Following a Hundred Years of Cultivation, I'm dying Before I Got Cheats

Chapter 1054: Breakthrough Amidst Adversity, Crossing the Thunder Tribulation
Editor: Henyee Translations

In the brink of peril, Shen Ruyan exerted all her might, finally managing to thwart the assault of the Dao Phoenix.

In that fleeting moment, the world’s brand merged into her Dao physique.

“Screech!”

The ferocious Dao Phoenix let out a piercing cry, then its looming figure gradually dissipated, shrouding everything in oblivion.

Within the clouds and misty peaks, divine radiance emanated from Shen Ruyan’s body, while strands of primordial thunder emerged in the void.

With eyebrows resembling willow leaves, Shen Ruyan suddenly opened her eyes, her demeanor imposing yet tranquil.

Subsequently, the apparition manifesting between heaven and earth swiftly converged and dissipated.

“Congratulations, Wife, on attaining Mahayana,”

At that moment, the voice of Jiang Chengxuan resonated from nearby.

Shen Ruyan looked up and indeed saw Jiang Chengxuan’s smiling face, brimming with contentment as he gazed upon her.

In an instant, a smile crept onto Shen Ruyan’s lips, and within the cave abode, it seemed as though a myriad of flowers blossomed, radiating unparalleled brilliance.

As it turned out, during the battle of wills within the world consciousness against the Dao Phoenix, her perception had not faltered.

Jiang Chengxuan had indeed long since broken through to the realm of Mahayana Daolord, safeguarding her from the outside and vigilantly observing her.

Between the two, there existed a profound karmic bond, and Jiang Chengxuan, at this moment, was already a Mahayana Daolord.

Although merely observing, in the depths of the unknown, his aid towards her breakthrough was not insignificant.

This discovery naturally filled Shen Ruyan, who had just broken through to Mahayana Daolord, with even greater joy.

“Many thanks to my husband for guiding me along the Dao.”

Immediately, she stood up, her face adorned with a smile of joy.

To this, Jiang Chengxuan could only step forward, taking hold of Shen Ruyan’s hands, and said with a smile:

“Not yet, there is still one final step to complete, to fulfill my duty as your husband.”

“Mm.”

Shen Ruyan nodded gently, well aware that the final step Jiang Chengxuan referred to was the tribulation crossing.

By now, with her heightened sensitivity after advancing to Mahayana Daolord, she could already sense the agitation and ferocity burgeoning around her.

“There’s no time to waste, let’s go, and cross the tribulation beyond the domain.”

Jiang Chengxuan’s hand gathered profound light, drawing a circular void gate into existence in the void.

In the next moment, without hesitation, the two stepped shoulder to shoulder into the profound darkness.

The chaotic aura assailed them, and the boundless realm beyond the domain once again unfolded before their eyes.

Boom! Boom!

Just as the gateway between realms closed, a terrifying thunderous roar echoed in the void,

The unfathomable might of heaven and earth pressed down in an instant.

Nine-colored thunder lights flickered in the darkness, as if nine colossal beasts with eyes as vast as stars were peering at their existence.

“I’m going, Husband.”

As the thunder lights in the chaos grew increasingly frenzied, Shen Ruyan’s expression grew solemn,

She circulated her qi, adjusting her breath to its peak, and spoke slowly.

The tribulation was a trial bestowed by heaven and earth upon cultivators during ascension. This matter could not be substituted by anyone else; otherwise, it would only incur the even greater wrath of heaven and earth.

Moreover, within the tribulation, there existed certain rules. Only those who truly crossed the tribulation could obtain these rules and achieve genuine enlightenment.

In the cultivation world, there were often those who sought methods to evade tribulations. However, those who advanced using such methods often ended up weaker than normal tribulation-crossers, only achieving a false realm.

Shen Ruyan naturally would not choose to do so.

In the future, she still wanted to walk further on the path of cultivation with Jiang Chengxuan, to witness more distant immortal realms, not settling for a false realm.

She pursued Mahayana not for longevity or immortality but to accompany her Dao companion, to contend with heaven and earth, and with herself.

Under Jiang Chengxuan’s nod, Shen Ruyan hesitated no longer, traversing the void, facing the increasingly intense thunder lights head-on.

There, the nine-colored thunder lights had erupted to their zenith, each flicker akin to a small sunburst, emanating an incredibly terrifying power.

Boom!

In an instant, as the nine-colored thunder lights simultaneously erupted, within the realm beyond the domain,

Nine enormous torrents surged out of thin air, cutting through the endless chaotic darkness.

The nine-colored thunder lights, extending in nine directions like nine linked stars,

Ultimately transformed into nine thunderous dragons, roaring across the domain, with thunder condensing into liquid, erupting endlessly.

This was none other than the most formidable thunder tribulation in legend for cultivators of thunder techniques—the Nine Dragon Annihilation Thunder Tribulation!

This tribulation specifically targeted cultivators practicing thunder techniques. Under these nine-colored divine thunder lights,

Not only could one not cheat, but instead, they would suffer the most terrifying suppression.

However, facing the nine thunderous dragons spanning thousands of miles, Shen Ruyan remained undaunted, her heart as calm as still water.

Jiang Chengxuan was already waiting for her at the realm of Great Dao, no matter what appeared ahead, she would only sever it.

In the next moment, Shen Ruyan’s body also transformed into a thunder spirit, igniting the void with primordial thunder, burning fiercely.

The black and white rules of life and death transformed into two serpents encircling her arms,

Boom!

In an instant, the nine thunderous dragons surged forth, traversing the void to attack,

The chaos beyond the domain was scorched by their bodies, leaving behind void rifts.

The terrifying power of the nine thunderous forces descended simultaneously, but Shen Ruyan did not retreat,

The primordial thunder erupted from her body, spreading for thousands of miles, like a burning giant tree, wildly growing in the domain beyond the domain.

Two terrifying forces collided abruptly, and this entire area fell into a sea of thunder, with ten kinds of thunderous powers rising in the chaos, instantly annihilating countless stars.

Thunder, since the birth of the universe, has possessed the most powerful destructive element,

And now, what existed here was the most powerful thunder in the world.

Neither Shen Ruyan nor the Nine-colored Thunder Tribulation showed any signs of backing down,

Both erupted with all their might, freely unleashing destruction in this realm beyond the domain.

Such a collision even made Jiang Chengxuan, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn’t help but wear a grave expression.

“Cycle of life and death, thunder transcends!”

In the battle of tribulation, it soon entered a white-hot stage. Shen Ruyan no longer held back,

Forming mysterious hand seals, she immediately unfolded her newly comprehended divine technique.

Under her control, the rules of life and death and primordial thunder merged completely. Within the thunder tribulation,

They forcibly created one black and one white domain, followed by two divine generals stepping out from within.

The primordial thunder and the rules of life and death, the two strongest forces, transformed into towering spirits that overshadowed the heavens,

Their terrifying might instantly dispelled the thunder tribulation to some extent.

Even if Shen Ruyan wielded her full power to execute this move, she couldn’t help but feel a bit weary,

Such was the immense power it possessed.

In an instant, the two divine generals traversed the chaos, their colossal palms immediately seizing a piece of the void,

Then, two thunderous dragons were captured within their grasp.

With a rumble, the nine thunderous dragons surged forth, traversing the void,

Their bodies scorched the chaos beyond the domain, leaving behind void rifts.

The nine terrifying forces of thunder descended simultaneously, but Shen Ruyan did not retreat,

These towering spirits, embodiments of primordial thunder and the rules of life and death, dominated the heavens with their imposing presence,

Their immense power managed to partly dispel the thunder tribulation’s onslaught.

Even as Shen Ruyan unleashed this technique with all her might, she couldn’t help but feel a twinge of exhaustion,

Such was the enormity of its power.

In an instant, the two divine generals traversed the chaos, their colossal palms seizing hold of a segment of the void,

Then, two thunderous dragons were ensnared within their grip.
