Chapter 1811: Tribulation Ability
The Dragon's Edge, it transferred all kinds of information to Chen Xiaobei's mind as he held it in his hand. Thanks to that, Chen Xiaobei got to know his Dragon's Edge better.
Heavenly tribulation would land on a person when the person committed sinful activities that went against heavenly rules.
A trial would be encountered by cultivators at key points in their cultivation, in which they must resist and ultimately transcend. Because immortal cultivation (generally) goes against the Will of Heaven, the Heavens would send down tribulation to oppress high-level cultivators who were in the progress of achieving Immortality. This happened often when they entered a new cultivation stage.
Not all cultivators were qualified to enter the heavenly realm even though they had reached high cultivation. Only those who could pass the test of heavenly tribulation would get baptized and be reborn as a supernatural being! If the person failed the test, its cultivation would be decimated and the person's essence would return back to the embrace of mother nature. Dragon's Edge had sent all these to Chen Xiaobei because the sword itself had been greatly involved with heavenly tribulation!
A long time ago, the Demonic Black Dragon made a huge mess out of the four major seas! Thousands of dragons' Blood Essences were consumed by it. During the fight, countless innocent sea creatures were killed. In the end, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King had to work together with God Erlang and 80,000 heavenly soldiers, taking a few months to defeat it.
Once it was captured, the Jade Emperor announced that it should be killed by the Immortal Guillotine. At that time, it had been summoned to a nine-fold heavenly tribulation. In the end, all its flesh was disintegrated; left with only its bones. There were different tiers of heavenly tribulation - three-fold heavenly tribulation, six-fold heavenly tribulation, and nine-fold heavenly tribulation.
Amongst the three categories, they could be further categorized into Ebony Nirvana Tribulation, Bloodbath Tribulation, Life-and-Death Tribulation, Parched Sky Lighting Tribulation, and Eternal Cycle Tribulation!
When Monkey King was captured for messing up the heavenly realm, he was sent to the Immortal Guillotine and nine-fold heavenly tribulation was summoned unto him. However, Monkey King was born from Divine Stone.
Not only did he survive the heavenly tribulation, he even managed to absorb the essence of nature into his body. In the end, his body and mind became even more powerful than before the trials landed on him.
The Demonic Black Dragon was not as powerful as the Monkey King, and that was why it was killed by the heavenly tribulation. Only one bone was left of it. This piece of bone, like Monkey King, had survived the Nine-Fold Heavenly Tribulation. This could only mean that the bone had also absorbed the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Aura within the Heavenly Tribulation.
The Spiritual Aura itself did not have any attributes nor did it have special abilities.
However, the Demonic Black Dragon bone contained an unlimited amount of Demonic Qi, menace, dominance, and superciliousness!
Monkey King did not have Demonic Qi, which was why his health skyrocketed after absorbing the Heavenly Tribulation's Heaven and Earth Spiritual Aura.
The Demonic Qi in the dragon bone, however, had a peculiar reaction with the Spiritual Aura. Not only did it improve the bone into a much stronger Divine Item, but it also produced a unique spirituality, transforming it into a Demonic Dragon Bone!
This unique spirituality originated from the Heavenly Tribulation.
Because of this hidden characteristic, this Demonic Dragon Bone was the only one of its kind in the three realms, and therefore, extremely valuable!
Originally, the Demonic Dragon Bones belonged to the Pagoda Bearing King, Li Jing - his most valuable possession! But little troublemaker NeZha stole it and gave it away during a Red Envelope Snatching Session!
Chen Xiaobei managed to snatch that very Red Envelope containing the precious dragon bone. He then gave it to the Prime of Tongtian, who forged it into the Black Saber!
Not long ago, Chen Xiaobei refined the Green Dragon sword and the Red Dragon sword. The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Aura yielded from that awakened the Dragon's Edge's spirituality, and activated its first special ability!
Three Fold Tribulation!
Ebony Nirvana Tribulation!
This special ability could dismiss all attacks that were one level lower than it!
For example, Dragon's Edge was now a Three-star Earth-God Item! That would mean everything that was weaker than it would be destroyed by the special ability!
During the battle just now, the energy of the three pieces of Earth-God Instruments and the three old men's Ethereal Force disappeared because of the Ebony Nirvana Tribulation!
"No wonder...the Primordial Lord of Heaven has been eyeing the Dragon's Edge... If the Dragon Edge's special abilities were completely awakened... with that old crook's cultivation, he would become someone that only the Ancestral Lord can defeat!"
The importance of the Dragon's Edge finally dawned on Chen Xiaobei.
As the saber continued to grow, it would possess the strength of Six and Nine-Fold Tribulations! One could only imagine how powerful it would become.
At the thought of this, Chen Xiaobei promised himself, "The Dragon's Edge must never fall into the hands of either Shen Gongpao or the Primordial Lord of Heaven!"
...
After a while, everyone gradually recovered form their shock.
Chen Xiaobei needed to take care of the enemy first.
He looked around at the enemy soldiers lying prostrate on the ground like obedient dogs, and declared, "I won't kill you, but I want you to remember this. I, Chen Zhufeng, the faction leader of Bei Xuan, hereby reminds all the forces from starfields all around; that Northern Wilderness is my territory! Whoever dares cause trouble, kill, or harm my family and my friends... I will destroy your families!"
Standing with the Dragon's Edge in his hand, everything he said was like holy words. He would not allow anyone to go against him.
"We remember... We'll remember it... We will never, ever forget it... We will never set foot in Northern Wilderness, ever again..."
The soldiers cried, knocking their heads to the ground.
Chen Xiaobei had put the fear of God into their hearts. They would forever fear Chen Xiaobei and would never dare to offend him again.
Left to live, their only value was to make Chen Xiaobei's warning known in every corner of the other starfields, and to tell them that there was a mysterious faction in Northern Wilderness whose leader wielded a Three-star Earth-God Instrument.
If the magnates of Apocalypse Starfield wanted to impose themselves on Northern Wilderness, they would have to consider their strength first!
"You can all buzz off!" Chen Xiaobei said.
His enemies fled the scene immediately.
