Chapter 246: Nine Magma Rivers (1/2)

A tribulation was forming underground. This was the power of the earth that instilled shock into the deepest part of one’s mind!

Cultivators who wanted to prove their dao wouldn’t only have to endure a test from the heavens but also a test from the grand earth.

Any cultivator in the God Base realm would clearly sense this disturbance underground. Seven dragons made out of magma were piercing through the earth and making their way towards the center.

“Even though Shi Yelai lost to Feng Feiyun, he was able to see the entrance to the grand dao. This is the Earth Tribulation, the start of seizing the Heaven’s Mandate.” Many images emerged in the sky. The kings of the younger generation gathered. Many prodigies in closed cultivation all awakened from the disturbance caused by the Earth Tribulation.

After surpassing the Earth Tribulation, grand achievement God Base could obtain the Heaven’s Mandate dao fruit as well as five hundred years of life while entering the first level of Heaven’s Mandate.

Cultivation was difficult, but enduring these trials was even harder. Many supreme geniuses were ended by the Earth Tribulation and became ashes in the end.

Shi Yelai’s 360 major meridians completely opened. They were absorbing the dao of the earth. His wounds were closing while a crimson crack appeared beneath his feet.

He didn’t hesitate at all and immediately jumped straight down.

“Boom!” The ground closed again!

A huge fluctuation came from below alongside a surging river of magma. This liquid was refining his body via heat.

This great fire escaped and burned all the tall trees within a hundred mile radius, painting a scene of red in the sky with its blazing flames.

Heat waves and smoke were swept by the wind. The vegetations nearby were instantly incinerated into black soot.

The power of the Earth Tribulation exceeded many people’s imagination. It could instantly swallow a grand achievement God Base cultivator and burn them to ashes.

“Shi Yelai is going through it right after a fight, his potential is still being stimulated. If he could use it to refine his body, maybe it will be a blessing in disguise and allow him to reach the Grand Historical Genius level.” The other young kings were very solemn. If Shi Yelai could reach first level Heaven’s Mandate as well as the Grand Historical Genius level, then he would officially become the new number one of the younger generation. No one else could be his match.

Feng Feiyun was quite close to the Earth Tribulation. His eyes narrowed while he actually hoped that Shi Yelai could reach Grand Historical, thus giving him a greater pressure and to act as an impetus for his own drive.

“Boom!” Ten meter thick columns of red magma spewed out, seemingly like a raging dragon. It instantly burned the soil into a circular shape while a thick smoke covered the sky.

An Earth Tribulation was just like the might of the heavens. It could easily kill a grand achievement God Base.

The average person would only bring about one magma river for refinement. Those with high aptitudes would bring about two or three — this was already hard enough. However, Shi Yelai actually invited seven different magma rivers. This was enough to show his great talents.

Even the earth couldn’t tolerate him and wished to swallow him alive; it didn’t want to allow him to go on the path towards the heavenly dao.

“Seven magma rivers to refine the body is quite scary. I heard that when a Historical level genius does it, there would be nine rivers.” After surpassing the Earth Tribulation, Shi Yelai’s ranking on the Hundreds’ List would surely change. All the top ten members would be challenged afterward.

It was truly dangerous to surpass the Earth Tribulation. Only one would be able to succeed out of ten. Regardless of one’s talents, there would always be a risk of dying. There had been Grand Historical Geniuses that died to this before. Their bodies melted with the magma, ending in a pitiful fate.

“I want the Heavens to turn dark for me!” Shi Yelai’s arrogant and unrestrained voice came from under the ground. His momentum crazily rose with a power that swept through the area like a tidal wave.

Was he about to surpass the Earth Tribulation?

This power was truly powerful, several dozen times stronger than before. Moreover, it was rising continuously. It seemed that he was becoming one with the earth while rising above its chains.

“I want the Earth to tremble before me!” The voice underground became even louder like an awakening god. The earth truly seemed to be shaking because of him.

Ordinary people wouldn’t be this powerful even after surpassing the trial, but Shi Yelai was different. He could already kill first level Heaven’s Mandate cultivators in the past, so if he surpassed this trial today, how much higher would his cultivation be?

The other young kings glanced at each other and could see fear. Shi Yelai’s power was growing at a monstrous rate. Several cultivators that were more powerful than him felt that they would lose miserably against him now.

Feng Feiyun squinted and looked at a mountain range a hundred miles away. He felt that something was moving underneath. Two wild beasts seemed to be lunging down there towards this direction. The ground began to crack in many places with magma oozing out.

“Those are… the eighth and ninth magma rivers!” Someone else also saw the scene coming from the other mountain.

Nine magma rivers — this represented a Grand Historical Genius undergoing the Earth Tribulation.
