Chapter 1964: This Wave Is Secure! Heavenly Tribulation Changes? Facing It Head-On!
"Boom!!"
With a thunderous roar, countless bolts of lightning fell from the sky, resembling fierce dragons, intertwining and wrapping around each other, forming a terrifying pillar of lightning never seen before. It burst forth with brilliant rays, illuminating the ages!
Standing on a mountaintop a hundred miles away, Ji Wudao was startled by this earth-shattering scene.
"This intense? When I used to undergo the Creation Realm tribulation, I don’t think it was this severe. What’s going on with him?"
Originally, Ji Wudao wasn’t too worried about whether Mu Jinyu could pass the heavenly tribulation. But at this moment, seeing how terrifying Jinyu’s Life and Death Realm thunder tribulation was, he couldn’t help but feel a strong sense of worry.
He worried that Mu Jinyu might not be able to overcome this heavenly tribulation!
"Come on!!"
Mu Jinyu, enveloped within this terrifying pillar of lightning, was somewhat surprised by the appearance of this heavenly tribulation. However, his expression soon turned stern, his gaze fearless. Gripping the Riot-Quelling Sword, he fiercely slashed upwards!
"Boom!"
As the Riot-Quelling Sword slashed upwards, a formidable Blood Dragon, clad entirely in Sword Armor, violently charged towards the lightning pillar!
The Blood Dragon was not small in size, reaching a length of a hundred meters.
Yet, contrasted with this terrifying pillar of lightning, it seemed as insignificant as a worm beneath a Divine Dragon.
Anyone witnessing this scene would not think that the Blood Dragon could be a match for the lightning pillar. It appeared as futile as a mantis trying to stop a cart, about to be crushed mercilessly by the rolling wheels.
However, what unfolded next was truly astonishing.
The Blood Dragon fiercely collided with the lightning pillar, astonishingly and indomitably forcing the pillar apart.
The sensation was akin to a drill bit pitted against a foam board; the drill naturally suffered no damage, but the foam board was instantly pierced through by the drill.
The scene was just like this.
"Boom boom boom!!"
In an instant, the Blood Dragon cut through brambles and thorns, cleaving the thousand-meter-long lightning pillar into two.
After which, the pillar lost its Origin Power, and with a great boom, transformed into dispersed electric lights and dissipated threads of Thunder Arc!
"This fierce?"
Ji Wudao had been worried about whether Mu Jinyu could withstand the lightning strike, or if he could barely hold on, but at the cost of severe injuries from the heavenly tribulation.
This would make facing the more ferocious upcoming tribulations even harder for him.
Who would have thought that Mu Jinyu would, with just one slash, completely obliterate this heavenly tribulation!
This turn of events filled Ji Wudao with much confidence in Mu Jinyu.
He believed that as long as there were no unexpected changes, Jinyu should be able to pass this heavenly tribulation!
"Steady!"
Ji Wudao said confidently.
"Boom!"
No sooner had Ji Wudao finished speaking.
The densely swirling, pitch-black tribulation clouds suddenly churned, exploding with brilliant red light, like a beautiful sunset.
Yet, this radiant red glow brought Ji Wudao an oppressive, suffocating feeling.
"Could it be..."
He furrowed his brows and exclaimed in astonishment.
A strong sense of unease brewed in his heart.
Then, the tribulation clouds churned once more, and a bolt of lightning entwined with brilliant flames came crashing down!
Seeing this, Ji Wudao’s brow twitched violently, and his breathing became rapid.
Indeed, the most worrisome situation had arisen.
The heavenly tribulation had morphed, and it wasn’t just a thunder tribulation but was accompanied by Strange fire, truly a terrifying conjunction of thunder and fire with boundless might!
Now, can Mu Jinyu still withstand it?!
"Ha!!"
Mu Jinyu was unaware that Ji Wudao had jinxed him. Seeing the heavenly tribulation rushing down, giving him no respite, he furrowed his brow slightly, then lifted his Blood Essence forcefully, shouting angrily, and once again slashed towards the sky with a Sword Dragon Slash!
"Boom!!"
Under Mu Jinyu’s assault, this heavenly tribulation mingling thunder and fire was also partially dispersed by his single slash.
However, the might of this heavenly tribulation had ultimately increased significantly.
Therefore, Mu Jinyu couldn’t completely dispel it, leaving some residual lightning and Strange fire to continue curling downwards!
Seeing this, Mu Jinyu frowned, raising his hand to prepare another slash upwards, intending to obliterate this heavenly tribulation!
But then, contemplating for a moment, he stopped his slashing motion.
Afterwards, he let the Corpse-Wrapping Cloth move a bit away, and gazed directly at the descending heavenly tribulation!
"What is he doing?!!"
Ji Wudao, upon seeing Mu Jinyu’s actions, was initially puzzled and baffled. But seeing that part of the heavenly tribulation about to fall, and Mu Jinyu still showing no signs of readying for defense, he immediately understood.
Mu Jinyu was preparing to use his physical body to withstand this wave of heavenly tribulation!
"Isn’t this... afraid of something going wrong? Too reckless, isn’t it?"
Ji Wudao murmured admiringly to himself.
He had, of course, heard of some Absolute Heaven’s Pride, who could use their physical bodies to pass through heavenly tribulations, coming out unscathed, and even using it for Body Refining to increase their strength.
Yet, he’d never seen anyone actually achieve this!
When facing a heavenly tribulation, doesn’t everyone expend all their trump cards, only to be left battered and on the brink of death?
Who would dare to resist it with their physical body?
Rumor has it that in the Canglan Realm now, only the Heaven’s Pride of the Ten Great Strong Races dared to do so.
And besides unique species like the War Clan among other species, no one else would dare attempt this.
Even among these Foreign Races, though some might dare, they are all Heaven’s Pride level figures, their clan’s ordinary members would never dare to risk it!
He never expected that he would witness a true Human Race attempting to pass a tribulation with their physical body.
This made Ji Wudao very worried, could Mu Jinyu withstand this?
"Boom!!"
As Ji Wudao worried, Mu Jinyu offered no resistance whatsoever, allowing the heavenly tribulation to strike him!
Instantly, the radiant light of thunder and fire illuminated the sky, to the extent that Ji Wudao couldn’t see the scene within the tribulation!
"Pfft!!"
As Ji Wudao furrowed his brow tightly, the overwhelming lightning and fire light suddenly flickered and finally vanished completely.
Mu Jinyu’s figure still stood proudly beneath the sky, unyielding and unwavering!
At this moment, his entire skin was slightly reddish, emitting scorching heat, yet his aura had undeniably grown stronger.
"Indeed, compared to using some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to enhance the physical body, the effect of using the Tempering Thunder Tribulation is much stronger!!"
Mu Jinyu muttered to himself.
His voice was already very low, and under the loud rumbling sky, no one could hear him.
Otherwise, if Ji Wudao had heard, he would have been extremely surprised.
Who would have thought Mu Jinyu actually used the heavenly tribulation for Body Refining, and according to his words, he had done it more than once or twice?
Yes, the reason Mu Jinyu suddenly decided to do so was because, back on Earth, he often used heavenly tribulations for Body Refining.
After arriving in the Canglan Realm, he didn’t encounter many lightning tribulations. Seeing how fierce this Life and Death Realm heavenly tribulation was, he didn’t dare confront it head-on, thus he had used the Sword Dragon Slash to contend with it!
However, in the last moments, when only a bit of the heavenly tribulation remained, he couldn’t resist the idea of using his body for refining, and he did try it in the end.
