In the quiet tunnel, the carvings on the wall no longer showed any changes. Everything was silent.
The only sound was probably the low, dreamy murmur. In this uninhabited world, they communicated with each other to their heart's content. Their cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds.
They were all top-notch talents comparable to Emperor Rain, or even superior to him. Coupled with the Plain Maiden's Way of Balancing Yin and Yang, as well as the Primordial Crystals obtained from the Treasure Space, it was not surprising that they had made such great progress.
Especially after the 80% of Divine Blood in Lingxi's body was awakened, the power of the Plain Girl Seal was many times stronger. The scene of entanglement with her could be said to be earth-shattering. A large amount of Nirvana Spiritual Qi was swallowed and cleansed their bodies.
In the charming clouds and mist, the majestic body of the Divine Dragon and the delicate but tough snow-white body were faintly discernible. It was so gentle that it made people feel numb.
Time passed gradually during the long cultivation.
In the blink of an eye, thanks to the terrifying effects of the Pure Goddess' blood and the unprecedented double Ancestral Dragon Body, Long Chen, who had become her husband, the timing, the location, and the people, immediately displayed a heaven-defying effect. Ling Xi's power skyrocketed, and in just a short month, she broke through the Big Dipper Divine Curse, just like Long Chen.
The strength of her Tiangang God Mantra was only one-fifth of Long Chen's. In the blink of an eye, even Lingxi reached the Eighth Nirvana Tribulation Realm. With her terrifying Boiling Divine Blood, the Plain Girl Seal, the inheritance of the Ethereal Immortal Sect, and the Eight Heavenly Swords, few people under the Reincarnation Tribulation Realm could be her match.
During this process, with the help of the Primordial Crystals, they didn't have to worry about the Nirvana Spiritual Qi at all. Long Chen's cultivation also soared, and he was getting closer and closer to the Gate of Life and Death.
Of course, as the two of them continued to cultivate, one month passed, two months passed, and Ling Xi also began to approach the level of the Gate of Life and Death, reaching the late stage of the eighth level of the Nirvana Tribulation Realm. Back then, Su Yuyao's realm was only slightly inferior to Long Chen, who was about to break through.
At this rate, with the help of Long Chen and the Primordial Crystal, she would probably be able to break through the Gate of Life and Death within a year.
Three months later, Long Chen welcomed the Gate of Life and Death.
In the Gate of Life and Death, if it wasn't death, then it would be life. He was the Ancestral Dragon, and every Nirvana Tribulation he went through was much more terrifying than others.
Long Chen did not dare to be careless when the Gate of Life and Death descended this time, because no matter what, the Gate of Life and Death was the strongest of the nine Nirvana Tribulations.
In order to face the Gate of Life and Death, Long Chen had already made preparations. This year would definitely be the time for him to expand his strength. The transformation of the God Slaying Sword had given him endless combat power. If he were to cross the Gate of Life and Death, he would possess the strength of the Nine Tiers of Nirvana Tribulation Realm. Although he was only in the Six Tiers of Nirvana Tribulation Realm, in terms of combat power, he would definitely be very terrifying. He might be able to kill a Rebirth Realm martial artist in one move, which was the level of the Wind Dragon Stream Master.
Lingxi hid far away. She wasn't worried at all. She clasped her hands together, full of confidence in Long Chen.
Long Chen sat cross-legged on the ground, waiting for the Nirvana Tribulation to descend.
At that moment, everything seemed to be silent. Long Chen was immersed in a strange world. He felt the scenery around him changing rapidly. He seemed to be far away from other worlds and was in a chaotic state. At this moment, he opened his eyes and saw a giant gate in front of him.
The gate covered the sky and the sun, and the top couldn't be seen.
This gate was burning with blood-yellow flames. However, it wasn't real flames, but the fire of Nirvana Rebirth. A vast pressure descended, and Long Chen stood in front of the Gate of Life and Death like an ant.
The vast Gate of Life and Death was filled with this blood-yellow flame. It burned fiercely, bringing with it an extreme destructive power. At this moment, a loud voice came from the endless sky.
"Once you enter the Gate of Life and Death, you don't care about life and death. Once you enter the cycle of reincarnation, you will never be able to rise again."
These loud and clear voices were like iron hammers smashing into Long Chen's head, causing him to have a splitting headache. When he raised his head again, the Gate of Life and Death was like a monster that covered the sky. It was currently opening its huge mouth, waiting for him. This was a terrifying monster.
Its name was Reincarnation …
The Gate of Life and Death, or rather, the Gate of Reincarnation. At this stage, it was already the last stage of Nirvana Rebirth, in preparation for the upcoming Rebirth Tribulations.
However, the Nirvana Flame was too terrifying. If one's strength wasn't enough, he would be burned to ashes after entering the Gate of Life and Death.
"Everyone has entered the cycle of reincarnation, what do I have to fear?"
At this moment, Long Chen let out a roar that shook the heavens and earth. He suddenly transformed into a giant blood-colored divine dragon, and blood-colored mist filled the air. The sky was filled with killing intent. With his huge divine dragon body, he swallowed the clouds and breathed out mist. With a majestic aura, he charged towards the Gate of Life and Death. On his body, the Spirit Refinement Flame burned, colliding with the last Nirvana Rebirth Flame, instantly causing a terrifying explosion.
Long Chen realized that there was a huge resistance on his body, preventing him from moving forward. Even the Nirvana Rebirth Flame had entered his divine dragon body, starting to burn his dragon scales, dragon claws, dragon flesh and dragon bones. Under this kind of burning, he was definitely facing the danger of death. The physical body that he was so proud of was breaking apart inch by inch. He was enduring terrifying pain, and this was undoubtedly a huge test for him.
"No matter how difficult Nirvana is, no matter how bitter the cycle of reincarnation is, how can it trap me, the son of the Ancestral Dragon?"
At this moment, Long Chen clenched his teeth and let out the craziest and most terrifying roar. His willpower had always been the best in the world. In the face of such a degree of destruction, everyone would lay down their arms and surrender, but he wouldn't. He had too many beliefs in his heart. He wanted to protect the two women, and he wanted to clear the name of his father who gave him everything.
There was too much unwillingness in his heart, and that unwillingness came from his bloodline.
How can the Heavenly Dao destroy me?
Boom.
The will of the Ancestral Dragon, even the Heavenly Dao couldn't defeat it.
The flesh and bones that were destroyed by the Nirvana Rebirth Flame were reborn in the Gate of Life and Death. This was the last Nirvana Rebirth. At the same time of rebirth, there was a huge change in his strength. An Ancestral Dragon was gradually growing and awakening.
Boom boom boom.
The Nirvana Flame of the Gate of Life and Death had completely surrounded Long Chen. The terrifying power was still preventing him from moving forward. However, all of this couldn't defeat a person with faith. He ignored pain and pressure. There was only one thought in his blood red eyes, and that was to move forward, move forward, move forward.
Only charging forward.
Bang bang bang.
Under his crazy charging force, that power couldn't stop him at all and started to collapse. His aura grew stronger and stronger. The Gate of Life and Death also started to collapse, turning into Nirvana Force that filled the sky for him to absorb, becoming the foundation of his strength.
When all the power was defeated by Long Chen, the Fire of Nirvana Rebirth finally yielded, allowing him, who was riddled with holes, to be reborn once again. The endless power of Nirvana gave him a new round of terrifying growth.
He was getting stronger, infinitely stronger.
Finally, he had crossed the boundary of the Gate of Life and Death.
In Lingxi's eyes, the man who was enveloped by the blood-yellow flames had finally engulfed the flames. His entire body was enveloped in a blood-red light. In the light, there were billions of divine dragons, roaring around him. They were unyielding, and their fighting spirit was high.
This was a new hope.
The entire world was collapsing rapidly. In the end, it gathered in Long Chen's body. His power swirled in his body, and the final form of Nirvana Force was incomparably solid. Although Long Chen's physical body wasn't big, the power in his body was like the sea, surging endlessly. The endless power grew exponentially, and finally, it was under his complete control.
"Success …"
His eyes shone with endless fighting spirit.
Even the Gate of Life and Death couldn't do anything to him.
The tunnel gradually regained its silence.
Long Chen eased the energy in his body and raised his head to look. The girl who was breathtakingly beautiful even in the darkness was staring at him without blinking. Her eyes were filled with deep concern. This was the most beautiful gaze Long Chen had ever seen. It was filled with expectation and confidence, as well as gentle worry.
He flashed and hugged Lingxi in his arms. He whispered in her ear, "What are you worried about? It's only at this level. How could it be difficult for me?"
Lingxi pinched his nose. "You only know how to boast. Hmph, what are you going to do next?"
After passing through the Gate of Life and Death, it would be a little difficult to reach the next realm in a short period of time. When he reached the Gate of Life and Death, Long Chen had another doubt in his heart. What was his next realm?
When an ordinary person reached the Gate of Life and Death, they would already be in the Ninth Stage of Nirvana Tribulation Realm, and the next realm would be the Reincarnation Tribulation Realm.
But Long Chen wondered if his next realm would be the Reincarnation Tribulation Realm.
Probably not.
Probably only one person could answer this question, Su Muchen, who was already in the Ninth Stage of Nirvana Tribulation Realm. He was a Divine Dragon, but he had yet to reach the Reincarnation Tribulation Realm. That meant that Long Chen's next realm wouldn't be the Reincarnation Tribulation Realm.
What would it be?
An even more terrifying Nirvana Tribulation.
Thus, he said, "We've already been here for three months. Let's go out and take a look. I'll also ask Su Muchen a question. If you have time, you can ponder about the Ethereal Immortal Sect, while I'll study the Slaughter Dao and Time Dao."
"Okay." Lingxi nodded her head obediently.
After three months, the two of them came out of the tunnel for the first time. The nine-colored mist was still lingering outside. No one dared to pass through the Battlefield of the Gods. They followed the path back to the bluestone plaza where the Divine Spiritual Rain had fallen. The disciples were still welcoming the Divine Spiritual Rain, but some of them had changed.
Most of them didn't move.
A small portion of them were undergoing their tribulations.
There were also a few who had entered a mysterious state. Their eyes were closed, and their expressions were changing rapidly. Their bodies were covered in a mysterious color. That was the power of Reincarnation.
They were undergoing their Reincarnation Tribulations.
