Why had it attacked him?
Could it be because this place was thoroughly stained with his mana aura?
That should not have been the case either.
If that were true, then hiding inside the cave abode of some mighty cultivator would mean heavenly tribulations could not harm one at all, wouldn't it?
It made no sense whatsoever.
Li Ye could not understand it, but the heavenly tribulation had already descended, and he could sense that it had locked onto him alone.
"Just protect the coffin."
"I'll study this heavenly tribulation properly."
He gave Wei Qingye a brief instruction, then released his Divine Sense and sensed the nearly formless heavenly tribulation.
This was not any type of heavenly tribulation he knew.
Or rather—it was a heavenly tribulation that had never appeared before, one specifically meant for this kind of gestation method.
He could feel his body being torn apart by the lightning tribulation.
Not his physical body, but his Soul Essence.
The reconstruction and gestation of a Soul Essence actually required damage to his own Soul Essence.
"Hah."
Once he understood this, he suddenly became interested. At this moment, the heavenly tribulation was still trying to destroy the Five-Colored Stone outside his Primordial Spirit.
Then could the Five-Colored Stone be considered...
"Hmm?"
Just then, a residence of blue bricks and red tiles suddenly rushed over. In an instant, it expanded enormously, its doorway like a giant maw that swallowed Li Ye whole in one bite.
It was the Xiang River Abode.
As an Abode connected to Li Ye through spiritual power, even one that could be said to have been nurtured from his life force, Li Ye knew of its anxiety when it rushed over. He also knew that it would never have come without certainty.
So he did not resist.
