Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 1806 - Capítulo 1806: 1372: Fruit Position

The dark of night was suddenly shattered by a brilliant flash of lightning, drawing the gaze of countless living beings throughout the realm.

Most observers didn't pay it much mind, assuming it was a routine thunder tribulation. Within the Primal Spirit Realm, such occurrences are a daily event, causing most to simply glance away after a brief moment.

However, for the Earth Immortal Dao cultivators stationed near Shen, the sight brought a staggering shock and a rising sense of dread.

One must remember that the Earth Immortal Dao followers who accompanied him into the starry sky belong to the Demon Spirit Clan. Since their true forms are primarily wood and grass spiritual objects, they possess an instinctive, deep-seated terror of thunder and fire.

Nearby Star Gods were also dismissive at first, but their indifference turned to alarm as they sensed the growing aura of destruction. They quickly realized this was no ordinary trial, but the ascent of someone attempting to reach the Heavenly Immortal stage!

“Does that not belong to the Earth Immortal Dao's territory? How can this be? That Sect was established only a few years ago, yet a Heavenly Immortal is already being born?”

“With such incredible talent, it is no wonder they were permitted to open a branch within the Immortal Dao.”

“If the Earth Immortal Dao can truly accelerate Cultivation, perhaps I should consider dual cultivating their path to bolster my own strength.”

Shock and envy rippled through the onlookers, while some began to calculate how this development might benefit their own interests.

Regardless of their private thoughts, everyone rushed toward the heart of the storm at their maximum speed. While minor trials are common, a Heavenly Immortal Tribulation is a rare event that might offer profound insights to those who witness it.

“Li Chengsheng!”

Upon the Sun Star, Li Yang and Yang Li urgently pounded on a closed door, backed by a group of subordinate gods.

“What has occurred?” Li Chengsheng asked a moment later as he opened the door, his expression filled with curiosity.

“Mr. Shen is currently facing his tribulation; shouldn't we go to provide protection?”

Hearing the news, a flicker of surprise crossed his face. No one had anticipated that Shen would reach this pinnacle so rapidly, achieving such a feat in just over a millennium—a truly remarkable accomplishment.

“We must go immediately!”

With those words, Li Chengsheng transformed into a streak of rainbow light and soared away from the Sun Star. He happened to encounter Li Chengshuo along the way, and the two raced together toward the site of the tribulation.

Rumble—

The very moment they arrived, the first bolt of lightning tore through the swirling tribulation clouds.

The lightning burned with the intensity of a raging wildfire, staining the entire sky a deep, fiery crimson.

“Is that the Nine-layered Heavenly Fire Thunder Tribulation?”

Li Chengshuo’s face paled instantly. Shen’s true form is a Spirit Ginseng, making him naturally vulnerable to the fire attribute. Yet, the Heavens had seen fit to strike him with a fire-based tribulation, and one of the most devastating varieties at that.

Many of the watching Star Gods realized the same thing, their expressions turning to regret. They had expected to witness the rise of the Earth Immortal Dao's first Heavenly Immortal, but now it seemed they would only witness a failure.

“Why has it manifested like this? This makes no sense!” Mu’s anxiety was so thick it was almost tangible.

Shenling was known to possess some of the greatest merit and fortune under the heavens. Instead of the Heavenly Dao easing his path, the difficulty of the thunder tribulation had been increased. It was a bizarre turn of events.

Li Chengsheng grasped Mu’s meaning immediately, his brow furrowed as he searched for an explanation.

“I believe I understand the reason,” Li Chengshuo remarked.

“This isn't about a lack of merit or luck; in fact, those factors may have already played their part.”

“Then why is he facing the Heavenly Fire Thunder Tribulation, which specifically targets Shen’s weaknesses?” Mu demanded.

“Because Mr. Shen is the founding ancestor of the Earth Immortal Dao and the very first of its kind to seek Heavenly Immortal status. The Heavenly Dao is testing the foundation. If he triumphs, the Earth Immortal Dao’s legacy will be perfected and complete. If he falls, Mr. Shen will simply perish and cease to exist.”

“This...”

As they considered his words, the logic became clear.

But knowing the reason changed nothing. The thunder tribulation was underway, and interference was impossible. Everything now rested on Shen’s ability to survive on his own.

Facing the onslaught, Shen remained remarkably poised. Not even the attribute-restraining nature of the lightning could shake his composure.

His hands moved in a series of seals, summoning massive mountains from the void to serve as shields before him.

Crash—

The lightning slammed into the barriers, shattering rock and earth. Debris rained down, rapidly forming a new hill upon the star's surface.

In this initial clash, Shen emerged victorious, successfully draining the spiritual energy of the first strike.

“Since when did Mr. Shen become so skilled in Earth Element Divine Powers?”

Mu was bewildered; he had never seen Shen utilize such techniques before, yet the man displayed master-level proficiency.

They didn't have time to ponder it, however. It was a welcome surprise that significantly boosted Shen’s chances of a successful breakthrough.

The second, third, fourth, and fifth strikes followed...

The bolts of heavenly fire descended in a relentless barrage. There was no breathing room as flames poured from the heavens like rain, seemingly intent on leaving Shen no path of retreat.

Despite the lethal danger, Shen remained focused. He handled each bolt with orderly precision, and though his appearance became slightly disheveled, he did not falter.

The Star Gods who had predicted his certain demise were left speechless. They watched in disbelief as he endured the storm with such apparent ease, persisting far longer than any of them had thought possible.
