Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 1807 - 1372: Fruit Position (Part 2)

"Is it possible for him to endure this trial and ascend as a Heavenly Immortal?"

As this thought crossed their minds, a wave of envy and resentment washed over the gathered Star Gods.

However, their jealousy remained internal; no one dared to interfere with Shen’s Tribulation Transcendence.

The presence of two formidable Heavenly Immortal Star Gods, Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo, served as a lethal deterrent. Any attempt to sabotage the process would result in immediate execution.

Even for those who might manage to flee, no faction was willing to provoke the wrath of the Sun God and Moon God over such a matter.

Boom!

Suddenly, the eighth Heavenly Fire Tribulation Thunder descended.

A pillar of flame, as massive as a column supporting the heavens, erupted from the dark clouds, appearing like a divine punishment destined to erase Shen from existence.

The intense heat wave forced the distant Earth Immortal Dao cultivators to retreat several paces, and even the Star Gods struggled against the blistering temperature.

Shen reacted with composure; casting a spell, he commanded the vast debris of earth and stone to coalesce into a titan standing a hundred meters tall.

This Earth Stone Giant rose from the soil, and at his silent behest, it gathered immense Spiritual Energy into its palms to manifest a colossal stone hammer.

Confronting the descending Tribulation Thunder, the giant gripped the hammer and swung with devastating force.

A thunderous explosion followed as the stone weapon collided with the lightning, sending a violent shockwave rippling through the environment.

"Be careful!"

Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo moved instantly, neutralizing the blast to ensure the safety of those nearby.

Their intervention wasn't born of pure altruism; rather, they feared that if the Star Gods were struck, their stray Spiritual Energy might leak into the Thunder Tribulation's field. Such an interference would amplify the tribulation's power, potentially causing Shen to fail and face total annihilation.

Crack!

Ultimately, the stone hammer succumbed to the pressure and shattered. Debris rained down and dust billowed, obscuring the view of Shen and the lightning storm.

"Break!"

With a guttural roar, the Earth Stone Giant lunged forward, raining a barrage of heavy fist strikes upon the Tribulation Thunder like a tropical downpour.

The exchange ended with both the giant's arm and the lightning bolt fracturing into pieces; shortly after, the remnants of the thunder faded into nothingness.

"Only the final Tribulation Thunder remains!"

The observers held their breath in anticipation, their faces etched with gravity as if they were the ones standing in the eye of the storm.

Whew—

A sudden, eerie gale began to howl, signaling the arrival of the final strike.

The dense tribulation clouds seemed to rupture as the lightning poured down like molten magma. The scorching heat was so intense it seemed to boil the very fabric of space, igniting the air itself.

Faced with such overwhelming power, the previously stoic Shen finally showed a flicker of trepidation.

However, remembering the guidance of Li Zhirui, he steadied his mind and consumed several top-grade Immortal Pills. This immediately triggered a violent surge of mana within his Dantian.

Following this, a radiance of earthy spirit light manifested, summoning a mountain over a thousand meters high directly above him.

In an instant, the Earth Stone Giant reappeared atop the peak, its legs merging with the stone. Its stature grew even more imposing, and the hammer in its grasp glowed with renewed spirit light.

As the first stream of Heavenly Fire cascaded down, the giant swung its hammer, extinguishing the flame instantly.

The magma-like lightning followed, eventually drowning the giant in a sea of fire.

Sizzle—

The extreme heat carved deep gouges into the mountain's surface upon impact.

Under this relentless assault, the massive mountain began to visibly erode and shrink.

Despite this, Shen’s anxiety faded, replaced by a confident smile.

"Rise!"

His fingers danced in intricate seals, weaving mysterious spells that infused the mountain with spirit light.

Rumble—

The great peak trembled as massive fissures opened across its surface. Hundreds of smaller stone giants emerged from the cracks, physically grappling with the flowing magma.

Under the influence of his spells, they gained the strength to withstand the Heavenly Fire.

As Shen continued his incantations, the shrinking mountain surged upward once more, piercing into the heart of the Heavenly Fire Tribulation Thunder.

The army of giants swung their weapons, snuffing out the flames one by one.

Eventually, the final spark was severed by a stone blade and vanished into the wind.

As a practitioner of the Earth Immortal Dao supported by a Cave Heaven, Shen’s endurance was nearly limitless—especially after being bolstered by top-grade Immortal Pills.

"He succeeded!"

Cheers erupted from the crowd, including the Star Gods. They had not only witnessed the birth of a Heavenly Immortal but had also gained profound insights from observing such a high-level Thunder Tribulation.

When a beam of black light descended and entered Shen’s body, everyone knew the final trial—the Heart Demon Tribulation—had commenced.

Shen was well-prepared for this. The Li family placed heavy emphasis on the Dao Heart and Mental State; even during his years of solitary Cultivation, he had never neglected these foundations.

While he didn't immediately recognize the Heart Demon's illusion, it wasn't long before Shen sensed the inconsistencies within the mental realm.

Once a flaw is identified, an illusion loses its power.

In less than two hours, he shattered the mental construct and eradicated the Heart Demon.

Immediately, the dark tribulation clouds transformed into a pillar of pure Spiritual Energy, bathing Shen in its light.

During his breakthrough, the star linked to his Cave Heaven radiated a brilliant glow.

It stood out sharply against the night sky, its luminosity briefly eclipsing even the Taiyin Star.

The spectators watched in awe as the Cave Heaven expanded and its Spiritual Energy thickened, with the associated Star sharing in the transformation.

Buzz—

Just as the process seemed to conclude, the resonant hum of the Laws echoed through the air.

A golden cloud swept across the sky, hovering over Shen before merging into his Sea of Consciousness.

"Could that be..."

Sensing the unique aura, Li Chengsheng spoke with uncertainty, "Is that the Heavenly Fruit Position?"

"It is! The Heavenly Dao has formally acknowledged Mr. Shen as the Earth Immortal Ancestor!" Li Chengshuo replied with an excited nod.

A Heavenly Fruit Position was a rarity of the highest order.

Possessing it meant holding a portion of the world's luck and merit, marking one as a favored entity of the Heavenly Dao.

Among the myriad deities of the Divine Path, only the six Emperors, including Emperor Ziwei, held such a Fruit Position.

Even Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo, despite being the Sun and Moon Gods, held only Divine Positions, not Fruit Positions.

Such an honor was reserved for those who pioneered a new path of Cultivation or rendered monumental service to the Primal Spirit Realm.

Shen was momentarily stunned by the magnitude of this reward.

"What? Has the joy made you lose your words?" Mu teased as he flew toward him.

"It is quite overwhelming! This is a true Fruit Position. Many legendary figures never achieve this, yet I have attained it!"

Shen laughed, adding, "With this status, the Earth Immortal Dao will flourish, and the Demon Spirit Clan will prosper alongside it."

"Still focused only on the Demon Spirit Clan? As the Earth Immortal Ancestor, your teachings should now be for all living beings," Mu remarked.

"Hahaha..." Shen chuckled softly; he hadn't reached such a level of selflessness yet.

Mu understood his friend's nature and chose not to press the point in front of the others.

"Congratulations, Mr. Shen, on reaching the Heavenly Immortal realm and attaining the status of Earth Immortal Ancestor!" Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo approached to offer their respects.

"I am grateful for your protection during my trial," Shen replied.
