Tribulation Transcendence.
It was the eighth realm of cultivation. Those who entered this realm could be called Earth Immortals, deriving immortal light amidst the destructive thunder, possessing unparalleled power.
Of course.
The dangers of this realm were unpredictable enough to terrify countless people.
The seven great realms of Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Soul Projection, and Manifestation of Holiness, although they also had nine levels each, were merely the accumulation of cultivation and the comprehension of the Dao.
But Tribulation Transcendence.
From the moment one stepped into this realm, one had to be prepared to be struck by lightning.
For each level advanced, one had to face a heavenly tribulation baptism, and the power of the tribulation would grow stronger and stronger.
If one successfully transcended the tribulation.
More immortal light and immortal energy would be born within the body, allowing one to travel further on the path of an Earth Immortal, possessing greater strength and a longer lifespan.
But if one failed, they would directly perish and their Dao would dissipate, a thousand years of cultivation gone in an instant.
Therefore.
Most Earth Immortals in Tribulation Transcendence, when facing the heavenly tribulation, were extremely cautious and terrified, some even preparing for their tribulation a hundred years in advance.
But the white-robed Sword Immortal in this scene seemed to pay no mind to the heavenly tribulation at all. He untied the wine gourd from his waist and took a hearty swig of fine wine.
Then.
Before the tribulation could even descend, he charged straight toward the dense black clouds, his long sword transforming into countless streams of purple light, colliding with the endless rays of thunder within the tribulation cloud.
Boom~
As if angered, the heavenly tribulation grew even more violent as the lightning in the cloud layers became increasingly frenzied.
The terrifying power of thunder transformed into various divine beasts and ferocious monsters, charging toward the white-robed Sword Immortal. Some took the form of the divine beast Vermilion Bird, with its wings unfurling to unleash endless thunder and fire.
Some took the form of the White Tiger of Gengjin, with condensed thunder power forming countless blades of weapons, directly covering most of the sky.
Others took the form of a Qilin, with each step causing thunder to erupt and the void to shatter.
...
However.
The white-robed Sword Immortal showed no retreat. He drank heartily from the gourd, engaging in sword battles with the endless tribulation beasts.
Ten thousand swords flew at once.
Manifesting various profound sword techniques. Each casual sword strike could shatter several layers of void. Through the void cracks, one could even see the terrifying void tides.
"This is the Wrath of Heaven Sword Classic!"
"Also the Universe Sword Classic and the Gale Sword Classic!"
"Even his cousin's Heavenly Timing Sword Classic, this senior used it with ease. Was he once the ancestor of our Sword Lineage?"
In the private box.
Li Longhao and others watched with burning eyes, their faces filled with undeniable excitement.
After all.
The scenes manifested by sound realms generally fell into two categories.
First, the scenes imagined by the composer's mind, such as Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly, contemplating the three thousand realms.
However.
This situation was rare, as the rootless scenes of a floating duckweed could hardly support the sound realm condensed by a masterpiece.
Second, the composer incorporated their own experiences and life journey into the music. If later generations could cultivate it to a realm beyond great perfection.
They could achieve resonance in the Dao of Sound through the musical tones, thus re-manifesting their past experiences and observations.
Similar to a mirage.
Now this white-robed Sword Immortal's cultivation had reached Tribulation Transcendence, and the various sword classics in his hands had at least been cultivated to the realm of great perfection.
Using them with ease, they became invincible killing moves.
As sword cultivators, the Li family's four brothers witnessing the sword technique imprints from his tribulation was undoubtedly a great fortune.
In an instant.
Even the most unreliable Li Longji forced himself awake, staring wide-eyed at the scene in the sound realm.
One sword! Two swords!
Three swords!
...
Ten swords!
A hundred swords!
A thousand swords!
...
The white-robed Sword Immortal moved freely through the thunder, seemingly also cultivating some of the profound mysteries of the Thunder Dao.
His entire being seemed fused with the tribulation cloud, dancing with his sword within it, free and unrestrained, like a deity.
Although.
Under the rampage of endless thunder, his originally white clothes were tattered and torn, and his once flowing hair stood on end, somewhat disheveled.
But the white-robed Sword Immortal's expression of joy and abandon was completely genuine. He truly treated this tribulation transcendence as an interesting matter.
This person was truly a peerless prodigy!
...
Perhaps even the heavenly tribulation was unwilling to trouble such a dashing Sword Immortal.
After an unknown number of exchanges, the tribulation clouds in the sky finally slowly dispersed.
The Sword Immortal stood proudly in the void.
His white Dao robe was tattered, and his aura was slightly weakened, but the light in his eyes was even more brilliant than before.
The sharp edge shot straight to the nine heavens.
The originally tense, hurried, and sharp piano music suddenly rose high, bold and unrestrained.
In an instant.
Countless listeners in the Phoenix Perching Building couldn't help but develop a strong yearning for sword cultivation, wishing they could switch to sword cultivation and become such a dashing Sword Immortal in the future.
This was the Tribulation Transcendence Immortal Melody?
Truly extraordinary, to be able to simulate part of the oppressive force of a heavenly tribulation. If one could listen to this melody a few more times and observe this mysterious sound realm more.
It would definitely be of great benefit to cultivation, greatly broadening one's horizons.
Just as many thought the Tribulation Transcendence Immortal Melody was about to end, the tune of the music changed again.
Tense! Urgent! Heavy!
Like the harbinger of a coming storm, making people's hearts clench.
Suddenly.
Heavy and dense drum beats sounded, completely overwhelming the piano music. The originally clear and bright sky in the sound realm dimmed in an instant.
In the east.
The originally bright sky was enveloped in thick black qi. Within the endless black qi, tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of demons and monsters surged and roared, making one's blood run cold.
They were like a violent wind sweeping across the land, rampaging toward one city after another, leaving no survivors in their wake.
Among them.
There were terrifying giants exceeding a hundred, even a thousand, in size. The aura and oppressive force they emitted caused the void to shatter, clearly being formidable beings capable of battling human experts.
However.
As these demonic tides rampaged, they deliberately avoided various immortal mountains, seemingly knowing they were not to be trifled with.
In an instant.
The originally carefree and blissful music grew solemn, making countless people in the Phoenix Perching Building can't help but clench their fists.
Oppressive Extreme oppression The piano music gradually fell silent, and the drums gradually grew silent.
Only the silent sound realm silently evolved scenes that made one's eyes crack with rage.
Finally.
After long oppression, a piercingly sharp suona sound pierced the clouds.
As the suona sounded.
From the ten thousand mountain peaks, a crimson sword light shot out, transforming into a sword-energy phoenix above the nine heavens, carrying endless flames, charging toward the rolling demonic clouds.
One sword.
Cleaving through ten thousand miles of demonic clouds, wantonly arrogant and rampantly wild. The soaring sword intent shook the ten thousand-mile sky, its brilliance chilling nineteen provinces!
It was the white-robed Sword Immortal! He ultimately did not remain detached, ultimately came out of the deep mountains, charging toward the endless demonic horde.
Flames.
Sword light.
Thunder.
At this moment, he was as brilliant as the scorching sun, repeatedly piercing through the black demonic clouds. Wherever the sword light passed, the endless black demonic clouds melted like ice.
The sky like a painting, demons like paper, I slash freely with my sword!
Sharp.
Bold.
Unrestrained.
In the sharp, bold, and wild suona sound, the white-robed Sword Immortal was like a soaring dragon, striking in the ink-black ocean. The river of sword energy surged, with no enemy able to withstand a single blow.
...
Looking at the great phenomenon, the wantonly fighting Sword Immortal, countless young boys and girls in the Phoenix Perching Building felt their blood boil, wishing they could leap into the sound realm and dance alongside him.
However.
The situation soon changed again.
The hidden demons in the demonic clouds were simply too numerous, with many having extremely high cultivation.
The Sword Immortal's provocation quickly angered the demonic horde, and countless terrifying fierce demons charged toward him.
An even more intense battle was about to begin.
