Claiming the Throne of Gods, Starting from the Rebirth of Nezha
Chapter 220: Nine-layered Blue Sky Tribulation

Chapter 220: Chapter 220: Nine-layered Blue Sky Tribulation

"The sacrificial platform has been set up. I see that your essence, qi, and spirit have reached their peak. If you are truly ready, you can consume the Ten Thousand Spirit Fruit and undergo the Heavenly Tribulation now."

Nezha nodded and took out the crystalline Ten Thousand Spirit Fruit from the Qiankun Bag.

As soon as this item appeared, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi within the mountains became significantly richer.

The peel of this spirit fruit was as thin as a cicada’s wing, almost transparent, revealing the milky spiritual liquid flowing inside.

The most extraordinary part was the flesh, not the usual lustrous jade color of spirit fruits, but rather a frozen icy essence like a cold lake, so clear it reflected images. On closer inspection, countless golden threads floated within the flesh, moving slowly like living creatures. These were the condensed fragments of the Heaven and Earth Laws. The pit was dark, shaped like a sitting child with closed eyes, meditating on the lotus platform.

Nezha stepped onto the platform and asked, "What’s the purpose of this platform?"

"No real purpose, just to make you look cooler when you get struck by lightning later."

"?"

"What? You won’t even let me watch after getting married? Let me tell you, even if you can’t see me, I can still see you. I even sneaked into your bathtub when you were bathing."

Nezha was speechless: "You don’t seem like an artifact spirit; you seem more like a female rogue."

"Say that again?"

Nezha ignored her, quickly ate the fruit, kept the pit, and then closed his eyes to regulate his breath, feeling the changes within his body.

Dozens of complex Dao Traces emerged in his mind, becoming clear at a glance.

He instinctively waved his arms, deducing and verifying the Dao. Soon, azure light circled around him as he formed hand seals, turning the azure qi into a flying sword orbiting around him.

At the summit of the Nameless Mountain, dark clouds loomed overhead.

Nezha sat cross-legged on the Tribulation Crossing Platform, his black robe billowing in the wind.

Not far away, on top of another mountain, an old Taoist was leading his young disciples into the mountains to gather herbs.

Suddenly, they saw clear skies, but a mountain peak in the distance was covered with dark clouds, so the old Taoist furrowed his brow to observe.

The dark clouds in the sky began to rotate, forming a massive vortex, with faint flashes of lightning inside.

The head disciple saw this, furrowed his brows, and was the first to speak, "Dark clouds around the mountain, could it be the work of a demon?"

"Senior brother, my eyesight isn’t as good as yours. Can you see what’s happening over there?" The little junior sister, who had recently entered the God Absorption Realm, jumped up to look but could only see a mass of dark clouds.

’Senior brother’ frowned and said, "Isn’t it just you being lazy and playful, taking so long to enter the God Absorption Realm? If you were like me, learning the Spirit Eye Technique early on, you wouldn’t be unable to see this."

Scolded by senior brother, the other brothers and sisters fell silent.

Their small sect had an extraordinary talent in the senior brother, whose Qi Sea was as vast as a pond, a rarity in their sect for decades and deeply loved by their master.

But just after he spoke, the third elder of the sect, their master who had reached the Loose Immortal Realm, slapped him on the head.

"Master, why did you hit me!"

"To wake you up, fool. Although there’s a dark cloud around the mountain, with lightning flashing, there’s no sign of demonic qi. How could it be a demon?"

Criticized by his master in public, even though the junior brothers and sisters remained serious, he still blushed and asked, "Master, then what is this?"

The third elder took a deep breath, his face solemn, "I fear some Daoist friend from another sect is undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation to ascend to the Golden Immortal Realm."

"Golden Immortal!"

Upon hearing this, everyone cried out in surprise.

The little junior sister, though usually lazy during cultivation, knew what the Golden Immortal Realm meant. Looking at the distant mountain peak covered in dark clouds, even though she couldn’t see clearly, her eyes still sparkled with awe.

The Wutou Mountain Range spanned thousands of miles, hosting twelve sects. The Yunshan Sect used to be the leader because they had a Sect Master at the Golden Immortal Realm.

But since the Sect Master passed away fifty years ago, Yunshan Sect’s status had plummeted. If not for the thousand-year foundation and numerous disciples, other sects would have done more than just harbor ambitions.

The third elder sighed, "I’ve been in the Loose Immortal Realm for five hundred years, comprehending only six Dao Traces. In this life, I’m afraid I have no hope of reaching the Golden Immortal Realm. But you are all still young, especially you, eldest disciple. Watch closely, for the tribulation to become a Golden Immortal is extraordinary. I hope you can gain some insight."

"Yes, Master!"

The group looked at their talented senior brother, who stood tall and confident, embodying the hope of their sect’s future glory.

"I wonder which sect this formidable senior comes from?" the little junior sister couldn’t help but mutter.

She lifted the hem of her yellow skirt, tiptoed onto a large rock, and looked up.

"It’s coming!"

The third elder’s face turned serious, and everyone’s heart rose in their chests.

The eldest disciple’s face changed first, exclaiming, "How did the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi become so violent!"

"Stay calm, maintain your composure. Didn’t I tell you before? The Heavenly Tribulation is birthed by the heavens, embodying the will of the heavens, which contain the wrath of thunder!"

But before he finished, a flash of azure light streaked across the sky, and the usually composed third elder was shocked, blurting out:

"It’s the Nine-layered Blue Sky Tribulation! How is this possible?"

Rumble!

The first Tribulation Thunder fell, and a blue thunderbolt as thick as a water barrel tore through the sky, connecting heaven and earth!

Then a blinding light exploded, carrying a heavenly might that made all the disciples of Yunshan Sect tremble from afar.

"Master, what is the Nine-layered Blue Sky Tribulation?"

The third elder took a deep breath and said solemnly, "It is said that in the world, any Qi Refiner who forms the Nine-Pattern Divine Pill faces heavenly tribulation when forming the Golden Core and again when achieving the Golden Immortal Realm, enduring the terrifying Nine-layered Blue Sky Tribulation. Each layer is a thunder tribulation of ultimate destruction! Qi Refiners who qualify for this tribulation and survive it are one in a million!"

"Ah, then isn’t this senior in great danger?" The little junior sister looked worried.

But the senior brother, on whom the sect had pinned great hopes, understood the deeper meaning of his master’s words.

He had recently comprehended the Golden Core Technique and was preparing to form a Golden Core. This was a significant event for both him and the Yunshan Sect.

So significant that the sect held a grand elder meeting to allocate some of their foundation resources, giving him the opportunity to strive for a Fourth Grade Golden Core.

And the distant senior undergoing the tribulation had once formed the legendary Nine-Pattern Divine Pill!

Unaware of their shock, Nezha’s body had long since changed. Receiving the first Thunder Tribulation directly, he felt a heavy pressure on his chest, blood seeping from his mouth, taking significant internal injuries right from the start.

He marveled at the first Tribulation Thunder’s terror, understanding why so few in the Cultivation World survived the tribulation.

Without giving Nezha a break, the second Thunder Tribulation followed.

This time, the thunder appeared deep purple, even more powerful than before.

Nezha bit his tongue, spraying a mouthful of essence blood onto an iron sword. The sword’s body instantly expanded several times, turning into an azure rainbow.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Nine consecutive Thunder Tribulations fell, each one more dreadful than the last.

Nezha’s clothes were in tatters, revealing his muscular upper body, covered in fine cracks from which blood oozed.

Yet the light in his eyes grew brighter, like burning flames.

"Not enough!"

He howled at the sky, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi raging within him.

At that moment, the dark clouds in the sky turned crimson, a scorching aura sweeping over.

Seeing this, the distant third elder was completely dumbfounded, wide-eyed as if struck by a great shock, his voice trembling:

"The second tribulation, the Heavenly Fire Tribulation!"
