The God of Heavens

Chapter 144 Tribulation of Gods
A coffin floated in the void, rising and falling amidst the chaotic energy. The ancient coffin was sacred and peaceful, brimming with life force and surrounded by celestial energy, inspiring awe in all who beheld it.

On the coffin lid, a branch more than a meter long grew, lush and green. On that tender branch, several leaves were as crystal clear as agate, each with a different color and shape, emanating from it the vigorous essence.

The Immortal Emperor carved a coffin from an ancient tea tree he had come to understand, burying himself in the hope of immortality—truly an audacious act. Throughout history, few have possessed such boldness or done something so outrageous.

No wonder the Emperor Tai was envious and insisted on usurping the throne. In his later years, he went there to rest, and eventually fell into the trap of the Immortal Emperor.

"Buzz!"

Lin Yu summoned the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron, unleashing a divine power that sent countless dragons soaring into the sky, radiating brilliant light, pulling the ancient coffin down and gently placing it on the jade platform.

The ancient coffin was sacred and peaceful, utterly serene, and utterly undisturbed. A tender branch, more than half a meter long, grew from it, exuding an indescribable eeriness. Having existed for millions of years, it still possessed vitality.

Lin Yu knew there was no danger inside. A beam of dark light shot out from the dragon-patterned black gold cauldron, slowly opening a crack.

"boom!"

A sudden clap of thunder and lightning erupted, and the primordial chaotic energy surged forth, only to be casually collected by Lin Yu. Once the chaos had dissipated, the coffin lid silently rose, revealing everything within.

The inside was naturally empty. The skin of the Immortal Emperor that was originally there had been removed by the Emperor, who then lay down inside, hoping to take this opportunity to go a step further.

The Supreme Emperor did not perish, but like most emperors, he chose to attempt the path to immortality in the Immortal Abode World, hoping to enter the Immortal Realm. In the end, he was killed by the Undying Emperor.

At the bottom of the coffin is a human-shaped mark, the image of an ancient emperor, imprinted on the bottom of the coffin.

This is a mark of the Great Dao, which is the profound meaning of the Taihuang Scripture.

In his later years, he revised the Taihuang Scripture here and left the revised text here.

The Taihuang Scripture is known as the strongest scripture of the human race. Its "Imperial Dragon Qi" is unparalleled in attack and destruction. The debate over whether it is stronger or weaker than the "Dou Zi Secret" among the "Nine Secrets" has been ongoing.

The ancient scripture imprinted on the coffin of the Enlightenment Tea Tree is a later revised version of the Taihuang Scripture, with a more profound meaning than the first version.

It's only because Lin Yu alone possesses this world; otherwise, if the Great Xia Divine Dynasty found out, it would cause an uproar, and even the Supreme Imperial Weapons would have to be deployed.

Lin Yu completely disassembled the coffin made from the Enlightenment Tea Tree, separating the inner coffin from the outer coffin, turning it into several pieces of wood that would shock the world if placed outside, as well as several stone nails.

These stone nails were crafted by the Undying Emperor and have survived the long ancient era to this day without being destroyed. They must be celestial treasures with extraordinary power, which he carefully kept.

Lin Yu had previously obtained a branch of the Enlightenment Tea and many tea leaves in the Emperor's son's small world, and now he had found the main trunk of this tree, which could be considered to have brought this divine tree to its proper place.

However, this tree has no roots, so it is not beautiful. In the ancient times, the Immortal Emperor cut off the Immortal Tree and carved it into a coffin for himself, but he left behind a divine root. Only when he conquers the Immortal Mountain and obtains the Enlightenment Tea can it be considered complete.

The platform was vast, shrouded in celestial mist and chaotic energy. Lin Yu's divine eyes flashed like lightning as he gazed upon a hazy, dreamlike place.

Amidst the five-colored glow, a piece of solid ice, its age unknown, sealed an ancient corpse—in reality, just a human skin stained with five-colored blood, radiating an aura of unparalleled terror.

The extreme aura and supreme heavenly might that Lin Yu had previously sensed all originated from him; they were the source of all power!

The solid ice exuded a chilling aura, yet it wasn't piercing; it shimmered with iridescent light, radiating an astonishing vitality. The human skin seemed to stand atop an eternal peak, looking down upon the past and present, with all things appearing to grovel at its feet.

On the other side of the solid ice, Lin Yu discovered a line of ancient characters, bold and vigorous, as if the very essence of heaven and earth were embedded within them. The gist of it was: "Those who come after, wishing to rest in this ancient coffin and be buried within me, hope for your understanding."

"You'll suffer a great loss if you try to gain a little!"

Lin Yu sighed, "Of all people to borrow, they had to borrow the Undying Emperor's coffin. The Undying Emperor's path is to assassinate the aging emperors and absorb the essence of the imperial path to transform himself. Now he has no excuse not to take action."

This human skin had long, smooth purple hair and skin that was smooth and shimmering with a precious luster, which remained undiminished over the years.

There was a slit on its back, from which the flesh and bone that were originally inside had come out. The blood that stained it was dreamlike and different from human blood, displaying five colors and dazzling brilliance.

Lin Yu stared at the five-colored solid ice that sealed the skin of the Undying Emperor, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

The Immortal Emperor's human skin exudes a strong aura. Although it has existed for countless millennia since ancient times, it still retains a crystalline luster. Its purple hair is glossy, and the blood stained with its human skin is multicolored.

He raised his hand and summoned the dragon-patterned black-gold cauldron, which immediately emitted an aura of power that could suppress all ages.

"receive!"

With a soft shout, the dragon-patterned black-gold cauldron emitted a dazzling dark light, and chaotic energy swirled around its mouth, forming a vortex that devoured everything. The five-colored solid ice began to tremble slightly, and the entire ten-thousand-foot-tall jade platform rumbled.

"boom!"

Suddenly, the solid ice burst forth with dazzling divine light, and the human skin seemed to awaken. As the five-colored blood flowed, it emitted a terrifying pressure that changed the color of heaven and earth.

Lin Yu snorted coldly, and the dragon patterns on the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron instantly came to life, with nine black dragon phantoms swirling out and coiling around the solid ice.

"town!"

Nine long, resounding roars echoed through the void, shattering the very fabric of space. Under the suppression of this supreme imperial might, the solid ice finally rose slowly, being drawn inch by inch into the cauldron.

Just as Lin Yu put away the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron, a chilling killing intent suddenly attacked from behind!

Hehehe

Accompanied by a chilling, eerie laugh, a withered, skeletal claw silently reached for Lin Yu's back. The claw's tip gleamed with a cold, eerie green light, and wherever it passed, even the void itself was corroded, leaving dark marks.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time." Lin Yu didn't turn his head, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth. Just as the ghost claw was about to touch his body, a dazzling golden light suddenly burst forth from his body.

"clang!"

A deafening clang, like metal clashing, shook the heavens and earth. A divine mirror appeared, hovering behind Lin Yu, firmly blocking the ghostly claw. Red and black energies swirled around it, like a piece of blue sky descending.

After being suppressed by Lin Yu, this legendary sacred weapon of the Yin-Yang Sect underwent many days of refinement. Finally, he used the Divine Crossing Technique to refine the deity in the mirror and put it to his use.

"boom!"

Seeing that its sneak attack had failed, the deity retreated rapidly, transforming into a black shadow and instantly disappearing a thousand feet away. It wore a tattered straw hat and a raincoat, its face hidden in the shadows, with only two points of scarlet light flashing under the hat.

"The divine will of the Undying Emperor is indeed persistent." Lin Yu slowly turned around, his eyes flashing with cold light. He had long since sensed the existence of this ghost, and he had deliberately revealed a flaw when collecting the human skin just now, just to lure it out.

The Dragon Pattern Cauldron retrieved the Undying Emperor's human skin and returned it to Lin Yu's hand, and Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

The divine thought of the Immortal Emperor—if it truly is evil, that's one thing, but this being has forgotten its past life and is now merely a nameless existence.

If he were to recall his past life memories in the future, awakening the true immortal emperor, and combine this divine skin with it, he would be invincible in heaven and earth, sweeping away all spirits.

However, no matter how powerful he is, it is useless. Because he is a demon born against the will of Heaven, a being born from the death of a god or an ancient emperor, contrary to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and therefore not allowed to exist.

Therefore, Lin Yu chose to undergo the tribulation.

He looked up at the sky, a cold smile playing on his lips. Divine power surged within him, instantly breaking through the long-suppressed barrier of his cultivation realm.

"boom!"

In an instant, thunder roared from the heavens!

The vast heavenly tribulation was like an inverted Milky Way, with endless lightning tearing through the sky and illuminating the entire immortal realm as if it were daytime.

Golden lightning transformed into a vast ocean, causing mountains to collapse and the earth to scorch—a scene of annihilation.

A cold glint flashed in Lin Yu's eyes, and his figure transformed into a golden lightning bolt, chasing straight after the divine thought. With each step he took, lightning patterns bloomed beneath his feet, echoing the thousands of tribulation lightning bolts falling from the sky.

"boom!"

A bolt of purple lightning, as thick as a mountain, cleaved through the void, blocking the path of the fleeing divine thought. The demonic figure swerved hastily, the crimson ghost fire beneath its hat flickering violently; where was the former majesty of the ancient supreme evil thought now?
"Can they escape?"

A blinding bolt of lightning suddenly exploded across the sky, instantly reducing the entire mountain range to dust. The violent power of the lightning swept in all directions, turning the surrounding area for hundreds of miles into scorched earth. Smoke and dust rose into the sky, only to be dispersed by subsequent bolts of lightning.

"Roar—"

The deity let out a heart-wrenching roar, its purple hair whipping wildly in the lightning. Its blurred face twisted completely, revealing its hideous and terrifying true form. It frantically swung its demonic claws, trying to tear through the void to escape, only to find that the entire world was sealed off by the lightning tribulation.

"boom!"

A crimson lightning bolt, as red as blood, suddenly separated from Lin Yu's tribulation and, as if possessing a spirit, struck directly at the top of the deity's mind. This lightning contained the most yang and strongest power to dispel evil, making it the nemesis of yin and evil things.

"Sizzle—"

The instant the lightning struck, billowing black smoke erupted from the deity's body. Its form melted away at a visible speed, like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun. The lingering yin energy, before it could even drift away, was completely purified by the residual power of the lightning.

“Boom—”

Golden and silver lightning intertwined into a net, the power of the moon and sun endlessly rotating. The entire sky transformed into a chaotic furnace, and Lin Yu stood in the air, every pore on his body emitting lightning. Three humanoid lightning bolts, wielding Dao weapons, attacked, each strike carrying the power to cleave the heavens and the earth.

"war!"

The spear of the underworld cleaved through the sea of ​​lightning, producing a metallic clang. As the angel's wings unfurled, thousands of feathers transformed into sharp swords that shot forth. Lin Yu's fist imprint was as large as a mountain, directly clashing with the humanoid lightning strike, the aftershocks tearing the clouds to shreds for miles around.

"Chi—"

The Hellfire Furnace roared and spun overhead, devouring all the shattered lightning bolts. Lin Yu fought with increasing ferocity, suddenly opening his mouth and inhaling half of the sea of ​​lightning. His body began to burst forth with chaotic light, and every inch of his flesh underwent an astonishing transformation.

On the other side, the deity wailed mournfully. Five-colored blood evaporated in the lightning, and his long purple hair burned away strand by strand. That terrifying demonic figure was now like a candle flickering in a storm, on the verge of being extinguished at any moment.

Lin Yu stood in mid-air, his robes fluttering in the lingering thunderous energy. He gazed at the wisp of purplish-black mist that was about to dissipate, a playful smile playing on his lips.

“Want to escape?”

Nine chains of divine order, shimmering with chaotic light, shot out from the Gates of Hell, weaving together like living creatures to completely encircle the struggling evil thought.

The deity emitted a piercing shriek, and the remaining purplish-black mist surged violently, yet it could no longer break free from the shackles that specifically restrained the primordial spirit.

A hissing sound rang out, and countless ancient runes appeared on the Order God Chain. These runes shimmered with a pale golden light, and with each flash of light, the form of the divine thought shrank a little.

"Don't worry, I won't let you dissipate so easily." Lin Yu lightly tapped his fingertip, and a crystal-clear jade bottle flew out from between his brows. "Experimental material like you is extremely rare, appearing only once in ten thousand years."

The jade bottle is entirely black, with star-like specks of light swirling on its surface. At the mouth of the bottle, the flow of yin and yang energies can be faintly seen, making it a supreme treasure specifically used to seal away the primordial spirit.

The remnant soul of the deity was forcibly compressed by the chains of order, eventually transforming into a purplish-black crystal bead the size of a longan. A hideous face occasionally appeared on the surface of the bead, but it could no longer utter a sound.
