Hearing the White Turtle mention the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, Chen Mu didn't feel too afraid.
Compared to when he himself underwent the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, Mingye's current conditions are much better, especially since he is now in his own Chen Village base camp.
" Grandpa Turtle, what is the Yin-Yang Mystic Core Pill?"
He couldn't help but ask curiously.
"I've only heard a little about the Yin-Yang Mystic Core."
Legend has it that this is one of the most powerful inner cores in the world, capable of simultaneously utilizing two completely opposite forces: extreme yin and extreme yang, making it incredibly wondrous.
It is said that those who possess this inner core can fuse the Yin and Yang energies, unleashing power more than ten times stronger than cultivators of the same level, making them virtually invincible among their peers.
The White Turtle stroked its beard and recalled carefully.
Boom!
Mingye had just condensed the illusory image of his inner core when a terrifying thunderclap resounded in the sky, as if Heavenly Tribulation was about to descend at any moment.
Chen Mu dared not delay, raising his hand and tapping incessantly on the virtual screen in the air to adjust the defense parameters of various buildings in Chen Village.
Normally, Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, the tribulation clouds would only cover a radius of a few kilometers at most. However, the current Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation has basically covered the entire Chen Village.
To prevent civilians from being accidentally struck by lightning, he needed to modify the defense data of Chen Village. He also instructed Chen Hongjie to order all civilians to stay away from the buildings.
"Beep! Parameter adjustment complete. Disaster defense mode activated."
After a stick of incense had burned for a while, Chen Mu finished adjusting all the parameters and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, Chen Hongjie also issued a city-wide lockdown order, prohibiting everyone from leaving the buildings.
"Come on! Heavenly Dao, let me test just how powerful your Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation is."
Chen Mu sat cross-legged, his hands forming a mudra, drawing upon the power of the Four Pillars Reaching Heaven Talisman to connect his fate with that of the Mingye.
The Four Pillars Reaching Heaven Talisman is incredibly profound and has many miraculous effects. What Chen Mu is using now is its ability to change one's destiny.
A person's destiny is the unique identifier that Heavenly Dao uses to identify that person, just like an ID number in a population system. Heavenly Dao uses destiny to recognize a person and allow them to exist in the world according to the arrangement of fate.
What Chen Mu is doing now is changing Mingye's destiny, linking it to his own.
The result of doing this is that Heavenly Dao will mistakenly believe that he and Mingye are the same person, and that he can help Mingye share the power of the Heavenly Tribulation.
He is now like a virus, invading the massive operating system of Heavenly Dao.
He was able to do this not only because his Fate Dao of Talismans Fate Dao of Talismans was nearing completion, but also because the central processing system of Chen Village was assisting him.
Chen Village's central processing system, after years of continuous improvement, although the core is still based on Rune Core No. 3, has expanded in scale by more than a hundred times, and its computing power has also increased by more than a hundred times.
With such massive computing power, Chen Mu had enough confidence to deal with the causal effects caused by altering his destiny.
Fate is not easily changed; once a person's destiny changes, it often has far-reaching consequences.
While Chen Mu is helping Mingye overcome his tribulation, he will inevitably bear the karmic consequences of altering Mingye's destiny. If he cannot handle these karmic threads well, they will bring him many negative effects in the unseen world.
The saying "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed" and the reason why those who defy Heaven-Defying often meet a bad end is precisely this.
However, with the help of the central processing system to analyze the situation, Chen Mu can avoid unfavorable causal lines as much as possible, reduce the negative impact of the Heavenly Dao on him, and even avoid being tainted by any causal factors.
Mingye's speed in condensing liquid into pills was much slower than Chen Mu's back then. Chen Mu waited for about an hour before he saw Mingye open his eyes.
"Here we go!"
The tribulation clouds in the sky blotted out the sun. Even a timid cultivator would be terrified at the sight of them. However, Mingye remained calm because Chen Mu was sitting not far from her.
boom...!
A bolt of lightning as thick as an arm struck down, like a long snake, hurtling fiercely towards Mingye at incredible speed.
Chen Mu did not make a move. If Mingye couldn't even withstand the first bolt of lightning, then there was no need for her to undergo tribulation.
Crash!
The lightning struck Mingye, but she didn't use any defensive techniques to block it. Instead, she gritted her teeth and let the lightning travel over her body, absorbing its power.
Chen Mu discovered that although Mingye was undergoing the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, the power of the first heavenly lightning he experienced was similar to that of his own back then, and he estimated that the subsequent ones would be the same. The real test would come after the fifth Heavenly Tribulation.
Before he broke through to the Core Formation Realm, he had no confidence that he could withstand the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, but for him now, it shouldn't be a big problem.
He closed his eyes again, adjusting himself to his peak condition.
Mingye's current strength is not much inferior to that of herself before her breakthrough. The first five heavenly lightning bolts will not pose a fatal threat to her. If she can overcome them on her own, it is better for her to do so.
boom...!
The second bolt of heavenly lightning arrived much faster than Chen Mu's earlier strike, suggesting that the tribulation clouds in the sky had been brewing for a long time and were now eager to unleash their power.
Crackle, crackle...!
Mingye still didn't use any combat techniques to defend himself, gritting his teeth as he absorbed all the lightning into his body.
Then came the third and fourth bolts of heavenly lightning.
By the time of the fourth bolt of heavenly lightning, Mingye's skin had been blasted into charcoal. Fortunately, she possessed the regenerative cell technology researched by Chen Mu, which prevented irreversible damage.
Chen Mu saw everything and shook his head inwardly.
From her appearance, Mingye has become more and more like an ordinary person over the years. Her face is no longer cold and aloof. She can joke with people and even get teary-eyed when she hears touching stories.
However, Chen Mu understood that wounds could heal, but scars would not disappear. Mingye's obsession with power, his desire to survive, and his keen sense of danger had long become instincts.
Her stubbornness always made Chen Mu feel sorry for her.
Boom!
As the fifth bolt of heavenly lightning struck, Mingye finally decided not to continue to withstand it with her physical body. After all, no matter how much help heavenly lightning could provide to the body, one had to be alive to enjoy it, and this fifth bolt of heavenly lightning had clearly exceeded the limits of her physical body.
She lowered her body, channeling Spiritual Power in one hand and Death Qi in the other. Then, she brought her hands together, merging the two forces to meet the fifth bolt of heavenly lightning.
Boom... Screech...!
Tianlei and Mingye's hands collided, sparks flew everywhere, and terrifying electric snakes spread in all directions.
After a while, the fifth bolt of heavenly lightning gradually disappeared, and Mingye's power was also reduced by a small portion.
"As expected of the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, if I hadn't concealed the heavenly secrets, I doubt anyone else in this world would have been able to survive Heavenly Tribulation of this magnitude!"
Chen Mu looked at the sixth Heavenly Tribulation that was about to descend from the sky and knew that it was almost time for him to make his move.
