The God of Heavens

Chapter 292 Creator!
The wilderness is vast and boundless; its boundaries cannot be measured even by millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of miles.

This place is perpetually shrouded in the heat of summer, with thunder and torrential rain raging almost daily, making it one of the most unique places in the world.

Lin Yu's Primordial Heavenly Gate is incredibly mysterious. Even though it is located on the border of the Western Regions, it can still reach the depths of the wilderness with its powerful spatial force.

This is also a new ability it gained after devouring the ancient Rashomon. As it continues to grow, this artifact becomes more and more powerful, and it is beginning to resemble the king of artifacts.

After venturing hundreds of thousands of miles into the wilderness, one enters a desolate and uninhabited wilderness. Here, monsters roam freely, danger lurks everywhere, and every step is fraught with hidden danger.

After traveling hundreds of thousands of miles further, suddenly a dark cloud covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of miles appeared and hovered in the sky.

"Indeed, this place should be the Thunderstorm Forbidden Zone."

Lin Yu stopped here. Hundreds or thousands of feet underground, there lay a vast deposit of metals.

This is why the energies of heaven and earth interact, causing the heavenly thunder to rage.

According to ancient records, many great figures, such as the Longevity Emperor and Panhuang, underwent tribulations here in the Primordial Era. Many philosophers from the Middle Ages also circulated their souls and devoured the will of heaven and earth here.

The time has finally come for me to become the creator.

"Yang Qian, are you really going to undergo three tribulations to become a Creator? Isn't that too dangerous?" The Heavenly Serpent King cast a concerned glance at him.
"It would be better to undergo six tribulations of lightning first to solidify our foundation."

"Yes!" Dragon Girl Ao Luan nodded worriedly.
"The tribulation of the Creator is no small matter; the philosophers of the Middle Ages still need many years to accumulate experience."

"It's alright." Lin Yu stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes gleaming.
"Having accumulated enough wisdom, a breakthrough is just a matter of a single thought."

As he spoke, all 38,000 of his thoughts soared out, tearing through the void and entering the lightning.

"boom--"

The first to fourth layers of lightning tribulation circles can be pierced through with a flick of the finger!

Amidst the surging soul power, the thunder in the sky was forcefully dispersed, tearing open a transparent passage in the thunderclouds.

The lightning domain that ordinary fourth-level ghost immortals would have to cross with extreme caution was nothing to him.

In a fraction of a second, Lin Yu's soul had already entered the core of the fifth tribulation!
The circle of the fivefold lightning tribulation was no longer a small world, but rather a powerful and majestic masculine force that surged violently.

It was filled with intense masculine energy, exactly the same as the aura of an immortal!
The moment Lin Yu's thoughts entered, it was as if his entire body had fallen into the scalding blood of a human immortal, or as if he had been struck by a full-force punch from a human immortal!
However, his thoughts were uniquely profound, with his essence, energy, and spirit converging, making them extraordinary. Therefore, under the ravages of the lightning tribulation, he not only remained unharmed but also began to enjoy the tempering process.

"It's only at the level of a beginner-level immortal, not even comparable to my true self, but it's still somewhat helpful."

Lin Yu felt the masculine energy within, laughed heartily, and his thoughts surged like a turbulent tide in the Thunder Pool as he absorbed the masculine energy with all his might and rapidly refined it.

Click!Click!
In an instant, the thought absorbed enough yang energy and combined it with the human immortal martial arts that Lin Yu had comprehended, and it split again!

The original 38,000 thoughts instantly increased to 55,555, each one incredibly powerful and radiant, like the bright moon.

By splitting his thoughts through the five tribulations of lightning, Lin Yu effortlessly plunged into the sixth tribulation without hesitation.

Boom!

Deep within the thunderclouds, the masculine energy and blood flowed like an abyss, containing immense power comparable to that of a mid-level immortal.

These thunderous true energies actually evolved into countless martial arts fist intents, charging towards Lin Yu like a vast army.

Even more terrifying is that it is mixed with violent spatial power, which is even more violent and unruly than the spatial energy in the Qiankun Bag.

"boom!"

Suddenly, all the lightning energy converged wildly, condensing into another "self" in front of Lin Yu!
This thunderous avatar possessed an aura as deep as an abyss and a power as vast as the sea, just like Lin Yu's true form.

"Interesting." Lin Yu's eyes flashed with a sharp light. "A six-fold tribulation of lightning can actually reveal one's true self!"

Thousands of lightning bolts unleashed their power simultaneously, each strike containing the force of creation itself. The entire lightning tribulation space trembled violently, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

Mastering the stick, but aiming for the yard!
This ordeal is a test that he must overcome in order to successfully survive.

"Though you are formed from the will of heaven and earth, your strength is forever fixed, while I can continuously improve. How can such constraints bind me?"

Lin Yu stared at the "self" formed by the lightning tribulation, his eyes shining brightly:

"As the ancients said, 'It is easy to defeat the bandits in the mountains, but difficult to defeat the bandits in one's heart.' Today, I will personally slay this inner demon and overcome this calamity!"

Boom!

In an instant, the two attacked simultaneously, and their figures clashed fiercely in the sea of ​​lightning.

As their fists clashed, the entire lightning tribulation space trembled.

As the lightning tribulation demonstrated, the "self" on the other side indeed possessed the exact same strength—

The same boxing style, the same will, the same fighting wisdom.

"Crack!"

The sound of shattering thoughts echoed repeatedly, yet Lin Yu fought with ever greater courage. A spark of wisdom gleamed in his eyes:
"You are indeed just like me, but in the end you are just a reflection of the past."

In the life-or-death struggle, Lin Yu's wisdom burned brightly.

Every collision is a chance to rediscover oneself; every injury is a chance to deeply reflect on one's shortcomings.

His strength was increasing at a visible rate, surpassing his previous level every second.

"See? This is something you can never replicate—"

Lin Yu suddenly let out a long roar, "My continuous breakthroughs are now!"

Before he finished speaking, his punching stance suddenly changed.

This punch contained a completely new understanding, a realm that the Thunder Tribulation Mirror could never reach.

Wherever the fist's light passed, the "self" formed by condensed lightning exploded, transforming into a sky full of dazzling lightning. These lightning bolts did not dissipate; instead, they were completely devoured by Lin Yu's thoughts.

"Crack!"

Electricity arises from the void, and the sea of ​​consciousness trembles.

The original 55,555 crystalline thoughts split and multiplied wildly at this moment, eventually settling on a terrifying number of 66,666!
Each thought was a full ten feet in diameter, with countless streams of energy swirling and fluctuating within, radiating a vast, divine aura.

"Six tribulations of lightning, completed."

Lin Yu stood in mid-air, surrounded by crackling lightning. His gaze pierced through the layers of thunderclouds, looking towards the higher layers of the seventh tribulation—

That is the true gate of the Creator!
In the cultivation world, a cultivator's spiritual cultivation is like ascending to heaven.

From the initial stage of mental concentration to the attainment of Ghost Immortal, countless geniuses have already been stopped. And the nine tribulations of lightning after Ghost Immortal are all life-or-death tests.

One tribulation of lightning, and one's thoughts become pure Yang. After undergoing the baptism of the tribulation of lightning, one's soul transforms from Yin to Yang, and from then on, one is no longer afraid of the vigorous Yang energy and fist intent of an early Martial Saint, and can confront them head-on.

The second tribulation of lightning gave rise to a glimmer of light. His divine soul and thoughts were incomparably pure, and this glimmer of light appeared and disappeared, completely freeing him from the influence of distracting thoughts and dust. His strength was comparable to that of a mid-stage Martial Saint.

Three tribulations of lightning, thoughts flashing like lightning. Each thought contains the power of thunder, possessing an overwhelming advantage over ordinary ghost immortals, and capable of contending with a late-stage Martial Saint. Four tribulations of lightning, thoughts creating worlds. Having experienced the baptism of the destruction of a minor world, each thought contains the power of a world, causing the power of Daoist arts to surge, now comparable to a peak Martial Saint.

Five tribulations of lightning, all on a whim. His soul, tempered by the blood of a human immortal, can absorb the power of stars and has an extremely keen sense of danger, making him capable of fighting even against a human immortal in the early stages.

Six tribulations of lightning tore through the void. The power of space merged into his divine soul; with a mere thought, he could shatter the void. His mastery of Daoist arts had reached its pinnacle.

In this vast world, those who can achieve the status of Ghost Immortal are extremely rare, each possessing extraordinary talent and exceptional fortune. And those who can withstand the tribulation of lightning are even fewer.

Even powerful figures like the heads of major clans and those around Lin Yu, such as the Heavenly Serpent King Xingmou and the Dragon Girl Ao Luan, only survived around the fourth or fifth tribulation.

Those who have undergone six tribulations are legendary beings, few and far between. Even the Pope of the Essence Temple, who clashed with Lin Yu a few days ago and controlled 600 million lives in the Western Regions, was only at this level.

As for the seven tribulations of lightning, they have already reached the realm of the Creator. The former number one person in the world, Meng Shenji, relied on this level of cultivation to look down upon the world.

The eight tribulations of lightning require one to comprehend the Dao of One Yuan; even someone as powerful as Meng Shenji spent three hundred years to break through.

As for nine tribulations of lightning, that is a myth within a myth, almost a legend!

Now, Lin Yu has successfully passed through six tribulations of lightning, reaching the peak of the sixth tribulation. His thoughts have reached 66,666, placing him at the pinnacle of his time.

"Legend has it that a cultivator's thoughts are at most one yuan."

Lin Yu felt the surging power within his body, "Only by achieving the Yang God realm can one break through the shackles and reach the immense power of 480 million thoughts."

Lin Yu stood in the center of the thunderclouds, his gaze piercing through the depths of the tribulation clouds.

As his cultivation level rose, he became increasingly aware of the terrifying nature of the Yang God realm—

That is a completely new dimension that transcends existing knowledge.

The core of a cultivator's strength ultimately depends on three major elements: the quality and quantity of their thoughts, and their mastery of Dao techniques.

Each tribulation breakthrough is a dual tempering of the quality and quantity of one's thoughts. Just like the thoughts of a cultivator undergoing a second tribulation, both in intensity and quantity, they far surpass those of a cultivator undergoing a first tribulation.

However, compared to the Yang God, even the peak experts who have undergone nine tribulations are far inferior.

The thoughts of a Yang God cultivator are extremely pure and their number is almost infinite, totaling 480 million!

Such a huge difference in scale has completely widened the gap in strength.

A master who has undergone nine tribulations of lightning is like an ant looking up at a true dragon in front of a Yang God; the two are simply not on the same level.

At this moment, Lin Yu, who had survived six tribulations, already possessed the ability to shatter the void.

Even without a physical body, one can freely travel through various minor worlds using only one's divine soul, truly reaching the realm of "the world is so vast, there is nowhere one cannot go".

His gaze grew increasingly profound; beyond that gate of creation lay another world—

That is the supreme realm that enables the creation of things from nothingness and the creation of life; it is the realm of sages that only the philosophers of the Middle Ages could reach.

"It's time." Lin Yu took a step forward, and all 66,000 thoughts around him simultaneously shone brightly.
"Today, I will push open the door to creation!"

Before he finished speaking, his figure shot towards the thunderous portal like an arrow.

"The creation of heaven and earth is mysterious and wondrous. I have spent many days accumulating knowledge and understanding the secrets of the sun and moon, and the mysteries of the universe's operation, all for this day! Gate of Creation, break open for me!"

Facing the Gate of Creation formed by condensed lightning, Lin Yu stood as steady as a mountain. He slowly raised his right fist, the true essence of the Primordial Divine Fist flowing within it.

In an instant, the force of the fist poured down like a galaxy, and the boundless true energy tore the lightning apart like rags!
"break!"

The punch landed squarely on the Gate of Creation, producing a deafening roar.

The majestic lightning portal shattered with a deafening roar, revealing a vast and boundless world beyond—

That is the necessary path to the realm of the Creator.

During the golden age of the medieval philosophers and the emergence of ancient Yang gods, the Creator remained the top powerhouse standing at the pinnacle.

Cultivators at this level can create things from nothingness and imbue them with life. Just as Meng Shenji created the Nine-Fire Dragon, they have mastered the mysteries of creation.

"Rumble--"

From the shattered Gate of Creation, the solidified, metallic thunderous energy surged forth like a flood bursting its banks.

These lightning bolts were incredibly hot, with temperatures high enough to instantly vaporize even a divine material like Blood-Patterned Steel.

Lin Yu's 66,000 thoughts were completely submerged in this sea of ​​thunder.

"What a magnificent seven tribulations of lightning!"

Lin Yu's soul and thoughts rose and fell amidst the thunder, truly feeling the terrifying power of the Tribulation of Creation.

Each bolt of lightning was as heavy as a mountain, as hot as lava, and contained the profound truth of creation and destruction.

"The gates of creation are not to be glimpsed by mortals! Retreat hastily, lest you perish both body and soul!"

Deep within the thunder, the whispers of an ancient demon god echoed like the resounding toll of a great bell. In an instant, countless bolts of lightning energy condensed into the shape of an ancient demon god, densely surrounding Lin Yu.

"ridiculous!"

Lin Yu sneered, and his 66,000 thoughts suddenly transformed into countless monstrous maws. These maws opened wide and devoured all the demon gods in the sky!
As the thunder surged, even more powerful beings emerged one after another—

Ancient sage emperors, medieval philosophers, and ancient great powers—without exception, all were completely devoured by Lin Yu's thoughts.

"The calamity of creation, all befalls me!"

With a long roar, Lin Yu's soul transformed into a bottomless vortex. The Three Sutras of Tathagata, the Dark Record of the Profound Heaven, the Book of Creation, and other supreme secret techniques were perfectly integrated, generating a terrifying suction power.

The creative energy from the seven tribulations flowed like rivers into the sea, continuously merging into his soul.

"Om-"

Heaven and earth resonated, and the void trembled. Nourished by the true energy of creation, Lin Yu's thoughts began to expand wildly. Each thought grew to the size of an acre, like a small world suspended in the void.

Its quality is so strong that it is even comparable to the thought of eight tribulations of lightning!
Ultimately, the number of his thoughts reached one.

A total of 129,600!

Each one is as stable as a microcosm, containing the great power of creation.

Even more astonishingly, thanks to his profound accumulation of knowledge, he skipped the period of weakness and perfectly transformed his wisdom into power!

Just like the philosophers of the Middle Ages, after accumulating years of cultivation wisdom, they once passed through seven tribulations of lightning and achieved the realm of the Creator in one fell swoop.

This is a true case of accumulating knowledge and experience before unleashing its full potential!
"This is the power of the Creator."

Lin Yu felt the surging true energy of creation within his body, his gaze piercing through layers of void.

Now, he is able to create life out of thin air, just like Meng Shenji created the Nine Flaming Dragons.

This is the supreme realm that truly touches upon the origin of creation!
