Chapter 3018 - 3021: Stripping Away the Great Dao

Chapter 3018: Chapter 3021: Stripping Away the Great Dao

"The Dao Rhythm left the body and suffered trauma; Jiang Chen himself also has sustained a Dao injury!"

Si Huang’er frowned tightly, speaking with concern.

The expressions of everyone turned heavy again, eyes filled with worry as they looked at Jiang Chen.

Boom!

The sound of thunder was incessant, with each tribulation lightning striking the Dao Dan, Jiang Chen’s complexion grew paler, as white as paper!

"One more strike!"

"Brother Jiang, hold on!"

"Stay strong!"

As each tribulation lightning descended, everyone’s hearts were in their throats.

At this moment, Jiang Chen’s whole body was exuding Great Dao Aura, evidently showing that the Foundation of the Great Dao was damaged, resulting in severe Dao injury.

Boom!

Pfft!

When another tribulation lightning struck, the Great Dao Aura on the Dao Dan suddenly weakened, Jiang Chen’s face flushed red, and he spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Jiang Chen!"

"Brother Jiang!"

Everyone exclaimed in shock.

"Why hasn’t it ended yet?!"

"Impossible!"

"It’s not ten Great Dao, it’s eleven!"

"Formation Path! Brother Jiang surely incorporated insights of Formation Path into the Dao Dan!"

Seeing the continuing turbulent thunderclouds, everyone’s complexion changed drastically, exclaiming in surprise.

Rumble!

The thunderclouds roiled, seemingly in a state of rage!

The last thunder strike will be the strongest, and if it is endured, then it’s Auspicious Clouds Tempering, but if not, then it’s obliteration.

At this moment, the Great Dao Aura of the Dao Dan was desolate, yet there was a crystalline state, with eleven colors faintly appearing.

In fact, tribulation could be halted at this point, just by killing the Pill Master, this semi-finished Dao Dan could end the tribulation and become a semi-Dao Dan!

In the past, every Dao Dan Grandmaster, when refining the Dao Dan, would find a powerful protector to prevent being ambushed at this critical moment.

It’s known that every Dao Dan Grandmaster would use the method of Dao Rhythm infusion during refining and tribulation, which greatly benefits oneself, and at the moment of the last tribulation strike, the Grandmaster is at the most dangerous moment because they’ve already withstood multiple tribulations and are certainly severely injured.

However, as long as the tribulation is overcome, the benefits gained would surely restore their injuries, even elevate their strength substantially.

This is also the most commonly used cultivation method by numerous Dao Dan Grandmasters, intentionally refining Dao Dan containing diverse Great Dao to summon even stronger auspicious clouds.

Of course, this is extremely dangerous as well.

Still, within this void space, everyone didn’t feel there was any danger here; this is Canghai Trade Alliance’s most important treasure trove, enveloped in numerous arrays, and at the moment, Zhao Buzu and other strong ones were waiting outside, absolutely no one could intrude.

Among the crowd, Pang Guang, Si Huang’er, and others focused intently on Jiang Chen.

At this moment, Jiang Chen’s condition was very poor, even extremely bad!

Blood continuously spilled from the corners of his mouth, his complexion pale as a sheet, his Great Dao Aura scattered, ten-color radiance bleakly flickering.

Dao Rhythm is the foundation of the Power of the Great Dao; understanding Dao Rhythm makes one’s Great Dao Power more formidable, but similarly, once Dao Rhythm is injured, the Foundation of the Great Dao surely suffers.

Under normal circumstances, unless it’s a life-and-death battle or there’s absolute confidence, Dao Rhythm is rarely infused into an attack.

Like Jiang Chen, casually using Dao Rhythm is rare among cultivators, but of course, that’s because Jiang Chen has sufficient confidence.

However, during Dao Dan Grandmaster’s pill refinement, Dao Rhythm inevitably suffers, and the Pill Master’s Foundation of the Great Dao must be wounded!

This depends on the situation of the Dao Dan tribulation; if overcome, strength elevates; if failed, it’s death and extinction; truly a step to heaven or hell!

Even some veteran Dao Dan Pill Masters dare not casually use this method for cultivation; no one can be certain they can overcome the tribulation, whereas merely refining the Dao Dan with one or two Great Dao Auras, there’s no necessity to use this method, as the benefits are minimal.

Upon successful refining of such quality Dao Dan, under Auspicious Clouds Tempering, it typically just assists the Pill Master in recovery from injuries, making them merely endure the pain of Dao injury fruitlessly; not worth the cost!

Jiang Chen looked up at the thundercloud above; there a thunderbolt as thick as a cask slowly took form, the violent Destruction Power already spreading.

With a grin, Jiang Chen’s face showed a hint of madness, and he shouted loudly: "Come on! I want to see whether you can annihilate my soul here! My life, commanded by myself, not by heaven!"

Buzz!

A majestic aura emerged; Jiang Chen suddenly expanded his domain.

"Brother Jiang, do not use Domain Power!"

"Jiang Chen, don’t act recklessly!"

Pang Guang and others were shocked and hastily cried out.

Li Tianqiong slightly squinted his eyes, quickly glancing at another nearby Integration Realm Peak preparation student.

This student’s name is Kong Wanchen, cultivating the Spatial Path.

When Jiang Chen’s domain exploded just now, Li Tianqiong sensed a subtle space fluctuation.

Si Huang’er and some others, due to concern, focused solely on Jiang Chen without noticing any abnormalities around the space, but Li Tianqiong, having little attachment to Jiang Chen, maintained the most stable mindset at this moment, and immediately sensed the difference.

Kong Wanchen was presently staring straight at Jiang Chen, with a conflicted expression in his eyes, his gaze gradually narrowing.

Swish!

Suddenly, brilliant ten-color radiance burst forth, everyone’s expressions shifted, staring dumbfounded at Jiang Chen.

At this moment, within a hundred meters of Jiang Chen, dazzling radiance erupted, the Power of the Great Dao was extremely magnificent, ten types of Great Dao Power continuously surged towards the Dao Dan in the sky.

Around the Dao Dan, faint Dao Rhythm appeared, all ten-color radiance infusing into the Dao Rhythm!

"I understand!"

Yue Muchen suddenly showed a joyful expression, yelling: "Brother Jiang stripped the Power of the Great Dao from the domain and infused it into the Dao Rhythm, capable of restoring the Dao Rhythm’s spirit, and then integrate it into the Dao Dan; this way, there’s a chance to withstand the last Thunderous Force strike!"

"Such audacity!"

Ren Cangsheng’s expression slightly changed, exclaiming: "Instantly stripping the Power of the Great Dao might trigger domain collapse; once the domain collapses, reconsolidating with cultivation isn’t as simple as after a breakthrough!"

Buzz!

As Ren Cangsheng finished speaking, the space surrounding Jiang Chen, within a hundred meters, trembled violently.

His domain only expanded to a hundred-meter range; now the domain is shaking intensely, with faint hints of collapse.

"His domain is about to collapse!"

Kong Wanchen suddenly spoke: "Once the domain collapses, not only does life perish, but the Dao Dan will also be completely ruined!"

Upon hearing this, Si Huang’er and others’ faces transformed with anxiety, intensely staring through the radiant lights at the figure whose appearance was distorted by space fluctuations inside.

Li Tianqiong, however, lightly frowned, gazing toward Kong Wanchen with deep implications, a trace of hesitation flashing across his eyes.
