Chapter 422: Tribulation
The situation that surprised Lin Feng the most was the time taken for his refinement to complete. It was far shorter than he had anticipated.
He had his doubts about it given his physique and the cultivation technique, which made his dantian closer to chaos, but since he didn’t have much knowledge about this aspect, he didn’t expect it to come true.
Well, it was a good thing, he didn’t have to wait for years to go through this refinement.
He began observing the last bit of refinement and slowly controlled the process with his will. He had to fortify every single one of his meridians as refinement finally reached the end.
He immediately felt the changes, his new dantian began glowing with intense brilliance that his flesh wasn’t able to hide it. His stomach glowed in a purple shade before it slowly began to fade away, and that’s when it happened.
RUMBLE!
The tribulation began forming in the clouds since the Origin Dantian had just consumed a lot of spirit qi from his previous dantian which was more than enough to advance it to the very peak of Tribulation Ascendance, that meant he was going to advance to that realm right now.
He didn’t even have to absorb the Tribulation Lightning from this tribulation now since the path of cultivation after this stage was far different.
This spirit qi wouldn’t give him any benefits, what he needed was Immortal qi, which was different from spirit qi.
A tribulation meant for someone who hadn’t taken the step on the dao was only made from spirit qi, so no matter how much he absorbed it, it wouldn’t matter.
He focused his attention back on his dantian, his meridians were getting filled with chaos qi and were gradually going through changes.
They were becoming sturdier than before. This was similar to the refinement of his dantian, but much faster.
He really wasn’t expecting something like this to happen, it seemed the Origin Dantian creates Origin Meridians too.
....
"Hm?... Tribulation Clouds."
Xuan Xue and the others were surprised, they didn’t know that after the completion he would break through to the late stage of Tribulation Ascendance.
Everyone else other than Xuan Xue prepared themselves to utilize this opportunity.
"Senior brother is going to become even stronger now..." Mu Yao’s voice was a little dejected even though she was happy inside.
She wanted to become his equal, but every time he just widened the gap far more than before.
Xuan Xue patted her head. "Don’t be sad, you will definitely reach his realm one day, it is just a matter of time."
Mu Yao nodded with resolve. "Definitely, master..."
...
The first lightning was like a breeze for Lin Feng.
The second lightning was just a little heavier breeze, the third lightning made his skin tingle, while the fourth lightning finally made him feel something beyond a tingling sensation.
Soon he reached the point where he had to use his barrier, and it didn’t take long for the tribulation to reach the eighth lightning, and everyone outside watched with slightly concerned expressions.
They already knew that Lin Feng had gone through an eight lightning tribulation previously, but seeing that in person was a different matter.
Even the seventh lightning made them extremely nervous as the strength in that strike was just too much for most of them to comprehend.
Thankfully, Lin Feng had gone into seclusion without activating the array to isolate spiritual sense, so they were able to confirm that he was alright.
...
Lin Feng was looking above towards the tribulation clouds through the cave abode, he was feeling immense strength coursing through his body.
The amount of chaos qi he had inside his new dantian was tremendous, and now his meridians had finally completed their refinement.
This was a change beyond his assumptions, he could feel that the amount of qi he could use through these meridians was far more than before.
He had heard the phrase that using an Origin Dantian was like gaining a special constitution, and he finally understood why.
Nevertheless, he hadn’t completely lost his previous constitution because only his dantian and meridians had changed, not his flesh, blood, and soul.
It would be right to say that he had half Pure Yang Body and the other half Chaos Body.
CRACKKKK!!!!
The eighth tribulation lightning finally fell down from the firmament. It was so powerful that Xuan Lian and the others took a few steps back instinctively, only Xuan Xue stayed at her original location with her eyes fixed on the abode.
Mu Yao hid herself behind Xuan Xue while clinging to her robes. She was a little ashamed to hide like this, but her whole being screamed at her to do so.
Lin Feng was extremely calm inside the abode, the amount and strength of chaos qi he was able to control was far more than he had imagined.
The barrier he had created was enough to handle all the onslaught of the eighth tribulation lightning. He was even wondering if this time the heavens would finally see him worthy enough to strike him with the ninth lightning or not.
As the effects of the eighth tribulation lightning faded, Xuan Xue and the others finally took deep breaths of relief while being shocked inwardly due to how easily he had handled it.
When all of them were about to move towards the abode, Xuan Xue sensed something and grabbed Mu Yao’s hand, who was about to run towards the abode.
Xuan Lian and the others took a little longer, but they felt the same and immediately looked towards the tribulation cloud above their heads.
"N-No way..." Zi Mei voiced out everyone’s thoughts right now.
The tribulation cloud hadn’t faded away into spiritual qi for Lin Feng to absorb, instead it was still rumbling while expanding even further than before.
This could only mean one thing, the ninth tribulation.
"Fall back... immediately." Xuan Xue brought Mu Yao with her as the range of the tribulation cloud expanded enough to take them within its range.
The others gritted their teeth while falling back.
"W-Will he be fine?" Xuan Lian’s voice was trembling, she was now scared instead of just being worried.
