Under the heavenly tribulation, Mo Fei Fan gazed at the thunder clouds and his long hair flew backward.
Under his feet, the ground, under the pressure of the heavenly tribulation, cracked in layers around Mo Fei Fan like a spider web, with the center being about half a meter lower than the surrounding area. Standing in the center, Mo Fei Fan felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on him.
At that moment, he finally realized why ancient texts recorded that when facing heavenly tribulation, martial arts, dodging, were all futile, except for withstanding it, there was no other way. When the heavenly tribulation arrived, Mo Fei Fan felt as if the sky was falling, as if he was the only one left in the entire world, alone supporting this piece of heaven and earth.
Boom!!
After a long period of brewing, the sky finally released a purple lightning bolt!
Transcending the mortal tribulation was the first step into becoming a Great Immortal. The heavenly tribulation triggered by a cultivator after reaching the pinnacle of Qi Refining was precisely this purple sky tribulation. Although there was only one, its power was extremely huge. Under the heavenly might, ordinary cultivators would mostly end up dead.
However, once this transcendent tribulation was crossed, they would immediately achieve the path of a Great Immortal, becoming someone superior to ordinary people!
The purple lightning bolt was incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, it struck Mo Fei Fan's body with a thunderous roar.
Gravel sprang up and dust flew.
"Is this the power of heavenly might..."
"The eldest senior is dead, definitely dead! The heavenly tribulation, it seems there is no hope for me to pass through it."
The disciples from a distance felt the leaking power of the heavenly tribulation, exclaiming in shock. There were even some who, at this moment, directly developed a fear of the heavenly tribulation due to their weak minds. As a result, these disciples basically had no hope of becoming a loose immortal in their lifetime.
Mo Feifan naturally did not know these things. At this moment, he only felt that his whole body was shrouded in purple thunder, making his body feel stiff, unable to move, and even the elemental force within his body also ceased to operate.
Countless purple thunders turned into tiny thunder needles, entering his body through the pores. Wherever the purple thunder passed, the meridians were cut off and the elemental force dissipated.
"Puff..." Mo Feifan suddenly spewed out a mouthful of blood.
The tribulation thunder was not the kind of domineering destructive thunder, but a kind of feminine divine thunder. The divine thunder would travel along the pores of the tribulation-crossing cultivator. If one could not withstand the power of thunder, their meridians would break and the elemental force would dissipate in the heavens and earth. Conversely, if one persisted, the purple thunder would cleanse the impurities hidden in the human body, thus laying a solid foundation for achieving the status of a loose immortal.
"I will die? How is that possible!" Mo Feifan roared in his heart.
The powerful determination made his originally stagnant thoughts start to work. At this moment, the power of the purple thunder seemed to be inexhaustibly drawn towards the center of Mo Feifan's eyebrows.
"Huh? Absorbing immortal essence... this kid's soul has actually gone through the baptism of the tribulation." In the valley, a trace of astonishment flashed in Lu Renxing's eyes.
The duration of the heavenly tribulation was not very long. The path of loose immortality was like a staircase, the higher one climbed, the greater the difficulty. When achieving the status of a loose immortal, there was only one tribulation thunder, which was the kind of purple heavenly thunder. After that, there was another kind of extremely yang and strong destructive thunder, the power of which was more than ten times that of the purple heavenly thunder. When it came to the last heavenly tribulation of the loose immortal, it was said that nine tribulation thunders would descend from the sky. This kind of heavenly tribulation was called the nine-nine tribulation, and the power of the tribulation thunder increased with each occurrence, with the final heavenly tribulation reaching the extent of world destruction.
Amidst the heavenly tribulation, Mo Feifan's soul became more and more condensed.
Suddenly, a graceful and agile aura diffused from his soul.
"I finally become an immortal!"
At the moment when the purple thunder dissipated, Mo Feifan's figure appeared again in front of everyone.
"It's the eldest senior!"
"He actually passed through that terrifying heavenly tribulation..."
The disciples were in an uproar.
In the valley, Lu Renxing looked at the central Mo Feifan, shook his head with some regret, and said, "What a pity..."
Naturally, Mo Feifan could not feel these things. At this moment, he was immersed in the wonderful feeling after achieving the status of an immortal. Suddenly, a spark of enlightenment flashed in his mind, as if he remembered something, and he opened his eyes.
"Absorbing the life force of the flesh is the true mark of a loose immortal. Otherwise, one can only be considered a ghost immortal!"
Thinking of this, Mo Feifan swept his gaze and quickly discovered that his flesh had completely turned into charcoal. Not to mention absorbing the life force, just a light touch would likely turn his flesh into ash.
"How... could this be!?" Mo Feifan exclaimed in astonishment.
Suddenly, a cold and gloomy black aura spread from the ground, and a strange pattern, with Mo Feifan as the center, rotated and expanded. This feeling was as if Mo Feifan had summoned a gate to the underworld. Looking from the sky, the pattern under Mo Feifan's feet formed a circle. On the left side of the circle was a giant flower, and on the right side was a dark bridge. In the center, a huge ancient seal script read 'Hades.'
"The Higan flower and the Naihe bridge! This is the gate to the underworld..."
The birth of the ghost immortal, guided by the underworld route.
A passage connecting the two realms, linking yin and yang!
An ancient voice reverberated in the heavens and the earth.
A mysterious light soared into the sky, forming a deep passage with the circular pattern on the ground as its foundation.
Standing on the passage, Mo Feifan felt the pulling force under his feet. He turned around and looked at a mountain peak outside the valley with a desolate expression.
That was the mountain peak where Fang Yuyao lived.
"Junior Sister, take care..."
The darkness twisted, and Mo Feifan, along with the black pattern under his feet, disappeared at the same time, returning the heaven and earth to their peaceful state, as if everything before was just a dream.
The disciples snapped back to reality, looking at the place where Mo Feifan had crossed the tribulation.
"Where did the eldest senior go?"
"What was that just now? Such a strange aura."
"It seems the eldest senior still failed to cross the tribulation. The heavenly tribulation is truly a matter of life and death..."
A few disciples noticed the burnt flesh of Mo Feifan under the heavenly tribulation...
The news of Mo Feifan's failed tribulation quickly spread to the surrounding sects and factions, and many who heard it were filled with emotions.
Time passed day by day.
After half a year.
The stone mountain was overgrown with luxuriant grass. The place where Ding Yan was in seclusion was also tangled with weeds, which even covered the cave he had cleared.
A gust of cold wind passed by.
Boom!!
The broken stones blocking the cave entrance were all shaken away.
A figure walked out slowly from the middle.
This person is Ding Yan, who has been in seclusion for half a year!
"Only half a year has passed?" Ding Yan looked up and closed his eyes for a moment to calculate.
Opening his eyes, Ding Yan extended his right hand, and a trace of vitality flowed through his meridians, gathering in the palm to form a green-colored talisman.
