Chapter 340: Heavenly Tribulation

Soon, thick black clouds completely covered the entire sky above Eternal Spirit Stone Peak.

Lightning carrying a terrifying aura of destruction continuously surged within the clouds.

The scene looked extremely frightening.

Fu Young stared at the enormous thunderclouds.

His expression darkened.

Compared to his own Spirit Transformation Tribulation, this tribulation cloud was more than twice as thick.

Damn it...

He spoke unhappily, "Master! It’s Heavenly Tribulation!"

"Ah! I almost forgot. Our cultivation technique is different from yours. We face a Heavenly Tribulation every time we break through a major realm. Ah... what a troublesome thing~~~!"

Xiao Shou placed a hand on his slender waist and looked up at the tribulation clouds.

Only then did he notice the faint traces of formations beneath them.

After leaving seclusion, the outside world had completely changed.

However, he had no time to ask about the reason.

He immediately pulled his hand away from Fu Young’s grasp and said, "The mountain protection formation is blocking this place. The tribulation lightning cannot descend. The tribulation clouds will only continue accumulating and becoming stronger. I also won’t be able to use the tribulation lightning to temper my body. I’ll go outside and undergo the tribulation first. We can discuss everything else after I return."

"No need to go through so much trouble." After saying this, Fu Young lightly snapped his fingers.

His eyes sparkled with excitement and anticipation as he looked at Xiao Shou, waiting for his reaction.

Xiao Shou watched as the snap of his fingers seemed to activate something.

Above him, the mountain protection formation barrier that was faintly visible beneath the tribulation clouds immediately opened a gap above Eternal Spirit Stone Peak.

The endless dark clouds that was carrying destructive lightning immediately poured through the opening.

The lightning continued gathering, as if preparing an ultimate attack.

Xiao Shou looked surprised when he saw this, "This is... The formation of the mountain protection array changed! You can actually control the barrier this easily? How incredible."

"Young’er, I’m going to undergo the tribulation. You should leave quickly." Only after saying this did Xiao Shou realize that this was not the time to discuss such matters. He hurriedly urged Fu Young to leave so he could prepare for the Heavenly Tribulation.

"Alright! I’ll protect Master during the tribulation." After saying this, Fu Young used the osmanthus trees spread throughout the Snow Cave Mountain Range to teleport outside the range of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Fu Young knew that if he remained nearby, the tribulation lightning would only become several times stronger.

It was better for him to stay away and observe from the edge of the tribulation range.

If Xiao Shou could not endure it, he would immediately intervene.

Thinking about his own tribulation, where the lightning had barely seemed serious and had only struck a few symbolic times, then comparing it with the terrifying thickness of Xiao Shou’s tribulation clouds, Fu Young felt extremely dissatisfied.

After seeing Fu Young teleport away, Xiao Shou finally relaxed.

He quickly teleported away from his residence and arrived at the peak of Eternal Spirit Stone Peak.

Facing the Heavenly Tribulation directly, he silently calculated.

He was currently in the Spirit Transformation Realm.

According to the cultivation technique, the tribulation he needed to overcome was the Five Nine Heavenly Tribulation.

This time, there were no three tribulations combined together.

He also was not undergoing tribulation together with Fu Young.

So the Five Nine Heavenly Tribulation should not mutate again, right?

During the endless years spent inside Yao Guang’s internal space, cultivation was not the only thing Xiao Shou had focused on.

He had thoroughly mastered countless techniques, secret arts, magical treasures, and spiritual treasures.

He had even created many new techniques of his own.

His sword arts had also expanded beyond those original two moves.

Based on modern games, anime, novels, and other inspirations, he had created seven additional sword techniques.

His strength had now increased tremendously.

The current Xiao Shou no longer feared the Five Nine Heavenly Tribulation.

Looking at the thick tribulation clouds and the rolling lightning in the sky, Xiao Shou did not summon his Life Bound Spiritual Treasure, the Dreamshard Illusion Sphere.

His Life Bound Spiritual Treasure was a control type treasure and was not particularly suited for direct defense. He could use other defensive methods instead.

Besides, he first needed to use these tribulation lightning bolts to temper his body..l

When the tribulation clouds gathered in the sky, they immediately alarmed the disciples who were not cultivating inside the Time Pavilion.

They immediately climbed to the peaks of their respective mountain ranges and watched the scene of Xiao Shou’s tribulation from afar.

They had witnessed a similar sight half a month ago.

That had been the tribulation of the Sect Master’s only personal disciple.

Although it was only a Five Nine Tribulation Lightning Tribulation, it had still greatly broadened their horizons.

The first time they saw such a heavenly tribulation, they were completely stunned.

Aside from the final nine lightning strikes, which were slightly thicker, the other tribulation lightning bolts had been as thin as strands of hair.

They had seemed to strike merely as a formality.

Now, another person was undergoing tribulation. But this tribulation cloud was far thicker.

It was several times thicker than Senior Brother Fu Young’s.

Moreover, this person was also undergoing tribulation on Eternal Spirit Stone Peak.

The only people living on Eternal Spirit Stone Peak were the Sect Master and Senior Brother Fu Young.

Senior Brother Fu Young had only recently survived his tribulation.

Then... Could it be the Sect Master?

Once they considered this possibility, the cultivators with stronger cultivation and sharper divine senses quietly sensed the situation.

They discovered that it really was the Sect Master.

They could not help but think: As expected of the Sect Master.

The tribulation clouds during his heavenly tribulation were actually much thicker than Senior Brother Fu Young’s.

What level of tribulation was this?

A Seven Nine Tribulation?

An Eight Nine Tribulation?

It could not possibly be a Nine Nine Tribulation, right?
