Chapter 244: First Stage of Crossing the Tribulation
In the main hall of the flying treasure, Yi Chen practiced with all his strength.
Bai Ruo Xin, with the Little Gold Ball, controlled the flying treasure as they wandered through the mountains and rivers.
The former mainly wanted to stay close to Yi Chen.
The latter was genuinely there to have fun.
The four armies, with a growing number of powerful fierce beasts under their control, had not encountered any strong forces requiring Yi Chen’s direct involvement for a long time.
However, the Little Gold Ball, now only at level fifty, had countless opponents it could face.
With Bai Ruo Xin having some free time, she devised many tactics based on its attack methods and characteristics.
Naturally, they were having an absolute blast.
Days passed one after another.
Only Bai Ruo Xin, who had been granted permission to enter and exit the flying treasure freely, realized just how terrifying Yi Chen’s training speed had become.
In just six days, he broke through to Spirit Enlightenment Stage Six, and seven days later, he successfully advanced to Spirit Enlightenment Stage Seven.
In less than eight days, he broke through to Spirit Enlightenment Stage Eight.
In total, it was less than a month and a half, and a powerful aura uncontrollably radiated from Yi Chen’s body.
He faced almost no obstacles, effortlessly advancing to a new major realm.
An astonishing pressure spread out in all directions.
This forced Bai Ruo Xin, who was controlling the flying treasure and searching for fierce beast targets, to halt the flying treasure.
Taking the Little Gold Ball with her, she quickly entered the adjacent room, barely managing to withstand the onslaught of the pressure.
This pressure came quickly and dissipated just as fast.
Yi Chen soon reined it in.
After carefully sensing the principles of heaven and earth, he had mixed feelings.
The joy was that, just as he had predicted, after breaking through to a new major realm, his understanding of the laws of fate and the laws of causality had deepened enough to create a set of skills to extract luck.
The concern, however, was that after advancing to a new major realm, he faintly sensed a light suppression.
It was the suppression from the will of heaven.
He could feel that the new major realm was the limit of his evolution path.
To take another step forward would result in a qualitative change, evolving to a new level.
Because of this, attempting to break through to a higher major realm would likely attract the trials of the Laws of Heaven and Earth.
A phrase suddenly flashed through Yi Chen’s mind: Tribulation!
He let out a sigh of relief.
Decisively, he named this new realm the Crossing Tribulation Stage.
Remembering the days spent hiding in a cave, living modestly and relying on a few wild fruits to support his efforts in creating the Chaos Technique, all the memories were still vividly clear.
And just like that, seven years had passed.
He was getting close to his first major goal, rising to the very top of the strength pyramid on this planet.
He did not care about the Tribulation at all.
Having experienced the heart tribulation, he was far stronger than those top geniuses.
He could roughly guess that the reason was likely because he was the first person in humanity to undergo the heart tribulation.
As the first human to face the heart tribulation, he served as a guide for his entire race, which gave him a strength far beyond that of those who came later.
The Tribulation would undoubtedly be the same.
But no matter how powerful it was, it could not stop his terrifying talent.
The heart tribulation was perilous solely because he was completely unprepared.
Now, with mental preparation, he felt that with his talent, he only needed to create a set of powerful defensive skills before the Tribulation and refine a batch of defensive treasures to easily cope with it.
What truly concerned him was that after breaking through to a new major realm, he sensed that he had already reached the pinnacle of this planet’s ecosystem.
After the Tribulation, breaking through to an even higher major realm would mean that even the will of heaven on this planet could do nothing against him.
He would break free from this planet’s ecosystem, holding a transcendent status.
In simple terms, the entire planet was a massive ecosystem.
The will of heaven was born from the principles of heaven and earth and the power of the laws, serving as an administrator for this planet.
Its task was to ensure the entire ecosystem operated normally by using the laws of heaven and earth as a standard of judgment, rewarding and punishing based on luck in response to unpredictable thoughts and resulting behaviors of all living beings.
After breaking through to a higher major realm, his strength realm would no longer be inferior to the will of heaven on this planet.
Once he matched the will of heaven, it could not restrict him with luck or mobilize the planet’s resources to create life that could counter him.
He would be considered an outlaw on this planet.
He could also be regarded as an existence with supreme privileges.
However, similarly, the emergence of such unrestrained supreme privilege often heralds the collapse of the ecosystem.
Even if the will of heaven summoned the resources of the entire planet, it could not create life that could counter him.
Moreover, once his strength realm reached this level, further advancement would require an astonishing amount of resources.
The resources of this planet could not support him.
If he continued to accelerate his growth after breaking through to a higher major realm without any constraints, the entire planet would gradually fall into collapse due to the resulting chain reactions.
He faced two choices: either he, as a glutton, would go hungry and stop increasing his realm, or this planet would enter an end-of-law era, completely collapse and restart, entering a state of dormancy and recovery while he would be forced to wander through the vast space in search of new life planets.
In either case, Yi Chen did not want it to happen.
He could only jump out of this planet’s ecosystem in advance, seeking richer resources and life planets that could accommodate him.
Or he could find more similar life planets, using the resources from several life planets to offset his consumption to reach a level that would not trigger chain reactions.
The Great Flame Kingdom had not yet unified the entire planet.
Personally, his talent was too strong, and he was inadvertently approaching the point where he had to look for other life planets.
Fortunately, he was still only at the first stage of the Crossing Tribulation Stage and needed to spend a considerable amount of time creating many skills.
Breaking through to a higher major realm and reaching a higher level would take some time.
When the time came, he could decide based on the situation.
"Country Lord, have you broken through to a new major realm?"
Suddenly, Bai Ruo Xin’s voice rang out beside him.
"Yes!"
Yi Chen nodded.
"What will you do next, Country Lord?" Bai Ruo Xin asked.
"What next?"
Yi Chen was unsure why Bai Ruo Xin asked this suddenly, but he still answered,
"I need to create two new skills. I’ll create one first, and for the other, I’ll decide if there’s anything else to attend to."
"Then can we continue to wander around and enjoy the scenery?"
Bai Ruo Xin secretly let out a sigh of relief.
In just over a month, he had rapidly broken through five small realms and achieved a higher major realm.
With such speed, it was easy for her sharp mind to guess that once the outside world learned of it, it would undoubtedly bring tremendous danger to Yi Chen.
After Yi Chen’s breakthrough to a new major realm, according to the military’s rating, he was about level 90 or 91.
Even if he maintained his previous ability to challenge higher levels, he could only defeat full-level fierce beasts.
Because of this, she had been worried about how to keep Yi Chen from using flying treasures so that his current realm wouldn’t be known to the outside world in the short term.
Fortunately, Yi Chen decided to create new skills.
To create new skills, he had to first comprehend the world.
According to custom, it would take at least several months, if not longer.
This way, if Yi Chen then used flying treasures, the outside world would perceive that he had taken a few months, or even longer, to break into a new major realm.
This training speed would at least not be terrifying enough for the various tribes to consider Yi Chen an immediate threat that needed to be resolved as quickly as possible.
"Play however you like!"
Yi Chen did not think much about it and reentered his meditative state.
After stabilizing his realm, he would then enhance the intensity of his divine consciousness to the current realm’s limit.
Afterward, he began to understand and strengthen the laws of fate and the laws of causality.
