The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 88: The Tribulation of Enlightenment

"Fuxi!"

No sooner had the words left her lips than a goddess suddenly emerged from the void.

"Nuwa, you've come!"

Fuxi leaned against the dragon stele, a broken sword still in his chest, his aura extremely weak.

Clearly, although Fuxi killed all his enemies at the final imperial pass, he himself was also seriously injured.

Those who reach the threshold of enlightenment are all outstanding individuals of their generation. Even if there are differences between them, they have never crossed that crucial step.

Fuxi's ability to kill all these formidable enemies on the verge of attaining enlightenment in one fell swoop demonstrates his extraordinary abilities.

If he can successfully attain enlightenment, he will likely become an extremely powerful emperor.

"Don't speak yet, let me heal your injuries."

The next moment, beams of green divine light overflowed from Nuwa's fingertips, and boundless vitality instantly filled the entire Ultimate Imperial Pass. Heaven and earth seemed to regain their vitality and celebrate for her.

This is the Great Dao of Life unique to Nuwa. It not only has extremely strong restorative power, but it can also extract the life force and lifespan of enemies to replenish itself.

When they ventured through the starry sky, it was Nuwa's Great Dao of Life that healed their injuries, enabling them to overcome difficulties time and time again.

Of course, Fuxi's Dao of Heavenly Secrets also played a crucial role.

Both are indispensable; otherwise, they would have perished long ago in the pursuit of the various ancient clans.

As the green divine light gradually merged in, Fuxi's energy gradually stabilized and stopped declining.

"Ding!"

With a crisp sound, the broken sword that had been stuck in Fuxi's chest fell to the ground.

At the same time, Fuxi's wounds began to heal rapidly, his blood and qi became abundant, and his energy began to rise rapidly, soon surpassing what it was before the bloody battle. It seemed that he was really about to break through that shackle.

After a long while, Fuxi's injuries had fully healed, and he slowly opened his eyes, his tone full of apology.

"Nuwa, I'm sorry to have worried you!"

Since the two left the ancient star, they have always fought side by side, and there have been very few instances where the other was left to face the enemy alone.

But this time is different. He has reached the most crucial step. Without going through a bloody battle, Fuxi is not confident that he can overcome the tribulation of attaining enlightenment.

After all, with those examples of those who triggered the tribulation to attain enlightenment before him, he would encounter one of the strongest Dao-proving individuals in history—the Supreme Heavenly Emperor.

If one cannot withstand the illusory lightning tribulation of the Supreme Heavenly Emperor, thousands of years of cultivation will be lost in an instant. Even after a thousand years of arduous cultivation, Fuxi still did not have much confidence.

Finally, through complex deductions using the Heavenly Secrets Dao, it was calculated that only after a bloody battle could there be a certain chance of victory.

This is why he sent Nuwa away and faced numerous powerful enemies alone.

Fortunately, the final deduction was correct, and he successfully eliminated all his enemies, elevating his own Dao fruit to a new level.

"Fuxi, how confident are you now?"

Nuwa was naturally aware of Fuxi's plan, and after failing to persuade him, she could only let him do as he pleased.

After all, this was the path that Fuxi himself chose, and even if they were siblings, it was not appropriate to interfere too much.

For a cultivator, obstructing someone's path to enlightenment is three times more serious than the hatred of killing one's father or stealing one's wife.

This is why Fuxi was willing to let Jinwu and the others go in the end, but they still fought to the death and refused to retreat.

Upon hearing this, Fuxi's lips curled into a bitter smile.

"I just did another calculation, and the probability of encountering the Taiyi Heavenly Emperor's lightning tribulation phantom during the Dao Proving Tribulation is still 100%."

"We are about 50% confident that we can withstand the attack of the Supreme Heavenly Emperor!"

"What? Only 50%?"

Nuwa exclaimed in surprise, her face immediately turning grim.

There's only a 50% chance. If anything goes wrong during the tribulation, Fuxi will surely die and his soul will perish, with no chance of survival. "A 50% chance is already pretty good. You have to know that many geniuses don't even have a 1% chance."

"Moreover, the Heavenly Emperor Taiyi is of human origin. Perhaps he will spare me out of consideration for our shared human race."

Fuxi noticed the worry on his sister's face and said, half-jokingly.

The illusory image of the lightning tribulation is a projection of the mark left by the past enlightened beings by heaven and earth. It has no emotions of its own, so how could it possibly let him go?

Unless the Supreme Heavenly Emperor is still alive.

As is widely known, the Supreme Heavenly Emperor entered the path to immortality in his later years and passed away before the Immortal Gate, more than 15,000 years ago.

"Nuwa, you should leave for now!"

"While I am at the height of my power, I will trigger the tribulation to attain enlightenment and prove my Dao in one fell swoop!"

Fuxi's expression turned solemn; at this moment, his injuries had completely healed.

Moreover, carrying the power to slay all enemies, its might reached an unprecedented peak.

This is the best time for him to prove his Dao. If he misses it, his success rate will plummet. Fuxi is unwilling to miss this golden opportunity.

"Fuxi."

Nuwa was about to offer advice, but seeing the resolute expression on Fuxi's face, she couldn't bring herself to say the rest.

"Fuxi, I await your return after you have attained enlightenment. Let us go back to the Wind Tribe together!"

Before she finished speaking, the goddess who had just been standing in front of the Ultimate Imperial Pass had already disappeared, leaving only a lingering trace of her Daoist voice.

Fuxi stood before the ultimate imperial pass, his gaze sweeping across the starry sky and overlooking the vast human world.

He questioned himself in his heart!

"Can I succeed?"

"I should be able to succeed!"

"Besides me, Fuxi, who else in this world can break the shackles of the Taiyi Heavenly Emperor?"

Fuxi asked himself three questions in a row. The first question was one of doubt, and the second question was one of courage and determination to strengthen his belief.

By the third sentence, Fuxi had completely cast aside all his worries, leaving only boundless confidence.

His brows radiated an aura of invincibility, and his spirit shone ever brighter.

The next moment, the power accumulated within Fuxi's body erupted completely, like a dazzling celestial light illuminating the entire human universe.

In an instant, Fuxi's aura was sensed by all the myriad principles of heaven and earth.

Rumble!
Boundless lightning tribulations began to converge, and the aura of a world-ending calamity instantly spread throughout the universe, with a terrifying aura of destruction immediately enveloping the hearts of all living beings.

Someone has triggered the tribulation for attaining enlightenment!
In an instant, the immense tribulation of attaining enlightenment shocked the entire human realm, and countless beings turned their gazes toward the place where the tribulation had struck.

"The ultimate imperial pass is Fuxi!"

"Having slain numerous powerful enemies, Fuxi has accumulated an invincible aura, intending to strike while the iron is hot and overcome his tribulation of attaining enlightenment in one fell swoop?"

Soon, powerful members of the ancient clans determined the location of the Dao-attaining Tribulation, which was the Ultimate Imperial Pass where the bloody battle of geniuses had begun.

"He has recovered from his injuries so quickly, and judging from his aura, he has made further progress. Perhaps Fuxi truly has the potential to attain enlightenment!"

An unparalleled expert used the clan's royal weapon to glimpse the incomparably powerful figure within the lightning tribulation. The figure's blood and energy were extremely vigorous, and an endless sea of ​​blood appeared almost above the head of the figure.

"Is the Heavenly Mark, which has hung high for over 15,000 years, finally about to welcome a new master?"

A prodigy gazed at the vast tribulation of enlightenment at the Ultimate Imperial Pass, his heart filled with resentment.

He then let out a long sigh, seemingly regretting his previous cowardice in not daring to ascend the ultimate imperial pass and raise his sword against Fuxi.
