Chunibyo in Cultivation World

The battle situation that had originally tended toward balance due to the addition of Li Tianwei’s Saint Soul Banner was overturned once again.

Through a secret art jointly executed by three peak Union Realm ancestors, they obtained the might and power of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.

This was the very pinnacle of combat power in the present cultivation world, and once a cultivator stepped into the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, they would have to constantly prepare for Ascension, making it fundamentally impossible for them to appear in the world.

Even without the Evil Demons sealing them, they would not emerge, because the Ascension Tribulation was waiting at every moment.

Yet now, the secret art jointly performed by these three peak Union Realm ancestors had granted them the power of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm. No matter what, the difference of a single realm was no longer something that could be made up for.

Upon witnessing this scene, the Sacred Lord of Lingxu and the others all underwent a drastic change in expression.

Even the Ancestor of Heavenly Blood could not help but frown. As someone who had personally experienced the Tribulation Transcendence Realm—complete control over the power of laws, an undying primordial spirit, and the might to overturn the Dharma—he understood the gap between the two most clearly.

And the reason he had fallen back was also very simple: he was not qualified.

The Ancestor of Heavenly Blood could not withstand the formless pressure of Heaven and Earth, nor the ever-present intimidation of the Ascension Tribulation.

In the end, when the Evil Demons invaded, his Heart Demon invaded as well. For that reason, he had completely severed it, falling to the peak of the Union Realm, not even as strong as his former peak Union Realm self.

Because he no longer possessed the talent and resolve he ought to have had.

The Ancestor of Heavenly Blood knew very clearly what his future outcome would be—continual regression in realm until his lifespan was exhausted.

Thus, he wanted to gamble once, to plunder the fortune of those children of destiny and see whether it could allow him to step into that level once more.

And as a result, he encountered Li Tianwei.

“It seems I will soon be free.”

“Worthy indeed of a Sacred Land that has existed for tens of thousands of years and produced those who Ascended.”

The Ancestor of Heavenly Blood sighed with emotion.

On the other side, the Sacred Lord of Lingxu wore an extremely gloomy expression. At this moment, he could be said to be both furious and humiliated.

“I knew it, I knew it.”

“These old fellows were hiding something, yet they told me that the power of Tribulation Transcendence must face constant heavenly pressure and was difficult to obtain.”

“They actually hid such a method. I am the Sacred Lord of Lingxu, yet they treated me like this—damn it.”

The furious words of the Sacred Lord of Lingxu erupted forth, showing just how terrifying the power of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm truly was.

As the strongest force in the cultivation world today, the authority of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm was the greatest of all.

Under the corrosion of rage, the hand seals in the Sacred Lord of Lingxu’s hands surged wildly and fell upon the two Union Realm ancestors.

Unfortunately, he was not Li Tianwei. To fight two opponents of the same realm alone already demonstrated the height of his talent.

As the secret art of the three peak Union Realm cultivators was activated, heavenly might manifested. Constant heavenly pressure descended, and beneath the rolling black clouds, everything became incomparably minuscule.

At this moment, the manifestations of the three secret-art users fused together. Above them, a three-headed, six-armed Dharma Body looked down upon Li Tianwei below.

Even Li Tianwei’s Nascent Soul, when compared to it, appeared extremely tiny, as though they stood above the heavens, at an unknown height of tens of thousands of zhang.

“Why bother, Li Tianwei?”

“If you had simply waited until your realm improved a little more, we would naturally have yielded our positions then. The entire Sacred Land of Lingxu would have been yours.”

From within the overlooking manifestation came the combined voice of the three, sounding faintly tinged with an electromagnetic resonance.

Even when facing the changes in the heavens, and the Tribulation Transcendence power formed by the fusion of three peak Union Realm cultivators, Li Tianwei’s expression remained the same, undisturbed by this turn of events.

At this moment, Li Tianwei was still confident, looking down upon all things in the world, even the Tribulation Transcendence power that stood at the very apex of the cultivation world.

And just as the three great peak Union Realm ancestors believed that Li Tianwei had completely submitted to this power and was directly facing death—

Li Tianwei slightly opened his mouth, and a sentence that left others puzzled emerged from his lips.

“Have you ever seen the scene of starfall beyond the heavens?”

As this simple sentence fell, for reasons unknown, the three peak Union Realm ancestors who had fused through the secret art suddenly felt a powerful force of attraction.

And this force came from that still-standing, ashen Nascent Soul.

“Not good.”

Sensing this change, in the eyes of those Union Realm ancestors, it meant that Li Tianwei was about to smash the jar and drag everyone into burial together.

They had not forgotten that Li Tianwei had used this very method in West-Ling City to suppress the Ancestor of Heavenly Blood.

What they did not know was that the Ancestor of Heavenly Blood had not died in that eruption, but had escaped—only to be captured again by Li Tianwei afterward.

The Ancestor of Heavenly Blood looked at the power transmitted from within the Nascent Soul. The energy contained within it was not the same world-overturning destructive force that Li Tianwei had unleashed in West-Ling City before, but instead inclined toward something else entirely.

A kind of power he had never imagined, never encountered.

“The scene of starfall?”

The Ancestor of Heavenly Blood could not help but murmur.

As cultivators, they had all seen the starry sky beyond those scattered points of light. What great might could they possibly possess? It was better to cultivate diligently instead.

Yet Li Tianwei, who came from another world and possessed boundless knowledge and cognition, knew very well that in the vast universe, the power released by falling stars could erupt with infinite might—gamma-ray bursts capable of piercing interstellar space, instantly annihilating countless stars as vast as the cultivation world itself.

World-destroying power.

And there were also black holes of unknowable mass, endlessly devouring all matter in the universe, as well as forces opposite to them.

Antimatter, dark matter, and the fundamental forces that forged all of this.

Cognition, understanding, practice, creation……

And now, the power of cultivation had given Li Tianwei the opportunity to apply those things to himself.

The Fusion Golden Core was like a star. Endless spiritual power underwent qualitative change within it, and at the moment when a star’s lifespan was exhausted, the collapse that released all of its energy……

All of this, Li Tianwei could also bring into reality.

Collapse was the beginning of destruction, but likewise the beginning of all rebirth and qualitative transformation.

All things had two sides.

“Isn’t the Nascent Soul exactly that?”

“Then look well upon the scene of celestial fall!”

Li Tianwei raised both hands and murmured softly.

As Li Tianwei’s words fell, the ashen Nascent Soul standing high in the heavens suddenly began to move.

The Nascent Soul slowly bent its knees, clasped its arms around them, and deeply lowered its head.

At the same time, crack after crack surfaced upon its ashen skin.

“Scripture of Supreme Virtue and Radiant Purity……”

Li Tianwei muttered. In an instant, the sky turned white, and a power of utmost purity surged forth from Li Tianwei’s body.

“Not good, not good……”

“What kind of power is this……”

The colors of Heaven and Earth dissolved. Under the sudden transformation of Li Tianwei’s Nascent Soul, the world itself seemed to sink.

These Union Realm ancestors instinctively sensed danger, threads of despair revealing themselves.

“Die for me.”

At this moment, the Tribulation Manifestation forged by the Union secret art had all three heads and six arms strike down together toward Li Tianwei, attempting to stop his next action.

Boom——

The Nascent Soul hugged its knees, reenacting the Golden Core……
