Chapter 689: Chapter 345: Discovering the Traces of Ascenders
Watching thunder and lightning strike the Cave Mansion of the Golden Serpent, the faces of the five Monster Ancestors were filled with incredulity and doubt, as they each speculated about the nature of this Heavenly Tribulation.
They tried to probe with their Divine Sense, but it seed as if they were blocked by a mysterious aura, preventing their Divine Sense from penetrating further.
However, as the thunder and lightning descended, dense Demon Energy surged from the direction of the Cave Mansion, convincing them that it was undoubtedly Long Ao undergoing the Tribulation.
While undergoing Tribulation, Lin Yi naturally revealed his true form, because his identity as part of the Demon Tribe had been constructed in the Spirit Profound Realm, and therefore, unlike the three avatars in Heng Yuan World, did not carry the aura of the Lower Realm, easing the need for the Tribulation.
Similarly, since the fictitious identity does not bear the true body’s karma, even if he wanted to switch to the Demon Tribe identity after attracting the Heavenly Tribulation and then undergo the Tribulation with that identity, it would be impossible.
Once the identity was switched, the Heavenly Tribulation would dissipate as if it had lost its target.
Previously, he had already set up everything for the final stage, so even if he revealed himself in his Human true form, those Monster Ancestors would not detect a trace of suspicion.
Looking at the descent of the first thunder and lightning, Lin Yi felt it for a mont and then took it directly with his body, figuring that the first two lightning strikes, based on the experience of passing Tribulation as Invincible East within the Tai Xuan Dao Palace, were trendously beneficial for the body’s tempering.
However, the Cultivators who had ascended mostly used various ans to resist the initial stages of Heavenly Tribulation.
For this first strike of Heavenly Tribulation, he did not use his body’s defenses excessively and allowed the thunder and lightning to enter directly, tempering his flesh.
After the first strike of Heavenly Tribulation landed, the Monster Ancestors felt the power of the thunder and lightning and began to form so speculations.
A hint of suspicion crossed the face of the Fox Tribe Demon Ancestor, “This seems like the Heavenly Tribulation that Ascenders face to eliminate the Otherworldly Aura. Could it be that Long Ao is an Ascender from the Lower Realm who has used so tricks to deceive us?”
At that mont, the Serpent Clan Demon Ancestor laughed, “White, you haven’t quite hit the mark with your suspicion. You should be saying that perhaps it is possible that our friend Long Ao is actually a being descended from the Immortal Realm, claiming not to be so and thus has deceived us.”
“Dragon’s words are true. Our friend Long Ao is descended from the Immortal Realm and naturally carries an Otherworldly Aura. It would indeed be strange if he didn’t undergo the Tribulation,” the Rat Clan Demon Ancestor said in agreent.
The Wolf Clan Demon Ancestor nodded too, echoing, “Yes, the Immortal Realm is a higher world and could be considered a different space altogether. It naturally carries an aura of another world. With Long Ao being so powerful, how could he possibly be an Ascender from the Lower Realm? Could it be that he ascended and reached the Refining Void Realm without ever facing this Ascension Tribulation?”
“Fellow daoists, let’s set aside this issue for now and quietly watch the Tribulation,” said the Monster Ancestor of the Golden Peng Clan in a grave tone. He felt a surge of joy as the Tribulation indicated that the Golden Serpent hailed from another world.
And this world could certainly not be the Lower Realm, since such an environnt was incapable of nurturing a Monster Beast as formidable as this. Only a higher-tier Immortal Realm was plausible.
After surviving the first strike of Heavenly Tribulation, Lin Yi directed the thunder and lightning that had entered his body along a specific route, continuously tempering his physique. As Invincible East, he had already tempered it once before; this was his second ti.
However, the Ascension Tribulation that he was now undergoing, below the Refining Void Realm, was sowhat more potent than the one he had faced as Invincible East, suggesting the intensity was adjusted according to one’s Cultivation Realm.
A little while later, the second strike of Heavenly Tribulation descended. Lin Yi sensed it and a peculiar expression crossed his face, as it seed identical to the first strike in aura. However, through the sensation of the Eye of Emptiness, he could tell it carried a wild and violent aura.
This type of aura, upon entering the body, would undoubtedly inflict significant damage. During the Tribulation as Invincible East, the first two strikes were beneficial to the body. It was only on the third strike that this violent aura appeared.
Now, with the second strike already manifesting such characteristics, only two possibilities arose: either his own Cultivation was too high, offering only one beneficial lightning strike or the nature of the thunder and lightning was random.
Based on his speculation, it was likely the latter, which also explained why Ascenders did not perceive the benefits of Ascension Tribulation since its randomness could not be discerned with the naked eye.
Having determined the strike to be filled with violent aura, Lin Yi naturally discarded the idea of tempering his body, prepared to adopt a defensive stance to endure this lightning strike.
At the sa ti, he used the Eye of Emptiness to sense the nature of the Heavenly Tribulation. After all, there was no trace of any opposing organization of the Creation thod here, and this was a Tribulation, not an Ascension.
What’s more, in deciding to undergo the Tribulation today, he had already leveraged his Predict Crisis ability once without any crises arising.
Just as he was about to release the three types of Qi within his body to defend against the Tribulation, suddenly, the Creation thod inside him began to operate automatically. The black Yin Qi at the lower Dantian erged, forming a Yin Energy Shield around his body outside.
When the violent thunderbolt struck this Yin Energy Shield, it did not cause any damage. Instead, it was absorbed.
Lin Yi’s face showed astonishnt as he watched the thunder and lightning being absorbed, the Yin Energy Shield growing denser and making the Yin Qi within his body grow stronger.
To absorb Heavenly Tribulation was utterly inconceivable; the Tribulation was violent, representing the masculine, and now it was being absorbed by the Yin Qi – perhaps this was indeed what was ant by supplenting Yin with Yang.
