A human-shaped lump of charred blackness crashed to the ground, blasted down by the lightning.
If the Lightning Tribulation were merely a physical attack, then with his Steel Body, Lu Bai might have been able to tough it out. At most, he would have been in so much pain that he went numb.
But the Lightning Tribulation was a punishment carried out on Heaven's behalf. How could it be that simple?
Even though Lu Bai didn't understand much about it, he could still feel the yin and yang energies contained in the lightning, constantly eating away at the vitality of his body.
From a distance, the deathly aura emanating from the human-shaped lump of charred blackness grew more and more pronounced.
The Lightning Tribulation one faced to ascend to immortality was a test in every respect.
Meeting the cultivation requirement wasn't enough. One had to ensure perfect control over one's essence, energy, spirit, soul, spiritual power, and body.
