Chapter 5238: Immortal Tribulation

Just as the powerhouses of Kongchen Holy City were looking on in astonishment…

Xiao Fan's tribulation ended, and his cultivation stabilized at the Seventh Layer of the Emperor Realm.

Xiao Fan did not stop, nor did he even have time to look around, because he knew better than anyone that his tribulation was far from over…

Xiao Fan took out a large quantity of Medicinal Pills and swallowed them all in one breath, regardless of their specific effects.

Seeing this scene, Ye Miaoyin suddenly understood something.

“Could it be that Xiao Fan… for his initial Breakthroughs, he relied on his own strength?! He didn't consume the divine tribulation immortal fruit?!” Ye Miaoyin cried out in shock.

Hearing Ye Miaoyin's words, everyone was collectively stunned.

“Yes! That's it! It must be! There's no mistake!” Holy Ancestor Kongchen exclaimed, fully agreeing with Ye Miaoyin's judgment.

“Senior! Can… can you be a bit more reliable?! Is that really how it is?!” Xiao Qing looked at Holy Ancestor Kongchen, completely speechless.

“It should be. There shouldn't be any mistake this time; Ye Miaoyin's deduction is correct.” Holy Ancestor Kongchen nodded.

“Then my father… when will his tribulation end?!” Xiao Qing asked with a worried expression.

“That… depends on how many Realms your father broke through using his own abilities before,” Holy Ancestor Kongchen spoke calmly.

Everyone: “…”

Holy Ancestor Kongchen's words were essentially an attempt to absolve himself of any responsibility.

Even if Xiao Fan continued to undergo tribulations later, Holy Ancestor Kongchen could shift the blame entirely onto Xiao Fan.

Half a month later…

Xiao Fan successfully completed his tribulation, raising his Realm to the Eighth Layer of the Emperor Realm. The Medicinal Pills on his person were nearly exhausted, as were his Heaven And Earth Treasures.

Xiao Fan ate whatever he had, completely consuming all his Medicinal Pills and Heaven And Earth Treasures.

Fortunately, Xiao Fan had been constantly visiting other racial factions recently; otherwise, he would have definitely been in dire straits by now.

And then…

The Lightning Tribulation permeating the sky began to gather once more.

It was the Heavenly Tribulation for Xiao Fan's Breakthrough to the Ninth Layer of the Emperor Realm.

Seeing this, everyone was shocked beyond measure.

Ye Miaoyin, Xiao Xuan, and Xiao Qing stopped asking questions. They knew it was useless to ask Holy Ancestor Kongchen; they could already guess what kind of excuses he would give.

“Xiao Fan is truly extraordinary…” Holy Ancestor Kongchen looked at the sky, marveling in his heart.

He thought to himself that Xiao Fan was indeed worthy of being the Successor of the Ancient Burial. With Xiao Fan's talent, it was truly possible to revive the Ancient Burial Holy Land.

Another person who was equally amazed was the King of Ten Thousand Weapons inside the ancient painting…

He had witnessed Xiao Fan's successive Breakthroughs with his own eyes and felt a deep sense of admiration for Xiao Fan's strength.

“Terrifying. Back then, the Three Ancient Ancestors… probably didn't possess this kind of strength either,” the King of Ten Thousand Weapons marveled.

…

This Heavenly Tribulation was exceptionally terrifying. Xiao Fan utilized various means, even the Power of Destiny and the Power of the Future.

Xiao Fan used the Power of Destiny to delay the impact of the heavenly lightning and the Power of the Future to peer into the trajectory of the subsequent strikes.

Xiao Fan also wanted to use the Power of World Destruction, but unfortunately, the World-Destroying Seed had been destroyed, and Xiao Fan had not yet recovered it.

Despite his various methods, Xiao Fan suffered greatly. Fortunately, he ultimately succeeded in the tribulation…

Covered in blood, Xiao Fan stood above the Void Realm, his Realm having reached the Ninth Layer of the Emperor Realm.

Above the Void Realm, the aura of the Lightning Tribulation had dissipated…

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Xiao Fan's tribulation had ended.

“It's over, it's finally over… Xiao Fan is truly something, actually breaking through to the Ninth Layer of the Emperor Realm in one go,” Holy Ancestor Kongchen murmured. Then, he saw Xiao Fan take out the immortal core.

Under everyone's shocked and bewildered gazes, Xiao Fan swallowed the immortal core in one gulp.

“Is he… insane? In this condition! He actually intends to undergo a tenth Heavenly Tribulation?!” Seeing this, Holy Ancestor Kongchen cried out in alarm.

“Senior! What did you say?!” Ye Miaoyin asked.

“He, he, he… what kind of courage is this? A tenth Heavenly Tribulation! He wants to undergo a tenth Heavenly Tribulation!!” Holy Ancestor Kongchen exclaimed.

“The tenth? This is already the fourteenth, Senior!” Xiao Qing said, her face full of exasperation.

Holy Ancestor Kongchen: “…”

“No! The Heavenly Tribulation from consuming an immortal core is different from the previous tribulations!” Holy Ancestor Kongchen shook his head. “After consuming an immortal core, one will face a new Heavenly Tribulation, which can also be called an Immortal Tribulation!”
