Chapter 788 Lu Xueqi and Biyao
But when the lightning subsided, Su Han was still alive.
The power of chaos surged wildly within his body, absorbing and transforming the power of the heavenly lightning. Su Han felt that his chaotic power had undergone a qualitative change, becoming several times stronger than before.
The first chaotic tribulation has been overcome.
Su Han did not rest and continued cultivating. He had plenty of time in the Chaos Cave, so there was no need for him to rush.
After an unknown amount of time, the second chaotic tribulation arrived.
This time it was a tribulation of earthly fire. The flames surging from the ground were extremely hot, enough to melt immortal metal. Su Han was surrounded by flames and felt his body being burned away bit by bit.
He gritted his teeth and channeled his chaotic energy to resist. The chaotic energy formed a protective film within his body, keeping the flames out. But the temperature of the flames was too high, and the protective film was gradually thinning.
Su Han knew that sitting idly by and waiting for death was a dead end. He frantically circulated his chaotic power, absorbing the surrounding flames into his body. The flames entered his body, scorching his meridians and dantian; the pain was ten times more intense than that of the heavenly tribulation.
Su Han almost fainted, but he knew he couldn't faint, because once he did, he would never wake up again.
He bit his tongue, using the pain to keep himself awake. The power of chaos surged wildly within him, gradually devouring and transforming the flames.
After an unknown amount of time, the flames finally went out.
Su Han collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath. His body was burned beyond recognition, but the power of chaos was rapidly repairing his injuries.
The second chaotic tribulation has been overcome.
…………
While Su Han was diligently cultivating inside the Chaos Cave, undercurrents were already surging in the Immortal Realm.
The news of the power of chaos somehow leaked out, and all the major powers in the immortal realm knew that there was a cultivator from the mortal world who possessed the primordial power of a supreme treasure of chaos.
The Chaos Treasure is a treasure that even Immortal Emperors covet.
The Cangwu Immortal Sect, one of the five great immortal sects, was the first to become restless. The sect leader of the Cangwu Immortal Sect, the Cangwu Immortal Emperor, declared that the Lingxiao Immortal Sect should hand over Su Han, or else a war between the immortal sects would be launched.
Lingxiao Immortal Emperor naturally refused. He personally confronted Cangwu Immortal Emperor.
“Ling Xiao, that kid possesses the primordial power of a Chaos Treasure, which you cannot consume alone,” Immortal Emperor Cangwu said coldly. “Hand him over, and we can share the power of the Chaos Treasure.”
"The power of the Chaos Treasure has chosen Su Han; it's not something anyone can simply take," said the Lingxiao Immortal Emperor calmly. "Your attempt to forcibly seize it will only cause the power of chaos to dissipate."
“That’s better than you taking it all by yourself,” said the Immortal Emperor Cangwu.
"I'll say it again, Su Han is a disciple of the Lingxiao Immortal Sect, and no one can touch him." The Lingxiao Immortal Emperor's tone turned icy. "If you want to start a war between immortal sects, I'll oblige."
The two Immortal Emperors faced off for three days and three nights, neither making a move. A battle between Immortal Emperors would affect the entire Immortal Realm, and the other three Immortal Emperors would not stand idly by.
But the Cangwu Immortal Sect did not give up. If open methods didn't work, they would resort to covert ones.
The news that Su Han was cultivating in the Chaos Cave was discovered by spies. The Cangwu Immortal Emperor dispatched three Golden Immortal level experts to infiltrate Lingxiao Immortal City, attempting to forcibly take Su Han away.
However, Bai Yu had anticipated this. He had set up numerous restrictions around the Chaos Cave, and the three Golden Immortals were discovered by Bai Yu as soon as they approached it.
"Gentlemen, this is the territory of the Lingxiao Immortal Sect. Please leave," Bai Yu said coldly, blocking their way.
"Bai Yu, you're just a mere Celestial Immortal, how dare you block our way?" The leading Golden Immortal sneered. "If you know what's good for you, get out of our way, or don't blame us for being impolite."
Bai Yu didn't speak, but simply drew his immortal sword.
The three Golden Immortals exchanged a glance and attacked simultaneously. The power of a Golden Immortal's attack was earth-shattering. Yet Bai Yu, fighting three against one, showed no signs of being at a disadvantage. The battle lasted half an hour, with the three Golden Immortals being forced to retreat steadily by Bai Yu. The leading Golden Immortal's face was grim; he hadn't expected Bai Yu to be so powerful.
"Retreat!" Jin Xian said through gritted teeth.
The three turned and fled, and Bai Yu did not give chase.
"Senior Brother Bai Yu, are you alright?" Several disciples from the Lingxiao Immortal Sect ran over and asked.
Bai Yu shook his head, looking in the direction of the Chaos Cave, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes.
Su Han was cultivating inside the Chaos Cave, completely unaware of what was happening outside. He was undergoing the third Chaos Tribulation.
The third chaotic tribulation is the Gale Tribulation. The Gale is formless and intangible, yet it can cut through everything. Su Han's physical body was riddled with holes and dripping with blood in the Gale.
But he had grown accustomed to the pain. The first two tribulations had taught him how to persevere in dire straits. He gritted his teeth, channeled the power of chaos, and absorbed the gale into his body, transforming it little by little.
A fierce wind raged within him, slicing through his meridians. Su Han felt as if his body was being pierced by a thousand arrows, but he did not give up.
Hang in there, just a little longer.
Finally, the gale stopped.
Su Han collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath. His physical body was on the verge of collapse, but the power of chaos was rapidly repairing it.
The third chaotic tribulation has been overcome.
…………
Time flows 365 times faster inside the Chaos Cave than outside. Su Han cultivated inside for countless years, while only a little over a month passed outside.
When Su Han passed the sixth Chaos Tribulation, his cultivation had already broken through the Earth Immortal Realm and reached the Celestial Immortal Realm.
The Celestial Immortal Realm is considered upper-middle level in the Immortal Realm. But Su Han knew that wasn't enough. To completely eliminate the Lord of the Netherworld, he would need at least the strength of a Golden Immortal or even an Immortal Lord.
Su Han continued his cultivation.
The chaotic energy within the Chaos Cave was becoming increasingly thin, as most of it had been absorbed by Su Han. Su Han's chaotic power had undergone a tremendous transformation; if it was previously a small flame, it was now a raging sea of fire.
The seventh chaotic tribulation has arrived.
This time it's a tribulation of inner demons. This tribulation isn't aimed at the physical body, but at the soul. Su Han is trapped in an illusion where the Lord of the Underworld has awakened, the mortal realm is in turmoil, and Fairy Moonflower, True Man Xuanqing, and True Man Wanjian have all perished.
Su Han felt his heart breaking as he looked at the horrific scene in the illusion. He knew it was an illusion, but the realism of it made it almost impossible for him to distinguish between reality and fiction.
"Give up," a voice echoed in Su Han's mind. "You can't save them, and you can't save anyone."
“No,” Su Han said through gritted teeth, “I can save them, I will definitely save them.”
"You? A mere ant in the Celestial Immortal Realm?" the voice mocked. "Even the Celestial Emperor is wary of the Lord of the Netherworld. What makes you think you can defeat him?"
Su Han was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I possess the power of chaos."
"So what if you possess the power of chaos? You haven't even mastered one percent of the power of chaos. What makes you think you can deal with the Lord of the Underworld?"
Su Han took a deep breath and said, "I will master it. No matter the cost, I will master the complete power of chaos." (End of Chapter)
