C1525 Another Year
C1525 Another Year
In the depths of the snow, a cave stood towering like a snow mountain that never fell. It stood proudly between the heavens and the earth, and no matter how the snow raged and whistled, it was still unable to break through the formation on its surface.
Within the secret room.
A rich golden luster circulated around Lu Chen's body. Looking from afar, his precious appearance was solemn and divine, as if he was a god that descended from the mortal world.
Dao laws formed dazzling divine rings behind him one after another. The fluctuations that were released were enough to collapse the snow mountain and cut off the great river even if it was just a strand of energy.
As he breathed and breathed, Lu Chen's aura was extremely profound. It was like a black hole in the abyss, and it was difficult for anyone to find out what was going on.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Chen suddenly felt something. He slowly opened his eyes and shot out two lightning-like eyes.
"Perfect Martial Saint realm."
"Unfortunately, I am just a little bit away from reaching the threshold of the Martial Emperor realm." Lu Chen shook his head and disappeared from where he stood with a swoosh.
In the next second, he appeared in another secret chamber.
In front of him, a middle-aged man was sitting cross-legged on the ground. His Qi was violent and turbulent, as if a storm had stirred up a huge wave.
"Fourth Uncle, guard your mind."
Lu Chen's tone was somewhat hurried. Immediately, he stretched out his hand and placed it on Fourth Uncle's forehead. Part of the comprehension of the Martial Sovereign realm in the previous world slowly entered Fourth Uncle's body through his palm.
Fourth Uncle suddenly trembled. The originally violent fluctuation on his body slowly calmed down.
Lu Chen just stood by his side like this. After three days, Fourth Uncle finally calmed down.
"That was close."
"If it wasn't for your help, I wouldn't have been able to control myself and tried to break through. My body would have exploded and died."
Fourth Uncle opened his eyes and said with lingering fear.
Although only a year had passed in the outside world, two hundred years had passed in the cave. It allowed him to continuously become stronger while cultivating. He had directly touched the threshold of the Martial Sovereign realm, and he couldn't control himself and tried to break through.
If it wasn't for Lu Chen's help, he would definitely have died in the process of breaking through.
"Where did you get the enlightenment of a Martial Monarch Level?" Fourth Uncle came back to his senses and stared at Lu Chen with a burning gaze.
Previously, the situation had been extremely bad. At the critical moment, Lu Chen had shared the enlightenment of a Martial Monarch Level's cultivation path in time, allowing his chaotic soul essence cultivation to point out the direction. Only then did he control his own situation.
Furthermore, he had gained a lot.
"This is my secret. Please don't tell anyone about it, Fourth Uncle." After a moment of silence, Lu Chen didn't explain. Even if he said that he was Martial Emperor Ye Chen in his previous life, he was afraid that it would be too unbelievable, and it would be hard for others to believe it.
"Alright."
"I won't ask any further."
Seeing this, Fourth Uncle didn't pursue the matter further. He only gave Lu Chen a meaningful glance before continuing, "Initially, I didn't have the confidence to break through to that level, but now that I have the insight of a Martial Monarch Level that you have shared with me, I have at least 60% confidence that I can break through to that level. I want to try breaking through. "
"Fourth Uncle, have you really decided?"
"Yes."
Fourth Uncle nodded firmly.
"Okay. I will protect you." Sensing Fourth Uncle's determination, Lu Chen said in a deep voice.
For the next few days, Fourth Uncle didn't rush to break through. Instead, he kept adjusting his condition. There was a gap between the Martial Saint realm and the Martial Emperor realm, but it seemed like there was a huge gap between them. It was extremely difficult for him to break through.
On the Heavenly Martial Continent, although Martial Saint experts were rare, at least one or two out of ten million martial artists could be found. However, there might not be one out of a thousand Martial Saints who could successfully break through to the Martial Emperor realm.
Even if Lu Chen and Previous Martial Emperor were to gain enlightenment from them, they still wouldn't be able to break through to the Martial Emperor realm. Fourth Uncle was still only 60% confident. One could imagine how difficult the risk was.
Furthermore, breaking through was extremely dangerous. Different from other realms, to become a Martial Emperor Expert not only required one's comprehension of the realm to reach perfection, but also the process of breaking through to the next realm required one to experience the lightning tribulation of heaven and earth.
Even Martial Saints who had been at the peak of the Martial Saint realm for hundreds of years did not have much confidence in surviving the Tribulation of the Heavens and Earth. Almost 99% of them had died during the Tribulation of the Heavens and Earth.
This was also the reason why Martial Emperors were so rare, to the extent that they only existed in legends.
Five days later.
Outer space.
Looking at Fourth Uncle who was sitting cross-legged not far away, Lu Chen didn't stand by the side. Instead, he arranged layers of formations around him. Although his skill in formations wasn't high, he could still set up some formations to isolate his Qi.
The fluctuation of a Tribulation Transcender was extremely great, and it was very difficult for him not to be detected by a Martial Monarch Level warrior. What Lu Chen could do was to minimize the fluctuations to avoid being detected by other Martial Emperor Experts too early.
These days, Lu Chen had also made his preparations. Even if there were enemies attacking him, he was now at the peak of the Saint realm and had prepared many contingencies. He could still buy some time for Fourth Uncle.
"Lu Chen, I'm going to start."
"Alright."
Lu Chen nodded and signaled Fourth Uncle to be careful.
Fourth Uncle took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes. A mysterious fluctuation was emitted from his body, causing the surrounding space to resonate.
Countless laws fell down, and almost drowned Fourth Uncle. The latter continued to absorb these laws, and the aura on his body became stronger and stronger.
Lu Chen's expression was solemn. Fourth Uncle's foundation was not bad. When ordinary martial artists attempted to break through to the Martial Emperor realm, there were less than a hundred heavenly passages. Even when he broke through to the Martial Emperor realm in his previous life, there were only a thousand of them.
However, the number of Dao Laws that Fourth Uncle had triggered had already increased by several hundred. As time passed, the number of Dao Laws continued to increase.
Looking from afar, it seemed like Fourth Uncle was connected to the heaven and earth. Under the entanglement of countless Dao Laws, the fluctuation of his Qi became stronger and stronger. It even surpassed the scope of the sage realm.
Buzz.
This fluctuation was too strong. The isolation formation set up by Lu Chen began to crack and shatter one by one.
Lu Chen's expression was solemn. He began to form hand seals, trying his best to hide the energy wave.
The isolation formation continued to form and then shatter. In the end, the formation that Lu Chen had set up did not have the time to keep up with the speed of destruction.
More and more Dao Laws appeared. In the end, they only stopped when they reached close to a thousand. Fourth Uncle's Qi rose to the extreme.
When looked at from afar, Fourth Uncle's entire body was like a furnace that burned fiercely, and countless Dao Laws were like firewood that ceaselessly surged into his body to help him complete his transformation.
Boom!
In the void, dark clouds slowly gathered. Soon, there was no light in the surroundings, and it had completely turned into a dark night.
Bolts of lightning appeared in the depths of the lead clouds. A terrifying pressure was aimed at Fourth Uncle's figure.
Bang, bang...
The remaining isolation formation shattered with a sound, and it was impossible to suppress this terrifying fluctuation any longer. It was like a stone had fallen into a calm lake, and it caused waves of ripples to arise.
At this moment, all the Martial Saints in the Tianwu Continent had broken through to the Martial Saint realm. At that instant, all the Martial Sacred Realm experts in the Tianwu Continent could sense the intense fluctuation coming from the depths of the sky at almost the same time.
"Such a terrifying fluctuation. Could it be that someone is transcending the tribulation and becoming an emperor?"
"Who exactly is it? Aren't you afraid of dying in the great tribulation?"
"Good fellow, I'm going to see who it is. The lightning tribulation that caused such a commotion is rather rare."
...
Many powerful cultivators were heading in the direction of the Lightning Tribulation. They were not just here to watch the show. They wanted to witness how terrifying the Tribulation was so that they could deal with it in the future.
A few extremely powerful auras soon appeared in Lu Chen's soul perception. A few Martial Saints appeared not far away, but none of them revealed their true bodies. They were all the experts closest to the north region.
"What a terrifying lightning tribulation. Who exactly is this person?"
"Can such a great tribulation succeed?"
...
These people automatically ignored Lu Chen. They looked at the lightning tribulation in the sky with fear in their eyes, as well as Fourth Uncle who was under the lightning tribulation.
The clouds were thick and heavy, and the deafening sound of thunder and lightning could be heard. The lightning tribulation seemed to have sensed the changes in Fourth Uncle, and it quickly took shape.
Boom!
Without any warning, a thick bolt of blue lightning struck down at Fourth Uncle. Its momentum was extremely terrifying, and it appeared above Fourth Uncle's head in the blink of an eye.
Bang!
Fourth Uncle had sensed it ahead of time. As his body transformed, his strength continued to grow. With a single punch, he shattered the bolt of blue lightning.
"Zi... Zi..."
As if angered by Fourth Uncle's actions, the lead cloud slowly rolled. Soon after, hundreds of blue lightning bolts were struck down with a cracking sound. Each bolt was as thick as a water bucket.
Fourth Uncle slowly opened his eyes. A divine light shot out from his eyes. Fist light shot up from the ground like a rainbow.
Bang!
Bang! Bang!
The fist light obliterated most of the lightning, but there were one or two that struck down, and it allowed Fourth Uncle's protective astral energy to completely block it.
