Chapter 281 Tribulation Transcending to the 8th Rank
.......
In Lin Hanzhou's previous life in the United States, a century was the passing of twenty presidents.
But for the old monsters of the Tianxuan Realm who often secluded themselves for thousands of years, it was just a blink of an eye, the time it took to take a nap.
For the past century, the Tianxuan Realm has appeared calm and peaceful on the surface.
The seven holy lands remain supreme, maintaining a balance of power among themselves.
The major first-class sects and aristocratic families are also carefully maintaining their respective balance of interests.
But beneath the calm surface of the lake, undercurrents were already surging.
Because, over the past century, Lin Hanzhou has been like an omnipresent ghost, silently infiltrating every corner of the Tianxuan Realm.
Whether it's the seven sacred lands that stand high above, or the top sects and reclusive families that are second only to the sacred lands...
Each of them has an additional ordinary disciple, steward, or guest elder named "Lin Hanzhou".
For Lin Hanzhou, who possesses the [Thousand Illusions Without Form], infiltrating these forces is easier than drinking water.
Over the past century, he has been like a diligent farmer, frantically sowing his own "backstab" seeds across the vast land of the Heavenly Profound Realm.
He only needs to wait for the right opportunity to reap the rewards that will allow him to rise to the top in one step.
……
Besides his strategic planning for the world, he also diligently pursued his own cultivation.
During his century-long seclusion, he triggered three opportunities for enlightenment thanks to his golden talent, [Inevitable Enlightenment].
With his first epiphany, he completely perfected the movement technique "Shadowless Chaotic Steps," which he had already deduced to the "pseudo-heavenly rank," and upgraded it to the true - low-grade heavenly rank movement technique "Void Chaotic Steps"!
Once this movement technique is used, it can ignore spatial distance and even traverse the void turbulence in a short time. Its speed is so fast that even an eighth-level expert can only look on in the dust.
In his second epiphany, he elevated the explosive secret technique "Three Forms of Reversing Meridians," which had extremely severe side effects, to a new level—the mid-grade Heaven-rank secret technique "Reversing Yin and Yang Technique"!
Although there is still a cost, the side effects are greatly reduced, and the power it unleashes increases exponentially.
During his third enlightenment, he elevated the "Thousand Illusions Without Form," a technique capable of simulating the aura of all things, to the lower rank of the Heavenly Realm.
Previously, he might have been able to be seen through when facing a powerful eighth-level expert.
Now, this secret technique can perfectly conceal his aura, and no one below the ninth rank can see through it.
Unless the other party also cultivates a Heaven-rank technique specifically for detection and perfects it, there is no chance of seeing through him.
At this point, all of Lin Hanzhou's cultivation techniques and martial arts skills had been upgraded to the Heavenly Rank.
……
The westernmost part of the Tianxuan Realm.
The Primordial Demon Abyss.
This place is recognized as one of the three forbidden zones in the Tianxuan Realm.
This place is shrouded in endless demonic energy all year round, and countless terrifying ancient demonic beasts dwell here.
Even the most powerful seventh-tier experts in the outside world will have their minds corrupted by the overwhelming demonic energy here, turning them into a part of this demonic abyss.
Even powerful eighth-tier experts risk being corrupted by demonic energy and dare not enter this place rashly.
However, for Lin Hanzhou, entering this place felt like coming home.
Those demonic energies posed no threat to him at all; he simply refined and controlled them.
The ferocious ancient monsters completely ignored him, seemingly regarding him as one of their own kind.
It is precisely for this reason that the Primordial Demon Abyss became his ideal "place to transcend tribulation".
At this moment, Lin Hanzhou, dressed in black, sat quietly deep within the Demon Abyss.
He slowly raised his head, his deep eyes piercing through layers of demonic mist as he looked at the pitch-black sky.
He could clearly feel the terrifying power that had been accumulating to its limit within his body was frantically assaulting the shackles known as "Eighth Order".
"Let's begin!"
A glint flashed in Lin Hanzhou's eyes, and he stopped suppressing his cultivation.
"boom--!!!"
A vast and boundless aura erupted from his body in an instant, soaring straight into the sky.
"Snap! Snap!"
The surrounding space shattered like fragile glass under the impact of this aura.
At the same time, the sky above the already dark and gloomy Ancient Demon Abyss suddenly changed color.
Endless dark clouds, as if summoned by some unseen force, converged wildly.
Among them were countless dark purple lightning bolts exuding a destructive aura, rolling and roaring in the clouds!
A terrifying divine might, powerful enough to annihilate any seventh-level cultivator, descended with a deafening roar.
Lin Hanzhou showed no fear whatsoever; instead, a smile full of anticipation appeared on his lips.
"Boom—!"
It was accompanied by a deafening clap of thunder.
The first bolt of lightning, as thick as a bucket, tore through the sky like a sword of divine punishment, and struck down fiercely towards Lin Hanzhou.
"Well done!"
Lin Hanzhou neither dodged nor avoided, and did not even use any defensive magic treasures.
He directly activated the golden talent – [Primordial Unity].
"In control!"
"absorb!"
Just as that terrifying lightning tribulation was about to touch his body...
"Buzz—!"
A strange fluctuation emanated from Lin Hanzhou's body.
The lightning tribulation that should have been violent became incredibly docile the moment it came into contact with this fluctuation.
It was like a tamed little lamb, obediently merging into Lin Hanzhou's body, transforming into streams of extremely pure thunderous primordial power, which began to frantically temper his physical body and soul.
"Ouch...that feels good!"
Lin Hanzhou felt a tingling sensation all over his body, every cell cheering and greedily absorbing this gift from the heavens.
"really!"
"This is the correct way to undergo tribulation!"
Lin Hanzhou's smile grew even brighter.
What would be a near-death experience for others was, for him, the most precious "tonic" in the world.
"Again!"
The sky seemed to have heard his provocation.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The tribulation clouds in the sky became even more violent, and one terrifying lightning bolt after another fell like raindrops.
Each one was more terrifying and more deadly than the last!
However, no matter how violent or fierce the lightning tribulation was.
Before the unreasonable golden talent 【Primordial Unity】, everyone else is just easy prey.
The tenth... the twentieth... the fiftieth...
Lin Hanzhou was like a bottomless pit, accepting all comers and devouring and refining all the lightning tribulations!
His physical body, tempered by the endless thunder, became increasingly translucent, radiating a faint golden light, like an immortal golden body.
His soul also became more refined and pure, as if it could break free from his body at any moment and roam the vast void.
……
Finally, the eightieth lightning tribulation was completely absorbed by Lin Hanzhou.
At this moment, he was bathed in lightning, like an ancient god-king who controlled thunder. His aura was so strong that it had already surpassed the peak of the seventh rank by many times.
