Chapter 1187: Tribulation of the Chaos Realm (1/2)
Though the appearance of the Hadal Hell had to do with the Netherdark Hell, the ultimate reason why the nine worlds had become part of hell was due to hellfire.
The very same Hadal Flame that Lu Yun controlled.
Based on the information in Violetgrave, the Netherdark Hell was the first of the five hells to appear. Since it buried civilizations and the collective wisdom of the living, it was ranked first among the five.
……
As Lu Yun wielded Violetgrave, a haze of violet radiance dyed his long black hair into crystalline purple. The Tome of Life and Death absorbed the transparent Netherdark Flame and permitted it to take root within itself.
The next time Lu Yun entered the fourth realm, what would infuse him wouldn’t be just the Hadal Flame, but the combination of the Netherdark and Hadal Flames. Who knew how much additional strength that would give him, if any?
For the moment, he discovered that his cultivation level was rising explosively after the book devoured the Netherdark Flame. He was shooting up from peak empyrean realm to chaos realm!
Breakthrough!
He officially set foot in the chaos realm, an achievement that would’ve taken an interminably long amount of time without the Netherdark Flame.
What he lacked wasn’t cultivation levels, since the dao fruit of his past self raised his true cultivation realm beyond the chaos. He lacked a properly high enough immortal force inside his body. Ordinary pristine chaos currents couldn’t support his level of cultivation at all.
Rumble—
An enormous disturbance sounded above his head as a bank of tribulation clouds even darker than the pure black chaos swiftly gathered from all directions. They coalesced over Lu Yun’s head, summoning all chaos tribulation electricity within a hundred million kilometers. The tendrils of electricity buzzing throughout the chaos combined as bolts of lightning that were hundreds of kilometers across, circling within the tribulation clouds and dancing with fury.
“The tribulation for ascending to the chaos realm has absorbed the power of the chaos tribulation!” Qiu Luoyu gibbered with fear. Though he’d received the legacy of the Netherdark Hell and personal tutelage from Lu Qing’s replica—placing him on par with the battle strength of a sacred monarch—he’d still be annihilated by this kind of thunder and lightning!
This wasn’t the tribulation that a mortal being should face when breaking through to the chaos realm, but one of a sovereign ascending to the Hongmeng!
“Are you still not leaving?” Lu Yun suddenly glared at Qiu Luoyu. “Are you trying to increase this tribulation by another hundred times?”
Since Qiu Luoyu rivaled the six monarchs, that meant he was peak sovereign realm. Though his cultivation level had yet to ascend beyond the chaos, him being within range of the tribulation would absolutely enhance its potency. He might even attract a Hongmeng-level tribulation!
Blinking, Qiu Luoyu suddenly realized what Lu Yun meant and quickly retreated to Inception Palace.
……
“What did you just call the Inception prince?” A curious Nirvana princess and Chi Wuxia approached Qiu Luoyu.
Chi Wuxia had completed his breakthrough and was now a sovereign. Having comprehended the great dao of nirvana, his battle strength was the same as his mother’s. They were both peak sovereign realm, second to only the sacred monarchs.
An awkward expression flitted over the Nirvana princess’ face. As a sovereign, Qiu Luoyu was uncommonly strong. In her eyes, he was on the same level as her. However, she’d just watched him kneel down in front of Lu Yun and kowtow his respects!
One had to know that even palace disciples only knelt down, at most, to their monarchs, they didn’t have to kowtow. Qiu Luoyu, on the other hand, had looked as humble as a child when facing Lu Yun.
Thus, the Nirvana princess was quite curious.
