Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel-Chapter 522 - 362: Avatar Falls

Just like before, the catastrophic event spanned a vast range, more than tenfold greater than when he previously crossed the Golden Tribulation.

Everything in sight was shrouded in Xuan Water. Each drop of Xuan Water weighed as much as the Stars and carried an astonishing chill. True Immortals with weaker cultivation would perish upon contact.

Chu Zheng took a deep breath, opened all 108,000 pores of his body, accepting everything without rejection, and absorbed all the Water Element Qi transformed from Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi into his body.

The dark waves infiltrated his meridians, stirring the Lung Gold Qi to further stimulate the growth of Water Element Immortal Root, gradually suppressing the fiercely burning Heart Fire.

Just like when crossing the Golden Tribulation, the Water Element Immortal Root quickly became unsustainable, conversion growing increasingly difficult.

When water overflows, the unconverted Water Element Primordial Qi flowed straight to his kidneys, causing Chu Zheng's spine to stiffen slightly and a chill to surge at his waist.

At the same time, his Immortal Blood continuously surged from his heart, flowing several times before entering the lung meridians and further nurturing Kidney Water.

The heart governs the Fire Element, and the kidneys control Water, resembling the Two Sides of Yin and Yang. Now, as Kidney Water surged, Heart Fire dampened, much like the waxing of Yin and waning of Yang.

With each tribulation experienced, Chu Zheng grew more adept, retrieving a Treasure Bead shrouded in black mist and swallowed it into his stomach.

This was Essence Qi extracted from Xuanwu's Scale Armor, which was extremely beneficial for his Water Element Immortal Root.

Xuanwu, as the Holy Beast of the Water Attribute, had its Scale Armor refined to the highest purity on its body. Upon receiving this Essence Qi, the Water Element Immortal Root instantly expanded several times.

The Water Element Qi entering his body began transforming at a remarkable speed, entering his organs and integrating into the Five Elements cycle.

The growth of the Water Element Immortal Root required some time; however, the influx of Xuan Water exceeded Chu Zheng's carrying capacity.

In response, Chu Zheng could only replicate his previous method, operating the Qi-refining Technique to refine it as much as possible.

The previously stable Tribulation Qi around him began to surge rapidly.

The Heavenly Immortals had far too many tribulations to endure. The Eighth Order marked a realm of qualitative change, where each tribulation significantly bolstered their cultivation, making the accompanying Tribulation Qi exceedingly daunting.

To this end, Chu Zheng could only place his hopes on his Spirit Tree Avatar, diverting all Tribulation Qi to it.

The Tribulation Qi he could suppress in a day, his Avatar would have at least a hundred days to dissipate due to the time difference of a hundredfold.

At the moment of crossing the Water Tribulation, inside Chu Zheng's Cave Heaven World, devastating changes were occurring.

A fissure tore through the sky, and waves cascaded down, flowing freely on the ground, bringing in new vitality.

Amid the ancient forest, Bai Nian leaned against an ancient tree, watching the torrential flood below. He took out a Jade Book and began to write:

[Origin Calendar, Year 51]

[After four years, Zheng has achieved cultivation and entered the realm of the Five Tribulation True Immortal, attaining Five Elements Perfection in the Grotto Heaven...]

After recording this, Bai Nian flipped through the previous pages of the Jade Book, feeling a bit emotional.

In just a few years, the Ancestral Dao collapsed, Immortal Martial Arts were transformed, the Universe shattered, and All Heavens face extinction.

Although Chu Zheng was young, everything he witnessed and experienced was of cosmic significance.

Compared to the events of the past million years, the last few decades were exceptionally eventful.

Chu Zheng's cultivation talent, compared to the ancient books he had perused across the Myriad Realms, was unmatched and could be called 'demonic.'

It was unclear whether this was a precursor to chaos, attracting extraordinary individuals, or if these individuals' emergence caused the chaos.

Regardless, he, merely a common man, had no regrets witnessing and feeling all of this through Chu Zheng's power.

Two days into a steady tribulation crossing, Chu Zheng suddenly felt uneasy.

His Avatar sent a warning, encountering great trouble.

...

...

Spirit Moon Great Realm.

Amongst the continuous Floating Islands, an Ancient Tree reaching the sky took root in the Void, its canopy spanning millions of miles, its branches and leaves like mythic dragons hidden in nine layers of clouds and mist.

From all directions came deafening battle cries. Everywhere one looked, there were towering pillars of fire and blades and swords flashing across the sky.

The Spirit Wood's branches were set ablaze, leaves entwined with fire fell like shooting stars, plunging into the layered clouds without leaving a trace.

Countless living creatures surrounded the Spirit Wood, employing various attack techniques, leaving scars upon it.

These living creatures rightfully belonged to a faction of the Emperor Dynasty. For reasons unknown, they had been relentlessly pursuing the Spirit Tree Avatar for several months.

With his main body crossing a tribulation and needing to dissipate Tribulation Qi, Chu Zheng manifested the Spirit Wood's main body, choosing to directly confront them instead of hiding.

However, the confrontation led to unexpected results.

Though some Tribulation Qi was dissipated, the rate was overwhelmed by new influx.

Now, the Tribulation Qi grew stronger, rapidly transforming into a Death Tribulation, but Chu Zheng couldn't find its source. Stuck in this predicament, he had no choice but to endure passively.

Chu Zheng surveyed his surroundings, continuously searching for hidden dangers while wielding his branches to sweep away swaths of living creatures, reducing them to bloody mist.

As time passed, the bloody mist thickened, with six great suns shining down, transforming the sky into an inverted scarlet ocean, reflecting a fierce blood-red light.

Suddenly, a cold gleam emerged, tearing through millions of miles of sky, stirring the clouds and wind, shattering the bloody sea, clearing heaven and earth instantly.

Before the light reached him, Chu Zheng felt a bone-chilling killing intent, and the Tribulation Qi around him began to boil violently, instantly triggering a tribulation.

Crack!

A silver spear extended from beyond the heavens, piercing through the heart of the Spirit Wood, pinning Chu Zheng firmly in the Void, immobilizing him.

The location of the silver spear's penetration was critical, instantly severing his meridians.

A figure stepped out of the Void, appearing around sixty years old, with long beard hanging down to his chest, a pronounced forehead, and dragonesque features.

[Zhou Muyu (Eighth Order): Bone age of 151,231 years, Eighth Order Ninth Layer cultivation, highest-ranking leader of Fengyue Army in Holy Moon Dynasty, main practitioner of "True Dragon Transformation Technique", has cultivated True Dragon Treasure Body, only a step away from becoming a True Dragon.]

Seeing the information about the person in front of him, Chu Zheng realized that the Death Tribulation had manifested through this individual.

The Spirit Tree Avatar's ability to contain Tribulation Qi was ultimately limited. If Tribulation Qi couldn't be dissipated timely, it turning into Death Tribulation was only natural.

The Eighth Order Ninth Layer was equivalent to the top-tier Nine Tribulations True Immortal, possessing the power to overturn Star Domains. Within the Spirit Moon Great Realm, he was atop the pyramid.

Beings who reached the Ninth Order were rare in the Spirit Moon Great Realm. Though the Spiritual Energy Tide could nourish the entire realm, its heavenly environment couldn't support further cultivation for Ninth Order beings.

Any creature who reached the Ninth Order and had ambition would mostly choose to leave for other great realms to seek further advancement.

Thus, few Ninth Order beings chose to remain.

"You bunch of fools, if you damage the Spirit Wood, what will we use to carve the Emperor's coffin?"

Zhou Muyu scanned the battlefield, issuing a low growl.

Silence fell over the land; even breath sounds vanished in an instant.

Hearing this, Chu Zheng understood suddenly. No wonder the people of the Holy Moon Dynasty had been persistently pursuing him. The Emperor had passed away, lacking a coffin. Naturally, his Spirit Tree Avatar was the most suitable material.

Zhou Muyu had no intention of indulging in conversation with Chu Zheng. He raised his hand and clenched it, severing the Void.

Within mere breaths, the towering Spirit Wood transformed into a small sapling, falling into his palm.

Soon, Chu Zheng experienced an incredibly novel way of dying.

After being taken through the Void, Zhou Muyu delivered him to a palace and handed him to a group of people.

The tree's roots and excess branches were cut off, with the trunk preserved. Then, it was split open, hollowed out, and this group of people inscribed arrays upon it for a long time.

As vitality slowly diminished, Chu Zheng's sensory ability grew weaker.

In the final blurry moments, he seemed to catch sight of a corpse adorned in an Emperor's Robe being hurriedly placed inside.

As he was buried in the tomb, Chu Zheng's last trace of Divine Sense was extinguished, his avatar's soul scattered.
