Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Chapter 2021 Pearl's Lightning Tribulation

Alex remained at the base of the mountain, next to the wall of the barrier, looking up at the darkening sky. Whisker was on his shoulders, looking up to the mountain's peak as well.

"He did it," Alex said softly, realizing that Pearl had fought off his Inner Demons.

Alex had no doubt that he could do that. There wasn't anything that could have stopped Pearl from being able to do that at all. However, it was still relieving to see that he had managed to fight the demon's awful words and come out without harming his cultivation base.

Large clouds gathered in the sky as Pearl began to stand at the peak of the mountain on all fours, staring at the lightning that was going to strike down at any time.

Pearl showed no fear. He was ready.

The first lightning strike fell from the sky and Pearl withstood it without even using any technique.

As a White Tiger, his body cultivation naturally improved along with his Qi cultivation. So, at the moment, he was technically going through both of the breakthroughs at the same time, just like Alex had.

Just like Alex, he knew that there was no reason for him to be scared at all.

The next 3 lightning bolts did nothing to harm him at all, and he did not have to waste any Qi fighting off these lightning bolts. With so many people Immortals around him, he knew just how important it was to save one's Qi during a breakthrough.

Pearl finally began using his Qi starting the fifth lightning bolt where he did nothing but simply use the White Tiger's Dominating body to improve his defense. This was the strong defensive technique he had, so there was no point in using any other.

As long as he could manage the amount of Qi he poured into this technique, he could forever use it.

Strikes after strikes struck down from heaven, and Pearl had to use no more than a bit of his Qi to withstand it all. When the last and final of the 9 tribulations lightning fell down upon him, he came out of it unhurt with not a single scratch on him.

This breakthrough had been surprisingly simple for him until now.

However, this was where the simplicity of it all ended as the Dao lightning prepared to fall from the sky.

Pearl had precisely 4 Dao that he knew. They were the Dao of Teleportation, Dao of Space, Dao of Shrinking Space, and the True Metal Dao.

Pearl had learned many Dao before coming to the Immortal world and had learned 2 more Dao after arriving here. The two Dao he had learned were the Dao of Rust and the Dao of Shrinking Space.

Dao of Rust was just too difficult for Pearl to understand. As someone without a Water Spiritual root, he had simply no way of understanding what it was that made a metal rust. Bai Jingshen had tried to teach him everything he could, but in the end, this was one thing he hadn't been able to teach.

Thankfully, Alex could let Pearl learn from his Dao of Rust, which took some time but he managed to do it.

The Dao of Shrinking Space, however, was one that Pearl learned entirely on his own. Perhaps it was because of staying within a beast space for a long time or within the Demon realm after Alex put it into his Soul Space, that Pearl had managed to learn the truth behind shrinking space.

It was a relatively simple Dao that allowed one to shrink space around themselves, generally to reduce the distance between two points. But there were other uses as well.

Alex had been surprised on the day that Pearl had learned it, but he need not have been. Pearl was naturally adept at matters of Space and Teleportation, thanks to being half Azure Dragon. While it was the White Tiger's bloodline that now reigned supreme within him, the Azure Dragon's bloodline still had some parts of it remaining within him.

That had not only helped him learn about Space but had helped Alex learn about Space as well. It was thanks to their bond that he had managed to make use of the Space stone in the first place.

Alex looked to the sky, searching for what the first Dao lightning Pearl was going to face. He searched for the colors in the sky, but his Demon Eyes could not find any at all.

It was not an element he could see. 'So one of space,' he thought. Thankfully, he could sense it, and it was not one of the ones he knew.

"Dao of Shrinking Space first," Alex said, letting Whisker hear on his shoulders.

The lightning bolt struck down from the sky and Pearl stood up staring at it and then roared.

White Tiger's Roar was a technique that generated a powerful wave of energy right in front of Pearl, and it destroyed the lightning that came for him. The Dao lightning scattered in the wind as motes of light and all that was left was the aura of Shrinking Space dao around him.

Pearl felt the Qi inside of his body shrink and took a deep breath as he prepared for the next lightning bolt.

The next bolt of lightning to fall from the sky contained within the Dao of Teleportation. It fell with a thunderous sound and a power that was close to Immortal Ascendant 2nd realm. Pearl was strong enough to fight this as well.

His claws glowed bright golden as he struck the incoming lightning bolt and destroyed it in one attack.

The Dao lightning was still far too weak to be of any trouble to him at all. Unlike Alex, Pearl didn't have too many Daos to worry about the Dao lightning becoming too strong for him to handle.

The third bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, like a bright white rod and came down for Pearl.

Pearl's body glowed golden and he used the White Tiger's Golden Claw to destroy that lightning bolt as well. The destroyed lightning bolt left behind an aura of Space Dao.

Pearl felt his Qi become even stronger within him, all of it improving as the final Dao lightning prepared in the sky to strike down.

This was going to be not only stronger than other ones, but it was also the strongest one he could face as it carried with it an aura of a True Dao.

Pearl took a deep breath, looking at the sky in preparation for his own attack. He waited for the lightning bolt to strike down from the sky as his body began glowing golden once again.

This is taken from f(r)eeweb(n)ovel.𝒄𝒐𝙢.

Pearl looked to the sky, realizing that the attack was going to be much, much stronger than what he had thought it would be.

A True Dao lightning was terrifying. He was sure that he could still survive it as he was right now, but there were times when he simply couldn't take any risks. This was one of them.

Pearl needed to make sure he did not fail after all this. And so, he used a power to make himself stronger.

A glowing symbol appeared on his forehead, and at the same time, the final bolt of lightning fell from the sky.
