Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension Chapter 1640: 884: The Grotto Heaven is Formed, the Primordial Yang Tribulation Arrives

Above the lifeless planet, in the outer skies, jet-black tribulation clouds materialized from nothing, swiftly expanding without limits and eclipsing the majority of the world below.

Rumble, rumble!

Myriad five-clawed Thunder Dragons burst forth from the tribulation clouds, ripping apart the pitch-dark emptiness of the Outer Void in an instant.

After billions of years, this forsaken, barren world at last received its initial gleam of light, yet it also braced for utter devastation.

Thunder Dragon after Thunder Dragon plunged from above, ferociously lunging toward Zhao Sheng seated amid the void, swallowing him and the hundred-mile radius around him completely.

Lightning exploded with brilliance a billion times fiercer than the sun's, unleashing pure annihilation that sparked infernal heat, promptly 'melting' the void and shredding through space-time barriers.

Beneath the endless searing white radiance, Zhao Sheng’s form, approaching the Vajra Body, astonishingly began fracturing rapidly, blackening and carbonizing to reveal translucent jade bones.

Yet, driven by Will Heart Light, his flesh regenerated massively in waves, shedding layers of charred crusts while ceaselessly renewing.

The initial Sixth Nine Tribulations thunder strike endured a full quarter-hour, but Zhao Sheng offered no defense whatsoever, enduring it purely with his physical body.

Within that mere quarter-hour, he experienced nine full rebirths of blood and flesh, leaving his jade bones entirely unharmed—and even more lustrously crystalline.

No sooner had the first thunder tribulation concluded than the second Red Cloud Thunder Tribulation struck right after.

The enormous tribulation cloud shifted to a blood-red hue, radiating profound menace, as Red Cloud Thunder Dragons shattered the clouds, bearing incinerating flames that devoured all, crashing down upon Zhao Sheng.

In a flash, a 'sun' ignited above the planet, with endless flames plummeting to the ground, forming vast magma lakes spanning hundreds of miles across.

At the First Dark Heaven, Jin Zha turned sorrowfully to Tu Zha and inquired, “Atu, when do we make our move?”

Tu Zha stared fixedly at the 'sun' dominating the realm, his face serene, replying, “Hold steady, our master has stressed multiple times that our optimal moment to act is when the golden body nears total breakdown.”

Fire Zha chimed in with a teasing grin, “Ah Jin, you’re doubting our master too soon. He hasn’t deployed the Creation Domain at all, so it’s way too premature for us. Stay calm!”

Before those words fully landed, Mu Zha’s eyes flared wide with fury as he bellowed, “Until when? If it were my call, we’d safeguard the master’s body right now to prevent any accidents. Should something happen, none of us could shoulder the blame!”

“Ah… Amu… is… correct!” Shui Zha blinked anxiously, murmuring her soft agreement.

Tu Zha gestured dismissively with poise and declared, “Enough chatter—simply wait it out!”

Among the Five Zhas, Tu Zha stood as the steadiest and most composed, naturally emerging as the 'big brother' figure who typically called the shots.

Thus, once Tu Zha decided, the remaining four Zhas complied without question.

…

No one could tell how much time elapsed, but deep inside the primordial chaos where heaven and earth parted, earth, water, wind, and fire smoothly took form; Heavenly Dao Laws endlessly manifested and wove together, gradually imposing structure and dominion over this nascent realm.

Right as a magnificent chaotic vortex slowly coalesced behind Zhao Sheng, the colossal entity upholding heaven and earth grew hazy and faded, then gradually dissolved into shimmering lights, merging seamlessly into this world…

Following the Red Cloud Divine Thunder, the golden body endured another nine rebirths, rendering the entire frame of jade bones yet more brilliantly translucent.

With the third Azure Sky Divine Thunder crashing down, the freshly forged world confronted its inaugural trial by thunder tribulation.

Billions of Divine Thunders flooded the newborn Grotto Heaven, slamming against the majestic space-time canopy and erupting with apocalyptic might.

As the space-time dome materialized, myriad stars ignited vibrantly, gathering boundless space-time essence to perpetually mend the barriers and seal every space-time 'flaw.'

At the same time, countless lightning bolts ravaged the Grotto Heaven; the primal forces of earth, water, wind, and fire, battered by the strikes, swiftly morphed into towering mountains and flowing rivers, drifting clouds and mists, raging gales—and even primordial life… tufts of verdant moss crept across desolate soil, innumerable blooms and blades sprouted from nowhere, rapidly claiming expansive territories.

Volcanoes burst open across the terrain, infernos soaring skyward, ash and debris choking the air, whirlwinds tearing through the firmament.

Flames, whipped up by the wind, surged directly into the Cloud Sky. The ferocious blaze power incinerated the dense Cloud Sea, spawning vast water vapor in an instant, which swiftly turned into a deluge of pouring rain.

…

Outside,

Divine Thunder consumed the void, reducing Zhao Sheng’s flesh to a mangled pulp, nearly transforming him into a horrifying skeleton of pure jade.

In that instant, a fierce shout burst from him, as another Primordial Spirit Skill shot out from the Purple Mansion, rapidly drifting into the chaos vortex.

Entering the nascent Grotto Heaven, the Primordial Spirit Skill immediately morphed into myriad strands of Divine Light, fusing seamlessly into Spirit Heaven and Earth.

His Divine Thought and Will commanded every Heaven and Earth Law, starting to embody the Heavenly Dao Dominator, expertly arranging the order and laws within the Grotto Heaven.

As moments passed, countless Taoist Laws emerged at blinding speed, distilling from complexity to simplicity, from intricacy to profound truth, birthing infinite “Tao and order.”

While Zhao Sheng labored to bolster the Cave Heaven Law, the third Azure Sky Thunder Tribulation concluded without issue, and the fourth Xuanxiao Divine Thunder descended forthwith.

Rumble, rumble!

Colossal Xuan-hued Thunder Dragons ripped through the void, pulverizing Zhao Sheng’s entire flesh in a flash, baring his jade bones. Dazzling flames sparked off them, as layers rapidly eroded away, the surfaces fracturing into myriad cracks.

Indescribable pressure, laden with countless lightning bolts, slammed onto Zhao Sheng’s “body” instantly, nearly obliterating the Vajra Body jade bone Dharma Body.
