524: Nine-fold calamity, fighting against the white-haired general, promoted to the ninth level of Rongtian

In a desolate mountain range.

Chu Jiang sat cross-legged, immediately beginning to refine the Golden Crow Sky Burning Gu. Inside his body, it was like a miniature Golden Crow, roaring and snarling at Chu Jiang.

"Refine for me!" Chu Jiang sneered, further activating the Formless Demon Subduing Body, Brahma True King Skill, and Pure Yang Immortal Seed, which manifested in his sea of magical power.

Rumble!

Snow Phoenix's palm erupted with ten thousand rays of light, entering Chu Jiang's body.

In an instant.

A blazing heaven and earth furnace, surging with terrifying fluctuations, doubled its refining power. The Golden Crow Sky Burning Gu was drawn into the heaven and earth furnace and forcibly refined.

The extreme Yang Qi contained within the Golden Crow Sky Burning Gu was comparable to a seventh-grade treasure. If a Heaven and Earth Realm Cultivator were to refine it directly, they would surely explode and die.

However, with the Pure Yang Immortal Seed present, all this energy would be absorbed and refined by it, making it impossible for his Physical Body to burst.

As time passed, seemingly sensing its fate, the Golden Crow Sky Burning Gu resisted more fiercely, desperately releasing its innate true fire, attempting to break out of the heaven and earth furnace constructed by the Pure Yang Immortal Seed.

But in the hands of Snow Phoenix, a powerhouse comparable to Rongtian Tenth Level, it was forcefully suppressed. The energy was refined bit by bit, nourishing the Pure Yang Immortal Seed.

The moment Chu Jiang completely refined it, the third true leaf solidified completely, and a Pure Yang flower bloomed in his Law Domain.

Chu Jiang's Aura surged rapidly.

Rumble!

The world changed color, dark clouds gathered, and a lightning storm swept across the heavens and earth. Thunderclouds were converging, covering a hundred-mile radius with immense momentum.

"Hmm?"

"This is... Lightning Tribulation!"

Chu Jiang looked towards the Void Realm. Ancient Cultivators generally only Underwent Tribulation when advancing to the Reaching Heaven Realm. Some extraordinary Prodigies might trigger a Heavenly Tribulation in the Heavenly Mandate Realm.

He vaguely remembered Zu Cang telling him that Division Chief Yuan Shouyi did not trigger a Heavenly Tribulation when he Broke Through to Rongtian; he simply Broke Through.

But that was a thousand years ago. This could only mean one thing.

The ancestral pulse had been severely eroded, further exacerbating the deterioration.

The upper limit of heaven and earth might further decrease. A thousand years ago, it might have been possible to give birth to Rongtian Realm, but a thousand years later, the difficulty has increased, making it almost impossible.

In as short as ten years, or as long as several decades, even Breaking Through to Heaven and Earth Realm might become extremely difficult.

However, why didn't that fellow Wu Ling King trigger a Heavenly Tribulation when he Broke Through to Rongtian? Was it because of the blood sacrifice, making him unqualified?

Above the Void Realm, dark clouds pressed down, seemingly brewing terrifying lightning.

Boom!

A white bolt of lightning shot directly from the thunderclouds, striking Chu Jiang's Physical Body squarely. Even this opening lightning strike could easily kill a Half-Step Rongtian.

However, for Chu Jiang, it was far from reaching his limit.

"So comfortable!"

This Heavenly Tribulation power was actually nourishing his Physical Body, making him feel warm.

"Again!"

Chu Jiang was ecstatic. This Heavenly Tribulation was not a calamity; it was simply a treasure. No wonder ancient heroes, after Undergoing Heavenly Tribulation, would see their combat power surge.

Buzz!

Chu Jiang took a step, and the Void Realm trembled violently. He charged directly towards the thunderclouds.

In the sky, blazing lightning illuminated all directions, like a waterfall of lightning, vast and boundless, with shocking white light.

Chu Jiang's eyes trembled. Good heavens, the first time was one bolt of lightning, but the second time there were a thousand bolts of lightning, fiercely striking his body.

The difference was too great.

Crack!

He stood in the heavens and earth like a Lightning Law King, his Thunderous Body frantically operating, desperately refining.

As a thousand bolts of lightning fell, his blood splattered, and he suffered large areas of burns.

Before Chu Jiang could even adjust, the third wave of lightning, a pale green heavenly lightning, was ten times more powerful than the previous white lightning.

Rumble!

Pfft...

Chu Jiang's skin cracked, and he faced a huge crisis. The Formless Demon Subduing Body was activated to its extreme, and the Demon Suppressing Golden Body erupted.

This Heavenly Tribulation power was an Opportunity, but also a calamity. Survive it and a carp transforms into a Dragon; fail to survive, and one's Dao vanishes.

One wrong move, and both body and Soul would be annihilated.

No, this Heavenly Tribulation power was too strong. Relying solely on the Demon Suppressing Golden Body for filtration was still a bit strenuous; the refining speed simply couldn't keep up with the speed at which the heavenly lightning struck him.

"Sky Net Umbrella!"

Chu Jiang roared, lightly patting the purple gold gourd. A precious umbrella glowing with green light soared into the sky, instantly growing a thousand times larger, shielding Chu Jiang within it.

This umbrella was a defensive Magic Treasure from the thirteenth floor of the Demon Suppression Division's Trial Tower. He didn't expect it to come in handy today.

With the Sky Net Umbrella, Chu Jiang's pressure greatly reduced. He constantly fought back, activating the Pure Yang Immortal Seed, Thunderous Body, and Brahma True King Skill simultaneously, refining frantically.

The fourth wave, ten bolts of green heavenly lightning, swept down from the thunderclouds.

The fifth wave, a hundred bolts of green heavenly lightning.

The sixth wave, ten bolts of light crimson heavenly lightning, crashed down with a tide-like pressure.

Chu Jiang suffered heavy injuries, and his skin began to peel off extensively.

The seventh wave, a crimson heavenly lightning bolt streaked across the sky, like a meteor impact, directly striking the Sky Net Umbrella.

Crack...

The Sky Net Umbrella instantly developed cracks, showing signs of shattering.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Ghost Cry Saber, Soul-Bewitching Bell, Chu Jiang instantly threw out more than a dozen Magic Treasures, detonating them to disperse the Heavenly Tribulation power.

Having plundered so many aristocratic families and major forces, he naturally had no shortage of Magic Treasures. Although they couldn't compare to the Sky Net Umbrella, they could still block some of the attacks for him.

At this moment, Chu Jiang was undergoing the baptism of Heavenly Tribulation. His Soul was being condensed, sublimated, and Breaking Through the shackles of the extreme Divine Sense.

Although his flesh and blood withered and his skin peeled off, his bones, marrow, blood, pulse, and internal organs were all undergoing evolution.

The eighth wave, a hundred crimson lightning bolts, lashed out at the heavens and earth, filled with terrifying Aura, instantly shattering over a dozen Magic Treasures.

Chu Jiang was struck flying again, blood splattering. Terrifying lightning surged within his body, which had already undergone a transformation, and his Thunderous Body advanced once more.

"Is it over?"

Chu Jiang asked, looking at the thunderclouds. After the eighth wave of Lightning Tribulation descended, the ninth wave did not immediately follow.

Boom!

Thunderclouds rolled, and heavenly lightning roared.

The heavens and earth seemed to undergo an earthquake. A Lightning Dragon burst out from the tribulation clouds, and on its head stood a white-haired Heavenly General, wielding a Heavenly Tribulation Divine Sword, with a tide-like pressure and awe-inspiring Divine Might.

This person was extremely dangerous.

There was actually someone in these tribulation clouds, which was simply unbelievable.

Chu Jiang's Law Domain soared to its peak, all his martial arts and Divine Abilities unleashed without reservation.

True King Transformation, Azure Emperor Dharma Form, and Brahma Dharma Idol all erupted.

Boom!

The ultimate move of the Formless Demon Subduing Body — Demon Suppressing Starfall. Chu Jiang conjured a great star with his hand, and a terrifying phantom emerged, like a star falling from outside the heavens, crushing ten thousand zhang of the Void Realm.

Clang!

Demon Suppressing Starfall was shattered by the Heavenly Tribulation Sword, and he was almost struck down.

"Hand of the Heavens!"

Chu Jiang roared, his magical power instantly drained. The Hand of the Heavens reappeared, its five-elemental power evolving into world power, covering the sky and earth, surging with terrifying Divine Might, engulfing the white-haired Heavenly General in front of him.

Pfft!

The white-haired Prodigy suffered heavy injuries, his body almost collapsing, and the Lightning Dragon disintegrated.

But he was still not dead and continued to attack him.

"Kill!"

Chu Jiang continued to fight. The Pure Yang Immortal Seed exuded immortal light and jade liquid, replenishing some of his parched magical power, allowing him to continue fighting.

The two fought for another hundred rounds, and the white-haired Heavenly General finally vanished into the sky.

As the Heavenly Tribulation passed, Chu Jiang's Pure Yang Immortal Seed was no longer suppressed and began to bloom to its fullest, as splendid as a Nine Heavens Immortal Flower.

Chu Jiang's Realm began to loosen, his Aura continuously climbed, and the hidden Heavenly pulse within his body were opened one by one.

Heaven and Earth Realm opens the cave heavens, with ten cave heavens reaching Perfection.

Rongtian Realm opens the Heavenly pulse, gathers the power of heaven and earth, and grasps the mighty power of heaven and earth.

Opening three great Heavenly pulse is Rongtian First Level, with thirty-six pulse reaching Perfection.

...

Rongtian First Level.

Rongtian Second Level.

Rongtian Third Level.

Rongtian Fourth Level.

...

Rongtian Seventh Level.

Rongtian Eighth Level.

Rongtian Ninth Level.

In just a few moments, Chu Jiang's Realm Broke Through to Rongtian Ninth Level, without the slightest resistance. His Aura was more than ten times stronger than before.

After undergoing the baptism of the Lightning Tribulation.

His sea of magical power had transformed into golden raw liquid, and the purity of his magical power was ten times more condensed than that of an ordinary Rongtian. When he used the Hand of the Heavens again, even if all five attributes were fully evolved, it would not consume even one percent of his magical power.

His Soul power directly Broke Through to Rongtian Realm Perfection.

Moreover, what surprised him even more was that the number of Heavenly pulse he had opened reached eighty-one, which was double that of Rongtian Tenth Level.

When ordinary people Break Through to Rongtian, they open three Heavenly pulse at the First Level, while he opened nine Heavenly pulse.

Is this the benefit of Breaking Through Law Domain Seventh Level?

"Awesome!"

Chu Jiang said joyfully.

No wonder that fellow Eternal Mother refused to Break Through; it turns out there was such an Opportunity.

"Now, I really won't eat beef anymore!"
