Su Yi stood with his hands behind his back, gazing up at the sky. The mountain winds blew past, rustling his blue robes.
âFellow Daoist, what⊠exactly did you do earlier?â Po Suo couldnât help but ask. She truly couldnât fathom what Su Yi had done earlier.
Su Yi couldnât help but laugh. âIf even you donât understand, do you think the Nine Serenities Netherworld Crowâs brain will be up to the task?â
Po Suo was stunned, but she was finally starting to understand. âYouâre deliberately misleading it to lure it out?â
âPetty tricks like this have always been the most useful,â said Su Yi. âAfter all, as you said, the crow is crafty and alert. If it senses a threat, itâs sure to flee right away. If I want it to show itself, I naturally canât alarm it.â
He paused, then continued, âOf course, if all I did was place a pathetic trap like that, the crow naturally would disdain to even look at it. Thatâs why I used the deerâs rotting corpse to provoke it.â
âEveryone fears nothing more than failing to escape it in time, yet Iâm doing the exact opposite. What do you think the bird will think about that?â
Po Suo said instinctively, âItâll naturally wonder, but it wonât be able to figure out your intentions.â
Su Yi nodded. âThe longer you live, the more your thoughts weigh on you. When it canât wrap its head around what Iâm up to, itâll naturally show up of its own accord.â
Po Suo twirled the lock of white hair beside her ear. âAnd what if it doesnât come?â
Su Yi responded with another question. âIf someone with a cultivation base like mine used such an unsightly trap to provoke you, and you canât tell what they were thinking, what would you do?â
âIâd find it quite strange,â said Po Suo.
Su Yi nodded. âIn the eyes of the Nine Serenities Netherworld Crow, a Spiritual Incarnation cultivator is no different from an ant. Itâd be awfully strange if it ignored an âantâ provoking it and pretended nothing happened.â
He paused, then looked at Po Suo. âBesides, youâre here too. To the best of my knowledge, this particular variety of feathered beast loves little more than devouring spiritual bodies like you.â
â.....â Po Suoâs beautiful eyebrows knit together, and she said helplessly, âAlright, now I understand. So you brought me with you not to act as your dharma protector, but so that you could lure out the Nine Serenities Netherworld Crow.â
Su Yi laughed. âNo, I had no idea the bird would appear in Red Cloud Ridge. Besides, do you think youâll be in danger with me here?â
Po Suo shook her head. âNo, I suppose not.â
She understood the Swordmaster of Abstruse Forceâs character. She naturally knew he wouldnât trick her maliciously.
As they conversed, ink-dark tribulation clouds suddenly swept in over the horizon. In just a few blinks of the eye, they enveloped the entire stretch of sky.
The oppressive aura of an impending calamity spread throughout the landscape.
âFellow Daoist, if the Nine Serenities Netherworld Crow shows up as you undergo tribulation, itâll be quite disadvantageous for you.â Po Suo frowned.
âYou donât understand,â said Su Yi casually. âMy tribulations are different from other peopleâs. Just stand aside and watch.â
His expression was perfectly calm and composed. He didnât seem the least bit flustered.
Po Suo said no more. She just moved further away.
A Tribulation of Spiritual Revolution, thatâs all. It shouldnât be able to threaten the reincarnated Swordmaster of Abstruse Force.
However, against Po Suoâs expectations, as time passed, the tribulation clouds got thicker and thicker, plunging the world into a seemingly eternal darkness. The terrifying, calamitous aura shocked even her.
Is this really the aura of a Tribulation of Spiritual Revolution? But it doesnât seem any weaker than the Tribulations of Profound Illumination cultivators face as they attempt to prove their Daos and become EmperorsâŠ
Po Suoâs gaze shifted, and ripples coursed through her heart.
Sheâd lived since ancient times, and she'd experienced the ups and downs of countless years. Sheâd witnessed countless tribulations big and small.
But this was her first time seeing such a strange and perilous Tribulation of Spiritual Revolution.
The tribulation had yet to truly begin, but its aura was already unbelievably terrifying.
It wasnât much weaker than a Tribulation of Profound Illumination!
He sure is a strange oneâŠÂ The Nine Serenities Netherworld Crow watched from the distant darkness, a strange light in its blood-red eyes.
It had originally planned to intervene and ruin Su Yiâs mental state, ensuring that he perished during his tribulation.
But now, it changed its mind.
It had never witnessed such an enormous Tribulation of Spiritual Revolution, and it wanted to see how Su Yi handled it.
If Su Yi had hope of successfully overcoming his tribulation, it wouldnât mind intervening to snuff out his hope completely.
If Su Yi failed his tribulation, thereâd be no need for it to intervene. Su Yi would perish, his Dao disappearing with him.
Boomââ!!
Before long, the dense tribulation clouds filling the sky churned, and the low rumble of thunder reverberated through the sky, shaking the mountains, rivers, and everything in them.
Streaks of tribulation lightning, each as thick as a dragon, surged within the depths of the clouds. Even watching from a distance, it was unsettling enough to make oneâs hair stand on end.
The Tribulation of Spiritual Revolution had three layers. They targeted the cultivatorâs body, soul, and mind in turn.
Each was more terrifying than the one before.
Throughout history, out of a hundred peak Spiritual Incarnation cultivators, only a handful would successfully overcome their tribulation.
The others would either fail, suffering heavy injuries in the process, or be destroyed, their souls dispersed.
And the Tribulation of Spiritual Revolution targeted at Su Yi was far beyond what other cultivators faced. The word âterrifying" was insufficient to describe it.
This was an extremely unusual tribulation. It seemed it had no intention of leaving Su Yi any hope of success!
In simple terms, this tribulation was here to annihilate him!
However, Su Yi was already accustomed to this sort of thing. Heâd encountered similarly strange tribulations several times now. The only difference was that this time, it was his Tribulation of Spiritual Revolution.
That kid is doomed! When the Nine Serenities Netherworld Crow saw this, terror coursed through it. The strange aura filling the tribulation left it quivering with fright.
Boom!!
The tribulation had been brewing for a long time, but it was finally about to begin. The tribulation clouds churned, and tribulation lightning tore through the darkened skies, then crashed down.
Its radiance thoroughly illuminated both heaven and earth.
Po Suo couldnât help but clench her fists, her starry eyes grave. This tribulation⊠is far too terrifying!
But Su Yi just laughed and swung his sleeves.
Whoosh!
A ten-thousand-foot mysterious and inscrutable streak of sword qi rose like a cyclone, sweeping through the skies.
How powerful was the radiant tribulation descending from the heavens? And how terrifying? It was enough to make Profound Illumination Emperors tremble.
Yet in the face of this one slash, it burst like paper mache, scattering into a rain of light and dispersing!
âThisâŠâ The Nine Serenities Netherworld Crowâs red eyes bulged. What the hell?
Po Suo was unwittingly stunned too. How could one slash be so strong?
But then, an even more unexpected scene unfolded before themâ
Su Yiâs tall, upright figure took to the skies. He strode through the air, leaping into the depths of the tribulation clouds!
His entire body was shrouded in obscure and mysterious Dao Light, and he seemed as contemptuous as an immortal. With every swoosh of his sleeves, forceful and indomitable sword intent shot forth, cleaving through the clouds.
This seemed to infuriate the surging tribulation light, which rumbled and roared. Lightning surged toward him, as if intent on enveloping and destroying him.
Su Yi didnât retreat. No, on the contrary, he charged right in, his sword intent free and unrestrained as he left about, slashing his way through the relentlessly churning tribulation lightning.
From a distance, he seemed like an immortal or deity waging war amidst the clouds, forceful beyond imagining!
âFellow Daoist SuâŠâ Even Po Suo was stunned. Her heart shook, and she could no longer remain calm.
How terrifying and unusual was this tribulation? Any other Spirit Dao cultivator would have likely perished already, their soul dispersed.
Even an Emperor wouldnât necessarily be able to clash with such a tribulation head-on!
But look at Su Yi! He was slashing his way into the nine heavens, cutting through the clouds, as domineering as a god!
When did a little monster like this appear in the Netherworld? The Nine Serenities Netherworld Crow was stunned too. Its blood-red eyes filled with uncertainty, and it was thoroughly stunned.

There had absolutely never been a tribulation like this before.
Whoâd dare imagine that in the face of this taboo grand tribulation, a young Spiritual Incarnation cultivator would dare fight his way into the tribulation clouds?
The Nine Serenities Netherworld Crow originally planned to wait and see if the tribulation would kill Su Yi or not.
But now, it didnât plan to wait any longer.
âHah!â The bird let out a sound like supernatural roaring.
The Netherworld Heart-Disrupting Curse!
This was a sinister forbidden curse that could attack and disrupt the minds of any cultivator beneath the Imperial level. It represented calamitous power and upheaval.
âThe Nine Serenities Netherworld Crow is here!â Po Suo narrowed her eyes.
In that moment, something assailed her heart and mind. A strange, calamitous power, like the chaotic dancing of a demonic god, seemed intent on shattering her mental state.
However, when she circulated her cultivation base, she quickly dispersed this calamitous power.
Whoosh!
Practically simultaneously, a dark rain of light swept toward Po Suo.
The rain was like a curtain, blotting out the skies and obscuring the sun, like the onset of an eternal night. It gave off the impression that there was nowhere to run and nowhere to hide.
A cold look appeared on Po Suoâs face, and her slender white fingers formed seals.
Boom!
A mountainous divine seal appeared out of nowhere, bursting with immeasurable radiance and forcefully exploding the descending curtain of darkness.
A rain of light scattered, and the Nine Serenities Netherworld Crow came into view.
âSo, itâs you! The spirit of the Cui Familyâs Tree of Ten Thousand Daos!â The Nine Serenities Netherworld Crow said coldly. It seemed surprised, but it also seemed enlightened.
A moment later, it laughed coldly. âAlas, even with someone like you acting as his dharma protector, that kid will surely perish now that Iâve used the Netherworld Heart-Disrupting CurseâŠâ
The crow had only just said this when its voice came to an abrupt halt. It suddenly looked up at the dome of heaven.
There, it saw a streak of dazzling light illuminating the nine heavens and the ten earths.
The sword qi was as dazzling as the sun illuminating the heavens, and it seemed like the work of a god or immortal. There were no words to describe its terrifying power!
As it swept through the airâŠ
Boom!
The tribulation skies filling the dome of heaven exploded, and a rain of light poured down like a waterfall.
It seemed nothing could block that slash; it swept right through this unprecedented, grand tribulation, crushing it!
Light returned to the landscape formerly shrouded in a seemingly endless night.
As a rain of light scattered, Su Yi stood upright beneath the heavens, gazing proudly down upon the world below.
He seemed as eternal as a god; no number of tribulations could destroy him!
