Gou Zai Fei Men made up myths

Faced with this deadly combined attack, powerful enough to instantly kill an ordinary late-stage Golden Core cultivator, Shen Mo's expression remained terrifyingly calm. He even closed his eyes.

It wasn't giving up, but rather, under the immense pressure of being on the brink of life and death, amidst the unprecedentedly strong resonance between the Myriad Laws Source Pearl in his sea of ​​consciousness and the Azure Cloud Jade Slip in his bosom, and under the frenzied impact on his Nascent Soul bottleneck, which had already loosened due to "completing cause and effect and inheriting the legacy" and was now completely triggered by the desperate situation, his mind entered a profound and mysterious state.

He "saw" it.

It's not about using your eyes, but your "heart," your "Tao," and that strange resonance you feel with Patriarch Qingyunzi and with this world.

He saw the trajectory of the three gray sword lights, the chilling killing intent and pure sword essence contained within them, and even more so, the subtle, discordant "stagnation" and "flaws" between them and this world polluted and eroded by the blood sacrifice array and the power of the Nine Netherworlds.

While the swords of the Heavenly Sword Sect are indeed sharp and pure, their sword intent is ultimately incompatible with this filthy and evil land.

He also "saw" within his own body the ocean of spiritual energy and the origin of his soul, which was completely boiling, undergoing a qualitative change, and about to break through some invisible boundary due to the operation of the general outline of the "Source Sea Chapter", the activation of the Myriad Laws Source Pearl, and the driving force of enormous karmic causes.

Within the dantian, the perfect golden core, shimmering with a pale golden chaotic light, was covered with fine, spiderweb-like, dazzling Dao patterns. It was trembling and expanding wildly, as if something was about to break out of its shell!

He also "saw" something terrifying in the vast sky above, rapidly gathering and surging because of his sudden change in aura and the impending leap in his life essence! It was the response of the laws of heaven and earth, the test of the Great Dao for those who defy the heavens, and also... the opportunity for destruction and rebirth!

"The time... has come."

Shen Mo's heart was clear and pure. All his anxiety, anger, and murderous intent were replaced by an almost ruthless decisiveness at this moment.

He opened his eyes.

In his eyes, chaos was just beginning to unfold, stars were born and died, and cause and effect flowed. There was no longer any emotion belonging to "Shen Mo" personally, only the pursuit of "Dao", the confrontation with "calamity", and the fulfillment of "duty".

Faced with the three gray, deadly sword lights that were already three feet in front of him and about to pierce him in the next instant, Shen Mo made a move that left the three hidden swordsmen and even the Yin Yan elder under the altar in the distance astonished and puzzled.

He opened his arms.

It's not defense, not counterattack, but a posture that seems to embrace the world and accept everything.

At the same time, he released the last and most thorough suppression of his own aura!

"boom--!!!"

An indescribable terrifying aura erupted, like a primordial beast awakening from its slumber, or a volcano that had been suppressed for millions of years suddenly bursting forth, centered on Shen Mo!

That was not a simple spiritual pressure, but a completely new power after a qualitative change, a mixture of pure and powerful spiritual energy, extremely refined divine soul power, profound and mysterious Daoist principles, and a certain heavy and vast karmic force—the power of a half-step Nascent Soul!

No, to be more precise, it was a true prelude to a breakthrough that triggered the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation!

A powerful column of pale gold energy, with a chaotic halo and scattered starlight flowing inside, rose from Shen Motian's head and instantly pierced through the thick blood evil and dark clouds above the Burial Soul Valley, shooting straight into the heavy, lead-gray clouds that had gathered at some unknown time and were so low they were suffocating!

Wherever the column of energy passed, the incomparably sharp and deadly sword light of the three hidden swords melted and dissipated silently, like ice and snow under the scorching sun!

Even the "annihilation" sword intent contained within the sword light was shattered by the overwhelming, chaotic, and seemingly all-encompassing Daoist energy pillar!

"puff--!"

The three hidden swordsmen were struck as if by a heavy blow. They groaned simultaneously, their bodies trembling violently as they staggered backward. The longswords in their hands groaned under the strain, and the spiritual light on their blades dimmed instantly. Their gazes toward Shen Mo were filled with disbelief, horror, and terror.

"This...this is...the Nascent Soul Formation phenomenon?! He's about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage here?!" The sinister leader exclaimed in shock, his voice distorted with extreme astonishment.

He never imagined that Shen Mo would dare to, and be able to, trigger the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation in such a desperate situation, surrounded by powerful enemies and fraught with danger! This was simply the act of a madman! No, it was even more terrifying than a madman!

The Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation is extremely dangerous. The slightest carelessness will result in death, the dissipation of one's cultivation, and the scattering of one's soul!

Ordinary cultivators who break through to a higher realm invariably seek out blessed lands and grottoes, set up numerous arrays, invite close friends for protection, and make thorough preparations. Who would dare to break through on the battlefield, right under the enemy's nose?!

However, what followed was an even more terrifying scene that made all the cultivators inside and outside the Burial Soul Valley, including the two sides fighting fiercely at the valley entrance, Fairy Ling Shuang and Leng Yue who were fighting bitterly on the west side, and even the main force of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Lieyang Sect and the Tianjian Sect who were lurking in the distance, feel their souls tremble and their scalps tingle!

"Rumble rumble rumble—!!!"

As if responding to Shen Mo's soaring breakthrough energy column, countless blindingly bright white lightning bolts suddenly lit up in the lead-gray, heavy tribulation clouds above the Burial Soul Valley, which seemed to be about to crush the earth!

As if responding to Shen Mo's soaring breakthrough energy column, countless blindingly bright white lightning bolts suddenly lit up in the lead-gray, heavy tribulation clouds above the Burial Soul Valley, which seemed to be about to crush the earth!

Lightning bolts danced wildly like dragons and snakes, darting and converging wildly in the clouds, emitting deafening, terrifying thunder that seemed to tear the sky apart!

A vast, majestic, inviolable, and terrifying heavenly might, filled with the aura of destruction and rebirth, descended like an invisible dome collapsing, enveloping the entire Burial Soul Valley and even spreading to a wider area!

Under this majestic heavenly might, the bloodthirsty evil energy that surged into the valley seemed to have met its nemesis, and was instantly suppressed and dissipated by more than half!

The churning of the nine blood pools came to a halt, and the pulsation of the three dark red banners atop the altar also abruptly stopped, their light dimming. The three elders, Blood Soul, Bone Fiend, and Nightmare, trembled simultaneously, their faces showing solemnity and surprise for the first time.

Their connection with the altar and with that mysterious "gateway" became obscure and unstable under the sudden arrival of the power of heaven and earth!

At the valley entrance, the Xuan Yin Sect cultivators, who were fiercely fighting with Shi Tie and others, suddenly froze, staring in horror at the sky.

Seizing the opportunity, Shi Tie cleaved the mid-stage Golden Core leader in front of him with a single axe stroke. He then looked up at the sky, his large, bronze eyes initially filled with shock, before bursting with wild joy: "Sect Leader! The Sect Leader is about to break through! Damn it, even the heavens are helping! Brothers, give it your all! Don't let the Sect Leader down!"

In the western night sky, Fairy Ling Shuang and Elder Leng Yue, who were engaged in a fierce battle with Jian Wu Hui, the Enforcement Hall of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and the remnants of the Xuan Yin Sect, were also intimidated by this sudden and terrifying heavenly might.

Fairy Ling Shuang's beautiful eyes gazed towards the pale golden pillar of energy within the valley. A look of disbelief and shock crossed her icy face, quickly replaced by resolute determination: "Alliance Leader Shen... has actually triggered a heavenly tribulation at this moment! Leng Yue, tighten the formation and defend with all your might! Under the heavenly tribulation, both enemy and ally are in danger; this is our chance to catch our breath!"

Jian Wuhui's face was grim. He stared intently at the direction of the valley, then glanced at the increasingly thick and terrifying tribulation clouds overhead, their lightning growing denser and more terrifying. His eyes were filled with a mixture of killing intent and fear, which finally turned into a low, unwilling roar: "Retreat! Get out of the tribulation area first! Quickly!"

Although he desperately wanted to kill Ling Shuang and Leng Yue immediately, he was well aware of the terror of the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation. This tribulation was caused by Shen Mo, but its scope was definitely not small! If one were caught in it, even as a bystander, one could attract the tribulation lightning and die without a burial place!

Upon hearing this, the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect immediately retreated like a tide, no longer caring about attacking the Xuanbing Pavilion members.

The remaining soldiers of the Xuan Yin Sect were terrified and scattered in all directions after letting out a shout.

In an instant, the rhythm of the entire Burial Soul Valley battlefield was completely disrupted because Shen Mo triggered the heavenly tribulation! Everyone was intimidated by the majestic heavenly might, and some were surprised, some were delighted, some were afraid, and some retreated.
