Chapter 293: Ascension Thunder Tribulation! The Ten Thousand Chariots Demon Nation! (4000 words)
Boom!
High above, a golden radiance burst forth like a firework.
For a fleeting moment, it blossomed with dazzling brilliance.
Qin Zheng's face remained calm, and with a reach, he grasped a demon core emitting a golden glow, storing it in his pouch.
Slaying a Human Immortal-level demon seemed like a trivial matter.
After this, Qin Zheng's aura soared to new heights.
Boom! Boom!
Intense thunder rumbled, and the sky above transformed.
Amidst the shifting energy, thunderclouds swiftly converged, shrouding the world in darkness.
Within the clouds, silver-blue thunderbolts surged like viscous fluids, exuding an awe-inspiring might.
Qin Zheng gazed upon this apocalyptic scene.
He could sense the thunder's consciousness fixated on him.
Taking one step forward, the thunderbolts within the clouds would mercilessly strike him.
'Ascension Thunder Tribulation' flashed through his mind.
He sheathed the Dusk Divine Bow and ascended, reaching the heavens.
Ascending! Transforming!
His physical body and soul underwent an unprecedented metamorphosis!
Casting off mortal shackles, he sought the path to immortality!
After the arrival of the two Jade Essence Sect Human Immortals, he promptly channeled a wisp of his spirit into his sea of consciousness.
Quickly consuming the virtue gained from slaying the three Golden Phoenix Great Demons, he experienced over twenty epiphanies in a short time.
His innate radiance soared, reaching new heights, and Qin Zheng seized the opportunity to attain Human Immortality!
Without hesitation, he broke through, refining the remaining virtue into the Earth Immortal-ranked Dusk Divine Bow.
With this, he effortlessly vanquished the two Human Immortals and the remaining Golden Phoenix Great Demons.
Boom! Boom!
As Qin Zheng ascended, his aura intensified once more.
The thunderbolts transformed into thunder dragons, roaring as they surged forth.
Hundreds of bolts illuminated the world, revealing all.
A vague sense of crisis emerged in his mind.
Qin Zheng extended his hands, and strands of chaotic Ultimate Reality Intent entwined around them.
As a bolt descended, he swiftly grabbed it, capturing its power.
Clenching his fist, he crushed the thunderbolt.
Boom!
The thunder's power dissipated, transforming into pure Immortal Spirit Qi, rapidly flowing into Qin Zheng's body.
His body seemed to thirstily absorb the Immortal Spirit Qi.
The Ascension Thunder Tribulation was both perilous and opportune.
Qin Zheng clenched his fists, punching and shattering the surging thunderbolts.
Pure Immortal Spirit Qi continuously flowed into him.
Amidst this, a phantom seed emerged within his body.
As the Immortal Spirit Qi increased, the seed gradually solidified, transitioning from illusion to reality.
Was this the mark of Human Immortality?
Qin Zheng felt his metamorphosis gaining stability.
Once the seed fully materialized, he would attain Human Immortality!
Boom! Boom!
The thunderbolts transformed again, as if aware of their ineffectiveness.
Within the clouds, more powerful bolts coalesced.
A crimson hue emerged.
Boom!
After Qin Zheng shattered the last silver-blue bolt, a red bolt, like a venomous snake, darted behind him.
Qin Zheng's eyes narrowed, and he swiftly turned, grabbing the bolt.
Buzz!
The red bolt vibrated, straining against his grip.
Qin Zheng brandished the Ultimate Seal with one hand, capturing the bolt, while the other hand unleashed the Heaven Seal, smashing it down.
Boom!
The red bolt exploded, releasing higher-quality and more abundant Immortal Spirit Qi, which surged into Qin Zheng.
The phantom seed within him became more tangible.
Qin Zheng's eyes gleamed.
Boom! Boom!
Crimson thunderbolts filled the sky, painting the world blood-red.
Qin Zheng remained composed, clenching his fists and wielding the Ultimate and Heaven Seals, shattering the incoming bolts.
Dense Immortal Spirit Qi flooded into his body like a torrent.
The illusory seed also rapidly transformed into reality.
In a fleeting moment—
Buzz!
Qin Zheng felt his body tremble.
Instantly, he sensed the power of his transformation and growth, now with a solid foundation!
The illusory seed had completely become real! This also meant he had truly entered the Human Immortal realm, transcending mortality and achieving immortality!
A mysterious aura emanated from him.
At the same time, the red thunderbolts in the sky ceased their descent.
It was as if they acknowledged Qin Zheng's successful advancement and, unable to stop him, decided to retreat.
Qin Zheng observed this, his eyes reflecting a contemplative gleam.
Without the tribulation, it seemed he wouldn't have acquired such abundant Immortal Spirit Qi.
This also implied that he couldn't condense the illusory seed within his body, quickly turning the unreal into reality, and thoroughly stabilizing his Human Immortal realm.
Therefore, the appearance of the tribulation was not a misfortune but an opportunity for those striving for enlightenment!
As this thought crossed his mind—
The once-dispersing thunderclouds in the heavens suddenly changed.
The red thunderbolts, resembling molten lava, transformed into violet within moments.
An even more terrifying divine might instantly permeated the world.
Qin Zheng's mind was instantly filled with a strong sense of crisis.
The power of these violet thunderbolts was beyond comparison to any he had experienced before!
This thought flashed through his mind as his entire being surged to its peak in that instant!
Then—
The dark clouds parted, revealing the violet divine thunder.
Qin Zheng's pupils constricted in that moment.
Within the violet sea of thunder, stood a vague figure, discernible as a humanoid shape.
As Qin Zheng fixed his gaze on it, it, too, stared intently at him.
It slowly extended its hand, grasping a violet divine thunderbolt, and condensed it into a long spear.
Qin Zheng's sense of crisis peaked at that moment!
Without hesitation, he reached out, drawing the Dusk Divine Bow, and summoned his heart's power, using the Immortal Slaying Sword Qi as arrows—this was his most formidable technique at the moment!
Then—
Boom!
The arrow was released, shaking heaven and earth!
Within the sea of thunder, the humanoid figure instantly hurled the spear of condensed thunderbolts towards Qin Zheng.
In a mere instant, they collided!
The world was momentarily engulfed in white radiance.
After several breaths, the white light receded like a tidal wave, revealing the scene.
The once-abundant thunderclouds had completely dissipated.
In mid-air, Qin Zheng's figure appeared slightly disheveled.
His once majestic golden-patterned black robe, having endured successive battles and the tribulation, was now tattered.
The upper half of his body had completely vanished, revealing his robust physique.
However, on his abdomen, there was now a bowl-sized wound.
Violet thunderbolts flickered and shimmered on it.
Yet, Qin Zheng showed no signs of pain.
It wasn't that he was suppressing the pain; he genuinely couldn't feel it!
He gazed at the sky above, which had returned to normal, his eyes reflecting confusion and contemplation.
After several breaths, he lowered his head and withdrew his gaze.
Simultaneously, a thought stirred within him, and a stream of Immortal Spirit Qi surged, swiftly healing his wound.
Then, a wisp of his consciousness entered his body.
The seed, which had transformed from illusion to reality, had now swelled to the size of an infant's fist.
At the same time, a dense spatial force emanated from it.
It was as if the seed had instantly metamorphosed into a fruit!
And all of this was due to that living being in the sea of thunder who had thrown a spear at him!
That spear was incredibly intimidating, causing Qin Zheng to feel an intense sense of crisis, prompting him to unleash his most powerful technique.
But that spear actually held little power!
On the contrary, the Immortal Spirit Qi it contained was of exceptionally high quality and quantity!
It was as if the Qi had been compressed, and just the Immortal Spirit Qi from that single spear exceeded the total amount Qin Zheng had acquired previously!
It was this abundant Immortal Spirit Qi that caused the seed within him to transform once more.
There was a living being in the sea of thunder, seemingly aiding him.
Could it be that the living being recognized him?
Or did it recognize something on his body?
Qin Zheng contemplated, also recalling the appearance of that living being.
However, after several breaths, he stopped reminiscing.
The living being, formed from thunderbolts, was barely discernible as humanoid, and no matter how hard he tried to recall, he couldn't fathom its appearance.
As Qin Zheng suppressed his thoughts, temporarily burying the matter deep within, he simultaneously returned to the earth and took out a brand new robe from his storage pouch to change into.
At this moment, Qiu Huayuan had also regained consciousness from his previous state of unconsciousness.
Upon seeing Qin Zheng's return, he hurriedly spoke with reverence, "Congratulations, Senior, for shedding your mortal body and attaining the path of Human Immortality!"
Qin Zheng waved his hand and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Hearing this, Qiu Huayuan quickly shook his head.
He had sustained some injuries, but they were not too serious.
Compared to the others in the sect, he had been extremely fortunate! A hint of sadness flashed across his face.
Qin Zheng fell into a brief silence.
Then, he turned around and looked into the void, speaking aloud, "Since you've all come, why not show yourselves?"
As these words were spoken, powerful auras suddenly appeared in all four directions of the world.
Three Human Immortals manifested their bodies, appearing between heaven and earth.
At this moment, the three Human Immortals looked at Qin Zheng and congratulated him, "Congratulations, fellow cultivator, on breaking free from the mortal cage. From now on, you will live an eternal and carefree life!"
Qin Zheng's expression remained calm as he returned a fist salute.
Immediately after, the three Human Immortals took a step forward and arrived before Qin Zheng.
Two men and one woman, each with distinct physiques, looked at Qin Zheng with a hint of regret in their eyes.
"Fellow cultivator, you possess astonishing talent. The Jade Essence Sect's old ancestor is currently in seclusion. You should seize the time and quickly head to the other eight realms," said a silver-haired elder with a celestial aura, looking at Qin Zheng.
"Yes, indeed! Yes, indeed!"
"Fellow cultivator, you've killed two Human Immortals of the Jade Essence Sect. If the old ancestor comes out of seclusion, he will likely take action himself!"
Another Human Immortal in white robes echoed.
"Fellow cultivator, you should go directly to the Profound Origin Realm. With your talent, the Human Sovereign Palace will surely step in to protect you."
The only female Immortal among the three spoke after a moment of contemplation.
The three had not been drawn by Qin Zheng's Ascension Thunder Tribulation but had been observing from a distance.
Unlike the two Human Immortals from the Jade Essence Sect, they did not intervene to stop Qin Zheng from slaying the Golden Crow Demon.
Listening to the three Immortals, Qin Zheng fell silent and then chuckled lightly, "Thank you for your kind reminders."
Killing the two Human Immortals from the Jade Essence Sect meant offending the old ancestor of the sect.
Qin Zheng had anticipated this.
Meanwhile, Qiu Huayuan's expression turned even more angry and sorrowful upon hearing this.
Qin Zheng only wanted to kill the four Great Demons who invaded the Human Realm.
What was wrong with that? As much as he was furious, he was powerless and unable to do anything.
He could only look at Qin Zheng, opening his mouth with a sense of apology, "Senior..."
Qin Zheng waved his hand, indicating for him to remain silent.
At this moment, the three Human Immortals spoke again, "The matter of the Heavenly Blade Sect is also a concern for us."
"The Jade Essence Sect has explicitly forbidden us from taking action. We, as a small sect, dare not defy their orders."
"Now, the Ten Thousand Chariot Demon Nation shows signs of invasion, and the forces of the Human Sovereign Palace have been dispatched to the borderlands."
"Therefore, in the Heavenly Origin Realm, the old ancestor of the Jade Essence Sect is like heaven itself. Whatever he says, we can only obey."
"Fellow cultivator, take advantage of the time before the Jade Essence Sect reacts. Hurry and leave!"
In a few words, they informed Qin Zheng of the situation in the Heavenly Origin Realm.
In other words, the current Heavenly Origin Realm did not have the Human Sovereign Palace's branch power as Qiu Huayuan had mentioned.
Due to the invasion of the Ten Thousand Chariot Demon Nation, the powerful individuals of the Human Sovereign Palace had been dispatched to the border.
Thus, the old ancestor of the Jade Essence Sect, as the only Celestial Immortal in the Heavenly Origin Realm, became the heaven of that realm.
Whatever he said was law! Hearing these words, Qin Zheng suddenly felt a bit better.
The Human Sovereign Palace, as the first power of the Human Realm, had been indifferent to the chaos caused by the demons and the killing of Human Realm experts.
So, what hope was there left for the Human Realm in this world? He nodded and said, "Alright, I'll leave soon."
Although he had already attained the realm of Human Immortality, he knew he had no chance against a Celestial Immortal.
But just as he spoke these words, a light voice suddenly echoed through heaven and earth.
"You killed my Jade Essence Sect's people and still want to leave the Heavenly Origin Realm alive?"
The voice turned cold as it continued, "This is simply absurd!"
