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

Chapter 57 Slaying the Three Corpses!
"No...something's not right. He's using tribulation to refine his technique! Those three illusory corpses...he's using the power of the Great Dao tribulation to perfect his technique!"

"Stop him! We absolutely cannot let him succeed! Otherwise, the consequences will be dire!"

Unable to contain themselves, a dark giant summoned boundless dark matter, transforming it into a gigantic hand that obscured the sea of ​​boundaries. Taking advantage of Lu Xuan's distraction while fighting the causal tribulation fire, it launched a ruthless sneak attack!

"Humph!"

Lu Xuan snorted coldly, facing the combined attack of the Great Dao Calamity and the Dark Giant.

He actually directed a portion of the tribulation power towards that giant dark hand!

"boom!"

The causal calamity fire collided with the giant dark hand, unleashing an unimaginable energy storm.

The dark giant let out a muffled groan, its giant hand instantly ignited by the calamity fire, causing it to retract in a sorry state, its aura weakened considerably.

This scene made the other awakened giants of the Boundary Sea feel a chill in their hearts, and they temporarily suppressed their thoughts of taking action.

This monastery is too fierce; it can even bring about a calamity against the enemy!
Lu Xuan stood alone amidst the raging waves of the Boundary Sea and the cataclysmic calamity. The Chaos Bell protected him, and the phantom images of his three corpses flickered uncertainly in the calamity, yet became increasingly solid.

He used himself as a furnace and the Great Dao's creation of laws as a whetstone to hone his method of severing the three corpses!
This tribulation is not just a battle for survival, but also a battle to prove the Dao to all the heavens and myriad worlds!
Deep within the Boundary Sea, more and more ancient gazes are fixed upon this place, filled with shock, apprehension, murderous intent, and a hint of indescribable anticipation.

Everyone understood that if Lu Xuan successfully survived this ordeal, a brand new era would inevitably arrive.

If he fails, all will be lost, including that heaven-defying method of severing the three corpses, which will vanish into thin air.

The fate of the family rests on his shoulders.

The border sea has become a vortex of destruction.

The power of the Great Dao's Creation Tribulation far exceeded imagination. It was not an unchanging lightning punishment, but rather it changed with Lu Xuan's resistance and the perfection of the law.

It is constantly evolving and upgrading, determined to completely eradicate this anomaly.

The churning clouds of calamity suddenly contracted, transforming into an extreme point of "nothingness," before rapidly expanding.

There was no sound, no light, no energy fluctuations, only the absolute Daoist aura of "annihilation" permeating the air.

The churning waves of the Boundary Sea ceased at this moment, the shattered remains of the ancient realm silently vanished into nothingness, and even the concept of time and space became blurred.

This is an attempt to forcibly erase all the foundations upon which Lu Xuan exists.

Let his Tao, his Dharma, and his person be completely erased from the universe's "records"!
Lu Xuan's pupils contracted as he sensed an unprecedented crisis.

The Chaos Bell rang out on its own, its sound creating ripples of chaos in the absolute silence, protecting the core area.

The three illusory figures above his head, especially the one representing the "true self," swayed violently, as if they might dissipate at any moment.

This method is in its infancy and not yet perfect, making it particularly vulnerable to such a fundamental act of obliteration.

"My Way exists, my Law is true!"

Lu Xuan let out a long roar that shook the boundary sea, forcibly defining "existence" within "nothingness".

The Dao Fruit within him, a fusion of primordial heritage and the laws of the perfect world, burned to its extreme, transforming into an inextinguishable primordial light that resisted the erosion of the myriad Daos in utter stillness.

This was a direct struggle between will and the origin of the Great Dao, extremely dangerous, and a trickle of blood shimmering with chaotic light spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Just as Lu Xuan was confronting the "Silence of All Paths," the tribulation clouds shifted once more, and countless mirrors, formed from fragments of inner demons and destiny, appeared, reflecting Lu Xuan's image. But what was reflected in the mirrors was not himself, but rather all the possibilities hidden within his heart, or those distorted and amplified by the Great Dao:
He failed to save the Golden Crow tribe and witnessed the tragic scene of the entire tribe's annihilation;
There is a terrifying future ahead where he will fall into darkness, wield the Chaos Bell, and become the world-destroying demon lord;
He went astray on his path, and his three corpses backfired, turning him into a twisted form of a monstrous creature devoid of reason.
This is a calamity more dangerous than any physical attack; once one's Dao heart is lost, there will be no hope of redemption.

Lu Xuan's Dao heart had long been as firm as a rock through billions of years of cultivation and countless battles, but at this moment it was not uncommon to feel ripples.

He saw the blood of his people and felt the temptation of depravity... However, the chaotic light in his eyes burned even brighter.

"The past is gone, the future is uncertain, only the present moment is real!"

"The Way of Taiyi is the root, and my Way is the trunk and leaves. How can there be any deviation?"

"The method of the Three Corpses is the ladder to transcendence; how could it be a wrong path?"

He pointed his fingers like a knife, not at the mirror image, but at his own heart!

Using the rudimentary method of "severing the three corpses," one can eliminate the fear, hesitation, and delusions arising from the mirror image!
With each distracting thought he eliminated, his Dao heart became clearer, and his gaze grew increasingly resolute.

Those countless inner demonic images crumbled and disintegrated before his increasingly pure and steadfast Dao heart!
The tremors and choices deep within the border sea.

The scene of Lu Xuan undergoing his tribulation was clearly reflected in the hearts of those ancient beings who were awakened, through endless time and space.

The giant, with its dark golden skeletal body, had pale soul flames flickering around it.

"What a steadfast Dao heart! He can actually cut through the inner demon image manifested by the Great Dao head-on... This child has already attained the Samadhi of 'True Self'."

A flicker of emotion flashed in those cold eyes that seemed to exist in a distorted spacetime.

"His method was perfected amidst the calamities. The three illusory corpses became even more solid. This method... may also be of some use to us."

Deep within the ancient temple of guidance, the dark wills were both shocked and enraged.

"We can't wait any longer! If he succeeds in overcoming his tribulation, our grand plan will be subject to countless variables!"

"boom!"

Another giant dark hand slammed down, this time not just one, but three at once!

Three different dark giants tacitly chose to launch their attack the moment Lu Xuan had just overcome his inner demon tribulation and his aura fluctuated slightly!

The giant hand was wrapped in dark matter that eroded everything, stirring up the resentment and curses that had accumulated in the depths of the Boundary Sea for countless epochs, making its power several times more terrifying than the previous attack!
At the same time, perhaps drawn by the intervention of the dark giants, or perhaps because the Great Tribulation felt that the intervention of external forces had disrupted some kind of balance.

The sixth calamity—the calamity of the struggle for the Dao—has arrived!

Within the tribulation clouds, three blurry figures emerged, possessing a similar aura to Lu Xuan but with entirely different Daoist charm!
One wields pure destructive lightning, another commands endless primordial light, and yet another is surrounded by an aura of deathly stillness that ends everything.

They seem to be the imprints of the most powerful beings in ancient history who attempted to challenge the order but failed, captured by the Great Dao, and now manifested.

He wanted to engage in a debate with Lu Xuan about the Great Dao, to prove that his "Dao" was inferior to that of the "Ancient"!
With three dark giants launching a sneak attack from the front and three Great Dao Imprints blocking his path from behind, Lu Xuan was instantly plunged into an unprecedented crisis!

"Well done!"

Instead of fear, Lu Xuan's eyes blazed with overwhelming fighting spirit.

This is the moment he has been waiting for, to push the law and the Tao to their extreme in the face of adversity!
The Chaos Bell suddenly swelled, its continuous chimes transforming into tangible chaotic ripples that forcefully blocked the combined strike of the three giant dark hands.

The boundary sea was shattered, forming a vast void abyss.
