Chapter 791: Chapter 810: Heavenly Dao First Tribulation

“Thinking… thinking to convert me… you two are delusional,” Ye Xuan’s body was full of cracks, wisps of death aura entwined around him, yet his bloody eyes were staring maliciously and viciously at the Western Two Saints.

“What an ancient Evil Demon!” Jieyin’s look of shock faded away, turning into a full-faced gloom as he looked at Ye Xuan with great anger in his eyes.

“To abandon all your Cultivation and force out all of the Myriad Buddha Spiritual Energy, you truly are ruthless,” Zhunti said somberly, his face showing not the slightest hint of tranquility.

“Hahaha!”

Watching the grim faces of the Western Two Saints, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but burst into wild laughter. Just as the two Saints had said, within the black and white chessboard, he had suffered the conversion by the Golden Lotus Buddha Fire, and his own will was gradually being worn away. Even the Tribulation Immortal Transformation and the Heavenly Punishment Halberd could not help him survive this great tribulation.

However, it was at the very last moment that Ye Xuan had a flash of Spiritual Light, and suddenly thought of a solution.

Since the Golden Lotus Buddha Fire originated from the Myriad Buddha Spiritual Energy and was bursting out from every part of his body, if he dispersed all the Myriad Buddha Spiritual Energy within him, then he should be able to escape this great tribulation.

To disperse the Myriad Buddha Spiritual Energy would mean to waste away his own Cultivation, returning him to a state of severe injury and near death. For Ye Xuan, this was a tremendous calamity; however, it was the only way for him to escape disaster.

Fortunately, Ye Xuan’s bet was correct. As he dispersed his entire Cultivation and forced out the Myriad Buddha Spiritual Energy, the Golden Lotus Buddha Fire indeed dissipated, and he finally escaped from the black and white chessboard.

Spurt!

A stream of golden blood sprayed from Ye Xuan’s mouth, causing him to gasp with intense breaths. However, the Western Two Saints did not see the shock that flitted across Ye Xuan’s eyes.

Crack!

It was like the Chaos Thunder exploding, like Heaven and Earth shattering, Ye Xuan’s Sea of Consciousness thundered, feeling as though something within him was breaking, and an extremely Mysterious Power began to arise and circulate rapidly through the meridians in his body.

Have the shackles been broken?

Ye Xuan’s eyes were dull, his heart screaming in madness, because the Mysterious Power that emerged within him was terrifying to the extreme, frantically repairing his shattered Eight Extraordinary Meridians, yet it did not produce any strange phenomena.

Heavenly Dao’s First Tribulation?

This is the Heavenly Dao’s First Tribulation?

Ye Xuan roared within his heart, suddenly coming to an epiphany. The Golden Lotus Buddha Fire, derived from the Myriad Buddha Spiritual Energy, was his Heavenly Dao First Tribulation. He had, by fluke or fate, dispersed his entire Cultivation and passed through the Heavenly Dao’s First Tribulation!

Without destruction, there can be no establishment; from destruction comes rebirth; only by shedding the cocoon to transform into a butterfly, can one be reborn!

Ye Xuan’s heart roared, his fists clenched slightly. A terrifying force was quietly emerging within his body; he was enduring it, refusing to release it because the Western Two Saints were right before him. He absolutely could not let them discover his anomaly, and he definitely could not let the Western Two Saints know that at this moment, he was undergoing a terrifying transformation.

“Obstinate fool, you deserve to die!”

Bang!

With a flick of his sleeve, Jieyin struck Ye Xuan, sending him flying. His face was filled with rage, and Ye Xuan crashed violently into the ground. Blood continued to spurt forth from his mouth, his appearance was extremely wretched.

“Brother, calm your anger,”

Zhunti quickly intervened in an attempt to calm him down. Although he too wished to slaughter Ye Xuan, the latter was of great use to them, and his life could not actually be taken.

“The child is fiercely entangled with evil and would rather destroy his own cultivation than join our Buddhist sect,” Jieyin said, furious and spiteful.

Clearly, the Western Two Saints wished to convert Ye Xuan into a disciple of the Buddhist sect, but their near success turned into a failure, which incited Jieyin’s extreme resentment.

Now that the two Saints’ intentions had been revealed and come to Ye Xuan’s knowledge, it had made him wary, complicating matters for the Western Two Saints even further.

“Brother, please be patient.”

Zhunti spoke softly, pulling Jieyin aside to discuss something in whispers, while Ye Xuan lay bloodied and prostrate on the ground in the distance, seemingly unconscious.

“Without destruction, there can be no establishment; after destruction, one can rise again—the first tribulation of the Heavenly Dao, Quasi-Saints are invincible!”

Though Ye Xuan appeared grievously injured and on the brink of death, with his pale bones exposed and blood drenching his body, a world-shaking transformation was taking place within him, especially in his Sea of Consciousness where his Undying True Spirit had swelled by a wide margin, becoming denser and darker as it spun wildly.

Power, tremendous power—the kind of power unheard of in the Three Realms, yet now residing within Ye Xuan’s body, was secretly mending his injuries and empowering his physical form and Undying True Spirit.

Powerful, very powerful, extremely powerful.

Ye Xuan’s heart surged with excitement, his previously despondent eyes now flickered with thrill, because not only was his destroyed cultivation rapidly recovering, but his own cultivation level was also growing at an alarmingly terrifying rate.

Quasi-Saint Invincible!

Four simple words that defined Ye Xuan’s current condition; having surpassed the Heavenly Dao’s First Tribulation had brought about a qualitative leap that was too terrifying to speak of.

If the past Ye Xuan stood at the pinnacle of Quasi-Saints, having defeated two Great Demons at the cost of heavy injuries, then the Ye Xuan who had passed the Heavenly Dao First Tribulation would easily suppress the same two Great Demons if he were to face them again—such was the gap!

Yet this was not even what excited Ye Xuan the most. What truly exhilarated him was the emergence of a black power within him, a power mysterious and profound that faintly exuded Holy Light, seemingly nurturing a thread of a Saint’s aura.

Of course, this thread of a Saint’s aura was extremely subtle, so faint that even Ye Xuan himself found it hard to detect, yet it genuinely existed within him.

Fierce, crude, and domineering, such extremely intense adjectives still could not fully capture Ye Xuan’s feeling toward this power—but he had come to a profound realization.

This exceedingly faint Holy Power was overwhelmingly potent and terrible, incomparable to that generated by the Merit to Saint, for it was the embodiment of his Law and Dao, the most direct manifestation of Proving Dao with Power.

Germinating, nurturing, growing—the power hid in the deepest recesses of Ye Xuan’s being, promising unimaginable growth for his future.

Sigh!

Ye Xuan exhaled a heavy breath and gradually opened his eyes. He quietly concealed this new power, aware that despite passing the Heavenly Dao’s First Tribulation, he was still no match for the Western Two Saints, and he needed to continue biding his time.

His body shattered, bones exposed, Ye Xuan deliberately refrained from repairing his exterior, feigning extreme weakness, and dissipating his inner strength, leaving only that thread of terrifying Holy Power hidden within.

Deceiving heaven to cross the sea, tricking the Saints, only thus could he prevent the Western Two Saints from detecting anything amiss—a necessity for Ye Xuan.

At this moment!

Ye Xuan sat cross-legged, gazing in the direction of the Western Two Saints, who conversed under the Bodhi Tree. The Saints’ immense power had long sealed the void, leaving Ye Xuan clueless about their discussion.

But even without hearing the conversation, Ye Xuan knew the Western Two Saints would not let him go, and in anticipation of what he might face next, he could only prepare in advance.
