Chapter 502: Chapter502-The Purple Tribulation

Some Oracle-grade experts whose strength was barely sufficient had already begun to perish under the impact of the chaotic law currents.

The terrifying situation frightened the countless experts gathered in the outer region.

Some immediately turned around and fled.

Others gritted their teeth and rushed deeper into the Sacred Origin Forbidden Land as quickly as possible.

The sudden abnormality within the Sacred Origin Forbidden Land was simply too strange.

Everyone immediately began speculating about what exactly had happened inside.

For countless years, the Sacred Origin Forbidden Land had never experienced any major disturbance.

Yet now, violent tremors had suddenly erupted throughout the entire region.

The shaking was so severe that it had even spread all the way to the outermost edges of the forbidden land.

The chaotic law currents began surging violently.

They became increasingly unstable and ferocious.

Many experts were now forced to consume far more Sacred Power than usual simply to protect themselves.

The numerous experts in the outer region were left in miserable states as they discussed the situation among themselves.

"What exactly is happening?"

"I come to the Sacred Origin Forbidden Land quite often, but I have never encountered anything like this before."

"Could someone have triggered one of the powerful restrictions deep inside?"

If even the outer region was shaking so violently, then the tremors inside the forbidden land were naturally even more obvious.

The interior of the Sacred Origin Forbidden Land was an independent spacetime.

At this moment, spacetime itself began to tremble.

The flow of time shifted.

Space continuously transformed.

The experts who were currently exploring the forbidden land, searching for treasures, or attempting to break through formations and restrictions were all heavily affected.

Some cultivators who had originally been standing in perfectly safe areas were suddenly teleported directly into terrifying killing formations.

The killing formations were incomparably powerful.

Countless laws erupted in an instant and directly tore those experts apart on the spot.

There were also experts who had been only moments away from obtaining valuable treasures.

Yet in the very next instant, the treasures disappeared from where they had been, vanishing without a trace.

One expert immediately cursed furiously.

"Damn it!"

"Who the hell disturbed this place?"

Elsewhere, another expert had already fallen into a desperate situation.

He had been surrounded and attacked by numerous enemies.

Just as one of them was about to land a devastating blow, the cornered expert suddenly vanished from where he stood.

The group pursuing him stared at one another in confusion.

For a moment, none of them knew what to say.

...

Somewhere within the Sacred Origin Forbidden Land, Grand Oracle Shamir slowly descended into a strange space.

Within this region stood seven or eight enormous pillars that seemed to pierce directly into the heavens.

Countless complicated patterns had been engraved across their surfaces.

Numerous laws circulated through them.

Beneath those towering pillars, many experts sat cross-legged while studying them.

Some sat on the ground and stared upward at the pillars.

Others floated in midair, carefully observing the patterns.

There were also groups of three or five experts sitting together and discussing the insights they had obtained from the pillars.

Grand Oracle Shamir nodded slightly.

This is the place.

He had visited this area before.

It was one of the more valuable regions within the forbidden land.

Even a T7 Oracle-grade powerhouse could obtain meaningful gains by comprehending the mysteries here.

At that moment, however, the surrounding space suddenly began trembling.

The patterns engraved across the eight towering pillars seemed to melt.

They began flowing like liquid across the surfaces of the pillars while releasing faint waves of light.

The sudden transformation left the Oracle-grade experts who were comprehending the pillars completely dumbfounded.

Their expressions turned fearful.

"What is happening?"

"Why did the pillars suddenly change like this?"

Nothing unusual had happened here for countless years.

What was going on now?

Could one of the core formations or restrictions have been activated?

Boom!

A deafening explosion rang out.

Grand Oracle Shamir suddenly felt the entire surrounding space begin to rotate.

Spacetime continuously shifted according to some mysterious pattern.

The region had completely lost its original order.

...

At the same time, within the core region of the Sacred Origin Forbidden Land, Daniel had already activated the tribulation formation.

In an instant, the countless chaotic law currents that had previously been rampaging through the area suddenly became orderly.

They resembled a disciplined army formation that had been completely tamed.

Daniel sensed the changes occurring around him.

His expression gradually became serious.

He began quietly sensing the Cosmic Tribulation that was about to descend.

In truth, Cosmic Tribulations had always existed within the void.

Ordinary, weak living beings simply could not perceive them.

Only experts who had reached peak Divine-grade possessed the ability to sense their existence.

Once someone sensed a Cosmic Tribulation, the tribulation would descend upon them instantly, almost like a magnet being pulled toward iron.

Even the cultivator themselves would be unable to stop it.

This was also the one and only time in a cultivator’s life when they could freely choose whether or not to summon a Cosmic Tribulation.

Afterward, every future tribulation would descend on its own.

There would be no fixed pattern.

It might arrive near the end of one’s lifespan.

Or it might descend only a hundred or a thousand years after the previous tribulation.

However, every Cosmic Tribulation would provide some form of warning before its arrival.

The Heavenly Dao was fifty, yet only forty-nine were manifested.

Even a Cosmic Tribulation would leave behind a single chance of survival.

The warning before its arrival was that slim chance of survival.

It gave powerful cultivators enough time to prepare before the Great Dao Tribulation descended.

Various treasures capable of delaying a Cosmic Tribulation were also part of that same chance of survival.

After using such treasures, a cultivator could postpone the arrival of their Cosmic Tribulation for a certain period of time.

However, anyone who relied on such a treasure would inevitably face an even stronger Cosmic Tribulation later.

That was because they had incurred a karmic debt.

And the debt they owed was to the Cosmic Tribulation itself.

Their future tribulations would therefore become incomparably dangerous.

This was one of the reasons why experts such as the Blackwater Ancestor, Grand Oracle Sirius, and the Eternal Emperor had fallen beneath Cosmic Tribulations.

Whether they were Tier-5 Oracle-grade, T7 Oracle-grade, or even an existence like the Eternal Emperor who had reached peak half-step Eternal Grade, none were guaranteed to survive.

Many of them had also used treasures to delay the arrival of their tribulations.

That choice had undoubtedly contributed to their eventual fate.

Cosmic Tribulations could be divided into seven colors according to their power.

They were:

Crimson.

Orange.

Yellow.

Green.

Cyan.

Blue.

Purple.

Most experts who possessed the potential to eventually challenge Eternal Oracle-grade would encounter a Purple Cosmic Tribulation.

Above Purple were the legendary Silver and Golden Tribulations.

Silver Cosmic Tribulations had appeared several times throughout history.

Without exception, every expert who successfully survived a Silver Cosmic Tribulation eventually reached the legendary Supreme Divine-grade during the endless passage of the River of Time.

Those existences stood eternally throughout different regions of the River of Time, gazing down upon the countless living beings below.

As for the Golden Cosmic Tribulation...

It had only ever been recorded in legends.

No one in the Endless Starfield had ever personally witnessed a Cosmic Tribulation of that level.

People had merely heard rumors about its existence and recorded those rumors in ancient texts.

Under ordinary circumstances, even a powerful Oracle-grade expert had less than a one-percent chance of successfully surviving a Blue Cosmic Tribulation.

Most ordinary Oracle-grade experts encountered Cyan Cosmic Tribulations.

Only cultivators who relied on countless treasures and external resources to forcibly raise their strength until they barely reached Oracle-grade would encounter the Crimson, Orange, Yellow, or Green levels.

These four colors represented the weakest grades of Cosmic Tribulation.

After surviving them, a cultivator might successfully break through into low-tier Oracle-grade.

However, they would never be capable of advancing into mid-tier or high-tier Oracle-grade.

The reason was simple.

The weaker the Cosmic Tribulation, the smaller the increase in Strength granted after successfully surviving it.

In other words, the stronger the Cosmic Tribulation, the more terrifying the danger.

But as long as someone managed to survive, the rewards would also become incomparably greater.

Their resulting strength would far surpass that of ordinary cultivators.

Naturally, they would become vastly more powerful than their peers.
