Chapter 469: Chapter 166 Hidden Truths
One must know that the formation was a Fourth Rank Formation.
It was specifically designed for use against Nascent Soul Cultivators, and although it might not have been perfect due to the materials used, it was not far off from a true Fourth Rank Formation.
Unexpectedly, under the assault of the red tribulation lightning, it failed to last even a single breath.
After the formation shattered, the red tribulation lightning struck down towards Lin Jing’s head without any impediment.
Lin Jing hurriedly circulated his Overlord Divine Physique, intensifying the golden radiance around him, doing his utmost to resist the descending red tribulation lightning.
This bolt of red tribulation lightning persisted for a full three breaths before it finally dissipated.
Once the tribulation lightning had vanished, the mountain peak where Lin Jing stood had been sheared off substantially, and the originally red mountaintop had turned even more crimson.
This was because even the rocks themselves had been melted by the tribulation lightning, transforming into glowing red magma.
At this point, to withstand that first bolt of tribulation lightning, Lin Jing had used up quite a bit of spiritual power.
So, Lin Jing quickly took out a flawless Yellow Dragon Elixir from his space ring and swallowed it.
After swallowing it, a warm current created by the elixir’s liquid flowed down into Lin Jing’s abdomen.
Lin Jing then took this opportunity to quickly sit down cross-legged.
Hoping to recover as much as possible.
…
…
But not much time had passed, and Lin Jing had not yet fully recovered when,
he sensed a rumbling within the tribulation clouds above, a sign that the next bolt of tribulation lightning was about to strike.
Consequently, Lin Jing got to his feet, his eyes fixed on the clouds above, ready to face the fifth bolt of tribulation lightning.
“Boom!”
The fifth bolt of tribulation lightning arrived just as Lin Jing had anticipated, right on schedule.
Fortunately, Lin Jing was already well-prepared.
This fifth bolt was strong but could not truly harm Lin Jing.
After the fifth bolt had passed,
the sixth bolt of tribulation lightning followed in quick succession…
The sixth bolt caused Lin Jing some injuries.
Afterwards,
Lin Jing took out another flawless healing pill, the Huansheng Elixir, from his space ring and swallowed it.
After taking the Huansheng Elixir, Lin Jing swiftly sat down cross-legged again, ready to recover…
However, just as Lin Jing had sat down cross-legged,
the color of the tribulation lightning in the sky changed once more.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
From red to purple.
And this time, the lightning came swiftly.
Just as Lin Jing had sat down and began his practice, not even completing two cycles, the seventh bolt of purple tribulation lightning struck.
This seventh bolt was utterly sudden,
giving Lin Jing no time to react, and there had been no warning at all beforehand.
When the hundred-zhang-thick purple tribulation lightning cleared, it revealed Lin Jing, who had been struck until his flesh was lacerated and his skin split open.
Moreover, over Lin Jing’s wounds, purple arcs of lightning scurried incessantly, continuously damaging the wounds to prevent them from healing.
Thankfully, Lin Jing’s Overlord Divine Physique healed at an astonishing rate. Although the purple arcs were destroying it, his skin still rapidly restored to its original state.
Next, Lin Jing swallowed another Yellow Dragon Elixir and a Huansheng Elixir.
Preparing for the upcoming eighth bolt of tribulation lightning.
At that moment, Lin Jing also brought out the shield he had obtained from the Puppet Guild Leader, rotating it around himself.
This eighth bolt of tribulation lightning took quite a while to gather.
However, the longer the lightning charged, the more powerful it became.
As the eighth bolt of tribulation lightning descended, it was still a column of purple lightning, but now accompanied by black arcs of lightning that twirled around it.
After the eighth bolt of lightning struck,
Lin Jing swiftly brought out the shield to defend.
However, the shield lasted only a single breath before it was shattered by the tribulation lightning.
Then, unimpeded, the lightning bore down on Lin Jing.
With time ticking away gradually.
The eighth tribulation thunder showed no signs of dissipating.
One breath…
Two breaths…
Three breaths…
…
…
Just like that, a full six breaths passed.
Only then did the eighth tribulation thunder completely scatter.
After the tribulation thunder had dissipated, upon looking at Lin Jing, one could see he was charred all over, almost beyond recognition as a human.
Most of the flesh on Lin Jing’s body had also been melted by the thunder.
At this moment, one could even peer through the charred flesh and see Lin Jing’s heart, weakly pulsating.
Moreover, there were black arcs of lightning traveling incessantly across Lin Jing’s body, causing the already charred wounds on his body to crack and reveal the red flesh underneath.
By this time, the mountain peak where Lin Jing had been standing had long since disappeared, leaving behind only a deep pit.
It was at this moment…
A tremendously strong divine sense swept over the area.
Then, a figure suddenly appeared near the mountain range.
Without using any magical treasures, he stood in midair, his expression cold, but when he looked toward Lin Jing at the center of the tribulation clouds, his eyes filled with concern.
Immediately after, he took a step forward and vanished in an instant, appearing next to the blue-robed cultivator and several others when he re-emerged.
The blue-robed cultivator, seeing the newcomer, quickly bowed his head and cupped his hands, saying:
“Xu Daoyou…”
“Senior Xu…”
It turned out that this individual was none other than Xu Ye, who had just completed his tribulation and successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage.
Xu Ye nodded slightly at him, then asked the blue-robed cultivator:
“Which tribulation thunder is Lin Daoyou currently facing?”
The blue-robed cultivator was somewhat nervous, and he quickly responded:
“Back…back to Senior Xu…
“Lin Daoyou has just passed the eighth tribulation thunder, and now there’s only the last one left.”
Xu Ye looked at him, his brow furrowing slightly, assuming it was the imposing aura he couldn’t quite conceal after his own tribulation that was making the cultivator nervous.
Shortly after, Xu Ye didn’t think much of it and turned his attention back to Lin Jing at the center of the tribulation clouds.
The tribulation clouds in the sky were still brewing the final thunder.
As for Lin Jing, he was rapidly self-recovering at the moment.
The potent medicinal power of the Wugou Huan Sheng Elixir, coupled with the abnormally powerful self-healing ability of the Overlord Divine Physique Lin Jing had cultivated,
took just a few breaths for Lin Jing’s charred flesh to fall off on its own, and for new flesh to quickly regenerate at a pace visible to the naked eye…
Just as Lin Jing was healing, a few more people flew in this direction.
These individuals were none other than the Wu surnamed cultivators who had been Xu Ye’s protectors.
After Wu and the others arrived,
they greeted Xu Ye and proceeded to question the blue-robed cultivator about the situation.
The blue-robed cultivator answered, but his responses were hesitant.
It seemed as if there was something he was concealing.
Wu looked at the blue-robed cultivator, whose gaze, however, was somewhat evasive.
Even the other cultivators standing by the blue-robed cultivator turned their heads aside, as if they had done something wrong.
Some even sneakily glanced at Lin Jing.
Having lived for hundreds of years, Wu, well-versed in the ways of the world,
could not help but realize that there must be some hidden matters.
Then, Wu’s expression darkened as he said to the blue-robed cultivator:
“Qu Daoyou…”
“You and I have known each other for a long while. Speak plainly if there is a hidden matter, for if you wait until Elder Lin has finished the tribulation to tell us, it will be too late…”
