298: Using humans as medicine
"Boom!"
Without any warning, thunderclouds suddenly gathered above the Ancient Demon Remnant Tomb. Rolling muffled thunder exploded, all converging above Lu Chen's head.
"Yin reaches its extreme and gives birth to Yang. He broke through the barrier of transforming Yin God into Yang so quickly?!" The Fifth Elder looked at Lu Chen, who was emitting a pure and flawless Yang light and was faintly surrounded by immortal aura, with a complex expression.
He had been stuck between the Yin God and Yang God Realms for hundreds of years, unable to find the way in.
But now, right before his eyes, Lu Chen entered the ranks of Yang God without any Bottlenecks or obstacles, so smoothly. To be honest, the Old Man couldn't bear to watch such a scene!
His heart felt heavy!
Are Heavenly Pride just this unreasonable?
Shouldn't there be some Bottlenecks between major Realms?
There should at least be some obstacles!
Entering the Yang God Realm so smoothly just made him, the Fifth Elder, seem useless!
Not to mention the Fifth Elder, the remaining Fourth Elder and Sixth Elder weren't much better off. They were all stuck at the Yang God barrier. Their mindset at this moment were actually not much different from the Fifth Elder's.
How could one break through major Realms so smoothly?
He couldn't understand!
Perhaps this was the difference between a Heavenly Pride and someone with a little talent!
What's more, even among Heavenly Pride, Lu Chen was among the most top-tier. Even the Dongxu Immortal Mansion in the Starry Sky Ancestral Land was alarmed by him, intending to cross the Starry Sky to take him as a disciple.
Especially from the implications in Jiang Daoqing and Chen Tianshu's words, Lu Chen was expected to become the next Zhao Yujing. That level was truly off the charts!
What kind of person was Zhao Yujing?
He was the Holy Son of Dongxu Immortal Mansion, a top-tier Heavenly Pride ranked among the top ten on the Ten Thousand Clans Prodigy Ranking. Looking across the entire universe starry sky, among trillions of living beings, there were only a handful stronger than him under the age of three thousand.
How could Lu Chen's potential, which could be singled out and compared to Zhao Yujing's, be comparable to that of an ordinary Heavenly Pride?
The Elders felt that comparing themselves to someone like Lu Chen was somewhat pointless. They might as well just watch, perhaps they could glean something from it, accumulate more experience in breaking through to the Yang God Realm, and turn it into their own foundation.
"Breaking through immediately brings the Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation. As expected, he's not someone ordinary people can compare to!" Elders Gu Wenzhao and Fan Yanbo looked up at the rolling thunderclouds, full of admiration.
The Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation was a Lightning Tribulation only experienced by those breaking through to the Three-Tribulation Yang God Realm. Lu Chen had to undergo it upon first entering the Yang God Realm. What did this represent?
This represented that Lu Chen, upon just entering the Yang God Realm, could already stand shoulder to shoulder with a Three-Tribulation Yang God, and might even be stronger than a Three-Tribulation Yang God!
It had to be said, this was astonishing!
"Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation?!" Jiang Daoqing murmured to himself, "Does the Yang God formed by an Immortal Embryo also only undergo the Three-Nine Lightning Tribulation?"
Back then, when he cultivated the nine-inch-nine ultimate Dao Embryo, he was only one step away from an Immortal Embryo. Later, when he achieved the Yang God Realm, the Lightning Tribulation he underwent was also the Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.
But he knew that although the nine-inch-nine ultimate Dao Embryo was only one step away from an Immortal Embryo, truly speaking, the gap between them was as vast as heaven and earth. To truly take this step was as difficult as ascending to heaven!
Otherwise, Immortal Embryos wouldn't be so rare!
But why did the Yang God formed by a nine-inch-nine Dao Embryo and the Yang God formed by an Immortal Embryo both only undergo the Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation at the very beginning?
Shouldn't it be higher?
He couldn't understand. Perhaps back when the Immortal Embryo was formed, the one who formed it had already experienced a 'Heavenly Intent Dao Tribulation' first, so in the subsequent tribulations, the Heavenly Tribulation wouldn't add greater calamities.
Or perhaps, when first entering the Yang God Realm, the Lightning Tribulation sent down by the will of heaven and earth topped out at the Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.
Who knew?
As thoughts flickered, Jiang Daoqing casually flicked his sleeve, raising a gentle breeze that sent Lu Chen far away from this place. Immediately, the tribulation clouds above the sky also moved with him, quickly moving away.
External forces must not interfere during the tribulation, otherwise the Lightning Tribulation would intensify. At that time, Jiang Daoqing, Zhao Yujing, and others would all be drawn into the Lightning Tribulation.
"The Yang God is formed!" Lu Chen slowly opened his eyes, feeling the Yang God that transformed from extreme Yin to Yang, born from the extreme of Yin. He felt inexplicably comfortable, and even his soul seemed to have been baptized, as if immersed in a divine spring.
Furthermore, the Ten Great Laws of Five Elements, Wind and Thunder, Void, Saber, and Sword transformed into divine rings, circling outside the pure and flawless Yang God. At first glance, the Yang God in his Violet Palace seemed like a celestial deity residing in a Divine Hall, possessing divine peculiarities.
"Three-Nine Lightning Tribulation!" Lu Chen looked up at the tribulation clouds above his head, not caring in the slightest.
His Body Refinement cultivation had long since entered the fifth tier, and he had already undergone the Seven-Nine Lightning Tribulation. This Three-Nine Lightning Tribulation was merely a trivial intensity for him.
He was even too lazy to summon his Dao Soldier, simply standing beneath the Lightning Tribulation.
With his current Body Refinement strength, even if he let the Three-Nine Lightning Tribulation strike him, it wouldn't even break his skin.
"Boom!"
The tribulation clouds churned, and in an instant, rolling thunderbolts struck down. The dazzling lightning instantly illuminated the entire Ancient Demon Remnant Tomb, slamming onto Lu Chen's head.
However, Lu Chen's golden qi and blood surged into the sky. He allowed the Lightning Tribulation to strike and course over his body, yet it couldn't harm him in the slightest. Instead, he actively guided it into his body to temper his Physical Body, magical power, and Yang God, refining away the Yin within the Yang God.
This was the key to the Yang God's tribulation.
When the Yin God transforms into Yang, it's impossible to completely refine away all the Yin within the Yang God. Only by utilizing the power of the Nine Lightning Tribulations can this truly be achieved.
The entire tribulation process was uneventful. Lu Chen stood beneath the Lightning Tribulation the entire time, allowing the rolling thunderbolts to strike, but it lasted for a long time.
This made the eyelids of Protectors Gu Wenzhao and Fan Yanbo, who were watching from afar, as well as Elders Four, Five, and Six, twitch uncontrollably.
Undergoing Tribulation? Can it be done like this?
One should know that normally at this time, disciples of Dongming Sect who were Undergoing Tribulation should go to the tribulation platform specially built for tribulations within Dongming Sect. That place had stacked grand arrays that could help resist, weaken, and recover from the Lightning Tribulation.
There were also secret treasures prepared for Undergoing Tribulation, spiritual items for quickly restoring magical power, spiritual springs for recovering from injuries, and so on!
But even with such a fully prepared tribulation platform, it was impossible to increase the success rate of Undergoing Tribulation to one hundred percent.
But now, Lu Chen, without relying on any external objects, easily withstood the Lightning Tribulation with just his Physical Body. What was going on?
Were they all useless?
"With Junior Brother Lu's Body Refinement strength, this level of Lightning Tribulation no longer poses any threat to him!" Jiang Daoqing withdrew his gaze, then fell into worry.
Lu Chen had been in seclusion and naturally didn't know everything that was happening outside.
Even the three Elders, as well as Protectors Gu Wenzhao and Fan Yanbo, and even including Holy Son Zhao Yujing, were unaware that the Azure Underworld had already reached a critical juncture.
The Fallen Immortal of the Demon Clan had sealed the entire Azure Underworld, and their intention to devour the entire Qingming Human Clan as a great medicine had already been made clear.
This was not a guess, but had become a fact.
Previously, Chen Tianshu and Feng Jie's Master, the mysterious Old Man from Da Yan Holy Land, joined forces to break the Demon Immortal's seal with an array against an array. However, this drew the Demon Immortal to personally take action. Although Chen Tianshu revealed his Ascension Realm cultivation at the time, shocking the entire Azure Underworld and causing even those Human Race Great Experts and Great Power who had previously hidden their tracks to reappear and join forces with Chen Tianshu, the final result was not ideal!
After the battle, Chen Tianshu and Feng Jie's Master disappeared.
The remaining Human Race Great Experts and Great Power were either injured or dead, and once again went into hiding.
On the contrary, after the battle ended, that Demon Immortal swallowed an entire nation of billions of Human Race in the Northern Frontier in one go, and hasn't appeared since!
