Tribulation Clouds Spanning 100,000 Li! The Physical Body Breaks Through to Spirit Transformation! Innate Divine Ability, Eye of Insight!
Rumble!
Crackle!
The rumbling of thunder and the crackling of lightning resounded above the Ziwei Holy Land.
The pitch-black tribulation clouds finally stopped spreading after covering an area of 100,000 li.
By then, the power within the tribulation clouds had risen to the peak of the Saint Manifestation Realm!
The cultivators of the Ziwei Holy Land who noticed the area covered by the tribulation clouds couldn't help showing their shock.
For an ordinary cultivator, the Spirit Transformation Realm's Five-Nine Heavenly Tribulation covered only 1,000 li. For those with greater talent, it covered at most a few thousand li.
Anyone whose tribulation covered more than 10,000 li could be called a peerless monster, a freakish genius!
A peerless monster like that might not appear even once in ten thousand years!
Now Ji Zining had reached a full 100,000 li. What should she be called?
Such a terrifying expanse would surely have been unheard of even before ancient times, in those ages when Great Emperors could emerge?!
Rumble!
Boom!
As all the cultivators of the Ziwei Holy Land and the living beings in the surrounding cities watched, a bolt of tribulation lightning finished forming within the clouds and came crashing down.
The bolt was a full 10,000 zhang across, like a pillar of lightning connecting heaven and earth.
Its power was enough to threaten a peak Saint Manifestation Realm expert!
Facing the bolt of tribulation lightning, Ji Zining used no defenses. After showing a trace of anticipation, she slowly closed her eyes.
Come to me, my lightning energy!
Crackle!
Boom!
When the 10,000-zhang bolt of tribulation lightning came within ten zhang of Ji Zining, it abruptly slowed, and its terrifying power vanished without a trace.
Then the bolt transformed into boundless, pure lightning energy and flowed into Ji Zining's body below.
Feeling the lightning energy pouring into her body, Ji Zining didn't hesitate. She immediately activated the Nine-Orifice Exquisite Body to refine it and improve her physical cultivation.
The living beings who witnessed it all felt as though their hearts had taken a heavy blow.
His Divine Son Hall's way of undergoing tribulation really was as... refreshingly unconventional as ever!
Others faced death and destruction when undergoing tribulation, but His Divine Son Hall came through feeling refreshed!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
After the first bolt of tribulation lightning fell, the bolts behind it came crashing down without pause.
But without exception, when these bolts of tribulation lightning came within ten zhang of Ji Zining,
they all shed their power of their own accord, transforming into lightning energy for Ji Zining to absorb and refine.
With the help of this lightning energy, Ji Zining's physical cultivation began to rise rapidly.
Ji Zining was the one undergoing tribulation, but the living beings who witnessed the process felt as though their hearts had been struck numb by the tribulation lightning.
This wasn't the tribulation of Divine Son Ji Zining. It was theirs!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The rumbling and crashing of tribulation lightning never ceased, leaving the cultivators of the Ziwei Holy Land increasingly numb.
The Five-Nine Heavenly Tribulation consisted of forty-five bolts in total. Normally, it would take six hours for them all to descend.
But only fifteen minutes had passed since Ji Zining began her tribulation, and nearly half the bolts had already fallen!
High in the sky.
Ji Zining's body was completely enveloped in lightning energy.
There was so much lightning energy in this Spirit Transformation Realm Five-Nine Heavenly Tribulation that even her Nine-Orifice Exquisite Body couldn't quite refine it all at once.
Her Nine-Orifice Exquisite Body had now reached the peak of the second layer, just one step away from the third.
But Ji Zining had discovered that the energy required for the third layer was terrifyingly immense,
even greater than what was needed for her spiritual power cultivation to break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm.
What Ji Zining was doing now was steadily accumulating energy, and when she had enough to break through the barrier,
she would release it all at once, shatter the barrier, and break through to the third layer of the Nine-Orifice Exquisite Body!
As she refined the lightning energy and accumulated it, Ji Zining's heart was perfectly calm, without the slightest ripple.
If she became too nervous now, she might not only fail to break through, but also cause the energy to flow backward and damage her foundation.
The more critical the moment, the more she needed to stay calm and not throw herself into disarray!
Fifteen minutes later.
Boom!
The final bolt of tribulation lightning crashed down, then transformed into lightning energy and poured into Ji Zining's body.
At that moment, Ji Zining focused her mind.
Now!
With a thought, all the energy she had accumulated was released in an instant, surging toward the barrier between the second and third layers.
That barrier was her other eye orifice!
Pop!
A barely audible sound came from within Ji Zining's body.
Ji Zining felt a warm current flow through both her eyes, and they seemed to have changed.
At that moment, her physical cultivation also reached the Spirit Transformation Realm First Layer!
A breakthrough to the third layer of the Nine-Orifice Exquisite Body!
Ji Zining opened her eyes and looked around.
Everything she looked at seemed to reveal the flaws and rules of this world.
But the sensation lasted only an instant before vanishing without a trace.
"Whew!"
Ji Zining let out a breath of turbid air, her expression brimming with excitement.
Just as she had expected, with both eye orifices open, she had indeed developed a divine ability!
An Innate Divine Ability, Eye of Insight!
At its utmost, a single glance could reveal every flaw in the world!
Her cultivation was only at the Spirit Transformation Realm for now, so naturally she couldn't reach that level. But seeing through an enemy's flaws in battle was well within her capabilities!
She could also find the flaws in formations, as long as she applied herself!
An Innate Divine Ability, as its name suggested, continually grew in power as its host's cultivation improved. In theory, it could accompany its host for a lifetime.
Ji Zining rose to her feet, looking utterly satisfied.
This tribulation had truly let her kill three birds with one stone!
Not only had her spiritual power cultivation broken through to the Spirit Transformation Realm First Layer,
but after her Nine-Orifice Exquisite Body broke through to the third layer, her physical cultivation had also reached the Spirit Transformation Realm First Layer, the same as her spiritual power cultivation.
Most importantly, she had developed and awakened an Innate Divine Ability, Eye of Insight!
With the Eye of Insight, she would be able to defeat enemies with the least amount of strength in future battles.
Paired with her highly offensive Sword Intent, it was a perfect match!
With all the tribulation lightning spent, the tribulation clouds trembled, seemingly unwilling to accept it.
But in the end, the tribulation clouds still had no choice but to disperse.
A moment later, the sky that had been shrouded by the tribulation clouds was visible once more.
Looking at the sky, restored to its former state, the cultivators of the Ziwei Holy Land were still somewhat dazed.
Was His Divine Son Hall's tribulation over?
Thinking back on the scene they had just witnessed, they felt they would never forget it as long as they lived.
This was the second time!
