Faced with this final tribulation of lightning, Zhang Sanfeng unleashed a sword technique he had never used before.
Zhang Sanfeng's enormous True Martial Emperor Dharma Image began to shrink, becoming the size of a normal person.
Then, Zhang Sanfeng stepped out with the Seven Star Steps, displaying a mysterious gait.
After taking the seventh step, Zhang Sanfeng used the Zhenwu Subduing Demon Sword to perform a mysterious sword technique.
"The Big Dipper Demon-Subduing Sword!"
As Zhang Sanfeng pointed the Zhenwu Subduing Demon Sword in his hand to the sky, the sky within a radius of tens of millions of meters centered on Zhang Sanfeng changed from daytime to nighttime.
In this vast night sky, the phantom images of seven stars began to slowly appear, growing brighter and brighter.
Faced with this scene of the stars shifting, all living beings within the range of Zhang Sanfeng's spell, including the powerful figures of Blood Battle City, were filled with immense panic.
They couldn't imagine what level of cultivation a super strong person must have reached to accomplish this incredible scene before their eyes!
As Zhang Sanfeng pointed the tip of the Zhenwu Subduing Demon Sword downwards, seven incomparably dazzling beams of light were projected from the seven illusory stars in the sky.
The light projected from the seven illusory stars instantly shattered the tribulation clouds above Zhang Sanfeng's head.
After dispersing the tribulation clouds formed by Zhang Sanfeng's heavenly tribulation, the beams of light projected from the seven illusory stars continued downwards, easily extinguishing the last layer of heavenly lightning that had not yet struck Zhang Sanfeng.
After Zhang Sanfeng survived the heavenly tribulation, the night sky covering tens of millions of meters in radius and the phantom images of seven stars began to slowly fade away.
After the strange phenomena caused by the Big Dipper Demon-Subduing Sword disappeared, the image of the True Martial Emperor also began to slowly fade away from Zhang Sanfeng's body.
After the True Martial Emperor's Dharma form faded away, Zhang Sanfeng transformed from the majestic True Martial Emperor back into the appearance of that venerable old man.
Strangely, the Zhenwu Subduing Demon Sword in Zhang Sanfeng's hand remained unchanged and did not revert to its original form.
Moreover, after the True Martial Emperor's Dharma Image faded away, the True Martial Enchantment Sword in Zhang Sanfeng's hand maintained its previous powerful might, and its essence did not diminish in the slightest.
However, after the True Martial Emperor's military image withdrew, Zhang Sanfeng's face turned extremely pale.
Clearly, while the Big Dipper Demon-Subduing Sword strike was incredibly powerful, it also took a tremendous toll on Zhang Sanfeng.
Although he has survived the Nine Heavens Tribulation, Zhang Sanfeng is now nearing the end of his life.
Faced with this situation, Zhang Sanfeng showed a faint smile.
"As soon as I entered the Heavenly Tribulation Realm, I passed through nine Heavenly Tribulations in succession. Now, my cultivation should have reached the level of a Martial Dao Celestial Being, equivalent to the Mahayana stage."
"From this day forward, I will only be myself, I will only be Zhang Sanfeng, a carefree celestial being roaming the mortal world. And I will no longer have any connection with anyone else!"
While Zhang Sanfeng was still muttering to himself, the sky in front of him suddenly changed.
Countless flowers, composed of light and radiating various kinds of light, and covered with different Taoist charms, fell from the sky.
Just as these scattered flowers were swirling around Zhang Sanfeng, a golden beam of light suddenly shone down from the sky onto Zhang Sanfeng.
As the beam of light shone upon him, Zhang Sanfeng felt the remaining hidden injuries within his body and his nearly exhausted body begin to recover rapidly.
During the recovery process, Zhang Sanfeng's cultivation level began to improve rapidly, and his body began to transform quickly.
Zhang Sanfeng felt that this transformation was completely different from the one he had undergone when he ascended to heaven; it was like being reborn.

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Zhang Sanfeng and Xuanwu
As the golden beam of light slowly faded, Zhang Sanfeng's transformation finally came to an end.
After the physical transformation was complete, Zhang Sanfeng changed from the appearance of an old man with a dignified and otherworldly air into an incomparably handsome young man.
However, not long after transforming into an incomparably handsome young man, Zhang Sanfeng reverted to his original appearance as an old man with a venerable and otherworldly air.
Not only did his body undergo a transformation, but Zhang Sanfeng's cultivation level was also greatly enhanced within that dazzling golden pillar of light.
Zhang Sanfeng felt that after being bathed by the golden pillar of light, the true essence within his body began to slowly transform into a higher level of power.
Although the transformation was very slow, the new power was so profound that Zhang Sanfeng's cultivation was constantly and rapidly increasing.
Zhang Sanfeng could sense that once all the true essence within his body transformed into that higher-level energy, his strength would experience a leap forward.
Furthermore, there are no bottlenecks in this cultivation process; it only requires the accumulation of time.
In fact, Zhang Sanfeng did not know that if the Tianyuan Sacred Realm had not advanced to the level of the Middle Thousand Worlds, his transformation would have been suppressed by the Tianyuan Sacred Realm and would never have been completed.
However, if Zhang Sanfeng were to break through to the level of a Martial Dao Celestial in a world outside the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm, he wouldn't even be undergoing this slow transformation.
The new power that Zhang Sanfeng's body transformed into was immortal power. When all the true essence in Zhang Sanfeng's body was transformed into immortal power, he was able to step into the realm of immortal martial arts.
Regardless of the type of power, if it wants to transform into immortal power, it needs to be surrounded by immortal energy.
In ordinary small worlds, there is no way to obtain such high-level energy as immortal energy.
The reason Zhang Sanfeng was able to slowly transform the true essence within his body into immortal power was because Yuan Hao, in order to allow the beings of the Tianyuan Sacred Realm to grow better, expended a large amount of source power to inject a trace of sparse immortal energy into the Tianyuan Sacred Realm.
However, it was impossible for Zhang Sanfeng to rely on this sparse immortal energy to completely evolve the true essence within his body into immortal energy and break through to the Immortal Martial Realm.
Only after the Heavenly Origin Sacred Realm advances to the Middle Thousand Worlds and is able to generate immortal energy and energy of the same level as immortal energy on its own will the world release the suppression of the strength of those beings who are about to become immortals or gods.
"Gurgle...gurgle...gurgle..."
Just after Zhang Sanfeng broke through to the realm of Martial Dao Celestial, a huge snake head began to emerge on the surface of the North Sea.
As the giant snake head rose higher and higher into the air, a gigantic phantom, resembling a colossal island, gradually appeared below it.
