Perfection: The Eastern Emperor Bell manifests, I am the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor

Chapter 56 The Strongest Creation Tribulation in History
Lu Xuan felt a sense of enlightenment as she reflected on her unwavering pursuit of the ultimate Dao of alchemy and the deep-seated fear of not being able to become a king.

Lu Huang, on the other hand, came to realize his responsibility as the leader of his tribe and his excessive reliance on "stability" (ego, true self)...

The entire Golden Crow Clan's leadership was swept up in an unprecedented frenzy of enlightenment.

Although severing the three corpses is by no means easy, and the slightest carelessness could lead to the loss of one's Dao, it is undoubtedly the most brilliant beacon illuminating their path forward!

Lu Xuan's creation of the method did not directly improve the cultivation level of his clansmen in the slightest, but it gave them the key to break free from constraints and surpass themselves.

This is not only for the Golden Crow Clan, but also for him to deal with the source of darkness in the future.

The crucial step laid out – only by producing more true Immortal King-level combat power can the alliance truly be stabilized and have a greater chance of winning in the ultimate storm to come.

The Chaos Palace slowly returned to calm, and the illusory images of the Three Corpses that reflected the heavens gradually faded away.

However, the Daoist essence of the "Severing the Three Corpses" method has been deeply imprinted on this world and on the hearts of all the powerful beings who have witnessed this scene.

A brand new era of cultivation, pioneered by Lu Xuan, the Eastern Emperor, seems to have begun. The fates of the seven Quasi-Immortal Kings of the Golden Crow Clan, and countless beings in the myriad realms who are trapped at their bottlenecks, have all seen a new turning point thanks to this "Severing the Three Corpses" method.

The calm before the storm was finally shattered by the thunder of this creation, and what followed was a new round of transformation and impact.

The Daoist essence of the "Severing the Three Corpses" method spread like ripples, before anyone could fully comprehend it.

A sense of oppression that sent shivers down one's spine suddenly descended, sweeping across all the heavens and myriad realms!
That was neither murderous intent nor intimidation.

Rather, it is a fury originating from the very source of the Great Dao of the Heavens, a fury against acts that defy reason and challenge order!
"Boom!!!"

The deafening roar, beyond description, did not originate from the material world, but exploded directly at the level of the myriad laws!

The Immortal Realm, the Primordial Ancient Realm, and even the vast and boundless Boundary Sea—all beings above the Immortal King level clearly heard this deafening roar and felt the violent spasms and roars of the Great Dao Laws!

The Creation of Law!
Moreover, it is an unprecedented and unheard-of creation calamity of the Great Dao!

When an ordinary immortal king creates a technique, it may attract lightning punishment or incite inner demons, but that is mostly directed at the technique itself or the individual creator.

The core of Lu Xuan's "Severing the Three Corpses" method lies in "clarifying the true self and opening up a new path," which fundamentally shakes the existing rules of the Great Dao and their "definition" and "constraint" on the cultivation path of sentient beings.

It touches upon one of the fundamental logics of how the universe works!

This calamity is aimed at this method, and even more so at eliminating this anomaly that could cause endless variables!

Above the Golden Crow Clan's territory, the once clear Immortal Realm sky was instantly swallowed by impenetrable darkness.

That is not a cloud, but a tangible cloud of calamity manifested by the myriad laws of nature!
It is evident that the thunder is not lightning, but rather a divine chain of order that is broken and then reassembled.

It is clear that the storm is not an airflow, but a boiling thread of cause and effect.

It is clear that the flames are not fiery, but rather a void that burns along the trajectory of fate!
Furthermore, the earth, water, fire, and wind frantically reenact creation and destruction within it, as if one miniature universe after another is uttering its final lament in the process of birth and death!
The scope of this tribulation cloud was so vast that it covered the entire Immortal Realm and even spread towards the Boundary Sea!

The overwhelming pressure caused even the Celestial King to change color, feeling as if he were a small boat in a storm!
"This tribulation... cannot be overcome in the Immortal Realm!"

Lu Xuan's voice rang out calmly, yet it carried an undeniable determination.

If he were to withstand this calamity in the Immortal Realm, even if he survived, the entire Immortal Realm would likely be severely damaged.

Hundreds of millions of lives will be lost, and the land of the Golden Crow tribe will be the first to be affected, inevitably turning to ashes.

Before the words were even finished, the Chaos Bell emitted a clear and melodious chime, the sound waves rippling outwards and stabilizing the crumbling void surrounding the Golden Crow Clan's territory. Lu Xuan's true form rose to his feet, taking a single step that traversed endless space and time, appearing directly above the Boundary Sea!

He deliberately led the creation of the law to this boundless buffer zone.

Almost the instant he stepped into the Boundary Sea, the Great Dao Creation Tribulation erupted completely!

"Tsk-!"

The first tribulation is the blade of the law!
Endless blades, formed from the pure laws of the Great Dao, poured down from the tribulation clouds like a torrential rain. Each blade could easily sever stars and destroy great realms, but now they were densely packed, solely to sever the connection between Lu Xuan and the method he created!

Lu Xuan remained expressionless as countless strands of chaotic energy descended from the Chaos Bell above his head, protecting him within.

The blade of law struck the chaotic energy, unleashing dazzling sparks of Dao principles.

The light illuminated the vast expanse of the surrounding sea, and countless floating ancient remnants turned to dust in the aftershocks.

Next comes the karmic calamity!

An invisible flame was born from the void, burning not the physical body, but the endless causal threads entangled on the cultivator's body.

Under this fire, ordinary immortal kings would be entangled in karma in an instant, their Dao fruits burning away and they would perish.

Lu Xuan's body was covered with countless lines of cause and effect, connecting the past and future, and all the myriad beings in the heavens.

Amidst the sizzling sounds of the calamity fire, he activated the rudimentary form of the "Severing the Three Corpses" technique. The manifested illusory "original self corpse" swayed, actively absorbing, sorting out, and even temporarily "severing" some non-core causal relationships, preventing the calamity fire from igniting completely.

The third layer: The river of fate turns backward!

The vast, ethereal river of destiny was forcibly captured by the will of the Great Dao, with only a portion of it projected onto the river.

The turbid river water carries fragments of the fates of all living beings, like the overturning of the Milky Way, trying to wash away Lu Xuan and erase all traces of his destiny!
The Chaos Bell trembled violently, and the scene of creation appeared on the bell's surface, stabilizing the surrounding void and forcibly supporting an absolute chaotic domain in the surging torrent of fate, impervious to all laws.

The Boundary Sea was completely engulfed and in turmoil because of this creation calamity!
The terrifying aura of calamity, like a lighthouse in the darkest of times, instantly awakened countless beings who had slumbered for countless epochs deep within the Boundary Sea.

"Om-"

In an ancient temple surrounded by the remnants of billions of stars.

A colossal figure, composed entirely of dark golden bones, slowly raised its head.

His aura was ancient and decaying.

Yet it carried a menacing aura that made even the giants tremble.

"The Creation Tribulation... on such a scale... who is challenging the order of the Great Dao?"

Elsewhere, deep within a labyrinthine realm composed entirely of distorted spacetime, a pair of cold eyes opened, their gaze piercing through the endless void and landing on Lu Xuan, who was undergoing tribulation.

"The aura of chaos... it's that Golden Crow. He's actually reached this point... If this calamity passes, the格局 (geju, a concept encompassing the overall structure and overall balance) of the heavens will change."

Deeper still, near the source of darkness, within several ancient temples of guidance that were rising and falling, the wills that had originally plotted against Lu Xuan also experienced violent fluctuations.

"The Great Dao is enraged... Good! Excellent! This calamity is just what we need to annihilate this sect!"
