The Prodigies War-Chapter 2184 Nine is the Peak, One Escapes

At the end of it, the seventh round of lightning formed a bronze casket. Blinding bolts were interlaced along its surfaces, capable of burying all heavens.

Upon seeing this, a great terror crept into the heart of everyone!

This never-before-seen and unprecedentedly powerful tribulation had actually taken on the form of a casket. This was bizarre and hair-raising, to say the least.

A casket was meant to bury the dead!

The omen of it was already unsettling.

Even Lin Xun was startled. He found this very unexpected, but before he could react, the bronze casket of lightning tribulation had already fallen onto him, trapping him inside.

Bang!

The lid closed shut. In that instant, it felt as though Heaven wanted to bury Lin Xun alive for being so heaven-defying.

Battle Emperor Fengling paled drastically. How can there be such an ominous tribulation?

Xia Zhi was silent, her clothes fluttering. She could sense that Lin Xun's aura had not vanished, but there was no way to know what kind of peril and terror he was going through in there.

“Haha, Heaven really wants him dead, specifically creating a casket to bury him. This is definitely the most special treatment anyone has ever received, ever!” gloated an old fossil.

A bronze casket descending from the sky in the midst of a tribulation was a sign of great misfortune!

The eyes of the other old Emperor monsters also drifted around sinisterly. So even the Heavens couldn’t stand the sight of this sinful remnant of Fangchun Mountain anymore and decided to deal with him?

THUD!

Very quickly, however, an intense burst of smashing sound came out from the bronze casket, followed by the casket violently shaking.

Everyone's heart jumped. He is already suppressed inside, yet he still isn’t dead?

Thud! Bang! Thud!

The following period of time was filled with dull rattling sounds from the bronze casket. They shook the stars around and caused the expressions of the old Emperor monsters to sink.

Boom!

Finally, a hole was blasted on the bronze casket. An almost broken figure staggered out of it, covered in wounds that showed white bones. He had been fatally injured and looked like he was breathing his last breaths.

However, he was ultimately still alive!

The old monsters' eyes almost leapt out from their sockets. Their cheeks burnt in humiliation.

From the moment Lin Xun had begun his tribulation, every time when they had determined that he would surely die, reality had then come as a merciless slap in their faces.

In fact, it wasn’t just a simple slap.

Because they had come in succession!

Meanwhile, what Battle Emperor Fengling was concerned about was Lin Xun's aura. It was completely different from before, now more powerful than that of an average Emperor expert. Lin Xun looked tattered and bleeding all over, but the might emanating from him was so terrifying that Fengling’s heart quivered.

However, the most inconceivable thing was that this overwhelming Emperor tribulation targeting Lin Xun had yet to show signs of ending!

Dumbfounded was the only word to describe Battle Emperor Fengling at the moment. His mind had gone blank.

The only thing he was sure of was that even if Lin Xun ultimately failed to cross this tribulation, it would still accompany his name to be recorded in the history of the nebula forever, to be remembered by the generations to come!

Lin Xun panted heavily, his black eyes like two abysses as he stared fixedly at the sky above.

Around and in him, an unbelievable metamorphosis was taking place. Every previous ordeal had been like nirvana and rebirth that completely transcended him.

Even so, Lin Xun only felt the pressure on him increasing. This supreme Emperor tribulation simply wanted to exterminate him, showing no intention to give him a single path to life at all.

The starry sky sank into a depressing and suffocating atmosphere. The ink-dark clouds tumbled. Silently, a dao seal was condensed.

Rumble!

The lightning filling the sky seemed to be pulled in that instant. They madly surged into the seal, making it more and more solid, brighter and brighter. The destructive aura diffusing from it overwhelmed both time and space.

Eventually, at the bottom of the dao seal, an enigmatic ‘Tribulation’ character appeared. Seeing it, the old onlookers shrieked out loud as they felt palpitations in their very souls.

“What kind of gargantuan tribulation is this?!”

“Tribulation becomes a dao seal, executing heavenly punishment and dispensing death!”

No one could keep their composure anymore as the shock was too big. The bronze casket earlier was already scary enough, but now there was a dao seal branded with the character ‘Tribulation’!

Not to mention a normal Emperor, even the old relics with the most profound cultivation felt chills running through their blood. They tried putting themselves in Lin Xun’s shoes, and they concluded that they would despair in the struggle to resist.

This was no normal tribulation lightning. It was a sky full of tribulation lightning compressed into a dao seal. All the power of heavenly punishment had been poured into it!

BOOM!

The seal descended, and Lin Xun, who was underneath it, had no way to escape at all as he had soon been locked in. The result was that he was blasted, to the point that all his skin cracked and all his bones were shattered.

How could one even imagine the force when the full gathering of tribulation power bombarded him?

Poof!

The spot between Lin Xun's eyebrows split open, and blood splattered out. His Will Dharma Form in the form of a furnace was shaken out of its house.

Immediately following that, the Will Dharma Form also suffered a deep impact. It immediately put Lin Xun in a situation that could not get any more dangerous.

This was the eighth round of heavenly tribulation, simply no different from a world-destroying inferno. A single dao seal had erupted into an immeasurable killing tribulation!

Lin Xun's physical body was mangled, and his primordial spirit had sustained cracks. He was like a candle in the wind that could fizzle into eternal oblivion at any moment.

“Heal!” bellowed Lin Xun, sending the Great Dao Furnace Art into operation. All the daos in his arsenal erupted and burned in the utmost effort to repair his injured body and Will Dharma Form.

One had to say that Lin Xun was incomparably powerful at this moment. His strength could overwhelm anyone around his age that had ever existed, not to mention the unprecedented dao path that he sought. Soon, everyone saw his fragmented flesh and blood converge, grow, and get mended.

However, it didn’t take long for the dao seal to continue its attack. In a loud collision, his shell was once again shattered, and his Will Dharma Form trembled violently.

Lin Xun growled. He was forced to the verge of death, but he did not give in. After he exhausted all his means to resist, his body was once again rebuilt.

The process was then repeated shortly after. His flesh cracked again, and his primordial spirit was in pieces. The sight was horrifyingly gory. It was like a hundred kinds of torture, a thousand kinds of honing.

Time and time again, Lin Xun suffered. Both his physical body and primordial spirit edged closer toward destruction.

However, it could also be seen that his flesh and blood, although dim, had gained an unspeakable power, which permeated them as they went through impact after impact.

The same applied for his primordial spirit.

This was how training was. Even though one might get decimated and struck down, enduring it until the end would possibly take them to a whole new level of strength.

Lin Xun gritted his teeth and remained unyielding as he resisted the heavenly tribulation. He had never been in such a sorry state. He had lost count of how many times he had been shaken to the point his whole body was ruptured to bits.

Every time, he had looked like he was going to fall and die. The torture alone could make anyone in the world collapse!

Everyone was flabbergasted and appalled to their core, watching Lin Xun constantly being blown up and reformed while he never stopped fighting back.

Even Xia Zhi never looked more anxious. Her heart was going through an immense torment as she watched Lin Xun get wrecked between life and death. Her eyes were bloodshot to the point they bled. Her delicate figure trembled. She looked like she wouldn’t be able to withstand this for much longer.

KABOOM!

Along with an earth-shattering explosion, the dao seal of lightning tribulation power burst open, sending out a flood of electric sparks.

Lin Xun's figure was instantly drowned out.

Shocked, many people leapt up to the highest point and peered into the distance with widened eyes.

“Is he dead?”

“His flesh was blown into powder, and his primordial spirit dispersed into the explosion. He must have fallen!”

“No, he...he...he...”

In the void, the lightning storm was swallowed up at a fast speed. Then, countless particles of blood and flesh gathered and re-coalesced, gradually forming Lin Xun.

He...was still alive!

On the Great Wall of Thousand Daos, the old monsters’ breathing became heavy, their eyes bloodshot. Even that could not kill this brat? How...just how...

How can this be possible?!

However, no matter how unwilling or unable they were to accept it, it was already a fact that Lin Xun had survived the eighth round of the great tribulation!

At this moment, the starry sky was dead silent.

Lin Xun took a deep breath and gazed up at the sky. There was not a single hint of retreat or faltering in his heart.

On the contrary, after such a series of fatal ordeals, his state of mind and will had reached a new peak of toughness.

After experiencing his body and spirit get destroyed, he was now fearless. As long as he still had a trace of thought, he would fight to the end!

On the sky dome, the tribulation clouds roared and rolled. The ninth round of lightning tribulation had arrived.

Unlike any previous one, this time the lightning wove into a beautiful brocade decree and unfolded in the air. The content was all obscure runes made of lightning law power that resembled wriggling worms.

It was like an edict of nature, filled with the majesty of the supreme Heavenly Principle!

The aura it emitted caused this piece of universe to fall into an uncanny silence. Despite the absence of all sounds, the atmosphere was incredibly oppressive.

Some of the old monsters were sweating profusely, and their knees went weak. Their dao hearts were showing signs of crumbling!

Simply terrifying!

No one could have expected a ninth round of lightning tribulation in the coalesced form of a supreme decree. What was written on it?

Regardless of what it was, everyone had realized that this calamity was even more powerful than the ‘Tribulation’ dao seal earlier.

Lin Xun's expression was unprecedentedly calm. Since this was the ninth round, he was suddenly reminded that nine was the extreme number, after which everything would return to one.

Only forty-nine of the fifty daos could be derived in the world, while one escaped.

Calculating carefully, there were nine stages of cultivation starting from the True Martial stage.

And himself, what he was facing was more than just nine rounds of tribulation, but also the threshold to the ninth cultivation stage of the Almighty Dao!

Ninety-nine returned to the only origin?

The final one escaped?

Meanwhile, on the Eternal Supremacy Path, a lotus blooms in solitude!

It was as if a divine consonance of fate was occuring.

The world was utterly quiet. The supreme decree formed with tribulation lightning was distributing a terrifying aura of destruction. The worm-like runes gleamed, and the might emanating from them put all the stars in this region and every being on them under an extreme fear.

Whether it was the far-away starry sky beasts, the group of old Emperors on the Great Wall of Thousand Daos, or even Xia Zhi who was standing alone in the distance, they felt an inexplicable throbbing in them. It was a fear from the depths of their souls and could not be controlled.

In the Underworld, Zhong Qiu once again took a deep breath. This was already the second time he had done this in a short time, but he himself was oblivious to it.

His gaze fixed on the sky above, he muttered, “Will this lotus, which is about to undergo a mortal calamity, bloom, wither, or be immortalized...?”

After a moment of silence, he said, “I believe that Master will not be wrong. I also believe that my junior brother will not disappoint!”

Xi stood quietly, waiting without a word.
