191: Chapter 190 Heavenly Thunder Tempering? Yin Fire Tribulation

The crowd quickly retreated over a hundred miles. Fortunately, most of the people who came were above the Golden Core Stage. For those whose cultivation was insufficient, someone carried them along to run. Just over a hundred miles was a piece of cake.

They certainly didn't dare to test this kind of power.

Duyuan, who was already at the Body Integration Stage, also wore a frightened expression; the power of this heavenly lightning was enough to severely injure him.

But there were always Divine Beings who wanted to defy the odds and forge ahead.

Yet the Disciples of Tianshi Mansion and the Shenxiao Sect were eager to try.

Lin Hai looked at the sky full of lightning radiance, seemingly moved, and turned to say to Zhang Yuzhuo:

"Senior Brother, do you think we can use this lightning to practice lightning techniques? Just looking at it, the lightning force is huge!"

Before Zhang Yuzhuo could reply, Celestial Master Zhang's foot arrived, and Lin Hai was kicked flying out.

As for his father, Lin Wei, he wore an expression of 'well hit', which made him want to go up and add another kick as well.

Lin Lei directly pretended not to see it, and indeed he didn't see it, as he was too busy looking at Liangbing.

"You are even more of a genius than your Senior Brother. He used high-voltage electricity, and you want to use a Heavenly Tribulation? What virtue or ability does this Master have to be able to take in Disciples who are so 'uniquely talented' like you all?

Go on, in a moment, Master will pick a piece of geomantic treasure land for you, call your father and your younger brother, and give you a grand burial!"

Lin Hai rubbed his buttocks, and upon hearing Master's words, he shrank his neck: "I was just talking about it."

Zhang Yuzhuo's rare dark history of practicing lightning techniques with high-voltage electricity was thus exposed by Celestial Master Zhang in front of everyone.

Daoist Yuzhu looked at the gazes cast over by Duyuan, Zhou Wei, and others, only feeling his cheeks burning hot.

Even the Second Elder wore an expression of having lived long enough to see everything. 380-volt electricity couldn't electrocute a 250-level Daoist—Daoist Yuzhu, you're truly awesome!

Zihua of the Shenxiao Sect looked at Lin Hai's fate and rejoiced that she hadn't spoken first. Looking at her own Master's disappointed expression, she was somewhat speechless; this old man just wanted to kick people for fun.

Master Yuanxin was earnestly instructing his little Disciple:

"Qilin, watch closely. This is the Ascension Tribulation, your Senior Brother's Heavenly Tribulation—an enhanced version of the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation. However, your Senior Brother has thick skin, so nothing major will happen. With your talent, your future Heavenly Tribulation will be at least a Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, and possibly even a Nine-Nine."

"Today, consider it as accumulating experience!"

Qilin nodded solemnly.

Wangchen looked at the continuously condensing tribulation clouds: "In my previous civilization, there has never been this kind of Heavenly Tribulation. Let alone the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, even the Six-Nine Tribulation was only crossed by the founder of the civilization."

Yuanxing remarked: "The Heavenly Dao of the Minor Thousand Worlds probably couldn't drop a Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation either."

Yuanqing nodded in agreement.

Wangchen: "..." That makes sense!

Li Qiye was also explaining to Liangbing: "Little Disciple, the Ascension Tribulation is divided into three, six, and nine Heavenly Tribulations, with nine paths per layer, and each layer is stronger than the last. What Ye Qingxuan is crossing is the nine-nine; the first six layers are mere child's play to him, and the final three layers are the main event!"

Liangbing watched with a solemn expression as the heavenly lightning continually struck down, while her heart drummed incessantly.

Kaisha and Hexi, who arrived fashionably late, consciously stood behind Liangbing. There was no help for it; everyone present was either a Senior or a little friend. Of the only two acquaintances, one was getting struck by lightning, leaving only Liangbing.

Liangbing squinted sideways, glancing at the blonde and the silver-haired one. Her heart felt as comfortable as drinking a cup of iced cola on the hottest days of summer.

Ignoring the two who were grinding their teeth in anger, Liangbing asked Li Qiye for guidance with utmost 'docility'.

The Heavenly Tribulation continued. Ye Qingxuan's evaluation of the heavenly lightning's power was that it felt tingling and numb—quite refreshing, actually?

He looked at the clothes on his body; the inscribed array patterns were already crumbling. For a Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact to withstand the first layer of the Ascension Tribulation could already be considered remarkable.

Ye Qingxuan stood beneath the heavenly lightning, letting it strike his body, yet an incomparably comfortable expression appeared on his face, as if he were enjoying a massage.

Heavenly lightning Body Tempering? Wrong! Heavenly Tribulation massage!

What a unique and unconventional tribulation-undergoing session!

Qingling and Bai Yuekui stood together, mechanically petting the cat. The little cat wore an expression of utter despair, wanting to ask Lin Yao for help. As a result, when it looked at Lin Yao—goodness, the stars in her eyes were about to pop out. Looking again at Yun Huan, Yun Huan couldn't help but clamp her legs tightly together.

The little cat gave up struggling; whatever happens, happens!

Five hours later, the sixty-three bolts of heavenly lightning concluded, the lightning radiance gradually subsided, and the outline of the Heavenly Gate appeared.

Celestial Master Zhang: "That's already sixty-three bolts? If this fucking were a Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, wouldn't it be as simple as eating and drinking for Qingxuan?"

Master Yuanxin glanced sideways at his bad friend: "It's not that difficult!"

As someone of the Innate Human Race, how could Ye Qingxuan's powerful Physical Body be easily battered by mere heavenly lightning? What needs attention are the final three layers of the tribulation.

Master Kongming: "Alright, Celestial Master, stop bickering with old Yuanxin. The main event is coming up next!"

Wang Songxi: "The Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation: the first six layers are the Lightning Tribulation, the seventh layer is the Yin Fire Tribulation, the eighth layer is the Yin Wind Tribulation, and the ninth layer is..."

Zhao Wuwang: "The Heavenly Tribulation transforms into form!! He needs to contend with past Cultivators who achieved Immortal Ascension!"

"The seventh layer tribulation is coming!"

"Yin Fire is not fire from beyond the heavens; it is a self-generated fire that ignites from the Yongquan acupoint at the soles of the feet, burning all the way up along the Meridians and charging straight into the depths of the Niwan Palace Sea of Consciousness at the top of the head."

"It specializes in burning the Cultivator's internal organs, flesh and Meridians, as well as the turbid Qi, Karmic Obstruction, and vicious Impurities accumulated within the Cultivator's body. If they cannot endure it, their internal organs will turn to flying ash, and all their cultivation will be burned away to nothing."

These cultivation newbies listened to the terrifying nature of the Heavenly Tribulation. While feeling afraid, they also felt a yearning in their hearts.

"Tiangang Divine Power and Earthly Fiend abilities can both be used to evade it, but Qingxuan, he..."

Master Yuanxin paused when he reached this point; who among those present could not understand?

With Ye Qingxuan's talent and strength, he simply disdained to evade; he would choose to meet it head-on.

At this moment, Ye Qingxuan sensed it: the Yin Fire Tribulation had arrived!

A chilly yet burning sensation erupted from the Yongquan acupoint without any warning!

This flame had no temperature, yet it carried a bone-corroding, soul-melting chill and a destructive aura. Following the Meridians and acupoints like a venomous snake, it rapidly spread upward, targeting directly at the Primordial Spirit within the Niwan Palace of the brain!

Feeling the Yin Fire surging from the soles of his feet, Ye Qingxuan sat cross-legged on the spot and circulated his magic power to keep it in check.

What it burned was not the Physical Body, but the practitioner's internal organs and magic power!

This flame was born from within and could not be extinguished. One could only rely on one's own magic power and the will of the Dao to endure it head-on, while continuously using magic power during the process to repair the vitality scorched and damaged by the Yin Fire, completing a deeper level of tempering and transformation.

Tiangang Divine Power could naturally be used to evade it cleverly, but Ye Qingxuan disdained taking shortcuts and abandoned any clever methods.

He stimulated the Xiaoyao Great Dao, fusing the internal and external, utilizing the Yin Fire to temper his Physical Body and Primordial Spirit, burning away all Impurities and purifying his Dao body.

Everyone just watched like this as dark blue flames erupted from Ye Qingxuan's body, the rootless fire burning fiercely for three hours.

Under the Yin Fire Tribulation, Ye Qingxuan's flesh and blood dissipated inch by inch, only to be constantly repaired.

In place was a jade-colored skeleton, constantly being repaired and burned down. Ye Qingxuan's entire body emitted a cyan-gold radiance, while the light at the center of his brow was even more dazzling.

Master Yuanxin: "Is he really going to endure it head-on like this? Will that work?"

Even in the secret lore passed down by word of mouth from Sect Heads, there were no examples of enduring the Yin Fire Tribulation head-on.

Celestial Master Zhang: "Back then, the Ancestral Celestial Master also used Tiangang Divine Power to evade it. However, with Qingxuan's unprecedented Dao foundation, there shouldn't be a problem... right?"

Wang Songxi: "Grandmaster Sanfeng was also the same. However, Fellow Daoist Qingxuan's aura hasn't weakened, and moreover, it has faintly grown a bit stronger?!"

Qingling and Bai Yuekui watched their man's miserable state and couldn't help clenching their fists tightly.

Little Jiu, who was being squeezed until rolling its eyes, stopped crying out as well.

Yun Huan and Lin Yao were also stamping their feet with worry, but they knew clearly that no one could help right now; they could only watch like this.

Bai Yuetian watched with bared teeth and grimaces.

The onlookers felt their hair stand on end; was this not too terrifying? Just looking at it hurt!

Yet Ye Qingxuan was completely oblivious, as if the one being burned wasn't him.

From the moment the Yin Fire began to attach itself, scorching every inch of his Meridians, calcifying every single bone, and eroding every internal organ,

he concentrated all his mental focus, manipulating the magic power within his body to cooperate with the Xiaoyao Great Dao, repairing the areas ravaged by the Yin Fire over and over again.

The innate Divine Ability belonging to the Innate Human Race began to awaken.

Finally, when the last wisps of deep blue Yin Fire turned into a wisp of cyan smoke and dissipated, an unprecedented sense of complete clarity instantly filled Ye Qingxuan's entire body. Refreshing!!

Duyuan, Zhang Yuzhuo, Zhou Wei, and others wore faces full of envy and anticipation, wondering what kind of tribulation their own Heavenly Tribulation would be.

If it truly was a Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, they would probably have to obediently go and evade it; trying to endure it head-on would likely result in a fate of bodily death and Dao dissipation.

Qingming was extremely excited, hugging Qingyun's neck and shaking him unceasingly: "The Yin Fire Tribulation has passed? He endured it head-on and made it through?! Second Brother, did you see that!!"

Qingyun was choked until he rolled his eyes. Feeling the brute strength of his Senior Brother, he couldn't break free?! Thus, he hurriedly sent out a distress signal to Qingmo.

Meanwhile, Qingmo was in the middle of shock and didn't see Second Senior Brother's cry for help. Even if he had seen it, he wouldn't have bothered to care—could a Return Void Almighty actually suffocate to death?

Fortunately, Ximo saw his Junior Martial Uncle's miserable state and hurriedly pulled on Qingming.

Seeing that Second Brother was about to roll his eyes, Qingming hurriedly let go, while simultaneously remarking: "Second Brother, you're already at Return Void Perfection, how can you still get suffocated?"

Qingyun was stunned. Could he say that just now he had forgotten that he could breathe?

The two had spent several hundred years together. To put it bluntly, just by lifting a buttock, they knew what the other was about to drop. With one look, Qingming knew that Second Brother was acting foolishly again.

Qingmo directly refused to look; Second Senior Brother was so embarrassing!

The Yin Fire Tribulation had been crossed! Next was the Yin Wind Tribulation!
