For the next period of time, Du Xuan walked among the people, wielding a long sword.
He shoulders the mission of the chosen one, and completes his own calamity of slaughter.
Despite the twists and turns and the frequent bloodshed, he was ultimately able to return safely thanks to his destiny and the blessing of Hu Le's luck.
During his journey to the mortal realm, countless demons and immortal cultivators fell to his sword.
On this day, Hu Le sat atop the divine mountain beyond the heavens, immersing himself in comprehending the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos.
While he was immersed in the path of cultivation, he suddenly heard Du Xuan come to report and request an audience.
He immediately responded, indicating that he would allow Du Xuan to enter.
Shortly afterward, Du Xuan entered the hall and respectfully bowed.
Hu Le carefully examined Du Xuan and found that he had grown a lot after this experience of going down the mountain.
A hint of ruthlessness and determination appeared between his brows, and his cultivation level also improved significantly.
Now, he is only one step away from the Celestial Immortal realm.
Hu Le didn't say much, but simply asked Du Xuan about his experience on this trip. Then he taught him the way to become an immortal and sent him off to cultivate.
Time flies, and several years have passed.
On this day, a deafening roar suddenly resounded above the Celestial Mountain, like a thunderclap.
Hu Le immediately snapped out of his reverie and looked up at the sky. He saw dark clouds covering the sky, with lightning flashing like snakes moving through the clouds.
An aura of destruction quietly spread, enveloping the entire Celestial Mountain.
Upon seeing this, Hu Le immediately understood that Du Xuan's immortal tribulation was approaching.
If he can successfully overcome this calamity, he will be able to achieve the status of a celestial being and enjoy the blessing of immortality.
With a deafening roar, thunder exploded and lightning flashed.
Countless bolts of lightning, accompanied by clusters of blazing fireballs, descended from the sky, striking straight towards the back mountain.
However, just as the thunderous fireball was about to land, a dazzling sword light suddenly shot up from the mountain, meeting the lightning head-on.
In an instant, the sword light, like a lithe dragon, moved unpredictably and nimbly in the air, continuously extinguishing the lightning and fireballs one by one.
However, as the tribulation gradually reached its climax, the falling lightning became more and more dense and powerful, as if the sky had solidified into a blazing sea of fire.
Du Xuan was already struggling with his flying sword alone.
Many of the lightning bolts finally broke through the barrier of the sword light and shot towards the mountain.
However, before it actually landed in the mountain, a burst of seven-colored light shot into the sky, directly engulfing the lightning and fire, and annihilating them with a little grinding.
Hu Le stood outside the hall and watched this scene. He immediately understood that Du Xuan had already made preparations and set up a large formation in the back mountain.
As the grand formation and flying swords worked together, they continuously fought against the thunder and fire falling from the sky.
"Boom boom boom!"
A series of deafening roars echoed throughout the heavens and earth. Countless bolts of lightning intertwined, forming a massive electric grid that enveloped the entire back mountain.
The great formation, like a giant beast, opened its mouth and devoured the lightning and fire.
"puff!"
After an unknown amount of time, the thunder and fire in the sky showed no signs of abating. Suddenly, Du Xuan spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning deathly pale.
His body was trembling slightly, clearly indicating that he had reached his limit.
But he still gritted his teeth and persevered, his flying sword flashing with dazzling light as he continuously blocked the attacks of the lightning tribulation.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Just then, a sharp sword aura shot from the horizon, its target being Du Xuan.
This sword energy was extremely fast and carried boundless power, inspiring fear in those who saw it.
"Not good! Someone is attacking!" Du Xuan's expression changed, and he quickly summoned a green lotus to block the sword energy in front of him.
Boom!
As the sword light continued to strike, the blue lotus trembled violently, its radiance quickly dimmed, and the sword energy vanished.
Du Xuan first swallowed a golden pill, then solemnly controlled his flying sword to resist the lightning tribulation, while also paying attention to the surrounding movements.
Hu Le, watching from a distance, saw someone dare to launch a sneak attack on Du Xuan while he was undergoing his tribulation, but he did not intervene.
This is the human tribulation within Du Xuan's tribulation, which Du Xuan must face himself. If someone intervenes, it will not be good for Du Xuan.
Just then, Du Xuan keenly sensed the attacker's location.
"Get out here!"
He roared and raised his hand, pushing it forcefully into the distant void. A bolt of lightning shot out from his palm and exploded in the air.
The space trembled violently, rippling outwards.
Immediately afterwards, a faint, watery sword light quietly appeared, then vanished into the depths of the void in the blink of an eye.
"This is the Taiyi Formless Sword! It's actually a remnant of the Taiyi Sword Sect!" Du Xuan recognized the origin of the sword light at a glance and immediately guessed the identity of the person who came.
The Taiyi Sword Sect is one of the ten most famous righteous immortal sects in this world.
Back when he was still alive, due to some conflicts, he led a group of like-minded people to attack the Taiyi Sword Sect's mountain gate, killing almost everyone in the sect.
It can be said that the hatred between them runs very deep.
Now, he is not surprised at all that the last surviving members of the Taiyi Sword Sect are causing trouble while he is undergoing his tribulation, hoping to take the opportunity to seek revenge.
The Taiyi Formless Sword is a sword-forging method passed down through the Taiyi Sword Sect. It can transform its form in the void and move between the tangible and the intangible.
Just as Du Xuan sensed a glimmer of sword light, the opponent once again silently merged into nothingness.
The next moment, Du Xuan activated the flying sword in the sky. With a flash of sword light, he met the thunder and fire that were falling from the sky and kept provoking it.
Instantly, countless bolts of lightning surged toward the spot where the invisible sword had vanished.
Rumble!
As the thunder and flames struck, the void distorted slightly, as if being squeezed by an invisible force, presenting a twisted scene.
Just then, a figure flashed out from the void; it was the owner of the Taiyi Formless Sword.
Surprisingly, this mysterious master turned out to be a young boy.
He unleashed the sword light beneath him, which swept towards the incoming lightning and fire like a bolt of lightning, instantly annihilating the sky full of lightning and fire without a trace.
"Du Xuan! You'd better die!" The young man's gaze shifted, filled with endless hatred and anger, as he stared intently at Du Xuan.
It turns out that he was none other than one of the true disciples of the Taiyi Sword Sect.
Back then, when the Immortal Sect was destroyed, he happened to be traveling and luckily escaped the calamity.
However, his teacher and many close fellow disciples all tragically perished at the hands of Du Xuan and his associates.
At this moment, in order to avenge this blood feud, he came to Du Xuan's door and launched this fatal attack while Du Xuan was undergoing tribulation.
Although he came here for revenge, it seems to have aligned with the will of Heaven, evolving into a tribulation for Du Xuan...
