ago, I integrated with the Tribulation Crossing soul within me, awakened my past wisdom, and sublimated my spirit platform, hence easily reaching the Transcendence Tribulation Stage.”

“…Fine, you’re a good liar.”

Bai Hongtu’s smugness was apparent: “Blabbering nonsense comes naturally to me. Even Jiang Li had to take a back seat. Do you really think minor issues like this can stump me?”

There was no sound transmission in the cosmos. The two were conversing through telepathy.

What was there to be proud of? The Sword Monarch was at a loss for words. He swung his sword to attack the enemy, causing countless stars to be affected by the surge of Sword Qi, breaking them in half to reveal their cores and magma, which then exploded.

Empowered by Yu Yin’s national luck, she had the protection of a wish-fulfilling gourd, and utilized her strongest means. Empress over everything, with icy passion in her eyes, her noble and inviolable demeanor made one willing to surrender.

Li Er manifested his Dharma Appearance, which was so gigantic it was indescribable.

Li Er’s Dharma Appearance was him himself.

The Body-incorporating Sect emphasized the understanding of the Universe and all its creatures, their constant transformation, and the eventual setting of one’s Dharma Appearance into their perception of the strongest form.

Initially, he wanted to fashion Jiang Li as his Dharma Appearance, but owing to Jiang Li’s formidable power that surpassed his abilities, he could not form Jiang Li’s Dharma Appearance for a long time.

So, Li Er opted for another solution and chose himself as his Dharma Appearance.

Although he didn’t reach the bragging point of stars being like dust in his eyes. His Dharma Appearance was massive enough that stars were coiled around his waist, like decorative ornaments.

Li Er grabbed a star in his hand, compressed it into a twenty-meter radius earth ball with a firm squeeze. The Tianyuan Emperor Dynasty World had no special name for such earth balls, but Jiang Li knew its specific term.

In his previous life, the earth balls were called neutron stars, which had a terrifying density, and they were a step away from becoming a black hole.

However, even a black hole had little effect on a cultivator at the Body

Integration Realm. It’s not that the physical bodies of cultivators at the Body Integration Realm were so sturdy, but it was because the cultivators at the Body Integration Realm had achieved unity of body and form, heart and mind. As long as their mind didn’t scatter, and intention didn’t waver; a black hole couldn’t move them.

Only when one ascends to the level of an Immortal, would one truly achieve the eternal existence of their physical body. They would then become immune to a black hole’s devouring property.

Due to this reason, Li Er didn’t use his additional power to form a black hole. He just compressed the star to the extent of a neutron star and hurled it towards Yu Yin.

A white-colored flame ignited from using spiritual energy as a fuel. It burned fiercely, and its scorching temperature could be felt even in the freezing cosmos.

More than a hundred thousand years ago, a True Phoenix in Tianzhou had burned itself during its tribulation to immortality, in order to achieve rebirth from flames. It had left behind a cluster of white flames in Tianzhou, which was just a hint of the fire in the Phoenix’s Third Eye.

This was a real Immortal Fire.

Later, it was accidentally obtained by Yu Yin, who was then a candidate for the Human Emperor.

The white fire collided with the neutron star, resulting in a big explosion, visibly releasing shockwaves, causing the nearby stars to deviate from their trajectory.

Li Er noticed a pattern of virtual lines, crisscrossing like a chessboard, appearing beneath his feet.

Tianyuan Emperor Dynasty’s National luck—Tianyuan Chessboard.

Delicate hands clutching onto a chess piece, a massive star fell, hurtling towards Li Er. Li Er easily dodged it and kicked it back at Yu Yin.

“I am the captain of the Body-incorporating Sect’s kickball team!”

Li Er was often organizing kickball games among the Body Integration Realm elders by deploying their Dharma Appearances in the cosmos. But they always chose a location far away from Tianzhou continent, hence not many knew about it.

Yu Yin didn’t respond. She continued to make her moves, pouring down massive stars. If this were to happen on Tianzhou, it would inevitably cause terrifying waves, toppling mountains, and it could obliterate everything in sight, the casualty would be unimaginable.

This method could only be used in the cosmos.

The wish-fulfilling gourd spewed out the fire tribulation from the four major tribulations of earth, fire, wind, and thunder. It combined with Yu Yin’s white fire, igniting the fury in Li Er’s heart.

Li Er felt as though the Ignorance Karma Fire was burning in his heart, his organs felt as though they were being roasted on a fire.

However, he had long cultivated a Subtle Body, with identical internal and external defenses, hence this type of attack didn’t have a strong impact on him.

He returned to his original size, forcefully swinging his fists, Yu Yin went head-on. Their fists and feet clashed, bruising and wounding each other.

Bai Hongtu and the Sword Sovereign’s swords clashed. The Sword Qi was incessant, and even space was shaking, seeming to crumble.

The Sword Sovereign was taken aback. Bai Hongtu was actually contesting with him using pure Sword Dao, without resorting to any other means.

“With such a talent in Sword Dao, why aren’t you focusing on mastering Sword Dao, instead of learning about runes and formations?”

Bai Hongtu grinned, “If I don’t study the runes and formations, who will set up the Nine Provinces Guardian Formation? Will you do it?”

“… My apologies.”

The Sword Sovereign continued his sword move without any reduction in force, instead, it became more and more fierce.

Tianzhou, Observing Stars Sect.

The Observing Stars Sect Master was crying into his hands. The founding principle of their sect was to observe the trajectories of stars and predict the changes in Humanity Dao. Now, the star trajectories near the Tianzhou

continent linder went earth -shaking changes- How would they observe the

stars now?

Cursing their sect for not having a single Body Integration Realm cultivator. Otherwise, he would have voiced his opinion at the conference, suggesting the establishment of a Stars Protection Association and accusing those four careless Transcendence Tribulation Stage cultivators who were taking the lives of stars lightly!

Didn’t stars have lives too!

“Master, how about we change our sect’s name and principle?” a disciple suggested. There were hundreds of Body Integration Realm cultivators on the Tianzhou continent. Although none were exaggerated like those four, even moving the stars or blasting planets was possible. In such circumstances, the master’s insistence on establishing the Observing Stars Sect seemed a little unwise.

Had he been too hasty in joining the sect?

“Change to what?”

“Observing Mahayana Sect. Observe the trajectory of Mahayana, and predict changes in Humanity Dao.”

“… Get out.”

“Alright..”
