Chapter 511: [ Breakthrough ]

Woosh. Venerable Passing and the others looked at each other with amazement! The impact of a Deity Level Breakthrough…?

This is a very rare opportunity, not only to the Disciples but also to the Elders themselves!

...But was it really something like this...?

Everyone looked on as the speed the whirlpool’s rotation became so intense that it started to issue ear-piercing whistling sounds. In fact, the color of the entire whirlpool had changed to dark crimson by now!

... It was like the area around Allen has been dyed by blood, such amazing yet eerie spectacle was truly bizarre, yet it also carried a strange sense of beauty and power.

The Whirlpool emitted lightning sparks as if something was trying to break free from within. Cracked! The ground beneath Allen's figure cracked unnaturally and the fissure expanded further in width, swallowing the surrounding earth and rocks.

No - it wasn't only the earth. The cracks stretched out from the surface to empty air, distorting space and sucking in the atmosphere. The entirety of their surroundings was blown into the end of the void by a surging wind. This sudden change caused the people watching terrified and immediately back down--

"T-This is..."

It was such a scene that even the Venerable Passing himself who prided himself for having seen many strange things was at a loss for words.

Bzzz...!!

Clang!!

It suddenly stopped for a moment. Then, the cyclone started to rotate in the reverse direction. Then, it suddenly started to move downwards!

Consequently, the pointed end of the funnel that was rotating with matchless speed and connected the skull demon symbol and the floating golden book.

Then suddenly, a magic circle with a strange octagon appeared behind the two items and just in front of Allen. Within the circle was a long snake, eating its ail—revolving around the octagon. And from each point of the octagon was unexpected… varying elements…

Fire at the very top—from then, in a clockwise formation was Earth, Water, Metal, Wood, Lightning, Aether and lastly Void. Other than the six basic elements, the Aether and the Void was represented by a golden ball of light and dark ball of shadows.

Boooom! Suddenly, Allen’s body exuded a fierce sound of an explosion. And, every piece of Allen’s black robe was fluttered away into tatters as a result…

Laura and Ouyang Yishuang was standing far away. However, they felt that an airstream had hit them. Even Ouyang Yishuang’s mouth and nose were obstructed. She held out her hand in panic while steadying her ground, helping the injured Laura all the while.

“Master…”

“… he’s having a breakthrough…” Venerable Passing appeared behind the two women. Although he was somewhat curious about Laura but now was not the time. All his attention was focused on Allen’s figure which was releasing a massive amount of magic power.

The aura of the breakthrough gradually spread out in the air.

Swift and fierce spiritual energies scattered in all directions. Then, the radiance of the crimson color disappeared without a trace!

The energy had already reached the level of a Sixth level Ancestor Stage can emit!

An Ancestral breakthrough!

Venerable Passing and the other Elders looked-on with amazement, Such kind of Ancestral breakthrough makes for a rare event even in the span of a decade. However, such large disturbance was actually made…

"He made a breakthrough!" Ouyang Yishuang shouted in excitement. Hearing this Laura’s face showed relief but as she was about to rush towards Allen and celebrate. She was stopped by Venerable Passing, "Do not move!"

Everyone found an anomaly. Allen had made a breakthrough, but he was still sitting in the same place. He wasn’t moving…

Impossible…!!

Booroooom!!! A large crimson red colored lightning struck Allen and another one followed after. Above Allen’s head, a large golden serpent-like dragon was hovering within the dark clouds. The width of the dragon’s body was almost dozen meters and the length of it can’t be seen but after seeing this figure, Venerable Passing’s eyes widened in shock and horror…!

“The Spirit of the Field of Lightning… Thunder Dragon God; Lightning Shenlong…!!?” Venerable Passing muttered in a fearful voice as he slowly steps backward. His body and trembled so all the people who witnessed it.

The Guardian, not it should be, the spirit that was imprisoned to become the Lightning Field’s source of power, the Thunder Dragon God; Lightning Shenlong. However, the spirit was not sentient and just a source of power for the Lightning Field, how come it suddenly appeared today…?

“A dragon…?”

“The Shenlong…!!”

“No way… why does the Shenlong appear in full….?”

"This is not possible, right? I heard that the Lightning Field's core was the Dragon God's Core but I never heard about it materializing like this...!!"

Discussions spread throughout the entire place.

ROOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAARRRRR!!! The lightning dragon’s huge head peek through the clouds, letting out a roar. Then, a golden bead fell from the dragon’s mouth and then slowly floated towards where the lightning symbol was at. When this happened, the crimson-colored fire, the water symbol which was being represented by a snowflake, both started glowing even brightly.

[ The World has forsaken me…

my time has been frozen for eternity… ]

Suddenly, a deep voice for who knows where it came from, resounded in the entire place. It was deep, mysterious and for some reason, full of emotions.

The voice was soft and feels like a whisper and yet, all of those present within the field of lightning heard of it as if it was spoken just near their ears.

[ I hold the sword of dominion…

leaving my marks in the infinite…

I have created over a thousand blades…

I have survived a million battles …

but never did I quench the thirst that my heart defiles…

... I have no regrets.

this is the only path.

let me rest where my heart lies…

… the world of the brave...

the paradise for the cowards… ]

Then, in the center, another change appeared.

The skull demon symbol and the golden book started to slowly approach towards the center, getting closer to each other. Moreover, at this very moment, Allen’s entire body was once again covered in a dense aura. And, the aura still hadn’t dispersed away. Instead, an enormous aura was still revolving around him!

It seemed that the spirit energy had again started to rotate slowly in the air…

“Boom…”

Sitting cross-legged and cultivating, Allen’s body jolted. His sea of consciousness seemed to have been split by an invisible force. Shortly after, the pure Spiritual Power channeled itself into his sea of consciousness and flowed downwards, cycling in three different pathways—Qi, Chakra, and Mana.

Within a short dozen breaths, it had circulated within these three different systems for a few times.

Give in to me!

Allen’s consciousness could hardly contain this overtaxing manner of the energy cycle. Relying on sheer tearing effort only then was it drawn into his chest were a new form was forming… some kind of black vortex that resembles a spider with eight connecting lines towards the three different energy organs, slowly merging them into one. The new black vortex was now absorbing all energy from the three energy organs, attempting to absorb all of them and refine them simultaneously.

However, the three energy organs gave off a very strong repulsion force as they struggled and resisted time and time again, almost breaking the enveloping new energy paths coming from the black vortex several times.

Gradually, as though adapting to the new energy core, the struggling energy cores became milder. Along with the encroaching black colored energy, the stream of pure energy shrunk into a thumb-sized ball suspended within the black vortex.

Crackle! The massive lightning dragon coiled around Allen’s figure, its body golden and emitting lightning sparks. Allen’s figure was already hidden to the public.

What is happening….?

Everyone blankly looked-on. What is this? I’ve never ever seen this kind of a bizarre phenomenon!

“Eight days of death, eight days of samsara, eight lives bring into one path… life forms in eight stages…” At this moment, Allen immediately muttered the chant for the Void Spider Buddha technique as he wanted to borrow the energy rotation to recover and support the massive amount of energy he needed to breakthrough. With this cultivation technique, the energy would surely hasten the cycle moving within him.

Allen murmured in a low voice, and in the next instance, his entire body was covered with ancient-looking runes, like an ancient devil god, filled with an ancient and oppressive aura.

Boooom!!!

An imposing aura condensed around his body, the countless runes began to gather together, the current situation was unstoppable, a terrifying aura, large and powerful began to spill out, spreading as far as tens of millions of kilometers!

In an instant.

Shining with boundless radiance!

Above Allen’s body, appeared a fuzzy shadow—In the shape of a fuzzy humanoid shadow silhouette with eight arms spread, sitting cross-legged.

ROOOOOOOAAARRR!! The roving golden dragon in the sky let out a deafening roar mixed with excitement, dread, and fear.

Boom doom!

In that second, an ear-splitting crack of the thunder rang out. It almost sounded as though the heavens were enraged or probably...excited…!

Clouds started to loom overhead and turned dark. Once again, the wind started blowing in a frenzy as streaks of lightning could be seen in the sky. Every lightning looked almost as if a dragon was coursing through the clouds!

Heavenly Tribulation…!

This was certainly Heavenly Tribulation!

Boom doom!

The skies above Allen were lined with dark and heavy clouds, all compact together. The burst of lightning resembled large dragons as it slithered through the clouds. No, they should already be dragons as the Dragon Spirit Shenlong was dancing above him, letting out thunder strikes one after another.

At this second, the audiences were stumped by whatever they saw as their faces revealed looks of dread.

Some of them even jumped up in fear at the crashing sounds of thunder, causing their faces to turn pale with fright. Their legs even began to tremble, oblivious to whatever was happening.

"What was happening? Was… Was this a Tribulation?"

“Oh my God! Is this even a normal Tribulation…? It’s as if a God was transcending!!”

"Or could it be that the heavens wished to strike that youth dead? The sounds are so violent and powerful. How could a cultivator in our midst survive a Tribulation as powerful as that?"

"That’s way too scary. Could it be that this youth committed treasonous acts to offend the heavens or an unpardonable sin that caused the heavens to be angry? If not, why would the heavens be so upset?"

This was not normal cultivation of breaking through Ancestral Realm… this is more like a Heaven Punishment!

"My god! The Tribulation isn’t even here and I can’t bear it. I almost feel like falling to my knees!"

"That youth is doomed. With such a tremendous Tribulation ahead of him, even Saint Staged cultivators, much less Spirit or Ancestor grade cultivator won’t be able to survive it."

This is absurd…!

"Besides, this is only the first wave. It’s so hard to imagine. If this guy somehow manages to survive this, how is he going to survive the rest of the waves, which would become increasingly difficult?"

Heavenly Tribulation has nine waves. And each wave is stronger than the last!

"He won’t be able to endure even the first wave. It seems like the heavens won’t even grant him a chance and claim his life right on the very first wave."

"This is a Tribulations that would definitely kill him!"

“But even if he was breaking through Ancestor Realm, how is he able to incite such anger from the heaven…? Just what did he do? What heinous crime did he commit?”

“Even the great Dragon Spirit Shenlong appeared, this guy just who is he?”

“I don’t see him before… Ancestor Realm cultivator? My God, such a strong person, I actually never see him in the Sect! Is he the Sect’s hidden disciple? The Venerable’s Son?”

“No way! I haven’t heard the Venerable is married! Much less a son!”

“Who would know, the exalted Venerable is also a man, having affairs one or twice is not a matter…!”

“You have a point! However, if he was this strong, wouldn’t he be comparable to the Senior Brother Ximen Wu?”

“Aaaissh! Even if he was this strong, but in front of this tribulation…aaah, what a pity…!”

“Indeed, it’s a pity!”

The audience was appalled as they broke out in animated discussion.

Eyes were all turned towards Allen and their expressions turned from disbelief to pity.

“Shut up!!!”
