Chapter 324: The Perfected Immortal

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Di Jiu grabbed two immortal crystals. He could feel the aura of a Tribulation Thunder after cultivating for only half a day. This amazed him. He had thought the Immortal World had lost the light from providence. If he wanted to attain the Perfected Immortal Realm, he’d only need to convert his Quintessential Essence into Immortal Essence. However, he hadn’t even started the conversion before he felt a Perfected Immortal Thunder Tribulation coming.

Di Jiu stood up immediately and set up a Defense Array to protect Mo Yuxuan. Then, he left the cave abode as he prepared himself for the Tribulation Transcendence.

Even though he knew that he couldn’t cultivate with the Immortal Spirit Qi here, he still set up a Great Spirit Gathering Array at the venue of the Tribulation Transcendence.

Di Jiu took out a few thousand immortal crystals. The Galaxy Art channeled the Golden Dao Law and, in less than a minute, the rumbling sound of thunder was heard.

Nine black thunder streaks came crashing down.

This was the first time that Di Jiu had seen Thunder Tribulation streaks. Those thunder streaks hadn’t even hit his body, yet Di Jiu could already feel the frightening aura embodied within them.

He had an immortal-like Tempered Body that could even absorb the Thunder Origin. Therefore, he rightfully wasn’t afraid of ordinary Thunder Tribulation.

However, Di Jiu could feel a hint of a shadow of death in the Thunder Tribulation’s aura.

He executed the level-nine Defense Saber Array without hesitation. At the same time, the Heavenly Aqua Saber transformed into a blue beam that shot towards the thunder streak. He didn’t dare be careless about it. Even if he was wrong, he would block this wave of Thunder Tribulation first.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Thick, black thunder streaks crashed against Di Jiu’s level-nine saber array as he heard the sounds of the supreme-grade saber weapons shattering. A gap was subsequently formed in the saber array.

Unexpectedly, the strength of Di Jiu’s level-nine Defense Saber Array couldn’t even resist the first wave of Thunder Tribulation streaks. The Heavenly Aqua Saber that had followed behind managed to tear two thunder streaks into shreds instead.

The thunder streaks crashed against Di Jiu’s body, blasted open several bloody wounds and cracked his skeleton. Di Jiu swept the Thunder Origin and the Immortal Spirit Qi into his body as he attempted to break through the shackles of the Perfected Immortal Realm.

Boom! The already-cracked skeleton broke further as Di Jiu launched this attack.

Di Jiu’s heart sank. This was definitely no ordinary Perfected Immortal Thunder Tribulation. This Thunder Tribulation wanted to kill him.

In other words, if he hadn’t had the level-nine Defense Saber Array, he wouldn’t have been able to block this first wave of Thunder Tribulation streaks.

Normally, his Thunder Tribulation had nine waves, which in turn consisted of nine streaks. If the strength had increased wave after wave, he would most likely have fallen there that day.

After Di Jiu blocked off the first wave of thunder streaks, the thick Thunder Origin Spirit Qi mixed with the immortal crystals that Di Jiu had sprinkled and was subsequently swept away.

It felt as if Di Jiu’s entire body had been moisturized by the endless Spirit Rain. His galaxy meridians expanded to their maximum size as the Immortal Spirit Qi was converted into Essence Energy. Even the Immortal Spirit Qi that had been brought by the Spirit Gathering Array could be absorbed in this Thunder Tribulation space. Thus, Di Jiu’s cultivation level kept improving by leaps and bounds.

His injuries were also healing quickly. Di Jiu knew that he had to attain the Perfected Immortal Realm as soon as possible in order to block this kind of frightening Thunder Tribulation.

Although the Thunder Tribulation was frightening, it also brought huge benefits to him. It hadn’t been possible to cultivate in the Sunset Immortal World before. However, thanks to the Thunder Tribulation streaks, Di Jiu could not only cultivate, but he could also cultivate very fast. Even a portion of his Quintessential Essence had turned into Immortal Essence during the Tribulation Transcendence.

Di Jiu very quickly refilled his saber weapons, which were shattered when the second wave of black thunder streaks came crashing down. This wave was much fiercer than the first wave.

The saber array once again moved against the nine thunder streaks as the Heavenly Aqua Saber and the Gathering Peaks flew out together.

Di Jiu could only use all his techniques as he faced these frightening Thunder Tribulation streaks. He had no other option. He would have to attain the Perfected Immortal Realm first before he could make use of the Thunder Tribulation and the Thunder Origin to cultivate.

The nine thunder streaks crashed down simultaneously as black thunder streaks exploded. Bloody mists could be seen and bone-cracking sounds could be heard amidst the explosion.

If any outsiders had seen this, they would have thought that this was a battle, not a Tribulation Transcendence.

…

The Sky Bamboo River was a very well-known river in the Immortal World, The two sides of the river were lined with verdant Sky Bamboos.

The Sky Bamboo could not only absorb and gather the Spirit Qi from Heaven and Earth, but it was also a material used in blacksmithing. A 10,000-year-old Sky Bamboo could even be used to refine high-grade immortal weapons.

There had once been a top-notch sect on the coast of the Sky Bamboo River called the Sky Bamboo Immortal Sect.

After the sun had set in the Immortal World, the Sky Bamboos had withered and the Sky Bamboo River had run dry, just like every other river, lake, and sea. The Sky Bamboo Immortal Sect had also forsaken the sect encampment like every other sect.

Fortunately, the Sky Bamboo Immortal Sect had read the situation well and left earlier. Thus, it had managed to preserve some of its strength, even though it had been sucked into the chaotic battle too.

Suddenly, a young man in hemp clothes bent down on the dried-up riverbed of the Sky Bamboo River. His eyes were filled with delight as he saw a stream of spring water ooze out of the riverbed.

Even though the stream was tiny, it left him speechless and excited.

He was Qu Tong, an Itinerant Cultivator that had come to the Immortal World from the Cultivation World. He had been here for a few hundred years already. During this time, he had gone to countless places and seen countless miserable situations.

However, this was the first time he had seen water in the Immortal World. He only discovered now, after a few hundred years in the Immortal World, that not only blood existed there. There was actually a real spring in the area.

Qu Tong knelt down on the riverbed as he slowly used the tip of his tongue to lick the spring. The water tasted pure and fresh and had a tinge of sweetness. As he looked up, his eyes were filled with tears.

Would the misery in the Immortal World be over soon? Was the sunset in the Immortal World coming to an end? How was it possible to find spring water in the Immortal World?

Boom! Boom! Boom! A frightening, thunderous sound was heard. Qu Tong screamed as he jumped up when he saw black thunder streaks fall from the sky.

Was someone going through Tribulation Transcendence? Was there even black Thunder Tribulation?

Qu Tong immediately confirmed that his eyes weren’t fooling him. Someone was indeed experiencing Tribulation Transcendence. He dashed over with a turn of his body.

He knew that there could not be Thunder Tribulation in the Sunset Immortal World. As long as the cultivators who had come to the Immortal World from the Cultivation World could turn their Quintessential Essence into Immortal Essence, they could attain the Perfected Immortal Realm. When he had been performing the conversion to Immortal Essence, no Thunder Tribulation had been caused.

He considered himself lucky, for he had picked up a ring with a broken restriction in the Immortal World. There were even some immortal crystals in the ring. He had used a billion Spirit Stones to enter the Three-Element Immortal City and convert his Quintessential Essence there.

However, there were many ugly things happening in the Immortal City. He had left because he couldn’t bear to witness them day in day out and had been wandering alone to this day.

The place where Di Jiu had experienced the Tribulation Transcendence wasn’t far from the Sky Bamboo River. It only took Qu Tong an hour to arrive at its perimeter.

When he saw the frightening, thick thunder streaks fall, he was seized by terror. He was sure that he wouldn’t even resist three streaks if he underwent such a Thunder Tribulation, let alone continuous nine-by-nine streaks. The City Lord of the Three-Element Immortal City had considered himself a true Golden Immortal, but even he might have to admit defeat if he faced such a Thunder Tribulation.

Was this the Perfected Immortal Thunder Tribulation? If it was, then the cultivator amid this Tribulation Transcendence would be exceptionally strong.

Di Jiu, who had sensed Qu Tong’s arrival, became anxious. He had injuries all over his body now and a large portion of his skeleton was also broken. Moreover, he had only transcended the five wave of Thunder Tribulation.

Despite the Thunder Tribulation streaks, his absorption rate of the Immortal Spirit Qi was still very fast. However, he was still unable to break the shackles of the Perfected Immortal Realm.

He would be in danger if he still hadn’t managed to break the shackles by the time the Thunder Tribulation ended.

He was so seriously injured that he could be killed easily by any Domain Realm cultivator.

When Di Jiu realized what the consequences would be if he was unable to complete the Tribulation Transcendence, he stopped trying to block the sixth wave of Thunder Tribulation with his Heavenly Aqua Saber and allowed the thunder streaks to strike his body. Then, he whirled in the Immortal Spirit Qi and Thunder Origin like crazy as he continued trying to break the shackles of the Perfected Immortal Realm.

Boom! Bloody mists spurted from Di Jiu’s body yet again. His body became lighter as the boundless Immortal Spirit Qi found a drainage outlet. His cultivation level soared quickly as his Spiritual Sea cracked and expanded continuously. His surroundings became clearer and clearer.

He had finally attained the Perfected Immortal Realm! Di Jiu basked in the greatness of his Essence Energy. At the same time, he sensed two streaks of a faint golden pattern in his Spiritual Sea.

This was not a level-twelve Spiritual Force. It was a level-two Immortal Force.

The seventh wave of Thunder Tribulation streaks came but could no longer overcome Di Jiu. They were mostly supposed to provide Thunder Origin for Di Jiu’s cultivation. His injuries were also healing as quickly as his cultivation level was increasing. Thus, he decided to put away the level-nine Defense Saber Array so that he could absorb the Thunder Origin and Immortal Spirit Qi to the fullest.

By the time the seventh wave ended, Di Jiu had already attained the second-stage Perfected Immortal Realm.

Qu Tong, who had been watching the Thunder Tribulation from afar, felt chills running down his back as he quickly backed off.

He thought that the cultivator going through Tribulation Transcendence was so powerful that he could kill him very easily. He didn’t dare stay in the Sunset Immortal World, where innumerable murders took place.

This was a place where reason was not allowed. He would surely die if he stayed there.

Then, the eighth and ninth waves of Thunder Tribulation came. Although the black Thunder Tribulation streaks were frightening, the help they provided for Di Jiu’s cultivation was unparalleled.

By the time the ninth wave of Thunder Tribulation ended, Di Jiu’s cultivation level had already dashed up to the fourth-stage Perfected Immortal Realm.

When the Thunder Tribulation ended, Di Jiu had almost fully recovered from his injuries. His Spiritual Force swept out into the distance. The cultivator who had been observing the Thunder Tribulation had left. However, he didn’t care.

Although he had climbed up to the fourth-stage Perfected Immortal Realm, his Quintessential Essence hadn’t been entirely converted. He would still need some time to convert it into Immortal Essence.
