Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 628 - Successfully Overcoming the Tribulation

Thousands of Red Lotus Karmic Fire bloomed within Chen Fan’s divine nascent, swirling everywhere.

Their silhouettes were as large as a water jar.

Each unleashed an incredibly terrifying power, scorching Chen Fan’s divine nascent until it sizzled.

“This... this... what did Chen Fan do to provoke such heavenly wrath? Forbidden tribulations appeared for his physical body; now, the forbidden Red Lotus Karmic Fire has appeared during his wind and fire tribulation.”

Qiu Yuexin's eyes widened in shock. This wasn’t a tribulation; this was destruction.

As soon as the Red Lotus Karmic Fire appeared, it wrapped around Chen Fan’s divine nascent.

Despite its immense power, the divine nascent visibly withered and began melting.

The wind tribulation also erupted. Pitch-black strips of wind, immensely stronger than the fierce winds of the nine heavens, burst forth from within the divine nascent, sounding like ghosts wailing and gods howling.

Every strip of the black tribulation wind coalesced into sinister, vicious black dragons with sharp claws and scales, their mouths wide open.

These wind dragons worked with the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, intensifying the flames. It blew on the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, making them whirl and spin non-stop.

This was the Black Nightmare Dragon Wind, forbidden just like the Red Lotus Karmic Fire.

The “nightmare” refers to an incubus. When a martial artist was caught in this wind, they would unknowingly turn into ash in their dream and perish.

Chen Fan’s divine nascent transformed into a towering pillar of fire that stretched to the heavens.

The wind and fire roared with fury, spiraling around him and erupting relentlessly from within his divine nascent, growing more intense with every passing second.

As the wind and fire burned his divine nascent, haunting voices echoed through the air:

“Tribulation, tribulation, tribulation...”

“No escape, no escape...”

These ominous sounds seemed to declare that Chen Fan would be trapped in this tribulation.

What a horrifying wind and fire tribulation. Mine only had normal karmic fires and ordinary wind dragons—nothing like the overwhelming force Chen Fan is up against. Can he really survive this? Qiu Yuexin worried deeply inside.

During the physical tribulation, Chen Fan’s body was destroyed by the Miles of Rivers and Mountains, but his cultivation technique allowed him to be reborn. However, if his divine nascent succumbed to the wind and fire tribulation, it would spell complete annihilation.

Buzz, buzz, buzz. Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz...

Wisps of black qi rose from Chen Fan’s divine nascent.

Under the wind and fire tribulation, his divine nascent suffered immense torment, pushing him to the brink of destruction.

“Let’s see if this wind and fire tribulation has what it takes to destroy me!”

Chen Fan quickly took out the Dragon Soul Lingzhi, grabbing it with both hands. Instantly, it transformed into pure energy and flowed directly onto his divine nascent, still engulfed by the raging winds and flames.

Chen Fan’s divine nascent, looking twisted and hideous from the relentless struggle, found sudden relief, as if a heavenly dew had soothed it. A look of contentment replaced the agonized expression on its face.

“Dragon Soul Lingzhi, he even has such a miraculous treasure. Looks like this wind and fire tribulation will not be a problem now!”

Qiu Yuexin’s eyes lit up. Her tightly clenched fists loosened involuntarily.

She also knew of the effects of a Dragon Soul Lingzhi. It was best used when a martial artist faced their wind and fire tribulation. When their divine nascent reached the brink of collapse, this treasure could restore its strength immensely.

As the essence of the Dragon Soul Lingzhi flowed into Chen Fan’s divine nascent, the contorted expression gradually eased into one of tranquility. The wind and fire tribulation continued to encircle it, but the divine nascent remained unshaken.

Woo, woo, woo. Woo, woo, woo...

Sensing the resurgence of vitality within Chen Fan, an even fiercer wind and fire tribulation erupted from the depths of his divine nascent.

“Nirvana rebirth, wind refines my spirit, fire refines my body. Yin and Yang collide, and the cauldron coalesces the soul. Overcoming the tribulation, achieving paragon.”

Although the wind and fire tribulation was growing fiercer, Chen Fan stood unafraid with the Dragon Soul Lingzhi strengthening him.

Gradually, the wind and fire tribulation began to subside.

“He did it. He actually succeeded,” Qiu Yuexin muttered, her heart swelling with joy as if she had passed the tribulation herself.

Finally, the flames and winds surrounding Chen Fan’s divine nascent extinguished.

His divine nascent emitted an incomparably pure and holy radiance. It was incredibly spiritual and tangible, illustrating the power of Chen Fan’s divine nascent. It was much more powerful than the divine nascent of ordinary Divine Nascent realm martial artists.

After experiencing the baptism of the wind and fire tribulation, not to mention it being the Red Lotus Karmic Fire and Black Nightmare Wind Dragon forbidden tribulations, Chen Fan’s divine nascent emerged stronger than ever.

In a flash, his divine nascent transformed into a streak of light and shot into his glabella.

Hoo, hoo!

Suddenly, a terrifying suction force erupted from Chen Fan, forming a huge funnel vortex above his head. The primeval qi of heaven and earth was violently drawn in, rushing toward him with explosive force.

Boom, boom!

Chen Fan’s aura soared fiercely.

Crackle!

He quickly took out countless primeval stones. They exploded simultaneously, transforming into a storm of primeval qi, which he also devoured.

This terrifying phenomenon stunned Qiu Yuexin.

“Hahahaha, good, good, good, refreshing!” Chen Fan’s thunderous laughter resounded.

He was like a sponge, greedily soaking up an immense amount of primeval qi.

Chen Fan’s cultivation aura reached the peak of the first-level Divine Nascent realm. And with a boom and a crack, the threshold of the second-level Divine Nascent realm was broken through.

The depth and richness of his accumulated power erupted all at once, propelling him directly to the second level—a feat that was nothing short of astonishing.

Chen Fan’s surging aura came to a stop after a while. He retracted it completely, masking his true strength so effectively that he appeared no different from an ordinary person with no cultivation.

Boom, boom!

He clenched his fist, and the air in his palm was instantly crushed, shattering with explosive force.

Power. An overwhelming force surged within him, capable of dominating the world.

“How unexpected. I broke through to the second-level Divine Nascent realm in one go. Tsk, tsk, after the baptism of the heavenly tribulation, my Hegemonic Golden Body has also reached the third level. With my current strength, I can kill a third or fourth-level Divine Nascent realm expert with one punch!”

Chen Fan swung his fist, sensing that he could easily tear through space. Even a hundred-thousand-foot-tall iron mountain would crumble from his blow.

Qiu Yuexin cautiously flew over, her eyes wide with disbelief as she stared at Chen Fan.

“You...”

Chen Fan smiled, “What about me?”

“Nothing.” Qiu Yuexin shook her head, looking defeated, and said, “You’re really a monster, overcoming such a terrifying tribulation. You even broke through to the second-level Divine Nascent realm in one go. Amazing.”

“Haha, now that I have broken through to the Divine Nascent realm, I won’t be scared even if the Dragon God Army’s Great Dragon Lord comes. Let’s go to the Black Flame City and quietly wait for the Sky Dragon Divine Stronghold’s microcosm to open,” Chen Fan said confidently.
