Chapter 766 - 557 Divine Body Immortal Refinement_3
Upon witnessing this scene,
the many Immortal Gods observing Duge’s tribulation were simultaneously dumbfounded.
Wan Ji, the eldest disciple of Emperor Donghua, asked, "Master, why does Senior Tiandao not dispel the Heavenly Tribulation, instead choosing to endure the agony of lightning consuming his flesh?"
The tribulation is divided into the Nineteen Tribulations, the Forty-Nine Tribulations, the Seventy-Nine Tribulations, and the Ninety-Nine Tribulations.
Each corresponds to the cultivation level of the cultivators; the stronger the cultivation level, the more formidable the lightning tribulation, with the mightiest Ninety-Nine Tribulation requiring one to endure eighty-one thunder strikes.
The clouds of tribulation above Duge’s head were the legendary Ninety-Nine Great Tribulations, the most terrifying of them all.
The first eighty strikes of the Ninety-Nine Tribulation can be dispelled by using magical treasures or one’s cultivation level, but only the last strike is the bodily refining trial after the world has recognized one’s strength. Surviving it means acquiring a Divine Body; failing it means ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
For Duge to endure the first strike head-on was unprecedented; no one had ever dared attempt such a feat.
"The senior must want to forge the strongest Divine Body!" Emperor Donghua muttered to himself, "After all, he is the Incarnation of Heaven, not like us mortals."
Everyone fell silent.
