Chapter 889: Wind, Fire, and Lightning Tribulations

“No, that's not right. You are not my Life-Bound Demonic Tribulation. I am still within the Heart Devil Tribulation. . . ”

Fang Xi touched his forehead, deep in thought.

At the same time, inside the cave abode, the forehead ornament on Fang Xi's brow cracked with a 'kacha' sound, numerous fissures appearing before it finally exploded. . .

In the Heart Devil Tribulation, despair and surrender are the most forbidden!

For instance, just now, even within the illusion, if Fang Xi had believed his Golden Core was seized, and he scattered the three flowers and died, then he would truly have perished. . . his main body would have followed suit.

It was the same now!

If he believed the opponent was a true Heavenly Demon, then the Heart Devil Tribulation would undoubtedly be impossible to overcome.

“You can try! ”

This demonic palm possessed nine fingers, with dark, hooked nails that appeared exceptionally gruesome, and black membranes connected the digits.

Every single demonic pattern was incredibly clear, even capable of allowing demonic cultivators to comprehend minor Heavenly Demon divine abilities!

Everything seemed impossibly real.

Bang!

The giant palm fell, but Fang Xi remained unharmed.

The surrounding world instantly changed, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, understanding that he was still undergoing the Heart Devil trial.

But soon, Fang Xi's expression became dazed once more. . .

......

Outside the cave abode.

The External Avatar's expression was indifferent, his arms crossed.

With numerous Void Amalgamation subordinates, he had no need to worry about guarding the periphery.

Until now, no cultivators or desolate beasts had intruded into this core area, so it naturally wasn't his turn to act.

Such was the case for the External Avatar, and the Shinto Avatar was naturally even more at ease.

However, both avatars currently wore solemn expressions.

“It seems. . . the main body's Heart Devil Tribulation isn't going smoothly. Fortunately, those treasures and pills proved somewhat useful, extending the Heart Devil Tribulation's duration, buying us time to assist. . . We still have to proceed according to plan. ”

The External Avatar murmured.

“Indeed. . . ”

The Shinto Avatar suddenly formed a hand seal, and behind his head, successive seven-colored wish wheels emerged.

An inexplicable radiant power of vows suddenly enveloped the entire jade-like mountain range.

Deep within the cave abode.

Fang Xi, sitting cross-legged, furrowed his brows as wisps of black qi emerged from his body.

But in the next moment, these black qi wisps were scattered by the seven-colored radiance. . .

Within the Heart Devil illusion.

Fang Xi, having condensed his Nascent Soul, was freely roaming the mortal world, meting out vengeance and rewards.

“May the Great Compassionate Eternal Green Great Emperor grant his blessing. . . ”

Suddenly, faint, elusive prayers reached his ears.

“This. . . who is praying. . . Eternal Green Great Emperor, and who is that? Who am I? Who is me? Losing myself? ”

Fang Xi's eyes flickered with confusion, then he suddenly recalled: “‘East Florescence Supreme Profound True Endless Green Great Emperor’. . . How familiar that sounds. . . ”

“Right, this is my Heart Devil Tribulation. The Shinto Avatar is attempting to synchronize senses with the main body, using the power of faith and vows to assault the Dao heart. . . This is an extremely risky, unconventional move. . . Has the situation truly become this dire? ”

In the next instant, a seven-colored glow flashed in his eyes, and the world shattered instantly.

......

Immortal music lingered.

When Fang Xi regained his senses, he was already standing before an Immortal Gate.

It was impossible to describe the height of this Immortal Gate; it simply conveyed a sense of grandeur and vastness. . . Five-colored clouds gathered above it, and its doors were intricately carved with various exotic beasts and profound patterns.

In the depths of his being, a consciousness told him that beyond this gate lay immortality!

Just one step, and he could achieve the True Immortal realm, with an undying primordial spirit!

“I. . . ”

As Fang Xi was about to take a step, a deluge of indescribable memory fragments suddenly surged into his mind.

Within them were apocalyptic scenes of floods raging, volcanoes erupting, and heavens colliding. . .

There was also the flourishing vitality of growing plants and multiplying myriad races. . .

Countless images flashed by, conveying emotions of destruction, joy, and more. . . Ultimately, they all converged into—the Heavenly Dao is merciless!

‘This is. . . Heavenly Dao assimilation? ’

‘Dao assimilation? ! ’

‘Was this the kind of corruption the Heavenly Emperor faced back then? ’

Fang Xi instantly sobered, passing the Immortal Gate without entering.

‘The Immortal Gate conjured by my Heart Devil Tribulation is still somewhat inferior to a true Heavenly Dao Immortal Gate. . . ’

He let out a hearty laugh, and everything, everything, began to shatter explosively. . .

Inside the cave abode.

Fang Xi opened his eyes and immediately formed a hand seal.

The Shinto Avatar smiled faintly, pressed his Heavenly Peace Crown, and the seven-colored wish wheel behind his head vanished without a trace.

Though Fang Xi had experienced thousands of lifetimes within the Heart Devil Tribulation, only a fleeting moment had passed in the outside world!

“Using ‘losing oneself’ and ‘Dao assimilation’. . . to counter the Heart Devil Tribulation, it truly works. . . ”

Fang Xi's main body murmured, looking at the shattered treasures on the ground and the empty bottles, and couldn't help but let out a wry chuckle: “These pills and treasures I collected, proclaimed to be greatly beneficial for the Heart Devil Tribulation, turned out to be only so-so. Thankfully, they bought me time. . . better than nothing. ”

As he muttered, in the sky outside, heaven and earth primordial qi surged, the power of laws manifested, and another layer of misty green breeze descended.

This wind grew stronger, howling as it swept towards the Immortal Jade Mountain.

This pseudo-immortal vein, under the green gale, was actually peeled away layer by layer, countless Immortal Jade turning into dust and dissipating.

—The Bì Wind Tribulation!

Whoosh, whoosh!

The Bì wind quickly reached Fang Xi's cave abode. The dense, multi-colored restrictions, under the Bì wind, shattered like soap bubbles.

The top layer of the cave abode was completely scoured away, revealing Fang Xi's tall and straight figure.

“Finally. . . it has come? ”

Light shimmered in the External Avatar's hand, and a "human puppet" resembling Wind Shadow Moon flew out, spitting a stream of green light from its mouth.

Within the stream of light was a misty green pearl, none other than the "Dingfeng Immortal Pearl"!

“Go! ”

The human puppet softly cried out, and a drop of blood seeped from the tip of each of its ten fingers, falling onto the surface of the Dingfeng Immortal Pearl, shattering lines of bloodline restrictions.

The Dingfeng Immortal Pearl floated up, and the power of wind-attribute laws surged, along with a unique application that Fang Xi still couldn't comprehend.

Wave!

Invisible ripples swept forth, passing through the misty green Bì wind!

In the next moment, the power of the Bì wind was greatly diminished, and even its force seemed to slow considerably.

“It seems, among the tribulation-withstanding items prepared by the External Avatar, this ‘Dingfeng Immortal Pearl’ is the most effective? ”

Fang Xi nodded slightly in his heart, pushing his hands outward.

Under the activation of his current immortal essence power, the Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light's power surged even further, transforming into a rotating green and red light shield that enveloped him entirely.

The greatly weakened Bì wind struck the Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light Shield, causing it to crackle, but it ultimately failed to break through this layer of defense.

As the Bì wind gradually subsided, an inexplicable flame abruptly appeared within Fang Xi's body.

The vigorous vitality of his Eternal Evergreen Body, under these strange flames, completely turned into the best fuel!

—The Yin Fire Tribulation!

Even Mahayana-level immortal essence power rapidly dissipated under the Yin Fire.

Fang Xi felt his vitality, magic power, and even lifespan burning away at a terrifying rate. . .

He no longer hesitated, forming a hand seal. A fiery red jade bottle appeared, and he swallowed its spiritual liquid in one gulp.

Fang Xi circulated his Divine Consciousness, using magic power to envelop the crimson spiritual liquid, and sent it into the Yin Fire.

His magic power and the spiritual liquid were rapidly evaporated by the Yin Fire.

At this moment, however, the Yin Fire began to take on faint traces of crimson.

“Yin Fire is incredibly difficult to extinguish, and extremely difficult to control. . . ”

“But if enough sand is mixed in, it can still be barely manipulated. . . ”

Fang Xi's incantations were ceaseless, as a black light flew towards him—it was his External Avatar.

“Go! ”

He pointed at the External Avatar, and the Yin Fire, which already carried traces of crimson, instantly detached from his main body and entered the External Avatar's body.

The secret art of the External Avatar was originally an peerless secret method for surviving tribulations and preserving one's life!

Using the External Avatar to bear the Yin Fire Tribulation might be even more effective than a substitute death puppet!

Furthermore, the External Avatar was protected by the Six Paths Demonic Flame; this diluted Yin Fire might even enhance the power of the Six Paths Demonic Flame!

In a flash, Fang Xi had overcome the two tribulations of wind and fire.

And at this moment, boundless thunderclouds had already covered the sky above the mountain range. Void passages opened one after another, from which tribulation lightning of different colors emerged.

Black, white, red, yellow, green. . . various colored tribulation lightning converged, forming streaks of Five-Colored Heavenly Lightning!

A biting heavenly might descended, causing even the Void Amalgamation demon beasts guarding the outermost perimeter to shiver.

“A Mahayana-level. . . Five-Colored Immortal Lightning Tribulation? ! ”

“Finally. . . ”

Upon the incomplete jade mountain, Fang Xi smiled faintly. The "Fang Xian Dao Palace" manifested above his head, and he held the Fifth Generation Green Reaping Sword.

Upon his body, the Myriad Demon Armor appeared.

All around him, the radiance of the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm flickered.

The power of his spirit domain spread, actively resisting the heavenly might.

He had prepared for many years, accumulating so many treasures and secret arts to deal with lightning tribulations, all for this very moment!

Crack!

The first bolt of Five-Colored Tribulation Lightning descended.

Fang Xi pressed the Myriad Demon Armor, and four phantom spirits appeared, transforming into four-colored profound light that shot into the sky, weakening the tribulation lightning.

This Myriad Demon Armor secret art, through his continuous cultivation and especially the upgrading of the four spirits' essence blood, now possessed astonishing power.

It was particularly effective at weakening heavenly tribulations!

The Five-Colored Tribulation Lightning was weakened by several tenths by the four-colored profound light, and then further layers of it were negated by the power of the Earth Immortal Spirit Domain.

By the time it reached Fang Xi's head, only an imperceptible wisp remained.

Behind Fang Xi, a pure white great sun appeared, and his Heavenly Demon True Body manifestation emerged, punching towards the heavens!

This bolt of tribulation lightning instantly annihilated!

Crack! Crack!

This scene seemed to enrage the heavens and earth. Two bolts of Five-Colored Immortal Lightning descended almost consecutively, their power far exceeding the first bolt.

Boom!

Amidst a massive roar, the four phantom spirits completely dissipated. Countless cracks appeared on the Myriad Demon Armor, and then it shattered entirely. . .

Bang!

In Fang Xi's hand, the light screens generated by numerous lightning-transforming treasures trembled. Treasures that even Void Amalgamation cultivators would covet exploded one after another.

Wisps of five-colored lightning transformed into electric arcs, splashing onto his Heavenly Demon True Body, leaving the manifestation riddled with holes.

Whoosh!

The fourth bolt of Five-Colored Immortal Lightning descended with a concentrated aura of destruction.

“Sword, come! ”

Fang Xi extended his right hand. From the sword puppet's sheath, a foot-long green flying sword transformed into a stream of light, landing on the Fifth Generation Green Reaping Sword to form its tip.

“Slash! ”

He swung his sword, and a crescent-shaped green sword light shot straight into the sky, mixed with wisps of green wood-attribute power of laws.

Wave!

The Five-Colored Tribulation Lightning was cleaved apart by a single sword strike, but Fang Xi lowered his head, his brows furrowed.

He saw that the tip of the Fifth Generation Green Reaping Sword had been directly cleaved off, letting out a mournful cry as if unable to bear the burden.

‘If I forcibly continue like this and take a few more bolts of immortal lightning. . . cracks might appear on this section of the blade, or it might even be destroyed? ’

‘After all, it’s an incomplete Immortal Abode Rare Treasure; it was never as stable as a complete one. . . Furthermore, there’s a missing section of the blade between the hilt and the tip of the Fifth Generation Green Reaping Sword, which I only forcefully mended with magic power. . . ’

‘Judging by this, when it comes to the seventh, eighth, or even ninth Immortal Lightning Tribulation of the Mahayana stage, even a complete Immortal Abode Rare Treasure might have a chance of being damaged? ’

Fang Xi seemed to understand somewhat how so many incomplete Immortal Abode Rare Treasures and fragments of Immortal Abode Rare Treasures came to be. . .
