Chapter 191: Twelfth Stage Soul Transformation Realm, "Three Thousand Thunders" (Part 2)

Tribulation clouds only inflict damage on the lifeforms undergoing the tribulation.

They completely ignore arrays.

Nor do they cause damage to buildings, unlike the heavenly punishment that had once turned the entire Evil Province into dust in Quzhou.

Many were unaware of what had transpired and had come only upon sensing the anomaly, their Divine Senses colliding and communicating with one another.

Soon, they learned the cause and effect of the situation.

Chen Qiu had broken through to the Divine Transformation stage and was undergoing the Annihilation Thunder Tribulation within the core area of the Three Spring Tower, and this tribulation cloud was his Thunder Tribulation, dragging everyone in the Three Spring Tower along to face the tribulation together.

".

In the mountain behind the Three Spring Tower, Chen Qiu sat cross-legged in mid-air, slowly opening his eyes to survey his surroundings.

Not a single living person was in sight.

Or rather, not even a corpse could be seen, as they had all been turned to dust by the Thunder Tribulation.

"Not bad."

Chen Qiu smiled with satisfaction, gazing at the floating storage rings in the air around him. The Thunder Tribulation was considerate enough not to strike the storage rings, leaving him with plenty of items.

Moreover, the Three Spring Tower itself remained largely undamaged, and he could leisurely collect his spoils after the tribulation was over.

The accumulated wealth of the Three Spring Tower over the years would now belong to him.

As for the Thunder Tribulation, although it possessed immense power, it couldn't inflict even a scratch on him. With nearly 200 billion Virtue Points protecting his body, he didn't even feel a tingle.

He just felt a bit bored.

Sitting here, he had nothing to do.

After an unknown amount of time, the Thunder Tribulation finally ceased, and the tribulation cloud gradually dissipated. Chen Qiu felt his body become significantly lighter.

The Spirit Energy within his Dantian became even more vast and dense.

Above his Nascent Soul in the Dantian, "Thunder Patterns" covered its surface, intertwining with the engraved Entry names, making his Nascent Soul resemble a body covered in tattoos.

It exuded a unique and distinctive beauty.

His cultivation panel also underwent a change:

Cultivation: First Layer of Divine Transformation (0%).

He had finally reached the first layer of the Divine Transformation stage. Just as the tribulation cloud was about to dissipate, a Heavenly Path Edict resounded throughout the Xuantian Continent:

Heavenly Path Edict: Heavenly Yingxing, in the Central Province of the Xuantian Continent, the Human Race Cultivator, Chen Qiu, the Sect Master of the Mock Heaven Sect, the Celestial Sage, the Heavenly Dao Villain, the Guardian Deity of the Human Race, and the Peerless Prodigy, has successfully passed through the Annihilation Thunder Tribulation!

The first Celestial Prodigy in the history of the Xuantian Continent to pass through the Annihilation Thunder Tribulation!

Bestowed upon him is a strand of Heavenly Thunder Might, may all living beings take this as a lesson.

".

Chen Qiu was slightly startled and, upon examining his Dantian, saw two strands of purple-blue Heavenly Thunder swirling around his Nascent Soul.

Treasure Name: A Strand of Heavenly Thunder Might

Acquisition Source: Obtained as a reward for achieving a special and astonishing feat, such as receiving a Heavenly Path Edict.

Usage Effect:

1. Consuming a strand of Heavenly Thunder Might can significantly enhance the power of a Lightning-type spell, infusing it with Heavenly Thunder Might.

The effect was simple and powerful.

Chen Qiu couldn't help but smile as he looked at the two strands of Heavenly Thunder Might. Currently, he only possessed the Lightning Summoning Art, a common spell from the Foundation Establishment stage, and now he had an additional one.

Unbelievable.

At this rate, he might use the Lightning Summoning Art, a Foundation Establishment stage spell, all the way to the Peak Divine Transformation stage or even the Essence Refinement stage.

This might be a case of quality over quantity when it comes to offensive abilities.

Mastering one technique is better than knowing ten.

With the Lightning Summoning Art, he could dominate the world.

He had just nominated it once, and with one more nomination, he could complete another Milestone Task.

Then, he released his Divine Sense, spreading it outward from the Three Spring Tower without any attempt to conceal it. Numerous Divine Transformation stage Cultivators were waiting several dozen li away, but upon sensing Chen Qiu's Divine Sense, they all chose to remain silent and made no move.

"There are quite a few people here," Chen Qiu said, raising his eyebrows slightly. He then used a strand of Heavenly Thunder Might to enhance the Lightning Summoning Art once more before releasing Ao Tian and the members of the Mock Heaven Sect.

It was time to reap the rewards.

"Is it over?"

Ao Tian returned to his human form and stood in place, gazing at the empty ground around him, muttering in a post-tribulation daze, "I finally understand why there's a term called 'post-tribulation survival.'"

"This is truly a post-tribulation survival."

The Thunder Tribulation was even more powerful than he had imagined. It was a pity there was no Essence Refinement Cultivator present; otherwise, he would have liked to see if they could withstand it.

2.9 billion Sin Points, plus a Twelfth Rank Nascent Soul.

From the beginning, this Thunder Tribulation had been aimed at killing Chen Qiu. However, Chen Qiu relied on his nearly 200 billion Virtue Points to withstand it without a single hair harmed.

This proved one thing.

Those with heavy sins will indeed be struck by thunder, but if one's Virtue Points are numerous enough, they can completely offset their sins.

"Hmm."

Chen Qiu smiled at Ao Tian, "It's time to reap the fruits of victory. You all can handle things here; I'll go and comprehend the 'Boundless Essence Domain' Divine Transformation Realm Totem and later test its effects on the Divine Transformation Cultivators nearby."

The next moment!

Chen Qiu crushed the 'Boundless Essence Domain' Divine Transformation Realm Totem, and countless white light dots floated into his mind.

Sitting cross-legged in mid-air, Chen Qiu gradually closed his eyes.

He began to enter a state of comprehension.

".

Outside the Three Spring Tower in the Central Province, the Divine Transformation Cultivators' Divine Senses collided and conversed silently in the air, their expressions calm, but their minds were in disarray.

"Is the Three Spring Tower really gone? It was a sect with a long heritage; it can't just disappear like this, can it?"

"Is there even a need to ask? With that heavenly thunder, do you think the Half-step Essence Refinement Cultivator from the Three Spring Tower could withstand it?"

"So what if it's a long-standing heritage? Isn't the Evil Race's heritage even longer, and they couldn't withstand it either?"

"Isn't Chen Qiu a bit too ruthless? Don't you feel any sense of crisis?"

"No, as long as I don't provoke him, I don't believe he'll kill me for no reason. It was the Three Spring Tower that started the 'Kill Qiu Banquet' that brought this upon themselves."

".

In an instant!

Countless Divine Senses collided in the air, and after confirming that the Three Spring Tower had been completely destroyed, they were all shocked. Just then—

The person in charge of the top-tier sect, Green Mountain Palace, from the Central Province, had appeared without anyone noticing.

At the peak of Divine Transformation cultivation.

He was the one who initiated peace talks between the Human Race and the Demon Clan.

As soon as he appeared, his face was calm and his voice was low, "You all must have been scared witless by Chen Qiu. A Twelfth Rank Nascent Soul and 2.9 billion sin points are normal for triggering such a tribulation."

"Don't panic."

"That's a tribulation, not Chen Qiu's own ability."

"Although we don't know what method Chen Qiu used to pass this tribulation, he's definitely at his weakest now. With us gathered here, let's go together and we can definitely eradicate this prophesied menace!"

". . ."

After his words, the crowd of Divine Transformation cultivators surrounding Three Spring Tower suddenly fell silent. After a long while, one of the cultivators, without a word, shot off into the distance.

He left behind a single sentence.

"The plan is good, but I'm going into seclusion. Contact me after a hundred years if needed."

With the first person taking the lead, the second and third Divine Transformation cultivators also shot off into the distance.

"I'm also going into seclusion."

"Add one more."

"And another."

In the blink of an eye!

The numerous Divine Transformation cultivators who had gathered outside Three Spring Tower instantly scattered in all directions, disappearing from their original spots within a few breaths!

". . ."

The elder from Green Mountain Palace, his face darkening, watched the dispersing cultivators with a hint of unease in his heart. The death of the Half-step Essence Refinement cultivator from Three Spring Tower had shaken his confidence.

Should he go back and ask the Patriarch for help?

But after a moment's hesitation, he gritted his teeth. Chen Qiu had just survived the tribulation, and he was definitely at his weakest now. If they missed this opportunity, it wouldn't be easy to find another!

Moreover, it was a tribulation, not Chen Qiu's ability.

What was there to fear?

As a Peak Divine Transformation cultivator, suppressing one who had just broken through to Divine Transformation should be easy. He glanced back at the three Divine Transformation elders behind him, pondering briefly before making up his mind. He was determined to eradicate Chen Qiu's menace from the world!

Then, leading several Divine Transformation elders from Green Mountain Palace, he shot towards Three Spring Tower!

A hundred li away.

An elder in a Daoist robe sighed lightly, rubbing his temples with a sense of helplessness, "I really thought Three Spring Tower had some extraordinary ability."

He was the Grand Elder of Profound Heaven Sect.

The Profound Heaven Sect had gone into seclusion, but when they heard that Three Spring Tower vowed to kill Chen Qiu that night, he thought they might actually have the capability.

If Chen Qiu died, the Profound Heaven Sect wouldn't need to stay in seclusion.

Now it seemed they had to continue their seclusion.

It had to be said that the Patriarch was indeed wise. This prophecy he left behind, you wouldn't believe it, but it's actually quite useful.

As long as they hide in their mini universe.

He didn't believe it.

Could Chen Qiu infiltrate their mini universe? He shook his head, preparing to return to the Profound Heaven Sect. As for those Green Mountain Palace Divine Transformation elders, he didn't have high hopes for them. They'll probably return empty-handed."

People like Chen Qiu have a heavenly mandate.

Killing such a person is extremely difficult.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone into seclusion directly. If the Essence Refinement Patriarch had just killed Chen Qiu, wouldn't it have been much simpler? They said they were going into seclusion for a hundred years, but now it seems it'll be at most three to five years. Once Chen Qiu has wreaked enough havoc on the Xuantian Continent, they can come out.

Just hiding for three to five years.

It's not a big problem.

At this moment—

An ancient and ethereal voice suddenly sounded in his ear!

-

"Heavenly Path Edict": The Heavenly Dao senses that in the Central Province of the Xuantian Continent, the Human Race's Heaven-defying Sect Master, Celestial Sage, Heavenly Dao Villain, Guardian Deity of the Human Race, and Peerless Prodigy Chen Qiu, with his peerless prowess, has forged the 'Twelfth Stage Soul Transformation Realm' and attained the supreme Divine Transformation!

This feat is unprecedented in history and will never be surpassed.

He is bestowed with 'A Strand of Celestial Prodigy Fortune' and 'A Divine Transformation Domain Token', a guide for all living beings. Observe in peace, and do not follow his example.

-

". . ."

The Grand Elder of Profound Heaven Sect, who was about to leave, twitched his lips again. Without hesitation, he shot towards the direction of the Profound Heaven Sect's hidden mini universe.

The Twelfth Stage Soul Transformation Realm.

A little scary.

And at that moment—

Inside Three Spring Tower.

The Peak Divine Transformation elder from Green Mountain Palace, his face twisted in rage, led a group of Divine Transformation elders towards the tower, gazing at Chen Qiu, who was seated cross-legged in the air. In an instant, he activated the Eighth Stage Divine Transformation Domain, "Ice Frost for a Thousand Li."

Dense coldness enveloped the entire Three Spring Tower, and countless snowflakes fell from the sky to the ground. Just as they were about to strike and kill Chen Qiu—

They heard the sound of the Heavenly Path Edict in their ears.

They froze in place, a hint of bewilderment flashing in their eyes.

Ten... Twelfth Rank?

Soul Transformation Realm?

The next moment—

He felt as if the Divine Transformation Realm he had just activated had instantly turned to dust.

"Are you here for a visit?"

Chen Qiu, seated cross-legged in the air, opened his eyes after activating the Twelfth Stage Soul Transformation Realm, "Infinite Spirit Energy," and smiled gently at the crowd frozen in midair.

In front of the Twelfth Rank Realm, the Eighth Rank Realm, once activated, would be instantly annihilated.

The rank of the realm is not determined by cultivation level.

A difference of three ranks means absolute suppression, regardless of cultivation.

In the presence of the Twelfth Rank Realm, all realms below the Tenth Rank will be annihilated, and he hadn't even used the "Ascension Token of Divine Transformation."

After ascending, the Tenth Rank Realm would also be absolutely suppressed and annihilated.

The Peak Divine Transformation is indeed formidable, but it's not something he can contend with at the First Rank Divine Transformation. However, without their realms, the Peak Divine Transformation cultivators are not as threatening.

Moreover...

He wasn't alone, and he wasn't the only one with a realm.

At some point, Ao Tian appeared beside Chen Qiu, looking at the Green Mountain Palace's Peak Divine Transformation elder, whose realm was absolutely suppressed, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Do you remember me?"

"Why aren't you activating your realm?"

Then—

A Nascent Soul that resembled Chen Qiu by thirty percent slowly floated beside Chen Qiu, and in the astonished gaze of the Green Mountain Palace's Peak Divine Transformation elder, he activated a second realm.

The Twelfth Stage Soul Transformation Realm, "Three Thousand Thunder Movement"!
