Chapter 698: Devouring the Xuanhuang Seal

In terms of its fundamental nature, the Profound Yellow Small Seal was merely a Postnatal True Artifact.

But in terms of power, it was already comparable to a Middle-Heaven True Artifact.

The main reason for this was the Profound Yellow Merit Qi it contained.

Profound Yellow Merit Qi possessed an incredibly wondrous power; any True Artifact that integrated even a wisp of it would experience a massive surge in might.

According to legend, there was also a type of Supreme Treasure known as a Profound Yellow True Artifact.

The value of a Profound Yellow True Artifact was enough to rival that of an Innate True Artifact.

The Profound Yellow Small Seal before him contained a considerable amount of Profound Yellow Merit Qi, but its most important component was the Origin of the Kunlun Spirit Ruins.

Countless Runes shot from Qin Feng’s hands. Like innumerable tentacles, they infiltrated the Prohibition on the altar inch by inch.

Visible to the naked eye, the Prohibition’s glow began to waver and float, slowly disintegrating.

With a wave of his great sleeve, Qin Feng summoned a black hole that instantly enveloped the Profound Yellow Small Seal.

As the Profound Yellow Small Seal was enveloped, it felt as though the entire Kunlun Spirit Ruins was being swallowed by a massive mouth.

From within the Endless Void, one could see a colossal Grotto Heaven rapidly approaching the Grotto Heaven where the Kunlun Spirit Ruins resided. With a thunderous boom, it swallowed the decaying, withered Kunlun Spirit Ruins in one great gulp.

In a direct comparison, the Kunlun Spirit Ruins was actually quite a bit larger than the Chaos Cave Heaven.

But alas, one was a fierce tiger while the other was a helpless lamb, incapable of resistance.

RUMBLE!

In just over half a day, the entire Kunlun Spirit Ruins was forcefully devoured by the Chaos Cave Heaven, transforming into a continent twenty-five hundred li wide that appeared on one side of the Chaos Continent.

The two continents could not yet merge.

To completely digest the Kunlun Spirit Ruins, Qin Feng would need a period of Refinement.

The two continents were as different as night and day.

The Kunlun Spirit Ruins still held the vestiges of Ancient Kunlun, as well as a pervasive aura of decay and withering. It would take a great deal of effort for Qin Feng to harmonize it all.

The moment the Profound Yellow Small Seal fell into the Grotto Heaven, it was devoured by the wheel of the Chaotic Heavenly Dao.

Within the wheel of the Chaotic Heavenly Dao, countless Prohibitions began to spawn. Many Earth Evil Prohibitions combined to form new Prohibitions.

The Heavenly Dao wheel, which had not yet been fully formed, rapidly took shape after obtaining the Profound Yellow Small Seal, transforming into a vast wheel of light.

Seventy-two Earth Evil Prohibitions.

Thirty-six Heavenly Gang Prohibitions.

Gradually, thirty-six wisps of incomparably pure Heavenly Gang Light intertwined, and at their center, a Spiritual Light radiating an immortal and undying aura was born.

The moment this Prohibition appeared, it suppressed the entire Grotto Heaven. The whole Grotto Heaven underwent a dramatic change, collapsing in an instant and melting like ice into that single wisp of Spiritual Light.

The Undying Divine Prohibition!

Qin Feng felt as though he and his Grotto Heaven had both transformed into a single Undying Divine Prohibition, roaming through the Endless Void. In an instant, countless Void Mystical Meanings flooded his mind. His True Soul underwent an ultimate transformation, and he devoured all the Innate Yin Qi like a great whale drinking the ocean.

Suddenly, a layer of Supreme Yin Wuji power emanated from the depths of his soul.

This was no ordinary Yin God.

It was an Innate Yin Spirit!

Sensing the aura of the Yin Spirit’s birth, the Endless Void began to tremble, as if a rebellious child had been born, and it was preparing to unleash its thunderous rage to annihilate it.

RUMBLE!

Billowing black qi appeared from the depths of the Endless Void! The stench of Tribulation Evil Qi filled the Void.

The second Chaos Great Tribulation had arrived.

Within the Endless Void, an immeasurable black qi swept in, covering everything like a sky-blotting tide of black water.

This time, it was the Chaos Water Tribulation.

Qin Feng remained immersed in the profound mystery of his Grotto Heaven’s advancement. His body and Grotto Heaven, now a supremely resplendent Undying Divine Prohibition, drifted and bobbed within the Water Tribulation.

The four great Chaos tribulations were tribulations for Grotto Heavens, but also for Martial Arts Strongmen.

The Chaos Earth Tribulation brought Destruction to the land.

The Chaos Water Tribulation corroded all things.

This was also a baptism, a chance for Creation. If a Grotto Heaven could endure it, it could comprehend the Realm of unity between heaven and earth. If it failed, heaven and earth would separate, and it would crumble to pieces.

‘In my opinion,’ Qin Feng thought, ‘this is also a test sent by the Endless Void. If a Grotto Heaven is perfectly condensed and flawless, passing this tribulation is a simple matter.’

‘But if the Grotto Heaven is bloated, overextended, and has an unstable foundation, the outcome will surely be grim.’

Before devouring the Profound Yellow Small Seal, Qin Feng might have been somewhat wary, but now he was completely unafraid.

Within the Grotto Heaven, certain harmful substances that had settled in the Crystal Wall Element were suddenly drawn out by the Chaos Water Tribulation and dealt with.

Boundless Evil Qi spread everywhere, especially on the newly integrated Kunlun Continent. Countless streams of Death Qi and Evil Qi, along with that aura of Destruction, transformed into various malevolent beings that charged toward the Chaos Continent, vowing to destroy the Grotto Heaven.

Most terrifying of all were the imprints of Alien Species, which manifested as the past figures of those strongmen and charged into the Grotto Heaven.

The entire Grotto Heaven was thrown into turmoil, shaking violently. The Kunlun Continent, in particular, was almost instantly submerged by the world-ending black water and reduced to a state of chaos.

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE!

With the great tribulation attacking from both inside and out, Qin Feng was besieged, but he remained immersed in his transformation.

Chaos Mountain emanated an immeasurable radiance, protecting the Chaos Continent. A number of converted strongmen gathered at its base, chanting scriptures. Their voices formed a golden light that stabilized Chaos Mountain, allowing it to withstand the bombardment from the numerous manifested figures.

Amidst the great tribulation, Chaos Mountain stood as firm as Buzhou Mountain.

“He’s Crossing the Tribulation?”

“He’s breaking through to the Supreme Great Power Realm! Our chance is here!”

“What a massive tribulation! This black water is over a hundred times greater than what I faced during my breakthrough! That kid is a dead man!”

“Everyone, get ready! We strike together!”

…

As the great tribulation began, some of the strongmen imprisoned within the Grotto Heaven took notice. Many were watching intently, waiting for a chance to escape.

At the foot of Chaos Mountain, the Sea Demon Queen remained expressionless. Suppressed by Chaos Mountain, she knew that even if the others could run, she definitely couldn’t.

Qin Feng’s expression was serene as he appeared atop Chaos Mountain. Before him floated a condensed Innate Yin Spirit, which was in constant communication with the wheel of the Chaotic Heavenly Dao. He swept his gaze over the scene inside and outside the Grotto Heaven, a cold smile flashing in his eyes as he changed his Seal Technique!

The wheel of his Chaotic Heavenly Dao began to emanate an immeasurable radiance.

Like a giant black hole, it began to devour the immeasurable tribulation water.

As the black hole devoured the water, the manifested imprints were instantly weakened, as if the firewood had been pulled out from under the cauldron, their very foundation stripped away.

Seeing this, many of the strongmen’s jaws dropped.

“Is that kid courting death?”

Inside the Grotto Heaven, a group of suppressed Great Powers watched this scene in shock, their eyes flickering wildly.

“I’m sure of it, he’s courting death! He’s actually letting his Cave Heaven True Artifact absorb the Tribulation Evil Qi! A Cave Heaven True Artifact is essentially refined from the Cave Heaven Origin. Isn’t he afraid of completely contaminating the Origin? You have to understand, once the Cave Heaven Origin is polluted by Tribulation Fiend, it’s completely unsalvageable!”

Many of the Great Powers grew restless, preparing to escape their seals and even plunder the Grotto Heaven the moment it shattered.

“No. I just saw him obtain a Cave Heaven True Artifact that was condensed from Profound Yellow Merit Qi,” a Demon King said faintly.

“What?”

The various Great Powers were deeply disappointed.

With Profound Yellow Merit Qi present, no amount of Tribulation Fiend could harm Qin Feng.

“A bunch of prisoners,” the Demoness sneered. ‘That kid Qin Feng is far too shrewd to seek his own doom. He’s seen through the very essence of the Tribulation Fiend. His Chaos Cave Heaven was originally managed so well it was impenetrable. If he hadn’t devoured the Kunlun Spirit Ruins, the Chaotic Black Water wouldn’t have been able to get in at all. Now, although devouring the Spirit Ruins has created a small flaw, he has the Profound Yellow Merit Qi protecting him. This vast Tribulation Fiend can’t hurt him in the slightest!’

The Demoness watched with cold eyes as layers of Prohibitions rapidly formed. The wheel of the Chaotic Heavenly Dao, which already had nearly twenty-eight Heavenly Gang Prohibitions, was extracting countless streams of Tribulation Evil Qi. Under the tempering power of the Profound Yellow Merit Qi, the evil qi was transformed into pure Power of Creation, which in turn fueled the birth of even more Prohibitions.

‘Tribulation Fiend is Creation itself… What a cunning brat. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a formidable character!’ The Demoness sighed softly, her beautiful eyes turning away. She decided to stop watching, knowing now that Qin Feng would pass this tribulation without any real danger, despite the spectacle.
