The Heavens: Man Covers the Heavens, Refines Treasures to Become an Emperor

Chapter 165 Soul Tribulation
The black clouds covered the entire starry sky like a giant curtain, and all the starlight was covered except for the pair of still bright eyes of the Avenue.

The force that acted on the body and mind at the same time caused the Xuanhuang Mother Energy Tower to tremble continuously.

Finally, the first thunderbolt that had been brewing for a long time fell with a loud bang.

It was only the first bolt of lightning, but it emitted a purple-black glow. In Jiang Xuan's eyes, yin and yang were flowing, and he could clearly see the terrifying aura of destruction in it.

The thunder tribulation that came down left no room for maneuver, it was simply meant to kill him!
The Xuanhuang Mother Energy Tower merged into Jiang Xuan's body along with the first thunder tribulation.

The thunder tribulation did not leave any trace on his body, and the aura of destruction did not cause any harm to his body!

Jiang Xuan's body was like a sponge that absorbed water, and the thunder tribulation rushed into his body like a drop of water, ignoring the obstruction of the Xuanhuang mother energy.

The moment it entered his body, the thunder broke into small pieces and scattered all over his body. The hidden aura of destruction only then truly revealed its terrifying side.

That is the destruction of all the blood, internal organs, and every cell inside the body!
The size of each cell in the body compared to the destructive force it needs to withstand is like a grain of sand compared to a mountain!
Jiang Xuan's veins popped out and his body began to spasm in an instant. Fortunately, the Xuanhuang Mother Energy Tower also merged back into his body in an instant.

The overwhelming pressure made his face become ferocious again, but he still stood tall like a strong pine tree.

As the Xuanhuang Mother Energy Tower merged into every cell of the body, it finally stabilized the toughness of the cells.

Although it is impossible to dispel the massive aura of destruction, it can ensure that the body will not be completely destroyed by it. The only drawback is that every part of the body will feel pain as if thousands of insects are biting the heart or millions of knives are cutting it!

In fact, Jiang Xuan was not without a way to block the pain. His Half-Step Dao Soldier Bagua Furnace was now quietly suspended above his Dantian. The deep, light-absorbing black furnace fire was burning fiercely, and it seemed to be very interested in this destructive force.

But this destructive force is also a disguised way of exercising his body!
After walking out of the mysterious world, his realm had reached too far, but his body was far from keeping up!

After seeing the true nature of this destructive force, Jiang Xuan wanted to use this destructive force to rebuild his body once again.

As the destructive force hit every cell again and again, the Xuanhuang mother energy flowing in the cells became heavier, and an aura as heavy as a mountain vaguely emerged beside Jiang Xuan.

The power of destruction acts as a catalyst, not only enhancing the adaptability and defense of each cell in disguise, but also making the Xuanhuang mother energy thicker.

Before he had digested the destructive power in his body, another similar thunder strike struck him, and a huge amount of destructive power, symbolizing death, fell into his body.

Jiang Xuan still did not move. His body was slowly transforming under the pressure of the power of destruction. He wished he could have more power of destruction to polish himself.

As if responding to his needs, or as if the Heavenly Dao did not want to give him any chances at all, the pure destructive thunderbolt fell faster and faster, and became more and more massive!
All the prying eyes from the outside world were blocked by the sky-covering thunder tribulation, but at this moment, there was a consciousness that penetrated the space, the avenue, and even time and cast a glance over.

The shadow of a young man who appeared to be in his twenties appeared on the other side of the starry sky, facing the Eye of Heaven from afar.

The young man had thick black hair and a shining gaze that could see through everything. Every move he made made the entire universe tremble. Even the Eye of Heaven in the distance, after sensing the other party's consciousness, did not dare to include him in the target of the thunderbolt.

“There is actually a thunder tribulation presided over by the Heavenly Dao himself?” There was a gleam in the young man’s eyes, as if he saw through everything about Jiang Xuan.

"Some of these strange rules are actually completely different from the three thousand great ways of the Heavenly Dao. Even if there are similar rules, they have different powers! It's really hard to understand! There are even rules specifically used to tamper with the rules?"

The young man's eyes gradually dimmed, and his figure gradually became illusory, as if his time and space were forcibly pulling him back to the right place.

The young man turned his head and looked at the Eye of Heaven: "Are you going to kill them just because of this? That's really too petty!"

The Eye of Heaven was still staring at Jiang Xuan below, as if expressing its determination to kill him.

"Even I can't explore his sea of ​​consciousness, so you may not be able to achieve your goal! This is good, with more variables, there will be more possibilities in this world! I can't handle it alone!"

The voice slowly faded away, and the illusory young man in the starry sky had disappeared, leaving only the Eye of Heaven still looking down indifferently, as if it did not believe that the thunder tribulation could not kill the young man below who tried to challenge the rules. The speed of the thunder tribulation decreased even faster.

If Jiang Xuan knew that all this happened because of what that young man said, he would just want to say, "I really do...thank you!"

The thunder of destruction changed from one streak to another, and finally into a whole column of lightning that continuously covered him.

Feeling the endless destructive power pouring into his body, Jiang Xuan was a little confused at this moment!
Is the Heavenly Dao crazy? Whose thunder tribulation is falling like a laser beam? What's the difference between this and directly pouring the power of destruction into his body?
Well, now all we have to do is pour the power of destruction directly into his body.

With the "irrigation" of massive amounts of death power, Jiang Xuan's body finally reached a bottleneck.

"boom!"

Along with the roar of the body, every cell turned brown in an instant. The heavy breath instantly swallowed up all the destructive power and turned into nutrients absorbed by the body. It actually returned to its original state and turned into source power flowing in the body and pouring into the Dantian.

After eliminating all the destructive power in the body, the Xuanhuang Mother Qi Tower was propped up again, with the Heavenly Dao above its head and the starry sky under its feet. The Dao and principles that emerged in it slowly intertwined and dissolved into the tower, and faint Dao patterns emerged on the tower body!

The Dao patterns of the great road!

Following the Bagua Furnace, this is the second magical tool that can activate the Dao Patterns of the Great Dao!

Jiang Xuan opened his eyes, and a smile appeared on his twisted face. He was obviously in a good mood!

If the Bagua Furnace only activated the Dao Pattern by chance while understanding the characteristics of the mysterious world, he had no idea how to actively activate the Dao Pattern for other magical instruments integrated into his body.

Well now he has confirmed a way!

The magic weapon that is completely integrated with him can become more powerful as his body becomes stronger. In other words, his magic weapon does not need to be made of more powerful and excellent materials, and can be upgraded through training!

Just as his body gradually becomes stronger under the influence of the power of destruction, it can also affect the Xuanhuang Mother Energy Tower to become stronger at the same time!
He is the integration of all magical instruments, and all magical instruments also represent him.

As if sensing that the power of destruction could not do anything to Jiang Xuan, the crazy beam of light finally stopped, but the dark clouds above became even more depressing!
The light column disappeared, and the Xuanhuang Mother Energy Tower merged into his body again. Jiang Xuan was now able to calmly resist the pressure brought by the Eye of Heaven. He held his body upright and looked up at the only Eye of Heaven that was still relatively bright.

A new round of thunder tribulation is coming!

There was no thunder! There was no lightning!

Although Jiang Xuan couldn't see the thunder tribulation, he could feel it!
The power of a visionary gave him a strong sense of mental power. Even in the starry sky, he could feel that some people in Dahuang and Zhongzhou were still thinking about him.

He could clearly and intuitively feel the transparent and invisible spiritual thunder above his head.

The next moment, transparent lightning penetrated the body and fell violently towards the sea of ​​soul consciousness!
In Jiang Xuan's perception, the moment the thunder entered his sea of ​​consciousness, it was encircled by the territory of the Hongmeng Treasure Mirror, and a large part of it turned into pure spiritual power and was absorbed by the Hongmeng Treasure Mirror.

He sensed that the Hongmeng Treasure Mirror had energy and could continue to grab things in the myriad worlds in an instant.

Just as the remaining small part of the spiritual thunder was about to unleash its power, Jiang Xuan heard a crisp electronic sound in his ears:

"Rare and pure spiritual energy has been detected. The Fame in the Worlds System can recover more functions by absorbing it! Do you agree to absorb it?"

Jiang Xuan was stunned and chose to agree!
Then another part of the spiritual thunder was absorbed.

"Ding! The energy is not enough to unlock more functions. Please continue to work hard to have more fans! The more fans you have, the faster you can unlock new functions!" After two rounds of devouring, only less than one-tenth of the spiritual power fell on Jiang Xuan's consciousness.

Jiang Xuan's eyes instantly went dark, and then his brain felt like it was pricked by a needle, causing his mind to become confused for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses.

When the darkness in front of his eyes dissipated, he was being held up by the hands of a fat woman with pockmarks all over her face. She forced a smile through her pockmarked face:
"Tiegen! You are so lucky! Your good wife gave birth to a son for you!"

"Okay, okay!" A middle-aged man's voice came from the side, sounding vicissitudes of life but unable to suppress his excitement.

Jiang Xuan turned his head and looked at Tiegen curiously.

This was a lame middle-aged man wearing a coarse linen shirt. His face was tanned by the sun and full of wrinkles, and his hands had calluses from years of doing heavy work.

At this moment, the joy on Tiegen's face turned into worry. He turned his head and looked at the fat aunt with pockmarked face: "Aunt Hua, why didn't this child cry when he was born? Doesn't he know how to talk?"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Hua raised her hand and slapped Jiang Xuan on the butt. The clear and melodious cry of a newborn baby echoed throughout the shabby thatched hut.

It wasn't that Jiang Xuan wanted to cry, but the body he was in was crying on its own.

Hearing the child crying, Tiegen breathed a sigh of relief and a happy smile appeared on his face again.

Time flies. Tiegen and his wife Wang Cuilan stand in their son's newly built adobe house with smiles on their faces, but they can't hide their worry as they look at their son standing outside the house.

The older his son grew, the more capable he became. The life of the family of three became more and more comfortable. However, his temperament seemed less and less like that of a child from a poor family. Instead, he looked more like the child of an aristocratic family who had been lost from somewhere. Sometimes he would stand and stare at the sky for a whole day, as if he had been possessed by an evil spirit.

"Xiaogen-ge! What are you going to teach me today?"

Hearing the playful voice in his ear, Jiang Xuan slowly withdrew his gaze. In front of him, a girl of about eighteen or nineteen stared at him with wide eyes, with admiration and some other vague emotions in her eyes.

"Today I will teach you how to watch the stars! I will test you when there are stars at night!"

"it is good!"

The girl immediately sat down on the stone bench that had been prepared for her, with an expression that showed she was studying hard. The scattered freckles on her face made her look silly and cute.

Jiang Xuan smiled and shook his head. He had long been accustomed to this scene: "Stars are the essence of all things. The sun, the moon and every star have their own place and reason!"

"Observing the stars can help you understand the direction and principles of things. It is said that you can understand human affairs by understanding the laws of nature! I just found a lot of stars with representative meanings. I will show them to you tonight!"

The girl nodded heavily, holding her chin with both hands and just watched the tall and handsome young man talk quietly.

It was not until the evening that Wang Cuihua invited them to have dinner. Although it was just a simple soup, the girl had no objection and even took the initiative to help clean up.

Jiang Xuan walked out of the house and looked up at the sky. He was suddenly stunned. Many of the stars he had found based on his memory had disappeared. The entire sky, which was originally filled with bright stars, were slowly dissipating.

This means that the power of the thunder tribulation is being consumed, and this illusory world is disappearing.

He stared at the sky in silence until the girl tapped his shoulder from behind:

"Xiaogen! What are you thinking about?"

"Maybe it's the future!" Jiang Xuan said casually with a deep look in his eyes.

The girl's hands tightened slightly, and she slowly walked to Jiang Xuan's side. She wanted to take a breath and say something, but she was always holding it back and was too embarrassed to speak. She sighed deeply instead, and the sparse freckles on her face looked red.

Finally, after a long time, the girl's mosquito-like voice sounded: "Xiao Gen! Is there me in your future?"

……

that night
The girl left Tiegen's house crying. Jiang Xuan looked at the gradually dimming starry sky for a long time.

At this moment, he wished that the mental thunder tribulation had not been weakened by more than 90%, allowing him to enter this world with his memory intact. Perhaps he could accept the other party's feelings as a matter of course.

Jiang Xuan looked up and saw several stars being wiped out out of thin air, which meant that the power of this thunder tribulation was slowly dissipating.

But this wait lasted another forty years!

People in this world generally have a short lifespan, and living to nearly sixty is considered a long life.

Xiaohua, or now Aunt Hua, fell seriously ill and had no children to take care of her in her lifetime.

Jiang Xuan strode into the room, his face full of wrinkles, but his spirit and energy remained unchanged, which might be due to his powerful soul.

He fed Xiaohua the medicine skillfully, tucked in the quilt for her, and sat quietly beside her.

Xiaohua just watched Xiaogen busying around, with a hint of mischief in his eyes that only appeared in his youth, as well as the deep love that had been hidden for decades.

"Brother Xiaogen! You said that there is no me in your world!"

Xiaohua's freckles had now turned into age spots, but in Jiang Xuan's heart, she had not changed at all.

"Why don't you just stay single for the rest of your life?"

"You never married, didn't you?"

There was a kind of stubborn seriousness in Xiaohua's eyes.

Perhaps it was because he was experiencing life as a mortal again. Although this memory could not affect his main consciousness, it made him cherish it especially.

Jiang Xuan was silent for a long time: "I told you at that time that I was not a good choice!"

Xiaohua slowly stretched out her hand from the corner of the quilt with difficulty, gestured with her hand, and murmured: "Brother Xiaogen, you taught me!"

Jiang Xuan calmly looked at the finger that was trying hard to finish writing but slowly stopped. He could tell what the other party wanted to complete.

"In the past, transportation was slow and there was only enough time to love one person in a lifetime."

The starry sky was completely silent, and Jiang Xuan walked out of the room in silence.

It turned out that the mental thunder tribulation didn't last for forty years, but that he just didn't want to leave.
