The reason Lu Yuan had such immense confidence in breaking through to the Apotheosis Stage was not due to self-praise, but because he genuinely possessed that level of power.

This unwavering strength-induced confidence sharply contrasted with the arrogance that blind confidence might bring.

At least, even Gu Qiuyue, not far away, could perceive the assurance emanating from Lu Yuan.

Initially, Gu Qiuyue had entertained the thought that if Lu Yuan couldn’t overcome the present Heavenly tribulation on his own, she would intervene to extract him from its grasp.

Although this decision would essentially condemn Lu Yuan to never achieving the Apotheosis Stage in his lifetime, it was still preferable to perishing in the Apotheosis Heavenly tribulation.

Yet, observing Lu Yuan’s demeanor now, Gu Qiuyue speculated that her intervention might not be necessary at all.

While she wasn’t clear about the source of Lu Yuan’s confidence, when cultivators reached a certain level, their aura became an integral part of their power.

Once a cultivator lost their aura, it was akin to their Dao heart crumbling.

Under Gu Qiuyue’s intent scrutiny, the Apotheosis Stage Heavenly tribulation of Lu Yuan began to stir.

The Heavenly tribulation that blanketed more than half of the Speed Star Sword Domain was currently imbued with a power nearing that of the Ethereal Stage.

Gu Qiuyue even dared to speculate that this Heavenly tribulation might truly approach that of the Ethereal Stage.

The notion of an Apotheosis Heavenly tribulation rivaling the strength of an Ethereal Stage cultivator was simply mind-boggling.

Boom!

Following a brief accumulation, the sky’s Heavenly tribulation rumbled, and thunderclaps resonated.

Amid these lightning flashes, it appeared as if countless stars were pulsating within.

This also infused the jet-black tribulation clouds with flickering golden luminance.

As Gu Qiuyue observed, she suddenly discerned a pattern in the arrangement of these golden specks. They seemed to adhere to a certain order, much like the constellations in the sky.

Upon counting, she realized there were exactly seventy-two of these golden luminous points.

The number 72 prompted Gu Qiuyue to contemplate the concept of the 72 Disha.

Considering this, Gu Qiuyue began to form an idea about the Laws of Heaven & Earth Lu Yuan harnessed to achieve his breakthrough to the Apotheosis Stage.

If her deduction was correct, the laws Lu Yuan employed were those of the way of the heavens, specifically the Disha sword intended birthed from the fusion of the 72 Disha sword intents.

This notion profoundly struck Gu Qiuyue.

While each of the 72 Disha sword intents might not individually compare to the Big Dipper sword intents, mastering all 72 of them was an entirely different challenge.

The difficulty was likely on par with mastering the 25 Dao of the Big Dipper sword intents.

Throughout the history of the Spirit Sword Sect, the number of individuals who had truly mastered all the Disha sword intents didn’t surpass a hundred.

Invariably, these individuals had all risen to become prominent figures in their own right.

Notably, she was one of the prodigies who had achieved mastery in the complete Disha sword intent.

Therefore, she was acutely aware of the awe-inspiring nature of the fully realized Disha sword intent.

She also recognized the audacity behind Lu Yuan’s decision to break through using the Disha sword intent.

This was because the complete Disha sword intent represented the authentic way of the heavens of Heaven and Earth.

Furthermore, it ranked high among the way of the heavens of Heaven and Earth.

Should Lu Yuan succeed in achieving the Apotheosis Stage through the Disha sword intent, the terror his future sword cultivation might unleash was beyond Gu Qiuyue’s imagination.

At the very least, she hadn’t possessed the capability to attain the Apotheosis Stage through the Disha sword intent.

On one hand, this was because she had mastered the entire Disha sword intent after reaching the Apotheosis Stage.

Another reason was that using the way of the heavens to break through to the Apotheosis Stage was a path only taken by Evildoers and lunatics.

The reason why only these two types of individuals would embark on such a path was evident from the intensity of the Heavenly tribulation before them.

The difficulty of achieving the Apotheosis Stage with the way of the heavens and the difficulty of transcending into an Apotheosis Stage with a Minor way of the heavens could almost be likened to the contrast between heaven and earth.

But for reasons unknown, Gu Qiuyue felt that the Disha sword intent might not be the entirety of Lu Yuan’s Heavenly tribulation.

This sentiment arose from the belief that if it were merely the Disha sword intent, it wouldn’t be sufficient to give rise to the current terror-inducing Heavenly tribulation.

Lu Yuan’s journey toward the Apotheosis Stage was likely concealing an aspect that he wasn’t aware of.

Gu Qiuyue’s intuition was accurate, Lu Yuan’s current Apotheosis Stage Heavenly tribulation was certainly more intricate than solely being tied to the Disha sword intent.

To put it differently, the Disha sword intent was just the facade of Lu Yuan’s breakthrough.

Initially, he had intended to rely on the Disha sword intent to achieve the Apotheosis Stage.

However, over time, Lu Yuan realized that the Disha sword intent alone seemed inadequate to meet his requirements.

Furthermore, due to his unique Nascent Soul stage, all of his Disha sword intent had integrated into his original Celestial Eradication Sword Array.

As Lu Yuan’s comprehension of the laws deepened, he gradually gained more insights into the Celestial Eradication Sword Array.

Initially, Lu Yuan considered the Celestial Eradication Sword Array merely as a specialized array composed of four immortal sword Dharma Idol.

Yet, Lu Yuan later grasped that the so-called Celestial Eradication Sword Array shouldn’t be seen as a mere combination of four immortal swords. Rather, it represented a whole, a distinctive manifestation of… the Laws of Heaven & Earth.

Lu Yuan termed this set of Laws the “Immortal Slaying”.

In essence, the content of these laws instructed Lu Yuan on how to slay immortals.

Consequently, the laws Lu Yuan employed at this juncture to breach the Apotheosis Stage were the Laws of Immortal Slaying.

How terrifying were these laws?

They were so terrifying that even though Lu Yuan had fostered a positive rapport with the way of the heavens, the way of the heavens would not permit such power to casually emerge in the world.

This was why such a profoundly dreadful Heavenly tribulation manifested.

Regardless of whether the way of the heavens condoned it or not, Lu Yuan had ultimately arrived at this juncture..
