C2666 Chaotic Heavenly Tribulation
"Looks like Fann has finally taken another step forward. I hope everything goes smoothly," it mused.
Meanwhile, several cultivators arrived at the Back Mountain. These were the experts Jiang Fann had previously brought back. They had all improved, though none had reached the Reincarnation Stage yet. However, a few had reached the peak of the Mortal Separating Stage, and it was only a matter of time before they broke through.
Upon arriving, Shen Yan and others learned that Jiang Fann was undergoing a breakthrough. They immediately left Myriad Clouds Mountain to check on him. Having watched Jiang Fann grow, they were eager to see the results, especially now that their own injuries had healed.
The spiritual energy tremors and phenomena caused by Jiang Fann's breakthrough quickly attracted nearby forces. Initially thinking a treasure had appeared, some experts came to investigate after their training.
When they realized the commotion was due to someone's breakthrough, they were astonished. Jiang Fann was enveloped in a red glow, with scorched earth stretching for hundreds of feet around him. Even from a distance, the intense heat he emitted was palpable, leaving everyone in awe.
Jiang Fann was now fully awake, keenly aware of the changes the Mortal Separating Stage had brought him, and patiently awaited the arrival of the heavenly tribulation. This time, unlike when his abilities were weaker, he faced the unknown tribulation with remarkable calmness, feeling little pressure. Back then, he was insignificant, but now he had so many skills at his disposal and had faced countless tribulations.
Having come this far, he was determined to push through, refusing to halt his progress. With a tranquil heart, he gradually withdrew the power of his divine blood to maintain his Spiritual Strength, aiming to restore himself to peak condition swiftly.
In the distance, someone recognized Jiang Fann. His reputation in the area was immense, having made a stunning debut and accomplished numerous significant feats. "Jiang Fann has entered the Mortal Separating Stage! He was already challenging half-step Reincarnation Stage experts while in the Dao Understanding Stage. Now, how powerful will he be? His combat strength might reach the Reincarnation Stage! The future of the Heaven Pavilion seems boundless."
"With such a genius, even if chaos descends, the Heaven Pavilion should be able to protect itself."
At that moment, five different hues of light appeared above Jiang Fann, dazzling yet exerting considerable pressure on everyone present, including Jiang Fann himself.
Jiang Fann was taken aback. He sensed a very peculiar kind of spiritual strength from the glowing light. It was chaotic, not the usual strength of the five elements, and it even caused the spiritual strength within him to move erratically. This interference was subtle yet profound, and Jiang Fann found it difficult to control.
He then employed the Devil God Spell, focusing his mind intensely, hoping to stabilize the fluctuations in his spiritual strength, but the results were less than satisfactory. The glow intensified, but after several minutes, it suddenly contracted. Several beams of light merged into a grayish mist, making the surrounding spiritual strength even more chaotic. Even those outside the tribulation's range felt its effects.
Sensing the shift in spiritual strength, the onlookers nearby began to back away, clearly not wanting to get caught up in it. In the distance, Hong Chao and his companion frowned deeply. The Venerable Person remarked gravely, "This doesn't look good..."
Hong Chao spoke softly, "This seems like the legendary chaotic tribulation! It's said that such a great tribulation can turn the world upside down, disrupt the five elements, and prevent anyone from harnessing spiritual strength, forcing them to rely solely on their physical body to withstand its might."
"All spiritual treasures and elixirs become ineffective, their power greatly diminished. The last time someone faced such a tribulation was thousands of years ago, and it was also a young genius of the ultimate path. However, that person was only at the Life Taking Stage and couldn't hold out for long before their spiritual strength became chaotic, leading to their demise."
Upon hearing the explanation, the Venerable Person remarked, "So, does this mean he's doomed? Cultivators strive for balance, finding strength within it. If chaos reigns and the natural order is absent, how can he possibly withstand it? Isn't there a way to disrupt this heavenly tribulation? Losing one chance is better than losing his life. Given his age, he should have other opportunities."
Hong Chao shook his head firmly. "It's fate! Even if we could disrupt this tribulation, the next one would be even more formidable. Whether he can overcome this challenge is up to him."
The aura of the heavenly tribulation had completely enveloped the area around Jiang Fann. It wasn't a Thunder Tribulation, so the lightning pool couldn't assist. Jiang Fann felt the fluctuations of spiritual strength within him, yet he remained calm. Sitting cross-legged in mid-air, he carefully sensed the changes within his spiritual strength and then looked upward.
To everyone's astonishment, Jiang Fann's lips curled into a slight smile, as if he was in good spirits. He had expected this unique tribulation to become more bizarre, but it turned out there were no additional peculiar changes—only chaotic spiritual interference and surges.
For an ordinary cultivator, this chaotic spiritual energy would indeed be overwhelming. But Jiang Fann was no ordinary cultivator; he had a method to handle such situations. Although he hadn't used it often, it was perfectly suited for this moment.
He began to harness his spiritual strength, and upon reaching the Mortal Separating Stage, Jiang Fann felt he could effortlessly control his power, becoming more adept. More importantly, his Qi Sea expanded several times over.
"The chapter isn't finished yet. Click to the next page for more exciting content!"
"To continue breaking through, I need immense spiritual strength, so I won't hold back."
In the state of the Devil God Spell, Jiang Fann's smile was a bit eerie, but everyone present could sense his spiritual strength in motion, clearly indicating he was planning something.
As the crowd watched in confusion, they suddenly saw a powerful impact descending from the sky towards Jiang Fann. A strong wave appeared, and in the next moment, Jiang Fann absorbed it instantly using a special technique, turning it to his advantage.
The onlookers gasped in astonishment, unable to comprehend what had just happened.
"Can such power really be absorbed? How is that possible?"
Even the Venerable Person in the distance was somewhat surprised.
"Oh?"
Beside him, Hong Chao slowly broke into a smile, as if he had realized something. He stroked his beard, feeling much more at ease, his earlier worries vanishing.
"Brilliant! Brilliant! I never expected this kid to have such a method. This heavenly tribulation shouldn't pose any fatal threat to him now. It's just a matter of whether he can withstand the strongest waves of attacks!"
The Venerable Person asked in confusion, "What's going on? Absorbing that chaotic spiritual strength recklessly could lead to an explosion. Isn't he afraid of the conflict within his body?"
Just then, another heavenly tribulation descended. Like before, as the attack reached Jiang Fann, it fluctuated and was completely absorbed by him, disappearing without a trace. However, this time, the Venerable Person was prepared and noticed something immediately.
"It changed! The power of the tribulation altered before it touched him, turning into pure, normal spiritual strength. That's really strange."
Hong Chao chuckled, "This must be a special technique that can convert chaotic spiritual strength. But dealing with this tribulation requires more than just this method. One needs a high level of spiritual sense and control to seize that moment of change. Jiang Fann clearly managed it, which is why you only noticed the mystery the second time."
The technique Jiang Fann used was the Chaos Method. When he employed it, the spiritual strength within a certain range would instantly change. Just like when facing the thunder tribulation, Jiang Fann absorbed the power of the heavenly tribulation directly, using it to temper his body and enhance his Qi Sea.
Although this power was formidable, with the strength Jiang Fann could command at the moment, he could still handle it.
A barrage of attacks rained down, but it seemed as if Jiang Fann had drained the surrounding spiritual energy. Hours later, not only was he unharmed, but his aura had grown even stronger, leaving the previously wary cultivators at a loss for words.
Gu Xie and the others relaxed considerably, knowing Jiang Fann well enough to understand that this heavenly tribulation posed little threat to him.
A day later, just as everyone began to think the tribulation was no big deal, the situation in the sky changed. The grayish aura of the tribulation suddenly gave way to black clouds, and thunder rumbled as a thunder tribulation formed out of nowhere.
This unexpected turn of events shocked Hong Chao and his companion from afar.
"What’s going on? The tribulation changed halfway through?"
Hong Chao couldn’t quite figure it out either, but his senses confirmed one thing: the chaotic spiritual energy remained unchanged, yet the presence of a thunder tribulation had emerged. It was as if two types of tribulations were attacking Jiang Fann simultaneously, doubling the difficulty.
However, Jiang Fann's response left everyone stunned. He maintained the same rhythm as before, not resisting the thunder tribulation at all, allowing the heavenly lightning to strike him, using it to temper his body.
Jiang Fann even absorbed part of the thunder tribulation's power directly into his body, integrating it into his Qi Sea to nourish the Thunder Pool, which brought him some benefits. With the Thunder Pool, he possessed impressive lightning techniques, granting him high resistance to the thunder tribulation. When several bolts struck him, they seemed to have little effect, leaving him only slightly disheveled but with a steady aura and almost no change.
Some people looked on with envy.
"His body is incredibly strong, probably tougher than many defensive treasures."
"That's the body of someone who battles experts at the Reincarnation Stage. How could it be weak?"
But the ordeal wasn't over. On the third day of Jiang Fann's tribulation, after a day of calm, the heavenly tribulation changed again. From the gray spiritual energy of the tribulation, a red light burst forth, forming red tribulation clouds. A scorching aura swept across the sky as a third type of tribulation appeared—a special fire cloud tribulation.
