Previously, the presence of just Jianan and Tan Wu had already made them feel powerless. At present, staring at the lineup of seven more Eternals, Xuan Feiling’s party felt as if they had been dropped into an ice cave. Unprecedented chills ran through them.

How...how would they even begin to fight this?

“Such a tribulation is unheard of. Such a grand path is never before seen as well. Lin Xun...is indeed worthy of making us join hands.” The remark came from a kind-looking, purple-robed old man, whose eyes were fixed on the sky depths the second he had arrived.

He was Wen Tailin from the Eternal Divine Wen Clan!

“I only fear he won't be able to survive this unprecedented tribulation, in which case, we will have made a trip for nothing.” This comment came from a handsome man in black outfit. His voice resounded like a morning bell around heaven and earth.

From the Eternal Divine Ye Clan, Ye Cang was a world-defying sword exalted on the great Eternal path!

“A vain trip? I don't think so, not when the Origin Sect is so close at hand. Since we're here, why not raze it to the ground while it's convenient?” said Wu Zhuotian from the Eternal Divine Wu Clan, his voice as cold as a blade.

Riding a crimson cloud, he was tall with long, fiery red hair. The aura of the dao circled around him in bursts of sunset haze, dazzlingly brilliant. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

“You speak what is on my mind. Without the Origin Sect’s protection all these years, how could the brat have grown to this point? Don't forget that those forces in the Eighth Heaven Domain were all destroyed at his hands.”

Yang Jiuqi from the Eternal Divine Yang Clan said his piece in an indifferent voice, his eyes filled with undisguised killing intent. He was clad in silver-white armor, which made him imposing like a god of war who stood above eternity. His aura was extremely domineering.

“Let’s take it easy. He is trapped in the depths of this heavenly tribulation. We will soon see whether he lives or dies.”

“Indeed.”

“The two dao brothers from the Shaman Sect and the Zen Sect have this sea area blocked off. Even if Lin Xun succeeds in his tribulation, he will find himself to be a turtle in our jar.”

Ji Dongya from the Ji Clan, Xingtian Hao from the Xingtian Clan, and Ziche Boteng from the Ziche Clan joined in the conversation.

Ji Dongya wore a loose robe fastened by a belt and had a long beard that swayed in the wind like a string of willow leaves. Holding a purple jade ruyi in his hand, he gazed into the depths of the sky with unreadable emotions in his eyes.

As an old relic of the Ji Clan, how could he not know about the events in the Ten Directions Demon Realm? The fact that Ji Shanhai had relinquished the Divine Rank law birthed therein to Lin Xun had enraged the entire Ji Clan.

“Fellow Daoists, please join us.” As the distant Jianan issued an invitation, the countless burning lotus flowers that were isolating the surrounding sea moved to make a path. At the same time, Tan Wu also removed one of the black light curtains that gleamed with the enigmas of thunder law.

The seven Eternals from the Ninth Heaven Domain glanced at each other before going toward Jianan and Tan Wu together.

These nine Eternal existences had decided to station themselves here, putting the entire situation under crushing pressure. Xuan Feiling’s party might plan all they could with their wisdom, but they still felt nothing but utter suffocation and despair in front of absolute strength!

They didn't expect that despite the threat of the Great Silence Unlife Calamity, the Shaman Sect, the Zen Sect, and seven major Eternal Divine Clans of the Ninth Heaven Domain would still dispatch Eternal experts.

More importantly, they hadn't thought Lin Xun's tribulation would raise such a big commotion! It all caught them off guard and rendered them helpless.

Last time, the Ninth Heaven Domain had sent Eternal experts from the five Eternal Divine Clans of Yuan, Jue, Cang, Taihao, and Panwu. This time, it was Eternal experts from the other seven Eternal Divine Clans.

In other words, the twelve Eternal Divine Clans had all appeared at the Origin Sect's entrance for a single target: Lin Xun!

Rumble~

Deep in the taboo area, Eternal tribulation power converged and tumbled, and heart-stopping light flickered.

Crack! As soon as Lin Xun arrived, the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron protecting him exploded to bits. Fortunately, he had already relocated all the treasures within the sword cauldron long ago. Otherwise, the first strike just now would have destroyed them as well.

In the same instant the sword cauldron was destroyed, Lin Xun also suffered a devastating blow. His body, which had only just undergone Nirvana, instantly burst. However, his primordial spirit had already fused with his Immortal law a second ago. Transforming into a cauldron, it managed to endure the bombardment.

Buzz~

His primordial spirit was fatally damaged and on the verge of disintegrating, but Lin Xun was oblivious. His whole focus was on his Immortal law as he fully interpreted his dao through it.

RUMBLE~

The tribulation light heaved and swirled, lifting up torrents of destruction that constantly impacted Lin Xun's primordial spirit in the shape of a cauldron. Every hit was horrid, making him look like a leaf in a storm.

Surprisingly, however, whenever his primordial spirit was about to crumble, it would gather and get rebuilt anew. Such a dynamic kept up for the following period of time. This was nothing short of inconceivable, it was like being reborn again and again in endless obliteration, interpreting the cycle of life and death, the rotation of destruction and birth in a set sequence...

An unknown amount of time passed as he went through multiple cycles...

Lin Xun's primordial spirit began to grow solid and bright in this perilous situation. Like the prototype of a sword after a thousand hammers, all the impurities had been removed, leaving only something tough and smooth as jade. Eventually, when the tribulation light that made even Eternals quake in their boots came crashing down, it could not shake his primordial spirit anymore.

He was like a cauldron, standing firm and glowing brilliantly. His Immortal law had evolved to an unprecedented level where the word ‘Immortal’ was no longer adequate description. It was now unaffected by time, heavy and eternally immovable.

It was also at this moment that his primordial spirit quietly transformed from a cauldron to an abyss, from defense to offense!

Kaboom!

The boundless Immortal law spread outward as if the great abyss was opening its mouth. The billowing tribulation light was pulled toward it and gathered around Lin Xun's primordial spirit. His dao body began to reform in the light. In just a few breaths of time, the skin, flesh, sinews and bones, five viscera and six bowels, meridians and acupoints...were coalesced one by one.

However, they were now completely different from the past. His tall and slender dao frame was now unshakable even in the blasting of the tribulation flood. Having persisted through all the tribulation lights, the flesh was now eternal and the spirit, permanent!

Every inch of his skin was glowing with a kind of magical and mysterious dao energy. His Immortal law and the aura were filled to the brim with the rhythmic pulses of the almighty principles.

Such was the might of the Eternal Stage! As soon as one entered eternity, the laws that one had mastered became the profound truths of the great dao!

“Doh!”

With a thought in Lin Xun's mind, the tiny fragments of the blasted Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron were pulled upon and began to coalesce in the sea of tribulation light.

After undergoing the destructive ordeal and being rebuilt, the artifact also welcomed nirvana! During this process, Lin Xun threw pieces of Eternal Divine Materials into the morphing sword cauldron.

These Eternal Divine Materials were all treasures that he had refined in the Return Dominion. Extracted from broken Eternal-grade artifacts, they far exceeded immortal divine materials and could be called Eternal-grade artifact embryos! Currently, Lin Xun was using them to reshape the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron!

Rumble~ Crackle~ The tribulation light raged, but its onslaught could no longer trouble Lin Xun. Instead, it continuously got swallowed, used to temper his dao body, and integrated into his laws.

At the same time, Lin Xun took out all the Eternal Bloodstones, Eternal Soul Crystals, the Eternal Dao Stones, and Eternal laws in his possession, and began to refine them one by one. Eternal Bloodstones could strengthen an Eternal’s blood soul and hone their fleshly body, while Eternal Soul Crystals were incredibly useful for tempering Eternal Will Dharma Forms.

Eternal Dao Stones, made from the cultivation base of Eternals, contained thick and vast energy. Consuming a piece was akin to absorbing the cultivation power of an Eternal expert—not the entirety of it, but enough to benefit one endlessly.

As for the Eternal laws, they were naturally even more precious than all the above as they were on par with incomplete Divine Rank law powers! After giving a portion to his fourth senior brother, Lin Xun had still had ten of them, four of which he had absorbed in the Return Dominion, leaving him with six.

Now, he was using these rare treasures that could hardly be found even in the Ninth Heaven Domain to temper himself, all in the midst of the terrifying tribulation. If those old Eternal monsters were to see this, their jaws would probably drop.

Throughout history, who had seen such a frightening Eternal tribulation? Who dared to imagine that someone would dare to practice cultivation in this kind of forbidden zone? Even when a cultivator crossed a tribulation, they were only borrowing the tribulation to achieve a metamorphosis. Therefore, what Lin Xun was doing was unimaginable to say the least!

With every second that passed, the Eternal tribulation became increasingly terrifying and bizarre, but his cultivation also became increasingly powerful. No matter how much the tribulation bombarded him, it couldn't shake him one bit and instead allowed him to evolve again and again.

Even Lin Xun himself was a little surprised at how long this tribulation had been lasting and how strong the power it contained was. However, this had soon ceased to be a bad thing for him. He could feel a qualitative upgrade had occurred to his cultivation. The daos and laws in his control were also improving by leaps and bounds...

Even the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron was realizing new changes in its remodeling process!

“It's already been two hours, why hasn't it ended?”

Jianan, Tan Wu, Wen Tailin, and the crowd of Eternal characters couldn't help but frown, a hint of anxiety rising within them.

They had been waiting, but deep behind those clouds, the tribulation light kept raging. Not only did it refuse to end but it also became stronger and more eerie with time. The longer they watched, the more they realized that Lin Xun had yet to die, otherwise this grand tribulation should have already ended!

“There never has been a tribulation like this. If we really let this brat overcome it, how powerful will he be in the Eternal Stage?”

Jianan and the others exchanged a look, astonishment and anxiety plastered across their faces.

“We can't afford to keep waiting. While there's nothing we can do to Lin Xun at the moment, we can't just watch like this,” Tan Wu said, already looking at the distant entrance to the Origin World.
