Su Chen had invested a great deal of effort into Huo Xi, and he didn’t want to witness her downfall at this critical moment. If something were to happen to Huo Xi, ail the hard work he had put in would be in vain.

In the skies above, thick dark clouds converged from all directions, covering an area of hundreds of miles like a descending apocalypse. It emitted a terrifying power that sent s.h.i.+vers down the spine of onlookers.

Nirvana Tribulation! The ninth Nirvana Tribulation! There was no doubt about it.

Thunder rumbled deafeningly, and for a brief moment, it felt as if the very heavens were collapsing. Blood-red lightning streaked across the sky like majestic dragons, casting a crimson glow over the surrounding hundreds of miles.

From a distance, the spectacle was awe-inspiring. Lightning snakes danced wildly, and the thunderous noise was enough to rupture the eardrums of ordinary people. It sounded like an ancient demon G.o.d roaring as if attempting to overturn the entire world.

Rumble!

The blood-red lightning completely engulfed the area within a radius of hundreds of miles. The figure that had stood tall between heaven and earth moments ago had vanished, leaving no trace.

All that could be seen was a river of blood-red lightning coursing through the sky.

Nine heavenly tribulations. This was just the beginning, but it had already stirred up the entire area.

“It truly is the ninth Nirvana Tribulation. 1 heard people talk about the impending Golden Era, but 1 had my doubts. Now, it seems I’ll have to believe it, whether I want to or not!1‘

“That’s right! Aside from the Eternal Forbidden Body, both Su Chen and Qin Yuan had transcended the ninth Nirvana Tribulation before her!”

“No, no, no, you’re mistaken! Those who have transcended nine Nirvana Tribulations are not limited to just the two of them. 1 heard that the Dashang Empire also had a divine body that transcended the ninth Nirvana Tribulation, but Su Chen personally slew him!”

“Wow, when did this happen?”

“Is that really the case?”

“I also heard that Su Chen didn’t actually transcend nine heavenly tribulations but ten! It’s just that you all are too far from the Dachu Empire and haven’t heard this news.”

“Ten Nirvana Tribulations… Is there really a tenth Nirvana Tribulation in this world? And there are people who can safely pa.s.s it?”

The onlookers engaged in lively discussions, and Huo Xi s current ninth Nirvana Tribulation naturally led them to think about other prodigies who had transcended the same level of tribulation. Su Chen and Qin Yuan were frequently mentioned and compared.

“Huo Xi’s ninth Nirvana Tribulation is different from the heavenly tribulations that Su Chen and Qin Yuan transcended. The heavenly tribulations they faced had divine light descending from the heavens, baptizing their bodies and undergoing a transformation. But for Huo Xi… the Eternal Forbidden Body was originally forsaken by the Heavenly Dao. Even if she transcends the ninth heavenly tribulation, the divine light descending from the heavens may not be very dense, and there’s even a possibility that there won’t be any at all. In other words, as other cultivators progress further, their innate apt.i.tude and comprehension become stronger. But for the Eternal Forbidden Body, in order to reach the end, they can only rely on themselves,” an elderly individual explained.

The Eternal Forbidden Body had indeed been abandoned by the Heavenly Dao, and this wasn’t just empty talk. If it were merely the difficulty of transcending the heavenly tribulation, there had still been one or two Eternal Forbidden Bodies that had accomplished it since ancient times. However, it was precisely because the rewards from transcending the heavenly tribulation didn’t match what followed that the Eternal Forbidden Body gradually faded from the stage of history.

After all, everyone’s talents were evolving, while the Eternal Forbidden Body remained stagnant. If they aspired to become experts at the Great Emperor Realm, the difficulty was rhe same as a mortal becoming a great emperor, and perhaps even greater.

“This level of Nirvana Tribulation might lead to Su Chen losing everything. Not only might Huo Xi perish, but the spirit stones he just invested could also vanish into thin air.”

The Spirit Race Patriarch sneered, thinking to himself, “Do you really believe that transcending the ninth Nirvana Tribulation is that easy?”

If Huo Xi had been the Holy Maiden of a holy land, he might have held a higher opinion of her. However, the issue was that Huo Xi was merely a rogue cultivator without substantial resources or formidable backing. Even her cultivation methods were piecemeal and lacked a systematic foundation. In the eyes of many, it was a fool’s dream for such a cultivator to transcend the ninth Nirvana Tribulation.

Countless blood-red lightning bolts struck down, appearing like connected dragons sealing off the land, as if they aimed to annihilate the one undergoing the tribulation. Gazing around, the heavenly tribulation had erased everything, forming vast chasms on the ground, and rhe thunderous sea above continued to expand, presenting a turbulent and catastrophic scene.

“This is too terrifying. Are these the legendary nine heavenly tribulations?”

“If it were me, I m afraid that just the tribulation before us would reduce me to ashes. Who can fathom the might of nine heavenly tribulations?”

“Normally, individuals who have transcended tribulations of this magnitude will obtain a ma.s.sive amount of benefits. Unfortunately, the one undergoing the tribulations is the Eternal Forbidden Body.”

People looked at the horrifying scene from afar, and a chill ran down their spines. While they were awed, some also shook their heads and sighed, feeling that it was not worth it for Huo Xi. Setting aside the fact that she couldn’t gain any benefits from the tribulations she was currently transcending, just the situation itself was a headache.

After all, she was already on the hit list of the Golden Crow Clan, and Qin Yu from the Qin family had issued a challenge to her. Other forces were also full of people who were itching to make a move. Even if Su Chen wanted to help, he lacked a legitimate excuse. They were all Nirvana Realm geniuses. Even if Su Chen could hold back the experts of the older generation, he wouldn’t be able to stop the younger generation. Relying solely on Huo Xi to face all the younger generation’s challengers would, in everyone’s opinion, be a hopeless situation.

Within the blood-red sea of lightning, Huo Xi stood proudly. Regardless of how the lightning danced, she showed no signs of fear. She raised her hand slightly, and the Exquisite PaG.o.da in her grasp flew out, shattering countless lightning bolts.

Boom!

Suddenly, amidst the boundless sea of lightning, Huo Xi challenged the heavens, breaking through the lightning with a resounding noise, and was once again submerged in the tribulation clouds.

“This…”

Those who witnessed this scene couldn’t help but turn pale with shock. The nine heavenly tribulations were already terrifying on their own. Why would she charge into the tribulation clouds instead of staying on the ground to transcend it? Was she seeking death?

“This Eternal Forbidden Body is quite intriguing! Hehe… Her courage alone surpa.s.ses any Eternal Forbidden Body in history! ”

A Holy Lord’s eyes lit up as he watched, and he praised, “Just her courage alone is already beyond any Eternal Forbidden Body in history!”

Facing nine heavenly tribulations and daring to enter the tribulation clouds was originally a display of defying the heavens. Of course, this was also a manifestation of her confidence in her own strength. If she didn’t have the strength, she wouldn’t dare to do so.

“Fellow Daoist Su Chen! The tribulation clouds are not a place where just anyone can enter. Do you think there’s a chance this Eternal Forbidden Body will come back alive?”

At this moment, Sui Shang of the Dasui Empire suddenly turned his head and looked at the composed Su Chen, curiously inquiring..
