Although the sudden burst of power from the golden scale was a great help to Lu Ping who was undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation, Lu Ping was still not used to something that was outside of his control. He even had a grudge against it. Moreover, the current situation was far from the point where Lu Ping had to reveal all his trump cards.
However, this was not the time to dwell on this. The Tribulation Clouds in the sky had yet to disperse. Not long after Lu Ping had survived the seventh Lightning Tribulation, the eighth Lightning Tribulation came crashing down.
The moment the eighth Lightning Tribulation appeared, Lu Ping cursed under his breath. This Lightning Tribulation was very similar to the seventh Lightning Tribulation that Lu Ping had encountered when he was observing Laozu's Heavenly Tribulation.
Although this Lightning Ball was much smaller than the one Laozu had faced in the past, Lu Ping did not dare to be careless. After all, he was only an early Dharma adept now. Back then, Celestial Laozu had faced the Lightning Tribulation to advance to become a Grand Adept.
Like a large drop of viscous liquid falling from the sky, Lu Ping, the Sword of the Real Spirit, and his own body were immersed in this ball of lightning.
This time, the power of the Lightning Tribulation came from all directions. Finally, the Sword of the Real Spirit could no longer hide behind Lu Ping to block the Lightning Tribulation for him.
The Dharma Power of the Dragon soared. This time, it did not dare to deliberately protect the Sword of the Real Spirit. Instead, it focused most of its attention on protecting its body.
Although a cultivator could not use treasures or items to block the Lightning Tribulation, it did not mean that it could not be blocked with spells. However, such blocking was often futile in the face of the Lightning Tribulation. This was because the Lightning Tribulation would still follow the power of the spell and find its way to the Dharma Power.
However, this was the effect that Lu Ping wanted. The Dharma Power of the Real Spirit opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of Essence Qi. Then, it turned into streams of Essence Qi that swam around Lu Ping's body, turning into four walls that protected his body. Most of the power of the Lightning Tribulation that struck his body was drawn to the Dharma Power of the Real Spirit. As if on purpose, it even exposed the Sword of the Real Spirit, which had been under Lu Ping's protection.
The Sword of the Real Spirit suddenly erupted and slashed six times at the ball of Lightning Tribulation. Lu Ping's heart skipped a beat. The Dharma Power of the Real Spirit did its best to dodge the six slashes from the Sword of the Real Spirit. When the six slashes arrived, the ball of Lightning Tribulation around Lu Ping was broken. Six large holes appeared on it!
It was a pity that the lightning retribution couldn't be eliminated so easily. The Sword of True Spirit stood proudly, and the lightning retribution that it destroyed landed on its body. Bursts of light flashed, and the entire Sword of True Spirit flickered. The strange wyrm carvings on the body of the sword would appear and disappear from time to time. However, this greatly weakened the impact of the lightning retribution on the Dragon Law Idol.
At the same time, Lu Ping's body that was protected by the [Water Seep Sword Skill] was only slightly weakened. The power of the lightning tribulation broke through the [Essence Qi Wall] and rained down on Lu Ping's body.
With a thought from Lu Ping, the Seven Treasure Thunder Calabash suddenly appeared above his body. The Lightning Tribulation that struck his body was immediately absorbed by the Seven Treasure Thunder Calabash like a whale drinking water. The Lightning Tribulation that Lu Ping's body withstood was greatly weakened.
Moreover, after the Seven Treasures Thunder Calabash absorbed the Tribulation Lightning, it still looked as if it wanted more. With a thought, Lu Ping's sword light wall missed another Tribulation Lightning Tribulation and the Seven Treasures Thunder Calabash absorbed most of it. As for the remaining Tribulation Lightning Tribulation, Lu Ping's body was strong enough to withstand it.
At this moment, Lu Ping seemed to be very meticulous. He wore down the Lightning Tribulation bit by bit. At the same time, he made the most of the Lightning Tribulation.
However, at this time, the power of the eighth Lightning Tribulation was completely under Lu Ping's control. The Dragon Dharma Form had experienced the explosion and recovery of the golden reverse scale when the seventh Lightning Tribulation descended. At this time, it had finally passed the eighth Lightning Tribulation.
The Seven Treasure Thunder Calabash was still swallowing lightning above Lu Ping's head. Its entire body was trembling. Immediately after, Lu Ping's Spiritual Force suddenly sensed that there was an additional restriction in the Seven Treasure Thunder Calabash. It was the eighth restriction of the Spirit Nurturing Path!
However, the Seven Treasure Thunder Calabash seemed to have a guilty conscience. After condensing the eighth restriction, it sank above Lu Ping's head as if it was avoiding something.
However, Lu Ping's Spiritual Force could clearly sense that the Seven Treasure Thunder Calabash was avoiding nothing but the Sword of True Spirit, which was swallowing lightning leisurely under the Dragon Dharma Form's body!
In fact, Lu Ping had already sensed this feeling when he placed the Horn of True Spirit into the core space. Given the Seven Treasures Thunder Gourd's personality, it didn't show any signs of provocation when the Horn of True Spirit hovered above the core space. However, it also didn't show any signs of fear like it did now.
After Lu Ping carved the Sword of True Spirit into a Spirit Nurturing Treasure, not only did the Seven Treasure Thunder Calabash become hostile towards it, but the Sword of True Spirit also rejected the Seven Treasure Thunder Calabash's aura.
At that time, Lu Ping laughed in his heart. Could it be that the rivalry between Jiao Daoren and Peng Daoren was so deep-rooted?
Now, it seemed like it was true. After the Sword of True Spirit experienced eight lightning tribulations and became a grade 1 spirit treasure, Lu Ping actually sensed a sense of fear from the Seven Treasures Thunder Calabash. Even though the Seven Treasures Thunder Calabash had already condensed its eighth seal, the sense of fear seemed to be increasing by the second!
Lu Ping clicked his tongue in wonder. One had to know how proud the Thunder Seven Treasures Calabash was. Usually, it would compete with any treasures Lu Ping took in and nurtured with his True Essence, be it an Avatar or a spirit treasure. However, the Thunder Seven Treasures Calabash was the only one that had remained indifferent. Now, it even showed a hint of fear.
Compared to the seventh lightning tribulation, the eighth lightning tribulation that Lu Ping had passed clearly did not hurt Lu Ping as much.
However, before Lu Ping could catch his breath and figure out the reason behind it, there was another explosion in the sky. The dark clouds that blotted out the sky had shrunk by half after the eighth lightning strike. However, the remaining half of the dark clouds were clearly going to attack in full force in this final strike!
However, just in case, Lu Ping still swallowed a medicinal pellet concocted from the Spirit Monster Peach. The medicinal pellet turned into a surge of True Essence that flowed through his body and finally gathered in his heart space for his avatar to use.
A vortex of dark clouds gradually formed in the sky, but the lightning tribulation did not move at this moment. Lu Ping could not help but frown. The lightning tribulation did not fall in time. It seemed to give the person undergoing the tribulation a chance to breathe, but the dark clouds from all directions were gathering towards the center of the vortex. Looking at its power, the power of the ninth lightning tribulation was bound to be extraordinary. How could Lu Ping relax?
When the dark clouds finally condensed to the limit, a passage suddenly split open above Lu Ping's head. Lu Ping's expression suddenly changed as a golden river roared down from the passage!
Lightning Galaxy River!
Lu Ping's heart skipped a beat, but he did not dare to be the slightest bit slow. With a loud shout, the Dharma Power of the Dragon did not retreat. Instead, it advanced towards the descending Lightning Galaxy.
However, the moment the Dharma Power of the Dragon went against the flow, all the Spiritual Qi in the area was seized by the Dharma Power of the Dragon. The Spiritual Qi gathered around the Dharma Power of the Dragon and formed a torrent of Spiritual Qi. The torrent of Spiritual Qi followed the Dharma Power of the Dragon up into the sky and clashed with the Lightning Galaxy.
Great River East Sword Technique!
Back then, when Lu Ping observed Tian Xiang Grand Ancestor's Heavenly River Lightning Tribulation, he was inspired and comprehended the [Great River Flowing East] skill. But now, he was going to use the [Great River Flowing East] skill to go against the current and neutralize the Heavenly River Lightning's impact on him.
Boom!
Hundreds of feet above Kongming Island, the two collided with a loud bang. The golden Milky Way splashed and the silver waves scattered. The huge phenomenon of heaven and earth froze at this moment, attracting the attention of everyone outside of Kongming Island.
To think that the Lightning Tribulation could be so bold. This was a blatant provocation to the might of heaven and earth!
At this moment, Lu Ping was not in the mood to think about this. The only thing he needed to think about was how to survive the attack of the Lightning Tribulation.
Although Lu Ping's counterattack had neutralized the power of the Lightning Tribulation for a while, the Dharma Power of the Dragon was covered in wounds. Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Lu Ping could not help but show a pained expression.
The Lightning Galaxy was endless and the Great River East Sword Technique was no longer able to continue. However, Lu Ping's Dharma Power of the Dragon continued forward and fought bravely against the Lightning Galaxy, not showing the slightest sign of retreating.
On the ground, Lu Ping's body was covered in blood and he looked like an evil spirit. However, the blood this time was different from before. At this moment, the blood that seeped out of Lu Ping's body was no longer the impurities in his body. Instead, it was real blood that gushed out after his body began to crack. Not only that, just as the Dharma Power of the Dragon broke through another wave of the Lightning Galaxy, Lu Ping's body spat out a mouthful of blood.
Although the Dharma Power of the Dragon could bear Lu Ping's consciousness, it did not mean that Lu Ping's body had become a dead object. On the contrary, Lu Ping seemed to be multitasking. The Dharma Power of the Dragon was going through the Lightning Tribulation, but the real foundation was still in his body.
At this moment, the Seven Treasures Thunder Calabash could no longer care about the Sword of True Spirit. It hovered above Lu Ping's head and firmly protected his body. At the same time, a Lightning Shield descended and absorbed all the lightning that struck towards Lu Ping's body into the calabash. However, the calabash itself began to tremble more and more. Amidst the crackling sounds, the entire calabash was immediately submerged in the lightning.
The Sword of True Spirit also lost its previous calmness and chased after the Avatar of True Spirit. If Lu Ping tried to protect the Sword of True Spirit, the Strange Jiao Treasure Seal would appear on the Sword of True Spirit. If Lu Ping ignored the Sword of True Spirit, the Strange Jiao Treasure Seal would disappear from the Sword of True Spirit, and the Sword of True Spirit would resist the lightning tribulation with its own body.
Although the Sword of True Spirit's main body was unharmed, Lu Ping noticed that every time the Sword of True Spirit resisted the lightning tribulation, the main body wouldn't be harmed at all, but the sword's body would constantly tremble.
Lu Ping inwardly sighed. In the end, the time it took to form was too short and the time to nurture it was too long. Although the Flying Sword had enough spirituality, its foundation was still a bit lacking. The Heaven Rank didn't erase the body of the magic treasure, but rather the spirituality nurtured within.
The Dragon Dharma Power opened its mouth and the Sword of True Spirit let out a cheerful sword cry before entering the Dharma Power's mouth and disappearing. As for the tribulation lightning that fell on the Dharma Power's body, it suddenly increased by two-thirds!
The Heavenly River of Lightning Retribution was still wreaking havoc, but the Dharma Idol of the Dragon Dharma Idol suddenly opened its mouth again and a beam of sword light burst out from its mouth, splitting the Heavenly River of Lightning Retribution in two in one fell swoop. Then, a fist-sized pearl was spat out from the Dharma Idol's mouth.
The Pure Yang Pearl appeared and blocked the lightning river that had been split in two. Then, the river couldn't close up again. The Dragon Dharma Power turned around and swung its tail, wrapping Lu Ping's body in the Dharma Power's body.
Only the Thunder Seven Treasures Calabash was still surrounded by the lightning and remained motionless. However, Lu Ping's Divine Will could tell that the Thunder Seven Treasures Calabash was currently absorbing Lu Ping's tribulation lightning to condense the ninth Spirit Nurturing Treasure Restriction.
At this time, the Lightning Tribulation was finally nearing its end. The Dragon Dharma Form had already become extremely illusory, but fortunately, there was still the help of the Pure Yang Pearl at the last moment, so the whole process was messy but not dangerous.
The mouth in the dark clouds in the sky finally released the brewing lightning river, but the tribulation clouds still didn't disperse. Instead, they condensed into a ball.
When the Dragon Dharma Idol looked up, it saw the condensed object slowly floating down, and then suddenly exploding in mid-air. For a moment, the sky was filled with purple Qi, but a strong gust of pure Yang wind blew down.
The Sword of True Spirit hastily jumped out from the Dragon Dharma Power's mouth. Its whole body began trembling, as though it was drunk. This time, it was not because it was afraid. Rather, it was because it was drunk from the pure Yang energy.
The Sword of True Spirit was made from a supreme material and its body was most likely the Horn of True Spirit that belonged to Jiao Daoren. However, when it absorbed the gifts of the world, it still couldn't compare to the Dragon Dharma Power.
The scene of purple Qi filling the sky only lasted for a moment before the area in the middle suddenly became clear. Clearly, the Dragon Dharma Power had sucked it clean.
Next, the Dragon Dharma Power plunged into Lu Ping's core space. As for Lu Ping, he continued to sit cross-legged on the ground. The primary energy within his body surged like a mighty river and the sky-encompassing purple Qi gathered around Lu Ping's body once again. It did not take long before a massive purple Qi cocoon was formed around him.
In the past, after a cultivator had successfully overcome a tribulation, it was already quite amazing for a cultivator to absorb 30% to 50% of the pure Yang energy that descended.
However, after Lu Ping had successfully overcome his tribulation, the amount of pure Yang energy that descended from the sky was more than double that of an ordinary cultivator who had overcome their first Lightning Tribulation!
Admittedly, this was partly due to the Sword of True Spirit participating in the tribulation. However, the amount of pure Yang energy that the Sword of True Spirit had absorbed was less than a quarter of what Lu Ping had absorbed. It was clear that the true reason why the amount of pure Yang energy far exceeded that of ordinary people was because of Lu Ping.
After the two cocoons of pure Yang were formed, a portion of the pure Yang energy did not wait for the pure Yang energy to dissipate. Instead, the pure Yang energy hovering above Lu Ping's cocoon suddenly shone with a rainbow-coloured light. Next, the pure Yang energy converged upon the Pure Yang Bead. After that, the sky returned to tranquility. Not a single one of the gifts from Heaven and Earth went to waste for Lu Ping!
At that moment, Lu Ping, who was inside the cocoon of pure Yang, was experiencing a huge harvest after overcoming a dangerous situation. There was no longer a need for Lu Ping to risk his life and spend a great deal of time to refine the pure Yang energy. On the contrary, the rate at which Lu Ping was absorbing and refining the pure Yang energy was abnormally fast. It was so fast that other cultivators would find it hard to catch up to him.
This was all thanks to the fact that Lu Ping had been refining pure Yang energy for a long time. Be it observing Laozu's tribulation, Laozu's tribulation, the Pure Yang Soul or the Pure Yang Bead, even before reading about the first Lightning Tribulation, the primary energy within Lu Ping's body had already become very familiar with the process of refining pure Yang energy.
A vigorous life force radiated from the body of the Dharma Form of the dragon, then returned to the blood vessels and surged towards the limbs and bones of the body, nourishing every inch of the body.
Lu Ping could clearly sense that the injuries his body had suffered during the previous tribulation were recovering at an extremely fast speed. Moreover, after experiencing the baptism of the Lightning Tribulation and the nourishment of the pure Yang energy, Lu Ping's body had become even more resilient. If Lu Ping's body was equivalent to an ordinary magic treasure before, then his body could even compete with a psychic magic treasure now.
However, what made Lu Ping feel the most was the vigorous life force contained in his body and the Dharma Form!
At their level of practice, they were already very familiar with the feeling of life and death. At this moment, Lu Ping could clearly feel the life force contained in his body. If not for the fact that he had not died prematurely in the Central Plains or had been seriously injured and had lost his lifespan, he could definitely live for 1,350 years!
An ordinary early Dharma adept's lifespan was at most a thousand years, and a mid Dharma adept who had survived the first Lightning Tribulation could at most extend his lifespan by 250 years.
However, perhaps it was because Lu Ping had refined the Thousand Wonder Dew when he had entered the late Core Forging stage, or perhaps it was because of some other reason, his lifespan after entering the Dharma stage was 50 years longer than the average person's. Now that he had survived the Lightning Tribulation and entered the mid Dharma stage, his lifespan had increased by another 50 years. In total, his lifespan had reached an enviable 1,350 years!
Although great adepts of the late Dharma stage were said to have a maximum lifespan of 1,500 years, in reality, there were very few who could live for 1,300 years. Lu Ping's lifespan had reached a point where it was comparable to that of a great adept of the late Dharma stage.
After that, the overflowing vitality in Lu Ping's body began to retract, and the cocoon of pure Yang around his body became thinner and thinner. At this moment, Lu Ping's entire body suddenly shook, and the cocoon of pure Yang shattered. At the same time, the Dharma Power of the Dragon in his core space suddenly let out a long roar, and the dragon's claws suddenly began to change. The original crocodile's crocodile's claws had now become crocodile's crocodile's claws, and a cold light shone from the claws.
However, what was even more unexpected to Lu Ping was that the eyes of the Dharma Power of the Dragon were also shining with a cold light. Its sharp gaze could even pierce through the void three feet in front of it, and it had suddenly become a pair of eagle eyes!
The seventh Dharma Power, the Dharma Power of the Dragon, not only had eagle claws, but it also had a pair of eagle eyes!
