Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone
Chapter 431 - 429: Tribulation CrossingOn a normal day, no one would dare to act so improperly in front of the Empress.
However, Qin Yu is crossing a celestial tribulation!
His robes destroyed, not of his own volition.
The Empress naturally won’t fuss over such trivial details.
Moreover, her heart is wholly devoted to the Dao, void of any stray thoughts.
In Lifebound Space, the many lovely wives are somewhat bashful, while only the naive Ling’Er blinks her big eyes, staring unblinkingly.
No wonder every time she squirms in Brother Qin Yu’s embrace for a moment, she feels something hard poking her, it turns out...
"Ling’Er, are you afraid?"
Lin Shuishui lowered her voice, leaning over to ask her.
"Afraid?"
Ling’Er looked puzzled.
Though she feels poked often, what’s there to be afraid of?
"Not afraid? Then are you ready to get treated?"
Zhao Mengli sneaked over as well.
This Princess was even more perplexed.
Though she had learned some new knowledge during this time, she still remained somewhat bewildered and didn’t understand the meaning behind Lin Shuishui’s words.
They always talked about injections and medicine, and even mentioned Tang Monk’s Flesh...
Although knowing those may be matters between couples, what does this have to do with Brother Qin Yu crossing the celestial tribulation?
Yin Qinghe shot a glare at the two troublemakers.
They truly wouldn’t miss any chance to drag someone down with them.
However, thanks to Lin Shuishui’s jest, the atmosphere within Lifebound Space lightened a bit, so she was too lazy to stop them.
...
Qin Yu was carefully sensing the subtle changes in his body after being tempered by the thunder tribulation.
Soon followed the third, the fourth...
The might of each thunder tribulation increased, yet relying on his powerful Pure Yang Divine Body, Qin Yu didn’t even unleash his Nascent Soul Power, merely enduring all six bolts solely with corporeal strength.
Under the baptism of the thunder tribulation, he distinctly felt his physique growing stronger, even threads of weak electric current surged between his muscles.
"This celestial tribulation..."
In the distance, the Empress furrowed her eyebrows lightly.
She keenly sensed this tribulation was somewhat different from those she has seen.
According to royal records, the might of each celestial tribulation would steadily increase, which wasn’t much of an issue.
However, after six thunder tribulations have descended, the tribulation clouds still exuded a terrifying pressure, as if their might had not diminished!
How is this possible?!
"Qin Yu, do not be careless!"
The Empress’s brows tightened, cryptically recalling something, she sternly warned aloud.
Upon hearing the Empress’s transmitted voice, Qin Yu’s expression hardened, originally somewhat relaxed from effortlessly handling the sixth-layer thunder tribulation, now he became serious once more.
The Empress’s reminder surely signaled some anomaly.
The seventh thunder tribulation, haltingly yet to fall.
Qin Yu stared directly at the thunderclouds above with a grave expression.
He felt the oppressive force between heaven and earth becoming heavier, within the thunderclouds brewed an even more terrifying thunder power.
"Could it be they’re trying to strike me dead all at once?"
Qin Yu mumbled softly.
The emanating dreadful might had outstripped the previous six thunder tribulations.
As if the preceding merely served as appetizers?!
"Boom! Boom-boom-boom!"
In the skies above, the muffled and terrifying sound of thunder was incessant, like an ancient beast’s low growl, echoing within the churning tribulation clouds. The oppressive weight seeping from the sea of thunder plunged the ground below into a heart-palpitating silence.
"Booming——"
A bolt of lightning as thick as a water tank suddenly ripped through the sky, its momentum so fierce as if to cleave the horizon in two. In an instant, the dim world was illuminated by this lightning, with its pale light piercing all gloom.
Qin Yu’s eyes contracted sharply, shock coursing through him inwardly. The tribulation’s power far exceeded the sum of the previous six.
At this moment, he dared not act recklessly anymore.
At once, he activated the Free Creation Technique, his True Essence roaring like rivers, surging furiously. Under his initiation, his body seemed enveloped by a golden shield.
"Break!"
With determination in his gaze, the celestial tribulation’s might left no room for escape, only resolute resistance.
"Boom!"
As he took a step forward, the ground shook violently beneath him, and then, a fist infused with True Essence, with unstoppable force, crashed violently toward the descending lightning tribulation.
"Boom!..."
At the moment of contact, the True Essence on Qin Yu’s hand was ripped open, his palm’s fresh blood not yet spilled, and skin already charred, thanks precisely to the Pure Yang Divine Body’s strength. If it were another cultivator, this single strike would suffice to obliterate the entire arm, or even their physical form entirely.
"Huff..."
Qin Yu felt his entire arm numb and devoid of sensation, yet barely he managed to endure.
Back within Lifebound Space, the atmosphere which was somewhat tranquil suddenly turned heavy, even Lin Shuishui and Zhao Mengli lost the mood to lighten the air with jokes.
Despite residing inside Lifebound Space, through the cataclysmic scene outside, they could clearly sense the immense power of the preceding celestial tribulation.
Su Xihe’s pretty face was slightly pale. She couldn’t imagine if she encountered such a Celestial Tribulation when breaking through the Lotus Platform Realm, it would likely lead to her downfall.
Beside her, Yan Yu’s expression was extremely grave.
She lightly bit her lips. As Qin Yu’s wife with the highest cultivation, she was even more aware of the terrifying nature of this tribulation.
According to the ancient texts, the Celestial Tribulation consisted of nine stages.
With only two left, can Qin Yu still hold on?!
"No wonder it’s a Celestial Tribulation!"
Qin Yu lightly waved his arm. Though the situation seemed severe, it hadn’t caused any injuries within him. Within just a few breaths, as blood flowed, his previously numb arm completely recovered.
He was certainly not just at the early Lotus Platform stage.
With his Pure Yang Divine Body, he was fully a late-stage Nascent Soul body!
The Empress’s gaze was fixated on Qin Yu.
She could feel Qin Yu’s body almost visibly recovering; the charred skin on his palm peeled away, revealing the new skin beneath.
She saw with her own eyes that Qin Yu didn’t consume any elixirs, relying solely on his body. How terrifying was such a recovery speed?!
Suddenly, the Empress developed an interest in Qin Yu’s physique.
Could there truly be such a miraculous constitution in this world?
What exactly was it?
"Boom! Boom!"
In the sky, thunder clouds surged, the enormous tribulation cloud millstone rotated continuously, faintly filled within with countless electric snakes flickering, an extremely oppressive atmosphere quietly permeating out, covering this realm.
"Boom!"
Qin Yu’s body tensed, blood surged within, and faint arcs of electricity flickered across. At this moment, he had already pushed the Free Creation Divine Technique to its limit, True Essence roared through his meridians, and a vast power filled his entire body.
"Bring it on."
Qin Yu’s fists slowly clenched, the sound of air explosively compressed was faintly heard within his palms. He took a combat stance, ready to unleash his full power at any moment.
The Celestial Tribulation seemed to respond to his provocation as violent thunder snakes flickered within the tribulation cloud millstone, and a huge gap slowly emerged beneath the cloud.
"Boom!"
The terrifying thunder cloud was suddenly torn apart, and a tribulation even thicker than before crashed down, appearing to tear space in its wake, its formidable momentum unstoppable.
"Whoosh!"
As the lightning flashed, Qin Yu’s figure shot out like an arrow from a bow, both fists struck out simultaneously, powerful True Essence erupted.
Both speeds had surpassed the limit of human sight; in the Lifebound Space, even Qin Yu’s wives hadn’t clearly seen when the lightning exploded, and simultaneously, a figure was flung backward, crashing hard into the ground.
"Husband!"
Lin Qianqian exclaimed in shock, her hand covering her mouth, tears flowed from her beautiful eyes.
At this moment, the other women couldn’t comfort Lin Qianqian; their gazes were fixed on the charred pit on the ground.
"Don’t worry, if he couldn’t withstand it, he’d have returned to this space long ago."
Only Yan Yu clearly saw the situation.
Qin Yu surprisingly still endured it, though it looked somewhat tragic.
If another cultivator faced such, it’d mean their end.
The Empress quietly watched the distant pit, her eyes flashing with a divine light.
One couldn’t deny Qin Yu’s commendable courage.
However, such a risky action could only be endured by his extraordinary body.
But it left the Empress somewhat puzzled; even if Qin Yu intended to temper his body, it seemed overly extravagant, didn’t it?
Tempering with a Celestial Tribulation—wasn’t that seeking death?!
Didn’t he have stronger martial techniques or divine techniques in hand?
Moreover, wasn’t he skilled in arrays?
He could repair even the damaged ancient arrays of the Carefree Pavilion; he was hailed as an Array Master. Didn’t he know to set up some defense arrays?
Or perhaps...
Is Qin Yu planning to hold onto his trump card until the final tribulation?
At this moment, the tribulation cloud in the sky had dissipated by nearly half; clearly, these two thunder tribulations have consumed much of the Celestial Tribulation’s energy.
Now, only the last thunder tribulation remains!
"Sss..."
Qin Yu gritted his teeth, climbed out of the pit, the skin on his arms already charred upon contact, even the meridians inside were torn by the violent thunder power.
If not for the powerful recovery ability of the Fourth Layer Pure Yang Divine Body, these injuries would have laid him down for a while.
Qin Yu wasted no time, taking out two healing elixirs, swallowing them in one go.
The pure medicinal efficacy immediately spread throughout his body, and the meridians that were already gradually repairing themselves restored at an astonishing rate.
"Only the last one left?"
Qin Yu looked up at the sky. Upon seeing the terrifying tribulation cloud, his expression was grave.
At this moment, the tribulation cloud in the sky was slowly converging, forming a lightning vortex at its center, continuously absorbing the power from the tribulation clouds.
"This is..."
The Empress’s pupils shrank slightly, her calm and dignified face flashing with a trace of surprise.
"Qin Yu, the last is Heavenly Might; you cannot face it with your body!"
The Empress slightly sensed, then solemnly reminded.
She clearly felt that the Heavenly Might, which permeated the heavens and caused tremors in the hearts of people, was also merging into the tribulation cloud.
