"What's going on? Has the fire's damage weakened?" Young Master Phoenix Slayer asked curiously.
Venerable Yellow Mountain looked thoughtfully at Song Shuhang.
"The fire's damage hasn't weakened, but we've now entered a 'resonance state.' In this state, all of us can connect to one another. That makes fire damage of this level negligible to us," Song Shuhang replied.
Northern River's Loose Cultivator asked, "Is it because all the pain is being divided equally among us? No, that's not right... even if the pain were divided equally, everyone should still feel the same amount of 'pain.'"
"It's not dividing the pain. This 'resonance' lets me share my tolerance for pain with everyone. It works on the same principle as sharing Senior Yellow Mountain's 'swordsmanship' with me through resonance earlier so I could use it. I just tried it to see what would happen. I didn't expect it to actually work," Song Shuhang said.
It seemed his 'Pain Tolerance' had also been recognized as a 'skill' that could be shared with others through resonance mode.
The members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group: "..."
Tolerance for pain was an ability that made their hearts ache just hearing about it.
"This purple fire is only the prelude to the heavenly tribulation. What we'll face next is an eighth-grade heavenly tribulation," Song Shuhang said.
The purple fire was the portion of the heavenly tribulation assimilated by the Black Dragon World Law, which was why it was illusory fire. What form would the heavenly tribulation overhead take next? This entirely new type of Tribulation Space... might well come with an entirely new type of heavenly tribulation.
Just as Song Shuhang was pondering this, a ripple suddenly appeared directly ahead in the Group Tribulation Space.
Violet-gold pillars of lightning were brewing within the tribulation clouds.
