Chapter 654: Chapter 328: The Creation and Evolution of the Tenth Level of Huashen
The nurous cultivators around Lin Yi shook their heads when they saw him intending to endure the Heavenly Tribulation with his physical body alone. The Eastern Daoist Friend was too confident in his own strength—this was Heavenly Tribulation, after all.
Although the Ascension Tribulation, ant to remove the Otherworldly Aura, was not as mortally perilous as the true Crossing Tribulation—with a nine-in-ten chance of death—it was still extrely dangerous. Many Ascenders relied on formations to weaken the Heavenly Tribulation and in the end were still severely injured, unable to heal in a short amount of ti even if they managed to survive the Tribulation and gain so benefits.
So cultivators, overconfident in their strength and not relying on formations to diminish the Tribulation, even suffered foundational damage, leading to halted progression in their cultivation levels, a cause for imnse regret.
Soon, lightning flickered amidst the dark clouds, gathering into the first bolt of Heavenly Tribulation and striking directly down.
Lin Yi remained calm, for through the Eye of Emptiness, he had already sensed the strength of the first bolt and knew his body could withstand it. Nonetheless, to be on the safe side, a defensive shield still manifested around his body.
After weakening it for a mont, he released the shield, letting the thunder and lightning strike him directly. At the sa ti, he activated the Technique of Transforming Cloud into Wind, defending with the strength of Body Refinent and absorbing the power of the Heavenly Tribulation.
Seeing Lin Yi endure the Heavenly Tribulation with his physical body alone, the cultivators watching revealed expressions of astonishnt. Even though this was far from a real Crossing Tribulation, the power of this Tribulation was still not sothing an average Body Refinent cultivator could endure.
Under the bombardnt of the Tribulation, his physical strength’s defenses were continuously breached, the thunder and lightning infiltrating his body. Lin Yi consciously controlled the Wind Power within his body, allowing the lightning to follow a specific path to temper his physique.
Absorbing the power of the Heavenly Tribulation into the body was entirely different from perceiving and absorbing it.
The forr worked only on the physical body, while the latter entered the Dantian within the body and could rge with the internal Thunder and Lightning Elent.
Indeed, once the lightning entered his body, he found its destructive force was not as great as he imagined. With sufficient physical strength, it truly was the best substance for tempering the body.
Lin Yi, dressed in red garnts, presented a startling vision as he endured the Heavenly Tribulation with his physical body.
The first bolt of Heavenly Tribulation passed as he tempered his body, and when it subsided, he was sowhat unsatisfied, craving more.
The second bolt proceeded in the sa manner, weakened for a while before directly used to temper his body.
After so ti, the third bolt descended, and Lin Yi still used the Eye of Emptiness to observe. He suddenly noticed that what he sensed from this bolt was entirely different from the previous two, filled with a destructive and violent aura.
If such thunder and lightning entered his body, it would not temper but would rather wreak havoc, destroying everything in its path.
He weakened the force of the Heavenly Tribulation with his own strength and passed through it safely.
When the fourth bolt ca, carrying the sa destructive and violent aura, Lin Yi couldn’t help but smile. This Heavenly Tribulation truly was a trial—he deduced that the previous bolts could temper the body, while the subsequent bolts required one to withstand on their own.
However, many cultivators undergoing Tribulation wished for all available ans to be used. The earlier bolts, beneficial to the body, were completely blocked, and when the later, unavoidable bolts ca, they had no choice but to endure the purely destructive force with their physical bodies.
The fifth bolt was the sa; he weakened the force of the Heavenly Tribulation and defended with his protective shield.
After the fifth bolt, the dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, and a beam of light shone down. Lin Yi felt his body enveloped in warmth, that peculiar sense of being locked by the heavens disappeared.
Through the sense of the Eye of Emptiness, he perceived so traces of the Otherworldly Aura.
However, he had not changed his identity, so he did not know whether the Otherworldly Aura had been completely eradicated from his body or just from the identity of Invincible East.
Soon, the light faded, and the injuries caused by the Heavenly Tribulation during the tempering of his body completely healed. Moreover, the thunder and lightning that entered his body began slowly rging with it.
Lin Yi nodded to himself; his deduction was correct. The earlier bolts of the Tribulation were beneficial to the body, while the subsequent bolts carried a destructive aura and could not transform into a Healing Elent inside the body as in White Painting’s Transformation Tribulation.
Otherwise, Ascenders would not suffer severe injuries during Tribulation. If too much violent lightning was endured in the last three bolts, then this single beam of light would probably not fully heal them.
After crossing the Heavenly Tribulation, he cupped his fists in gratitude to several Void Refinent Cultivators who had protected the law for him, then transford into a beam of light and vanished from Tribulation Peak.
Many cultivators found nothing astonishing about Lin Yi’s Tribulation; the initial two bolts were likely just tests of physical Body Refinent strength. As the bolts grew stronger, he no longer resisted them with his physical body.
Back at his Cave Mansion, Lin Yi began contemplating his next plan—whether to continue crossing Tribulations to refine his body with various identities or to progress his cultivation to the Refining Void Realm.
After so reflection, he decided to first raise his cultivation levels to the Refining Void Realm before making further plans. At that point, the title of Path of Survivor would be upgraded, and his fate would undergo so changes. Based on these circumstances, he would formulate the next step of his cultivation plan.
