Chapter 816: The Human Immortal Tribulation

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Zhou Bao had considered the idea of infusing the Law of Power into his Five Kinds of Qi, but he had not made up his mind yet. To his surprise, this time the Primordial Sword Spirit made the decision for him.

The Primordial Sword Spirit was one of his Primordial Spirits of Three Separations. He seemed to be an independent person, but in fact, he only inherited a part of Zhou Bao’s personality. Thus, he was a little bigoted, always acted on a whim instead of thinking through the best possible consequences of his actions and was like a man with a complete personality. Because of his impulsive action, Zhou Bao had to place a gamble on the Law of Power.

Seeing that Zhou Bao had added the Law of Power into his Qi, the other two primordial spirits naturally did not hesitate any more. They both grabbed a Law of Power and integrated it into their own Qi.

They spent a long period refining the Qi in this way. When they opened their eyes again, they found that each of them was holding a fine string of Qi, which was one of the Five Kinds of Qi they had refined.

After the refining of the four out of the Five Kinds of Qi was successful, Zhou Bao heaved a sigh of relief. However, there was more work to be done. Due to the mental connections among Zhou Bao and his three primordial spirits, the balance of the four of the Five Kinds of Qi they collected and refined was perfect. But now, they had to refine the fifth kind of Qi, the Earth Qi, all at the same time. Only by doing so could they guarantee that the Earth Qi they extracted was consistent with the previous four kinds of Qi.

For Zhou Bao, everything was right on track. When the fifth kind of Qi was successfully refined, another five days had lapsed.

“It’s done!” Staring at the five jets of radiance emitted by the Five Kinds of Qi as well as the Law of Power glistening among them, Zhou Bao suddenly opened his mouth and inhaled all the five jets of radiance at one go. Meanwhile, the five damaged pieces of the Law of Power also combined into one, forming a simple but complete talisman.

Yes, it was complete!

This was the law that Zhou Bao needed, a complete talisman of the fundamental Law of Power, which was highly variable and had boundless potential. But unfortunately, right now, this law was useless to him and it did not enhance his power at all, because his current power was already too strong and exceeded the utmost power limit of a normal practitioner. He could break the most fundamental Law of Power.

Well, at least it’s not bad, we didn’t throw in any lame laws!” However, he had no idea that to the other practitioners, the Law of Power was the lamest.

“Boom!”

The moment when Zhou Bao gathered together all the Five Qis in the Chest, a clap of thunder sounded.

A tribulation was coming!

The Divine Immortal did not need to endure any tribulation, so they were also called Carefree Immortals. But Zhou Bao was not a Divine Immortal. He was a Human Immortal, who had to undergo some tribulations. Thus, when the Five Qis in the Chest assembled together, a connection with the Void Universe was made, which naturally triggered the Human Immortal Tribulation.

Zhou Bao wanted to get up when he heard the clap of thunder, but suddenly his body stiffened. At the same time, all three of his primordial spirits sensed something. The Primordial Poison Spirit and the Primordial Sword Spirit instantly turned into two streams of light and zoomed into the spot between his eyebrows; meanwhile the Primordial Fire Spirit transformed into a stream of fire and dashed into the Furnace of Immortality.

Zhou Bao’s body became rigid. He felt a cold draught of air rising from his feet, spreading all over his body and then it disappeared.

“Creak, creak, creak!”

An unknown period of time passed and Zhou Bao’s paralyzed body moved only slightly during this period.

Gradually, he regained his normal flexibility.

Was this a tribulation? A tribulation of the Human Immortal?

The inexplicable cold air appeared so abruptly that Zhou Bao was overwhelmed by it. By the time he realized what had happened, it had already vanished.

If an ordinary Earthly Immortal had encountered this air, he would have become a large chunk of ice and even his spirit would have been frozen. But Zhou Bao was different. His body contained the Mysterious Icy Divine Light which he had practiced for so long. This time the Ice Tribulation which might have killed most Human Immortals in a split second, merely made his body a little rigid. For Zhou Bao, it had been just a piece of cake.

Why did the Ice Tribulation come? Doesn’t this clearly show that they’re going to go easy on me?” Zhou Bao murmured in his mind. But before he could think this over, he was alerted by a clap of black Heavenly Thunder which suddenly descended from the hollow.

“Boom!”

A jet of light flashed behind Zhou Bao’s head, and the Flipping Sky Seal instantly emerged over him. The black thunderbolt hit the Flipping Sky Seal and the latter crumbled. Instead of backing off, the streak of thunderbolt hurtled down and crashed into Zhou Bao’s fists.

“Cool!” Zhou Bao bawled out loudly and immediately took three steps back. But surprisingly, as he retreated, the meteorite he rented was quietly reduced to ashes and dispersed in the pneuma torrents of the Central Star Area.

“What happened?”

“What’s going on there?”

“A meteorite crumbled!”

“Look! Someone is going through a tribulation. It might be the Human Immortal Tribulation!”

“Human Immortal Tribulation? How astonishing! He even blasted a meteorite!”

Although the meteorite Zhou Bao rented was located on the border of the Central Star Area, there were a lot of meteorites in its vicinity. Practitioners living on these meteorites seldom intervened in each other’s business. But when they saw a nearby meteorite suddenly reduced into dust, they naturally wanted to find out what had happened. Besides, the meteorite had an owner and was registered as the property of the Holy Alliance. Now that it had exploded unexpectedly, it would certainly draw the attention of the Holy Alliance.

“What the hell is this? They claim to be the top one influence in the Void Universe. How could they rent out such a defective place!”

The strike from the thunderbolt had caused the collapse of the meteorite. It left Zhou Bao exposed in the Void Universe and this made Zhou Bao feel very flustered

Nevertheless, he should have thought about it first. After all, he was way different from the others. Usually when a normal practitioner was about to undergo a tribulation, he would do the following in order to trigger the tribulation safely. He would surround himself in layers of formations, activate piles of celestial devices and fairy weapons, have his natal magic weapon ready, place heaps of elixirs before and behind himself and gather dozens of friends to be his protectors. Now, Zhou Bao simply incurred the tribulation by sitting on the meteorite and assembling the Five Qis in the Chest. Due to his immense strength, it was no wonder that his tribulation was so powerful.

In this practice-friendly Central Star Area there were many experts as well as practitioners enduring tribulations; therefore a meteorite crumbling during a severe tribulation was not something they had never heard of. For all practitioners, undergoing tribulations was always an unavoidable topic. After all, watching others go through their tribulations could help one acquire some experience. Plus, this kind of opportunity was not very common.

But who would be so foolish as to allow others to watch him go through his tribulations?

Well, right now, it was true that a fool was struggling through his tribulations right under the spotlight.

“Five Qis Collecting in Mind! Yes, this is the sign of the Five Qis Collecting in Mind! This man has collected the Five Kinds of Qi. No wonder his Human Immortal Tribulation came so brutally and even destroyed the meteorite. But judging by his current situation, he isn’t prepared for this. There is not a single formation—”

The onlooker could not continue with his comments. The surroundings were also immersed in total silence.

More and more people gathered around the place, while the range of the tribulation extended farther and farther.

The number of Heavenly Thunders was increasing and the affected area was expanding as well.

Much to everyone’s surprise, the mysterious Taoist started to throw one punch after another at the Heavenly Thunders. Each of his punches was powerful enough to destroy a Heavenly Thunder that could kill a Heavenly Thunder or even a Divine Immortal.

Among the hundreds of practitioners watching this deluge of thunderbolts, no one dared to guarantee that he could escape this kind of tribulation unscathed. Nor could anyone promise they could carry on after 10 strikes of the thunderbolts. However, this Taoist destroyed several hundred strikes in a short period. Judging by his expression, this seemed to be an easy job for him. After that, he rushed straight towards the thickest part of the Heavenly Thunders.

This was not something an ordinary Human Immortal or Divine Immortal could possibly achieve.

Who on earth is this man? An Earthly Immortal? Why did an Earthly Immortal come here to go through the Human Immortal Tribulation?”

Nearly all the onlookers were wondering about this at the same time.

Some practitioners of some large influences or macro worlds, who were stationed in the Central Star Area for certain special purposes, had already started to investigate the identity of this Taoist. They were all hoping to get to get to know him better.

In the Void Universe, strength was the eternal evidence of identity.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

After a series of intensive bombardment from the thunderbolts, they finally began to die down. They scattered and gradually disappeared. Just when everybody reckoned that this tribulation was over, fire suddenly erupted from the tough Taoist’s body. This fire appeared in an instant and rapidly melted the Taoist’s body, leaving only a shining golden skeleton behind.

“Yin Fire Tribulation! How could there be an extra Yin Fire Tribulation after the Thunder Tribulation?” The crowd was appalled. How could this happen in real life?

The Human Immortal Tribulation was something that all Human Immortals were supposed to endure. However, under normal circumstances, each Human Immortal only needed to go through one Human Immortal Tribulation, either the Thunder Tribulation, the Ice Tribulation, or the Yin Fire Tribulation. How did this man have two tribulations in succession? Even a Divine Immortal could not survive this, let alone a Human Immortal!

At this point, something even more peculiar occurred. The flesh of this Taoist regrew out of the Yin Fire and this Yin Fire Tribulation did not seem to have done much harm to his body. In the end, when the Taoist had fully recovered, the Yin Fire could no longer burn any piece of his attire.

“Is this really the Human Immortal Tribulation? Interesting! So amazing! But how could other Human Immortals survive this kind of Human Immortal Tribulation?” Zhou Bao also found that his Human Immortal Tribulation very unusual. Although it did not bother Zhou Bao much, if an ordinary Human Immortal had encountered such a tribulation, he would not even have known how he died in the end.

Even as he was puzzling about this, something altered in the surrounding Void Universe again, and a burst of energy suddenly pierced through the Void Universe and charged right at the spot between Zhou Bao’s eyebrows.

“Brat, go to hell!”
