252: Crossing the Thunder Tribulation

The Yin God formed from the Immortal Embryo returned outside the tall tower once again.

He couldn't win, absolutely couldn't win.

Without the boost from his Physical Body, Lu Chen's strength was greatly weakened with just his Yin God!

Furthermore, these Yang God Heavenly Pride used their companion Spirit Treasure, allowing them to exhibit strength far exceeding those of the same Realm, while Lu Chen was merely in a Yin God state, a whole major Realm lower.

"If I can cultivate a complete offensive Divine Power, my Yin God might have the strength to battle across major Realms!"

Lu Chen concluded after a careful review.

The Yin God was a full major Realm lower than the Yang God. The key was that he was only in the Yin God state, lacking the Physical Body's boost. Even being an Immortal Embryo and mastering ten types of rules was not enough to bridge the gap of a major Realm. Therefore, to cross major Realms, he could only start with Divine Powers.

This was the fastest way to improve combat power.

Additionally, constantly losing on the second floor of the tall tower was not without gains. At least, Lu Chen had now completely consolidated the initial stage of the Yin God Realm and achieved thorough perfection.

He returned to his Physical Body and began cultivating with the netherworld spirit flower.

In a blink of an eye, a month had passed.

During this time, his Clone made further progress in the Divine Power Tenfold Spirit Body, cultivating a second and third Clone, which significantly accelerated Lu Chen's cultivation speed.

He had the second Clone discard everything and fully integrate its consciousness into the Dao Soldier to comprehend various rules.

It's worth mentioning that rules also have nine layers.

Currently, Lu Chen's Five Elements and Wind and Thunder seven rules were all at the second layer, while the Void, Saber, and Sword categories were only at the first layer. The second layer of rules was already sufficient to reach the peak of the Yang God.

His Wind and Thunder Dao Soldiers were naturally capable of controlling Five Elements and Wind and Thunder, and could not be measured using the cultivator's concept of rule layers. However, Lu Chen could roughly estimate that the power of the rules controlled by the Wind and Thunder Dao Soldiers was likely around the third or fourth layer.

Through this, he would likely be able to quickly push his rules to the third or fourth layer. Leaving a Clone to comprehend should not hold him back for too long.

As for the third Clone, it was naturally to be used for comprehending Divine Powers.

But, which Divine Power would be best to comprehend?

He had actually thought about this long ago.

His Body Refinement strength was higher than his Qi Refinement strength, so when choosing Divine Powers, he naturally had to favor those that could enhance his Body Refinement strength to maximize the effect.

After much thought, Lu Chen finally chose the Divine Power he had initially favored from the 'Primal Camel Cloud Swallowing Armor', Yuan Tuo Dharma Body. This Divine Power was extremely extraordinary; it could change the size of the Physical Body at will. Cultivated to a profound level, with sufficient strength, it could even make the Physical Body reach the heavens, larger than the stars in the universe starry sky, capable of crushing stars with a single finger.

Furthermore, the Physical Body's defense would also surge accordingly.

Additionally, the depth of cultivation of this Divine Power could be easily seen: the larger the Physical Body when the Divine Power was cast, the deeper the cultivation, and the stronger the strength, with a very high upper limit.

He left the third Clone in front of this Spirit Treasure Dao Soldier, beginning to comprehend this Divine Power.

Two more days passed, and Lu Chen's body suddenly trembled, feeling a surge of feedback power coming from the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin.

"All sixty Spirit Treasure Dao Soldiers have advanced to Wind and Thunder!"

He was overjoyed, then calmed his distracting thoughts and circulated his Cultivation Technique. His Body Refinement cultivation increased greatly again, but it was still not enough for him to break through to the Fourth Tribulation.

Three more days passed, and an even more immense feedback force came from the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin again.

This time...

"The Dao Soldiers nurtured by the nine peak Yang Spirit Great Demons exchanged from the Martial God Palace have also succeeded!"

Although there were only nine peak Wind and Thunder Dao Soldiers, the feedback force was astonishingly vast, directly allowing Lu Chen's Body Refinement cultivation to break through.

"Boom!"

Thunder rumbled in the sky; the thunder tribulation had arrived.

He chose not to undergo the tribulation within Dongming Sect, but instead went directly into the Starry Sky to face it. It was the Six-Nine Thunder Tribulation, with a total of fifty-four bolts of tribulation lightning. However, with his Dao Soldiers defending him, he easily passed through it.

At the same moment.

Zhao Yujing, Chen Tianshu, and Jiang Daoqing, who were still stationed in the Ancient Demon Remnant Tomb, simultaneously looked up at the Starry Sky.

"A Fourth Tribulation Body Refinement Yang God Realm, undergoing the Six-Nine Thunder Tribulation. In terms of Body Refinement cultivation alone, he is no longer beneath a normal Sixth Tribulation Yang God!" Jiang Daoqing nodded in approval, with a hint of astonishment.

Remarkable, truly remarkable!

Having cultivated for just over a year, he has entered the Fourth Tribulation Yang God Realm, and he is also a dual cultivator of Body Refinement and Qi Refinement. He has cultivated an Immortal Embryo in Qi Refinement and golden Qi and Blood in Body Refinement. Any one of these two achievements alone would be enough to be called a true Heavenly Pride, even across the entire universe starry sky.

Yet, Lu Chen possessed both, which was truly incredible.

It was hard to imagine that a gradually declining Azure Underworld could still produce such a figure.

"Not bad!" Chen Tianshu stroked his beard and chuckled softly.

There were many Heavenly Pride with rapid cultivation speeds. Chen Tianshu had even seen some Heavenly Pride whose companion Spirit Treasure was specifically for accelerating cultivation.

The most exaggerated were those great races of the Universe, such as the 'Long-Lived Species' who called themselves the God Clan, the 'Heaven-Born and Earth-Nurtured' who called themselves the Sacred Spirit Race, or the 'Dao Seed' born from the Dao. These existences were born with great power, and those with astonishing talent even possessed the cultivation of a Nascent Soul Realm Great Power from the moment of their birth.

In front of such naturally gifted great races, even the fastest cultivating Human Race would pale in comparison.

Of course, these great races were not invincible. With Lu Chen's cultivation progress, in another hundred years, he would certainly not be weaker than the Heavenly Pride of these great races.

"Why does this kid seem to be cultivating faster and faster?" Zhao Yujing watched, filled with confusion.

It was bizarre, truly bizarre!

Since Lu Chen went through the Qing Ming Great Cleansing, underwent the Yang God thunder tribulation, and achieved Body Refinement Yang God, and then after the Qing Ming Great Cleansing ended, Lu Chen underwent two more thunder tribulations consecutively.

So, how long had it been?

It had only been about four months in total, and Lu Chen had already undergone four thunder tribulations consecutively!

One thunder tribulation per month?

Did it have to be this exaggerated?!

It was simply monstrous. Even Zhao Yujing, who was considered monstrous himself, felt it was monstrous, because he wasn't this fast when he was in the Yang God Realm!

Another extremely exaggerated thing was how easy it was for Lu Chen to undergo tribulations!

He just summoned his Puppet, and it blocked all the tribulation lightning for him. The thunder tribulation that struck fear into all cultivators, with a death rate as high as seventy or eighty percent, was simply like a walk in the park in front of Lu Chen, not much harder than eating or drinking!

"This Puppet Technique does have its merits!"

At this moment, Zhao Yujing's Dao Heart wavered slightly.

Should he also cultivate the Puppet Technique?

But as soon as this thought arose, it was quickly extinguished!

"I almost damaged my Dao Heart!" Zhao Yujing was startled.

The Puppet Technique is a minor path, how can it obstruct my Ascension Immortal great Dao!

Another month passed, and Lu Chen once again felt a surge of abundant feedback power from the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin.

This time, the Dao Soldiers nurtured by the Yang Gods of those several high-level Demonic Path cultivators had succeeded.

"Earlier, when the nine peak Wind and Thunder Dao Soldiers were completed, it almost allowed me to directly break into the Fifth Tribulation Yang God Realm. With this coming now..."

As expected, he was about to break through again!

"Boom!"

Terrifying Physical Body power erupted. His Body Refinement cultivation broke through the Fourth Tribulation and entered the Fifth Tribulation Yang God!
