Immortal Sword Master

Chapter 416: Chapter 412: Celestial Tribulation Curse, Birth of the Celestial Pill

BOOM!

Ning Jiang’s aura surged skyward. At that moment, he felt his Primordial Spirit Power increase explosively, his senses sharpening tenfold.

An endless torrent of Spiritual Qi from the world around him rushed madly into his body.

Without even using his Divine Sense, the entire world seemed different to his five senses.

His eyes could see into the depths of the tiniest cracks in the walls, as clearly as if it were broad daylight, no matter how dark.

His ears could distinguish the layers of countless sounds, from the chirping of birds and insects to the very sound of plants growing.

More importantly, his Primordial Spirit had transformed.

His Primordial Spirit was more condensed, as crystalline as a diamond, and it radiated an immortal and indestructible aura.

Even more astonishingly, meridians had appeared within his Primordial Spirit.

The Immortal Realm. This was the final, most crucial, and most difficult Realm to enter within the Primordial Spirit Fourth Tribulation Realm.

Once one stepped into this Realm, their Primordial Spirit could survive indefinitely even if their physical body was destroyed. This was unlike the previous three Realms, where the Primordial Spirit would perish within days, or at most a few months, after the body’s demise.

A Primordial Spirit without a body was like a rootless water plant.

But the Immortal Realm had no such problem. The Primordial Spirit could exist independently of the physical body and leave it at any time.

Moreover, a wounded Primordial Spirit could slowly recover on its own.

It could be said that an expert in the Immortal Realm was extremely difficult to kill. After all, even if their body was destroyed, their Primordial Spirit could still flee. Only a freak like Ning Jiang could kill someone in the Immortal Realm as easily as flipping his hand.

’The Immortal Realm... I’ve finally reached it.’

Ning Jiang let out a long sigh. He slowly clenched his fair fists, feeling the surging, boundless Power within him. He had a feeling that he could now obliterate an Immortal Realm expert with a single punch.

This was no illusion.

After all, with the Heaven-Devouring Demon Skill he cultivated, his combat strength at the same Level was more than ten times that of others.

With his current strength, he could destroy even a dozen Immortal Realm experts working together with a mere wave of his hand.

However, his joy did not last long.

BOOM!

A vast, heavenly might suddenly descended.

The cave he was in instantly turned to dust. In a ten-li radius around him, not a single blade of grass remained.

’The Celestial Tribulation... is it finally here?’

Ning Jiang’s eyes slowly narrowed.

In the Primordial Spirit Fourth Tribulation Realm, every Realm was accompanied by a Celestial Tribulation. Only by successfully passing the tribulation could one be considered to have reached Perfection.

He looked up to see a massive Qi Vortex slowly forming in the sky. The vortex covered an area a thousand zhang in radius, swirling slowly like a vast storm in the clouds.

This was different from his past Celestial Tribulations, which had always involved skies filled with thunderclouds. A Qi Vortex like this had never appeared before.

The Qi Vortex spun faster and faster, growing ever larger. Eventually, it became like a giant tornado, Heaven-Reaching and earth-shattering, as it slammed down toward Ning Jiang.

RUMBLE!

The earth quaked violently.

Ning Jiang was enveloped in the center of the thundercloud tornado. The swirling thunderclouds around him began to flash with an intensely brilliant light.

’Come on! No matter what kind of Celestial Tribulation it is, it will only make me stronger. I will shatter any and all hardships!’

An invincible conviction shone in Ning Jiang’s eyes. How could a mere Celestial Tribulation possibly faze him?

However, he waited for a long time, but the swirling thunderclouds never erupted. Unexpectedly, the Celestial Tribulation was delayed.

"Huh?"

Ning Jiang’s gaze sharpened as he witnessed a stunning scene. The countless thunderclouds began to contract, coalescing toward the center. There, a single rune slowly materialized.

The rune was dazzling and resplendent, radiating an immense light.

This rune resembled mysterious tadpole script. It seemed to be the source of all calamities, the very condensation of misfortune, as if anyone who laid eyes on it would be cursed.

"The Celestial Curse Tribulation!"

Ning Jiang’s pupils shrank violently, a rare look of shock on his face.

SWOOSH.

The next moment, the rune descended like a streak of light. Ning Jiang found himself unable to move, frozen in place by a vast heavenly might, only able to watch as the rune approached.

In a flash, the rune entered the space between his eyebrows.

Then, the massive Qi Vortex vanished, and everything returned to calm.

Everything that had just happened seemed like an illusion, as if nothing had occurred at all.

"To think I would encounter the Celestial Curse Tribulation just after reaching the Immortal Realm." Ning Jiang’s expression was grim.

What was the Celestial Curse Tribulation?

A traditional Celestial Tribulation involved the appearance of thunderclouds and the descent of Thunderbolts. You either passed it and lived, or failed and died.

Ninety-nine percent of the world’s Celestial Tribulations were like this.

However, Celestial Tribulations were not always so monotonous. There were some rather rare ones, such as this "Celestial Curse Tribulation," which was a curse placed upon a Martial Artist by the heavens.

A person afflicted by this curse would inevitably face a life-or-death calamity in the near future.

Not even one in ten thousand who faced such a calamity would survive!

Ning Jiang slowly closed his eyes and sensed his sea of consciousness.

Within his sea of consciousness, a rune floated, suffused with a dense, cursed aura.

He tried to touch the rune with his Divine Sense. The next moment, a shocking vision appeared before his eyes.

In the vision, he saw several figures attacking him.

And then, he saw his own death!

’Is this a premonition from the Celestial Tribulation? A prophecy that I will die?’

Ning Jiang snorted coldly. "Fate is unpredictable and ever-changing. Who can possibly predict the future? My fate is my own to control, not the heavens’! You prophesize my death? Then I will defy the heavens and show you otherwise!"

As a Legendary Venerable, how could Ning Jiang’s will not be unshakably firm?

He was someone who had weathered countless storms and faced innumerable life-or-death crises.

This premonition had no effect on him whatsoever. His spirit was unwavering.

BOOM!

Suddenly, the ground trembled, and the entire Underground Palace Realm began to shake.

A vast Power emerged from the center of the Underground Palace Realm, rapidly spreading throughout the entire space. Under this Power, countless Martial Artists in the Underground Palace Realm couldn’t help but fall to their knees and kowtow in worship.

"The Celestial Pill has appeared!"

Ning Jiang’s gaze instantly shot toward the source.

In his line of sight, a golden orb was slowly rising into the air. The orb released ten thousand golden rays, like a small sun, shining with ultimate brilliance.

The entire Underground Palace Realm was submerged in this golden light.

"Hahaha, the Celestial Pill has finally appeared! It belongs to my Primordial Sect!"

A booming laugh shook the area as Xia Tianyu shot into the sky. Surging Blood Qi roiled around him, making him look like a war chariot flying through the air as he charged toward the Celestial Pill.

"Don’t speak too soon."

Another burst of light erupted. It was an incomparably handsome man. With every step he took, Flames billowed, and a monstrous inferno raged behind him, making him look like a Fire God emerging from the blaze.

Besides them, multiple figures shot out from all directions at the same time.

The great prodigies had all made their move.

The final battle had finally arrived!
