Chapter 995: Chapter 995

As time passed, one True Buddha after another transformed into light and completely dissipated.

Without a physical body as an anchor, only the spirit persists, seemingly eternal yet very fragile.

When their spiritual power is exhausted, they will scatter, with no chance of another life.

The power of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Return to the Sect Array was continually weakening, now only one hundred and eighty True Buddhas remain.

"Hahaha, you can’t trap me for long," the Demon Lord laughed arrogantly, his strength seemed inexhaustible.

The Power of Four Calamities continuously transformed and cycled, making his Divine Power far surpass that of an upper-level demigod.

He himself is the God of Disaster, able to absorb the Power of Faith from the fear of disasters across the Three Thousand Worlds.

Why other demigods grow weaker under suppression, yet he advances further, follows this logic also.

In the Great Destruction Era, disasters were everywhere, suffering was ubiquitous, he didn’t need to deliberately spread it, nor was he short of incense.

The faces of the Great Powers were heavy, they could only try their best to restrain the Demon Lord, preventing him from escaping the Buddha Country.

Lu Chenzhou was at a critical moment of tribulation, letting the Demon Lord leave would have unimaginable consequences.

What they didn’t know, was that although the Demon Lord appeared complacent, he was actually extremely anxious inside.

He could perceive that someone was undergoing tribulation, without a doubt it was Lu Chenzhou.

When Lu Chenzhou succeeds, he may be able to defeat Lu Chenzhou, but with only a slight advantage, Tianxia’s numbers are enough to make up for it.

Before the True God descends, he is alone, without external support, in a very dangerous position.

"I must first break the Ten Thousand Buddhas Return to the Sect Array." The Demon Lord burned his Divine Power, aiming his axe light at the array, hacking continuously.

"Don’t let him break the array, he wants to disrupt Lu Chenzhou’s tribulation," Blue Mountain said.

"I’ll handle it." The Dragon King came before the Demon Lord, engaging in close combat, which was his forte.

The collisions of fists meeting flesh sparked fierce sparks.

A group of Great Powers unleashed their Divine Skills on the Demon Lord, no one held back, all were giving their utmost effort.

"Lu Chenzhou is about to undergo tribulation, the stupid Demon Lord is actually trapped in the Blue Mountain Buddha Country," Mother Worry-Free looked worried.

"This day has finally come." The Blood God spoke with a complicated tone, his heart filled with indescribable anxiety and worry.

"When will the Holy Lord finally achieve Divine Enthronement?" Lord Toad was also anxious, gazing at the Divine Kingdom above Gao Tian, which was closest to the Dao Palace.

"Within ten years, the Holy Lord should be able to seal godhood... It’s about as we expected, but hoping to stop Lu Chenzhou from breaking through nine is impossible, we can only hope that after Lu Chenzhou becomes a Great Power, he won’t be too monstrous. The battle with the Demon Lord is crucial, if Lu Chenzhou can kill the Demon Lord, it would indicate that even at his initial entry as a Great Power, he possesses top-level demigod strength, perhaps not inferior to a weak god, and the Holy Lord would have a hard time killing him. If he can’t, then within ten years, he shouldn’t grow to the extent of rivalling a True God," the Witch said.

"If the Holy Lord can’t kill Lu Chenzhou, then letting Him achieve Divine Enthronement is not as good as letting me do it," Lord Toad said.

The Witch glanced at Him and said:

"The Holy Lord is paving the way, if He can’t kill Lu Chenzhou, Lu Chenzhou also can’t kill Him, my mercy has been exhausted by these beings of the Great Universe, I want the Holy Lord to wash the Three Thousand Worlds in blood, restart the universe’s life and death cycle, with only one Lu Chenzhou left, it won’t matter."

"But if that’s the case, how can we absorb faith?" Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on Nov3lFɪre.ɴet

Although the gods of the stars invaded, they wouldn’t generally eradicate all life.

"I will reshape chaos, recreate order, and create new life," the Witch said.

His Realm was very high, far beyond the imagination of these fellows.

His ambition was not just the sealing of godhood.

He intended to replace the Great Cosmic Will, becoming the absolute will of a universe.

In this way, no matter how the Great Universe evolves and changes, as long as the Great Universe itself remains undying, He will not perish.

Only thus can one escape the River of Time and transcend everything, achieving supreme supremacy!

But the birth of this unexpected guest, Lu Chenzhou, was disrupting His plan.

He had reason to suspect that it was the Great Cosmic Will at work.

Therefore, He planned to initiate the Great Extinction Plan, plunging the universe into apocalypse, for Him to restart it.

Accompanied by the wailing of the Dark Divine Dragon, three long spears spiraling and shredding it into pieces.

Lu Chenzhou exhaled softly, saying: "This thirty-sixth tribulation actually took seven days, it takes more time the further back it goes."

Now as the Demon Lord rampages in the Buddha Country, one True Buddha after another perishes, his heart heavy.

These people have helped him and Tianxia so much, now they can’t wait for another life, they vanish forever.

The thirty-seventh tribulation descended, an apocalyptic giant snake full of Great Destruction aura emerged, coiling as it appeared.

"Another Illusion Spirit Tribulation... it will only get harder from now on." Lu Chenzhou gritted his teeth, brandishing his spear to charge.

"If the subsequent ones are all Illusion Spirit Tribulations, doesn’t that mean the Alliance Hierarch has to defeat thirty-six True Spirit level existences?" The Yaochi Immortal frowned tightly.

"Indeed, an ordinary Great Power undergoing tribulation experiences only one Illusion Spirit Tribulation, powerful ones encounter two or three, like the Four Emperors, they reportedly faced a dozen, that’s already the top level of ancient times... But the Dragon King’s tribulation had twenty-seven, Lu Chenzhou’s tribulation has thirty-six, for us Martial Arts practitioners, advancement is fast in the early stages, but in the late stages, the difficulty skyrockets, this could be the Great Universe’s inherent balance," the Eternal Immortal sighed.

One can only say the Dragon King and Lu Chenzhou are freaks.

If it were another ordinary Third Step Martial Artist, the success rate of tribulation might not even be as good as that of an Ancient Qi Refiner.

Martial Arts, so perilous, while it demands fierce and unfailing progress, it also bears a price.

In the blink of an eye, a year had passed.

As expected, just as the Eternal Immortal and they speculated.

Lu Chenzhou’s subsequent great tribulations were all Illusion Spirit Tribulations, each more powerful than the last.

Some of the powerful illusion spirits often required battles lasting a month.

This was a multifaceted test of physical strength, endurance, and will.

Because Lu Chenzhou had no time to rest, and these illusion spirits were much stronger than the Gatekeepers in the early stage of the Star-Picking Tower.

They were pure manifestations of the Dao, their every move empowered by the Power of Dao, supported by the energies of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Some were worried, while others rejoiced secretly.

In the infinite heights, the Holy Lord could already see the Dao Palace above.

"Good, good, let the Heavenly Tribulation come even more fiercely, best if it directly kills Lu Chenzhou, so I don’t have to take action."

Honestly speaking, although a True God, the Holy Lord was also quite apprehensive of Lu Chenzhou.

This boy repeatedly broke conventional understanding, to say he wasn’t worried at all would be a lie.

Lu Chenzhou had successfully passed seventy-one tribulations, defeating more than thirty Great Dao illusion spirits in succession.

He was driven by a relentless spirit, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Fortunately, although the illusion spirits were troublesome, their attack power was not remarkably strong, they couldn’t even force him to use his Immortal Body.

The Fourth Level of Physical Body was not only a powerful immortal regeneration ability, but also extremely tough, comparable to a Supreme Treasure.

Crashing sounds echoed! The final seventy-second tribulation arrived late, this time the illusion spirit took a humanoid form.

Its appearance was unclear, its physique similar to Lu Chenzhou’s, and its aura in every move was also quite alike.

Lu Chenzhou’s heart tightened: "What kind of illusion spirit is this? Imitating me?"

Sure enough, a phantom long spear appeared in the palm of the humanoid illusion spirit, chaotic Qi Flow swirling around, with World Dao Essence diffusing.

It struck with the spear, while a star like a Great World rolled over with unstoppable momentum.

"It’s actually a World Dao illusion spirit." Lu Chenzhou lifted his spear to kill.

The illusion spirit seemed to have a premonition, having already anticipated his move, its phantom big spear swept across, sending Lu Chenzhou flying.

Others were similarly shocked.

The Priest shook his head, saying: "World Dao illusion spirit, unheard of. Who exactly controls the great tribulations of us Cultivators? If it’s the Great Cosmic Will, why can’t it be lenient, allowing the Alliance Hierarch to successfully pass the tribulation and protect this universe."

"It’s too difficult, in comparison, other Great Powers’ tribulations are mere child’s play."

Sound of metal clashing, the technique of the World Dao illusion spirit far surpassed the previous ones.

It seemed to possess an exceptionally strong learning ability, merely after three days of battle with Lu Chenzhou, it had preliminarily grasped similar Divine Lotus Divine Power.

When it stabbed with the spear, various branches of the Dao emerged simultaneously, terrifyingly powerful.

It was the first time Lu Chenzhou had encountered such a fearsome opponent, more troublesome than an upper-ranked Demigod.

"Conclude the battle quickly, if this drags on, the Buddha Country won’t hold." Lu Chenzhou once again employed Nine Steps to Heaven, his momentum rising steadily.

However, the World Dao illusion spirit mimicked impeccably, its momentum also surged, fully blocking Lu Chenzhou’s offensive.

"Imitating, huh?" Lu Chenzhou’s heart was stern, the Heavenly Tribulation represented the Heavenly Dao, or perhaps the Great Cosmic Will.

The Heavenly Dao being high above, capable of copying his abilities, was only natural.

Next, he unleashed all the divine skills he comprehended and acquired, bombarding the illusion spirit intensely.

Initially, the illusion spirit was beaten back repeatedly, yet it stubbornly held on, retreating into the tribulation cloud whenever it was near death.

When it re-emerged, its strength had increased considerably.

Lu Chenzhou finally realized how infuriating he appeared in others’ eyes.

It was truly annoying, unkillable, growing stronger the more it was beaten.

"I refuse to believe you can mimic everything of mine!"

The Martial Arts Tree in his mind swayed, merging with the image of the World Tree in his Spiritual World, becoming solid.

Lu Chenzhou had stepped into the Ninth Rank Dao for some time, after reaching billions of zhang, the Martial Arts Tree was undergoing transformation.

During the long tribulation, it had already completed its transformation.

[Transmitting Dao across the Great Thousand, All Laws Unite]

[Harnessing the power of all those who have heard the Dao from the Three Thousand Worlds, converging it on oneself, capable of delivering a strike surpassing the limit briefly.]

[Note: Using All Laws Unite consumes ten thousand years of lifespan.]

Cloak flapping, behind Lu Chenzhou, the previously illusory World Tree began to manifest genuinely.

Each leaf represented a world.

Countless points of light twinkled across these worlds, all who once listened to Lu Chenzhou’s teachings.

Using the World Dao as a bridge, the Martial Arts Tree stood above the great thousand worlds, quietly drawing from the strength of Lu Chenzhou’s countless students.

A thousand spells, ten thousand divine skills, many Daos Lu Chenzhou hadn’t even comprehended silently emerged around him.

His appearance, at some point, transformed from a young man to a dignified elder in a white robe, myriad powers of the Dao circulating behind him.

"Keep on learning then." Lu Chenzhou refused to believe that the new skills of the Martial Arts Tree, which had just been born, could be learned by the illusion spirit.

The illusion spirit stood in place, its eyes confused.

At some point, a ruler appeared in Lu Chenzhou’s hand, descending from the sky, seemingly slicing through the starry sky.

The illusion spirit dissipated into smoke, along with the tribulation clouds in the deep space being split by the ruler.
