Creating Demonic Cultivation Techniques against Non-human Races-Chapter 288: Eighth Heaven Peak, Ten Thousand Years of Lifespan, the Mystery of Human Longevity, and the Arrival of the Five Tribulations of Life and Death

Chapter 288: Chapter 288: Eighth Heaven Peak, Ten Thousand Years of Lifespan, the Mystery of Human Longevity, and the Arrival of the Five Tribulations of Life and Death

The three disasters of wind, thunder, and fire engulfed him, with every inch of muscle tissue and each cell continuously evolving and sublimating.

"Boom~ Boom~ Boom~"

Celestial thunderbolts struck down one after another, day turned to night and night to day.

In the blink of an eye, after several days and nights, the eighty-first celestial thunderbolt was brewing.

The dark clouds above the sky seemed to gather all their power at this moment, forming an apocalyptic thunder tribulation imbued with a destructive aura, turning into a colossal black thunder dragon that descended swiftly from the sky.

In an instant, Lin Ping’an’s figure was completely submerged.

At the same time, the wind disaster wielded its full power, ceaselessly eroding his flesh and blood.

Only the fiery disaster deep within his soul persisted relentlessly but ineffectively, unable to inflict any harm on Lin Ping’an.

Under the tempering of the three disasters, his flesh and blood sublimated, and his level of life made another breakthrough.

Suddenly, Lin Ping’an felt that the quality of the qi blood he controlled multiplied several times over, as if it had evolved into a whole new realm.

With a slight tremor of his body, the impurities on his skin turned to ash almost instantly and vanished.

The previously charred exterior instantly revealed a crystalline, jade-like skin, as clear as white jade.

Furthermore, all the hair on his body fell away but turned to ash before hitting the ground, dissipating completely.

With a single thought from Lin Ping’an, long, jet-black hair sprouted instantly, reaching down to his waist. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

The eyebrows above his eyes also appeared, morphing into their most perfect state.

Even his facial features were subtly adjusted, becoming flawless, exuding a celestial magnificence.

Compared to before, now that Lin Ping’an had shed all disguises, whether it was his bearing, appearance, or the aura he emitted.

They constantly testified to his strength, and the dominance of his life level rendered him impossible for inferior life forms to discern.

The so-called unseen god, was precisely this.

Having overcome the three disasters, Lin Ping’an suddenly felt as though all shackles were removed.

However, this was merely an illusion typical of a recent breakthrough.

Above the Eighth Heaven Realm, there was still the Ninth Heaven Realm, and beyond the Ninth Heaven, who knows what lies ahead!

As the saying goes, martial arts have no end; one must avoid arrogance and conceit.

After overcoming the three disasters, Lin Ping’an once again sensed within himself. This time, he could clearly understand the existence of another shackle.

That was the transition from the Eighth Heaven Realm to the Ninth Heaven Realm, which required experiencing the five tribulations.

The so-called five tribulations, also known as the five tribulations of life: birth, aging, illness, death, and suffering.

The soul enters reincarnation, experiences life, and comprehends the Heavenly Dao; this is how it is.

Passing through it, the great way opens up new and bright futures; failing to pass, the spirit is extinguished, leading only to falling.

This is why many who have achieved Perfection in the Eighth Heaven, if not confident or otherwise compelled, often choose not to undergo the tribulations.

Especially among the Exotic Beast Races, most do not even attempt the three disasters, remaining at the Seventh Heaven Realm wielding power.

After all, for those creatures, once reaching the Seventh Heaven, thereby crossing the minimum threshold of the Beast God Realm, they gain endless life.

Having already achieved longevity, why take such a significant risk for another breakthrough?

Moreover, what use is reaching the Eighth Heaven if one can’t be defeated or outrun at the Seventh Heaven?

As long as they hide, the world is vast, and none would pursue them relentlessly.

At the Seventh Heaven, physical bodies are indestructible, rebirth with a drop of blood is possible, and the recovery of the soul and rebirth with the Power of Rules are just playthings.

Various fallback resurrection methods leave adversaries frustrated and mentally defeated.

Without being thoroughly dealt with, they would reappear unpredictably after some time.

Additionally, some may remain in hiding after resurrection, impossible to find.

Due to these reasons, beings at the level of the Beast God generally do not fight to the death, often stopping short of full commitment.

Beyond wasting each other’s time, continuous depletion holds no real significance.

Of course, these rules exist between the exotic beasts, the Human Race is not included in this category.

For the Human Race, even after attaining the Seventh Heaven and crossing into the Beast God Realm, they cannot attain the eternal longevity of the Exotic Beast Races.

As for why, it remains a mystery till now.

Just like Lin Ping’an at this moment, despite reaching the Eighth Heaven Realm, he has not sensed the feeling of endless life found in the memories of the Beast Emperors and Beast Kings.

A lifespan of ten thousand years, that is the current length of his life.

Though it seems long, compared to the perpetually living, it is merely akin to a mayfly, absurdly short and lamentably so.

Withdrawing his wandering thoughts, Lin Ping’an focused his mind, triggering the descent of the five tribulations.

Since he is already at Perfection of the Eighth Heaven, he might as well strive to reach the higher realm of the Ninth Heaven in one go.

As he has already embarked on the tribulation journey, he might as well resolve it all at once.

Moreover, an intuitive sense told him that now was the best time.

With the shift of his thoughts, a mighty force akin to the cycle of life and death instantly began to draw Lin Ping’an’s soul and spirit, intending to pull him into it.

However, in the next instant, this force encountered an unprecedented challenge.

No matter how hard it tried, it could not move Lin Ping’an’s soul even the slightest.

Or to be more precise, it couldn’t touch even the slightest bit, perhaps stating it this way is more accurate.

Upon Lin Ping’an’s soul and spirit, there seemed to be an invisible barrier, shielding and isolating all harm.

Nothing could injure him in any way, as was evident now.

As time passed, despite several attempts, the mighty force failed each time.

For a moment, it seemed to hang there, encircling the edges of Lin Ping’an’s soul but clueless on how to proceed.

Feeling this situation, Lin Ping’an couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth slightly.

He hadn’t expected to find himself in this predicament now.

The passive soul protection ability of the Civilization Master System actually prevented the five tribulations from breaching.

Who would have thought, it was actually considered part of the harm.

Yet upon closer inspection, it wasn’t all wrong either.

If the five tribulations cannot be surpassed, resulting in the obliteration of the soul and falling at the site, it is the greatest harm indeed.

At this moment, Lin Ping’an contemplated briefly, retrieving a set of white scholar’s robes from a certain area within his Little World to wear.

Though pressing, he couldn’t act hastily.

Better to dress appropriately first; the wind disaster had stripped away all his external garments.

Even if no humans or beasts were around, he still didn’t wish to appear in a bold and unrestrained manner.

To some extent, Lin Ping’an valued his dignity.

A moment later, fully dressed, he voluntarily extended a strand of consciousness to touch the power of the five tribulations.

Instantly, that mighty force seemed to find an active entry point, rushing in through that consciousness.
