In Fortune Divine City, Mo Yang and the others were all trembling with fear.

The Great Silence Unlife Calamity! No one had expected that after Lin Xun had just achieved an unprecedented victory, this devastating tribulation would suddenly strike. In addition, who among the Eternals present didn't know about the power of this tribulation?

The Great Silence Unlife Calamity was the most feared among all within the Eternal Realm. In the past, this tribulation had wiped out countless exceptionally talented Eternals in other epochal civilizations!

"Lin Xun, come back quickly!" Xingjia immediately shouted, his voice echoing through the cosmos. This was Fortune Divine City, a place that could withstand the onslaught of the Great Silence Unlife Calamity.

In the starry sky, Lin Xun shook his head and said, "Don't panic, everyone. I want to see just how powerful this tribulation is."

His eyes were deep, revealing a hint of fervent fighting spirit. A long time ago, he had heard various rumors about the Great Silence Unlife Calamity. Even supreme beings like the Eternal Night Divine Emperor had suffered heavy wounds from this tribulation!

The only thing that puzzled Lin Xun was the relationship between the Great Silence Unlife Calamity and the mastermind behind it all. After all, according to common sense, if this tribulation was completely controlled by the mastermind, then in the past, it would have been incredibly easy for them to kill him.

There would have been no need to instruct the Zen Sect, the Shaman Sect, and the Eternal Divine Clans of the Ninth Heaven Domain to attack him. Nor would there have been any need to instigate the various divine clans in the Fortune Dominion to deal with him.

However, if the Great Silence Unlife Calamity was not controlled by the mastermind, then it didn't make sense either, because before, he had clearly felt the aura of the Alpha Origin Principle from those streaks of tribulation light!

Therefore, Lin Xun found this incredibly perplexing.

"This kid..." Upon learning of Lin Xun's intentions, everyone’s hearts sank. At a time like this, he still wanted to recklessly challenge the Great Silence Unlife Calamity?

Lin Xun had only just attained the Creation Realm. Without reaching the peak of this realm, he would have no chance of entering the Immeasurable Realm! It was clear that he was insisting on testing the power of the Great Silence Unlife Calamity. This was incredibly daring, bordering on suicidal, so how could Mo Yang and the others not be worried?

Lin Fan and Su Bai exchanged glances, feeling a subtle, indescribable excitement. The spirit Lin Xun displayed at this moment shocked and even impressed them! Perhaps only with such a spirit could their father (master) achieve his current level of mastery of the great dao.

Suddenly, from the gray, swirling tribulation clouds deep in the cosmos, a long blade condensed from tribulation light suddenly appeared. It flashed through the void, traversing time and space, and abruptly struck towards Lin Xun.

The attack had come too quickly! In an instant, it was right in front of him. The long blade exuded a strange and ominous aura. The weapon was a murky gray, sending shivers down the spine.

Clang!!

In that critical moment, the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron appeared, blocking the descending blade. Dao light burst forth, and the ensuing roar was like thunder. The long blade shattered, and the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron was also sent flying backward.

Unexpectedly, under such a terrifying tribulation blade strike, the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron remained completely undamaged!

Mo Yang and the others were stunned. They didn't know that during the Nine Ultimate Dao Tribulations in the river of time, the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron, like Lin Xun, had also undergone repeated cycles of destruction and reconstruction. It had been completely transformed.

Now, the cauldron was completely connected to Lin Xun's blood and soul, and its entire body was inscribed with the profound principles of Nirvana!

Lin Xun recalled the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron, standing in mid-air. Although his expression was solemn, his state of mind had calmed considerably. Soon, the gray tribulation clouds deep within the starry sky churned, and one tribulation weapon after another emerged. There were swords, spears, halberds, ancient seals, pagodas, and much more. They were dense and numerous, all filled with a strange and ominous aura, and immensely powerful.

Such destructive power could easily kill figures like Gaoyang Huai and Jiang Tao, who were at the Creation Realm. Lin Xun dared not be careless and fought with all his might, unleashing power far beyond what he had displayed when he killed Gaoyang Huai and the others.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the cosmos, Lin Xun glowed, making him look as majestic as a god. The Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron slashed through the air, and each beam of tribulation light was blocked in front of him, exploding with a deafening roar.

It was at this moment that Mo Yang and the others finally realized how heaven-defying Lin Xun's combat power was after reaching the Creation Realm. When he had killed Gaoyang Huai and Jiang Tao, he clearly hadn't used his full strength. Only now did he truly reveal his full power.

After Lin Xun blocked the last tribulation weapon, a voice suddenly rang out from the depths of the gray tribulation clouds, "Eh?!"

The voice was ancient, filled with an indifferent and ruthless aura. It was just a single syllable, yet it was like a thunderclap that shattered the ages, shaking the starry sky and causing it to tremble and wail.

Mo Yang and the others' vision went black, and they felt their minds being shaken. They were all horrified and immediately activated their powers to protect themselves, Lin Fan, and Su Bai.

They were in Fortune Divine City, which was covered by the Principles of Fortune, yet that voice could still produce such terrifying fluctuations. How could anyone not be shocked?

"He is indeed a heretic that cannot be tolerated in this world." Along with that ancient and indifferent voice, a figure condensed from the depths of the tribulation clouds, coming out one step at a time. He was shrouded in a golden light, with countless golden rays of law power flowing around him, shining like a blazing sun that tore through the eternal night of ages.

The light was too bright, so people could only see his indifferent and cold silver eyes and the layer of armor covering his body, which seemed to be forged from immortal metal. Upon his appearance, an incredibly terrifying power fluctuation instantly swept across the area around him like a raging tide, like an ancient divine mountain pressing down.

Every powerful expert who witnessed this felt their insides splitting, and their minds were shaken. Meanwhile, torrents of destructive light cascaded down from his dazzling and majestic figure. The layers of Divine Rank law power that had previously covered the surrounding cosmos were now completely suppressed, rendered utterly useless.

“Terrifying, absolutely terrifying! An aura far exceeding the Creation Realm, is he...is he the mastermind behind the epochal calamities?”

Everyone was horrified. The eyes of old monsters like Mo Yang, Xingjia, and Dragon Elephant flashed with intense light. Their skin felt taut, and their cultivation bases surged wildly as they desperately resisted this overwhelming power.

Furthermore, those cultivators scattered throughout Fortune Divine City were all collapsing to the ground at this moment, their life force draining away like flowing water. They were actually being suppressed by the sheer force of that terrifying power!

The golden figure stood in the void like a supreme ruler, not even needing to make a move; that mere display of power was enough to demonstrate how terrifying his strength was.

“Hand over the profound principles of Nirvana within you, destroy your cultivation, and I can spare your life on behalf of my master.” The golden figure spoke, his voice ancient, indifferent, and condescending, as if he were bestowing a favor. The voice echoed throughout the universe, oppressive and intimidating.

At this moment, Lin Xun's expression became unusually serious. Although he could withstand the impact of the pressure released by the other party, he felt an unprecedented force pressing on him, causing every inch of his skin to feel a stinging and tearing sensation.

Despite that, he still keenly caught onto something. He had mentioned ‘master!’

“You are not the mastermind behind the epochal calamities?” Lin Xun frowned.

The other party hadn't attacked immediately, so he wouldn't act rashly at this moment. If he could figure out the other party's background, that would undoubtedly be even better. A being had emerged from the Great Silence Unlife Calamity—this in itself was incredibly unbelievable.

“The mastermind behind the epochal calamities?” The golden figure was clearly displeased with this title. “My master wields the power to overturn epochs; how dare you slander him? Ignorance is bliss, I won't hold this against you this time.”

This seemed to be an acknowledgment of Lin Xun's abilities. However, his words were filled with the arrogance of a superior being, as if Lin Xun were merely an ant on the ground.

“So you're just a servant of that mastermind behind the scenes.” Lin Xun sighed softly, somewhat disappointed. He had thought that this time the mastermind had revealed himself, but now it was clear that wasn't the case. The other party kept referring to ‘my master,’ so how could he be the mastermind?

“To be able to serve the master is something that any Eternal would dream of!” said the golden figure as his eyes were fixed at Lin Xun. His tone carried a hint of admiration, “You are quite impressive to be able to withstand the power of the Great Silence Unlife Calamity that I borrowed while also possessing the profound principles of Nirvana. If you are willing to submit, then you can also become a Heavenly Mandate Apostle like myself.”

Lin Xun's eyes flashed with a strange light. So, this guy was borrowing a portion of the power of the Great Silence Unlife Calamity. In addition, he called himself a Heavenly Mandate Apostle. Did this mean that all those who served the mastermind behind the scenes could be called Heavenly Mandate Apostles?

Heavenly Mandate? What a boastful title!

At this moment, Lin Xun felt a faint surge of excitement. He realized that if he could capture this golden figure today, he might be able to force out information related to the mastermind behind it all! He might even be able to reveal the identity of the mastermind!

Seeing that Lin Xun remained silent, the golden figure in the distance said arrogantly, “Young man, it's your good fortune to receive my recognition. Now, kneel down, offer up the profound principles of Nirvana, and pledge your allegiance to me and my master. I will grant you supreme glory.”

He spoke condescendingly, demanding Lin Xun kneel and beg for mercy, as if bestowing a favor and a gift. Lin Xun couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. "What kind of nobody are you? A mere lackey of that mastermind behind the scenes, yet you dare to demand that I kneel?"

"Hmm?" The golden figure was slightly angered. A single sound from him caused the entire starry sky to tremble, and the endless void shattered like pieces of fragile glass, revealing shocking spatial cracks.

"Just his voice alone is so terrifying. If he were to truly attack, this entire cosmos probably wouldn't be able to withstand a single blow! What kind of terrifying cultivation does this self-proclaimed Heavenly Mandate Apostle possess?"

Mo Yang and the others were inwardly shaken, their expressions changing drastically. The Creation Realm was already the highest one could go in the Fortune Dominion. While the Immeasurable Realm had always existed, it was impossible to encounter an expert at that stage here.

Despite that, the golden figure that had emerged from the Great Silence Unlife Calamity was clearly far beyond the Creation Realm. Therefore, it was impossible for them to imagine just how powerful his cultivation truly was!
