Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

Chapter 538: Chapter 204: “The Preacher”!_2

In this soon-to-be-over era of chaos, every Alien Clan member signifies a walking Cultivation Pill, the higher their Cultivation, the more precious they are. It’s quite a pity whenever one dies.

“Boom… Boom!!”

Just moments after Chen Qiu emerged alone from the Earth Cave, hundreds of Thunder Punishments struck towards the cave, passing through it like a Spiritual Body and descending near Chen Qiu.

The deafening sound kept erupting at the edge of the sky.

…

Meanwhile, outside the Earth Cave, the Demon Clan Patriarch had already readied the army, preparing to attack the moment the Heavenly Tribulation ceased. This was a battle for the clan’s extinction, an all-out assault.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a splendid Heavenly Tribulation.”

The Demon Clan Patriarch gazed absentmindedly at the myriad of Heavenly Thunders above, each flickering with purple-blue light. The last time he saw such a splendid Heavenly Tribulation was during his own father’s tribulation.

That time was even more spectacular, except the Heavenly Thunder was not purple-blue but pure white.

Or rather, a ghastly white.

The kind of color of a corpse soaked in water for a month.

His father was a very talented member of the Demon Race, breaking through to the Peak of Divinity Transformation quite early. At that time, everyone believed his father could become the second of the Demon Race to reach the Void Refining Stage, leading the Demon Race to rise completely.

However…

Things did not go as hoped.

That day, one-tenth of the land in Evil State was cleared out specifically for his father to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation. The Demon Race’s top echelon powers were all around to guard, preventing any hostile forces from attacking.

And they even concealed the heavenly secrets to avoid being predicted by Gua Cultivation experts.

In those years, the Demon Race also collected many Spiritual Treasures that could weaken the might of the Heavenly Tribulation, making many preparations, but, in the end, they still failed.

This was unlike the Heavenly Tribulation for each small realm breakthrough during the Divinity Transformation Stage, divided into the First of the Nine Thunder Tribulations, Two Nine Thunder Tribulations, and so on.

The Heavenly Tribulation for breaking through from Divinity Transformation Peak to Void Refining.

There were only nine.

Nine ghastly white Heavenly Thunders.

The world also called them Nine Death Summoning Orders, akin to Yama issuing nine death summoning orders to you. If you survived all nine, you would officially break through to Void Refining, becoming a power of the Void Refining Stage.

That is, the strongest on the Xuantian Continent.

You would become the strongest in your force, in your clan. Your name would live forever on the first page of the family records. Your family members, because of your existence, would be flattered and courted by countless forces, simply because you are at Void Refining, the strongest in this world.

If you wished, you could even destroy a minor state at any time if you didn’t mind your sin value skyrocketing, causing the might of your next Heavenly Tribulation to also surge.

And these nine ghastly white Heavenly Tribulations, like an impregnable barrier, kept ninety-nine percent of the Divinity Transformation Peak practitioners on the Xuantian Continent out of reach.

There are very few on the Xuantian Continent with Divinity Transformation Peak Cultivation. Almost all Divinity Transformation Peaks are leaders or revered ancestors of various forces. Still, there are some, significantly fewer than in the Void Refining Stage.

His father…

That man, hailed as the most powerful Heavenly Pride of the Demon Race in history, widely believed to be capable of leading the Demon Race to new heights, perished under the sixth Heaven Thunder.

Not a bone was left.

Returned to the heavens.

Vanishing entirely into oblivion, no longer of this world.

“Splendid?”

Standing beside him, the Dragon Clan Patriarch Ao Tian spoke with an indifferent expression, “Then you haven’t seen that hundred-thousand-strong Thunder Punishment in Evil State, nor have you seen the Annihilation Thunder Tribulation caused by Chen Qiu’s breakthrough to Divinity Transformation with 2.9 billion sin values and a twelfth-grade Nascent Soul in the Central State.”

“Both of those Heavenly Tribulations were far more magnificent than this one. Although this one is not small in scale, it pales in comparison to those two.”

“Mhm.”

The Demon Clan Patriarch nodded with a slight sense of regret, “I wouldn’t dare to be like you, being a Patriarch without a single person behind me. I’m quite busy ordinarily; there are many things that require my approval.”

“But you’re also at the Peak of Divinity Transformation. When do you plan on attempting to break through to Void Refining?”

“…”

Ao Tian scanned the Demon Clan Patriarch with a cold snort but said nothing. If he had heard this before, he might have become angry, since that sort of comment was a jab at a sore spot.

Everyone knows there aren’t many of the Dragon Clan left alive.

But now…

He glanced at Fat Long nearby and a hint of amusement appeared in his eyes. The Dragon Clan was very different from before. With Fat Long, in three more months, the first batch of Dragon Pups would be born.

In another year, these Dragon Cubs would all be grown, a year-old Divinity Transformed.

When the time comes…

The name of the Dragon Clan would once again be well-known throughout the world. Having struggled to survive for tens of thousands of years, the Dragon Clan finally found their opportunity.

A “Preacher” with the Twelfth Grade Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Bloodline!

The mission of a Preacher is to spread the seeds of faith.

And so does Fat Long.

He didn’t respond to the Demon Clan Patriarch but merely raised an eyebrow and said, “Aren’t you at the Peak of Divinity Transformation too? When are you going to try breaking through to Void Refining? If the Demon Race had two at Void Refining, wouldn’t the Dwarf Clan have been wiped out by your Demon Race long ago?”

“Later, it’s not the right time now.”

The Demon Clan Patriarch fell silent for a moment and then shook his head, “You also know the dangers of breaking through to Void Refining, those nine Yama Ropes of death summons. Survivors are one in ten; at least for now, I don’t have much confidence.”

“I will try when my son grows up and can stand on his own. This way, even if I die, the Demon Race would still have a backbone and a successor.”

“Mhm.”

Ao Tian, about to say something else, was struck by these words and turned his head toward the myriad of Heavenly Thunders above the Earth Cave of the Dwarf Clan, lost in thought.

He was the same.

Long having reached Divinity Transformation Peak Cultivation, he hadn’t dared to break through to Void Refining.
