378: Overcoming the Tribulation

In the vast and boundless Universe, Li Mu, like a shooting star, streaked across the dark starry sky, speeding towards that mysterious region.

His figure, illuminated by starlight, appeared exceptionally small, yet his presence could not be overlooked.

Finally, Li Mu arrived at a certain starry sky in the Universe.

He hovered in the Void Realm, surrounded by endless stars and immense cosmic energy.

Li Mu first arranged dozens of Formation Plates, forming a circle with himself at the center.

He took a deep breath, pulled out a Tribulation-Undergoing Pill from his embrace, and swallowed it without hesitation.

In an instant, a powerful force erupted within his body.

His body emitted dazzling light, as if merging with the Universe.

Immediately after, dark clouds gathered in the sky, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and the strongest Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulation descended.

Thick bolts of lightning, like giant Dragons, snaked downwards, surging towards Li Mu.

He showed no fear, waving his hands and unleashing powerful Spells to contend with the lightning.

The dozens of Formation Plates surrounding him also activated their Formations with the excitation of Spiritual Qi, the ten Formation Plates complementing each other.

Each bolt of lightning contained destructive power, but Li Mu, relying on his strong will, extraordinary strength, and the help of the Formation Plates, withstood their attacks again and again.

During the process of Undergoing Tribulation, Li Mu's body was continuously struck by lightning; his clothes had long lost their original color and were tattered beyond recognition, his face was pale with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, but he grit his teeth and persevered.

Despite having the auxiliary defensive Formation Plates outside and the Tribulation-Undergoing Pill inside, Li Mu still felt immense pressure.

Each bolt of lightning struck him like a heavy hammer, causing him unbearable pain.

His skin was torn, blood continuously gushed out, mixing with sweat to form a crimson mess.

His hair was also scorched by the high temperature, emitting wisps of black smoke.

His body trembled, as if it could collapse at any moment.

In this endless torment, Li Mu was struck by lightning countless times; his clothes were already tattered, barely covering his private parts.

Under the terrifying power of the Heavenly Lightning, the surrounding stars also shattered one after another, turning into cosmic dust, which was enough to show how terrifying this Heavenly Lightning was.

If Li Mu hadn't been protected by the Formation and the Tribulation-Undergoing Pill, he would probably have turned into cosmic dust like these stars!

The defensive shield formed by the Formation Plates enveloped Li Mu, and every lightning bolt struck the shield, immediately erupting into arcs of lightning that filled the sky.

Although the defensive shield could withstand most of the Heavenly Lightning's power, some of the Heavenly Lightning's energy would still penetrate the shield and strike Li Mu's body.

With one attack after another, the first Formation Plate of the defensive Formation finally buckled under the pressure, emitting a faint "crack" sound, and ultimately shattered.

As more and more Heavenly Lightning was withstood, the second defensive Formation Plate shattered, then the third defensive Formation Plate, the fourth...

By the time the seventy-fifth bolt of Heavenly Lightning fell, only four defensive Formations remained standing.

Having continuously endured such powerful Heavenly Lightning, the Spiritual Qi of the entire star System was now completely chaotic.

Various mutually restraining Laws also frequently appeared, like the merging of water and fire, which was no longer considered strange here.

Even the space around Li Mu had begun to be covered with cracks.

Every time the Heavenly Lightning fell, space would crack open, and then begin to repair itself.

Next, it was the seventy-sixth bolt of Heavenly Lightning.

After the tribulation clouds had brewed, it was like a beam of light with a diameter of one meter, almost instantly hitting the defensive shield above Li Mu's head.

However, this time the Heavenly Lightning did not erupt into lightning arcs; instead, at the moment the light beam touched the defensive shield, countless dazzling lights burst forth, illuminating this entire dust-filled ruin, like a small sun.

Far away on Earth, an observer at the cosmic observatory happened to witness this scene.

"Supernova explosion?"

The observer was a bit confused: "But we didn't detect any supernova about to explode in this area before?"

"Isn't the energy of this explosion a bit too terrifying? The surrounding planets were all blown to pieces?"

At the same time, the United States also discovered this scene, and everyone began to report it upwards.

And at this moment, Li Mu, the protagonist everyone was focused on, had no time to pay attention to them.

After all, if he wasn't careful, he might die; focusing on Undergoing Tribulation was the Dao!

As time passed, the Heavenly Lightning had now reached its final bolt, and all his defensive Formation Plates had shattered.

Even his body had multiple scorched areas and large wounds, from which blood was still flowing.

Li Mu secretly thought, "Not good."

As expected, not long after, Li Mu felt a sharp pain, and his body trembled uncontrollably, almost collapsing.

He endured the pain, gritting his teeth and persisting.

The blood from the corner of his mouth dripped onto his body, staining his chest red, but he paid no attention to it at this moment.

At this moment, he had only one thought...

He must hold on!

At this critical moment, Li Mu could feel that he was just a tiny bit away from a Realm Breakthrough.

As long as he persisted a little longer, he believed he would definitely succeed.

He gritted his teeth, struggling to stay conscious, not allowing himself to be swallowed by pain and exhaustion.

At the same time, he seemed to enter a wonderful state, everything around him seemed to become quiet.

He felt as if he was in a vast, white place, without any interference or restraint.

In this strange environment, his originally restless heart gradually settled down, and his entire demeanor became more peaceful.

Meanwhile, as time went on, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation grew stronger, but Li Mu's resistance also grew more tenacious.

As the last bolt of Heavenly Tribulation fell, it caused little commotion, the Heavenly Lightning, like a tiny lightning snake, directly entered Li Mu's glabella.

Immediately after, the tribulation clouds dispersed, and this part of the Universe returned to peace.

However, the next second, Li Mu's body, without any warning, directly exploded into countless particles, and various Laws erupted from within him.

The powerful energy directly swept across the entire star System!

All the planets that were brushed by the energy of the Laws shattered into powder without any pause.

And at the same time, on Earth.

The entire planet began to tremble slightly, and the land began to expand at a visible rate at this moment.

The original small hills also transformed into towering peaks in just a few minutes.

The withered trees also regrew tender shoots, eventually becoming lush and verdant.

The entire Earth began to surge with a large amount of Spiritual Qi, and all living beings seemed to have undergone a sublimation at this moment.

Zhu Ping and others in the Special Affairs Handling Bureau frowned slightly: "The sudden increase in Spiritual Qi is a good thing, but why do I feel my power has weakened? Why has the destructive power decreased so much?"

Old Qin: "It's not that you've weakened, but that the entire world has been strengthened!"

Wu Ya also appeared in the Special Affairs Handling Bureau at this time, looking at the confused crowd, and laughed: "Li Mu has achieved Immortal Ascension!"

"What?"

Hearing this news, everyone's eyes widened in an instant.

Li Mu achieved Immortal Ascension so quickly?

His teammates were still only in the Refining Qi and Refining Qi and Transforming Spirit stages!

...

In the Universe, after the rampant Law energy swept through, these Laws began to converge again, finally gathering into a single point, and then Li Mu's figure re-emerged.

The re-formed Li Mu now looked no different from before Undergoing Tribulation.

However, just a first glance could give one a very special feeling.

It was that kind of illusion where, even though he was clearly right in front of you, you always felt he was infinitely far away.

Li Mu slowly opened his eyes; his body exuded a powerful aura, and his gaze was filled with confidence and joy.

He had successfully Undergone the strongest Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, becoming a...

Immortal.

Although he was currently only the weakest Earth Immortal, Li Mu was already very satisfied.

After all, how much time had passed since he transformed from an ordinary Mortal to an Immortal!

With the System, he would eventually be able to gather the past and future, becoming the sole Grand Unity.

As Li Mu successfully Underwent Tribulation, the wounds on his body gradually healed as before.

Li Mu felt the surging power within him, and he knew that he had been completely reborn.
