Chapter 1776: Four of Nine Heavenly Tribulation
Su Zimo’s three true bodies underwent Tribulation Transcendence at the same time. Against the impact of the Heavenly Tribulation, the Dragon Phoenix True Body and Green Lotus True Body chose to take the first lightning tribulation head-on with their bodies to sense the power within.
As for the Martial Dao Prime Body, he was even more domineering and took the initiative to crush the lightning tribulation!
Only through the actual Tribulation Transcendence can one understand the obscurities within.
Apart from the massive power of thunder, there was also a mysterious power within the lightning tribulation!
It was that power that caused the lightning in the black clouds to transform into a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation!
At that moment, the bodies of the Dragon Phoenix True Body and Green Lotus True Body endured the baptism of the first lightning tribulation. Lightning flashed and coiled around their bodies.
The power of thunder in the lightning tribulation gradually dissipated and the remaining strange power seeped into their bodies through their skin.
That strange power was also changing his two true bodies!
“It’s Heaven and Earth Essence Qi!”
A thought flashed through Su Zimo’s mind.
A few years ago, when Die Yue descended, she mentioned some things about the upper world to him. Among them, there was the mysteriousness of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi.
After fusing with Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, lesser divine powers could transform and evolve into an even more terrifying power that could destroy Su Zimo’s supreme divine power!
Right now, the reason why the thunder transformed into a lightning tribulation was definitely because it was infused with Heaven and Earth Essence Qi!
At the same time, a realization flashed through Su Zimo’s mind.
Although Tribulation Transcendence was dangerous, it was a threshold that cultivators of the lower world had to cross.
In the minor chiliocosms, one could only come into contact with Heaven and Earth Essence Qi through Tribulation Transcendence to baptize their flesh and Essence Spirit before transforming once more.
That way, cultivators of the lower world would be able to adapt to the environment of the upper world.
Only cultivators who underwent Tribulation Transcendence could absorb Heaven and Earth Essence Qi from the upper world to cultivate!
The Martial Dao Prime Body crushed the Heavenly Tribulation and the lightning dissipated in his palm. However, the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi within surged into the body of the Martial Dao Prime Body and baptized his flesh.
The Martial Dao Prime Body closed his eyes slightly and sensed the slight changes in his body.
“When the red Heavenly Tribulation descended earlier on, I could still feel a sense of trepidation despite being so far away. How terrifying,”
An Emperor sighed gently.
“To think that such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation would be nothing to the Martial Emperor.”
“How can Tribulation Transcendence be that simple? There are nine lightning tribulations and each one is fiercer than the last!”
“This is only the beginning!”
Actually, if it was just a single lightning tribulation, many Emperors throughout history would be able to withstand it no matter what with all their trump cards, methods and Dharmic treasures.
However, most Emperors who failed their Tribulation Transcendence died in the later lightning tribulations.
Most Emperors could not defend against the impact of the Heavenly Tribulation and their souls were dispersed after their trump cards were exhausted.
Many Emperors refused to undergo the Tribulation Transcendence for a long time because they wanted to comprehend as many supreme divine powers as possible—that was because every single supreme divine power could defend against an additional lightning tribulation!
The skies above the East Sea.
The dark clouds were even lower and thicker.
Blazing red electric currents intertwined in the dark clouds and gathered towards the center of the black cloud vortex!
Crack!
A dark red lightning tribulation descended from the skies and smashed towards Su Zimo’s three true bodies!
The color of the lightning tribulation was much darker than before and the power it emitted was even more terrifying!
The Dragon Phoenix True Body and Green Lotus True Body did not move still and welcomed the baptism of the Heavenly Tribulation with their bodies!
Apart from Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, there was also a forceful power of thunder in the Heavenly Tribulation.
That baptism made the flesh of his two true bodies even stronger!
To begin with, lightning contained lifeforce and the essence of Heaven and Earth—all of that was a great tonic for Su Zimo!
Of course, no one else could imitate this method of Tribulation Transcendence.
The Martial Dao Prime Body was still as domineering as ever. Against the descending lightning tribulation, he punched in reverse and shattered the dark red lightning tribulation!
Under countless gazes, the lightning tribulations descended time and again.
The colors turned darker; dark red, blood red and scarlet!
The power of the lightning tribulations became increasingly terrifying as well. Even the Emperors who were watching from afar felt shudders!
The two true bodies did not move at all as they endured the baptism of the lightning tribulations. Not only were they not injured, their auras became stronger instead!
The way the Martial Dao Prime Body attempted the Tribulation Transcendence was even more violent and direct.
Initially, he was still standing in midair and raising his hand to defend against the lightning tribulations.
However, at the seventh, eighth and ninth tribulations, the Martial Dao Prime Body rose against the tide and charged towards the Heavenly Tribulations!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The moment the ninth lightning tribulation descended, the Martial Dao Prime Body had already arrived beneath the black cloud. He raised his fist and punched towards the lightning vortex in the center of the black cloud, shouting!
“Break!”
Boom!
The lightning cloud was shattered by a single punch from the Martial Dao Prime Body and dissipated everywhere!
The Martial Dao Prime Body stood beneath the firmaments like an unparalleled god!
In less than an hour, all nine lightning tribulations were passed.
Su Zimo’s three true bodies were safe and sound!
“To think that the most dangerous eighth and ninth tribulations would be passed by the Martial Emperor so easily.”
“This method of Tribulation Transcendence is truly unprecedented.”
The living beings of the ten thousand races lamented.
Although the Tribulation Transcendence was over, Su Zimo’s three true bodies did not leave and no phenomenon descended from the firmaments.
According to the ancient books, a milky-white beam of light would descend upon the Tribulation Transcendence cultivator and guide him to the upper world.
However, after the nine lightning tribulations ended, the pressure released by the firmaments became even more terrifying, as though a calamity had descended!
“What’s going on?”
“Didn’t the Martial Emperor succeed in his Tribulation Transcendence?”
The living beings of the ten thousand races became restless.
“Could it be…”
Lin Xuanji’s heart skipped a beat as he turned to the storyteller with a questioning expression.
The storyteller nodded with a grim expression. “In that case, the legend of the Heavenly Tribulation is true!”
“What legend?”
The Emperors asked curiously.
The major sects were not the only ones without much concrete records of the Heavenly Tribulation; even Enigma Palace only had some legends.
The storyteller said, “Legend has it that there are nine Heavenly Tribulations.”
“We know about that. Isn’t it the nine lightning tribulations?” An Emperor continued.
The storyteller shook his head. “The nine is not referring to the nine lightning tribulations, but nine Heavenly Tribulations!”
“What?!”
The Emperors were shocked.
Long Ran asked, “You mean to say that there are nine of such Heavenly Tribulations?”
The storyteller nodded before shaking his head. “As far as we know, the nine lightning tribulations we saw earlier on could only be considered as the first level of the Heavenly Tribulation. In other words, it can be referred to as the One of Nine Heavenly Tribulation.”
“However, if any monster incarnate is born in the world and the heavens are jealous, there’s a chance that a second Heavenly Tribulation will be triggered. There will still be nine lightning tribulations in the second Heavenly Tribulation and that will be known as the Two of Nine Heavenly Tribulation!”
“The Eternal Human Emperor once attracted the Three of Nine Heavenly Tribulation!”
Not many people in Enigma Palace knew about this, let alone others.
The storyteller paused for a moment and said slowly, “Legend has it that the limit of the lower world is the Four of Nine Heavenly Tribulation! Up till now, there has never been such a Heavenly Tribulation in Tianhuang Mainland.”
