Chapter 992 : The Tenth Heavenly Tribulation

The Five Elements Primordial Chaos Thunder Tribulation [a cataclysmic tribulation of thunder born from the primordial chaos of the five elements] stretched boundlessly across the heavens. The Five-Colored Divine Thunder [divine lightning imbued with the power of the five elements] descended, carrying with it the light of the Primordial Chaos [the formless, primordial state before creation]. Its momentum was vast and terrifying, like a world-ending divine thunderbolt that chilled the soul.

Facing this power sufficient to slay gods and demons, Eldrin Chen rose to his full height. With a flick of his sleeve, he summoned and unleashed a beam of Primordial Chaos Radiance [a destructive light born from the essence of primordial chaos].

That Primordial Chaos Radiance was a manifestation of the Primordial Chaos Limitless Law [a supreme cultivation art governing the boundless principles of primordial chaos], carrying the annihilating power to erase all existence. It soared skyward and, in a single clash, scattered the vast expanse of Tribulation Clouds [ominous clouds that gather to unleash heavenly tribulations].

"Splendid—"

Witnessing Eldrin Chen block the ninth Heavenly Thunder Tribulation [a trial of divine lightning sent by the heavens] with a single strike, the onlookers erupted in wild joy.

Yet, only Eldrin Chen's brow remained furrowed with grave solemnity. For he knew with perfect clarity that by myself [referring to Eldrin Chen] drawing in and refining the Primordial Essence [the purest, foundational energy of creation], the workings of fate would inevitably summon a Tenth Heavenly Thunder Tribulation [a legendary tenth and final stage of the heavenly thunder tribulation].

Sure enough, as time flowed on, the Tribulation Clouds in the void above did not disperse. Instead, the scattered clouds began to coalesce once more, gathering with renewed purpose.

Tribulation energy [the destructive essence that forms heavenly trials] poured down from the void in an endless stream. Before long, it condensed into an even more terrifying formation of Tribulation Clouds.

This Heavenly Thunder Tribulation split into five lights, manifesting ten hues of radiant color. It was formed from the convergence of ten distinct tribulation energies and Laws of the Dao [the fundamental principles that govern all existence]: the Wood-First Divine Thunder [the divine thunder of initiating wood], the Yi Wood [the soft, nurturing aspect of wood essence], the Fire-Sun Divine Thunder [the divine thunder of the blazing sun], Ding Fire [the strong, radiant aspect of fire essence], the Earth-Fortress [the divine thunder of the unyielding earth], Ji Earth [the fertile, yielding aspect of earth essence], the Metallic Essence [the sharp, unyielding aspect of metal essence], the Refined Gold [the pure, tempered aspect of metal essence], the Water-Flood Divine Thunder [the divine thunder of the deluge], and the Flood Water [the overwhelming, destructive aspect of water essence].

Thus intertwined, these ten tribulation energies became an indestructible fusion, ultimately transforming into a single, magnificent bolt of five-colored, ten-hued divine thunder that descended from the sky. This novel is serialized on @udio-novel.com. Visit for updates.

"Disaster!"

Witnessing this scene, the hearts of all present sank with a heavy thud.

The ten-colored Heavenly Thunder Tribulation [a cataclysmic trial of heavenly lightning] before them was utterly terrifying, displaying a power that annihilated all. It was feared that even a true Nine Heavens [the highest celestial realm] Immortal would likely succumb to such a calamity.

Eldrin Chen's expression turned profoundly grave. With a flick of his sleeve, he unleashed the Primordial Chaos Limitless Law [a supreme cultivation art of boundless primordial chaos]. A Primordial Chaos Radiance [a divine light born of primordial chaos] shot skyward with a *whoosh*, dispersing nearly half the might of the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation.

Immediately after, Eldrin Chen channeled his Immortal Essence [the foundational energy of an immortal], causing the Primordial Dao Fruit [the condensed fruit of one's primordial cultivation path] within him to spin and fly out, giving birth to a Primordial Chaos Immortal Embryo [an embryonic immortal form born of primordial chaos].

The moment this Primordial Chaos Immortal Embryo manifested, its hands formed the seal of the Limitless [the boundless and infinite Dao], transforming into a Primordial Chaos Ascendant Immortal Radiance [a radiant light of ascendant immortality from primordial chaos] that struck forth, utterly shattering the Tenth Heavenly Thunder Tribulation [the tenth and final wave of the heavenly thunder trial].

After dispersing the heavenly tribulation, the Primordial Chaos Immortal Embryo formed another seal, guiding the scattered power of the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation to cascade down, all of it pouring onto Eldrin Chen's Immortal Embryo [the embryonic immortal form] and Immortal Physique [the immortal body].

Nourished by this Heavenly Thunder Tribulation essence, Eldrin Chen's Immortal Embryo and Immortal Physique grew even more resplendent, a clear sign of immense benefit.

"He has transcended it!"

Having successfully passed the Immortal Ascension Tribulation [the heavenly trial to ascend to immortality], Eldrin Chen finally allowed himself a sigh of relief, his gaze lifting towards the Firmament [the vault of heaven] above.

At the very edge of the boundless Tribulation Clouds, a vortex silently yawned open. From within its depths, three beams of supremely resplendent Immortal Qi [the quintessential energy of immortality] descended.

"Source Immortal Qi [the primordial source energy of immortality]!"

The moment they beheld that immortal radiance, a look of profound yearning dawned upon the faces of all present.

Source Immortal Qi, also known as Immortal Qi Origin, is a form of Immortal Qi that can only be conceived by the cosmos's fundamental laws after a cultivator successfully transcends the Immortal Ascension Tribulation [the final heavenly trial to ascend to immortality].

This Immortal Qi possesses the wondrous ability to facilitate the 'flight to immortality,' enabling a cultivator to undergo a complete metamorphosis, shedding their mortal shell to become truly immortal.

Now, as the three strands of Immortal Qi descended, they all flowed into Eldrin Chen's body. One was absorbed by his Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body [a physique of unbreakable primordial chaos], another merged into his Primordial Dao Fruit [the fruit of his primordial Dao], and the final strand fused with his Primordial Chaos Limitless Law [the cultivation art of limitless primordial chaos].

Having received these three strands of Immortal Qi, Eldrin Chen immediately closed his eyes. He felt his very Divine Soul [the highest form of a cultivator's spiritual core] undergoing an ultimate sublimation.

His Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body, his Primordial Chaos Limitless Law, and his Primordial Dao Fruit all became flawlessly integrated and whole. A mysterious, binding shackle was shattered, clearly signifying that his path of cultivation could now continue to even greater heights.

It was only at this moment that Eldrin Chen truly understood why a cultivator must forge three distinct Dao Fruit [the condensed essence of one's cultivated Dao] at the moment of ascension to secure a vaster and brighter future as an immortal.

For if a cultivator ascends to immortality by following only a single path, they will receive but a single strand of Source Immortal Qi.

Without this crucial Source Immortal Qi [the primordial, foundational energy that forms the basis of an immortal's cultivation path], the other two paths besides one's primary cultivation path, having never been sublimated by the Source Immortal Qi, would inevitably face myriad hardships in future cultivation.

Even if one's cultivation later becomes profound, advancing to the Ascendant Immortal Creation Realm [the realm where an immortal can create and shape reality], or even to the Ascendant Immortal Sky-Touching Realm [the realm where an immortal's power touches the heavens], and manages to complete the other two paths.

They would still be trapped at the Ascendant Immortal Profound Realm [the foundational realm of an ascended immortal] due to the lack of Source Immortal Qi, forever unable to rival one's primary cultivation path.

That Calamity Demon God [a supreme demonic deity embodying calamity and ruin] was precisely such a case. Originally an unparalleled Demon God [a being of immense demonic power and divinity] cultivating the Calamity Law [the divine law governing calamity and destruction], after breaking through to the Ascendant Immortal Creation Realm, he supplemented his physical shortcomings and cultivated the Demon God Indestructible Body [an impervious physique of a demon god].

Yet, this Demon God body had never been nourished by Source Immortal Qi, making its cultivation exceedingly difficult, remaining merely at the early stage of the Immortal Ascension realm. This was precisely why Eldrin Chen managed to ambush him and sever one of his arms.

Meanwhile, as the Tribulation Clouds [the ominous clouds that gather during a cultivator's heavenly tribulation] above the Firmament [the vault of heaven] gradually dissipated, an immeasurable amount of time seemed to pass. This chapter is provided by audio-novel . com. Support the original.

Eldrin Chen waited until his Dao Fruit [the crystallized fruit of one's cultivation and comprehension of the Dao], Immortal Physique [the transcendent physical form of an immortal], and even his Laws of the Dao [the fundamental principles and powers of the Dao he commanded] had all become perfectly harmonious and flawless before slowly opening his eyes.

Having transcended this Immortal Ascension Tribulation [the cataclysmic heavenly trial to ascend to immortality], his Immortal Physique, Laws of the Dao, and Dao Fruit were now all consummated and flawless.

In this moment, Eldrin Chen appeared even more ethereal and transcendent. Clad in a White Robe [a robe of pristine white] as pure as snow, his tall and slender figure was enveloped in a hazy shroud of Immortal Qi [the radiant energy unique to immortals], obscuring that supreme visage.

Yet, the onlookers caught a faint glimpse: between his brows, a dazzling, silvery-white immortal mark had coalesced—a clear sign he was no longer a denizen of the mortal dust.

"Congratulations, Ancient Ancestor! Felicitations, Ancient Ancestor!"

"We celebrate your successful ascension to immortality, Ancient Ancestor! May your immortal path be eternal and prosperous, and may you gaze upon the mortal dust for countless eons."

At this moment, not even the various Demigod Ancestor [a cultivator who has reached the pinnacle of the mortal realm, half-step into immortality] dared to show disrespect. They all prostrated themselves reverently, offering their congratulations on the birth of a Nine Heavens Banished Immortal [an immortal who has transcended the mortal world and ascended to the highest celestial realm].

Shrouded in the Immortal Qi [the purest energy of an immortal] that enveloped his form, Eldrin Chen stood firm in the Nine Heavens Above [the highest celestial realm], his gaze sweeping over the vast expanse of seas and lands stretching for millions of Li-lengths. The entirety of the great Eastern Sea lay beneath his sight.

He looked silently upon the prostrate crowd, yet within his heart, there was none of the anticipated excitement or elation, nor the imagined surge of triumphant spirit.

He simply observed them with profound calm, gave a slight nod, and with a wave of his hand, gently raised them all to their feet.

"Today marks the joyous occasion of This Sovereign's ascension to immortality. Your presence here to witness the ceremony merits the blessing of bathing in immortal light."

As Eldrin Chen's words fell, he swept his sleeve, unleashing a tidal wave of Heaven Immortal [a true immortal who has ascended to the celestial realm] light that inundated the heavens and earth for millions of Li-lengths in every direction.

Bathed in this immortal radiance, the mountains and rivers within those millions of Li-lengths underwent a cataclysmic transformation.

Dim-witted mortal fish, touched by the light, had their spiritual nature awakened, embarking upon the path of cultivation. Plants and trees upon the islands, bathed in the immortal glow, began to shimmer with an inner light, sprouting forth vibrant and vigorous Spiritual Root [the innate foundation that determines a being's potential for cultivation].

Great Demonic Beasts had their demonic aura [the corrupting energy inherent to demonic beings] cleansed away, setting foot upon the righteous path of cultivation. Likewise, Demonic Cultivator experienced profound enlightenment, their innate ferocity and Demonic Fiend Qi [the malevolent energy cultivated by demonic practitioners] washed pure, utterly freed from the torment of demonic affliction.

The Immortal Radiance [the luminous manifestation of an Immortal's power] shone for a full seven days. All living beings bathed in its glow, each feeling, to a greater or lesser degree, reborn and reforged. The path of their future cultivation had now grown vastly broader.

Only after those seven days did Eldrin Chen finally withdraw the Immortal Radiance. He then turned his gaze to the nearly one hundred Nascent Soul Dao Lord [powerful cultivators who have formed their Nascent Soul, a spiritual infant] who had come to witness the ceremony.

With a mere flick of his sleeve, the hundred-plus Dao Lord found themselves transported before him.

"We pay our respects to the Immortal!"

Discovering themselves shifted before Eldrin Chen, the assembled Dao Lord could not suppress looks of wild joy, their hearts sensing that a great opportunity had arrived.
