Although this man had only been in the Celestial God Tomb for a year, he had traversed the entire Blackwood Forest Sea during that time. Relying on his extraordinary concealment methods and assassination skills, he had also slain many martial artists and learned numerous legends about the Blackwood Forest Sea.
One of those legends concerned the Flood Dragon Serpent's horn!
The very horn Lin Bai now held in his hand!
This horn was a treasured item countless martial artists in the Blackwood Forest Sea and Silver Moon City dreamed of obtaining!
There was only one reason it was regarded as such a treasure: it could ward off tribulation lightning!
From this man's memories, Lin Bai learned that the realm above the Apex Realm was the Dao Realm.
Within the Dao Realm, one had to undergo ten tribulations of lightning.
When breaking through from the Apex Realm to the Dao Realm, one had to undergo the first tribulation of lightning!
There were nine more tribulations after that. Each time a martial artist overcame one, he could increase his lifespan by five hundred years, and his strength would undergo a tremendous leap. But if he failed, his body and soul would perish at once. Even if he possessed heaven-defying methods, he might be able to revive through a remnant soul; without such methods, however, he could only return to the cycle of reincarnation.
The Dao Realm's tribulation lightning was exceptionally terrifying. Among Apex Realm martial artists, those capable of overcoming it were one in ten thousand.
The strength of the tribulation lightning was also related to a martial artist's Martial Soul. The stronger the Martial Soul, the easier it was to overcome the tribulation. Conversely, the weaker the Martial Soul, the more difficult it was!
