Chapter 679: Stronger Again

Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon

The billions of sword beams combined into one divine dragonlike beam that swept through the sky, flying straight into the blackish-red tribulation cloud.

Attacking a tribulation cloud was taboo during the transcendence of a tribulation. Only those with absolute confidence of transcending a tribulation would dare to do so. Therefore, this scene left many mighty figures in the Three Realms watching with bated breaths.

“Boom!!!”

After the sword beam flew into the tribulation cloud, the red glow in the eye of the vortex expanded abruptly as it erupted!

“Seal.” Qin Yun looked high up as he shouted lightly.

The sword beam suddenly drew out a circle, completely sealing the tribulation cloud, and although the tribulation cloud was smiting with all its might, the released powers were completely restrained.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!” The tribulation cloud’s fires swept in every direction.

Qin Yun’s expression changed slightly.

The sword beam barely lasted for a breath before it buckled against the forces.

“Disperse.”

Qin Yun immediately followed up with a mental command.

The sword beam dispersed and broke off into billions of sword flashes that rapidly flew beneath the bottom of the tribulation cloud to condense into another dragonlike beam.

“The power within the tribulation cloud is too powerful. I’m still far from being able to seal it straight on,” Qin Yun thought. “This move I recently figured out from my seclusion, Streaming Dragon, is the strongest offensive move of the Misty Rain Array. It’s about 100% stronger than the Three Absolutes Seven Stars from before. It’s enough to match the silver-haired woman from the other universe. It’s unable to suppress the tribulation cloud, but would it be able to withstand it?” Qin Yun pondered.

He was also trying to pry into the might of the eleventh Itinerant Immortal tribulation and from there, estimate the might of the next tribulation.

Boom!” The tribulation cloud’s flames burgeoned as it changed internally. Finally, the burgeoning cloud rapidly contracted into a tiny tribulation cloud which was of even more horrifying might.

“Boom!”

The contracted tribulation cloud spewed out a black flame that blasted straight at Qin Yun.

“It’s here.”

As all the tribulation cloud’s powers gathered into a black flame that came blasting downwards, the Streaming Dragon sword beam soared into the sky, clashing with it head on.

Accompanied by a loud bang, the black flame column collided with the Streaming Dragon beam. As the Streaming Dragon swirled around, the entire beam resisted with all its might, putting its power into diverting the flame! The black flaming column was constantly attacking as it burned the Streaming Dragon. Sword flashes were constantly disintegrated from the burning as the Streaming Dragon rapidly shrank at a discernible pace.

Soon, the Streaming Dragon shrank to absolute oblivion while it swirled around.

After the black flames destroyed the Streaming Dragon, there was little left of the remnant black flames. But before they could make enough progress to touch the Misty Rain Array, they were destroyed by the drizzle that permeated the area.

The world returned to calmness.

The tribulation cloud was gone as well.

“The tribulation cloud was able to deliver its full might, and was able to annihilate my strongest Misty Rain Array offensive move.” Qin Yun looked up as the black flames dissolved in his Misty Rain domain. His heart was heavy. “The eleventh Itinerant Immortal tribulation’s combined blast should be able to match the might of the twelfth Itinerant Immortal tribulation’s fire tribulation.

“However, the twelfth Itinerant Immortal tribulation is comprised of the wind, fire, and lightning tribulations. The wind and fire tribulations are secondary, while the lightning tribulation is the strongest.

“The tribulation cloud released strength at the half-step Heavenly Dao realm.

“Going by this… the twelfth Itinerant Immortal tribulation’s most terrifying lightning tribulation likely has might at the Heavenly Dao realm.

“Is it really as speculated that one has to have the strength at the Heavenly Dao realm to survive it?” This thought weighed on Qin Yun’s mind.

“Whatever. I will adopt the necessary measures depending on the situation. I will do whatever can be done and do my best. If I still fail, there will be nothing more for me to say.” Qin Yun quickly collected himself as he turned to look at the worried crowd on Mt. Lightning Roar’s mountaintop. He revealed a smile as he took a step forward.

Fiendish dominion.

Boxun sat cross-legged on a desolate cliff as he watched everything that happened in the Heavenly realm.

“He did not even use the Misty Rain Array to withstand the blast. Just with a combination of sword beams, he managed to face off the tribulation cloud?” Boxun said softly. “This Sword Immortal Qin’s strength has risen again. He’s a lot stronger than when he killed Daoist Wen.”

His eyes were extremely sharp.

He noticed at a glance that Qin Yun’s Streaming Dragon was much stronger than the Three Absolutes Seven Stars which killed Daoist Wen.

“Previously, only his defensive sword array was powerful enough to count him among the half-step Heavenly Dao realm existences. His offensive moves lined the bottom, making him weaker than Zhurong and me, much less the Ancestral Dragon or Hou Yi. Now, this dragonlike sword beam’s strength is not inferior to mine. He has rectified one of his weaknesses.” Boxun sighed secretly.

The speed at which Qin Yun grew made him feel the pressure.

“Truly astonishing. This sword immortal is so powerful that he makes us fiends powerless against him. If he were left to develop his strength further, it’s not impossible for him to wipe out the fiends across the Three Realms. Thankfully, an even more terrifying Itinerant Immortal tribulation is awaiting him a thousand years later.” Boxun looked forward to the day that the Itinerant Immortal tribulation would take Qin Yun away.

If not, Sword Immortal Qin would prove to be a huge catastrophe for the fiends.

“Impressive. His sword beam fended off the tribulation cloud?” A white-dressed man marveled. “This Sword Immortal Qin is turning even more unfathomable.”

“Qin Yun is highly talented. Unfortunately, there is the Heavenly Tribulation stopping him. However, these Heavenly Tribulations are a form of training. One Itinerant Immortal tribulation at a time is a form of tempering. As long as he survives it, it will only make him stronger.” The lord of the Western Paradise Great World, Amita, looked into the distance. “Is it a calamity or luck?”

Amita’s eyes glinted with a light of wisdom. Feeling inspired, he immediately sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and entered a deep level of meditation.

He even isolated himself from all contact.

Apart from Buddhist Ancestor Gautama’s forced contact, no other cultivator could disturb him.

*****

Only the most pinnacle existences of the entire Three Realms understood the might of Qin Yun’s transcendence. The ancient existences all knew that Sword Immortal Qin was now stronger than when he killed Daoist Wen.

“Numinous Treasure, this disciple of yours is developing at quite a startling speed. If his Intrinsic Flying Sword were to become a Merit Cardinal treasure, perhaps he might be able to survive the final Itinerant Immortal tribulation,” said Grand Supreme Dao Ancestor via voice transmission. “I also wish to see if the Itinerant Immortal tribulations have an end before I leave the Three Realms. If there is really an end, and the final tribulation is survived, what sort of changes would an Itinerant Immortal undergo?”

“If my disciple can’t survive it, perhaps no Itinerant Immortal in the Three Realms can,” said Numinous Treasure.

“Numinous Treasure, are you that certain? Who can tell the future that clearly?” Grand Supreme said.

“I refuse to believe that there will be an Itinerant Immortal stronger than my disciple in the Three Realms.” Numinous Treasure curled his lips.

Grand Supreme laughed without an additional word.

The eleventh Itinerant Immortal tribulation became a talking point among many beings in the Three Realms. After all, since Bai Ze’s previous incarnation in ancient times, Qin Yun was the only one who survived the eleventh Itinerant Immortal tribulation.

Everyone talked about the might of the Itinerant Immortal tribulations.

They wondered if Sword Immortal Qin was able to survive the twelfth tribulation and if he would finally be free from the Itinerant Immortal tribulations or perish to an even stronger one.

Once he died, the Fiend Ancestor would attack him in Samsara! He would ensure that Qin Yun died completely.

“Whew! Whew!”

A wisp of bloodline powers of another universe and a wisp of Pangu’s bloodline powers floated around in a chamber.

Qin Yun was seated cross-legged when he finally opened his eyes.

It was nine months after the eleventh Itinerant Immortal tribulation. He had entered seclusion to digest everything he gleaned from the tribulation.

“Retrieve.” Two jade bottles stored away the two wisps of bloodline powers.

“Ever since I obtained these two bloodline powers of the physical lineage, I have been studying them carefully, especially the one from the alternate universe. After all, he is better at defense, while Pangu’s bloodline can only be used as reference for now,” thought Qin Yun. “But even with it only being a reference, I was able to figure out Streaming Dragon. If I were to fully focus on the Pangu bloodline powers, I might be able to figure out an even stronger move.”

Qin Yun laughed. “However, I can’t waste my time.

“If I survive the final Itinerant Immortal tribulation and obtain eternal life, I will then have the luxury of time to carefully study Pangu’s bloodline powers.”

The Three Realms had many Dharmic formulations, array formations, and divine powers which were related to Pangu’s bloodline powers.

Furthermore, they were extremely powerful in battle.

As for the bloodline powers of the other universe, Qin Yun had been studying them for more than two thousand years. He had benefited greatly from them. He even had the chance of figuring out divine powers and mystic arts, all of which were extremely powerful at defense.

“I have little time left. I should head to the Chaos spatial rift.” Qin Yun got up and exited seclusion.

On the same day.

Qin Yun headed to the Effulgent Great World to visit Hou Yi.

On his trip to the Chaos spatial rift, Hou Yi was the first person on his invite list.
