Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

As the words fell, everyone’s faces turned peculiar.

”So Miss Xuanzhao means that the tribulation is a special kind of trial?” Zhu Jiu asked.

Mao Qi said, ”There’s no need for Miss to say, we can see that as well.”

Xie Xuanzhao smiled, ”To be exact, it is the essential power within the tribulation that allows people to evolve and transform.”

”My teacher is very obsessed with tribulations, has conducted extensive research on them, and proposed a theory that the advancement trial is actually derived from the power within the tribulation that allows people to evolve and transform, or to put it in more modern terms, the advancement trial is the datafication of the tribulation!”

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu’s brow furrowed wildly, and a tidal wave surged in his heart.

The advancement trial is the datafication of the tribulation?

He had never thought there could be such a connection between the two!

He didn’t expect that he would obtain such a startling secret during this trial!

But what about the peculiar characteristics of the tribulation?

Chu Xiu’s mind whirled with countless thoughts, while others seemed less interested, and Mao Qi lost patience entirely, saying, ”How does this help us pass?”

Xie Xuanzhao gathered her smile and said, ”If you don’t understand the traits of the tribulation, how can you estimate the special nature of the tribulation bearer? Does Brother Mao really think that the tribulation bearers are just stronger awakened ones to fight against?”

Mao Qi was at a loss for words. He had considered this too, but lacked information on the tribulation, so thinking more about it was futile.

He snorted softly, ”So does Miss know the characteristics of the tribulation bearers?”

Xie Xuanzhao shook her head. Mao Qi was about to mock her when she flipped her wrist, revealing a tortoise shell: ”However, I have divined for us. If we proceed to battle Brother Chen here, it will be a great misfortune.”

The moment she said this, everyone realized the meaning behind Xie Xuanzhao’s earlier mention of a great misfortune, and their expressions changed.

Xie Xuanzhao continued, ”The forms of tribulation are numerous, and different cultivation methods can trigger different tribulations. I once read in an ancient book from the [Era of Ten Thousand Races] about a profession named [Cultivators], who would endure seven great tribulations from mortal to Dao, namely the Disease Purging Tribulation, Desire Tribulation, Deluded Mind Tribulation, Demonic Realm Tribulation, Vacuum Tribulation, Bone Changing Tribulation, and Bitter Sea Tribulation.”

”And the manifestations of these seven tribulations perfectly correspond to our rules!”

”If I’m not mistaken, the previous two attacks against us could replicate the Deluded Mind Tribulation of mental demons and the Disease Purging Tribulation that causes physical decay.”

”So, aside from containing the power to elevate levels, tribulations also encompass various rule powers. Hence, I speculate that Chen, as a tribulation bearer, likely possesses the ability to resist rules with his true form.”

As these words fell, everyone recalled that when facing the Law of Cancer Transformation, Mu Tuo and others were directly transformed, while Chu Xiu’s surface only grew pustules! Initially, everyone assumed it was due to Chu Xiu’s high constitution, but now it seems like some form of rule resistance!

Moreover, the divine techniques he later employed clearly interfere with rules. Otherwise, the summoned creatures’ life force wouldn’t be sufficient to exhaust the scarlet mist!

But this fact is too unbelievable. It is known that in everyone’s understanding, only a God’s divine power can resist rules! There are no exceptions, not even divine envoys!

The confrontation among those holding rule power is not merely a contest of brute strength or energy levels. In an opponent’s rule domain, no matter how high your attributes are, you cannot shake the rule in the slightest.

Heroic Spirits possessing divine authority in advance is something beyond their imagination, also the reason no one noticed this point.

Who exactly is this tribulation bearer? Who is this Chen Ce?

And after the initial shock, silence followed.

If Chen Ce can resist rules, they lose their most relied-on trump card, significantly reducing their chances of victory.

Xie Xuanzhao continued, ”Let me ask you all, has Brother Chen ever made a killing move? Or used rules?”

”Without knowing his rules, why do you think you can win? Do you think Brother Chen, as a tribulation bearer, would lack a trump card?”

”Most importantly, even if Brother Chen can’t defeat us, he won’t escape?”

Xie Xuanzhao’s words made everyone’s faces even more darkened.

They calculated clearly, among the seven, four have already been eroded by the Law of Cancer Transformation, unable to fully exert their rule power, leaving only Xie Xuanzhao’s Law of Destiny, Mao Qi’s Law of Transformation, and Zhu Jiu’s Law of Destruction.

Though these three laws are top-tier, they do not have the ability to trap enemies, and if Chu Xiu truly has a resistance to rules, it’s extremely difficult to keep him.

Xie Xuanzhao continued, ”And once Brother Chen escapes, we fall into a double-loss situation. Now Brother Tuoba cannot quickly activate rules again, Brother Mu, Brother Shagu, and Brother Remnant Demon are all affected by the Law of Cancer Transformation, and without Brother Chen’s help, do you think you can withstand the Tribulation Thunder Divinity Transformation risking two more tribulations?”

Again, everyone fell silent.

After some time, it was Mao Qi’s low voice that first broke the silence: ”So that’s why we have to seize the moment when this person is greatly depleted and fight desperately. If we drag on, we become more passive; or are you suggesting we join him to combat the Tribulation Thunder Divinity Transformation?”
