Chapter 161 Falling into the Immortal Aperture! Crossing the Heavenly Tribulation!
Right now, countless Gu worms flew out from all the Immortal Apertures, gathering into patches of dark clouds, hovering behind him like soldiers awaiting inspection.
A hundred years have passed in the Power Immortal Aperture. After devouring Douluo Star and accepting its Soul Masters and Soul Beasts, and transforming it into the Gu Master system, it has now yielded results.
Within the entire Immortal Aperture, hundreds of millions of mortal Gu worms have already appeared.
Ye Ming is the god who controls all of this.
None of the native inhabitants of Douluo Star were able to break through to the fifth level of immortality. These people were merely tools he used to evolve Gu worms and increase resources.
At this moment, Ye Ming's physical body was like the spirit of a blessed land, thriving within the immortal aperture, but unable to escape.
However, the Immortal Aperture itself can constantly communicate with the external energies of heaven and earth to stabilize itself.
In fact, after transcending tribulation and ascending to immortality, the empty aperture transforms into a blessed land of immortal apertures. With abundant resources, the immortal aperture itself contains too little of the two energies of heaven and earth, so it naturally needs to absorb the two energies of heaven and earth every once in a while to stabilize itself.
Without the two energies of heaven and earth, the resources within the immortal aperture would become like a tree without roots.
When a Gu Immortal undergoes tribulation, they usually place their immortal aperture into the external world so that the continuous flow of the two energies of heaven and earth can replenish their immortal aperture.
He had completely vanished from where Ye Ming had originally stood. His immortal aperture landed on the shattered earth outside, condensing into a small dot, residing in the void, and was no longer visible.
The gentle breeze that used to blow from the outside was still blowing, and the lava flowing on the ground had not even dried up yet.
There were no major changes in the outside world, as if Ye Ming had never appeared.
However, the next moment, when Ye Ming took the initiative to open the portal of the Power Immortal Aperture, everything changed.
In an instant, the heavens and earth hummed, the mountains and rivers trembled, and countless streams of heaven and earth energy surged toward the immortal aperture as if a storm was brewing.
Soon, a vast amount of the energies of heaven and earth had engulfed this place. The gentle breeze and cloud formations were all transformed into the energies of heaven and earth.
The Immortal Aperture Portal is the channel connecting the Immortal Aperture with the outside world. As it opens, Ye Ming's Immortal Aperture also connects with the outside world, continuously drawing in the two energies of heaven and earth.
At this moment, the Immortal Aperture was like a gaping maw of an abyss, greedily devouring the energies of heaven and earth from the outside world.
The boundless energy of heaven and earth surged in, causing a slight tremor to appear within Princess Zhen's immortal aperture. However, the tremor was so minor that the Gu Master within the immortal aperture did not notice it.
But Di Tian, Bi Ji, Zi Ji, and Shen Cui flew straight over, looking at Ye Ming with serious expressions.
Having lived in the Immortal Aperture for so long, Di Tian and the others had experienced several natural disasters.
But there has never been such a spectacle before.
"Master, is there anything we can do for you?" Di Tian asked Ye Ming respectfully, bowing his head slightly.
"There might be some unrest in the blessed land later. You all should split up and go suppress those unruly Gu Masters."
Ye Ming casually said something and then dismissed the others.
At this moment, as the Immortal Aperture absorbs the two energies of heaven and earth from the outside world, the tributary of time within the Immortal Aperture also begins to merge into the long river of time in the outside world.
The flow of time within the Immortal Aperture began to slow down significantly.
When a celestial aperture that falls between heaven and earth opens its portal and connects to the river of time in the outside world, it will exhibit a state where the flow of time is the same as that of the outside world.
In the world of Gu, many Gu masters, for the sake of their limited lifespan, choose to retreat into the Immortal Aperture, hiding their physical bodies within it.
A sense of foreboding arose in Ye Ming's heart, foreshadowing the imminent arrival of the Heavenly Tribulation.
However, as the immortal aperture landed and the flow of time slowed down, the speed at which the calamity arrived also slowed down.
The speed at which the immortal aperture absorbed the two energies of heaven and earth gradually slowed down; what was originally a voracious absorption had now become a slow and gentle process.
The capacity of the immortal aperture is also limited.
Ye Ming remained calm. After experiencing numerous natural disasters, he had developed his own set of experiences regarding tribulations.
When he saw that the absorption of the two energies of heaven and earth by the immortal aperture had slowed down, he began to arrange the Gu worms in an orderly manner.
He had already prepared some Gu worms within the Immortal Aperture, but it was still not enough.
The calamity is immense; we must be extremely vigilant.
He frantically activated his Qingti Immortal Essence, unleashing all the powerful killing moves he had evolved over this period.
Before the heavenly tribulation arrives, no one knows exactly what form it will take.
Ye Ming could only use a large number of Gu insects to cover the heavens and earth, ensuring that the blessed land would not be destroyed by the heavenly tribulation.
After the dense swarm of Gu worms dispersed, Ye Ming once again used Qingti Immortal Essence to activate Woli Immortal Gu.
Before the heavenly tribulation descended, he frantically threw punches, creating illusory images of his own power.
Wanwo's killing move is very powerful, especially as his own strength and Dao traces have increased, the power that this killing move can unleash is many times stronger than before.
He has absorbed five thousand power Dao traces from that power Dao seal stone, and now he has more than six thousand power Dao traces on his body.
The number of Dao traces in this body is greater than the number of Dao traces contained in a typical seventh-level Gu Immortal!
Ye Ming was not afraid of tangible heavenly tribulations; with the combined strength of his forces, he could easily overcome them. It was the ethereal, mysterious, and unpredictable heavenly tribulations that required the most attention.
"Boom!"
In the blink of an eye, thousands of illusory figures of power flew out.
After such a long period of accumulation, his Qingti Immortal Essence had already broken through the three thousand mark, and he was completely unafraid of consumption.
The two energies of heaven and earth continued to circulate, and the number of Ye Ming's illusory figures around him increased.
In the sky, on the ground, and among the mountains, as far as the eye could see, there were countless illusory images of Ye Ming.
With Ye Ming's current strength, he can maintain these phantoms for a whole day without them dissipating.
One day is more than enough to pass through the heavenly tribulation.
When the illusory force reached a million, Ye Ming sensed a limit in his mind; the heavenly tribulation was coming soon.
He activated the Gu worms, closed the portal to the immortal aperture, and waited quietly within it.
Taking advantage of this moment, he carefully examined the Gu worm in his hand again to prevent any accidents.
Moments later, the heavenly tribulation finally arrived.
The immortal aperture began to vibrate, and countless streams of heaven and earth energy surged out from all directions and every corner.
This is the Qi of Heaven and Earth contained within the Immortal Aperture. In the blink of an eye, the two energies of Heaven and Earth collided with each other, forming boundless black clouds.
Lightning flashed, winds howled, and a terrifying power of thunder seemed to be gathering in the clouds.
Ye Ming suddenly looked up at the sky above the Immortal Aperture.
"boom!!"
Thunder rumbled, and a bolt of lightning, tinged with azure light, suddenly struck down towards the blessed land of immortals below!
"A tribulation of lightning?"
Ye Ming murmured something, then soared into the sky, heading directly towards the azure lightning.
With a single palm strike, the force and energy on his body seemed to flicker with a faint glow.
A powerful handprint appeared, directly grasping the cyan lightning bolt and crushing it instantly!
Countless bolts of lightning exploded, yet failed to harm Ye Ming in the slightest.
The azure lightning shattered instantly, and the dense black clouds above churned as if stimulated by Ye Ming's attack.
"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!"
Three bolts of azure lightning, each as thick as a water bucket, descended once more, blasting towards the mountain peaks below the blessed land.
Such ferocious power would be unbearable for an ordinary sixth-level Gu Immortal without any immortal defensive killing moves; they simply couldn't withstand the bombardment of a single bolt of lightning.
Ye Ming raised an eyebrow and unleashed the Great Handprint of Ten Thousand Wo in succession, directly blocking the three bolts of lightning.
The Myriad Self Great Handprint, which gathers millions of Ye Ming's illusory images and is further enhanced by more than six thousand power Dao traces, has long since reached an unimaginably terrifying level of power.
"Snap!!"
The three bolts of azure lightning shattered instantly. Ye Ming smiled calmly and said, "There's no need for a tribulation of this level to exist!"
His body flashed with light, and he suddenly unleashed a palm strike towards the dark clouds in the sky!
A massive handprint, thousands of feet in size, appeared from the void and slammed directly towards the surging dark clouds in the sky.
The entire sky above the Immortal Aperture seemed to be completely enveloped by this giant hand.
Thunder rumbled, as if sensing Ye Ming's provocation. Thousands of bolts of lightning simultaneously burst forth, converging into a terrifying bolt of lightning that slammed directly into the enormous hand.
The moment the palm collided with the pillar of lightning, an extremely dazzling light was generated, covering the entire sky of the Immortal Aperture Blessed Land.
At that moment, the Gu Masters and Soul Beasts living in the blessed land felt a burst of intense light erupt from the sky, dazzling their eyes.
Just as they closed their eyes, a terrifying demonic sound, like the sky exploding, rang in their ears again—the earth-shattering sound of a hand colliding with lightning.
Countless Gu Masters had blood streaming from their ears, and many Soul Beasts trembled with fear, prostrating themselves on the ground, no longer daring to look up at the sky.
Even Di Tian and Shen Cui kept their eyes tightly closed until the intense light dissipated before daring to open them and look at the sky.
Above the sky, the pillar of lightning, formed from the combined energies of heaven and earth, began to crumble inch by inch the moment it collided with the giant handprint.
It was as if even the thunder, representing divine punishment, could not stop the massive hand from enveloping everything.
Ye Ming stood in mid-air below, his palm suddenly pressing down.
Rumble!
The massive handprint, thousands of feet long, pressed down once more, shattering the pillar of lightning that had been blocking their path. Along with it, the rolling dark clouds that had blanketed the entire blessed land for thousands of miles also broke apart.
At this moment, it seemed as if Ye Ming's Myriad Self Great Handprint was the Heavenly Tribulation, while the rolling black clouds resembled those undergoing tribulation being shattered by the Heavenly Tribulation.
The dark clouds dissipated, and the sky regained its light.
This immense lightning tribulation, which would have deterred most people, was actually shattered by Ye Ming!
Standing in mid-air, Ye Ming witnessed this scene, but his face remained expressionless. A tribulation that occurs only once every hundred years, and was generated by his Mighty True Martial Body, could not possibly dissipate so easily.
Sure enough, almost the instant the thick black clouds dissipated, three gates of light flashing white appeared in the sky.
"Aww!!"
A giant dragon, its body a deep blue-green and hundreds of feet long, suddenly burst out from the white light gate and rushed straight toward the blessed land in the distance.
When it opened its huge mouth, countless dense heavenly fires descended upon the world, as if to burn down the entire blessed land.
"The Calamity of Ancient Wild Beasts!"
