Invincible Starts From Dao Fruit

Hoo hoo hoo!

Boom boom boom!

Tribulation clouds converged, heavenly lightning brewed.

Chen Jichuan calmed his mind, patiently waiting for the first streak of tribulation thunder to descend.

Facing the tenth round of Independent Immortal Tribulation, Chen Jichuan finally grew cautious, standing vigilantly beneath the tribulation clouds, quietly awaiting the lightning, lacking the prior confidence to dash directly into the clouds.

After all, this was the tenth round of Independent Immortal Tribulation.

It demanded respect.

The Heavenly Tribulation brewed.

Even in its prelude, the oppressive force it exerted upon Chen Jichuan was significant, primarily at the psychological level.

For cultivators with insufficient Daoist attainment or an unsteady Daoist heart, this was the moment they would begin doubting themselves, questioning their existence. A small minority might even outright suffer Daoist heart collapse and self-annihilation.

The fierce might of heaven and earth.

How could a cultivator born and raised within it withstand?

The lower one's Daoist attainment, the less one understands of heaven and earth. The more unknowns there are, the greater the fear and trepidation.

Conversely, the higher one's Daoist attainment, the more familiar one becomes with heaven and earth. Although reverence persists, uncontrolled fear diminishes considerably.

Ignorance breeds fearlessness.

This saying doesn't quite apply here.

Chen Jichuan's Daoist attainment was far from weak, and his Daoist heart was exceptionally steadfast.

To him, this oppression was merely a slight heaviness on his heart, without causing any substantial impact.

Time flowed.

Finally.

Rumble—!

The first streak of tribulation thunder was fully brewed—

Crack!

A deafening explosion, as though splitting chaos to reveal heaven and earth.

The tenth round of Independent Immortal Tribulation officially descended!

…

"The Independent Immortal Tribulation comprises nine layers and eighty-one streaks."

"Each layer and each streak increase in potency, testing cultivation, Daoist attainment, foundation, Daoist heart, while also challenging endurance, resilience, and recovery capabilities."

The only thing Chen Jichuan worried about was Daoist attainment; everything else was perfected to the extreme.

One streak!

Two streaks!

Three streaks!

Streaks of tribulation lightning descended one after another, each stronger than the last.

As Chen Jichuan underwent the tribulation, the first layer, the second layer, and the Third Layer Heaven lightning descended consecutively. He discovered that this tenth round of Independent Immortal Tribulation was easier than he had imagined.

"It seems there's a great chance I can surpass this!"

Chen Jichuan felt a surge of excitement.

He swallowed ten drops of "Hundred Saints Liquid," waiting for the arrival of the fourth layer of tribulation lightning.

This "Hundred Saints Liquid" was obtained by Xiao Lan from the Ancient Immortal Sect's "Hundred Saints Sect."

It could both aid cultivation and enhance Daoist attainment, as well as restore spirit, mana, and Qi-Blood consumption. Even a Nine Tribulations Independent Immortal could instantly recover to peak condition after consuming one drop.

Xiao Lan gifted it to the Ten Star Lords.

After Chen Jichuan slew the Ten Star Lords, the "Hundred Saints Liquid" fell into his hands.

Originally totaling three hundred drops, the Ten Star Lords used twenty drops. In Chen Jichuan's hands, two hundred and eighty drops remained.

He had held off using them before, saving them to ensure success in the tenth tribulation.

A single drop of "Hundred Saints Liquid" consumed would restore a Nine Tribulations Independent Immortal to peak instantly.

Chen Jichuan possessed two hundred and eighty drops and wasn't stingy in using them, striving to maintain himself in peak condition at all times.

The fourth layer.

The fifth layer.

The sixth layer.

Tribulation lightning continued striking down, and in the blink of an eye, it had reached the seventh layer.

At this stage.

Each streak of lightning now possessed power comparable to the final streak of the Ninth Tribulation.

Chen Jichuan had to give it his all.

Magical Treasure.

Magic.

He continually leveraged these to weaken the tribulation lightning.

Externally, the "Inverted Eight Gates Immortal Suppression Formation" further diminished the lightning.

Layer upon layer of weakening.

Chen Jichuan steadily advanced through the tribulation.

Continuously consuming "Hundred Saints Liquid," he took advantage of the brewing intervals between each layer of lightning to adjust and fully recover himself.

The seventh layer.

The eighth layer.

Soon, the Independent Immortal Tribulation had brought down seventy-three streaks, entering the final layer.

"The ninth layer!"

Chen Jichuan gritted his teeth.

The "Galaxy Robe" obtained from one of the Golden River Domain's top factions, "Circulation Immortal Sect," had already been scorched black in multiple places.

The eight immortal flags could no longer sustain themselves; the formation had been destroyed, falling one by one.

Seventy-four streaks.

Seventy-five streaks.

Seventy-six streaks.

When the seventy-sixth streak of tribulation lightning descended, Chen Jichuan didn't wait for the "Galaxy Robe" but switched directly to another protective Dharma Robe—

The Taiyin Robe.

This was obtained from one of the Golden River Domain's top factions, the "Immortal Palace," and its quality was on par with the "Galaxy Robe."

He had four such robes.

Seventy-seventh streak.

Seventy-eighth streak.

Seventy-ninth streak.

In an instant, three streaks of tribulation lightning had descended, and by the seventy-ninth streak, the "Taiyin Robe" had also started showing signs of damage.

Without hesitation, Chen Jichuan swapped for another.

At this point.

Only the final two streaks of tribulation lightning remained.

These were the strongest two streaks.

Chen Jichuan hastily gulped down twenty drops of "Hundred Saints Liquid," mana roaring within him, continuously refining the medicinal power to recover his being.

Inside his body, the Four Saints roared, swallowing and tearing apart one demonic force after another that tried to disturb his mind.

Thanks to the immortal array's protection and the magical treasures, Chen Jichuan had maintained ninety-nine percent of his condition up to this stage.

He felt joy rising in his heart.

He knew there was a great chance of overcoming this tenth round of Independent Immortal Tribulation.

Still, he carefully retained his composure, chanting the "Pure Heart Mantra" alongside the Four Saint Divine Monarchs, calming his mind to guard against invading external demonic forces accompanying the tribulation lightning, ensuring he didn't let his guard down.

The eightieth streak.

The eighty-first streak.

The final two streaks of tribulation lightning were brewed for an extended time before finally descending.

Boom boom boom!

Boom boom boom!

Endless rumbling!

Bam bam bam!

Chen Jichuan swiftly waved his sleeves, the Sixth Realm's "Daluo Heavenly Sleeve" endlessly neutralizing the tribulation lightning until it finally descended, striking the "Flying Immortal Robe" shielding his body.

It seemed as though a celestial figure stood behind Chen Jichuan, striving to keep the tribulation lightning firmly outside.

But ultimately, a portion of it penetrated the robe, striking Chen Jichuan directly.

Rumble—!

Deafening thunder filled his ears; his entire body trembled.
