Immortal tribulations were calamities, storms of annihilation meant to crush all who dared to ascend. Survivors considered themselves fortunate.
To call them opportunities... to dismiss weaker ones as "waste"... was arrogance... that too of the highest degree.
And yet, for Lin Mu, it was the truth.
Still, even his relentless will faced a roadblock.
A variant tribulation could not be summoned by mere willpower. It was the judgment of the heavens themselves, unpredictable and absolute. He had tempted fate once, and it had answered.
But could he tempt it again?
His gaze drifted across the horizon, watching the dispersing remnants of the metal storm.
There was one path... A dangerous one.
Everyone knew that interfering with another's tribulation provoked the heavens to greater wrath, amplifying the ferocity of the trial. Many cultivators avoided even being near someone transcending, for fear of accidental involvement.
