Chapter 1454 - 1453: Tribulation of Body and Soul (Second Update)

Originally, they were all sure Zhang Bin was dead for sure. He'd been sealed in ice for several hours now; they figured even his soul had been invaded by the cold, completely wiped out. They were already planning how to fish out Zhang Bin's corpse and split up the treasures on him.

But Zhang Bin actually didn't die, and he was perfectly fine.

And he'd even devoured and absorbed all that icy energy.

Obviously, he'd inexplicably obtained the Snow Mountain inheritance.

He learned the Snow Mountain Divine Art and his cultivation level soared, his strength rising sharply.

That kind of contrast—how were they supposed to swallow it?

This was the same as getting their faces slapped hard, slapped like crazy.

The slaps were crisp and loud, leaving them dizzy and dazed.

"I absolutely can't let him walk out of our Snow Mountain Sect alive…"

Hopski was howling madly in his heart as a burst of icy killing intent shot off his body.

A sinister, poisonous grin also crept onto his face.

It looked like he'd come up with some vicious scheme against Zhang Bin.

Swish swish swish...

Zhang Bin strode forward ten steps in a row before finally stopping.

He no longer feared the terrifying cold; he sat down cross-legged.

Continuing to push his cultivation, devouring and refining that insanely terrifying chill.

Transforming it into Cold Ice True Qi.

He was going to break through to the Golden Core Realm!

"Woooooo..."

His body seemed to turn into a black hole, emitting an ultra‑strong devouring force.

It completely swallowed all the cold air surging toward him.

From the look of it, his aura was overwhelming.

"Boom..."

At last, an invisible bottleneck was shattered by Zhang Bin, and the liquid True Qi in his Dantian began to condense.

As if space were collapsing, a strange point of light appeared.

It started crazily devouring the liquid True Qi in his Dantian.

The speed was unbelievably fast.

In just a few breaths' time, all the liquid True Qi in his Dantian was devoured.

The light point transformed into a Golden Core only the size of a soybean.

Golden Core Realm—Zhang Bin had finally cultivated his way to it.

"Rumble rumble..."

Almost at the same time, layers upon layers of green clouds appeared in the sky.

Yes, this time it wasn't yellow clouds, but green clouds.

Clearly, because Zhang Bin had cultivated more than ten kinds of mystical cultivation techniques, producing more than ten attributes of True Qi, his combat power had risen drastically. Ordinary Heavenly Tribulation could no longer threaten him at all, so a terrifying Green Thunder Tribulation manifested.

You should know, Green Thunder Tribulation only appears when a cultivator breaks through to Ascension Realm Middle Stage.

Yet it arrived when Zhang Bin broke into the Golden Core Realm—truly abnormal.

"Rumble rumble..."

The green clouds spun rapidly, blasting dense Green Thunder down onto Zhang Bin.

Even more horrifying, green clouds mysteriously appeared inside Zhang Bin's Moon Palace as well, crazily bombarding his Spirit Body with Green Thunder.

Body and soul enduring tribulation at the same time!

This was unprecedented.

Even those who cultivate to Ascension Realm Great Perfection first have their bodies cross tribulation, then their souls.

And this was also the first time Zhang Bin's soul had ever gone through tribulation.

Before this, although Yellow Heaven Tribulation had appeared, it had always been viciously devoured by Zhang Bin into his Dantian, transformed into a special nutrient liquid to strengthen his body.

So there had never been thunder striking his soul.

If it were any other cultivator, they would be utterly despairing.

This kind of tribulation was too terrifying; it was nearly impossible to endure.

The chance of falling was sky‑high.

But Zhang Bin was not alarmed—instead, he was delighted.

Excitement and exhilaration surfaced on his face.

The tribulation appearing in his Moon Palace and directly bombarding his soul was dangerous, yes.

But if he could get through it, his soul would grow much stronger and far more refined.

Without enduring any tribulation, no matter how many cultivation techniques Zhang Bin trained in, his soul could hardly surpass that of cultivators at Ascension Realm Early Stage.

Now, however, he could patch that flaw.

And this was Green Thunder, higher‑tier than Yellow Thunderbolt.

As long as he survived it, his soul's strength could rival that of Ascension Realm Middle Stage cultivators.

For him, the benefit was enormous.

"Perfect timing..."

Zhang Bin shouted excitedly in his heart. His soul also wore a look of wild joy, standing ramrod straight and letting the terrifying Green Thunder bombard him as it pleased.

"Rumble rumble..."

In the sky outside, in the sky of his Moon Palace, thunder was frantically blasting down.

Landing on Zhang Bin's body and Spirit Body.

You could even hear the terrifying thunder roaring out of Zhang Bin's two temples.

Echoing back and forth with the thunder outside, answering each other like a twisted duet.

"Zhang Bin's talent really is terrifying. He seems to have multiple Dantian and can cultivate multiple techniques. He just obtained our Snow Mountain Sect's inheritance, and in such a short time he cultivated to Golden Core Realm. But now he's enduring Green Thunder Tribulation—that's the tribulation you only face at Ascension Realm Middle Stage! And it looks like his soul and body are crossing tribulation at the same time? How is that possible? Isn't that a certain death?" Hopski was the first to shout in shock.

"Hahaha… Then Zhang Bin is dead for sure. This tribulation is too fierce; no one can survive it."

"Heaven must think Zhang Bin's too arrogant, too conceited, so it's going to take his little life."

"Wickedness overflowing, sins well‑deserved—Zhang Bin, dying suits you."

"..."

The many disciples and elders of the Snow Mountain Sect all clapped in glee, grinning savagely.

As if they were already watching the beautiful scene of Zhang Bin turning to ash under the terrifying tribulation.

You couldn't blame them for thinking that way; they knew exactly how terrifying Green Thunder Tribulation was.

A month ago, when Hopski cultivated to Ascension Realm Middle Stage, he had endured Green Thunder Tribulation.

It blasted him for three days and three nights.

It leveled an entire giant mountain into flat ground.

Hopski himself was pushed to the brink of death multiple times, gulping down unknown amounts of Heavenly Earth Elixirs and Special Elixirs.

Only then did he barely, painfully struggle through.

Even so, Hopski's end was misery to the extreme.

His body was completely turned to ash, leaving only a single head.

His soul had also suffered grievous wounds.

Afterward, every expert in their sect moved out, taking turns channeling True Qi into Hopski to heal him.

It took ten days just for Hopski's body to regrow, and another ten days for him to recover.

And that was with Hopski crossing tribulation for body and soul one after the other, meaning his tribulation's power was far weaker than Zhang Bin's.

So they were certain Zhang Bin was doomed.

What's more, even if Zhang Bin didn't die, he'd definitely be half‑dead. A single mouthful of spit from them would be enough to kill him.

With that, how could Zhang Bin have any chance of surviving?

No matter how you calculated it, Zhang Bin was destined to fall here completely.

Zhang Bin's treasures all belonged to them!

"Hehehehe..."

Thinking of their windfall, many people let out indescribably lewd cackles.

"Rumble rumble..."

The thunder grew even denser and more terrifying, packed with boundless killing intent.

It frantically bombarded Zhang Bin's body and soul, determined to annihilate this monstrous freak.

"Body and soul crossing tribulation together really is dangerous."

Zhang Bin muttered in his heart, but a cold smile spread over his face. His mouth suddenly yawned wide.

He took a fierce breath.

Swallowing Heaven in One Breath, unleashing its ferocious might once more!
