Chapter 1178: Three Reincarnation Tribulations (1/2)

In the Devouring Divine Palace, black light flickered before Lin Dong’s figure appeared. After which, a black light shot out from within his body, allowing Lin Dong to once again regain control of his body.

The first reaction Lin Dong had upon regaining control of his body, was to stare in shock at the Devouring Master seated in front of him. Although the Devouring Master was the one controlling his body previously, Lin Dong was still able to see the entire fight with his own eyes.

Moreover, he never expected the Devouring Master to be this terrifyingly powerful. After all, two Yimo kings, which were equivalent to Reincarnation stage experts, were eliminated by him within less than ten breaths’ time.

In fact, he was several times more capable than elder Qing Zhi!

Was this the strength of the eight Ancient Masters? Truly terrifying…

“Why? You seem to be startled?” The Devouring Master looked at Lin Dong and smilingly said.

“Compared to fellow Reincarnation stage experts, why are you so much stronger?” Lin Dong hesitated for a moment before asking.

“Reincarnation stage experts are also ranked accordingly. However, most ordinary experts are unaware of this fact.” The Devouring Master spoke in a faint voice. “Those who had just stepped into the Reincarnation stage are only considered as ordinary Reincarnation stage experts. For example, the two Yimo kings whom I killed previously, belonged to that stage.”

“Although Reincarnation stage experts are extremely powerful, they are all fearful of one event.”

“Reincarnation Tribulation?” Lin Dong softly asked. He knew a little about this subject.

“Aye.”

The Devouring Master nodded and said, “Within the Reincarnation stage, there are a total of three Reincarnation Tribulations. Moreover, one’s strength would be vastly different each time one passes through a tribulation. Of course, the Reincarnation Tribulations are extremely frightening and most Reincarnation stage experts die attempting them.”

“In fact, many Reincarnation stage experts do not dare to attempt it even if they are qualified to do so. That is because there is a real possibility that they could end up perishing if they took that step.”

Lin Dong had a grave expression. Since it could strike such fear into the hearts of powerful Reincarnation stage experts, this so called Reincarnation Tribulation must be exceedingly frightening.

“To obtain strength, you will always have to take risks. This is a principle that has never changed since the ancient times.” The Devouring Master smiled and said. “Since the ancient times, there were hardly any individuals who have successfully passed all three Reincarnation Tribulations.”

“Elder should have passed all three Reincarnation Tribulations, am I right?” Lin Dong smilingly asked.

“Ice Master huh?”

“Junior martial sister is the last disciple that teacher accepted. However, she was the most talented as well. In fact, after she advanced to the Reincarnation stage, within less than a year, she began to undergo the Reincarnation Tribulations. Moreover…”

Even with the Devouring Master’s temperament, a tinge of admiration flashed across his face when he mentioned this point. “She passed all three tribulations simultaneously.”

“Passed all three tribulations simultaneously?” Lin Dong was startled before shock involuntarily surged into his eyes. The Ice Master had actually passed all three Reincarnation Tribulations simultaneously?

“That’s right. The Reincarnation Tribulations are extremely terrifying and it is no mean feat to even pass one of them. Passing all three tribulations simultaneously is even more terrifying. Therefore, even I cannot match up to junior martial sister’s guts and abilities.” The Devouring Master sighed softly.

Lin Dong nodded. It’s no wonder the Ice Master was so highly regarded by the Symbol Ancestor. Such talent and courage were truly rare.

“What cultivation level was the Symbol Ancestor at?” Lin Dong asked out of curiosity. An expert who had successfully passed three Reincarnation Tribulations stood at the peak of this world. However, the Symbol Ancestor had clearly exceeded this level.

“After the Reincarnation stage, is the Ancestor stage.” The Devouring Master was wearing a grave expression. In fact, when he mentioned the last two words, his eyes became exceptionally solemn.

“Ancestor stage?”

The Devouring Master nodded and replied, “Since the beginning of time, teacher is the only person who has ever reached that stage. I have tried to analyse how to reach that stage for many millenniums, but I am still at a loss.”

With this in mind, the Devouring Master smiled and continued, “Of course, if that one step was so easy to comprehend, where would those Yimo find the courage to attack us?”

“Amongst the Yimo, it’s likely that only their emperor, the Yimo Emperor, can match up to teacher.”

“Yimo Emperor? Did a Yimo Emperor appear during the ancient world war?” Lin Dong pursed his lips before he asked.

The Devouring Master nodded solemnly. He gently rubbed his hand over his chest before he said, “Back then, I was nearly killed by that Yimo Emperor. Fortunately, teacher showed up and saved me.”

Lin Dong was somewhat in a trance. After all, he simply could not imagine just how shocking it must have been, when those two clashed.

“Ancestor, what happened next?”

Standing beside them, Kun Ling, who had been secretly eavesdropping on their conversation, also involuntarily opened her mouth and softly asked.
