President Zhi and the other Envoys appeared one by one in outer space. Liu Yefei and the others also appeared far away from Ah Da, but most of them were Enlighters.
Watching others transcend their Origin Tribulation was very beneficial to their future.
Lu Yin also appeared in outer space, his expression solemn as he asked in a low voice, "Mister Liu Ye, in your opinion, can Ah 'Da survive this Origin Tribulation?"
Mr. Liu Ye shook his head. "It's hard to say. It depends on what form the Origin Tribulation takes. Everyone's Origin Tribulation is different."
"The origin tribulation's power should be determined based on the amount of astral sources that the cultivator has attracted," Lu Yin said.
Mr. Liu Ye nodded. "Breaking through to become an Emissary requires the formation of an astral cyclone, which is determined by the amount of star energy in a person's body. The more star energy one has, the more astral sources one needs to form an astral cyclone, and it cannot be hidden. Ah Da doesn't have much star energy, so as long as he's prepared well, he should have a 20% chance of breaking through."
"Only 20%?" Lu Yin was astonished.
Big Sister Feihua said unhappily, "Do you think transcending the origin tribulation is a joke?
Out of ten Initiates, it's already pretty good to have one Emissary. If he's undergoing his Origin Tribulation here, he's either fighting someone and couldn't suppress his Origin Tribulation and had to break through, or he was careless. Otherwise, there's no way he would be undergoing his Origin Tribulation here. Twenty percent is already very high.
"What if there are external objects?" Lu Yin asked in a low voice.
Mister Liu Ye replied, "With an external object, as long as it doesn't involve an Astral Source, it won't affect the Origin Tribulation. However, the Origin Tribulation is mysterious. External objects that you use all year round won't affect you, but if you borrow an external object from someone else, it'll be easily detected. Once detected, its power will increase dramatically, and you'll have no hope of surviving."
"The origin tribulation can detect whether or not an external object is borrowed?" Lu Yin was horrified. Wasn't this the same as life?
No, it was more intelligent than life itself. At the very least, when he took out an external object, no one would know if it was borrowed or not.
Big Sister Feihua rolled her eyes. "If it's that easy to fool an origin tribulation cultivator, then Envoys would have already flown all over the place. Everything else aside, any Enlighter realm Envoys who break through to the Enlighter realm will be able to stay at Aurora Fort for as long as they stay there."
Lu Yin pursed his lips, as Ah Da's words made sense. If that was the case, then Ah Da's departure from the Aurora Fort wasn't because he was afraid that his tribulation would sense the astral source within the fort. Instead, he was afraid that an external object like the Aurora Fort would be discovered.
"There's one more thing. The power of the Origin Tribulation mostly affects the Astral Origin Cyclone. External objects can't resist it," Liu Ye said.
Not far away, Zhi Zong sighed, "The Origin Tribulation is really like a life of its own. It's even more intelligent than life itself. It's like a law that no one can reverse. One can only endure it. Only by becoming stronger can one deal with the Origin Tribulation."
Everyone looked at Ada, looking at his solemn expression. At this moment, the vortex above his head was getting bigger and bigger. Thunder rumbled, and the sharp light tore the space apart, tearing many cracks.
"It's the saber. His Origin Tribulation is related to the saber," said an emissary from the Aurora Corporation.
"He should also be a master of the saber," Mr. Liu Ye said.
In the next moment, there was an intense explosion that sounded like two blades clashing against each other. Sparks appeared in the void and lit up the entire universe. Then, two long blades materialized and slashed at Ada. The first blade was like a dragon, and its roar shook the entire universe. The second blade kept flickering and was accompanied by a peculiar power.
It wasn't just a saber, but also a battle technique.
Lu Yin's eyes filled with star energy as he looked at the rune lines of the two blades. They were about the same as Ada's. No, the two blades were descending at the same time, which meant that Ada would have to endure two attacks that were equivalent to his own power. This was the Origin Tribulation.
Ada retrieved a greyish white blade from his cosmic ring and slashed upwards, clashing with the first blade.
The first blade was like a dragon as it ruthlessly pressed down. Ada growled, and at the same time, the second blade descended and slashed at his chest. His clothes were stained with blood, as he couldn't defend against two attacks at the same time.
The Origin Tribulation wasn't a test; it was truly meant to destroy the Nirvana Tribulation. To the Astral Source Universe, the Nirvana Tribulation was an enemy.
Ada pushed away the first saber, trying to cut the second saber in half. However, there was a strange power on the second saber that blocked Ada's blade.
The crowd sighed, as the chances of success were very low.
At that moment, a third blade appeared above Ada's head.
Feihua shook her head, "He's dead."
Zhi Zong was just as helpless, "This is the Origin Tribulation."
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. They really weren't giving him a chance to survive.
Ada looked up and saw the third blade taking shape. There was a sudden clap of thunder in his ears. He took out his power vessel and other external items, but they were all useless. These items weren't strong enough to withstand the Origin Tribulation.
When he saw the first blade slash down again, Ada's eyes grew crazed. At that moment, he heard a sound, and his blade suddenly changed direction and slashed at a certain spot on the second blade. The second blade strangely changed direction and blocked the first blade's attack. Ada grew excited and attacked again. His continuous attacks were so fast that the surrounding Enlighters couldn't even see them clearly.
These attacks didn't hit the same spot, and each time, the direction and position of the blade changed. The strange power was also forcefully changed, and each time, it blocked the first blade's attack.
Zhi Zong and the others were shocked. How had this person changed?
Liu Yefeihua and Liu Yefeihua looked at each other, then turned to Ada in shock, "Every time he attacks, he hits the most appropriate spot. It's like the second Origin Tribulation Blade is blocking the first one.
With his understanding of the blade, he shouldn't be able to do this. "
Not too far away, Lu Yin's eyes grew solemn as he transmitted a message to Ada.
He was the one helping Ada. Even if the Origin Tribulation could sense external items being borrowed, it couldn't possibly sense that someone was transmitting a message to help. That would be too ridiculous.
Whether or not an external item was borrowed could be determined by its aura, but there was no way to check if someone was using a voice transmission. Perhaps this was the Origin Tribulation's lifeline.
If this Origin Tribulation wasn't a blade but something else, then Lu Yin wouldn't have been able to help Ada. However, since it was a blade and a weapon, then he had the ability to do so. He hadn't learned how to use a sickle to break through ten thousand weapons for nothing.
He had been receiving the Sword Stele's inheritance for a longer time than Bai Xianer.
Finally, there was a soft sound as the second blade shattered. Ada growled and slashed at the first blade, shattering it as well.
He panted heavily as blood flowed down his chest and onto his hand. He looked up as the third blade took shape and slashed down.
There was no battle technique involved; it was simply aimed at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin's pupils shrank. This wasn't good; the rune lines far exceeded the previous two blades. He looked at Ada, as he couldn't help with this attack.
This attack's power wasn't something that could be broken by techniques.
It was over.
President Zhi and the others shook their heads; Ada had failed.
Even the Enlighters around them could see how terrifying this attack was. Even if Ada had been at his peak, he wouldn't have been able to block this attack, let alone with his heavily injured body.
Ada looked up and watched as the attack descended. The grey blade in his hand disappeared, and a blade that looked exactly like the grey blade appeared. The only difference was that this blade had a scabbard.
This was an innate gift.
Ah Da's eyes widened as he grabbed the hilt of his sword with his right hand and swung it towards Lu Yin's head. In that instant, boundless rune lines shook Lu Yin, and the boiling star energy shook everyone around him.
This was an attack with far more star energy than Ada's, and it was as if there were several or even a dozen Adas attacking at the same time. The attack shattered the third blade and slashed at the Origin Tribulation Vortex.
Everyone was shocked. They sucked in a breath of cold air. How was this blade possible?
President Zhi was shocked and blurted out, "An innate gift for drawing the blade! You're Da Qiu!"
Lu Yin looked at President Zhi. "You know him?"
President Zhi was astonished. "Yes, I should've remembered. The old Hall of Honor's methods have been lost for decades."
Lu Yin looked at Ada. Was he the Hall of Honor's method?
In the distance, Ada sheathed his blade, and the grey blade gradually disappeared. He stood in place without moving. Others couldn't see anything, but Lu Yin could tell that Ada's rune lines were rising. He had successfully faced his tribulation and was now an Emissary.
Above his head, the vortex slowly dissipated, and everyone looked at Ada enviously. He had successfully faced his tribulation.
Mr. Liu Ye sighed. "Innate gift. His innate gift is quite good, and his blade technique is even better."
"He's lucky to have survived this tribulation, but he might not be able to survive the next one," Feihua said.
Everyone looked at Ada and watched as his body occasionally disappeared and entered the Astral Source Universe.
Enlighters didn't know this, and only Emissaries could experience it.
Once an Emissary entered the Astral Source Universe, others couldn't see him, and they couldn't block the attacks from the Astral Source Universe. This was what it meant to be an Emissary, a godlike existence compared to an Enlighter.
The crowd gradually dispersed, and President Zhi left as well. Emissaries were indeed worthy of attention, but Ada belonged to the Hall of Honor and was from the Interstellar Arbitration Center.
President Zhi didn't even care about Liu Yefei, let alone Ada.
Of course, there were also people who stayed behind to ask about Ada's tribulation.
Ada opened his eyes and looked at his palm. Although his injuries were serious, they weren't a problem for him at this moment.
After successfully overcoming his tribulation, a Astral Source Cyclone had formed in his body, and he had become an Emissary. He immediately turned around to look for Lu Yin.
Lu Yin didn't leave, and neither did Liu Yefei.
Ada arrived in front of Lu Yin and bowed respectfully. "Thank you, Mr. Lu."
Liu Yefei looked at him strangely.
Lu Yin smiled. "There's no need. It was nothing."
Ada solemnly replied, "It may have been nothing to you, but it saved my life. Thank you again, Daqiu."
Lu Yin curiously asked, "Daqiu?
President Zhi said that you were once a member of the Hall of Honor, Fazi? "
Ada nodded. "I used to be. After I became an Enlighter, I joined the Interstellar Arbitration Center and changed my name. I've been there ever since."
Lu Yin was amused. "I never thought that I would be so lucky as to randomly pick a tour guide who used to be Fazi."
Big Sis Feihua sneered. "Randomly pick one?
You're looking for the most powerful one, and you still have the nerve to say that. "
Lu Yin was speechless. Was there a need to expose him?
However, she wasn't wrong. After going to the Arbitration Center, he had found Ada because he was infinitely close to being an Emissary. The others were much weaker than him.
"Since you used to be Fazi, and now that you've become an Emissary, will you become an Elder when you return to the World Mountain?
Or will you leave the Interstellar Arbitration Center? "
