Chapter 792 - 713: Reaching the Peak 112
Fearing that using the passage would be too slow, Shuangshuang moved like lightning, leaving Sea China’s borders and heading straight for the sea. If she were too slow and the Heavenly Tribulation struck, who knows how many sea Magic Beasts would be electrocuted to death. Wouldn’t she be causing disaster then!
The only fortunate thing is that when the Heavenly Tribulation arrives, it won’t strike immediately. There’s a buffer time to gather the Thunder Power for Crossing Tribulation, giving cultivators a chance to catch their breath, prepare Arrays and Magic Artifacts to resist the Heavenly Tribulation, or, like Shuangshuang, quickly move away from populated areas.
Of course, even in her rush, Shuangshuang didn’t forget to send messages to Feiyu, Lu Tianyi, Bai Sheng, and Fei Hu, urging them to quickly go to the sea to watch her cross the tribulation. It’s a rare opportunity to gain insight into the cultivation at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.
As Shuangshuang rushed towards the sea, she also sensed the Heavenly Tribulation. The entire ninth floor’s cultivators were alarmed. Being at the ninth floor meant having Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivation, with only a few like Shuangshuang at Martial Venerable Perfection able to stay there.
So seeing the Heavenly Tribulation appear for the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, the ninth floor’s cultivators were stunned. Needless to say, it was obvious—a Martial Venerate level cultivator capable of reaching the Transcendance Tribulation Stage. Another genius demon has emerged!
After the initial shock, the Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivators quietly resumed their cultivation. For them, watching someone of the same realm crossing the tribulation was of no use. At their level, they lacked the young crowd’s enthusiasm and naturally didn’t want to watch the bustle.
The minor disturbance among the ninth-floor cultivators quickly settled, while the tenth-floor cultivators were soundless. Meanwhile, the first to eighth floors in Sea China were all agitated. Everyone knew a cultivator was advancing to the Transcendance Tribulation Stage and was crossing a Heavenly Tribulation. How could anyone pass up such a good observation opportunity?
By the time Shuangshuang reached the sea and quickly found a barren island with no vegetation, people, or beasts for her tribulation, the sea was already packed with human cultivators and Spirit-wise Magic Beasts gathered to watch Shuangshuang cross the tribulation, gaining insight into Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivation.
Of course, these spectators kept their distance from Shuangshuang, not daring to get too close. The Heavenly Tribulation is indiscriminate—all creatures entering its range risk being struck. For cultivators below the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, even getting close means being reduced to ashes in no time.
The sky was overcast with thunderclouds, low as if they might come crashing down any moment. Mighty lightning roamed and flickered within the clouds, making a booming crackle, and without even striking, it already made hearts shudder.
Shuangshuang calmly raised her head to look at the thunderclouds still accumulating Thunder Power, without a trace of fear. She had no intention of using any Magic Artifacts or Arrays to resist the Heavenly Tribulation.
Shuangshuang cultivated her body strength; her body was her best Magic Artifact. She intended to use the Transcendance Tribulation Stage’s Heavenly Tribulation to temper her body, making herself even stronger.
The thunderclouds kept growing, and the lightning within them became increasingly fierce. Purple-blue lightning darted through the sky, occasionally letting out a deafening roar.
Finally, the thunderclouds, saturated with electricity, shot a massive lightning bolt directly at Shuangshuang’s head! It was a staggering visual, as if the gigantic lightning connecting heaven and earth struck the small human on the ground with an unparalleled force!
Clenching her teeth, Shuangshuang activated her cultivation technique, mobilizing all her Spiritual Power to shield every inch of her skin.
From a distance, everyone saw the massive lightning engulfing the small figure on the barren island instantly, followed by the continuous booming of thunder. The sea trembled, raising enormous waves!
Enveloped in the thunder’s might, Shuangshuang felt an overwhelming force of destruction and chaos seizing her in an instant.
This formidable force shattered all her defenses, penetrating every corner of her body, including her meridians, Spirit Mansion, and Sea of Consciousness.
Then, like a withering burst of a gale, it violently destroyed everything inside her—meridians, Spirit Mansion, Sea of Consciousness alike! But after the destruction, a vast vitality forcefully repaired the damage, making her meridians, Spirit Mansion, and Sea of Consciousness wider and sturdier than before.
Another bolt struck her, bringing destruction and rebuilding again. Though the Heavenly Tribulation’s force had benefits, the destructive and reconstructive process was excruciatingly painful.
Her muscles and meridians tore repeatedly, her Sea of Consciousness and Spirit Mansion endlessly demolished and rebuilt. It was agony maddening enough to wish for a moment of unconsciousness, free from pain, but the torment was so severe that losing consciousness was impossible, leaving her to bear it fully aware.
At first, Shuangshuang only endured the Heavenly Tribulation by sheer willpower. However, she soon discovered that the power coursing into her body started to scatter chaotically, no longer advancing straight but swirling to and fro, impeding Body Refinement.
Parts that should be destroyed weren’t, and parts to be repaired remained undone. Without guidance, such immense power would certainly burst Shuangshuang’s body apart. She could only grittingly, pain-ridden, use her Divine Sense to guide the power along the cultivation technique, circulating through her meridians, Spirit Mansion, and Sea of Consciousness.
With Shuangshuang’s Divine Sense steering, the force finally calmed, beginning to operate along the pre-set trajectory. Bearing the intense pain, Shuangshuang focused every iota of attention on leading the force brought by the Heavenly Tribulation to strengthen her own power.
This was the most perilous aspect of the entire Heavenly Tribulation—guiding the force through one’s body with spiritual power to achieve Body Enhancement.
The danger lay in the ever-growing, accelerating force of the Heavenly Tribulation; any slight mistake would see one’s body exploded into powder by the tribulation’s force.
The Transcendance Tribulation Stage’s Heavenly Tribulation had nine waves in total. Shuangshuang concentrated fully on fortifying herself, entirely ignoring the external world. When no more power entered her body, this time’s Heavenly Tribulation had finally been safely overcome.
After the tribulation, a massive golden light pillar descended from the sky, shining directly on Shuangshuang. The pillar was imbued with energy rich in vitality, thrusting into Shuangshuang’s body, forcibly enhancing the already formidable physical power she possessed.
In the golden pillar’s enhancement, filled with life-giving energy, Shuangshuang’s cultivation advanced two small stages. Then the dispersed thunderclouds once again gathered, and seeing this scene, some observers with broad knowledge couldn’t help but exclaim.
