Chapter 421 Middle Stage of Divine Power Realm

"What is happening?!! Why has the sky turned black?!!"

Wuyun Ridge was a mountain range stretching for tens of thousands of miles. Nearby, there were many villages and towns, as well as an ancient city, Yunqi City.

When the thunderclouds gathered and obscured the sky for hundreds of miles, it had already attracted the attention of many people.

When the bolt of lightning that pierced the heavens and earth struck down, those with extensive knowledge and profound cultivation immediately realized what was happening.

"Is someone Undergoing Tribulation?!!"

"Who is this? Such a grand display!!"

"This doesn't seem like a Lightning Tribulation for the Holy Realm, does it?"

Experts in Yunqi City stood atop the city walls, gazing at the distant thunderclouds with shock in their eyes.

In the Yuanqing Holy Realm, martial arts practitioners only face a Lightning Tribulation when breaking through to the Holy Realm and condensing the Law. The lightning is vast and surging, enough to cover a region of ten thousand miles.

Once they survive, they are honored as Saints within the domain.

Conversely, they would die under the Heavenly Tribulation.

That is why the appearance of the Heavenly Tribulation caused such a stir among the crowd.

The vast majority were restless, wanting to go and see who was Undergoing Tribulation. If a Saint had truly descended, the entire Yunqi City would have to bow in worship.

However, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation is unfathomable. Once caught in it, one would instantly be reduced to ashes by the rolling heavenly thunder.

Even from such a distance, they could feel the terrifying will of heaven and earth, which made everyone feel immense pressure, causing their Primordial Spirit to tremble incessantly.

Of course, in the eyes of some knowledgeable people.

Although the momentum of this Heavenly Tribulation was vast, it was still inferior compared to the terrifying Lightning Tribulation of advancing to a Saint.

"Could it be that some peerless Prodigy from a Holy Land is Undergoing Tribulation here?"

Someone couldn't help but ponder.

For the very few who possess cultivation talent far exceeding ordinary people and have accumulated profound foundations at a young age, it is possible to trigger a Heavenly Tribulation for tempering even below the Holy Realm.

But such people are all true peerless Prodigies standing at the pinnacle of the entire Yuanqing Holy Realm.

How could they come to a small place like Wuyun Ridge?

Next, everyone watched from afar.

The heavenly thunder in the high sky came in waves.

At first, there were only a few lightning bolts, but later they turned into sheets of lightning. Thick clouds piled up in the high sky, and the aura of the Heavenly Tribulation permeated, blocking everyone's view.

The lightning submerged that area into an ocean.

After a full half-hour, the Heavenly Tribulation slowly dissipated.

"Phew! It's finally over!"

Yan Chu, who was at the center of the Heavenly Tribulation, let out a long breath of turbid air, a look of relief appearing on his face.

He admitted that he had still underestimated the power of this Heavenly Tribulation.

The first half was fine, but in the second half, various kinds of heavenly thunder were unleashed without restraint. There were ordinary lightning bolts, as well as transformed lightning in the shapes of blades, spears, swords, and halberds. Some were even filled with the Five Elements aura of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Even with his current physique, he couldn't withstand it, and he was blasted until his skin was torn and white bones were exposed.

Now that the heavenly thunder had dispersed, he could finally relax.

Just at this moment, pitter-patter...

A light rain suddenly began to fall from the sky. The rainwater fell on Yan Chu, turning into pure spiritual light that poured into his body. His severely injured body began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his aura climbed steadily.

The spiritual rain fell to the ground, and patches of green grass and plants grew. Within a radius of dozens of miles, it was soon covered in green.

The Heavenly Tribulation represents destruction and death.

But after passing it, heaven and earth will bestow gifts upon the one who underwent the tribulation.

This spiritual rain was the proof.

The rain fell harder and harder, like a downpour. It was centered mainly on Yan Chu, and the rain curtain became smaller the further out it went.

The spiritual rain merged into Yan Chu's limbs and bones. Without him needing to specifically refine it, it flowed into his Qi Sea. The originally vast and boundless Qi Sea expanded again, with spiritual mist steaming from the surface, like a real ocean.

The three Divine Treasuries vibrated in unison, and his essence, energy, and spirit were vigorous beyond measure.

His Origin Embryo became more in tune with heaven and earth. In the darkness, Yan Chu had more insights into the Laws of heaven and earth.

Divine Ability Realm Middle Stage!

Yan Chu's cultivation at this moment had reached the Middle Stage of the Divine Ability Realm, more than ten times stronger than just before!

He opened his mouth and inhaled, and immediately a massive amount of spiritual rain and Origin Qi was sucked into his mouth. His aura continued to climb, his Primordial Spirit buzzed, and his bones emitted the sound of metal and stone rubbing against each other, as if cast from divine metal. His blood surged like a long river, mist rose around his body, and his energy surged violently.

Swish, swish, swish!!

Suddenly, the sound of clothes cutting through the air came from afar, and rays of light with varying depths of aura descended.

The vast majority of them were Heaven Realm, but there were also many with Divine Ability Realm auras.

"Oh? It really is a Divine Ability Realm Undergoing Tribulation?!!"

Upon seeing Yan Chu and his young appearance, everyone was astonished.

Although there had been guesses, seeing with their own eyes that it was indeed a Divine Ability Realm cultivator Undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation, and so young at that, made many people feel complicated.

Seeing the spiritual rain filling the sky, some people's eyes flickered, and greed arose in their hearts.

This kind of spiritual rain bestowed by heaven and earth is a top-tier spiritual item.

There is no need to refine it. It not only has the effect of increasing cultivation but can also bring the dead back to life and regrow flesh and bones. It is even more extraordinary than some hard-to-find divine medicines in the world.

However, although Yan Chu's aura was only at the Divine Ability Realm, the awe-inspiring power that radiated invisibly made him look difficult to provoke.

Moreover, the other party could Undergo Tribulation at the Divine Ability Realm and was so young; they might be a Saint-level figure from some great sect or Holy Land. For these people who had practiced for hundreds or thousands of years, they dared not try to snatch it before finding out the other party's identity.

Thus, everyone watched with envy, jealousy, and hatred as Yan Chu drank like a whale, refining every drop of the heavenly dew until nothing was left. Only when his whole body was glowing with spiritual light and his aura stabilized did they dare to come forward to greet him.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist! Congratulations, Fellow Daoist!!"

A middle-aged man with a long beard in purple robes walked up with a smile, cupping his hands and saying:

"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist for your great improvement in cultivation. This transformation is truly beyond our reach!"

Yan Chu draped a black robe over himself and looked forward. There were dozens of people, with varying depths of aura, the four in the front being the most powerful.

The purple-robed middle-aged man who spoke was one of them, with a Late Stage Divine Ability Realm cultivation.

"Fellow Daoist, you are too kind! A slight improvement is not worth mentioning!"

"Compared to you, Fellow Daoist, I am still far behind!"

Having just arrived in this Great World, Yan Chu needed to understand the world, and since these people didn't take advantage of his weakened state, he naturally wouldn't slap a smiling face.

"Hahaha! Fellow Daoist, you are joking!"

City Lord Yu Chongyue laughed loudly and flattered:

"I am just a has-been with limited prospects, how can I compare to you, Fellow Daoist, who are rising steadily? With heaven-sent talent."

"By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet."

"I am City Lord Yu Chongyue, the City Lord of Yunqi City, and also an Elder of the outer sect of the Ziyun Sect. May I ask your name, Fellow Daoist? And what is your background?"

Yan Chu's eyes flashed, and he chuckled:

"I am a True Disciple of the Cold Ice Holy Sect, surnamed Kang, named Zhe. I have been traveling here recently and had some insights, so I went into seclusion here to break through my Realm. I didn't expect to disturb everyone."
