Ren Qing was wrapped in surging heavenly lightning, the radiance it released turning the surroundings bright as day while explosions rang without end.

Every so often, the lightning acting upon Ren Qing changed, nearly encompassing every known type of heavenly tribulation.

The Daoist sects divided lightning into the Five Thunders: Eastern Wood Thunder in the Liver Palace, Southern Fire Thunder in the Heart Palace, Western Mountain Thunder in the Lung Palace, Northern Water Thunder in the Kidney Palace, and Central Earth Thunder in the Spleen Palace.

As a result, the heavenly tribulation tempered Ren Qing's body from the inside out, with his fragile internal organs bearing the brunt.

Ren Qing occasionally let out muffled groans. Although the heavenly tribulation originated from the Heavenly Dao Tree in the stomach world and its power did not exceed the limits of a Corpse Immortal, that did not mean his body could withstand it easily.
