188: Tiangang spirit, thunder is coming

Time flew by.

The time spent traveling passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, more than twenty days had gone by.

Over these past twenty-odd days, Lu Chen's Body Refinement cultivation once again surged.

The reason was that all the Divine Travel Dao Soldiers he had previously nurtured were completed, including the nineteen Five Elements Dao Soldiers of the Heavenly Pride Yin Gods from Zhao Country and Jiaoren Country that he had previously devoured, which had also advanced to Divine Travel.

However, those nineteen Spirit Treasure Dao Soldiers were still growing and had not been fully nurtured yet.

But those four Wind and Thunder Dao Soldiers were completed.

One was Qian Changsheng's Spirit God Dao Soldier, which had devoured a Yang Spirit Great Demon from the Piercing Void Clan. One was Sword Lord's celestial treasure Dao Soldier, which had devoured a Yang God Old Mountain Lord. And there were also two ordinary Divine Travel Dao Soldiers, which, after devouring two Flood Dragon Yang Spirit Great Demons, had transformed into special Dao Soldiers that could turn into Flood Dragons.

By now, Lu Chen already possessed six Wind and Thunder Dao Soldiers. The strongest were naturally the 'Mixed Gold Shattering Hammer', the 'Dividing Light Immortal Slaying Sword', and the 'Spirit God'—these three Spirit Treasure Dao Soldiers. The former two could transform into Spirit Treasures and unleash complete Divine Powers, making them, if not invincible, at least among the top-tier existences in the Yang Spirit Realm.

Although the latter 'Spirit God' Dao Soldier was only a small part of Qian Changsheng's Spirit Treasure, it could still split off a Spirit God. One Wind and Thunder Dao Soldier could be used as two. Moreover, this Dao Soldier had fused with a Yang Spirit Great Demon from the Piercing Void Clan, gaining the characteristic of Going Through Void, coming and going without a trace, making it excellent for sneak attacks.

As for the last two Dao Soldiers that had fused with two Yang God Old Flood Dragons, their strength would also be very strong. After all, they possessed the Dragon Bloodline, the nobility of the Demon Clan. Even if they couldn't compare to the Yang God Realm Heavenly Pride born alongside Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasures, they could absolutely fight one-on-one with give and take.

Furthermore, one of the Old Flood Dragons was a four-tribulation Yang God. The Wind and Thunder Dao Soldier that fused with this Old Flood Dragon had at least the strength of a four-tribulation Yang God, making it no problem to fight a regular five-tribulation Yang God.

After a few more days, Lu Chen once again felt the vast feedback force coming from the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin.

“Nineteen Spirit Treasure Swift Travel Dao Soldiers are completed!”

In an instant, his Body Refinement strength surged, and thunder suddenly roared in the sky, with black clouds covering the top.

“My Body Refinement cultivation is about to break through to the Yang God Realm!” Lu Chen's heart was startled, and he suddenly looked up at the sky.

Because the Lightning Tribulation had arrived.

Although the path of Body Refinement is different from the path of Qi Refinement and does not cultivate the Yin God, when the Blood Qi Spirit God steps into the Yang God level, it still needs to undergo the baptism of a Lightning Tribulation. Only then can his Blood Qi Spirit God smoothly enter the Yang God level.

If this were before he left the Sect, no matter how much feedback he received from the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin, it would be impossible for his Body Refinement cultivation to break through to the Yang God level.

Because breaking through to Yang God requires comprehending rules. Otherwise, if the Divine Soul is insufficient, strength will be hindered. If he forcefully breaks through, his powerful Physical Body and Blood Qi will instead harm his own Divine Soul, or even cause his Divine Soul to dissipate.

But now, Lu Chen had already comprehended Five Elements, Wind and Thunder, a total of seven great rules.

And soon, he would also comprehend the rules of the Sword Dao and the Void, a total of nine great rules. Breaking through to Yang God in Body Refinement was completely within his grasp.

“Should I break through and undergo the tribulation?!” In an instant, Lu Chen fell into hesitation.

But the hesitation lasted only for a moment before Lu Chen became calm.

He had even experienced the 'Heavenly Intent Dao Tribulation', so what could a mere ordinary Lightning Tribulation do to him!

He was determined to overcome this Lightning Tribulation!

Although he wasn't prepared and didn't have Sect Elders or Protectors to assist him, he had absolute certainty that he could easily pass this Lightning Tribulation.

Firstly, he had mastered the rules of thunder. He was naturally close to Lightning Tribulations and could even refine the tribulation lightning for his own use. Although the tribulation lightning had the will of Heaven and Earth mixed in and was not greatly affected by the rules of thunder, it still had some effect.

At least his success rate in undergoing the tribulation was three tenths higher than that of cultivators who hadn't mastered the rules of thunder.

Secondly, this was a normal Lightning Tribulation, not the insane tribulation punishment like the Heavenly Intent Dao Tribulation, which would ignore the Physical Body, ignore all defenses, and directly strike the Dao Embryo within the Jiangong Golden Citadel. Nor would there be Profound Nether Earth Fire burning him or strange winds from Heaven and Earth blowing at him.

A Lightning Tribulation is just a Lightning Tribulation. Only tribulation lightning strikes down, and this kind of tribulation lightning can be blocked by Formations and also by defensive magical treasures. As long as there is no external help, it will not trigger a more terrifying Lightning Tribulation.

External forces are within the rules allowed by Heaven and Earth.

And Lu Chen was equipped with heavy treasures, and almost all of them were defensive heavy treasures. For example, the 'dongming treasure crown' he wore on his head could not be broken by anyone less than a top-tier Yang God. The 'pure yang golden crow treasure robe' he wore was impervious to water and fire and unaffected by all techniques, unbreakable by anyone less than the peak among Yang Gods.

Although the Flying Immortal Seal was not a defensive heavy treasure, it was still a heavy treasure. Simply throwing it out could clash head-on with the Lightning Tribulation, and weakening the power of the Lightning Tribulation was not a problem.

In addition, he also had a life-saving pill, the 'returning immortal treasure pill'. As long as his Divine Soul wasn't completely annihilated, it could save his life, making him instantly full of vigor, equivalent to having an extra life.

These were all gifts from the Sect Elders before. It was no exaggeration to say that at this moment, Lu Chen was fully equipped with divine gear, plus celestial pills to prolong his life.

Even if he hadn't mastered the rules of thunder, with this divine gear and celestial pills, the success rate of this Lightning Tribulation should be ninety-eight percent.

Finally, he had his companion Spirit Treasure, the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin.

You say the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin is used to nurture Dao Soldiers and cannot withstand tribulation lightning?

Then what about the Dao Soldiers inside?

These are not external forces; they are part of his own strength and can appear under the Lightning Tribulation without causing the tribulation to become more terrifying.

And his Dao Soldiers are neither alive nor dead. The Wind and Thunder Dao Soldiers have all mastered the rules of Wind and Thunder, so devouring a Lightning Tribulation is effortless.

No matter how strong your Heavenly Tribulation is, it's still a Lightning Tribulation for the Yin God advancing to Yang God. It can't possibly strike dead Wind and Thunder Dao Soldiers comparable to four-tribulation Yang Gods, right?

Therefore, a mere Lightning Tribulation was within his grasp!

Lu Chen no longer hesitated, and his entire body's Blood Qi immediately erupted, revealing a vast Blood Qi Spirit God exactly like Lu Chen, over ten feet tall, majestic and awe-inspiring, making it difficult to look at directly. Even Feng Jie's mysterious Divine Hall seemed to ripple slightly.

The scorching Blood Qi, even without spreading, was like a great sun burning everything, astonishingly extraordinary.

Even more astonishing was that this Blood Qi Spirit God was still continuously growing stronger, stronger, and stronger, already showing signs of transforming into a 'heavenly Gang divine spirit' comparable to a Qi Refinement Yang God.

What was particularly noticeable was that the rolling thunder in the sky seemed to be faintly entwining with the terrifying Blood Qi Spirit God behind Lu Chen. In short, it had been locked onto by the Lightning Tribulation.

“Blood Qi Spirit God?!” Pang Feifeng and Chu Xianyin simultaneously widened their eyes.

This Sixth Brother...

So he wasn't in the Dao Embryo realm all along. He was originally a great cultivator who had cultivated a Blood Qi Spirit God, comparable to a Yin God, and was even about to advance to Yang God!

He could even hide this?!

“A great Body Refinement cultivator, about to become a heavenly Gang divine spirit, he hid it so well!” Feng Jie's eyes flickered.

No wonder, no wonder when the Divine Spirit of his Divine Hall looked at Lu Chen, it always seemed as if there was a layer between them. So, this guy cultivated both Qi Refinement and Body Refinement!

Lu Chen instantly stood up and instructed the three, “I'm going to undergo a tribulation. You all stay here and don't move around.”

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly stopped and reminded them emphatically, “Remember not to reveal a single word, or don't blame me for turning hostile.”

His Body Refinement strength had never been exposed to the outside world before, and it was also one of his trump cards.

Now that the Lightning Tribulation had arrived, he couldn't hide it anymore. But as long as he used the characteristic of the Void-Piercing Wind Thunder Dao Soldier to go through Void and travel through the Void, and directly went outside the heavens to undergo the tribulation, no one would be able to discover his existence.

His Body Refinement strength could still remain an undetected trump card!
