Chapter 58 Variables that Heaven Cannot Tolerate

"My good disciple, be careful! The second tribulation is coming!" Sect Leader Qingxu exclaimed in alarm.

Nine bolts of heavenly lightning descended from the sky, each with a wisp of chaotic energy flowing within it, giving one the feeling of arriving at the beginning of time before the creation of the world.

"It's actually Chaos Tribulation Lightning! Although it's only a wisp, it's still terrifying beyond measure." The old Taoist on the green ox looked solemn.

Even in the far east of China, all the forces that were spying using secret methods were moved.

"Even the Chaos Tribulation Lightning has been unleashed; isn't the Heavenly Dao's test for Shi Daohan a bit too harsh?"

"Just how extraordinary is Shi Daohan's talent? That he deserves such treatment from Heaven?"

"If this woman isn't eliminated, she will surely become a great threat in the future!"

Shi Daohan's rise is truly astonishing, and has become a stone weighing on the hearts of the many geniuses of the Eastern Chinese sects, making them wary.

If she is not eliminated, the future prodigies of the Xuanmen will never have a chance to rise to prominence!

"Legend has it that ancient sages and wise men would summon chaotic tribulation lightning to temper and forge sacred weapons, imprinting them with the innate patterns of the Heavenly Dao!"

Some older figures are very envious. The Chaos Tribulation Lightning is initiated by the will of Heaven. Using it to refine weapons will definitely have endless wonderful uses and can improve the grade of spiritual weapons and magic artifacts.

"boom!"

When the first bolt of lightning struck, Shi Daohan's physical body was nearly shattered.

Blood gushed forth, flesh and bone fragments splattered everywhere, soul shattered, and his natal flying sword riddled with cracks.

Her body was covered in deep, bone-revealing wounds, like a candle in the wind or a lamp in the rain, teetering on the verge of collapse.

"Gather them!"

Shi Daohan let out a soft shout, and his shattered divine soul quickly condensed into an ancient and solemn tower, absorbing and refining all the chaotic energy contained in the heavenly lightning.

The innate Dao patterns born within the chaotic heavenly lightning cleared her mind and body, allowing her injuries to heal rapidly, as if she had undergone a phoenix-like rebirth!

"boom!"

The second bolt of chaotic lightning struck, shattering her newly restored physical body and the divine soul that had coalesced into a tower into pieces once again.

"boom!"

As the third bolt of chaotic lightning struck, Shi Daohan let out a long roar, his physical body, soul, and natal flying sword all trembling as he met the heavens!

……

When the seventh bolt of chaotic divine lightning struck down, Shi Daohan was almost shattered.

The white bones were exposed, and her snow-white dress was stained crimson with blood, a truly gruesome sight.

With great difficulty, Shi Daohan reassembled his soul, transforming it into an ancient and majestic cauldron. This cauldron suppressed the chaotic energy generated by the heavenly thunder, guiding it to flow through his soul, body, and natal flying sword, imprinting innate Dao patterns on them. He then refined the energy to alleviate his injuries.

"boom!"

When the eighth bolt of divine lightning struck, most of Shi Daohan's bones were shattered, leaving her unrecognizable as human. Yet, she persevered and withstood the test.

The high-ranking members of Horagaka Academy all looked away, unable to bear watching any longer.

"boom"

Finally, the last bolt of chaotic divine lightning struck, piercing and shattering Shi Daohan's physical body, turning it into a cloud of blood mist under the moonlight.

Shi Daohan exerted his spiritual power, causing the essence of the ten directions to surge wildly. The blood and bones that had splashed in the sky were drawn back, as if time had reversed.

Her soul transformed into a figure like an immortal emperor, radiating divine light. Upon closer inspection, the figure was actually herself!

The divine soul transformed into a female immortal emperor, sitting cross-legged on her brow, gathering the wisp of chaotic energy in her bosom, where it was nourished, constantly recovering and growing stronger.

"Crunch crunch"

Shi Daohan's physical body began to recover, his spirit became clear and flawless, and he sat cross-legged between his eyebrows, resonating with heaven and earth.

Her natal flying sword hovered above her head, rising and falling, emitting bursts of sword chants, and dropping strands of chaotic lightning energy, creating a hazy and mysterious atmosphere filled with profound Daoist charm.

"brush"

Her physical body was reshaped, and nine streams of chaotic lightning energy flowed slowly around her, like nine small dragons constantly dancing, eventually passing through her brow and entering her spiritual platform.

Each of the nine strands of chaotic thunder energy contained a mysterious and infinitely profound Dao trajectory. Shi Daohan continuously comprehended this, achieving tranquility of body and mind, a state of peace and ethereal serenity.

"Buzz"

The sky trembled, and Shi Daohan opened his eyes, feeling that one foot was already firmly planted in the Void God Realm.

Her white robes fluttered, her long hair danced lightly, and her eyes seemed to contain a universe of stars, brimming with divine radiance.

She stood quietly under the moonlit sky, her state of mind completely different.

"Wasn't it said there would be five tribulations in total? Where is the fifth tribulation?"

Shi Daohan looked up at the sky, puzzled.

The moonlight was cool and clear, like smoke and mist, making the entire Santiago Peak seem shrouded in a light veil, hazy and indistinct.

Shi Daohan gazed up at the sky, serene and without sorrow or joy, her white robes billowing, her waist-length hair dancing lightly in the wind.

There is still one final tribulation lightning strike yet to descend. This is the last threshold to step into the Void God Realm, and it is sure to be no simple matter.

On the other side, none of the many elders in the Shushan Council Hall could remain calm; the clamor was deafening, and the entire sky was almost boiling.

"Did I succeed? I can feel that unique aura of the Void God Realm!"

"Good, good, thirty-six bows, you've finally taken this step?"

"Xiao Daohan has successfully passed the test and will become a powerful figure who can dominate the region. His future achievements will far exceed our imagination."

Everyone was excited, and some old men even cried tears of joy, secretly wiping away their tears with their sleeves.

Since the chaos of the Heavenly Collapse, the world has changed, and cultivators no longer need to undergo tribulations. Only a few exceptionally talented and brilliant cultivators need to undergo tribulations to break through their cultivation barriers.

Heaven is both ruthless and compassionate; though death seems certain, a glimmer of hope may actually remain.

Furthermore, the suffering is directly proportional to the reward. As long as one can withstand the test of the heavenly tribulation, the benefits of cultivation in the future will be endless. It is a divine blessing that many people would rather die than obtain.

"Did Shushan's poet Daohan really succeed in passing the test?"

"She actually survived the legendary Chaos Tribulation?"

"As far as I know, this Shi Daohan has only been a disciple of Mount Shu for less than four years, yet he has already reached the Void God Realm. Such a speed of cultivation is truly astonishing!"

In another realm, the top powers of Eastern China were all immersed in a very solemn atmosphere.

In the Hundred-Eyed Cave, a blond man stood tall and strong, his eyes filled with wildness, and his golden battle armor gleamed with a cold luster.

"Shi Daohan...you wait, I will definitely come to the West to find you!" he murmured, his eyes shooting out two sharp beams of light, his whole body exuding killing intent.

At the Celestial Academy, a stunningly beautiful woman stood quietly on a cliff, dressed in white, ethereal white robes, surrounded by a misty aura. Her beautiful eyes sparkled with a strange light as she gazed thoughtfully into the distance.

On Mount Wuyang, a handsome man emerged from a magnificent hall, gazing westward.

His expression was calm, and he was surrounded by 108 divine halos, making him look like a god walking in the world.

This is a rare genius, unparalleled in history. When he was breaking through to the Void God Realm, Heaven also sent down a tribulation of lightning to test him. However, the tribulation he faced was not as terrifying as that faced by Shi Daohan.

"Shi Daohan... I believe we will meet again soon." He appeared calm, but his heart was turbulent. Shi Daohan's rise made him feel a heavy pressure.

In the East, the most outstanding young talents, the successors and disciples of various sects and schools, all felt immense pressure at this moment.

They were all shining stars, but Shi Daohan's rapid rise was like a newly rising sun and moon, overshadowing their divine brilliance and making them appear dim and no longer so dazzling.

The powerful figures of the sects and cults in the East were all secretly cursing at this moment. The fact that Mount Shu had nurtured such a freak was definitely not good news for them.

As long as Shi Daohan is not eliminated, his descendants and disciples will be suppressed for life and will never have a chance to rise above their circumstances!

On the summit of Mount Sintajam, Shi Daohan stood quietly beneath the vast sky, never witnessing the arrival of the fifth tribulation of lightning. The moonlight was serene and gentle, without a trace of danger.

"Perhaps I'm wrong. After all, even the Chaos Tribulation, which is extremely rare and only exists in ancient history, has appeared. Maybe the Heavenly Dao itself felt that it had gone too far, so it stopped making things difficult for you."

The old Taoist priest, sitting on the blue ox, spoke these words, but his fingers were constantly calculating.

"Hahaha..." Sect Leader Qingxu laughed heartily, feeling extremely happy.

The two patriarchs, Huanglong Zhenren and Qingxiu Shao Nian, were also beaming with joy.

With such a rising star emerging from Mount Shu, how can it not flourish?

"Like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, from this day forward, Xiao Daohan can also join the ranks of the strong."

The elders of the council hall also offered their congratulations to Shi Daohan.

Those who had made moves earlier fell silent and did not make another one.

Now that everything is settled, and with the Grandmaster of Shushan personally overseeing the situation, any rash action would only increase casualties. It would be far better to choose another opportunity to eliminate Shi Daohan discreetly.

Under the night sky, a scene of excitement erupted as Shi Daohan successfully broke through to the Void God Realm, destined to shine brightly in the future!

"Girl, it seems your tribulation isn't over yet."

Just then, the old Taoist priest riding on the green ox suddenly looked up at Shi Daohan and solemnly warned him.

"What?!" Shi Daohan's nerves, which had just relaxed, tensed up again.

"Buzz!"

The sky trembled, as if the entire sky was about to collapse.

Shi Daohan felt a sense of foreboding. Looking up at the sky, he sensed boundless danger and a feeling of utter despair inexplicably arose in his heart.

Above the sky, innate patterns emerged, intertwined, and finally formed the character "诛" (Zhū), which slowly pressed down.

The blood-red character "诛" (zhū, meaning "to execute") made everyone present feel suffocated, and their souls trembled uncontrollably.

"Is this the fifth tribulation of lightning?" The people of Mount Shu were all shocked.

"No lightning, no thunder, what kind of tribulation is this?"

"Why is it the word 'execute'? Does Heaven intend to kill Xiao Daohan?!"

Many people were puzzled, having never heard of such a tribulation of lightning.

"boom!"

The bright red, blood-red character "诛" (zhū, meaning "to execute") enveloped Shi Daohan below, creating an atmosphere that filled one with utter despair, leaving no room for resistance.

"Heaven's will cannot tolerate this... Why is this happening?"

The old Taoist priest riding on the blue ox had a solemn expression, his brows furrowed, and he kept calculating with his fingers.

"Grandmaster, what exactly is going on? What kind of madness has Heaven gone mad? Why would it kill Shi Daohan for no reason?" Sect Leader Qingxu ran over, anxiously asking the old Taoist.

"Watch your words!" The old Taoist glared at him angrily, then looked up at the character "诛" (Zhu) in the sky, which exuded boundless killing intent, and then at Shi Daohan, who was dressed in white like snow, his eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.

"She does not belong to this ancient history we live in, and Heaven cannot tolerate her," the old Taoist said in a deep voice.

"Not part of this ancient history? Grandmaster, what does that mean?"

Master Huanglong and the handsome young man both looked over and asked in unison with Sect Leader Qingxu.

"She doesn't belong to this world; she's someone who shouldn't exist. Do you understand now? Heaven cannot tolerate her; it will ruthlessly eliminate this variable, this outcast!"

The old Taoist priest frowned deeply. He had never deeply investigated Shi Daohan's background before, and only just now did he glimpse some information from the heavens.

"Variables and anomalies that shouldn't exist... why is this happening?" Sect Leader Qingxu pondered, head bowed.

The two patriarchs, Huanglong Zhenren and Qingxiu Shao Nian, looked at each other in bewilderment, wondering why this was happening.

"puff"

The old Taoist priest spat out a mouthful of blood, his cultivation level rapidly declining.

In the blink of an eye, his cultivation level plummeted from the sixth level of the Asking Immortal Platform to the first level.

"Just for glimpsing such a small amount of information, she has already suffered such a backlash. What kind of great karma is this little girl carrying?" The old Taoist wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and thought in horror.

"Grandmaster, is there a way to break this deadlock?" Sect Leader Qingxu asked.

"Don't worry, now that I'm here, I'm not going to let anything happen to this little girl."

Having said that, the old Taoist looked up at the blood-red character "[诛]" (meaning "to kill") in the sky and said, "I don't care whether she belongs to this ancient history or this world. I only know that she is my grand-disciple, someone who can bring great prosperity to my Shu Mountain! I dare to ask the Heavenly Dao for a glimmer of hope, and I hope that all the ancestral masters and sages will protect me!"

Having said that, the old Taoist looked at Shi Daohan and shouted, "Little girl, don't be distracted! The will of Heaven is not irreversible. Today, even if I have to exhaust all my cultivation, I will fight to give you a chance to live!"

"It's nothing serious! Even if I have to risk my life today, I will protect you!" Sect Leader Qingxu shouted, his voice booming throughout the heavens and earth.

"To snatch someone from under the iron-fisted rule of Heaven—such a cool feat, how could I be left out?"

The handsome young man stepped forward, a bright smile on his face.

"Count me in too." Master Huanglong also stepped forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with the handsome young man.

"Everyone..." Shi Daohan's nose tingled, and her throat tightened, unable to speak.

Meanwhile, in the Eastern China, top figures from various factions also learned of everything happening here through secret methods, and all showed expressions of shock.

After Shi Daohan broke through to the Void God Realm, he actually attracted the killing intent of the Heavenly Dao!
