Chapter 427: The Final Tribulation Lightning, Forcibly Breaking Through Cultivation Realms, Shocking The Three Realms
When the thunder sphere completely encompassed Chu Kuangren, that immense lightning energy was already battering frenziedly with his Innate Ferocious Armor.
This Emperor Armor was incredibly powerful, but that huge amount of lightning energy still managed to breach through this Emperor Armor and jolted Chu Kuangren’s body.
At that instant, his body tore apart; in that instant, Chu Kuangren harnessed his Universal Cauldron Physique to its limit!
Although he had converted a massive amount of lightning energy, there was still a good portion of it that he did not manage to convert. As such, it ended up damaging Chu Kuangren’s body.
The Immortal Body was activated!
His torn body began to heal rapidly!
While he was healing, he continued to absorb it. With the help of these two great God-tier Physiques, Chu Kuangren pulled through the eighth tribulation lightning!
“I’m left with the last one now!”
Chu Kuangren grinned.
His Sage ascension trial could be described as the toughest heavenly tribulation that history has ever seen. He was only left with one final tribulation lightning. After that, his ascension would be complete.
By then, he would instantly become a Sage, especially with the foundation levels that he had already accumulated.
He could even try to achieve the Supreme Sage Foundation Level in one go!
Boom!
Two more enormous thunder spheres emerged in the sky.
These were the two Boundary Emperors’ ninth tribulation lightning!
“My two fellows, good riddance.”
Chu Kuangren smiled at the two Boundary Emperors.
The thunder spheres came crashing down!
The two Boundary Emperors, who were already sapped of energy, stood no chance against such a terrifying magnitude of power. Even after they had defended themselves with all their might, they still ended up pulverized into nothing but ashes.
When the two Boundary Emperors had crestfallen, all the elites on Firmament Star felt their eyes twitch inadvertently. Just like that, two almighty Boundary-Emperors had been erased from existence.
This Chu Kuangren… was way too scary!!
With the fall of the Boundary Emperors, only Chu Kuangren was left at the scene.
The multicolored whirlpool ejected a beam of rainbow light, encasing Chu Kuangren inside it. Then, endless lightning energies surged down from the sky and hit his body like unending torrents.
This was the ninth tribulation lightning!
Chu Kuangren felt an incredibly horrifying pressure rain down on him. As such, the ground under his feet began to sink, forming a ten-kilometer-wide crater!
On top of that, with the beam of light as the center, cracks began to emerge. Like a spider web, it spread on the ground within a ten thousand kilometers radius.
“Bring it on!!”
Chu Kuangren growled as he raised his Innate Ferocious Armor to its limit to fend off the lightning energies. Those that he could not block off were absorbed by the Universal Cauldron Physique, and those that he could not absorb ended up destroying his body. However, with his Immortal Body to recover, he soldiered on and ground out valiantly with the tribulation lighting!
This tribulation lightning lasted way longer than any of the previous tribulation lightning. After some twenty minutes, it still had not ended. The tribulation lightning energy continued to surge down from the skies endlessly.
It looked like it would not cease until it had Chu Kuangren dead!
All the elites of Firmament Star had their eyes glued on this.
Today, they had already witnessed numerous miracles in Chu Kuangren’s hands!
Now, they just wanted to see if this guy could pull through this never-before-seen heavenly tribulation and claim the unprecedented title as the greatest elite of all time!!
Chu Kuangren endured the appalling lightning energy inside the beam of light,
His Universal Cauldron Physique had already been cast to its maximum potential. However, there was still about one-third of the lightning energy that could not be converted, which ended up destroying his body!
This one-third of lightning energy was incredibly scary. Even if he had the help of Boundary Emperor Chang Kuang and Boundary Emperor Hai Ye, they would not be able to pull through.
Relying on his Immortal Body, Chu Kuangren kept persisting and fighting.
Nonetheless…
He could clearly sense that the recovery speed of the Immortal Body was already struggling to keep up with the speed at which his body was being damaged!
His flesh and blood were continually torn apart, not into dried flesh chunks but minute charred debris!
If his whole body was turned into debris, with his third Immortal Body, chances were that he could really end up dead this time!!
Under such circumstances where he could lose his life, Chu Kuangren was not fearful. In fact, he felt inexplicably excited!
“Is this the adrenaline of racing against death?! How thrilling!”
Click…
Chu Kuangren’s knees suddenly fractured, causing both his legs to give way.
Right before he was about to kneel, he resisted it with all his might. He did not care if both his legs were about to be broken as he slowly straightened his back.
“Dear heavens, do you really want to see who can last longer?!”
“Bring it on then!!”
Chu Kuangren let out a low grumble. The Universal Cauldron Physique, which was initially absorbing lightning energy, began to refine the energy stored within his body instead!
At that instant, a colossal amount of energy was transformed into the purest of spiritual powers and infused into Chu Kuangren’s spiritual mound. With that, his cultivation base rapidly escalated.
He was forcing his way into breaking through realms before his ascension was completed!
How much energy was in the Universal Cauldron Physique?
Too much!
Demonic pus from the Demonic Hoarder Forefather, Hellfire, soul energies from several Sage Rulers and the Four Furies, tribulation lightning…
He even retrieved the dead body of the Nine-Headed Snakelet, the Serpent Deity, and the Boundary-Emperor. He placed all of that into the Avarice dimension to absorb all their blood and flesh essences.
Once these energies were converted into spiritual power and infused into his spiritual mound, Chu Kuangren’s cultivation base would advance into the Sage Realm!!
Inside the spiritual mound, the Six Great Supreme Foundation Levels radiated with a flash of dazzling brilliance.
A surge of Daoist Rhyme reverberated inside his spiritual mound, where a purple lotus that had nine petals began to morph and take shape.
Each one of its petals flowed with an extremely mysterious Daoist Rhyme.
This was the Sage Foundation Level, Heart of the Lotus Spiritual Mound!
Nine petals meant that it was a Ninth-Grade Supreme Sage Foundational Level.
Around the Lotus Heart, the remainder of the six types of Supreme Foundation Levels continuously emitted surges of divine light and Daoist Rhymes that resonated with the Lotus Heart.
Along with the formation of the nine-petalled Lotus Heart, the whole Firmament Star quivered. Huge amounts of purple haze arose from the horizons, spreading over tens of kilometers, and gushed toward Chu Kuangren’s direction!
Every elite who witnessed this was baffled.
“T-this is the purple haze that shrouds the horizon!!”
“D*mn, this is a strange phenomenon that will only occur when a Supreme Sage is born. I reckon there are only less than a handful of Supreme Sages throughout the ages!”
“Good heavens…”
Firmament Star was not the only one.
High above Firmament Star, a similarly huge amount of purple haze billowing in the Nine Heavens as well. The purple haze lingered around the horizon as its auspicious energy spread to its surroundings.
All the ancient beings of the Nine Heavens were shocked.
“Purple haze that shrouds the horizon. A Supreme Sage has been born?!”
“Who is it? Who has become a Supreme Sage in this day and age? Don’t tell me it’s some overpowered freak from some orthodoxy?!”
“How long has it been? In this Endless Aeons, I can’t believe another Supreme Sage has been born. This Era of Great Battles is getting more and more fascinating.”
The ancient beings of the Nine Heavens searched the whole Nine Heavens, but they failed to locate the source of this strange phenomenon of purple haze that shrouds the horizon.
“If it’s not here in the Nine Heavens, where can it be?”
“Can it be the Firmament Star? Come on. Even if someone has become a Supreme Sage in Firmament Star, its effects will not reach the Nine Heavens, no matter how powerful it is.”
“It must have been hidden by someone then.”
Meanwhile, down on Firmament Star.
Large amounts of purple haze had also arisen in the skies of the Underworld Demonic Realm. Since the start of the Endless Aeons, their skies had always been in a dark hue of red. Now that there was finally some change of color in their sky, the entire demonic realm was shocked!
“Purple haze that shrouds the horizon. A Supreme Sage has been born!”
“Our Underworld Demonic Realm has never produced a Supreme Sage even after so many years. Who would’ve expected one to emerge in this Era of Great Battles? Haha, god bless the demonic realm. Rejoice!!”
“Quick, go and look for this Supreme Sage…”
Like the Nine Heavens, everyone in the Underworld Demonic Realm scampered to look for the source of that purple haze, but their search did not yield any results.

One person becoming a Sage had managed to shock all three realms!
