Four-Nine Heavenly Tribulation
"Great-grandfather, did you see something falling from those Tribulation Cloud in the distance just now?" Li Chengyi suddenly asked, pointing into the distance.
Li Shi'an turned his head, stared intently in the direction Li Chengyi was pointing, and laughed, "If you couldn't even see it clearly, how could I possibly see it?"
Li Chengyi smiled and said, "Perhaps I'm seeing things."
They then refocused their attention on the main peak.
None of them seemed too nervous, after all, judging from the previous tribulations, Gu Yuanqing had always been incredibly relaxed.
In the previous instances, when Gu Yuanqing faced the calamities of Heavenly Change, the Mountain-Bearing Divine Turtle only made slight movements before returning to its slumber.
Waking up from its slumber today, it looked up and glanced at the Yin-Yang Realm; it was enough to warrant its slight attention.
Of course, that was all; it then sank back into the water.
In the Three Realms, the Tribulation Cloud grew ever thicker.
Moreover, the speed of condensation far exceeds that of the Heavenly Change Realm.
The origins of these Tribulation Cloud are also different from those before. Previously, they were formed from the surrounding Heaven and Earth Vital Energy, but the Yin-Yang Great Tribulation emerged from the Void, as if from another space.
The pressure of the Heavenly Tribulation grew increasingly intense, and the dark, oppressive Tribulation Cloud turned the entire Heaven and Earth into night, with only the occasional Lightning Tribulation Cloud the Heaven and Earth.
Gu Yuanqing finally opened his eyes, and at that very moment, three bolts of Heavenly Thunder crashed down from the Three Realms Heavenly Thunder, almost simultaneously striking North Spring Mountain.
The power of the Yin-Yang Great Tribulation naturally far surpasses that of the Heavenly Change Calamity; this can be seen from the sheer size of the Heavenly Thunder.
The Tribulation Lightning in the Cultivation World is still the strongest; this first Lightning is three zhang thick.
The Dragon Demon Realm is next, only two and a half feet tall.
The Tribulation Lightning in the Floating World is almost half that in the Cultivation World.
However, regardless of the world, the Tribulation Lightning is far more powerful than a single strike from an ordinary Yin-Yang Realm.
Moreover, unlike before, the Tribulation Lightning was composed of intertwined Yin-Yang Thunder, containing the Destruction Power, as if it would directly blast everything under the Heavenly Tribulation into Void.
Gu Yuanqing remained calm, still using the Object Control Power of North Spring Mountain to draw the Tribulation Lightning into his body, because if he let it fall naturally, the scattered Divine Thunder would probably be enough to level the area within a radius of several miles.
His body was completely enveloped in Lightning as he carefully sensed the power of the Heavenly Thunder, which was different from before.
Just like before, the Tribulation Lightning was a test for others, but for him it was an opportunity!
The Four-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, when combined Three Realms, amount to one hundred and eight Tribulation Lightning, which can be transformed into resources for his Yin-Yang Realm cultivation.
He devoted himself wholeheartedly to it. With each bolt of Heavenly Thunder, he not only felt the Dao Resonance contained within it, but also tempered himself.
Wherever the sense of Destruction passed, the Physical Body, the Divine Soul, and the Heavenly Human World seemed to undergo destruction and reconstruction, and the originally weak life force gradually grew stronger in this state.
He felt his body becoming empty. After experiencing the Heavenly Tribulation, his True Essence was reduced to less than one-tenth, but the remaining power became extremely resilient.
Every cell, every wisp of Divine Sense, every inch of the Dao Resonance of the Heavenly Human World is like a miraculous Newborn.
Spiritual energy continuously surged from the illusory image of Beiquan Mountain in the sea of consciousness, rapidly filling the fear that had formed within the body after various transformations.
With each Heavenly Tribulation that passed, Gu Yuanqing's aura grew stronger!
He greedily absorbed all the power within the Heavenly Thunder, not missing a single bit!
Eight hundred miles away from North Spring Mountain, three Dao Body rushed out and stood in the Void less than ten feet above the sea.
Lin Jingxing's face was pale and his expression was grim.
Li Menglan's hair was disheveled, and she looked completely disheveled.
Another young man stood precariously.
Lin Jingxing stood atop a long sword, its blade three zhang wide. Xiao Liyang lay unconscious, while Qi Pingchun sat cross-legged behind Lin Jingxing, trying to stabilize his injuries.
They dared not take to the air, and their auras were completely concealed. Under the Tribulation Lightning, rashly releasing their auras might bring them undeserved disaster.
"Junior Brother Zhou, can you still hold on?" Lin Jingxing asked.
The young man's breathing was unsteady. "I'm alright, but my Divine Soul is injured. I'm afraid it will take half a year to recover."
Li Menglan looked up at the Tribulation Cloud in the sky, her tone filled with shock. "These Tribulation Cloud cover a much wider area than before, probably more than two thousand miles."
Lin Jingxing, also severely damaged in Divine Soul, said, "This isn't the Tribulation Lightning for breaking through Yin-Yang; it's at least the Heavenly Tribulation lightning for the Second Yin-Yang Realm, the Void-Breaking Realm. Otherwise, with the combined strength of the few of us and the Void Escaping Boat, there's absolutely no way we couldn't even pass through the initial Tribulation Cloud!"
"Who could it be? Who would attempt to the Void-Breaking Realm in this Lower Realm?" Li Menglan asked.
I'm currently reading the error-free version! This novel was first published on 6=9+Book_Bar.
Lin Jingxing said coldly, "I think it's most likely the Heavenly Demon Sword Master. How could an ordinary Cultivator at the Yin-Yang Realm still be cultivating in the Lower Realm? Clearly, he dares not enter the Spirit Realm. It seems that what the Yunmeng Holy Son said was true; Qian Yuan Island is indeed under the Heavenly Demon Sword Master's command. No wonder we couldn't find any trace of the Heavenly Demon Sword Master even after searching the Cultivation World; it turns out he's hiding at sea."
Li Menglan frowned slightly and said, "Senior Brother Lin, this is just your speculation. Don't jump to conclusions too soon. If this person survives the Heavenly Tribulation, he will be Great Cultivator in the Middle Yin-Yang Realm. We should be more cautious."
Lin Jingxing snorted and said nothing more. Although Li Menglan's cultivation was weaker than his, only at the Peak the Two Tribulations of Heavenly Change, she was the granddaughter of Elder of the Lingxu Sect and held a distinguished position. He did not want to antagonize her.
"Senior Brother Lin, Senior Sister Li, what do we do now?" the young man asked, sensing the awkward atmosphere.
"The Void Escaping Boat is somewhat damaged and cannot fly under the Heavenly Tribulation. We can only walk out of the Heavenly Tribulation's range along the sea!" Lin Jingxing raised his hand, looking at the Void Escaping Boat with a slight pang of heartache. This boat did not belong to him personally; he had received it from the Sect when he descended to the Lower Realm realm. Li Miaoxuan left the Flying Boat to him when she returned to the Spirit Realm.
Upon returning to the Sect, it must be returned.
This Void Escaping Boat was originally Yin-Yang Artifact, but their cultivation level was insufficient to unleash its true power. Under the Heavenly Tribulation, it lost its Law Power support and was somewhat damaged. It's likely that returning it will be troublesome.
"Let's go. No matter who this person is, since he's Yin-Yang Great Cultivator, there's no use in us staying here." Li Menglan took the lead, riding her Flying Sword close to the sea and heading away from the center of the Heavenly Tribulation.
Lin Jingxing glanced back, feeling somewhat aggrieved. Qi Pingchun had advised him to leave several times, but he insisted on staying, ultimately causing everyone to be seriously injured. He feared this would draw criticism afterward.
The group dared not unleash their full power and it took them more than half an hour to fly out of the range of the Heavenly Tribulation before they finally took to the air.
They stood in mid-air, focusing their gaze on the direction of the Heavenly Tribulation.
In fact, with the arrival of the Heavenly Tribulation, the Array Formation set up by Gu Yuanqing on Qian Yuan Island could no longer conceal the Island's existence. However, with the Tribulation Cloud spreading and the Vital Energy in chaos, even if they used the Void-Breaking Heavenly Eye, they could not see the scene in the middle at all.
The three lingered for a moment, then quickly rode away in their escape light.
During the journey, Lin Jingxing couldn't help but glance back at Xiao Liyang, his expression darkening further.
Xiao Liyang came out with him, but now his Divine Soul has been injured by the Heavenly Thunder. Even if he wakes up, he will probably be crippled.
This time we gained nothing, everyone was seriously injured, and we've completely lost face!
