Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation (Part Two)
Lu Ping pursed his lips. "Little A, you've been very naughty lately. How can you back down now?"
Haven't you heard the saying, "In a critical moment, if you advance, you're a beast; if you retreat, you're worse than a beast"?
Workers are fed up with their bosses' incompetence; do they really have to rely on fate to get through this ordeal?
Lu Ping chose Little B.
[You chose B.]
[You even took a moment to point at the tribulation clouds overhead and loudly mock them.]
The ominous clouds in the sky pressed even lower.
[The originally silvery-white lightning began to turn purplish-black.]
The surrounding air became extremely oppressive, and even this blessed Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land, where Yin Extreme Generates Yang, began to show signs of collapse.
[The Fourth Heavenly Tribulation seems to have been angered by you.]
[Put away your arrogance.]
[Because the tribulation clouds overhead no longer formed pillars of lightning, but instead collapsed.]
[The sky, stretching for miles, seemed to have a hole in it; purplish-black lightning poured down, completely submerging this blessed Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land where Yin Extreme Generates Yang.]
["Thunder-Sea Groundwashing"]
[This time, even the laws of Heavenly Dao have broken down.]
[You cursed inwardly, "Showing off really does get you struck by lightning."]
[The Third Stage Lightning Tribulation has just ended; although you were struck so hard your skin was torn and you were nearly half-dead.]
[But you maintained your cross-legged meditation posture, grabbed a handful of Rejuvenation Pills and Qi-Gathering Pills with your backhand, and swallowed them all without even looking at them.]
[ For Heavy Tomato Users, this is in effect.]
[Quality Sleep, effective.]
[Tenfold Recovery Efficiency, instantly maxed out.]
[The immense medicinal power dissolved within your parched meridians, and in just a few breaths, your body, which had been nearly killed by the Third Stage Lightning Tribulation, was restored to six or seven tenths of its original state.]
["Boom--"]
[A bolt of lightning struck, and your surroundings were completely transformed into a sea of lightning.]
[Thunder washes over your body, the Hundred-Forged Medicine Body Formula is pushed to its limit.]
[The restorative effects of Quality Sleep continuously repair your body.]
Your body has become a battlefield of tug-of-war.
[Thunderous energy tears through flesh, medicinal properties stimulate new blood growth, and this Trait provides additional repair capabilities.]
[You're losing health rapidly while simultaneously gaining health rapidly.]
Unfortunately, the rate of health loss ultimately outpaced the rate of health regeneration.
[Not long after, your newly grown flesh was stripped away again, your breath weakened, and you were left with only half a life.]
[With a thought, a Pill Furnace flew out of your Dantian, swelled in the wind, and hovered above your head.]
[The Moon Palace Fire-Devouring Furnace!]
[This low-grade Law Treasure, nurtured in your Dantian for decades, is now vastly different from what it once was.]
[Four illusory Azure Toad toads on the furnace body opened their mouths wide, desperately holding back the pouring down purplish-black lightning.]
[The lightning and fire surged wildly inside the furnace, producing a muffled thud.]
[Hurry up and continue taking your medicine and meditating.]
[Quality Sleep, tenfold recovery, lasting effect.]
[The Moon Palace Fire-Devouring Furnace has bought you the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.]
[After an incense stick's time, the four illusory Azure Toad toads were shattered by purple lightning, and the furnace was covered with spiderweb-like cracks.]
[The Little Toad let out a mournful cry, and was forcibly slammed back into your Dantian by the lightning.]
[Poor Little Toad, you manipulate it at will all day, and now it has to be used as a scapegoat at this crucial moment.]
[The last Golden Core Heavenly Tribulation was just like this.]
[And you, taking advantage of the brief respite before the incense stick burns, regained about six or seven tenths of your strength.]
[The plasma continued to press downwards.]
[You once again use your physical strength to withstand the onslaught, and the tug-of-war restarts.]
[Recover health, lose health.]
[As your body teeters on the brink of collapse for the third time, leaving you barely alive, a cloak silently unfolds above your head, transforming into a veil of silver-gray illusionary patterns.]
[The Formless Myriad-Breath Cloak!]
[This Concealment magical Law Treasure, primarily designed for concealment, is now displaying astonishing defensive power.]
[A veil of mist concealed silver-gray illusionary patterns, repeatedly drawing the raging purple lightning into nothingness.]
[You take a deep breath, continue taking the medication, and continue recovering.]
[Quality Sleep, lasting effect.]
[Fifteen minutes later.]
[The old scorch marks on the edge of the cloak cracked again, Formless Myriad-Breath Cloak transformed into a blur, retreating back into your Dantian.]
Your breathing has recovered to about 70-80%.
[The lightning strikes your flesh again.]
[This process is repeated.]
[When you are low on health for the fourth time, the Red-Feather Fire Crow bursts forth from your Dantian.]
[It let out a piercing cry, and dark gold and crimson patterns burst open on its feathers. The Sun True Fire actually burned a vacuum zone out of the sea of lightning.]
[The Crow-Crow bought you a full half hour.]
[In this half hour, your physical body has not only recovered to eight or nine tenths of its original state, but even your depleted Spiritual Power has been replenished considerably.]
[Finally, the Red-Feather Fire Crow let out a mournful cry, was scattered into a ball of fire, and swept back into your Dantian.]
Poor Crow-Crow, another workplace injury.
[You take a deep breath and once again take control of the battlefield with your own body.]
[When you were struck for the fifth time, your skin torn and flesh ripped open, and you were left with only half a life, the lightning bolt, just three feet above your head, was forcibly held aloft by a long, silvery river.]
[Star River Myriad Blades, emerge.]
[A silver river, flowing upstream.]
[But this time, the Star River Myriad Blades lacked the overwhelming power they had before.]
[It had already eaten too much, and hadn't fully digested the power of thunder; now it was being forcibly injected with the purplish-black thunder magma.]
The Array Patterns between the flying blades began to distort.
[This top-grade Supreme Law Treasure, primarily used for killing, barely lasted for a quarter of an hour before the flying blades at its edges began to dart around uncontrollably.]
[If it continues like this, it will collapse again and become ten Thousand-Blade Rivers.]
[The Star River Myriad Blades, Supreme Law Treasure, once again sits at the same table as the low-grade Law Treasure, the Formless Myriad-Breath Cloak.]
[You endured the excruciating pain of your Divine Sense being torn apart and retracted the Star River Myriad Blades.]
[But in this fifteen minutes, you've recovered about seven or eight tenths of your strength.]
[A sea of purplish-black lightning will completely engulf you.]
[After the depletion of Law Treasure and the prolonged struggle, the power of the Fourth Thunder Tribulation finally began to weaken.]
[And your physical body, after repeated destruction and rebirth, and the unlimited replenishment of Pills, has nearly reached the completion of the Fourth Layer the "Hundred-Forged Medicine Body Formula."]
[You're like a stubborn rock, firmly nailed to the spot by the relentless onslaught of thunder.]
[Quality Sleep, effective.]
[Your breathing became long and even, as if you had truly fallen asleep in a sea of thunder.]
For every inch of flesh destroyed from your body, an inch of new flesh immediately regenerates.
[After several attempts, your rate of health regeneration through meditation finally matched the rate at which you lost health during the Heavenly Tribulation.]
The scales have tipped.
[I don't know how much time has passed.]
The terrifying pressure that had been pressing down on you suddenly eased.
[Open your eyes.]
