Golden Core Thunder Tribulation
Meanwhile, outside, the precious light surrounding Yang Haoyu began to gather.
It quickly transformed into a Golden Core, which spun above her head.
With each rotation, the Golden Core shrinks by one unit.
After spinning five full rotations, the Golden Core seemed to lose its momentum and stopped moving.
At this moment, Yang Haoyu opened his eyes, his pupils flashing with intense joy.
First, he used a magic Law Treasure to advance and make up for his foundation. Then, he successfully cultivated the Divine Ability Prototype of the [Arms and Armor Divine-Penetration Technique], and with his own understanding of the Dao of Earth, Yang Haoyu has reached the Minor Achievement the [Intent Realm].
The combination of these three factors allowed her to successfully forge Middle Vehicle Golden Core, specifically Middle Vehicle Fifth-Grade Golden Core.
This is already considered to be in the upper-middle range among Golden Core Cultivators.
With a slight opening of his mouth, Yang Haoyu swallowed the illusory Golden Core in the sky. A vast, profound, and powerful aura, as strong as the earth itself, surged into the heavens.
Like an ancient, majestic mountain rising straight into the Yun Tian, stirring up layers of wind and clouds.
Rumble!
Dark Clouds gathered from afar, overlapping densely, and gradually the sky darkened.
Blue-Purple Thunderbolt streaked through the clouds, its booming sound echoing endlessly.
At the same time, a vast and boundless will, imbued with infinite inclusiveness, majestic yet incredibly approachable, slowly descended.
Under the watchful eye of the Will of Heaven and Earth, no cultivator may interfere with the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation by external forces; they may only use their own power to activate Divine Abilities, magical Law Artifacts, Formations, etc., to overcome the Tribulation Lightning.
In other words, even with the Deep Abyss Thick Earth Formation, Yang Haoyu could not set up this Formation on the Spirit Vein to resist the Heavenly Tribulation.
Only by activating the Formation with one's own Law Power can one gain the recognition of the Will of Heaven and Earth; otherwise, the Heavenly Tribulation may evolve into Heavenly Punishment.
If the former is a test, then the latter is a punishment, basically a death sentence.
"The Golden Core Thunder Tribulation is said to be able to shatter mountains. Can our Old Ancestor overcome it?" Beside Yang Tianyou, Yang Tianwang, looking nervous, murmured as he gazed at the churning Tribulation Clouds on the horizon.
"Golden Core Cultivators need to undergo nine Tribulation Lightning. Generally speaking, even the strongest ninth Tribulation Lightning will not exceed the attack range of Early Golden Core cultivator. Old Ancestor, you are fully prepared, so there will definitely be no problems."
Yang Tianyou offered a word of comfort, but he himself was also feeling quite uneasy.
With over two hundred years of history in the Yang Household, Yang Haoyu was the first person to undergo the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation. It was impossible for him not to be nervous.
They were tense here, but beneath the Tribulation Clouds, on the surface of the Wolf Pool, Yang Haoyu, facing the vast Tribulation Lightning alone, was surprisingly calm.
After 160 years of cultivation, she finally arrived at the gate of the Golden Core sect.
In a daze, Yang Haoyu seemed to see her father, whose face was stern and never smiled, smile at her for the first time ever.
He even reached out his large hand and patted her head, as if to say, "My dear daughter, your father believes in you. You will definitely overcome the Tribulation Lightning and lead our Yang Household to fame throughout the Lu Wu Realm!"
"Father..."
Yang Haoyu murmured to himself, but his eyes grew increasingly resolute, like an unyielding rock.
You may come from all directions, but I will remain unmoved!
Boom! --
Finally, the accumulated Tribulation Lightning began to fall.
With a deafening explosion, and under the overwhelming divine might, blazing Blue Tribulation Lightning crashed down from the sky.
"Kun Earth Cauldron!"
Yang Haoyu gave a low hum, raised his right hand, and the Golden Core in his Dantian spun, bursting forth with rich Law Power.
With the support of Law Power, the Kun Earth Cauldron, which has been upgraded to Third-Tier Lower-Grade Law Treasure, is also able to unleash its full power.
It spun around, erecting a layer of earthen-yellow protective shield, and headed straight for the Tribulation Lightning.
Thump--
A fierce Tribulation Lightning strike hit the Kun Earth Cauldron, exploding into brilliant Thunder flowers.
It transformed into a ten-zhang-tall Kun Earth Cauldron, which withstood the Thunder, which was comparable to the full force of False Core Cultivator, without budging an inch.
Seeing this, Yang Haoyu remained calm, as if he had expected it.
The Kun Earth Cauldron had been refined into Third-Tier Lower-Grade Law Treasure long before she advanced to the Golden Core stage.
Because the main refining material is Third-Tier Upper-Grade [Yellow Jade Spirit Soil], its foundation is exceptionally strong.
Just now, her cultivation broke through to the Golden Core, and the Kun Earth Cauldron, as her Life-Bound Law Treasure, also received tremendous benefits.
The feedback and refinement of Law Power have greatly improved the quality of the Kun Earth Cauldron.
The first Tribulation Lightning, serving as an appetizer, was merely equivalent to a full-force attack from False Core Cultivator, and naturally could not shake the Kun Earth Cauldron.
Boom! --
Not long after, the second bolt of Thunder struck, already reaching the threshold of Golden Core Cultivator.
Thump!
The Kun Earth Cauldron blocked the attack again. The cauldron trembled slightly, and the earthen-yellow protective shield flickered, but it still did not break.
Boom!
The third bolt of Thunder struck, and this attack was comparable to the full-force strike of an ordinary Early Golden Core cultivator.
Thump!
The Kun Earth Cauldron shook, with Blue-Purple Thunderbolt floating on its surface like ripples on water. The protective shield suddenly shattered, revealing a mixture of blue and yellow, with wisps of black smoke drifting out.
Boom!
The fourth Thunder struck, this attack being 30% stronger than the previous one.
Bang!
The Kun Earth Cauldron fell straight down for twenty or thirty feet, leaving its surface pitted and emitting black smoke, a result of being eroded by the power of Thunder.
However, as the owner of the Law Treasure, Yang Haoyu knew that the Kun Earth Cauldron had not yet reached its limit.
Let's do it one more time.
She hardened her heart, thinking that with the foundation of the Kun Earth Cauldron, she could withstand the next Tribulation Lightning without fundamental damage.
With a thought, a surge of magical Law Power erupted and poured into the Kun Earth Cauldron.
Boom!
The fifth Tribulation Lightning struck, its power increasing once more!
When!
Thunder roared, Kun Earth Cauldron was knocked directly from the sky. Its surface light dimmed, and half of its Artifact Mark were worn away.
However, it did help Yang Haoyu withstand five Tribulation Lightning without causing any fundamental damage. With proper care and nurturing, he can fully recover.
Furthermore, undergoing the Tribulation Lightning is not without its benefits. The forging of Thunder will solidify its foundation, which will be very helpful for future advancement.
Yang Haoyu remained completely calm even though he couldn't use his Life-Bound Law Treasure.
She calmly took out a golden Talisman from her Storage Ring —a low-grade, Third-Tier Lower-Grade Glazed Golden Armor Talisman.
The Yang Household also has a collection of such Talisman, but Yang Tianyou can only refine Second-Rank Low-Grade and mid-grade Glazed Golden Armor Talisman Talisman; he is still far from being able to refine Third Tier.
Buzz!--
Talisman was activated, golden light shone brightly, and amidst the swirling runes, a twelve-zhang-tall suit of Glazed Golden Armor covered Yang Haoyu's body.
Boom! --
A bolt of Thunder, three feet thick, left a winding trail in mid-air before striking the Glazed Golden Armor with tremendous force.
Boom!
The collision of Thunder and steel instantly unleashed a powerful shockwave, causing layers of silvery-white waves to erupt on the surface of the Wolf Pool, creating a spectacular sight.
When the gale subsided, the Glazed Golden Armor disappeared, leaving only Yang Haoyu sitting cross-legged on the spot, completely unharmed, with a calm and composed expression.
