Chapter 290: Dao Heart Breaks Through the Mist and Finally Reaches Mahayana
The path of cultivation is to go against the will of heaven.

When breaking through the Nascent Soul stage, one has to overcome the inner demon tribulation, which mainly tests the cultivator's character. To break through the Spirit Transformation stage, one has to overcome the bitter sea tribulation, the refining void yin fire tribulation, and the fusion stage has to overcome the Bifeng tribulation.

When breaking through to the Mahayana stage, one has to overcome this mental tribulation.

At this moment, above the milk pool, the calamity clouds above Chen An's head have condensed to the extreme. After the seventh thunder tribulation, the eighth thunder tribulation, which is also the Dao heart tribulation, is now brewing.

When a flash of lightning appeared in the calamity cloud above his head, Chen An suddenly felt that the scene around him changed. Acres of fertile spiritual fields appeared before him, and many spiritual farmers were diligently cultivating the fields.

Chen An was also bending over to work, sweat running down his cheeks and soaking his clothes, and he seemed to have forgotten that he was in the midst of a thunder tribulation.

Although it was hard work, Chen An still enjoyed working it. His hands were covered with mud, but his heart was full of satisfaction. Looking at the abundant fruits in the spiritual field, the corners of his mouth were grinning.

It seems that I haven't experienced this kind of life for a long time.

Just as he was working hard, a cold atmosphere suddenly enveloped the entire Yunwu Mountain.

The cultivators of the Liu family appeared silently on the outskirts of Yunwu Mountain, led by the Liu family ancestor, Liu Zhen and Liu Rushi.

Chen An's heart trembled. These three names were not unfamiliar to him. They were the foundation-building cultivators of the rival family, the Liu family!
Chen An quickly assessed the situation. The opponents were all cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, while he was only at the ninth level of Qi Training. The gap in strength was huge.

He subconsciously hid in his own residence and activated a protective formation.

The cultivators of the Liu family did not leave the Chen family any chance to breathe. The ancestor of the Liu family took the first step, and his powerful momentum caused most of the Chen family's defensive formations to collapse instantly.

Although the old man of the Chen family is about to die, he still stands up and tries to resist the attack of the Liu family.

However, his time was running out and his strength was limited after all. After a short while, he was on the verge of collapse under the powerful attack of the Liu family ancestor.

The cultivators of the Liu family sneered and waved their magic weapons, ruthlessly knocking the members of the Chen family to the ground one by one.

Those innocent children and women huddled helplessly on the ground, begging for forgiveness from the Liu family, but were met with ruthless sneers in return.

Chen An witnessed all this in his residence, his heart filled with anger, sadness, and rage. Just as he was hesitating whether to go forward to save people or take the opportunity to run away, amazing changes suddenly occurred in his body.

At this moment, a pitch-black door suddenly stood up in his dantian, and the deathly aura coming out of the dark door rushed straight into his mind.

Chen An felt a headache and an extra memory appeared in his mind.

In his memory, he chose to endure humiliation and planned to resolve the crisis of the Liu family after breaking through the foundation-building stage.

However, that humiliation resulted in the death of many innocent lives of the Chen family, and the Chen family's strength has plummeted since then.

But this time, Chen An felt regretful and decided not to endure it any longer.

He rushed out of his residence and faced the cultivators of the Liu family. Even though he was only at the ninth level of Qi training, he would fight to the end!
The battle broke out instantly. Relying on his exquisite control of spiritual power and eight times the spiritual power of his peers, Chen An engaged in a fierce fight with the Liu family cultivators.

At the beginning of the battle, Chen An was obviously no match for the Liu family monks.

Liu Zhen and Liu Rushi joined forces to attack. The magic weapons in their hands released dazzling light, and the offensive was like wave after wave.

Chen An could only barely defend himself and kept retreating. He was scratched in many places and his clothes were stained red with blood.

The Chen family's defensive formation was crumbling under the fierce attack of the Liu family's cultivators. The low-level members of the Chen family were unable to resist and could only watch their homes being destroyed.

However, what saddened Chen An the most was that the cultivators of the Liu family actually vented their anger on the spiritual fields that he had carefully cultivated.

The Liu family ancestor sneered and said, "These shabby spiritual herbs of your Chen family, I will show you how they will be reduced to ashes!"

After saying that, he waved the magic weapon in his hand, and a powerful spiritual power turned into a sharp blade, which directly cut towards the spiritual herbs in the spiritual field.

Watching the spiritual herbs that were about to mature being destroyed and the spiritual plants he had planted with his own hands being broken into pieces by the other party, Chen An's eyes were wide open and the anger in his heart was like a volcanic eruption. He was unwilling to give in even a step further.

These spiritual herbs are not only wealth, but also important resources on his path of cultivation.

The Liu family’s atrocities completely angered Chen An, and he decided to give it a try.

During this fight, Chen An was surprised to find that every time the fear in his heart dissipated a little, his opponent's strength seemed to weaken a little.

This change completely aroused his fighting spirit. He was no longer afraid, but chose to give it a try.

Regardless of his injuries, Chen An resolutely attacked Liu Zhen, exchanging injuries for injuries.

He thrust out his magic sword, and the sword light pierced through Liu Zhen's defense like lightning, piercing his heart.

Then he turned to Liu Rushi, who was horrified and tried to escape, but was caught up and killed by Chen An.

In the end, Chen An faced the ancestor of the Liu family.

The battle between the two was extremely fierce. Chen An gradually gained the upper hand by relying on his unique use of spiritual power from the extra memories he had just gained, as well as his fearless courage.

After a fierce battle, the ancestor of the Liu family finally fell under his sword.

After killing three people, Chen An was already lying on the ground dying.

Looking up at the sky, there are a few white clouds floating under the clear blue sky, drifting slowly, looking very comfortable.

He looked up at the sky and felt an unprecedented sense of relief in his heart.

Suddenly, the white clouds floating in the sky began to become darker and darker, and were covered by a thick layer of black clouds. A purple light flashed in the clouds and struck straight towards his head.

Chen An suddenly woke up. At this moment, he was going through a thunder tribulation!

Chen An's heart tightened, and he hurriedly used the True Energy Body Protection Technique to concentrate all the magic power in his body on one point.

The purple thunder roared like a giant dragon and rushed towards Chen An. The surrounding space seemed to be torn apart by this force. Chen An only felt that his body was hit by a huge force. The body protection technique emitted a dazzling light and was on the verge of collapse.

The power of this purple thunderbolt was too strong. Under the bombardment of lightning, cracks began to appear on the light shield and it was about to break.

If the light shield breaks, the lightning will strike directly on his head, and the consequences will be disastrous.

Chen An's face was solemn, and he silently used the Eight Gates Divine Vein Technique: "Eight gates, open at the same time!"

Open the door, rest the door, close the door.
With each door that was opened, Chen An's aura became much stronger. After the Gate of Death was opened and the eight gates became one, his body burst out with dazzling light, as if it had merged with the heaven and earth.

"Break it for me!"

Chen An stood upright and punched out with the eighth thunder tribulation that seemed to be able to destroy everything, but it disappeared in an instant like an ant trying to shake a tree.

With the completion of the Dao Heart Trial, the Nine Netherworld Milk near Chen An swarmed in and transformed into a powerful force that poured into his body. His cultivation also made a qualitative leap at this moment.

Seeing this, Chen An breathed a sigh of relief, thinking back to how dangerous this tribulation experience was, if he had not taken advantage of the time when he had completely cultivated the Eight Gates Divine Veins Technique and entered into a mysterious realm, he probably would not have been able to get through it so easily.

Thinking back to the memory that emerged from the black gate in the dantian in the illusion just now, it was probably the work of the Death Gate in the Eight Gates Divine Veins Technique.

After Chen An broke through to the Mahayana realm, he felt the aura around him change. A vast force surged in his body, as if the whole world became clearer in his perception.

He closed his eyes and carefully felt the changes in the surrounding space. Suddenly, dozens of small stars and four large dots appeared in his perception.

These stars flickered like distant stars. I reached out to touch them, but I couldn't reach them. They seemed to exist in another dimension. Chen An's heart moved, and he instantly realized that this was the law of this world.

These star points represent the most original power between heaven and earth. For a cultivator, being able to sense the existence of the laws is an extremely important step on the path of cultivation.

Although he cannot yet utilize the laws directly, his understanding of the laws has become clearer, which means that he can drive the Xuanbao in his hand more efficiently.

Now that he has broken through to the Mahayana stage, his understanding of the laws has become deeper, which is undoubtedly a great help in controlling Xuanbao.

If he were to use Xuan Bao against the enemy again, even if he only used his fusion-level skills, the power would definitely be more than ten times as powerful.

"Ok?"

Sensing the movement outside the secret place, Chen An frowned slightly. It seemed that someone was fighting outside, and the noise was quite loud. It seemed that they were cultivators at the Mahayana level.

He immediately stood up and prepared to go out to take a look. Turning around, he saw that there was still some Nine Netherworld Milk left in the nine milk pools. He had an idea and waved his hand to collect it.

His breakthrough to the Mahayana stage consumed a huge amount of Nine Netherworld Milk, but fortunately, there was enough of this treasure, with about two pools left.

Walking out of the secret place, Chen An discovered that the Saint Ancestor of Extinction was fighting fiercely with Qin Tianxing.

Having seen the soul of the Saint Ancestor of Extinction before, he naturally recognized the other party!
However, I never expected that the other party would chase me here. It’s really a narrow road for enemies to meet.

The Holy Ancestor of Silence was like a ferocious beast, and every strike of his carried the power to destroy the world, suppressing Qin Tianxing firmly.

Although Qin Tianxing fought hard, he was obviously at a disadvantage. Seeing that Chen An had actually broken through to the Mahayana stage, he was filled with ecstasy. He shouted loudly, "Chen An, hurry up! There is a Golden Crow Mahayana town over in Dayo City. This old thief dare not go there!"

Upon hearing this, Chen An smiled lightly and shook his head slightly.

His eyes were as bright as torches, and he appeared on the battlefield in a flash. He immediately said to Qin Tianxing: "Senior Qin, please step back first. I will deal with this man!"

Qin Tianxing wanted to say something, but when he saw Chen An approaching, it was too late to stop him.

When Saint Ancestor Jiemie saw Chen An suddenly appear, a scornful smile appeared on his lips: "You are a youngster who has just broken through to the Mahayana stage and whose realm is not yet stable. You dare to come and die?"

Before he finished speaking, tensions were already drawn between the two men, and a war was about to break out.

The Holy Ancestor of Extinction moved and turned into a stream of light and attacked Chen An.

Chen An sneered, the true energy in his body surged, and the Eight Gates Divine Meridians began to operate.

He held Tu Ji Mountain in his hand, a powerful force surged in his body, and the Eight Gates Divine Meridians Technique circulated in his body at a high speed, pushing his strength to the peak.

The Saint Ancestor of Silence snorted coldly and took the first step. He formed seals with his hands and black air filled his body, transforming into ghostly shadows and rushing towards Chen An.

Chen An was not in a hurry. The power of the Eight Gates Divine Veins Art instantly exploded in his body. Tuji Mountain emitted a dazzling yellow light, like a giant mountain, pressing down and crushing all the ghost shadows.

When Saint Ancestor Silent saw this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he did not give up. Instead, he used his method again.

He was seen muttering something, and the black energy around him turned into a black dragon, rushing towards Chen An with destructive power.

The Tuji Mountain in Chen An's hand shone brightly. He swung the mountain, and it collided with the black dragon, making a deafening sound. Finally, the black dragon disintegrated and turned into wisps of black gas that dissipated in the air.

And in the black air, a bloody spear rushed out, and countless resentful souls were floating around it, which was very terrifying.

Chen An's heart moved, and the door in his dantian opened wide, releasing vigorous life energy, which enveloped the blood thorn and dispelled the evil energy around it.

"court death!"

The Saint Ancestor of Silence suffered a series of setbacks and seemed a little angry and humiliated, and a cloud of black gas spewed out of his mouth.

It slowly turned into a river as black as ink, and flowing in the river was black water that could corrode everything.

Upon seeing this, Chen An immediately activated Du Men's protective power, forming an indestructible barrier around him, blocking the erosion of the Styx.

Not only that, he took the opportunity to open the wound, and the Tu Ji Mountain in his hand turned into a golden stream of light, which directly penetrated the Styx and completely broke the magical powers of the Saint Ancestor of Extinction.

Upon seeing this, Saint Ancestor Silent became even more furious, and he once again sacrificed a mysterious treasure.

This is the Nine Netherworld Furnace, a treasure that can refine all things. Once activated, it can spew out blazing underworld fire and burn everything.

It is the most proud treasure of the Saint Ancestor of Nirvana!
Chen An was not in a hurry. He opened the Jingmen and released endless thunder and lightning power. He was surrounded by lightning and it collided with the Nether Fire, causing a deafening explosion.

The power of thunder and lightning and the power of underworld fire canceled each other out, and eventually both turned into nothingness.

When the Saint Ancestor of Extinction was at a loss, Chen An sneered, and the Tuji Mountain in his hand turned into a huge mountain, carrying boundless gravity, and smashed towards the Saint Ancestor of Extinction.

His figure flashed, and at an extremely strange speed, he rushed in front of the Holy Ancestor of Silence, and punched out, hitting the opponent's chest.

He immediately pulled it out, pulling out the other person's soul.

The Holy Ancestor Jiemie struggled in Chen An's big hand, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not escape Chen An's grip.

Chen An glanced at the other party coldly, his palms filled with lightning, and the next moment, the Saint Ancestor Jiemie became motionless.

Immediately, the remains of the Holy Ancestor of Silence fell to the ground with a loud bang and turned into dust, as if the last ray of afterglow in the sky disappeared into the darkness.

Qin Tianxing stood not far away, his eyes full of disbelief.

Although the Saint Ancestor of Silent Destruction was just an ordinary Mahayana cultivator, he was also a well-known strong man at this level. Yet, he fell at the hands of Chen An.

He had fought with the opponent several times before, but due to the difference in strength, he was defeated every time. It was also thanks to his accumulation over the years that he was able to escape every time.

However, at this moment, he looked at Chen An's figure with a complicated expression in his eyes.

"Chen An, you kid..."

Qin Tianxing's words were full of excitement, "I didn't expect that you would have such strength just after breaking through to the Mahayana stage!"

Chen An smiled slightly and looked around: "It was just luck. If Saint Ancestor Jiemie hadn't underestimated the enemy, the outcome would still be unknown."

Qin Tianxing shook his head but didn't say anything. He had just seen Chen An's strength clearly, and the other party was obviously being modest.

Although Chen An's cultivation has just reached the Mahayana realm, his strength exceeds that of ordinary Mahayana cultivators.

"Where are Miaohuang and Jin Yan?" Chen An suddenly asked.

Qin Tianxing replied: "When I was resisting the Saint Ancestor of Silence just now, they had already returned to Day Sun City."

His expression changed, and he immediately asked in a deep voice: "By the way, after you broke through, how much Nine Netherworld Milk was left?"

Chen An nodded slightly, but seeing that Qin Tianxing was quite concerned about the Nine Netherworld Milk, he smiled gently.

Such rare treasures are rarely seen even for those who are in the Mahayana stage.
