Chapter 168: Finally became a god, a man standing on the top of the four continents!

Chen An has quite a few treasures on him, such as his life-saving magic weapon, the Eight Spirit Sword, and other spiritual treasures including a small golden sword, a crocodile tail steel whip, a blood-red broadsword, as well as exquisite pagodas, and colorful rings.

As for the Blood Sea Flute and the Thousand Bones and Ten Thousand Souls Monument, they are too sinister and are just restrained by the thunder tribulation. Using them rashly would not be worth the risk.

As for the order to move one of the ancient spiritual treasures, forget it. No matter where it is moved to, the thunder tribulation will not let it go. Such an operation will increase the power of the thunder tribulation and is completely unnecessary.

However, the small golden sword is quite powerful and is a sharp weapon.

With so many treasures on him and his immense magical power, he was confident that he could withstand the first four ordinary thunder tribulations.

As for the final calamity in the sea of ​​suffering, I am somewhat certain about it.

Otherwise, all the practice of the Spirit Refining Technique would be in vain.

After preparing all the treasures, Chen Jing sat quietly and calmed his mind.

It was not until a month later that he took out the Book of Five Poisons Soul Curse and cursed the extraterritorial demon. He felt refreshed and his body and mind were fully prepared.

After restoring his body to its peak state, Chen An went to a secluded place far away from the spiritual field, ready to break through.

As for the tribesmen in the mountains, Chen An had ordered them to move all to Black Wind City as early as the last time Chen Shusheng came back.

No matter how much trouble we take, it won't have much impact. At most, the mountain will become a little more dilapidated again.

Sitting cross-legged on the top of the mountain, Chen An took out the fairy tree fruit and swallowed it in one gulp.

The vast spiritual energy exploded in the body, like river water pouring into a stream.

Chen An quickly practiced the method of breaking through the spiritual transformation in his martial arts to break through the bottleneck.

As time went by, the sun was shining brightly one moment, and the sky gradually darkened the next.

At this time, above the sky of Kuxiu Mountain, calamity clouds were surging, lightning and thunder were flashing, and heavy rain was falling.

"coming!"

Having experienced this once, Chen An was very familiar with this kind of scene.

He immediately took out several spiritual treasures, ready to face the first thunder tribulation at any time.

People can be late sometimes, but thunder tribulations never are. When the thunderclouds in the sky become dense enough, the first thunder tribulation has already fallen.

"boom!"

Facing the thunder tribulation as thick as a bucket, Chen An's face was stern, and he carefully brought out the bloody sword.

I saw the big knife grow longer in the wind, and in the blink of an eye it was more than ten feet long, with a shining red light, which was in stark contrast to the golden thunder that came down from the sky.

But after being struck by thunder, the sword showed obvious signs of instability and was a little shaky. In the blink of an eye, a tiny crack appeared on the blade.

"After all, it is just an ordinary spiritual treasure and cannot be used for such a great purpose."

Chen An said this in his heart, and seeing that the power of this thunder tribulation had been consumed by 99%, he took back the magic treasure.

Then he allowed the last bit of the power of thunder and lightning to strike his body, allowing it to be cleansed by it.

The way of heaven is balanced. Since the difficulty of physical cultivation is much greater than that of magic cultivation, generally there is no need to go through tribulations, and there is no opportunity to refine the body through thunder tribulations.

Chen An was able to seize this opportunity and use the remaining thunder to refine his body.

As the thunder tribulation gradually dissipated and his body became more solid, he also estimated the limit of what he could endure and had some thoughts in his mind.

Then, when the second thunder tribulation descended, the golden little sword obtained from Du Tianyun flew out.

This item is also an ancient spiritual treasure, much stronger than the blood-colored sword.

The small sword, only a few inches long, was shining with golden light and was no less powerful than the thunder from the sky.

Chen An controlled the ancient magic treasure and faced the second thunder tribulation which was much larger. With a loud bang, he actually managed to block it in mid-air. His performance was much better than that of the blood-colored sword.

Just like last time, leave a trace of thunder power within a controllable range to temper the body.

The third thunder tribulation was the same, but by the fourth one, the thunder tribulation was already three feet thick and looked extremely terrifying.

The golden small sword was already shaky and was about to follow the fate of the bloody big sword, but Chen An's expression remained calm, and the Eight Spirit Sword flew out of his body.

Two sword shadows, one gold and one white, intertwined together, like a dragon and a phoenix, going straight towards the thunder calamity, and there was actually a momentum that could break through the sky!
The path of cultivating immortals is to seize the fortune of heaven and earth and go against the will of heaven. Otherwise, when one reaches a certain level of cultivation, there will be no thunderstorm from heaven.

On the contrary, if one can withstand the calamity of thunder and go through the tempering, one will be able to make great progress in cultivation. This is what is meant by the saying that fortune and misfortune are interdependent.

After four thunder tribulations, Chen An did not relax.

Three golden talismans flew out from his sleeves and stuck to his head.

This is a fourth-tier talisman, the Three Lights Calming Talisman, which is mainly used to regulate the mental state and keep people calm and rational. It is a talisman that can calm the cultivator's mind and purify his spirit. It is helpful in overcoming the calamity of the sea of ​​suffering. The best effect is achieved when three are used together.

However, Chen An has been practicing the Soul Refining Technique for many years, and his soul has reached the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. With the blessing of this talisman, he will be even more powerful.

Just as the effect of the Three Lights Calming Talisman was manifesting and Chen An's mind was clearer than ever before, a black lightning suddenly descended from the rolling clouds of disaster, piercing through the two spiritual treasures in an extremely strange way and striking Chen An's Niwan Palace directly.

Chen An had anticipated that this thunder could not be resisted.

After being struck by lightning, his body did not feel any discomfort, but he felt dazed and his consciousness was pulled into a dark place.

As a wave of water came towards him, Chen An reacted and looked around, and found himself in the boundless black sea. It was dark and cold, and extremely uncomfortable.

What is even more strange is that there are human figures floating on the sea and wandering auras.

Looking closely, there are Chen An's appearance as a child, as a teenager, and as he is now.

Chen An in different periods, countless figures floating on the sea, looked indescribably strange in the eyes.

Before he could react, he saw countless figures suddenly turn their heads to look at him, then scream and swarm over him.

Chen An's body felt as if struck by lightning and he could not move at all. Immediately afterwards, countless thoughts, memories and emotions flooded into Chen An's mind, like an explosion in a pot, causing him great pain.

Memories and experiences from various periods, spanning more than two hundred and forty years, flashed through his mind at the same time, like a volcanic eruption, all released at once.

His head was so swollen that it almost burst.

This is the calamity of the sea of ​​suffering. When a person is experiencing this calamity, he is in a state of concentration, and all the experiences, feelings, and thoughts of this life burst out at the same time.

It is like putting the contents of a thick book on one page. Such a small space cannot accommodate so much content. It would be strange if there are no problems.

If one can survive this calamity, one in ten thousand will become a deity, looking down on the creatures of the four continents. Otherwise, his soul will explode and turn into ashes, leaving only an empty shell when he dies, and he will never have the chance to be reborn.

Chen An covered his head, and just as he was struggling, a cool feeling rushed into his body, illuminating his mind and calming him down a lot.

"call"

After taking a few deep breaths, Chen An felt a little better.

This is the advantage of a short cultivation period. If there is a cultivator who has cultivated for eight or nine hundred years before finally overcoming the sea of ​​suffering, his power will be several times stronger than his because he has more experience and memory!
Moreover, he had been practicing hard in the mountains for many years and had not had many magnificent experiences, which could be considered as one of his assets for overcoming the tribulation.

Immediately, Chen An focused his mind, silently practicing the Soul Refining Technique, and slowly digesting the various memories, perceptions, and emotions in his mind.

This is what the sea of ​​suffering is like. As long as you can withstand the fierce impact at the beginning, you just need to endure the rest slowly.

Before the power of the Three Lights Calming Talisman was exhausted, Chen An's consciousness returned to his body and he suddenly woke up.

"call!"

At this time, Chen An's face was pale and sweaty, and he felt like he had just walked through the gates of hell. However, the clouds above his head had cleared up, and the disaster clouds had retreated.

This experience of suffering and tribulation lasted only a few breaths, but to him it seemed as long as hundreds of years.

Fortunately, I have the Soul Refining Technique as my foundation, and the Three Lights Calming Talisman to protect my soul, otherwise, it would have been difficult to get through this time.

The path to immortality is difficult, and the road is littered with bones, but that’s all.

However, this breakthrough has greatly improved my strength, so it is worth going through this disaster.

Now that he has been reborn from the cocoon and has broken through to the stage of spiritual transformation, the Nascent Soul in his Dantian has grown over one foot in height. Although it has only grown by an inch, its appearance has changed drastically.

He no longer looks like a baby, and his appearance is exactly the same as Chen An today, but more solid, just like a real person, without any sense of illusion.

The greatest benefit of going through the sea of ​​suffering is in the realm of mind and soul. Chen An's realm of mind and soul increased sharply from the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation before the breakthrough to the late stage of the Spirit Transformation, which can be said to be the best among his peers.

After being tempered by the thunder tribulation, the physical body has reached the fourth level of perfection and can break through to the fifth level at any time!

What interested Chen An most was the manipulation of the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth.

When a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage uses his magic power, he can only absorb the spiritual energy of the outside world into his body, collect it in his Dantian, and refine it into his own magic power before he can use his power.

Those who have reached the stage of Divine Transformation can directly call upon some of the external spiritual energy to bless themselves, and use various methods to perform tasks far beyond those of the Nascent Soul stage.

This can be seen from the battle against Huoyu and Qingze.

When the mood came, Chen An concentrated his mind and gathered his energy. The spiritual energy around him surged in like crazy. All the spiritual energy inside and outside his body gathered at his fingertips, slowly forming a cold sword energy.

"Whoosh! Bang!"

The God-killing Sword flew out and directly penetrated into a mountain dozens of miles away. With a rumbling sound, the mountain was blown into pieces.

"It's quite powerful."

Chen An nodded secretly.

After sorting out the gains from the breakthrough, he looked back at the devastated mountain and shook his head helplessly: "Let Chen Qing deal with these."

With a sigh, he immediately flew back to the cave residence in Beishan.

Within a few hours, all the Chen family members, including a bird and a dog, swarmed over.

They all saw the situation of the tribulation just now, but they were far away and didn't know whether Chen An had survived the thunder tribulation or not. They came to find out after the tribulation clouds retreated.

When they reached the outside of the cave, the group stopped at the same time, each of them looking worried and a little confused.

"Shall we go in?"

"The cave is blocked by a formation. If you have the ability to go in, just go in. No one will stop you."

"The thunder tribulation just now was very scary, I don't know if I survived it or not."

"You heartless person, just keep talking nonsense. Our master has great powers. This little thunder tribulation is nothing to him!" Chen Guangzhi blushed and angrily scolded another Jindan cultivator from the Chen family.

At this time, a voice of rebuke came from the cave: "Why are you making so much noise? What a fuss! If you have nothing to do, just do what you need to do."

The group was immediately overjoyed, bowed, and then left in joy.

What this means is naturally self-evident. At this point, the Chen family has a cultivator who has reached the level of a spirit being, capable of traveling across the four continents.

"Congratulations, Master!" Chen Shusheng and Chen Guangzhi congratulated each other, then left Beishan with their arms around each other's shoulders and skipping.

Chen Shuang looked distraught the whole time. She had thought that Chen An's breakthrough to the Spiritual Transformation stage was about the same time as his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage. She had never expected that Chen An had already achieved the Spiritual Transformation stage before she had even completed the Core Formation stage.

This terrifying speed of cultivation really hit her hard.

"Ah!"

Chen Shuang smiled sadly and murmured, "What top-grade spiritual roots? Compared to the elders, they are nothing."

She immediately reorganized her mentality, walked into the spiritual field with high morale, returned to Yu Linglong, and sat cross-legged to practice hard.

Dongfuzhong.

Seeing the crowd outside the cave disperse, Chen An looked at the ancient spiritual treasure essence in his left hand and the Five Poisons Curse Soul Book in his right hand, and continued to work on upgrading the spiritual treasure.

This essence is easy to use. Use true fire to calcine it and integrate it into the spiritual treasure. Then put it into the Dantian to nourish it for a period of time, and it will be completed.

For Chen An, this was an easy task.

In just about three months, the Five Poisons Curse Soul Book was successfully upgraded to the level of an ancient spiritual treasure.

"You should celebrate your breakthrough to the Spiritual Transformation stage. I will not hold back this time. Today is the day when the Outer Realm Demon dies!"

Holding the book, Chen An silently recited the name "Black Evil" and visualized the shape of the black fog as usual.

But this time, an accident occurred. The aura of the extraterritorial demon's original body disappeared, and only the auras of more than a hundred other clones appeared in his mind.

"Could it be that I have cursed him to death through my hard work over the years?"

Chen An pondered secretly. The last time the extraterritorial demon was attacked by the evil god, he was seriously injured and cursed several times. Logically, he would not be able to hold on for too long.

Thinking of this, he felt as if he had punched soft cotton and suddenly felt powerless.

"Humph! You're so arrogant as to call yourself a demon from outside the realm, and you're dead now?"

Chen An was speechless, and immediately focused his attention on the other clones, which were at most level three in strength. They were all extraterritorial demons anyway, so he cursed them all equally.

These clones cannot withstand too much damage. Basically, they will die within a few hours after being cursed once.

The third-level ones might be able to hold on a little longer, but the weakest one, Chen An, disappeared before he could finish cursing.

"Boring!"

"Wu Jiutian is still the one who can withstand the ordeal."

Chen An destroyed more than a dozen clones of the extraterritorial demon, then cursed Wu Jiutian before stopping.

And far away in a cave in a remote corner of Nanzhou.

The extraterritorial demon hiding here felt his clones disappearing one after another, and his face became as gloomy as water.

"Who did it?"

He gritted his teeth as he thought of his recent experience.

First, his cursed strength dropped sharply, and then, in order to avoid the spotlight, he moved to the Hehuan Sect that he already controlled. As luck would have it, other demons discovered his hiding place.

Afterwards, he managed to escape at the cost of his own essence and used a secret technique.

This is not the end yet. During the time he was recuperating, the mysterious man attacked him frequently and cursed his original body to death.

In desperation, he could only transfer his consciousness and merge it into this clone before dying.

"No, I can't just sit there and wait for death. If you want me to die, you can forget about it!"

The demon from outside the domain looked almost crazy, and he immediately mobilized most of his clones, sneaking into the place where the cultivators gathered, preparing for a desperate fight.
