Urban All-Round Master

Chapter 1921 - 1911: Liu Shen Dies Under the Nine Layers Thunder Tribulation

"Alright, since Young Lin is quite apprehensive about this matter, let’s not discuss it any further. However, I can frankly tell Young Lin that given your current rapid cultivation growth, it may not be long before you become one of the Eastern Kings, one of the nineteen Eastern Kings! Once Young Lin achieves the status of Eastern King, would you be willing to tread the path of metamorphosis?!""Boom~" Waves stirred in Lin Zifeng’s mind once more. Could it be that, given his current situation, he can still embark on the path of metamorphosis? Just like his father? But everyone knows that the path of metamorphosis is extremely difficult, and taking that final step is truly challenging.

"The path of metamorphosis? What is this path of metamorphosis?" Lin Zifeng narrowed his eyes slightly. He had obtained some information about the path of metamorphosis from the handsome man, but it wasn’t comprehensive. He was equally filled with curiosity about the path of metamorphosis, but given his current situation, there was still a long way to go before reaching the Eastern King. Whether he could achieve sainthood was still a question. If he took the path of metamorphosis, it seemed almost impossible.

It’s important to know that achieving sainthood on the path of metamorphosis defies the heavens. The future holds countless uncertainties. Whether he can endure it is a massive question. If he doesn’t achieve sainthood and dies on the path of metamorphosis, then everything would be mere empty talk.

"Actually, the so-called path of metamorphosis can be taken by anyone who reaches the Sub-Saint Nine Layer Heaven. Of course, only the strongest Sub-Saints can embark on the path of metamorphosis. Those who are not the strongest Sub-Saints simply cannot take this path. Most who embark on the path of metamorphosis start before achieving sainthood. After all, the strength of the Eastern Kings, the strongest Sub-Saints, is almost equivalent, but those who endure the path of metamorphosis become immensely stronger after achieving sainthood compared to those who didn’t take the path. Just like Liu Shen from a thousand years ago, who trod the path of metamorphosis to become a top-tier saint."

"Are you saying that the path of metamorphosis only makes one’s cultivation and strength stronger after achieving sainthood? Are there no other benefits?" Lin Zifeng was still somewhat unclear. If it was purely about pursuing strength and cultivation by taking the path of metamorphosis, then it seemed too unworthy. Achieving sainthood itself is quite difficult, and if he embarks on the path of metamorphosis only to become a saint thereafter, the difficulty would be immense, and he might even die on the path before achieving sainthood. His father’s Holy War also took this path. This path is indeed too perilous, and if it’s not completed, one’s life might be lost!

"Young Lin, there’s something you don’t know. A thousand years ago, Liu Shen became the first top-tier saint not just through the path of metamorphosis; this path can also lead one to take the ultimate path of the True God in the future and achieve godhood!" Upon mentioning godhood, Qing Fu’s voice seemed to tremble slightly. After all, almost no one has achieved godhood in this world throughout the ages. Even top-tier saints like Liu Shen have died on the path to godhood.

"Godhood! There exists a divine presence in this world!" Lin Zifeng was shocked. Last time, he heard some clues from the handsome guy. It seems that when a person’s power reaches the strongest state in this world, they can be called a god. But it’s not the true sense of a god!

"No! In this world, there are no gods, but those who tread the path of metamorphosis have a chance to achieve divine status after becoming saints. Of course, to achieve godhood, one must endure the Nine Layers Thunder Tribulation. Once the Nine Layers Thunder Tribulation is overcome, they become the strongest in this world and can be called a god, reaching the Divine Realm. Their lifespan will continue to grow, living for several centuries won’t be an issue. Liu Shen from a thousand years ago lived for several centuries, didn’t he? Unfortunately, a generation of talents, even the person with the most hope, died in the Nine Layers Thunder Tribulation."

So Liu Shen died during the Nine Layers Thunder Tribulation? Lin Zifeng’s heart was jolted. If that’s the case, then isn’t his father also on the path of metamorphosis? If one day his father doesn’t perish and truly becomes the top-tier saint in this world, wouldn’t he aspire to achieve divine existence at that time? Walking Liu Shen’s path. But Liu Shen died during the Nine Layers Thunder Tribulation, could his father withstand it?

"The Nine Layers Thunder Tribulation, also known as Heavenly Tribulation, occurs when a cultivator’s power reaches an unacceptable level to heaven and earth, leading to the natural restraint by Heavenly Thunder. Under the Heavenly Thunder, survival is nearly impossible unless one possesses the strength of those truly mighty beings from ancient times. Otherwise, overcoming it is impossible."

Qing Fu continued with increasing intensity, causing all of Lin Zifeng’s thoughts to focus on the Nine Layers Thunder Tribulation. Now, his greatest fear was related to his father.

"Alright, Young Lin, these are future issues, but you can certainly walk the path of metamorphosis."

"Why?" Lin Zifeng frowned and asked. There’s too little known about the path of metamorphosis. He only knew that Liu Shen and his father took this path; nothing else. Who knows if taking this path might lead to death at any moment?

"Because you possess the divine artifact of a True God. The one who wields a divine artifact can harness its full potential to counteract the unjust Heavenly Tribulation. A thousand years ago, Liu Shen died with regrets; he wanted to refine his Heavenly Painting Halberd into a divine artifact but failed. It was incredibly difficult for an exceptional Holy Artifact to become a divine artifact. However, the Magic Bracelet in your hand was crafted by a True God."

"True God, are you referring to the Greece Goddess?" Lin Zifeng frowned again. All along, everyone said his Magic Bracelet was a legacy from the Greece Goddess. Yet Lin Zifeng hadn’t sensed the inheritance power of the Greece Goddess even now.

"The Twelve Western Gods, and the Magic Bracelet you hold is precisely an inheritance item from the Twelve Western Gods. In the future, many wonderful things will occur around you. By then, when you visit the West, you will naturally encounter the other eleven inheritors of the Twelve Western Gods." Qing Fu spoke mysteriously, as if he knew everything.

At this point, Lin Zifeng was most concerned about whether he could truly compare to an existence like Liu Shen after embarking on the path of metamorphosis. Or perhaps, on his journey, he could indeed walk the path of metamorphosis successfully? Of course, when he reached that pinnacle, his mindset and ideas couldn’t be compared with what it is now.

"Young Lin, your future will certainly be fascinating." Finally, Qing Fu slowly raised his head, and from the gray cloak, those shadowy green eyes sneaked a glance at him, then quickly lowered again. Lin Zifeng wanted to use his perspective to observe, but this guy had shielded himself with powerful elemental power from the moment he appeared, making it difficult to see clearly. With Lin Zifeng’s current cultivation, he still couldn’t see its true face.
