Chapter 1017: Chapter 723: Void Refining Tribulation, Reversing the Five Elements_2

They had never expected that their master’s advance into the Void Refining Stage would stir up such a vast and overwhelming commotion.

If Qin Ming hadn’t deliberately suppressed his Spiritual Pressure, then on the main peak, not a single one of these people would have been able to remain standing...

"A Void Refining Great Power, so terrifying!"

The Heaven-Devouring Rat exclaimed in utter shock.

Baili Hui’s expression was complicated as he gazed at the figure atop the mountain. He himself had once tried to break through to Void Refining and knew full well how perilous it was, but he could not help feeling that the master before his eyes was vastly different from himself.

Perhaps, he might truly succeed in Crossing the Tribulation.

Of course, he was also secretly praying that Qin Ming must succeed; otherwise, he had already offered up his Lifebound Divine Soul to Qin Ming.

If Qin Ming failed to withstand it this time, he would have to follow along and depart this world together...

On the mountain peak.

After Qin Ming successfully stepped into the Void Refining Realm, logically it should have been time for him to face the tribulation.

But he was different from others.

By means of his Divine Thought Power, he opened the jade bottle that held the True Spirit Kunpeng Essence Blood, and a blob of star-blue True Spirit Essence Blood flew out.

Qin Ming’s Central Palace Demon Infant Primordial Spirit left his body; its pitch-black, ink-dark eyes stared at this Essence Blood of an Ancient True Spirit King, brimming with an intense, deep longing.

Then he opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing it down into his belly.

Boom!!

In an instant, a berserk torrent of Qi Blood exploded within Qin Ming’s body.

At this moment, if it were any other Body Refining Cultivator daring to swallow True Spirit Essence Blood raw, they would already have had their bodies burst apart and die.

But Qin Ming was different; the toughness of his fleshly body had long since reached an inconceivable level.

Especially last time, when he used the Secret Technique of the Giant Spirit Race to draw upon the Power of the Mountains from the Primordial Extreme Divine Mountain, further tempering his flesh.

Now, swallowing this Ancient True Spirit Essence Blood, he could still withstand it.

Qin Ming formed a strange hand seal with his hands.

He began circulating the True Primordial Yin Yang Technique "Demon-Monster True Power Technique", refining the Kunpeng True Blood and charging toward the Seventh Layer!

In that instant.

Celestial Demon Qi, True Demon Qi, Five Elements Spiritual Qi—three Primordial Qi streams derived from Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi—three aspects returning to the source.

Time trickled away bit by bit.

The seventh black Treasure Wheel behind Qin Ming gradually took shape.

The aura on the Demon Infant Primordial Spirit’s body was also wildly surging upward.

After finally reaching a peak, it stepped into the Tier Six Body Refining Realm.

At this very moment.

The scene he had previously experienced resurfaced in Qin Ming’s mind.

In that scene, Qin Ming had transformed into a ten-thousand-zhang Ancient Primordial True Spirit King, in the form of a Kunpeng.

The Kunpeng roamed the boundless void; through ceaseless devouring of all things, its body grew ever more colossal, and its Realm rose continuously along with it.

Until at last, the body size of the True Spirit Kunpeng had already grown comparable to an entire region of stars...

That vast body neither dying nor perishing, its defense terrifying; with a single crash, countless stars, universes, and primordial worlds collapsed...

Afterward.

Qin Ming’s vision turned hazy for a moment, and he quickly withdrew from that scene which had shaken him to his core.

At the instant his Body Refining stepped into the Void Refining Stage, a Kunpeng True Spirit phantom had also appeared behind him; the bloodline suppression of the Ancient Ten Great True Spirit Kings burst forth in full.

Outside, the Heaven-Devouring Rat watching, though it also bore a True Spirit Bloodline, still felt the bloodline suppression incomparably clearly.

Its legs suddenly went weak, and it dropped to its knees with extreme swiftness...

...

Thus far.

Qin Ming’s Dharma Form and fleshly body simultaneously broke through to the Void Refining Stage, and he felt a power within him stronger than ever before.

In particular, after his Demon Infant Primordial Spirit’s Body Refining broke through the Void Refining Realm, he had far greater confidence in successfully enduring the Void Refining Tribulation.

Above the Celestial Vault, gray tribulation clouds roiled.

In an instant, they brewed and condensed; in the center of the cloud layer, one could even faintly discern a whirlpool-like gray vertical pupil.

Along with a wave of Great Dao tribulation force, it locked firmly onto Qin Ming seated cross-legged atop the main peak, leaving no possibility of evasion.

The first Celestial Tribulation of the Void Refining Tribulation is the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi backlash tribulation.

If one cannot pass even this first gate, in the lighter case one’s cultivation regresses; in the heavier case, one falls on the spot.

After the Primordial Spirit Voidification of the Void Refining Stage, a cultivator establishes an initial harmony between heaven and man, and their degree of control and mastery over Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi undergoes a qualitative leap.

Unlike the Divinity Transformation Stage, which is still in a phase of quantitative accumulation; even if one initially grasps Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, it must still be controlled through Casting.

But upon reaching the Void Refining Stage, one can act without casting any Spell, directly mobilizing Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi to unleash all sorts of Great Divine Techniques.

Whether in efficiency or in quality, it is utterly incomparable.

Therefore, the first Celestial Tribulation must test one’s ability to withstand the tribulation of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

Rumble—rumble—rumble!

Yet in the next instant.

The gray tribulation clouds that should have descended as a Primordial Qi Tribulation suddenly rolled, and abruptly erupted with a sky-filling blaze of five-colored radiance.

Accompanied by a breath of annihilation, it fell straight down toward Qin Ming.

"Because I cultivated the True Primordial Yin Yang Technique, the Five Elements Celestial Punishment has appeared!!"

Qin Ming’s eyelids twitched violently; he hadn’t expected to receive such a ’special’ treatment.

Compared to an ordinary Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi tribulation, a heavenly punishment is far more ferocious, carrying a destructive will of the Great Dao that erases from heaven and earth all things that should not exist.

In an instant.

Heaven and earth changed color, the Five Elements Spiritual Qi began to rampage and fall into chaos, trembling violently like boiling water.

Directly above Little Turtle Peak, a destructive Spiritual Qi tide suddenly formed.

At this moment, the Celestial Vault was no longer a mass of oppressive dark clouds, but instead became five colors interwoven, ceaselessly coiling and revolving, like a terrifying vortex on the verge of collapse.

It was as if a five-colored gigantic eye suddenly opened in the Nine Heavens, fixing upon Qin Ming, who was crossing the tribulation atop the mountain.

"The Five Elements Tribulation Eye! What kind of sin did this brat commit! He actually drew down a heavenly punishment tribulation, hahahah!"

"He’s dead for sure this time! Looks like I won’t even need to make a move myself."

Divine Monarch Lingtian, who was trapped in place by the Trapping Array, saw the five-colored tribulation eye in the firmament and was first filled with horror.

Then, upon realizing that the heavenly punishment’s target was Qin Ming, he immediately broke into schadenfreude-laden wild laughter.

As his words fell.

The Five Elements Celestial Punishment turned into tangible tribulation force and all descended upon Qin Ming.

At once, the sounds of sharp metal clashing, mountain wood snapping, heaven-scorching and sea-boiling flames, and raging waves roaring echoed without end.

The mountaintop was instantly submerged beneath all sorts of materialized attacks formed from the Power of the Five Elements.

Qin Ming’s expression was as calm as an ancient well; facing such a terrifying Five Elements Celestial Punishment, he showed not a trace of fear.

He was like an ancient Jianmu tree towering between heaven and earth, utterly unmoving.

In the next moment.

He casually raised a hand, fingers splayed, and grasped at the void!

"Heaven and earth without limit! Qiankun Borrowing Technique!"

This was a Void Refining Divine Technique he gained after successfully cultivating the True Primordial Yin Yang Technique.

Boom!!

Behind Qin Ming, a divine radiance composed of Yin Yang Qi abruptly appeared, twisting into a gigantic annihilating black hole.

In the blink of an eye, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi within several thousand li was sucked empty, eerily vanishing into thin air...

The Five Elements Celestial Punishment formed from metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, just as it was about to fall upon Qin Ming, completely turned into bubbles and scattered apart...

Immediately after.

A second wave of the Five Elements Celestial Punishment descended once more.

This time, five-colored divine light wove into Chains of Laws, locking toward Qin Ming from all directions.

"Yin Yang Harmony! Reverse the Five Elements!"

The Primordial Spirit seated upon Qin Ming’s Purple Mansion Spirit Platform pinched out a Profound Mysterious Seal.

In an instant, the nearby Power of the Five Elements began to fall into disorder.

Water restraining fire became fire burning water; metal restraining wood became wood snapping metal; wood restraining earth turned into earth overcoming wood...

Under the influence of this Five Elements Disorder, the chains of the Five Elements Celestial Punishment snapped apart one after another before they could even touch Qin Ming...

Not long after, with this repeated again and again.

After five waves of heavenly punishment tribulation, Qin Ming relied solely on the Void Refining Divine Technique born from his True Primordial Yin Yang Technique to forcibly withstand all the tribulation force.

He had gathered five kinds of Innate extreme treasures to balance the Power of the Five Elements; once this method was cultivated, one could freely manipulate the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

The myriad advantages of Qin Ming’s Five Elements Spirit Root fully manifested in this moment.

Back when he purchased this Cultivation Technique from the Wood Crystal Race, he had heard the Shopkeeper’s introduction: in the Spirit Realm, virtually no one had ever successfully cultivated this method.

Tens of thousands of years ago, only one Great Power who possessed a Five Elements Dao Body had ever cultivated it to success.

Now, Qin Ming should count as the second...

Whether it was the Five Elements Spirit Root, the five kinds of Innate extreme treasures, or cultivating the five prerequisite Attribute Cultivation Methods to Great Success—

Each and every one of these required immense fortune to fall upon one’s head.

...

Hiss~

Divine Monarch Lingtian stared upward, dumbfounded.

He simply could not believe that Qin Ming had actually relied purely on his own Divine Technique methods, without even bringing out an Artifact, and with casual movements had easily endured the tribulation force emitted by the Five Elements Tribulation Eye.

A dreadful sense that a great calamity was about to befall him—

Rose spontaneously in his heart...
