CHAPTER 311: CHAPTER 288: THE NIRVANA GREAT TRIBULATION, COME!

"A life and death tribulation..."

Chen Zhixing’s gaze flickered uncertainly.

Tian Qianzi from Qianyang Academy had once told him about this tribulation.

Others need only awaken one Great Tao to move from death to life, but because he carried nine Great Taos, he needed to awaken all nine!

The difficulty of this was simply incomparable.

However, fortunately, Chen Zhixing had already cultivated the Life and Death Tao and experienced both death and rebirth, so he wasn’t afraid of this tribulation.

This was also the tribulation Chen Zhixing was most confident about!

"What about the third step?" Chen Zhixing asked.

Elder Nether smiled and said, "By the third step, breaking through to Nirvana is almost a certainty."

"The third step is Nirvana and rebirth, the step of breaking the cocoon to become a butterfly!"

"All you need to do is transform all your True Self True Essence into Nirvana Power, and you’ll truly be reborn, transcending the mortal to become an immortal, transforming into an indestructible, blood-rebirthing great cultivator of the Nirvana Realm!"

"This step doesn’t have much risk, the only thing is it takes a very long time."

"Most tribulation cultivators can pass this step smoothly."

Chen Zhixing nodded, a thoughtful look on his face.

According to this.

His greatest threat came from the First Layer of the Nirvana Threefold Tribulation!

"Third Young Master, I think there’s no need to rush breaking through to Nirvana, why not spend a few decades enjoying life’s pleasures first? Accumulate enough and then break through to Nirvana later, there’s no hurry."

Elder Nether smiled and said.

Chen Zhixing, hearing this, shook his head gently.

If he could, he would have liked to do as Elder Nether said, to live freely in the mortal world.

But...

The nine Celestial Chosen Protagonists weren’t all dead, and they were always like a sharp sword hanging over his neck!

Especially Li Changsheng.

This person had reached the Nirvana Sixth Layer, and in terms of strength, he was probably no weaker than an ordinary Nirvana Ninth Layer!

As long as Li Changsheng was alive, he could find no peace or rest!

From several encounters, it was clear that Li Changsheng bore great destiny, and relying on external forces to kill him seemed impossible.

So it required Chen Zhixing to act personally!

And for Chen Zhixing to kill Li Changsheng.

At the very least, he needed to break through to the Nirvana Realm!!

Therefore.

For Chen Zhixing at this moment, he had to break through to the Nirvana Realm as quickly as possible!

Otherwise, if time dragged on, Li Changsheng might become even more powerful and difficult to deal with!

"In a month, I will attempt to break through to the Nirvana Realm."

Leaving this sentence, Chen Zhixing rose and left.

...

...

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

During this month, Chen Zhixing began the final preparations for breaking through to Nirvana.

On this day.

At the mountain peak, winter snow melted away.

Chen Zhixing slowly opened his eyes.

After a month of preparation, he was at his peak state like never before!

Just as he was about to push open the Nirvana Gate within him and attempt the breakthrough.

Boom——!

An unrivaled, sky-piercing black sword radiance suddenly shot up from not far from the Third Peak, reaching into the clouds!

In an instant, sword qi whistled everywhere!

Throughout the Nine Peaks of Ziwu, all those wielding swords felt their flying swords in the scabbards tremble continuously, as if trying to break free!

Rumble~~~~!

The next moment.

The entire sky for thousands of miles rumbled as if mountains were being moved.

Endless chains of laws and Great Tao Runes twisted and intertwined in the sky, and clouds across Yanzhou all rushed together, finally gathering over Ziwei Mountain, forming layers of heavy thunderclouds as if the sky was about to fall!

Bolts of lightning streaked through the dark clouds, roaring thunderously.

An apocalyptic aura slowly emanated from the thunderclouds, draping down to cover the whole of Ziwei Mountain.

Countless disciples and elders of Ziwei Mountain felt a great terror grip them, a sudden palpitating fear in their hearts, and could not help but tremble.

"Nirvana! It’s a Nirvana Great Tribulation!!"

"Is someone trying to break through to the Nirvana Realm in the Third Peak?"

"Is it the Third Young Master breaking through to Nirvana?"

For a moment, countless elders of the Ziwei Chen Family suppressed their fear and looked up at the heavy, sky-cracking thunderclouds.

The Netherworld Elders and some powerful elders of the True Self Realm instantly stepped out of their halls, standing together and looking toward the Third Peak.

"Is the Third Young Master breaking through to the Nirvana Realm?"

Elder Ming said solemnly, "As far as I know, the Third Young Master isn’t even sixteen yet, right? Breaking through to the Nirvana Realm at not even sixteen, it’s unheard of."

Chen Tianchen, hearing this, slowly furrowed his brow, deep concern in his eyes, and said:

"The Nirvana Threefold Tribulation isn’t easy to pass, breaking through to the Nirvana Realm now, Zhixing might be doing it too soon?"

Beside him, Elder Nether also frowned tightly, not expecting Chen Zhixing to actually choose to go through the tribulation just a month after saying so!

"Wait!"

Suddenly, Elder Nether seemed to discover something, his eyes lit up, and he said, "This tribulation doesn’t seem too daunting, if this first tribulation is just at this level of difficulty, with the Third Young Master’s strength, it should be quite manageable."

"Hmm, it seems the thunder tribulation isn’t too strong...."

"To ordinary True Self cultivators, this thunder tribulation might be extremely challenging, but to the Third Young Master, it seems too easy..."

Just as the Netherworld Elders, Chen Tianchen, and a group of Chen Family elders showed signs of joy.

"I, Dugu Ni, have cultivated for one hundred and twenty years, today I witness the Great Tao, I only seek to open the Heavenly Gate with one sword and prove the Nirvana Realm!"

On the Third Peak.

A figure clad in coarse linen, with white hair and a black sword coffin on his back, walked step by step to the peak!

Boom!

The sword coffin on his back shattered, and a scarlet demon sword with an eye on the hilt was seized in his hand.

"Dugu Ni?!"

"It’s not the Third Young Master, it’s Dugu Ni undergoing the Nirvana tribulation?"

The Netherworld Elders, Chen Tianchen, and others were stunned, showing astonishment.

The next moment.

They exchanged glances, and the smiles on their faces disappeared.

"The Third Young Master is an unparalleled prodigy for all ages, the corresponding Nirvana Thunder Tribulation should also be one of a kind, how could it be of such difficulty?"

"It turns out the one undergoing the tribulation isn’t the Third Young Master at all?"

One elder after another shook their heads.

"Yet it’s good, because this means we’ll have another great sword cultivator in Nirvana once Dugu Ni breaks through!"

Chen Tianchen smiled slightly.

"Exactly, sword cultivators hold unmatched combat power and rarely have rivals at the same level; once Dugu Ni breaks through to Nirvana, he should secure a place in the realm!"

"Indeed, and it also means that the one undergoing the tribulation isn’t the Third Young Master," they said.

Meanwhile.

The summit at the back mountain of the Third Peak.

It was hard for Chen Zhixing, looking at the surging peak not far ahead where Dugu Ni stood, his hair billowing fiercely in the wind.

The True Essence he was about to use to break through his inner Nirvana Gate stirred him.

Considering he could now witness another’s tribulation, was also quite fortunate.
