[The long-awaited 2-in-1 1,6000 word chapter. Let's not separate anymore.]
The bottleneck of Song Shuhang's eighth dantian was already teetering on the verge of collapse due to the impact of the high-quality energy transmitted over by that powerful expert that seized Reiki.
The moment the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Innate True Qi in his body took shape, the bottleneck couldn't hold on any longer and died.
The huge amount of Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Innate True Qi inside Song Shuhang's body started to surge violently from his original dantian.
The innate true qi gathered in the Dragon Tail Dantian, then passed through the Dragon Claw, Dragon Body, Dragon Palm, Dragon Neck, and Dragon Head Dantian. Every time it passed through a dantian, the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Innate True Qi would become bigger and stronger, just like a rolling snowball.
Especially in the last few dantians, there existed high-quality energy that was' transferred 'to him by that mighty figure. This high-quality energy was like a piece of ancient ice that was slowly melting, and the true qi it produced was also of a very high quality.
After fusing with this true qi, the quantity and quality of the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Innate True Qi skyrocketed.
In the end, the huge amount of Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Innate True Qi poured into the eighth dantian, the Dragon Horn dantian.
In one breath, the eighth dantian was filled to the brim!
It was filled to the brim!
Song Shuhang wanted to cry, but no tears came out.
It was unexpectedly filled to the brim in one breath.
The power of the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Technique was far beyond his imagination. For ordinary cultivators, after opening the Dragon Horn dantian, they would have to go through a process of accumulating true qi. They would have to fill the Dragon Horn dantian with true qi and then prepare to transcend the tribulation.
However, Song Shuhang didn't take the usual route and directly skipped the process of accumulating true qi.
Although the eighth dantian was overflowing with true qi, the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Innate True Qi in his original dantian and the other seven dantians was still being produced in a steady stream.
The Innate true qi produced by the eight dantians all poured into the Dragon Horn dantian.
In the end, all the true qi gushed out of the Dragon Horn dantian and spread between heaven and earth.
In the blink of an eye, the spiritual qi around Song Shuhang's body became very rich. The few potted plants in the room quickly grew under the influence of the rich spiritual qi.
In a few breaths, it actually bloomed into a beautiful flower bud.
If Song Shuhang ran out of money in the future, maybe he could open a flower shop and make a lot of money?
…
…
Song Shuhang immediately stopped operating the 《Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Technique》, but the true qi within his body continued to gush out.
Vaguely, he felt that there was a mysterious power in heaven and earth that was attracted by the true energy he was ejecting.
Shuhang's expression changed.
The mysterious force that had been drawn over was the Heavenly Tribulation!
The Heavenly Tribulation that countless cultivators loved and hated. What he loved was that as long as he survived the Heavenly Tribulation, his strength would rise to the next level. Since ancient times, the number of cultivators who had died to Heavenly Tribulations was innumerable.
If Song Shuhang continued to spew out his True Qi, the Heavenly Tribulation would take shape and then strike him!
"No, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah." Song Shuhang wished he could stretch out his hand and block his Dragon Horn Dantian.
But that was impossible … he had already entered the 'tribulation transcendence mode'. Even if he didn't practice, his body would still continuously produce true energy that would be ejected from his Dragon Horn Dantian.
The Heavenly Tribulation could no longer be stopped.
…
…
Shuhang hadn't transcended the Heavenly Tribulation yet, but yesterday, he heard from Yu Jiaojiao that the Heavenly Tribulation of the Second Stage was mainly made up of pure lightning, and other attributes such as the flames of heavenly tribulation were rarely integrated.
The Heavenly Tribulation of the Second Stage was divided into five to ten waves, depending on the character of the cultivator. Each wave was stronger and stronger than the previous one.
If one was lucky, after the fifth wave of the Heavenly Tribulation, they would advance to the Third Stage Battle-King realm. If one was unlucky, they would have to endure ten waves.
Five waves and ten waves were two completely different concepts.
In short, even the Heavenly Tribulation depended on one's character — in this world that only looked at one's appearance and character, he had completely given up hope.
…
…
Since it was the Heavenly Tribulation, Shuhang naturally couldn't transcend it in Yu Jiaojiao's villa. He immediately jumped up from the bed, opened the window, and jumped down from the second floor of the villa.
Then, he used the 《Virtuous Man's Ten Thousand Mile Walk》 and quickly ran toward the outskirts of Honghe Town in the Jiangnan area.
His good friends, Gao Mou and Tubo, were still in the villa. What if the Heavenly Tribulation affected them? They were just ordinary people, and would definitely turn into ashes under the Heavenly Tribulation.
As Song Shuhang quickly jumped out of the villa, Yu Jiaojiao also rushed out of the room and followed closely behind him. She was originally slightly drunk, but she was awakened by the aura of the Heavenly Tribulation.
"Shuhang, you were imparted with strength again?" Yu Jiaojiao anxiously asked.
Before going to bed, Shuhang was still in the Second Stage Seventh Dantian Realm. How could he suddenly break through to the Eighth Dantian in the middle of the night, and even directly transcend the Heavenly Tribulation?
After hearing Yu Jiaojiao's voice, Song Shuhang's heart calmed down a lot. He said with a bitter face, "I wasn't imparted with strength today... I was courting death."
"What did you do?" Yu Jiaojiao asked.
"Today, I ate all the spirit beast crystals of the thirty-three divine beasts in one go and upgraded the pseudo-innate true qi inside my body into the perfect Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Innate True Qi. Not long after I reached the Large Success Stage, my Eighth Dantian broke through. The true qi of the 《Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Technique》 was especially powerful, and it filled my last dantian in one go, attracting the Heavenly Tribulation. "Song Shuhang's face was full of tears.
"..." Yu Jiaojiao.
Courting death? Why was Shuhang unable to understand this logic?
"I can't stop the true qi inside my body, and I can feel that the Heavenly Tribulation is about to descend." Song Shuhang said anxiously, "Jiaojiao, do you know a place in the vicinity where I can transcend the tribulation without being disturbed?"
"I'll take you there. Try to adjust your condition." Yu Jiaojiao's figure flashed and landed behind Song Shuhang. She grabbed Song Shuhang's body, and a flying magical treasure appeared under her feet. Afterward, she soared into the sky.
...
...
Three minutes later, Yu Jiaojiao brought Song Shuhang to a valley outside Honghe Town in the Jiangnan area.
Under normal circumstances, cultivators would carefully choose the place to transcend their tribulation.
For example, if the tribulation involved a 'fire tribulation', they would choose a place with abundant water vapor.
If the tribulation involved a 'water tribulation', they would choose a place like a desert.
However, it was too late for Song Shuhang to make a choice. He could only reluctantly choose a place that was far away from the town and uninhabited.
Yu Jiaojiao asked, "Do you have enough medicinal pills?"
"Yes," Song Shuhang replied. Song Shuhang replied. The big red packet that the seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group gave him last time included medicinal pills. Therefore, he didn't really use them. Therefore, he still had enough.
Yu Jiaojiao then asked, "What about magical treasures? Do you have any magical treasures? Put them all on. "
Song Shuhang immediately took out the emerald-green kasaya from his size-reducing purse and put it on. Then, he took out the treasured saber Broken Tyrant and held it tightly.
Both the ancient bronze ring and the Green Breeze Speed Boost Talisman were ready to take action.
Then, he put on the thick golden chain. This golden chain would allow him to circulate the power of the (Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Technique) even more smoothly. While transcending the tribulation, he didn't want to let go of even the slightest bonus.
Finally, he took out a 'Volcano Pill' and put it in his mouth. This was a medicinal pill that could restore a large amount of true qi in a very short period of time. If he didn't have enough true qi while transcending the tribulation, he could directly swallow it.
After doing all this, Song Shuhang tightly held the treasured saber Broken Tyrant, and true qi continuously surged out of his body.
"That's it? Don't you have any defensive techniques? "Yu Jiaojiao asked.
Song Shuhang forced a smile and shook his head. Aside from the emerald-green kasaya, he didn't have any defensive equipment.
After all, he didn't expect that he would suddenly transcend the tribulation and be caught off guard.
He didn't even have the time to ask the seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group what human cultivators needed to pay attention to when transcending the heavenly tribulation of the Second Stage.
"Can't you transcend the tribulation a few days later? You're making me anxious!" Yu Jiaojiao anxiously stamped her foot.
She remembered that when she transcended the heavenly tribulation, her father, True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon, prepared ten defensive magical treasures for her and helped her arrange layers of defensive formations on the small island in the East China Sea. These formations had to be personally engraved by Yu Jiaojiao, and True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon couldn't do it for her.
The heavenly tribulation was a very personal matter.
If someone were to intervene and help, the power of the heavenly tribulation would increase. The stronger the person was, the stronger the power of the heavenly tribulation would be.
Due to this, even though Yu Jiaojiao had mastered several defensive formations, she couldn't arrange them for Song Shuhang.
And it was impossible for Song Shuhang to learn how to arrange defensive formations in a short period of time.
First of all, most of these formations were secret skills passed down in True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon's family, and they weren't meant to be taught to outsiders.
Moreover, formations were learned in a university, not something that could be copied and pasted on a computer. They involved a lot of basic theories.
It was impossible for Song Shuhang to learn how to arrange formations in a short period of time.
More importantly, Song Shuhang didn't have the necessary materials to arrange formations. Even if his learning ability was off the charts and he could instantly learn how to arrange formations, he wouldn't be able to arrange any useful formations without the necessary materials.
...
...
After seeing that the heavenly tribulation was getting closer and closer, Yu Jiaojiao sighed and said, "Shuhang, don't die!"
"I feel that … I'm afraid that I'm going to die this time." Song Shuhang turned his head around and forced a smile. He felt that the number of waves of his heavenly tribulation wouldn't be small.
Since he practiced the (Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Technique), the true qi in his body had been transformed into a type of true qi that was close to innate true qi.
Innate true qi was the true qi of a cultivator of the Fourth Stage. Although Song Shuhang's current true qi wasn't innate true qi, its quality was already very close to that of a cultivator of the Fourth Stage.
In addition, his mental energy was several times stronger than that of an ordinary cultivator of the Third Stage.
With these two factors added together, Song Shuhang's heavenly tribulation reached a terrifying level.
Song Shuhang felt that the heavenly tribulation he was about to face was very strong!
It had to be at least ten waves.
Yu Jiaojiao said angrily, "Tsk, tsk! Don't say such inauspicious things."
"I can feel that my heavenly tribulation will have at least ten waves." Song Shuhang heaved a sigh. Back then, when he pressed the keyboard and joined the Nine Provinces Number One Group, he had made up his mind that he wouldn't be afraid of the death of the heavenly tribulation.
But little did he expect that the resolution he had made a few months ago would soon turn into reality.
"..." Yu Jiaojiao.
She didn't know how to comfort Song Shuhang.
There were ten waves of the heavenly tribulation, but Song Shuhang wasn't prepared at all. It was a situation where he would die out of 9.9.
The only thing Yu Jiaojiao could do at this time was to pray in silence.
At the same time, she started to secretly gather her strength.
If Song Shuhang failed to transcend the tribulation, she would take the risk and try to scatter the heavenly tribulation!
* * * * *
Eight minutes later...
The true qi erupting from Song Shuhang's body was getting stronger and stronger.
The grass and trees in the valley were nourished by the spiritual qi and started to grow at a crazy speed.
At the same time, Song Shuhang's body was also undergoing a slight transformation. However, this transformation was so slight that even Song Shuhang, who was preparing to transcend the tribulation, didn't notice the change.
What was undergoing the transformation was his constitution. His constitution was slowly but surely improving.
After eating Immortal Fairy Bie Xue's' immortal dishes', Song Shuhang's constitution had reached the peak of the Second Stage Realm. This was also the reason why Ling Chen had dared to seek death and eat spirit beast crystals.
Yesterday, Song Shuhang had advanced several small realms in a row.
Every time he advanced a small realm, all his attributes, including mental energy, true qi, and constitution, would increase to a certain extent.
Song Shuhang's mental energy was already too strong. Therefore, the increase in mental energy brought about by the advancement wasn't that obvious.
Similarly, he was receiving the 'void strength transfer' of that expert at the time, and a large amount of high-quality energy entered his body. Therefore, the increase in his true qi was also inconspicuous.
The only difference was his constitution. His constitution had already reached the peak.
Yesterday, when he received the strength transfer, he broke through from the fourth dantian to the seventh dantian, and his constitution kept getting stronger. Now that he had broken through to the eighth dantian, Song Shuhang's body finally broke through the bottleneck, and his body was slowly but firmly transforming into that of a cultivator of the Third Stage.
...
...
"It's coming!" Song Shuhang said in a soft voice as he tightly grasped his treasured saber.
The sky above the valley was suddenly covered with dark clouds, covering the moon and the stars.
Soon after, arcs of lightning started to flicker in the dark clouds.
At the same time, the entire valley was shrouded by the power of the heavenly tribulation. At this time, if an ordinary person were to look at the valley through various devices, they would discover that it was shrouded in a layer of dense fog, making it impossible to see anything.
This was the effect of the heavenly tribulation, and it ensured that the scene of a cultivator transcending the tribulation wouldn't be noticed by ordinary people.
This scene was very similar to the scene that Song Shuhang had seen several months ago in the bookstore outside the school when Su Clan's Shiliu was transcending the tribulation. Of course, the scene of Shiliu's tribulation at that time was even grander.
When Shiliu failed to transcend the tribulation, he was protected by Senior Seven, a Fifth Stage Spiritual Emperor with unparalleled combat power. In the end, Senior Seven directly dispersed the heavenly tribulation and saved Shiliu.
As for Song Shuhang, he only had Yu Jiaojiao by his side. Yu Jiaojiao herself had advanced to the Fourth Stage not too long ago … Song Shuhang wondered if she had the strength to disperse the heavenly tribulation of the Second Stage.
Speaking of which … the Frenzied Strength Imparter Daoist Priest Horizon was also in the villa. Unfortunately, for some reason, Daoist Priest Horizon didn't follow them.
Of course, it was impossible for Daoist Priest Horizon to follow them. The current Daoist Priest didn't even have enough time to hide from the heavenly tribulation, so how could he come over and touch it?
If he came over and Song Shuhang's heavenly tribulation triggered his own, then the heavenly tribulation of the Second Stage plus the heavenly tribulation of the Fifth Stage would turn both Song Shuhang and Daoist Priest Horizon into ashes.
...
...
As the heavenly tribulation took shape, Yu Jiaojiao quickly retreated, staying far away from Song Shuhang so as to avoid being affected by the heavenly tribulation.
"Rumble!"
A bolt of golden lightning broke through the clouds and struck the ground.
The residents of Honghe Town of the Jiangnan district were scared awake by the loud sound of thunder.
Many people raised their heads in confusion and looked into the distance.
They could only see the dense thunderclouds in the distant mountain valley.
Is there going to be a thunderstorm? The people of Honghe Town thought to themselves.
...
...
"Rumble ~"
The golden lightning of the heavenly tribulation descended and struck Song Shuhang.
"Jiaojiao, didn't you say that the first wave of the heavenly tribulation of the Second Stage would only have one lightning bolt?" Song Shuhang looked at the lightning that was striking him, his eyes slightly wet.
The first wave of the lightning of the heavenly tribulation that was striking him was' buy one get nine free '— ten lightning bolts crazily struck him.
The lightning of the heavenly tribulation was different from ordinary lightning — it had to accumulate power first. When a cultivator transcended the tribulation, they had to grasp the process of accumulating power and choose the appropriate method to deal with it. Experienced cultivators could guess what kind of heavenly tribulation it was the moment they saw it brewing in the tribulation clouds.
Song Shuhang didn't have this kind of experience. Before the heavenly tribulation took shape, he had been preparing his strongest defensive saber technique — Inverted Scale Saber Technique, Inverted Scale Style!
The moment the heavenly tribulation descended, Song Shuhang brandished his saber.
The 'Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Innate True Qi 'around his body gushed out and transformed into the Inverted Scale Saber energy. The treasured saber Broken Tyrant drew an arc and condensed the strongest defensive technique, [Inverted Scale].
"Boom, boom, boom, boom ~"
The ten lightning bolts of the heavenly tribulation continuously struck the defensive saber energy formed by the 'Inverted Scale Style'. The power of the lightning was so great that it made his arm numb.
The lightning of the heavenly tribulation engulfed Song Shuhang.
However... Song Shuhang, who was in the middle of the heavenly tribulation, blinked his eyes in confusion.
He used all his strength to raise his saber and block the heavenly tribulation. Although the heavenly tribulation looked powerful, it didn't seem to be as frightening as he had imagined.
The ten lightning bolts of the heavenly tribulation couldn't break the defense of his [Inverted Scale Saber Energy]. At most, his arm was numb.
Song Shuhang had a feeling that he didn't even need to use his saber at this time. He only needed to operate the [Steel Hands Technique] and he would be able to destroy the ten lightning bolts with his bare hands.
Easy, too easy!
If the heavenly tribulation only had this kind of power... he wouldn't be afraid even if it was ten times stronger!
"Bang, bang, bang, bang ~" The first wave of ten lightning bolts of the heavenly tribulation was completely blocked by Song Shuhang.
In the sky, the tribulation clouds retracted, and arcs of lightning crackled. The second wave of the heavenly tribulation was brewing.
...
...
After a few breaths, the second wave of the heavenly tribulation began.
It was the same rumbling sound.
This time, the number of lightning bolts of the heavenly tribulation was one less than the first wave. There were only nine of them!
Moreover, each of the lightning bolts was thinner than the first, and their power was clearly weaker.
Wasn't it said that the first wave of the heavenly tribulation would be stronger than the last?
Why did my heavenly tribulation look weaker?
However, Song Shuhang was a cautious person — no matter how weak it looked, it was still a heavenly tribulation.
Even if it looked weaker than the last wave, he definitely wouldn't underestimate it.
The treasured saber Broken Tyrant in his hand waved again. It was still the strongest defensive saber — [Inverted Scale Saber Technique], Inverted Scale Style!
The saber light turned and transformed into the [Inverted Scale Saber Energy] to protect his body.
"Bang, bang, bang."
The nine lightning bolts of the heavenly tribulation fell. Just like the last time, they couldn't break through Song Shuhang's saber energy defense. Song Shuhang used the [Inverted Scale Saber Technique] and blocked all the lightning bolts.
It was extremely easy.
The second wave of the heavenly tribulation ended just like that. The tribulation clouds in the sky retracted, and arcs of lightning crackled as the next wave of the heavenly tribulation was brewing.
"It's not an illusion. It really is weaker than the first wave." Song Shuhang waved his hand. The second wave of the heavenly tribulation was weaker than the first wave in both strength and power.
Song Shuhang curiously turned his head and looked at Yu Jiaojiao in the distance.
At this time, Yu Jiaojiao's adorable little eyes were wide open, and she had a dumbfounded expression — she had never seen a heavenly tribulation like this before. Each wave was weaker than the previous one?
The reverse of the heavenly tribulation?
From the looks of it, he wouldn't be able to get an explanation from Yu Jiaojiao. Song Shuhang took a deep breath and continued to adjust his condition to its peak, preparing to charge the [Inverted Scale Style].
Then … the third wave of the heavenly tribulation fell.
This time, there were only eight lightning bolts, which was weaker than the second wave.
Song Shuhang brandished his saber and used the [Inverted Scale Style] again, easily blocking it.
A moment later … the fourth wave of the heavenly tribulation fell.
This time, there were only seven lightning bolts, which was also weaker than the previous wave.
Song Shuhang maintained his vigilance and used the [Inverted Scale Style] to block the heavenly tribulation.
Then … the fifth wave of the heavenly tribulation fell.
The fifth wave of the heavenly tribulation had one lightning bolt reduced, and there were only six lightning bolts, which was even weaker than the previous wave.
Song Shuhang gritted his teeth and used the [Inverted Scale Style] to block the heavenly tribulation.
[Is each wave really weaker than the previous one? Could it be that my tribulation really is the reverse of the previous one?] Song Shuhang was puzzled.
In the blink of an eye, five of the ten waves of the heavenly tribulation had passed.
There was still half of the heavenly tribulation left.
If he were to continue like this, he would be able to easily transcend the heavenly tribulation with each wave being weaker than the previous one. By then, he would be able to easily transcend the tribulation using the Inverted Scale Style.
… …
… …
In the sky, the tribulation clouds gathered once more, and the sixth wave of the heavenly tribulation took shape.
Just like before, the tribulation lightning this time was reduced by one, leaving only 5 tribulation lightning bolts.
Moreover, the tribulation lightning was thinner than the previous wave.
"[Inverted Scale Style]!" Song Shuhang continued to brandish the treasured saber Broken Tyrant, slashing out with his strongest defense.
[Inverted Scale Style]'s saber qi enveloped his entire body.
In the sky, the five lightning bolts fell one after another.
One bolt, two bolts, three bolts, four bolts … each one was so weak that it couldn't break through his defense at all!
"Now, I can prepare for the next wave of the heavenly tribulation," Song Shuhang thought to himself as he continued to use the [Inverted Scale Style] to block the fifth lightning bolt.
Right at this moment … Boom!
A terrifying explosion sounded.
When the fifth lightning bolt landed on Song Shuhang's defense, it suddenly transformed into a lightning dragon baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.
The lightning dragon was vivid and lifelike, and even its scales and whiskers could be seen.
The lightning dragon contained the power to destroy everything, and it fiercely smashed towards Qin Lie.
Upon contact, Song Shuhang's [Inverted Scale Style] saber qi shattered.
The defense on Song Shuhang's emerald kasaya automatically activated, putting up a defense at the peak of the Second Stage to block the lightning dragon.
However, the kasaya's defense only lasted for a single breath of time.
The lightning dragon's horn smashed into the kasaya's defense, shattering it.
"Motherf * cker!" Song Shuhang bellowed. His heavenly tribulation was actually playing tricks.
In order to show weakness, it used 5.8 waves of tribulation lightning to show weakness, and hid its killer move in the last strike of the sixth wave.
It was only a Second Stage cultivator's heavenly tribulation, yet it was playing tricks?
"Roar ~" The lightning dragon let out a lifelike roar.
Song Shuhang clenched his teeth and brandished his fists.
He spun the [Immovable Body of the Buddha].
He used the [Steel Hands Technique].
He used the [Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Technique] with all his might.
The layer of light of virtue on his body lit up.
He used the first style of the [Basic Buddhist Fist Technique]. His fists were like heavy cannons, pressing forward with great force and momentum!
Song Shuhang's fists ruthlessly smashed into the lightning dragon.
The lightning dragon and his fists collided and exploded!
Boom, boom, boom, boom.
