PNB Chapter 278 Tribulation
Chapter 278 Tribulation
After reading all the messages, Cheng Jiu calculated the time and realized that three months had actually passed!
Thank goodness, I didn't miss the sect competition!
No wonder she couldn't find her companions when she came out; it's time for her to return to the sect!
Cheng Jiu summoned the little cloud beast, which, feeling familiar with the welcoming environment, happily flew around a few times.
Go home!
Compared to when it left, the biggest difference on the little cloud beast is that its originally soft and white body now flashes with star-like light from time to time, making it more beautiful and more sophisticated!
Of course, Cheng Jiu's strength also increased as his cultivation improved. He is now at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm and can break through to the Dao Integration Realm at any time!
As the sky gradually darkened, Cheng Jiu felt as if he had forgotten something.
She forgot that Heaven had not forgotten this slip-through who had broken through his cultivation level!
Before she could react, the lightning tribulation, which had already gathered momentum, struck down fiercely!
The lightning illuminated the relatively remote forest, making it as bright as day.
This forest is located at the boundary between the inner and outer areas. Some weak and timid demon beasts are frantically fleeing outwards under this Nascent Soul Tribulation!
The lightning tribulation did not strike Cheng Jiu, but instead struck the little cloud beast that was standing in front of Cheng Jiu.
The little cloud beast's chubby body stiffened slightly, and its white, meteor-like color changed into the purple of a lightning tribulation.
The arcs of lightning unique to tribulations flowed rapidly across his body.
The little cloud beast's body expanded rapidly, absorbing the powerful lightning tribulation into its body.
The little cloud beast's innate racial talent encompasses all things. Previously, its cultivation level was low, and it couldn't absorb the lightning tribulation. However, its cultivation level improved, and it underwent a unique transformation.
DouDou looked up at the sky. What seemed like a terrifying lightning tribulation to outsiders was undoubtedly a great tonic for it!
Before the second heavenly tribulation could even react, the third and fourth heavenly tribulations struck down rapidly in succession.
The little cloud beast devoured one dish after another like spicy strips, as if it had found its favorite food, without suffering any harm whatsoever!
The little cloud beast's behavior was tantamount to a provocation to the Heavenly Tribulation. The five lightning bolts, number five, seven, eight, and nine, struck down one after another without any pause. The five lightning bolts actually converged into one in mid-air, which was ten times more intense than the previous Heavenly Tribulation. As if locking onto a target, it blasted towards Cheng Jiu's crown chakra with great speed and ferocity.
Before anyone could react, the little cloud beast let out two whimpers and pounced towards the lightning tribulation at an even faster speed.
The lightning tribulation melted away as quickly as snow falling on the sun, leaving no trace of its power.
As the sky churned and the second wave of heavenly tribulation failed to descend, Cheng Jiu keenly sensed something was amiss.
Looking at the surging thunderclouds and the faint, profound pressure they exuded, Cheng Jiu suddenly slapped his forehead. Could it be that the tribulation lightning had sensed the provocation and escalated?
Looking at the increasingly purple thunderclouds and the faint golden lightning within them, Cheng Jiu involuntarily swallowed.
"Little Rainbow Dash, come back quickly!"
"Woo woo woo!" The little cloud beast woofed happily and confidently at Cheng Jiu. Don't worry, Xiao Jiu, this little lightning tribulation is nothing to it! Even if its power is upgraded, it is still no match for it. Leave it to it!
Cheng Jiu looked at the little cloud beast with a mixture of amusement and exasperation: "Of course I believe in Little Cloud Treasure's abilities! But judging from the appearance of this heavenly tribulation, it probably won't let it go until it strikes me, a proper person undergoing tribulation!"
Aside from the provocation from the little cloud beast and her constant evasion, Tianjie probably thinks she's someone who skipped out on her bill through other means.
It was specially upgraded so that Cheng Jiu would know the power of the lightning tribulation.
To be fair, the Heavenly Dao of Cheng Jiu's world truly values and is impartial in this regard.
As soon as Cheng Jiu retrieved Xiao Yunbao, the Heavenly Tribulation was immediately upgraded. The golden lightning, purple with golden light, was enough to tear flesh apart with just one hit, and its destructive power was extremely astonishing. This golden thread was a kind of law power.
If one's understanding of the laws is not deep enough, these laws will be difficult to expel from the body and will instead transform into destructive factors, frantically destroying everything within the body!
Those who reach the Nascent Soul stage are more or less involved in some laws, and their understanding varies. So, theoretically, the Golden Thread Heavenly Lightning cannot kill people. At most, it will cause them pain for several days, as long as the power of the rules is expelled.
However, if one forcibly attempts to improve their cultivation level and encounters this golden silk ball lightning, it would be tantamount to certain death. The power of the laws parasitizing within a person's body is enough to torment anyone to the point of wishing for death.
This is also a test of true strength.
The Heavenly Dao is relatively merciful and rarely uses Golden Thread Heavenly Lightning. After all, this thing is the least cost-effective type of heavenly lightning for those undergoing tribulation. It hurts and doesn't work. The little bit of law power contained in Golden Thread Heavenly Lightning is useless except for destruction!
The Heavenly Dao is quite lenient with the heavenly lightning that strikes down on cultivators who break through to the Nascent Soul Realm; most of the lightning strikes were like the purple lightning that Cheng Jiu encountered at the beginning.
The transition from the Nascent Soul Realm to the Divine Transformation Realm is a chasm, and the biggest change from the Nascent Soul Realm to the Divine Transformation Realm is the understanding of the laws.
The process of breaking through is already a long and arduous ordeal. It requires not only reaching the required cultivation level, but also comprehending the laws, enhancing the soul power, and sublimating the physical body. This process is essentially a transformation from mortal to human, and many geniuses have been stuck at this hurdle.
The success rate of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage and passing the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation has always been very high. The Heavenly Dao manages this very leniently and treats all cultivators equally. Only a few unlucky ones will trigger the lightning tribulation to advance!
Cheng Jiu, well, she was a jinxed unlucky girl who courted death!
Nevertheless, Cheng Jiu took out the upgraded and even more formidable Heavenly Wood Sword and held it in his hand. Looking at the lightning tribulation, his beautiful eyes showed no fear and shone brightly under the terrifying lightning tribulation!
It makes no difference to her! She'll pass anyway!
The lightning, streaked with gold, crashed down heavily on Cheng Jiu's head, its unique ferocity and destruction relentlessly assaulting her skin.
The arcs of lightning illuminated her, making her appear like a ghost or a god!
But even such a terrifying arc of electricity could not penetrate the defenses on the surface of her skin.
Like a massage, the sounds of massage come and go, leaving only pure comfort!
Although the heavenly tribulation that struck a person was even more terrifying than before, there was a trace of calm within this terror!
One by one, the challenges fell upon Cheng Jiu.
After enduring two waves of attacks, Cheng Jiu finally summoned the little cloud beast. It wasn't that she was afraid; after all, heavenly tribulations were precious cultivation resources.
It just so happens that the little cloud beast likes it, so her heavenly tribulation shouldn't be wasted.
The Heavenly Tribulation did not react to the reappearance of the little cloud beast; instead, it dutifully unleashed the remaining Heavenly Tribulations one after another.
The little cloud beast ate its fill and was very satisfied. Cheng Jiu was leisurely under the terrifying heavenly tribulation. The heavenly tribulation dutifully completed its task, and for a time, a strange harmony was achieved.
The commotion here naturally attracted attention, as did many adults in the surrounding area. To put it bluntly, undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation around the city without any protection was quite eye-catching!
More importantly, anyone with some strength knows what this heavenly tribulation represents!
This world is about to gain a Nascent Soul cultivator. In any power, the Nascent Soul realm is not considered weak!
Some of these powerful beings who were outside the Heavenly Tribulation wanted to see this newly promoted Nascent Soul stage cultivator and see if they could befriend him, while others simply wanted to see if they could recruit him.
But whatever their purpose may be, one thing will not change: Cheng Jiu has successfully entered the ranks of the strong!
From this day forward, even if she doesn't cultivate, as long as she doesn't encounter any accidents, she will have a long lifespan of two thousand years!
