2062 Absorbing the Primordial Tribulation, Pan Gu Avatar, Strength Great Dao
Inside the Imperial Palace, Chu Kuangren stepped out and looked up at the sky.
He had energy swirling around him, and the aura he released shocked many of the elites in the Immortal World.
He did not release any aura about his cultivation but only the natural energy from his breathing. Yet, it was enough to shock the others.
Yang Mei and Li Jun immediately thought of something.
“Is this… the Ultimate Physical Body?”
Many years ago, Li Jun heard from Hong Jun about the concept of the Ultimate Physical Body, meaning one would ascend to the Primordial Realm with just the physical body.
However, it was extremely difficult. Not even Hong Jun could do it.
Throughout the entire history of the Pan Gu Universe, only one person succeeded in achieving it — Pan Gu himself!
Yang Mei had also heard of the concept because when there was still Chaos, he fought Pan Gu before and saw it with his own eyes.
Pan Gu’s power left a strong impression on him.
He knew better than anyone what it meant to have the Ultimate Physical Body.
He thought Pan Gu would be the one and only person to achieve that, but now, Chu Kuangren was trying to achieve the same thing.
“The Ultimate Physical Body? Chu Kuangren, you really amaze me,” Yang Mei muttered.
He knew it must be because of Pan Gu’s Heart.
However, it was impossible to achieve the Ultimate Physical Body with Pan Gu’s Heart alone, so the key would still be Chu Kuangren himself.
Back at the Imperial Palace, the Primordial Tribulation rumbled above the Imperial Palace, and a bolt of lightning struck. The power it contained could kill most Embodiers.
However, Chu Kuangren was unfazed, allowing the bolt of lightning to strike his body.
“Bang!”
Seeing the lightning striking his body shocked everyone who witnessed the scene.
Taking the Lightning Tribulation with one’s physical body was definitely suicidal.
The explosive energy blast shattered mountains and dispersed clouds for tens of thousands of kilometers.
Many cultivators were shocked, but some Embodiers frowned.
The bolt of lightning just now contained enough explosive power to destroy mountains and rivers across millions of kilometers, and they would not find that surprising.
However, it only dispersed the clouds.
The Primordial Tribulation should not be that weak.
“Look!”
Someone screamed.
Countless arcs of lightning circulated Chu Kuangren’s body. It was from that bolt of Lightning Tribulation, and they were zapping every inch of his body, entering his pores.
Despite that, Chu Kuangren was unscathed! It was like he was absorbing the electricity!
“Is he absorbing the Primordial Tribulation’s power? What in the hell?”
The realization shocked everyone again.
Chu Kuangren’s ascension was much more astonishing and outrageous than Armament Destruction’s.
As though it was angered by Chu Kuangren’s arrogant action, the Primordial Tribulation charged for a stronger attack.
“Bring it on.”
Chu Kuangren chuckled. The key to the Nine Primordial Tribulations Physique was to go through nine Primordial Tribulations, and each must be stronger than the previous.
He had to absorb all the Primordial Tribulation to strengthen his body.
Moreover, that was only the first Primordial Tribulation. If he found it challenging at that point, he would suffer even more for the upcoming tribulations.
“Bang!”
A stronger bolt of lightning struck.
Still, Chu Kuangren remained firm as he allowed the bolt of lightning to hit him again.
The Nine Primordial Tribulations Physique was activated, and he absorbed the second bolt of lightning.
“Roar!”
Then, the terrifying lightning dragon emerged from the dark clouds and lunged toward Chu Kuangren.
It was so powerful that it rivaled that of a Primordial’s attack.
That electrifying attack pushed Chu Kuangren back a few steps.
However, his body was still covered with countless arcs of electricity before they were fully absorbed.
He was one step closer to achieving the Ultimate Physical Body.
“His physical body is terrifying!”
Everyone was shocked.
Even the ancient beings who excelled at close combat and physical strength, like the Dragon Patriarch and the Jiangshi King, Jiang Chen, shuddered in shock when they saw Chu Kuangren’s monstrous achievement.
They had a feeling that if they took a punch from Chu Kuangren, they might explode on the spot.
As the Primordial Tribulation’s power grew stronger, it started to change its way of attack.
Other than the lightning tribulation, it attacked with wind tribulation and fire tribulation.
The endless wind felt like it could blow everything away.
The scorching flame felt like it burned the sky to cinders.
It was much stronger than Armament Destruction’s Primordial Tribulation.
Chu Kuangren pursed his lips before opening his mouth to suck in the endless wind and the scorching flame like a beast with a massive mouth.
The wind and fire strengthened his organs, bones, and tendons.
As the Primordial Tribulation got stronger, Chu Kuangren’s skin glimmered like a diamond. Every inch of his flesh contained endless energy, and each bone was carved with mystical runes. Even the blood that flowed in his veins felt like a torrential river that contained Immortal Marrow.
Gradually, the improvement started to slow down. Chu Kuangren knew he had hit the limit with the first Primordial Tribulation. Hence, he stood still and allowed the dark clouds to attack him with all kinds of attacks, which could not inflict even a dent on his body.
“It seems like this is the limit of the first Primordial Tribulation,” Chu Kuangren thought to himself.
He then looked at the dark clouds and muttered, “In that case, why don’t you have a taste of my newly acquired divine ability?”
“Bang!”
Terrifying vitality qi energy containing Daoist law gushed up into the sky.
In an instant, it transformed into a massive projection of an avatar.
The avatar felt like it had been around for as long as time itself. It contained the vital energy of Chaos, and the bronze body had a strong metallic luster. The muscles were bulging like mountains as if it was the embodiment of strength.
Yang Mei squealed in shock when he saw the avatar.
“T-That’s Pan Gu!”
Indeed it was! It was the Pan Gu Avatar!
Pan Gu’s Heart did not only contain strong vitality qi energy, but it also contained Pan Gu’s inheritance.
After refining the heart, Chu Kuangren could summon the avatar at will and use Pan Gu’s divine abilities.
Pan Gu’s reappearance shocked all who lived in that universe. An instinctive urge in everyone made them kneel down and worship it.
Pan Gu started the universe, and his body transformed into all things and nourished all life. To the cultivators of the Pan Gu Universe, Pan Gu was the creation god, the father of all!
“Universe Genesis!”
Chu Kuangren raised his hand, and the Pan Gu Avatar followed. Chaos vital energy erupted from its hand and transformed into a massive axe.
It was the axe that he used to start the universe.
Even though it was not the real Chaos Supreme Treasure, the Genesis Axe, it was still a manifestation of Pan Gu Avatar, and its power was astonishing.
Pan Gu Avatar raised the Genesis Axe high in the sky and slammed it at the Primordial Tribulation.
Endless divine light and Daoist laws were unleashed.
The axe strike did not contain any other energy aura; it was the purest form of Strength Great Dao.
The Strength Great Dao was the Dao that Pan Gu cultivated. There was no fancy transformation of technique, only the purest form of power!
“Kaboom!”
When the axe hit, the realm quaked, and the void had a massive crack that spanned over a million kilometers.
Even the walls of the Deep Void were torn.
Having been chopped in half, the Primordial Tribulation slowly dissipated, leaving only the figure in white and the avatar in sight.
They stood firm and proud in the realm, silencing all life in existence with their jaw-dropping achievement.
