Chapter 172 The Strongest Heavenly Tribulation

Chapter 172: The Strongest Heavenly Tribulation

"Since ancient times, Heavenly Tribulations have been rare, and once triggered, there is a risk of life and death. Could it be that one of the Elders of our School is Undergoing Tribulation here?" An Elder asked, puzzled.

It wasn't that he hadn't considered a Disciple from the School, but that was unrealistic. The power of the Lightning Tribulation was not something a Disciple with low cultivation could withstand; people would die!

Even Master Level cultivators wouldn't dare to touch it lightly, because for different cultivators, the intensity of the Lightning Tribulation naturally varied, with some being high and some low. The powerful ones could destroy the heavens and earth, being extremely terrifying.

Throughout history, there were many such examples. For instance, some arrogant Prodigies, not believing in evil, tried to use the Heavenly Tribulation to improve their strength, but most of them perished.

But what's happening today? Has someone dared to believe he can survive the life-and-death tribulation, take that step, and rival the peerless Prodigies of ancient times?

"No, the power of this lightning hasn't reached that Rank. It's more like the Venerable and Divine Fire Realm Lightning Tribulations described in the bone books."

A Heavenly God from the Butian Sect was alarmed and analyzed the situation.

"Venerable, Divine Fire?"

Upon learning this, many were astonished, their expressions frozen.

Whose Disciple is this, to have such confidence? Is he not treating his life as important?

One must know that cultivation is inherently difficult, as hard as ascending to the heavens, constantly facing various dangers. To stand out from millions of people is already remarkable, why add more hardship?

Even in the last epoch, not many people would willingly Undergo Tribulation; they would avoid it if possible, as it was rumored that there was great terror within the lightning!

"Who exactly is this Disciple of our School? To Breakthrough his Realm, he's actually joking with his own life. Isn't that too irresponsible?" Someone sighed.

Under normal circumstances, those who could trigger such a Lightning Tribulation were elite Disciples of the Butian Sect. If one were to perish, it would be too regrettable.

On the other side, Yue Chan also arrived, her eyes flickering as she let out a cry of surprise, saying, "Could it be Junior Brother Undergoing the Venerable Tribulation?"

In an instant, everyone was dumbfounded, their faces pale, making their scalps tingle. The School's First Generation was too bold, too Heaven-Defying.

What is he trying to do? Is he bored? Has nothing to do? Or is he… feeling his life is too long?

Especially Yue Chan, her heart was extremely restless, her delicate hand clenched tightly, her face filled with shock and worry.

A while ago, Lin Fan said he was going to Undergo Tribulation, and she thought he was joking and didn't take it seriously. But this guy wasn't just talking; he really dared to do it!

"Junior… Brother!"

"Boom!"

In the sky, lightning flashed and thunder roared. A purple light flew over, like an arrow, spanning dozens of miles, striking down from the dark clouds onto Lin Fan's body, tearing his skin and flesh.

"Pfft!"

He coughed out a mouthful of blood. Even with his extraordinary Physical Body, it was difficult to withstand it without injury, but fortunately, he endured it.

"Only the cruelest tempering can forge true gold. Let's do this!" Lin Fan roared, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, and continued to charge upwards.

His Physical Body had reached such a level that it was almost impossible to improve it with external objects. Only the Lightning Tribulation could, which is why he had been passively enduring it.

This was a crazy act. If anyone knew his thoughts, they would surely curse him, calling him a pervert who dared to use such a method for Body Refining, which was no different from courting death.

Little did they know, everything was within Lin Fan's control. He possessed an immortal bone, and his recovery ability was extremely strong, so he was fearless.

However, as he got closer to the clouds and entered the densest area of lightning, he became serious and no longer dared to endure the lightning in such a manner.

Because there was too much lightning here, thousands of bolts surging, each bolt having the power of the previous ones, enough to instantly destroy a person.

Moreover, they weren't just striking; they were crashing down heavily, too fierce, appearing in vast swathes, submerging him. This was many times stronger than a flood.

At this point, Lin Fan resisted, runes intertwined into a shield, Divine Power surged upwards, no longer daring to be overconfident, actively drawing electric arcs into his body.

Everyone watched in horror. From the very beginning, thousands of bolts of lightning struck him. If it were an ordinary Array Formation Realm cultivator, he would have long turned to dust.

Let alone an Array Formation Realm cultivator, even an ordinary Venerable couldn't withstand it. Any single bolt would be enough to kill a cultivator of that Realm, let alone this abnormal Heavenly Tribulation from ancient times.

Lin Fan met the attack, his fists glowing, Dragon roars resounding, unleashing his strongest precious techniques to counter the endless lightning. This was a life-and-death test of offense and defense.

However, there were too many lightning bolts. Purple, red, golden, and other bolts all attacked, each with different power and effects, but gathered together, they were incredibly terrifying.

Soon, he grimaced in pain, tasting the bitter fruit. It was truly unbearable. The electric arcs were impossible to guard against, difficult to completely resolve, and his body bore a large portion of them.

"Pfft!"

He coughed up large mouthfuls of blood as the lightning raged, causing his flesh to burst with blood flowers, his whole body charred like coal, letting out a muffled groan, looking very miserable.

"Open!"

At this moment, Lin Fan opened his Unique Cave Heaven, forming a special field, which finally weakened a portion of the power, allowing him to endure this tribulation.

"Whew…"

He let out a long breath. Thousands of lightning bolts receded. The first layer of tribulation was considered passed. Then he circulated the bone text, his flesh regenerated, becoming crystal clear and strengthening himself.

Although it caused damage, he also gained benefits. His Physical Body, after the baptism of lightning, became even more solid, which was extremely rare.

"It's over already? Our School's First Generation has passed the Heavenly Tribulation?" Someone exclaimed in surprise.

"No, it's not completely over yet. The lightning is gathered and not dispersing; it's brewing an even stronger heavenly punishment. This is just the beginning; he's Undergoing the Strongest Heavenly Tribulation!"

An Elder's face was extremely solemn, his eyes shining.

Hearing this, everyone present changed color, naturally knowing what the Strongest Heavenly Tribulation was.

According to the records in the bone books, this kind of tribulation has a total of nine layers, endured by rare and peerless Prodigies, and each layer is stronger than the last, almost a killing formation, impossible to pass.

Indeed, all of this… had just begun!

In the cloud layer, Lin Fan looked up, his expression suddenly stiff. The lightning was much stronger than before, becoming particularly fierce.

"Crack!"

Crimson lightning struck down, but unlike before, the electric arcs actually evolved into heavenly fire, with a burning sensation, as if he had arrived at a volcano, incinerating his body.

However, that wasn't all. Blue lightning descended again, transforming into a vast, surging ocean that submerged him, even hindering the circulation of his Divine Power.

"Lightning evolving into natural elements, this is the Great Tribulation of Water and Fire!"

Lin Fan was surprised and chose to endure it, because this kind of Lightning Tribulation was unavoidable. Only by enduring it himself could there be a bright future, otherwise he would turn into tribulation ash.

"Hiss!"

At this moment, around him, it was sometimes like being baked in a furnace, and sometimes like falling into a vast ocean, which was very tormenting.

Even his glabella was glowing, and his Primordial Spirit was also being tempered.

In fact, such lightning was beneficial to one's essence, Qi, and spirit, allowing one to undergo an all-round transformation, becoming clear and brilliant, and strengthening one's Divine Sense, provided one didn't die.

In the end, Lin Fan truly couldn't hold on anymore and began to construct a furnace with the bone texts of the Original True Understanding, using himself as the cauldron, to resist and temper himself.

It must be said, this method was very good. He once again endured it.

Although his body was covered in bloodstains and his battle attire was reduced to very few rags, he finally passed the second layer of Heavenly Tribulation, soaring into the sky, ascending deeper into the sea of lightning.

This scene made many people tremble and sigh, saying, "Remarkable indeed…"
