Chapter 1944: The Nirvana Tribulation

In the secret chamber, Ye Yuan gently opened the small bottle.

A refreshing fragrance of medicine instantly filled the entire room.

“The Resting Spirit Thousand Tribulation Chaos Elixir probably won’t be enough to let me reach the perfect Six Revolutions Golden Body. If I add the True Dragon’s blood, I wonder if it will be possible.”

Ye Yuan did not hesitate and swallowed the Thousand Tribulation Chaos Elixir in one gulp.

As the elixir entered his stomach, Ye Yuan’s eyes flew wide open, and a sharp pain instantly spread through his entire body, all the way to his crown.

Ye Yuan grimaced in pain and muttered to himself, “As expected of the Thousand Tribulation Chaos Elixir, reshaping the flesh and nirvana rebirth!”

The Thousand Tribulation Chaos Elixir was famous for the word “thousand tribulations.”

Swallowing this elixir was equivalent to suffering a thousand tribulations, unbearable to the point of wishing for death.

Even a peak Fifth Revolution Golden Body expert would not dare to recklessly swallow such a potent elixir.

One misstep would lead to death and the dissipation of the Dao.

A peak Fifth Revolution expert’s flesh was comparable to a peak divine celestial treasure, showing how powerful their body was.

Yet even so, they might not be able to withstand the medicinal impact of the Thousand Tribulation Chaos Elixir.

This elixir was too fierce.

Of course, its effects were also extremely strong.

And the Resting Spirit Divine Elixir that Ye Yuan had taken was also specially prepared for himself.

But even he had not expected to refine the Resting Spirit Thousand Tribulation Chaos Elixir.

Cultivation methods have strengths and weaknesses; for martial artists at the same realm, the purity of their divine essence differs, and the power of the martial techniques they execute is not the same.

The same was true for the Nine Revolutions Golden Body.

However, each revolution of the Nine Revolutions Golden Body had a legendary level—the perfect level!

Each revolution of the Nine Revolutions Golden Body was equivalent to a nirvana.

According to legend, when the Nine Revolutions Golden Body was first created, each revolution was a life-and-death tribulation.

Martial artists needed to shatter their flesh, absorb the power of the Heavenly Dao, and reshape their golden body!

This was a very dangerous cultivation method, but also one of great power.

However, this method of ninefold nirvana cultivation was too perilous, with an extremely high mortality rate.

Moreover, the more revolutions one underwent, the more dangerous it became.

By the sixth and seventh revolutions, very few could survive.

As for the eighth revolution, the Heavenly Emperor realm, those who achieved it were even rarer.

Later, people gradually found a method of nine revolutions that did not require nirvana.

This method was a compromise, but it still granted powerful strength.

However, compared to the perfect golden body, it was clearly far inferior.

It was only after breaking through to the fifth revolution that Ye Yuan obtained this cultivation method from the True Dragon’s memories.

The True Dragon Dharma Body was the supreme cultivation method of the dragon race, but the method for the perfect golden body had not been mentioned in the earlier techniques.

Ye Yuan only learned of it after his fifth revolution.

“Ye Yuan, have you thought this through? Your dragon race hid this method to prevent younger disciples from recklessly cultivating and losing their lives. Moreover, you haven’t tempered a perfect golden body in any of your five revolutions. This time, for the sixth revolution, you’ll have to cross the five previous tribulations all at once!” Wuchen advised.

Ye Yuan broke out in cold sweat and said through gritted teeth, “The Great Dao is difficult! Without even the heart to seek the Dao, how can one speak of reaching the pinnacle?”

With that, Ye Yuan took out the jade bottle and poured all the True Dragon’s blood into his mouth.

Boom!

An extremely狂暴 energy instantly exploded within Ye Yuan’s body.

The terrifying energies of the True Dragon’s blood and the Resting Spirit Thousand Tribulation Chaos Elixir mixed together, nearly bursting Ye Yuan’s flesh apart.

Without any hesitation, Ye Yuan began to circulate according to the perfect golden body technique recorded in the True Dragon Dharma Body.

Ye Yuan gasped in pain, no longer able to even cry out.

He was using his strong will to circulate the technique.

The Thousand Tribulation Chaos Elixir lived up to its reputation.

Ye Yuan felt as if he had died countless times.

The life-and-death tribulations he had experienced before seemed so pale in comparison to this one.

“Ah… my hand!”

Suddenly, Ye Yuan let out a miserable scream.

He saw that the muscles on his hand were dissipating inch by inch, leaving only white bones.

Soon, Ye Yuan was reduced to a golden skeleton, looking ferocious.

Under this pain, Ye Yuan’s soul was nearly torn apart.

If not for the power of the Soul-Calming Pearl, Ye Yuan would have already scattered his soul.

Ye Yuan had not expected the nirvana tribulation to be so terrifying.

Soon, Ye Yuan’s golden bones also began to shatter, turning into powder as if weathered.

Logically, Ye Yuan should have dissipated without a trace and felt no pain.

But his pain did not diminish in the slightest; instead, it grew stronger.

Ye Yuan’s soul was very clear; he could feel the effects of the Thousand Tribulation Chaos Elixir beginning to take hold.

Every bit of his marrow was being transformed!

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Yuan felt the weathered bones reassemble into a human skeleton.

Then, flesh began to grow on the skeleton.

A living Ye Yuan reappeared.

Ye Yuan took a deep breath, feeling as if he had died once.

“Hoo… is this the nirvana tribulation? It’s too terrifying!” Ye Yuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, still shaken.

But Ye Yuan could feel that his body was indeed much stronger than before.

Suddenly, Ye Yuan’s expression changed, and an even more intense pain surged like a tidal wave.

His flesh dissipated again!

Ye Yuan knew that the second nirvana tribulation was about to begin!

Ye Yuan understood that he still had to undergo five more.

And each time would be more painful and more dangerous than the last.

…

While Ye Yuan was walking the edge of life and death, several years had passed in the outside world.

Before going into seclusion, Ye Yuan had refined a batch of Soul-Melting Dao Fusion Pills and then left everything aside.

One day, a terrifying aura suddenly descended over the Tianying Imperial City.

In the city, Bai Chen’s expression changed, and he immediately flew up to meet that aura.

“Who are you, and what business do you have at Tianying Imperial City?”

The man before him was surrounded by black qi, with a heavy murderous aura and no weak presence. Bai Chen did not dare to be careless.

“So you’re the kid who ate the Soul-Melting Dao Fusion Pill and broke through to the True God realm? I didn’t expect the rumors to be true—someone who swallowed a Dao Fruit can actually cultivate again!” The black-clad man sized up Bai Chen, clicking his tongue in admiration.

Bai Chen was startled and frowned, “I don’t understand what you’re talking about! We’re just a small imperial city; how could we have any Soul-Melting Dao Fusion Pill?”

Ye Yuan had cooperated with the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, claiming that the pill was refined by the pavilion.

Tianying was merely a small imperial city, utterly incapable of protecting the pill formula.

If someone with ulterior motives coveted it, trouble would be inevitable.

But Bai Chen had not expected that this black-clad man would still come looking!

The black-clad man chuckled and said, “Kid, stop pretending. Our Dead Soul Gate has received news that this pill was actually refined by a kid named Ye Yuan. That kid should be your master, right? Call him out! Otherwise, don’t blame me for starting a massacre!”
