Devouring the Stars: Reboot, Serpent of Eternity!

Chapter 431: Immortal Tribulation

Lu Dongbin slowly crossed the sea of ​​blood and came to the floating island in the center of the sea of ​​blood, where he met Bodhi Daozu and two strange monks.

"Meet Uncle Master."

Lu Dongbin bowed respectfully, then looked around and asked curiously, "Uncle Master, did you call me here alone, or am I here too early and the other Taoist friends haven't arrived yet?"

Bodhi smiled and joked: "You are recognized by the Three Realms as the most promising True Immortal to achieve Daozu. I only called you. Here is an opportunity for you."

Lu Dongbin was shrewd and cast a suspicious look towards Bodhi Daozu.

"Uncle Master, who are these two?"

"Oh, I forgot to introduce them to you. These two are on par with Nuwa. They belong to the Chaos Gods and Demons like us. They are still being nurtured in the Three Realms. They are the last Chaos Gods and Demons to be born. They are born at the realm of Pangu God. They are two sides of the same coin. They call themselves the Netherworld Taoist and the All Saints God. You were originally the Chaos God Donghua Emperor. Logically, you can call them Brother Dao, but after you reincarnated, you became a disciple of the Taoist sect. If we use this as a ranking system, you can call them Uncle Master."

"So it's the two uncles. Uncle Bodhi, you really didn't lie to me. It's a great opportunity for me to meet the two uncles today." Lu Dongbin smiled and bowed his head. "Greetings to Uncle Youming and Uncle Wansheng."

Orianna, who went by the alias of All Saints, just nodded slightly and stood behind Jiang Zhe, indicating the master-servant status.

Jiang Zhe chuckled and said, "You and I are both Chaos Gods and Demons. I won't let you call me 'Uncle Master' in vain. First, take a look at the 'opportunity' that Senior Brother Bodhi has prepared for you."

Bodhi took over the conversation and said, "I called you here this time because I want you to practice again, practice again with your memory."

Lü Dongbin couldn't help but wonder, "Reincarnation with memories? I don't reject it, but is there any point in doing so?"

"Yes, it will make you completely equal to a True God at the True Immortal stage, and give you Daozu-level combat power."

Lü Dongbin was surprised, "Can I reincarnate with my memories and understand the way of heaven?"

Bodhi held his forehead with his hand and handed over two inheritance crystals. "With your imagination, I can't explain it to you clearly. You can see for yourself."

Lu Dongbin smiled awkwardly and rolled his eyes in his heart.

I think you are just too lazy to explain to me...

Forget it, I want to see what you guys are up to? Is it some kind of heaven-defying secret technique that is suitable for me?

Lu Dongbin took the inheritance crystal and penetrated into it to investigate.

"Why is it a method of refining qi? The Yin-Yang Refining Volume, the Taiyin and Taiyang Sutra... Wait! This, this..."

Lu Dongbin's eyes widened, and the usual frivolous smile on his face changed. He didn't care about anything else and devoted himself to the contemplation of the two Qi-refining methods.

After a long time, his mind finally broke free from the inheritance crystal, with a solemn expression on his face.

"Please allow me to test the new Qi Refining Method. If I am right, the thunder tribulation for breaking through to the Celestial Immortal should be very strong. Among the Pure Yang True Immortals of Qi Refining in the Three Realms, I am the only one who has some confidence in breaking through."

Bodhi nodded, agreeing with Lü Dongbin's statement, and asked, "Which method do you want to practice?"

"The Taiyin Taiyang Zhenjing is extremely similar to the Chiming Jiutiantu. I want to rival the most powerful gods at the celestial immortal stage."

Bodhi could not help but warn him seriously: "You must know that the Heavenly Immortal Tribulation caused by the first-class Qi Refining Method is one level stronger than the Heavenly God Tribulation. You are reincarnated and cultivating again, which is even more difficult. If there is even the slightest mistake, you will probably be completely finished."

"I can only rely on myself to survive the tribulation. If I really don't have the qualifications to cultivate a first-class golden elixir, I will perish under the thunder tribulation..."

After a pause, Lu Dongbin suddenly smiled and looked at Jiang Zhe and Orianna.

"My two uncles, please don't let me call you 'uncle' in vain. Please take away my true spirit when the time comes."

"Haha, don't worry. There are not many cultivators with as much potential as you in the Three Realms. We will not let you disappear in vain." Jiang Zhe smiled and nodded in agreement.

Lu Dongbin bowed to Jiang Zhe and Orianna again.

"My three uncles, is your nephew going to the Six Paths of Reincarnation now?"

Jiang Zhe stopped him, "Wait, why are you going to the Six Paths of Reincarnation? Don't underestimate the power of the World God. Commit suicide on the spot, disperse your soul, and leave your true spirit. Leave the rest to me."

"Okay, thank you for your help, uncle."

Without any hesitation, Lu Dongbin sat cross-legged on the spot, died, and his soul left.

The spirit disperses automatically because it has no influence on the true spirit. The true spirit leaves the body and is thrown into the long river of destiny.

At this time, Jiang Zhe took action and intercepted the true spirit.

Then, he flicked his finger towards the void in front of him, and a chaos crystal appeared out of thin air, and exploded with a "bang". The surging chaos energy released was compressed and refined, turning into a drop of liquid.

"Is this Chaos Spirit Fluid? Can it be transformed using Chaos Crystals?"

Bodhi's eyes widened, knowing full well how precious Chaos Spirit Liquid was. The methods he obtained from the alien races required many rare items to practice, but most of them had annotations at the back that allowed Chaos Spirit Liquid to replace them.

The chaotic spiritual liquid flew towards Lu Dongbin's true spirit.

The chaotic spiritual fluid like a drop of water wrapped around the true spirit, and immediately began to naturally form a soul with the true spirit as the core.

The soul is complete.

The shadow of the soul of Lu Dongbin in green robe stood in the void, his consciousness was awakened, and he looked at his current situation with surprise.

"Uncle Master, this is amazing. I feel like I can generate a body with just a thought, and it must be the purest and most perfect body in the Three Realms! Uncle Master, what should I do now?"

Lu Dongbin did not act rashly and asked Jiang Zhe for advice.

"Don't worry. In order to better ensure your breakthrough to the Celestial Immortal, I have a suggestion. Please consider it——"

"Uncle-master, what am I considering? You can't harm me. Just do as you wish." Lu Dongbin made the decision without waiting for Jiang Zhe to finish.

"Donghua, you are still so unruly and can't change your dissolute nature. Let your uncle finish his words." Bodhi blew his beard and glared at him and cursed.

Jiang Zhe was not surprised. He shook his head and smiled, and continued: "I can't let you call me 'Uncle Master' for nothing. I want me to preside over the formation of your physical body and give you an innate magical power. It is both a technique and a way. It can help you protect yourself and assist you in understanding the way of heaven."

"Thank you for your kindness, uncle master!"

"Don't be impatient. Listen to me slowly. This magical power is considered a world-level secret technique. I named it 'Taixu Divine Light'. It controls nine-color divine light, representing the nine great heavenly ways of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, yin, yang, destruction, and life. It can be used alone to make the most of a single-color divine light, or it can be combined with the nine colors to derive chaos. It has infinite uses, and can be used to attack, seal, bind, confuse, and suppress... It can also assist in comprehending the nine great heavenly ways and the chaotic heavenly way. Once you fully understand it, you will be able to attain the Chaos Immortal."

Lü Dongbin pondered, and a strange smile gradually appeared on his face: "With this magical power, don't I have more four-color divine light than the Buddha Kong Xuan? From now on, when I travel in the three realms, I only need to use the five-color divine light, and I will have an extra vest that is indistinguishable from the real thing?"

Bodhi held his forehead with his hand, looking speechless.

When it comes to not making sense, Lu Dongbin, it has to be you!
I can imagine that in the future there will be a rumor in the Three Realms that the illegitimate son of Kong Xuan Buddha is trying to match people up with other women… If you really dare to do this, aren’t you afraid that Kong Xuan Buddha will turn you into an idiot with a ray of five-colored divine light?
Wait, if he really wants to become a true immortal, even if he cannot defeat Kong Xuan, the top Taoist master, with the fourth-level Tai Chi power and this world-level secret technique, he should be able to deal with Kong Xuan Buddha for a while.

It's bad. If the Lezi people take control of the power, it's hard to imagine how chaotic the three realms will be in the future.

but……

Bodhi cast an earnest gaze towards Jiang Zhe.

"Brother, here you go. The cultivation methods of the Grand Void Divine Light are all in it. Senior Brother Sanqing, Senior Brother Tathagata and other ancestral immortals who have fully comprehended multiple heavenly ways can all try to cultivate it and increase their combat power. It's better than nothing, right?"

Bodhi took the inheritance crystal and couldn't help but sighed: "Junior brother, I won't thank you, it's too simple. Your secret method is really timely. There are not many good Qigong secrets in the Three Realms. Most of the immortal and demon secrets that are famous in the Three Realms are magical powers."

Jiang Zhe waved his hand. This secret technique, which was improved from the "Taixu Divine Light", the most powerful innate secret technique bestowed upon Orianna by the original universe, was nothing.

Lü Dongbin in the spirit state smiled and said, "I got a great advantage. I have to say thank you to my uncle. The other Dao ancestors still have to practice, but I can treat it as an innate magical power and activate it at will. I guess the Dao ancestors will fight over this opportunity."

Then, his expression became serious and he bowed to Jiang Zhe, almost touching his head to the ground.

"Thank you, uncle."

"Get up. Forget about these empty formalities. I am going to rebuild your body."

Jiang Zhe used the magic power of his puppet body to lift up Lu Dongbin's soul, mobilized the power of the chaotic spiritual liquid, began to form a physical body, engraved it with innate divine patterns, and turned it into a secret talent that could be activated at will even though the principles were unknown.

For Jiang Zhe, who has taken the "divine power route" to the pinnacle, this is too easy.

Before Jiang Zhe created new life, Nuwa had already created the human race...Sending Nuwa to the "Devouring World" is also a good candidate for the "divine power route".

Soon, Lu Dongbin's "upgrade" was completed.

"Uncle Master, can I start practicing the Taiyin Taiyang Sutra now?"

"Let's start." Jiang Zhe nodded.

Then, with a flick of his sleeve, the entire Netherworld Sea of ​​Blood surged, and the flow of time on the Sea of ​​Blood gradually accelerated, a hundred times faster than in the outside world.

"Time speeds up?"

Bodhi was surprised, but soon he was relieved.

No problem, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Array also involves time acceleration. It seems normal for the World Realm to have such means to Bodhi.

The Moon and the Sun, the two supreme stars, illuminate the three realms. Even in the underworld, it does not affect the power to guide them.

The wonderful method of visualization enables the acquired internal energy born in the body to have properties, with Taiyin and Taiyang coexisting without the slightest conflict.

Advance, transform into innate true essence. Jiang Zhe made the formation in the sea of ​​blood play a role at the right time, mobilizing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to liquefy into essence liquid, and the green liquid wrapped around Lü Dongbin who was sitting cross-legged to practice.

Absorbing the essence liquid, the innate true essence accumulates in the Dantian, and the Purple Palace opens up!
Seeing this, Bodhi breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with satisfaction.

The practice continues...

In the Purple Mansion, Yuan Force gathers like a rushing river, creating a vast ocean in the Purple Mansion. This is the Yuan Sea, which continues to expand.

Stepping into the myriad things, the Purple Mansion Yuan Sea is steaming, and the vast amount of Yuan force is transformed into strange phenomena. It is not limited to the stars in the sky, the bright moon on the sea, and the rising sun in the east, but it faintly evolves into a splendid world... Not only is it in tune with the stars in the outside world, it rises to the small inner world and is in tune with the large outer world, as if it can draw strength from the heaven and earth at any time, and the Yuan force is endless and never exhausted.

At this state, Lu Dongbin separated his second soul.

He broke through the primordial spirit, broke through the earthly immortal, and stopped only when he was one step away from becoming a perfect earthly immortal.

Lü Dongbin sensed the surging power in the two bodies and couldn't help but sigh, "So this is the true strength of the Earth Immortals, which is completely on par with the Returning Ruins Gods and Demons. In fact, because of the mysterious and unpredictable methods of the immortals, they are even more powerful than the 'iron fools' like the gods and demons. A piece of immortal rope with strong binding force, activated by the magic power of the Earth Immortals, is enough to give the Returning Ruins Gods and Demons a hard time."

"Donghua, when are you going to break through?" asked Bodhi.

"We can do it now. Let the second soul break through first. If it succeeds, I will follow closely... In my current state, I can't venture into the Primal Chaos. It's difficult to make a breakthrough in my understanding of the Great Dao. It's better to make a concerted effort and experience the fierce power of the Heavenly Tribulation again."

"Donghua, this matter was caused by me. If anything happens to you, I will not be able to face Sanqing and Xiaoyao. What else do you need to overcome the tribulation? For example, immortal swords, magic weapons, protective robes... You tell me, and I will borrow them."

Lü Dongbin did not refuse and said, "Uncle Bodhi, please lend me a magical treasure of innate treasure for protection, and two magical swords of innate treasure, so that I can practice the mysteries of Tai Chi. I will be familiar with the secret art of "Taixu Divine Light" and then I will be ready to overcome the tribulation."

Bodhi nodded and was about to go to borrow it when he was stopped by Jiang Zhe.

Jiang Zhe joked, "I really doubt whether you know my background and are reading it. I will lend it to you, but it's just a loan. Don't think of taking these treasures of mine."

He flicked his sleeves, raised his hand and a sea of ​​blood surged.

Three beams of light shot out from the bottom of the sea of ​​blood, stopped in front of Jiang Zhe, and revealed their true appearance.

A twelve-petal red lotus and two murderous flying swords.

"The innate treasure, the red lotus of karmic fire!"

"The innate treasure, Yuan Tu! Abi! Killing all living things without being stained by sin."

"My companion treasure was born early because the Pangu world was shattered. It is of this quality only. I will lend it to you temporarily."

That’s right, Jiang Zhe in this world has taken on the identity of the ancestor of the Styx.

Pangu's chaotic world collided with Wujian's chaotic world, and almost killed him while he was still in the gestation stage. Later, Nuwa reshaped the chaotic world, and he hid in another spatial dimension in the form of the Eternal Snake to continue gestating.

The three innate treasures were pushed in front of Lu Dongbin, who was overjoyed.

"Thank you, uncle! Thank you, uncle!"

……

In a blink of an eye, March passed.

Lu Dongbin was fully prepared and mobilized the power of the formation to survive the calamity in the dark sea of ​​blood.

Wind disaster.

The wind howled.

Countless wind blades formed a huge vortex, and Lu Dongbin was in the center of the vortex. Red lotus leaves were dancing around him, and there was a faint flow of black and white colors, blocking all the fierce wind blades.

The last ray of "Heavenly Wind" poured in from the fontanelle on the top of his head, but was also blocked.

Fire disaster.

A huge, fiery vortex cloud appeared in the sky, with golden flames visible to the naked eye flowing in the center.

The clouds descended and were about to cover Lu Dongbin, and the temperature around him soared rapidly.

The flames were blazing and quickly rose to the level of true fire. Various kinds of true fire came one after another, including the true fire of the sun.

They were all caught in the crotch by Lu Dongbin with the help of the Red Lotus of Karma Fire.

The hot vortex clouds dissipated, and the last ray of "Heavenly Fire" descended. Without fear of obstruction, it turned Lu Dongbin into a fire man.

Soon, the fire was over.

it's dark.

The sky above the entire Netherworld Blood Sea became pitch black, covered by thick dark clouds, and the endless pressure made Yuanshen Taoist breathless.

Rumbling--

In the center of the endless dark clouds, there were faint purple lights that quickly turned white, and then blazing white... In a blink of an eye, they filled the entire cloud layer. The entire world seemed to have turned into a blazing white world, making it impossible to open one's eyes.

boom!
The first bolt of heavenly thunder that struck was completely white, dazzling white, holy white, and it crushed towards Lu Dongbin with grace and magnificence.

Bodhi frowned as he watched from under the Netherworld Blood Sea: "Even if it is a Heavenly Tribulation, I have never seen one so fierce. It starts with a white thunder tribulation, and there are eighty-one thunder tribulations. Could it be that the Pure Yang Golden Lightning cannot be the finale?"

boom! boom! boom! boom--

Thunderbolts struck one after another.

Starting from the ninth heavenly thunder, the elegant and dazzling white color began to gradually mix with a hint of gold, giving the heavenly thunder a supreme charm.

Later, the gold color gradually deepened.

The seventy-second lightning bolt was born from the chaotic vortex in the sky. It was completely pure golden without any other colors, and it had an extremely masculine and sharp aura.

Pure Yang Heavenly Thunder!
Pure Yang Golden Lightning!
"Taixu Divine Light, open!"

Nine lotus leaves flew out from the lotus platform of the Karma Fire Red Lotus, and nine-colored divine light circulated around Lu Dongbin, forming a nine-colored egg.

Successfully took on the Pure Yang Golden Lightning.

Until this moment, Lu Dongbin was still in his spotless green robe and looked very elegant.

The laws of nature in this chaotic world have their limits after all.

Even though Lü Dongbin was once a god of chaos, had been reincarnated many times, was a disciple of two Taoist masters, and practiced a first-class Qi-refining method, his celestial tribulation was no more than this.

Unable to break through the fourth level of Tai Chi power, as well as the defense built by the world realm secret techniques and three innate treasures.

Starting from the 73rd heavenly thunder, the color of the pure yang golden thunder darkened, mixed with a hint of frightening black, and struck down on the head.

Bodhi's face was solemn and gloomy, "Ultimate destruction, the Heavenly Dao does not want Donghua to live at all!"

Article 81.

The dark golden thunder, with an extremely dazzling black light at its core, was like a tyrant who did not conceal his intention to destroy... and it struck down heavily.

"Go." Lu Dongbin pointed.

The black and white sword lights shot up into the sky, twisted into a strand, and transformed into a black and white dragon, which coiled its body and wrapped around the falling thunder.

The power of Tai Chi, the fourth level, is fully displayed.

As a way of applying skills similar to Kendo, Tai Chi is best at containing, unloading, and weakening...

The black and white dragon disintegrated, and Abi and Yuantu flew out.

A dull dark golden thunderbolt struck a strange black and white egg, but ultimately failed to split the eggshell and dissipated.

"Good! Good! Good!" Bodhi was very excited. "It's over."

Jiang Zhe shook his head, "No, this is just the beginning."

Bodhi was surprised, "Inner demon tribulation? With Donghua's heart of Taoism, there is absolutely no problem!"

"Brother, I'm talking about the process of refining the golden elixir. It's time to test my level of creating a method." Jiang Zhe shrugged, "If it succeeds, I'll see the first-class golden elixir. If it fails, I'll see the bloody fireworks."

Bodhi: “…”

Fortunately, nothing went wrong.

After the inner demon calamity.

Celestial music sounded, auspicious clouds descended from the sky, and golden lotus emerged from the ground.

A terrible pressure descended, and the surging power of heaven and earth gathered. The great formation in the netherworld and sea of ​​blood was also activated, gathering the power of the vast world onto Lu Dongbin.

Snapped!
A golden lotus seed is born on the lotus pod of the golden lotus, which is round and golden. Scenes of the sky, earth, mountains and rivers can be seen emerging.

First-class golden elixir, done!
