Chapter 639: Absorbing Heavenly Tribulation

Chapter 639: Chapter 639: Absorbing Heavenly Tribulation

Boom! Boom! Boom...

Thunderous roars echoed from the heavenly tribulation clouds, and one could faintly make out a Four-clawed Golden Dragon tumbling within, making it clear that Qin Jun was currently battling against the thunder.

Sun Wukong activated his fiery eyes and golden pupils to observe and saw Qin Jun flitting about within the thunderclouds like a celestial being, with every swing of his Seven Star Sword cutting down a bolt of lightning. However, the countless lightning bolts couldn’t all be scattered; instead, he kept getting struck by them in succession.

This scene reminded Sun Wukong of the time he was trapped inside Tai Shang Lao Jun’s alchemy furnace, with the Liuding Divine Fire burning him, an experience so excruciatingly painful it was unspeakable.

The might of the heavenly thunder grew increasingly fierce, striking Qin Jun until he was drenched in blood, but his eyes shone ever brighter.

"At this rate, I might not be able to withstand the latter stages of the heavenly tribulation!"

Qin Jun thought anxiously. Regardless of his lively vigor at present, judging by the momentum of the tribulation, it was likely to persist for a while, and this was just the beginning!

"Your current tribulation is even more challenging than mine when I was breaking through to the True Immortal Realm. Do it yourself, whether you become a dragon or a worm will be determined today."

Ji Yongsheng spoke lightly in Qin Jun’s mind, which no matter how Qin Jun heard it, seemed to carry a hint of mockery.

With that thought, Qin Jun took out the Silver Dragon Slaying Spear with his left hand, multitasking to disperse the surrounding onslaught of rolling thunder.

Countless dragon and phoenix silhouettes roared as they charged towards him, attempting to engulf Qin Jun. In a flash, he burst forth with boundless Samadhi Real Fire, directly obliterating all the dragon and phoenix figures around him.

Hum—

Suddenly, Qin Jun felt a sound inside him akin to a tolling bell, followed by a surge of purple light shooting out from the top of his head. It was the Ziwei Emperor Star Dao Fruit, which hovered and spun above him.

The Ziwei Emperor Star Dao Fruit, resembling a purple-colored star with an uneven surface, emitted wisp after wisp of purple energy, much like the purple aura that presents itself at dawn.

Most importantly, around the Ziwei Emperor Star Dao Fruit revolved a golden compass, the Wheel of Fate itself.

Streaks of purple light pierced through the thunderclouds, leaving everyone watching moved.

"Indeed, it is..."

Bai Ze narrowed his eyes slightly, his hands trembling slightly, obviously quite excited.

Sun Wukong’s expression also shook, for with his fiery eyes and golden pupils, he could clearly see the appearance of the Ziwei Emperor Star Dao Fruit. His teaching master, Ancestral Patriarch Bodhi, once said, "Among myriad Dao fruits, only Ziwei claims the title of Emperor."

Although his own Dao fruit was also extraordinary, it still paled in comparison to the Ziwei Emperor Star Dao Fruit.

"This guy..." Sun Wukong’s eyes revealed a complex expression.

Although Yuan Hong did not possess fiery eyes and golden pupils, he too could sense the imperial authority of the Ziwei Emperor Star Dao Fruit, secretly marveling at His Majesty’s astonishing talent.

Just then, the rolling thunderclouds began to churn inward, shrinking at a visible rate before everyone’s astonished eyes.

Soon, the thunderclouds were absorbed into the Ziwei Emperor Star Dao Fruit, with Qin Jun himself looking on in stunned silence.

Damn it!

Could it be any more domineering?

Qin Jun suddenly felt that he had still underestimated the terror of the Ziwei Emperor Star Dao Fruit. It absorbed the heavenly tribulation?

Sun Wukong, Yuan Hong, Chang’e, Bai Ze, Liu Bowen, Liu Ruolai, and the many soldiers all watched in dumbfounded silence, their minds unable to process what had just happened.

Could the tribulation be crossed like this?

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for breaking through to the True Immortal Realm! You are hereby rewarded with one God and Demon summoning opportunity!"

Accompanied by the system’s prompt sound, a surge of powerful mana erupted from within Qin Jun, with dragon qi circling around his body. The surrounding space resonated with the faint rumble of thunder and lightning, making him appear like an eternal god, exuding an incomparable aura.

The Ziwei Emperor Star Dao Fruit continued to spin wildly above Qin Jun’s head. Suddenly, the Wheel of Fate began to adhere to the surface of the Ziwei Emperor Star Dao Fruit, whereas before it had always been revolving at a distance.

Qin Jun didn’t notice this, still immersed in the exhilaration of his breakthrough.

Quickly, the Wheel of Fate was absorbed by the Ziwei Emperor Star Dao Fruit, vanishing without a trace, and then the Ziwei Emperor Star Dao Fruit rapidly burrowed into the top of his head.

"How is this possible! Your Ziwei Emperor Star Dao Fruit has actually absorbed the Wheel of Fate... Impossible..."

Ji Yongsheng’s voice of disbelief echoed within Qin Jun’s mind, leaving Qin Jun utterly bewildered.

"Have I absorbed it? Why don’t I feel anything?" Qin Jun subconsciously looked within, only to find that there was indeed no trace of Destiny’s Wheel, just the operation of the Ziwei Emperor Star Dao fruit within his body.

"Although Destiny’s Wheel can assist beings, it has never been absorbed before..."

Ji Yongsheng muttered to himself, appearing quite troubled and scared.

Qin Jun was speechless, unable to resist cursing in his heart, "What’s there to fear, I’m not even scared!"

After all, he was destined to defy the heavens!

What did it matter if he absorbed Destiny’s Wheel?

If there were no predecessors, could he not become that predecessor?

"You don’t understand..." Ji Yongsheng said with a bitter smile.

"Then tell me, is it good fortune or disaster?"

As Qin Jun flew towards the others, he asked in his mind, for it was the first time he had heard Ji Yongsheng so apprehensive.

Landing on the ground, Yuan Hong and the others came forward to congratulate Qin Jun, who had now ascended to the True Immortal Realm.

Reflecting on their journey, they all felt as if they were in a dream.

Qin Jun’s cultivation had advanced at an astoundingly rapid pace, as swift as the changes in the mightiest warriors of the Great Qin Heavenly Court, leaving people speechless with awe.

Yuan Hong had once been Qin Jun’s top lieutenant, but now could only be ranked in the top five.

It seemed with each powerhouse emerging, it wouldn’t be long before they were replaced by someone stronger, causing a vague sense of sorrow in the hearts of these god and demons.

"I don’t know if it’s good fortune or disaster; I can no longer grasp your future," Ji Yongsheng said with a complex tone.

Grasp?

Just by you?

Qin Jun sneered disdainfully, are you even as formidable as my system?

As soon as the system was mentioned, it automatically blocked Ji Yongsheng, leaving the poor fellow feeling depressed again, as he once more couldn’t sense the outside world or Qin Jun’s inner thoughts.

"Alright, let’s have a feast today, and celebrate across the entire island!"

Qin Jun declared with a spirited laugh, his breakthrough to the True Immortal Realm had even earned him another God and Demon summoning opportunity, on top of the designated summoning he had saved up before, filling his heart with joy.

"Yes!"

Liu Bowen laughed heartily, the stronger Qin Jun became, the happier he was, as it meant the Great Qin Heavenly Court would grow even more powerful.

"Your Majesty truly has the natural bearing of an Emperor," Bai Ze remarked with a meaningful tone, causing Qin Jun to shudder slightly, as if she could see through everything about him.

Qin Jun waved his hand with a smile, "Even the mightiest Emperor needs supporters; you all are the greatest ace in my dealings with the world."

Everybody laughed upon hearing this, appreciating that despite his high achievements, Qin Jun remained humble, a truly commendable trait.

Afterward, Qin Jun dismissed everyone and returned alone to the Saint Emperor Palace.

"System, begin the normal summoning!"

Qin Jun commanded while seated on his throne, rubbing his hands together with a grin. After his breakthrough to the True Immortal Realm, he felt his strength had increased more than tenfold, with the mana within him like a boundless ocean, inexhaustible.

"Ding! Commencing random summoning of God and Demon!"

The familiar system notification sounded, while Qin Jun had already started to imagine the scene after summoning Kong Xuan.

Kong Xuan, as a Daluo Golden Immortal, should also be very powerful.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for summoning the Primordial Lord of Heaven, do you wish to summon again?"

"Pff..."
