Chapter 2656 - 2656 Self Severing Tribulation (2 in 1)
2656 Self Severing Tribulation (2 in 1)
Han Fei retreated a distance, only to see two sea dragons rolling and slapping in front of the palace, biting and fighting fiercely. All kinds of time techniques emerged one after another.
In the ripples of the Great Dao of Time, the two of them appeared and disappeared…
Han Fei could roughly understand why the ominous Mo Qi said so much to him. She was probably still worried that he would attack unreasonably. If that was the case, regardless of whether she could win or not, she would be dead meat.
Therefore, she hoped to make Han Fei drop the idea of killing her by saying that she could still be a normal person.
Of course, Mo Qi wouldn’t let Han Fei interfere in her battle of Dao Proving. Therefore, as long as she could win and Han Fei wouldn’t attack her, she would win this round.
And Han Fei was also considering this question. What if this ominous Mo Qi won? Since it was ominous and negative, how could it transform into positive?
Could it be that there was the saying of putting down the butcher’s knife and immediately becoming a Buddha?
Han Fei was puzzled. He felt that this theory didn’t work at all. However, he didn’t know enough about this aspect and didn’t know why it didn’t make sense.
But Han Fei still had someone to ask. This person was the Emperor Sparrow.
As the incarnation of the ominous and the ancestor of the negative, the Emperor Sparrow had a lot of inherited memories. He hadn’t discussed with the Emperor Sparrow about Slaying Self to Prove Dao, but the latter should know something about it.
Han Fei said, “Emperor Sparrow, let me ask you something.”
In his Origin Star, the Emperor Sparrow responded, “What’s the matter?”
Han Fei asked, “Do you know that everyone has the ominous in their bodies?”
“Yes, but in fact, this saying is not completely correct. The correct saying is that there is an ominous seed in everyone’s body. We can call it the negative.”
“An ominous seed?”
The Emperor Sparrow said, “Do you remember that the Nine Giant God Turtle told you that the ominous can be divided into four levels? The second level is birth. He can silently plant an ominous seed in people’s hearts, which will unknowingly strengthen itself until one day, the seed begins to bite back. In fact, in the blood of countless races in the Sea Realm, there is such a seed. But most people die before they can cultivate to a high realm, so this seed has no chance of backlash…”
“Wait a minute, according to what you said, doesn’t it mean that the ominous have already spread throughout the Sea Realm?”
“You can understand it that way. But as I said before, this statement is not entirely correct. We can call the seed without the ability to backfire ‘the negative’. The negative is not completely the ominous, but if it is not controlled, it will be given enough opportunity to eventually return to the ominous.”
Han Fei asked, “What do you mean? What do you mean by ‘give enough opportunities’?”
The Emperor Sparrow said, “For example, you are one with the negative. You actually grew up together. You are him, and he is you. The stronger you are, the stronger he will be. In theory, you two are inseparable. Only when you’re proving Dao will there be a possibility of backlash from the negative in the Monarch-level Tribulation. Because at that time, he will have a chance to suppress the positive consciousness of the original body. To put it bluntly, you can actually understand it as the Inner Demon Tribulation in the heavenly tribulation or the Sky Fiend Tribulation. However, in the Monarch-level Tribulation, it’s called the Self Severing Tribulation. If you can’t survive this tribulation, then you will probably think that you’ll be dead. In fact, that’s not true. What dies is actually your positive side, not your negative side. Your negative side will return to the ominous. As for how it will exactly happen, I don’t know.”
“Hiss!”
Han Fei’s eyes immediately lit up. He knew that this ominous Mo Qi wasn’t telling the truth. Replacing Mo Qi? What the hell did she mean by replacing Mo Qi? It turned out that she was fooling him so that he wouldn’t take action.
Looking at the two people who were still fighting, Han Fei was not in a hurry but continued, “What if I get rid of my negative side in advance?”
The Emperor Sparrow said, “There are strong masters who can cut out their negative side in advance. However, the cut-out negative is not completely the ominous. He is still the Self Severing Tribulation, but this tribulation has been cut out in advance. Before proving Dao, if he can kill the negative in advance, then when he is proving Dao, the Self Severing Tribulation won’t exist. Others have nine tribulations, but you’ll only have eight. This will greatly increase the success rate of Dao Proving.”
“Eight tribulations? Really?”
“Generally speaking, only a very small number of people with very powerful talent and potential will sever the negative in advance when they estimate they can’t survive the Monarch-level Tribulation. This way, it can greatly reduce the probability of their death when they prove Dao. Most people actually still use the conventional method of proving Dao. They will only face the Self Severing Tribulation when they prove Dao.”
“Estimate they can’t survive the Monarch-level Tribulation?”
Han Fei couldn’t help but frown. He had a bad feeling after hearing what the Emperor Sparrow said. Was someone secretly helping him?
However, when he was in the Raging Sea, his father was secretly helping him. But who would do this for him in the Sea Realm?
It should be impossible for his parents. They might not even have the time to take care of themselves now. How could they have the time to go to the Sea Realm to help arrange things for him? It shouldn’t be the senior brothers and sisters of the Void Temple either. The Void Temple never interfered with its disciples’ cultivation. Every ten-year or hundred-year gathering of the Void Temple was actually a precious opportunity. The disciples of the Void Temple had to rely on themselves for the most of the time.
But apart from the Void Temple, who else would secretly help him?
Or could it be that he was indeed lucky enough to encounter a super powerhouse in the Dao Enlightenment Palace of the Divine Capital Dynasty and obtain a huge opportunity?
In any case, that person helped him sever the negative in advance. He didn’t understand it before, but now it seemed that this was definitely a good thing.
The Emperor Sparrow said, “Have you severed your negative side in advance?”
Han Fei thought for a moment and didn’t mention this to the Emperor Sparrow. When he was in the Dao Enlightenment Palace, he had lost contact with his Origin Star, so he didn’t remember mentioning it to the Emperor Sparrow.
However, it wasn’t too late for him to know the secret. This time, he just needed to know that the ominous Mo Qi lied.
Han Fei nodded. “Yes! You can think that way. But I have to find that guy and kill him.”
“You have the Vast Ocean Navigator, so it shouldn’t be a problem. I’m just curious. The person who can help you sever the negative is probably quite strong. He has to be at least a Great Monarch. Without this strength, it’s impossible for him to help others sever the negative.”
Thinking that the person’s back had been facing him from the beginning to the end, Han Fei didn’t see his appearance clearly, so he couldn’t tell if he knew him or not.
However, Han Fei estimated that he probably didn’t know him. So far, he had only seen a handful of Great Monarchs. He had seen Great Monarch East Martial, but the back of the mysterious powerhouse was different from Great Monarch East Martial. But in the Great Monarch realm, it was too simple to disguise himself, so Han Fei had no idea who would help him sever the negative.
However, he couldn’t figure out these questions now. Han Fei just said, “Hey! Have you experienced the Self Severing Tribulation?”
“No, I don’t need to experience it. I’m a kind of creature that doesn’t need to sever the negative.”
Han Fei: “…”
After a pause, the Emperor Sparrow continued, “In fact, there are quite a few creatures that don’t need to sever the negative. Generally speaking, Companion Spirits don’t need to sever the negative. Companion Spirits grow based on their master’s growth. The master’s upper limit is most likely the upper limit of Companion Spirits. If the master severs the negative, although Companion Spirits still have to undergo tribulations, most of them don’t need to pass the Self Severing Tribulation. Furthermore, ordinary Companion Spirits’ tribulations are usually easier to transcend. This might be a preferential treatment given to Companion Spirits by the Heavenly Dao. But I’m different. Although I won’t have the Self Severing Tribulation, I’ll still have nine tribulations. I just don’t know how many tribulations I’ll have this time since I’ve become a Companion Spirit.”
Han Fei asked, “Are you an ordinary Companion Spirit?”
The Emperor Sparrow was silent for a while. “No!”
The Emperor Sparrow seemed to see Mo Qi who was fighting through Han Fei. It said, “You can help this woman when the time is right. Being able to sever the negative in advance proves that she’s not an ordinary Heavenly Talent. She must have great potential. It won’t be a bad thing to be on good terms with her.”
“Oh?”
This was the first time the Emperor Sparrow asked him to help others. Han Fei was a little surprised.
The Emperor Sparrow continued, “But even if you can sever the negative in advance, it doesn’t mean that he won’t appear again. As long as you’re alive, the negative will still appear. But after severing the negative, even if the new negative is born, it’s impossible for him to contend with you unless in special circumstances.”
Han Fei frowned. “In other words, he will still appear. Will I still have to face this tribulation during the divine tribulation?”
The Emperor Sparrow said, “I guess not. Just the Monarch realm isn’t enough for you to grow to the point where the negative can contend with you. Unless you’re corroded by the ominous and accelerate the growth of the negative or something. In short, you have to be careful when dealing with the ominous, but for now, this seems to be far away from you.”
Han Fei said, “Heh! It’s not far away. I often hear that now.”
Suddenly…
Just as Han Fei was chatting happily with the Thearch Sparrow, he saw a Dharmakaya rising from the ground where the two of them were fighting in front of the palace.
This Dharmakaya had a human face and a snake body. Its eyes were pitch-black, and black flames were spewing out of its body!
Han Fei felt that this Dharmakaya looked strange enough, and the Emperor Sparrow said, “It’s the Candle Dragon Dharmakaya, a powerful Dharmakaya that once ranked among the top ten Dhammakaya. I don’t know where it ranks right now.”
This Candle Dragon Dharmakaya was summoned by Mo Qi. It wasn’t an inevitable process to advance from a Dharmakaya to a Dharma Idol. A Dharma Idol didn’t necessarily crush a Dharmakaya.
Anyway, at this moment, Mo Qi summoned her Dharmakaya and shouted, “You ominous deserve to be killed. You can copy my memories, but can you copy my Dharmakaya? I obtained this 8,000 years ago. If I’ve guessed right, what you have is only the Green Snake Dharmakaya.”
Ominous Mo Qi’s face changed drastically and she seemed to be a little panicked. Han Fei did see a Green Snake Dharmakaya descend.
One dragon and one snake were entangled. Almost in the blink of an eye, the body of the Green Snake Dharmakaya became much weaker. The impact of the two collided, rolling up the power of time, containing the power of time corrosion.
Even Han Fei couldn’t help but activate the Great Dao of Time to condense a time barrier.
On the other side, Mo Qi couldn’t help but smile. “I’ve long eliminated the Green Snake Dharmakaya. Let’s see how you can stop me.”
However, Han Fei frowned slightly. This Green Snake Dharmakaya seemed to be different. Look at its fading shadow…
Suddenly, Han Fei shouted, “Mo Qi, that’s not a Green Snake Dharmakaya, but a Dharma Idol.”
Mo Qi was still feeling smug when she was shocked by Han Fei’s words. But on second thought, so what? The Green Snake Dharma Idol was originally outside the top 100. Even if it fused with the ominous Mo Qi and condensed a Dharma Idol, it wouldn’t surpass the Candle Dragon Dharmakaya.
However, the ominous Mo Qi glanced at Han Fei coldly. In the next moment, she screamed, “Dragon Swallowing.”
Buzz!
The Green Snake Dharmakaya completely disappeared. With the protection of the Great Dao of Time, it transformed into a huge green snake that was tens of thousands of feet long and swallowed the Candle Dragon Dharmakaya into its stomach.
This scene stunned Han Fei.
The ominous Mo Qi won this round, but Mo Qi indeed panicked. How could she have expected her Candle Dragon Dharmakaya to be swallowed just like that? That’s a f*cking dragon! Furthermore, that’s a legendary ancient divine beast, Candle Dragon. It’s really embarrassing that it was swallowed just like that! Furthermore, this is my trial to prove my Dao. If I lose, it’ll be over.
“Dragon Flame Wave~”
The Candle Dragon that was swallowed by the green snake naturally wouldn’t give up struggling. In fact, the Candle Dragon was still very powerful. The dragon flames directly pierced through the green snake.
However, the place where the green snake was pierced was quickly repaired with the power of time.
At this moment, ominous Mo Qi sneered. “Time Corrosion.”
When the combat skills weren’t much different, ordinary combat methods and techniques became the deciding factor. Ominous Mo Qi wanted to use the power of time acceleration to wear out Mo Qi’s Candle Dragon Dharmakaya.
After all, a Dharmakaya could only exist for a finite time. Once the avatar couldn’t withstand the damage, it would be destroyed sooner or later, and it couldn’t be summoned easily.
Seeing this, the Candle Dragon Dharmakaya became even more irritable. Mo Qi realized that she had underestimated her enemy. The Candle Dragon Dharmakaya was clearly stronger than the Green Snake Dharmakaya, but because she had underestimated her enemy, this objective advantage was gone.
At this moment, Mo Qi was going all out. With a thought, she spewed out a mouthful of essence blood and detonated the Candle Dragon Dharmakaya. In a disadvantageous situation, she had to destroy the Green Snake Dharmakaya of the ominous Mo Qi.
Fortunately, the Candle Dragon Dharmakaya was indeed strong. Therefore, even though the Green Snake Dharma Idol swallowed the Candle Dragon Dharmakaya, it was still annihilated by the explosion.
At this point, the Green Snake Dharma Idol and the Candle Dragon Dharmakaya disappeared one after another.
Han Fei was speechless. Mo Qi might have grasped the Great Dao of Time well, but she didn’t have much combat experience.
It wasn’t that Mo Qi hadn’t fought enough battles, but that she had been tricked again. She could have had the upper hand, but she had been tricked by the other party.
However, such a sinister method of the ominous Mo Qi’s was most likely to inherit her original body.
In normal battles, Mo Qi didn’t have an advantage. Mo Qi seemed to have realized the seriousness of the problem. Although someone had created conditions for her, the difficulty to sever the negative was still beyond her expectations.
Before, she didn’t realize that severing the negative was the condition for Dao Proving, but now that she had, she knew that this battle was the key to her Dao Proving.
At this moment, Han Fei said, “She lied to you just now. Even if she wins, she can’t replace you. Self Severing Tribulation is one of the Monarch-level Tribulations, so once she really kills you, she will completely turn into an ominous creature. So, don’t just treat her as an opponent. You have to treat her as a Monarch-level Tribulation.”
“What?”
“A Monarch-level Tribulation?”
While Mo Qi was surprised, she looked at Han Fei again. She didn’t know why Han Fei suddenly knew this. If you knew, why didn’t you say it earlier? Why didn’t you say it so late?
It had to be known that ominous Mo Qi was certain that Han Fei wouldn’t kill her, so she lied. But once this truth was revealed, the situation was different.
Sure enough, Mo Qi was refreshed. “You’re just a tribulation, the Self Severing Tribulation. You fake, you want to kill me? Time Retrospect.”
Although Han Fei only reminded her, facing her other self was completely different from facing a heavenly tribulation.
In the face of a substitute who could almost replace him, ordinary people would be afraid, worried, and nervous. But in the face of a Monarch-level Tribulation, there was only one mentality, which was to overcome and resist it.
Han Fei stabilized Mo Qi’s Dao heart, letting her understand that she was she and couldn’t be replaced. She was unique and she was the true Mo Qi.
Although it seemed to be a useless belief, it was completely different on the Dao heart level.
Therefore, at that moment, Mo Qi seemed to understand what to do.
After understanding that ominous Mo Qi would never become her, Mo Qi chose to use the most basic power of the Time Temple, Time Retrospect.
However, this time, the person she wanted to trace back to was herself.
As if understanding Mo Qi’s thoughts, Ominous Mo Qi let out a strange cry and crazily charged at Mo Qi. As she was cut out by Mo Qi, Mo Qi could trace back to her original self and kill the ominous Mo Qi. However, as the ominous Mo Qi had been cut out, no matter how she traced back, she wouldn’t have the power to kill her original self. This was because their strength was balanced at first.
Therefore, once Mo Qi tracked really back, although she might not be able to kill the ominous Mo Qi, she could change the current situation.
Seeing that ominous Mo Qi was panicking, Mo Qi sneered in her heart. She had been waiting for this opportunity. At the moment when ominous Mo Qi pounced at her, Mo Qi tore open the space in front of her with one hand. She saw fluctuations suddenly appear in the space that had stopped time. It was actually connected to the river of time.
Upon seeing this, Han Fei hurriedly retreated. He thought to himself, Mo Qi has cut off the river of time!
“Oh my god, she can do this too?”
With her body as the foundation, Mo Qi severed the river of time and rolled herself and the ominous Mo Qi in. Seeing this scene, Han Fei knew that Mo Qi had won.
There was no other reason. This was Mo Qi’s territory. No matter how hard the ominous Mo Qi cultivated, she was only cultivating alone. However, Mo Qi was different. In the past tens of thousands of years, she had grasped much more time techniques than the ominous Mo Qi.
In the river of time, Han Fei felt that even he might not be a match for Mo Qi who had mastered all kinds of methods.
Although he had also grasped the Great Dao of Time, he had never fought in the river of time. Even if he could fight, it would only be in an extremely short period of time.
In the home field of the Time Temple, although he might not lose, with the Great Dao of Time he had grasped so far, the odds of winning didn’t seem to be high.
Boom ~
Less than a minute after Mo Qi and the ominous Mo Qi entered the river of time, Han Fei saw that one of the chains that clasped the palace had broken.
The breakage of these chains was definitely related to Mo Qi. Although Han Fei’s perception range was less than one second, it was difficult to define their fighting time in the river of time.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The eighteen time chains that locked the palace were broken one after another. With every broken one, the palace seemed to flicker.
When all the eighteen chains were broken, with a creak, the bronze door of the palace slowly opened.
“Huh!”
Han Fei was surprised. Mo Qi hadn’t returned yet. How did this palace open?
When Han Fei took a closer look, he saw Mo Qi walking out of the palace.
Han Fei: “???”
Han Fei asked in surprise, “Wait, when did you run inside?”
Mo Qi just stood at the door and looked at Han Fei with a complicated expression. “It’s a long story. It’s not until now that I understand. What the Time Chains shackle is not the palace, but my own path. I’m about to prove Dao, right here and now. But I might have to go back on my word. I’m afraid I won’t be able to help you deal with the City of Scavengers. Now that my master will come personally, I won’t have a chance to stay here anymore.”
Han Fei couldn’t help but frown. “What? How long will it take for you to prove Dao?”
Mo Qi shook her head. “You don’t understand! But you’ll understand sooner or later.”
Han Fei was lost for words. “Wait, what do you mean? Why should I understand it? I’m not from the Temple of Time. You owe me a favor. I’ve helped you a lot on this journey, haven’t I? You’re leaving just like that?”
Mo Qi said, “Tell me the way of Time Cycle, plus the favor I owe you, and I’ll give you the Time Resurrection Technique in exchange. Is that okay?”
Han Fei shivered and said without thinking, “Okay.”
Han Fei was about to burst into fury a second earlier, wondering why the girl was so untrustworthy. The next second, he got such a good offer. How could he refuse to trade for such a good thing? Only a fool would refuse to trade for one of the six great techniques of the Time Temple.
Although he didn’t like them, he couldn’t deny how powerful they were.
With a thought from Han Fei, a jade slip flew out.
Mo Qi waved her hand and unfolded a painting. The painting was engraved on a jade bone and disappeared into it. As long as Han Fei traced it back, he could learn the Time Resurrection Technique.
When Han Fei took the jade bone, Mo Qi said, “Let’s go! My master is coming. The Prophecy House in the City of Wanderers is yours…”
Mo Qi wanted to say something but hesitated. After a pause, she said, “You’d better not show your scimitars in front of the powerhouses of the Time Temple. The consequences will be very serious…”
“Huh?”
Han Fei was about to ask something when the power of time here had already disappeared. When Han Fei looked again, there was no palace here. He had been sent out of this area by Mo Qi.
This time node disappeared, and he appeared in the Chaotic Wasteland again.
“Her master is coming? It seems that Mo Qi is the disciple of a powerful figure from the Time Temple!”
Han Fei thought that if what the Emperor Sparrow said was true, it was also a huge opportunity for Mo Qi to sever the negative in advance. Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to obtain such an opportunity.
It could be seen that Mo Qi’s master was definitely a very powerful existence.
Don’t show the Blade of Hope? Then he remembered that the Blade of Hope could easily cut through time. Did this mean that he could suppress the Great Dao of Time with the Blade of Hope?
Now, he could suppress the Great Dao of Time. In the future, would he use this to suppress the powerful figures of the Time Temple? Therefore, Mo Qi reminded him?
Buzz!
Han Fei turned around and left without looking back. The powerhouse of the Time Temple had arrived. If anything was seen through by him, wouldn’t he be in danger? If he attacked him, wouldn’t he have to call Eldest Senior Brother for help? That would waste a Void Mark. So, the best choice was to run.
…
Another moment later.
At a certain time, a valiant woman appeared in front of Mo Qi. This woman looked at Mo Qi for a long time and said indifferently, “I made you guard here alone for thirteen thousand years. Isn’t it hard?”
Mo Qi cupped her hands. “Master, it’s not hard.”
The woman looked back with blue light flashing in her eyes as if she was tracing back at something. In the end, she said indifferently, “I’ll guard you. Now prove your Dao.”
