Chapter 1906. Void Tribulant (1/2)
The scorpion soul was composed of dense power of the world. When Wang Lin absorbed it, his origin soul rapidly recovered!
The sixth breath arrived and Wang Lin’s origin soul withered once more. However, with the power from the scorpion soul, it reached a balance. However, this wouldn’t last for too long, and as time passed, it would collapse.
Unless Wang Lin could find even more power of the world to replenish his body!
Most cultivators survived this tribulant by devouring pills and other things to resist this withering by force. If they could survive the first seven breaths, they would only need to endure three more after to complete the ten breaths of this tribulant!
However, the last three breaths were even more terrifying than the previous seven. Even the most rich cultivators would find it difficult to survive. This was because the withering was much faster than the digestion of pills. Before they could even absorb enough form the pills, their origin soul would wither to nothing!
Therefore, the quality of the pill was very important. Even with the best pill, surviving this tribulant was very difficult. A better pill would mostly provide one with a bit more confidence.
This tribulant put the cultivator in a very passive state. They could do nothing but endure. Since ancient times, everyone could only endure it!
Even Grand Empyreans did this. They could only endure this tribulant with large amounts of pills and the fear in their hearts!
Even the two legendary two Grand Empyreans who passed through nine Arcane Tribulants in a row had endured it. Once ten breaths passed, this tribulant would dissipate on its own.
When the seventh breath ruthlessly arrived, the balance in his origin soul collapsed. His origin soul rapidly withered, but his expression didn’t change. During the time he managed to stall, he rapidly thought of a way to break this tribulant!
“If I want to endure it, then I must quickly find where the true soul of the Green Devil Scorpion is suppressed. With the true soul of the Green Devil Scorpion, it should be easy to pass this tribulant!
“But… It will not be easy to absorb the suppressed true soul, and it would require time. I just don’t know how long…”Wang Lin’s eyes lit up.
“Tribulant is also a fortune… I still believe this. Although it is strange, it is only a tribulant after all! To wither my origin soul… I want to see if the withering force of this tribulant is stronger than my faith!”Wang Lin raised his head and his eyes released a powerful light of faith!
With Wang Lin’s wisdom, he saw through the key of passing this tribulant and knew how others had survived it. This method was extremely passive, allowing themselves to be controlled by the tribulant and survive like a dog.
Wang Lin didn’t want this kind of choice!
“I have enough faith, my origin soul also contains my faith. I want to see how this tribulant will destroy me with this faith!”Wang Lin looked at the seal in the sky with determination.
He had faced divine retribution many times in his life and no longer felt any awe toward it. He only felt the determination to rise above the heavens!
When the eighth breath arrived, Wang Lin raised his head and his origin soul rapidly withered until only a trace remained. However, this trace contained his faith, his faith to never give up and his determination to revive Li Muwan!
This sliver of origin soul could not wither in the eighth breath. It continued to exist just like Wang Lin’s determination!
“I believe my origin soul is immortal!
“I believe my existence is inextinguishable!
“I believe my life is in my own hands!”
The ninth breath passed and his body trembled, but his expression didn’t change. The ninth breath carried with it the power to wither his entire origin soul and destroy him. However, that trace of origin soul containing his faith remained after the ninth breath passed!
This was no longer an origin soul but the power of faith. The heavens and earth could erase all origin souls, but they could not destroy one’s faith. If no faith remained, then that person’s life would be at the hands of the heavens and earth. They could complain to the heavens, but in the end, it was their own doing!
Because they had given up their faith!
But Wang Lin hadn’t. His faith was like a raging fire. He looked at the seal in the sky with a gaze that could shock the heavens!
“I believe this tribulant will disappear!
“I believe I can revive Wan Er!
“I believe I can step onto the peak of the world!!”Wang Lin roared at the sky, and his faith was heaven-shattering!
The tenth breath descended with the power to destroy Wang Lin’s faith. It was like an angry wave rushing to destroy his faith!
But in the end, even after the tenth breath passed, Wang Lin’s origin soul containing his faith still existed! Not only did it remain, but it suddenly erupted!
“The might of the heavens and earth can destroy my body, destroy my origin soul, destroy my soul, but it can’t destroy my faith!”Wang Lin roared and stepped into the sky. Compared to the world, he was like an ant, but he had an aura that could change the world erupting from this body. He charged at the seal in the sky, and when he got close, he raised his hand to rip the illusionary seal!!
With this, the illusionary seal took the impact of Wang Lin’s faith and showed signs of becoming solid. Under Wang Lin’s tearing, it suddenly collapsed!
The moment the seal collapsed, Wang Lin’s withered origin soul instantly recovered. In a flash, it reached a peak and became bigger once more!!
The seventh tribulant, the Ten Breath Soul Withering Tribulant, collapsed before Wang Lin!!
The moment the seventh tribulant collapsed, the world changed greatly. As light shined, the second seal appeared in the sky.
The second seal was completely different from the one before. It was even more complex and gave off an endlessly ancient aura. The moment the seal appeared, the eighth tribulant, the Life Soul Tribulant, appeared!
The Ten Breath Life Soul Tribulant, the second of the soul Arcane Tribulants, didn’t damage the origin soul but lowered the lifespan of the origin soul!
This tribulant would turn into the flow of time. A cultivator’s lifespan was not endless, and they would eventually reach the end, just like the soul. The Soul Life Tribulant lasted just a moment, but this moment could be millions of years or only hundreds of years!
When the soul returned, the soul would die! One million years in an instant — this tribulant is much more bizarre than the previous. It was not meant to kill the cultivator, its purpose was to make the cultivator sacrifice lifespan willingly!
This tribulant was closely related to the ninth tribulant. If someone could offer 100,000 years of lifespan, then the ninth tribulant will be extremely simple and one could easily pass it! However, very few people at the Arcane Void stage had more than 100,000 years of lifespan left. Unless one had great fortunes, it was impossible.
But if one didn’t sacrifice the lifespan, then the odds of surviving the ninth tribulant were only 10%!
In the eighth tribulant, the cultivator had the initiative to decide for themselves how much lifespan to sacrifice! Generally, those that dared to enter the eighth tribulant had their own plans. They would calculate how much life span they needed to cultivate and then would painfully sacrifice the rest to increase their chance of passing the ninth tribulant.
Your lifespan wouldn’t increase after entering Void Tribulant, unless you became a Grand Empyrean. Otherwise, however much lifespan you had remaining after the sacrifice at the eighth tribulant was how much lifespan you would have left in the Void Tribulant stage.
Unless you encountered another fortune, it could not be changed.
Wang Lin looked at the second seal in the sky. After he saw the seal, some extra thoughts appeared in his mind. These thoughts allowed Wang Lin to instantly understand the eighth tribulant through some mysterious methods.
After understanding the eighth tribulant, Wang Lin thought about a lot of things. He didn’t know how the Seven-Colored Celestial Sovereign had passed this tribulant, but he likely had another fortunate encounter.
He also understood that what he thought before was wrong. Many cultivators that he saw that were stuck in the Arcane Tribulant stage were mostly stopped at the eighth tribulant.
This tribulant didn’t need to be passed. As long as one sacrificed to it, then they could withdraw. Even sacrificing one year would complete the eighth tribulant!
However, passing the ninth tribulant would be even more difficult!
Wang Lin silently pondered for a long time and then his eyes lit up. He charged at the seal in the sky and closed in. He pressed his hand toward the seal.
