Boom, boom, boom, boom …
Above the boundless sea, under the black tribulation clouds, three-colored Five Elements Tribulation Lightning struck Ling Yun's body one after another, carrying with it the terrifying pressure of the Heavenly Dao!
Ling Yun was struck into the deep sea by the tri-colored tribulation lightning again and again, but he rose again and again. Even though his body was suffering from purgatory-like torment, his eyes became more and more determined, and his gaze became brighter and brighter. He pursed his lips tightly and proudly resisted the majestic power of the heavens!
However, this third wave of tribulation lightning lasted for too long. It had already exceeded the combined duration of the previous two waves. This was draining Ling Yun's physical strength and Divine Energy!
One had to be able to withstand the bombardment of the tribulation lightning, but another important point was that one had to have sufficient physical strength and Divine Energy!
Otherwise, if the Divine Energy in the Sea of Consciousness between your eyebrows was gone after more than half of the tribulation, which meant that the cultivator couldn't use spiritual energy anymore, wouldn't that mean that the cultivator would be bombarded by the tribulation lightning?
Not to mention more than half of the tribulation, even if there was only one more bolt of tribulation lightning without spiritual energy, it was very likely that he would be struck to death instantly!
Unable to withstand the last bolt of tribulation lightning was no different from not being able to withstand the first bolt of tribulation lightning. The outcome was the same — death!
However, what made Ling Yun gratified was that even though he faced the extremely terrifying Five Elements Tribulation lightning, which was far stronger than the strongest tribulation lightning that ordinary cultivators had to endure, he was still able to withstand it!
Of course, this was related to his current strength, because he was in the middle stage of the fifth stage of Qi Disciple. If he had broken through to the fourth stage of Qi Disciple, he definitely wouldn't have been able to withstand the tribulation by himself.
Therefore, Ling Yun was very glad that he returned to Qingshui City and chose the right place to break through. Relying on the Yin-Yang Qi of the Yin Yang Formation, he broke through to the mid-stage of Qi Cultivation Stage Five in one go. Otherwise, his tribulation this time would have been a hundred times more difficult!
What was even more fortunate was that every time he survived a wave of lightning, his physical body and sea of consciousness would be strengthened after being tempered by the lightning. It was just enough for him to withstand the next wave of lightning. Even though it was very difficult and he had to endure a great deal of pain, he was still able to withstand it!
Moreover, even though Ling Yun's Divine Energy consumption was huge, he could now condense 3,600 drops of Divine Energy in an hour. Even though the amount of Divine Energy consumed was far greater than the amount of Divine Energy condensed, it could still be replenished. This gave him a lot more confidence.
Ling Yun soared through the sky. He sped towards the east, leaving this region of the sea for Ye Xingchen to safely emerge from the surface of the sea.
"Fortunately, I was decisive enough to open up the lightning pool. Otherwise, no matter how heaven-defying my physique is, I would only be able to absorb a small portion of the tribulation lightning energy. The rest would be wasted …"
Ling Yun muttered to himself. At this moment, his hands didn't stop moving. He continued waving his blade, and the power of the Blood Transformation Blade was finally on display. It was actually able to shatter the various weapons formed by the metal tribulation lightning energy. All of them were dispersed and absorbed by Ling Yun continuously.
With the metal tribulation lightning energy entering his body, Ling Yun's Golden Dragon Spear became even stronger. Especially on his back, the golden spine was simply too strong. The entire spine was filled with the purest golden tribulation lightning energy. It emitted a dazzling golden light that illuminated heaven and earth!
At this moment, in Ling Yun's energy center, the golden dragon-shaped curve was practically swallowing it. It loved the golden tribulation lightning energy the most, and it was practically robbing it!
Now, Ling Yun's Yin Yang Five Elemental Flames had five different attributes. The four attributes of water, fire, wood, and metal had all been strengthened to the same extent. The size of the four colors of the flames was more than five times larger than before!
Just by looking at the color of the flames, one could tell that they were purer and stronger than the original five elemental flames!
These were the benefits of the tribulation. They could help Ling Yun forge an unparalleled Dao foundation. Of course, the prerequisite was that he could successfully pass the tribulation.
The third wave of tribulation lightning lasted for a whole hour. Just as Ling Yun was waving the Blood Transformation Blade and his body was about to go numb, the last bolt of tribulation lightning struck him and sent him into the sea. Then, the third wave of tribulation lightning ended.
"The metal tribulation lightning is really too terrifying. I almost couldn't take it!"
Ling Yun rushed up from the sea. He was breathing heavily and grimacing in pain. One was because he was tired, and the other was because he was in pain.
In the third wave of tribulation lightning, Ling Yun was bathed in blood. His skin and flesh were lacerated by the weapons formed by the golden tribulation lightning energy. Other than his spine, there was almost no part of his body that was unharmed.
Among them, Ling Yun's arms, thighs, and even his chest had many penetrating wounds. They were all caused by swords and spears.
This was because after each bolt of tribulation lightning, the green wood lightning would first imprison his body. At that moment, Ling Yun couldn't use his blade to defend himself, so he was naturally injured by the golden tribulation lightning.
Of course, Ling Yun used his spiritual energy to protect the vital parts of his body. As time passed, Ling Yun gradually adapted to the tri-colored tribulation lightning. Only then did he feel much more at ease. Apart from being burned by the heavenly fire, he didn't suffer many injuries in the later stages.
At this time, Ye Xingchen had already rushed out of the sea. She stood in the air outside the black tribulation cloud and gazed at Ling Yun from afar. Her beautiful eyes were filled with endless worry because she had never seen Ling Yun so seriously injured!
It was too terrifying. Ye Xingchen had a rough idea of how powerful Ling Yun was after his breakthrough. How powerful must the tribulation lightning be to injure Ling Yun like this?!
"Don't worry, Xingchen. I'm fine."
Ling Yun grimaced in pain, seizing the opportunity to heal himself. His divine sense was now seven thousand meters away, so he could naturally see Ye Xingchen's worry. He didn't forget to send a telepathic message to comfort her.
After using dozens of Level Seven Healing Talismans to heal all the wounds on his body, Ling Yun was no longer in pain. Only then did he prepare for the fourth wave of tribulation lightning.
Under normal circumstances, the Four Nine Minor Tribulation would only have four waves of tribulation lightning. However, Ling Yun knew that his tribulation had never been normal. This time, he estimated that there would be five waves of tribulation lightning.
Because the third wave of tribulation lightning had three elements, the fourth wave of tribulation lightning would definitely be a combination of four of the five elements. It would be strange if there wasn't a combination of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth in the end.
"Metal, fire, wood …"
Ling Yun guessed inwardly, trying to determine whether the fourth wave of tribulation lightning would be of the earth or water element. However, this was completely useless because tribulation lightning couldn't be predicted at all.
"I probably won't be able to withstand the fourth wave of tribulation lightning. I have to be extra careful!"
Ling Yun raised his eyes and felt the increasingly terrifying pressure of the Heavenly Dao. His heart trembled as he reminded himself.
Buzz!
In the next moment, Ling Yun took out the Shennong Cauldron and activated it with his powerful divine sense. The mouth of the cauldron hovered above his head.
The eyes of the youth below the Shennong Cauldron were clear and resolute. He held the Blood Dissipating Divine Saber, and his body emitted a blazing golden light. The Golden Dragon Spear spun rapidly around him. He was fully prepared!
Ling Yun had a hundred times more confidence in the Shennong Cauldron! Moreover, there were still more than seventy thousand drops of Divine Energy in the sea of consciousness between Ling Yun's eyebrows, enough for him to use.
Rumble …
Thunder boomed from the black tribulation clouds in the sky. The fourth wave of tribulation lightning was about to begin!
At the same time, as if responding to the black tribulation cloud, the originally calm sea suddenly swept up a gust of wind. The sea instantly became turbulent, and huge waves rushed up dozens of meters high!
Crack!
The first wave of tribulation lightning fell. It was indeed four-colored tribulation lightning — gold, crimson red, green, and even blue!
"Metal, wood, water, and fire!"
Ling Yun's pupils shrank as he swung his saber!
Buzz!
The Shennong Cauldron buzzed and helped Ling Yun block the first wave of tribulation lightning. However, it only blocked seventy percent of the lightning. That was because the lightning pillar was only the surface. The real impact was the energy of the tribulation lightning, which would directly affect Ling Yun's body.
Of course, it wasn't just the Shennong Cauldron. Ling Yun didn't withdraw his Ghost Divine Willow after he took it out. The Ghost Divine Willow was also helping him absorb the green energy of the wood element tribulation lightning.
With these two assistance, the pressure on Ling Yun was naturally reduced. He swung his saber calmly and continued to use the same method he used in the third wave of tribulation lightning to destroy the metal element tribulation lightning while resisting the water element tribulation lightning around his body!
The four-colored tribulation lightning was too terrifying. There were too many variations, and it was in line with the rules of the Heavenly Dao. Even though Ling Yun was high up in the sky, waves within a thousand meters of the sea below him rose directly from the surface and enveloped Ling Yun!
Boom!
Then, the second wave of tribulation lightning fell!
Ling Yun saw it clearly in his busy schedule. He was shocked because this time, it was still a four-colored lightning tribulation, but the combination of colors was different!
There was less blue, and more yellow!
The earth element tribulation lightning had finally arrived!
"Metal, fire, wood, and earth!"
"Kacha!"
The four-colored tribulation lightning struck Ling Yun once again, sending him flying through the layers of water walls. Ling Yun vomited blood!
Then, hard yellow soil suddenly appeared in the blue seawater. This was the transformation of the earth element tribulation lightning. It directly enveloped Ling Yun, completely immobilizing him!
Ling Yun gritted his teeth. He was shocked. Even though the fourth wave of tribulation lightning was still a four-colored tribulation lightning, it was no longer a fixed combination. Instead, it was a random combination of four types of tribulation lightning!
"Four out of five, a total of five combinations!"
This was the Five Elements tribulation lightning. The fourth wave was too terrifying!
Of course, this made Ling Yun's next tribulation much more difficult!
However, Ling Yun still gritted his teeth and endured. He didn't have time to think too much at this moment. He directly burned his Divine Energy to the limit and used the Yellow Springs Earth Emperor Technique!
"Open for me!"
In an instant, the energy of the earth element tribulation lightning that confined Ling Yun's body was broken by him. He waved the Blood Transformation Sword, first breaking the dual restraints of the earth and earth element tribulation lightning to restore his mobility. Then, he waved the sword to block the various energy weapons formed by the golden tribulation lightning.
Of course, Ling Yun wasn't one to be trifled with. At the same time, he used his Divine Will to move the Golden Dragon Spear rapidly, constantly breaking the restraints of the earth and earth element energy!
"Come on!"
Even though it was incomparably difficult, Ling Yun's confidence increased after blocking the first two waves of tribulation lightning. He began to face the four-colored tribulation lightning!
Difficult and arduous, jade and jade were formed!
