Chapter 62: Safe and Sound

Boom…

Crack…

As a thick bolt of lightning fell, the brick-shaped Spirit Treasure floating above Zhang Yuhe's head…

instantly became covered in cracks before shattering into countless fragments that scattered everywhere.

This was already the sixteenth defensive Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure that had been ruined.

Each strike of the Heavenly Tribulation grew stronger than the last.

By the fifty-second bolt of lightning, a Low Grade Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure could only block a single attack.

It would be completely ruined after blocking just once.

Seeing yet another Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure destroyed, Zhang Yuhe couldn't help but tense up.

There were only the last five bolts of the Heavenly Tribulation remaining; as long as he could endure five more waves of lightning attacks,

and successfully pass the Heavenly Tribulation, could he truly be considered a genuine Void Refining Cultivator.

However, Zhang Yuhe had a premonition that relying solely on Low Grade Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures probably wouldn't be enough to withstand the remaining five bolts of lightning.

"Now it all depends on just how strong the defensive capability of the Nine Heavens Primordial Chaos Sword Formation truly is, and whether it can block the remaining five bolts of the Heavenly Tribulation."

Zhang Yuhe quickly formed hand seals.

The nine Flying Swords spun rapidly, quickly forming dense light screens of Sword Qi around him.

Boom…

The fifty-eighth bolt of the Heavenly Tribulation descended.

A thick bolt of lightning swiftly streaked across the pitch-black firmament, fiercely slashing down toward the center of the small island.

The lightning pierced through a layer of light blue barrier and fiercely struck the sword formation.

The Nine Heavens Primordial Chaos Sword Formation flashed with a dazzling radiance, and its light screen trembled slightly before quickly returning to normal.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuhe couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

"Very good."

Although the sword formation appeared slightly strained when facing the attacks of the Heavenly Tribulation,

it was still able to hold its ground steadily.

Immediately afterward, another bolt of lightning struck down…

Four consecutive bolts of lightning came one right after the other, each one growing fiercer than the last.

However, the Nine Heavens Primordial Chaos Sword Formation was truly worthy of being a Divine Ability inherent to an immortal-grade Cultivation Technique.

Its defensive capability was indeed incomparably powerful.

After steadily weathering the four lightning attacks, the sword formation remained completely unharmed.

"There's only the final bolt of the Heavenly Tribulation left."

Zhang Yuhe looked up at the sky, muttering to himself as he awaited the descent of the final tribulation.

Previously, the lightning had been continuous.

Yet this last bolt of the Heavenly Tribulation took a long time to fall.

Looking at the massive vortex in the sky, Zhang Yuhe couldn't help but feel secretly alarmed.

What the hell, could it be brewing some kind of ultimate move?

Suddenly, a heaven-shaking roar echoed out, and the sky turned into a dazzling expanse of white.

"Holy crap…"

Seeing this sight, Zhang Yuhe was completely dumbfounded.

The dark clouds in the sky retreated and the vortex disappeared.

Replacing them was endless lightning.

Lightning filled the entire sky, flashing with nine-colored radiance.

"Damn it, is this the Nine-Color Divine Lightning?"

Seeing the lightning flash with nine-colored radiance, Zhang Yuhe panicked completely.

The Nine-Color Divine Lightning would only appear during the Heavenly Tribulation triggered when a Body Integration Cultivator advanced to the Mahayana realm.

He had just advanced to the Refining Void Realm, so why would the Nine-Color Divine Lightning appear?

Zhang Yuhe found this completely incomprehensible.

Even if his Aptitude was extremely Heaven-Defying, such an outrageous thing shouldn't happen, right?

However, the Heavenly Tribulation didn't give him much time to think.

The lightning all over the sky quickly gathered to form an oversized bolt of Nine-Color Divine Lightning.

As the divine lightning swept past, the Void Realm seemed to be torn apart, producing terrifying black fissures.

"Whether I live or die depends on this wave."

Zhang Yuhe rapidly circulated the Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture, frantically pouring his mana into the nine Flying Swords as if it were worthless.

The formless Sword Qi stimulated by the sword formation spun at extreme speeds, forming dazzling light screens.

The light screens layered on top of each other, tightly enveloping him within.

Boom…

The Nine-Color Divine Lightning tore through the Void Realm, carrying an endless aura of destruction.

It passed through the Ren Water Lightning Absorption Array and instantly struck the sword formation's light screen.

Crack…

The sword formation's light screen trembled violently, and layers of formless Sword Qi were cleaved apart and dissolved by the lightning.

Zhang Yuhe didn't dare to raise his head to observe at all.

He simply circulated his Cultivation Technique frantically, pouring the mana in his Dantian wildly into the Flying Swords.

The light screen composed of formless Sword Qi was constantly shattered and dissolved by the Nine-Color Divine Lightning, yet it rapidly recovered each time.

After a long while, the Heavenly Tribulation finally dissipated, and the sky returned to clarity.

"That was terrifying as hell."

Looking at the clear skies outside, Zhang Yuhe let out a long breath.

With a wave of his hand, he grabbed one of the Flying Swords to inspect it.

He saw that the surface of the Flying Sword was already covered in fine cracks.

"Fortunately, my Lifebound Treasure almost got ruined too."

Although the Flying Sword was covered in cracks, a Lifebound Treasure only needed to be nurtured within the Dantian to slowly recover.

As long as it wasn't smashed to pieces on the spot, it would be fine.

That final bolt of Nine-Color Divine Lightning was truly a bit terrifying.

It was hard to imagine how such a powerful Heavenly Tribulation could appear when he was merely breaking through to the Refining Void Realm.

This completely left no way out for people.

Fortunately, the Nine Heavens Primordial Chaos Sword Formation was reliable.

Without this sword formation, no matter how many Low Grade Spirit Treasures he had prepared,

it would have been impossible to block the bombardment of the Nine-Color Divine Lightning.

Zhang Yuhe hovered in mid-air and looked around.

The small island where he had previously stood had long since been blasted out of existence by the Nine-Color Divine Lightning without a trace.

Not only that.

Even the lake beneath him had expanded two or three times due to the bombardment of the Nine-Color Divine Lightning.

In the distance, numerous tall peaks had long been flattened into plains by the Heavenly Tribulation.

Looking at the surrounding scene, Zhang Yuhe couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.

Even though he had prepared as thoroughly as possible, he had never expected to encounter such a powerful Heavenly Tribulation.

Carefully recalling his previous experience of undergoing the tribulation,

Zhang Yuhe felt that apart from the Nine Heavens Primordial Chaos Sword Formation, the thing that played the biggest role was that Ren Water Lightning Absorption Array.

If it weren't for the Ren Water Lightning Absorption Array weakening the power of the Nine-Color Divine Lightning to some extent,

he most likely wouldn't have been able to withstand the bombardment of the Nine-Color Divine Lightning.

It was a pity that those twenty-eight Lightning Absorbing Pillars had already vanished completely without a trace after being bombarded by the Nine-Color Divine Lightning.

"It seems that next time I undergo tribulation, I must prepare even more thoroughly."

Zhang Yuhe silently reminded himself.

This time he could be considered lucky, and the Nine Heavens Primordial Chaos Sword Formation was reliable enough.

Otherwise, he probably would have already been blasted into ashes by the Heavenly Tribulation.

"Let's head back first."

Although there were some twists and turns along the way, he had finally successfully broken through to the Refining Void Realm.

Zhang Yuhe circulated the Heavenly Desolate Flying Immortal Art with all his might, flying rapidly toward Yunzhong Prefecture.

Although the process of undergoing the tribulation had been perilous,

he surprisingly hadn't suffered a single injury, and the mana in his Dantian was still abundant.

Therefore, there was no need for him to regulate his breathing and recuperate.

The might of the Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture was displayed vividly and thoroughly during this tribulation process.

Even while continuously driving Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures, Zhang Yuhe never felt a sense of exhausted mana.

Even after undergoing the tribulation, there was still a surplus of mana in his Dantian.

One must know that the reason many Cultivators failed their tribulations

was not because they hadn't prepared sufficient defensive measures,

but rather because their mana was depleted.

No matter how many defensive measures one prepared,

without abundant mana to drive them, it would all be in vain.

Relying on popping pills at the last minute to replenish mana couldn't replenish all that much either.

In fact, to prevent the situation of insufficient mana from occurring,

Zhang Yuhe had even specifically prepared some Medicinal Pills that replenished mana.

Who would have known that these Medicinal Pills wouldn't be used at all.

The Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture endowed him with a Dantian as vast as the ocean, capable of continuously providing abundant mana.

There was completely no need to take pills.

He really didn't know where the Old Ancestor of the Immortal Realm had gotten such a Heaven-Defying Cultivation Technique like the Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture.

Zhang Yuhe felt that even in the Immortal Realm, the Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture was definitely not an ordinary Cultivation Technique.

If all the Cultivation Techniques in the Immortal Realm were this Heaven-Defying, that would truly be strange.

"I really want to ascend early and go see the splendor of the Immortal Realm."

Thinking of this, he was filled with even more boundless yearning for the Immortal Realm.
