Chapter 594: Chapter 195 Ren Kui Thunder (Extra for Monthly Ticket)

An Jing’s heart was racing as the secret technique "Nine Tribulations Ascension" rapidly spun into action.

The so-called Tribulation directly stemmed from the Heavenly Dao, a feedback from the world itself.

This feedback could be punishment, encouragement, or even a Heavenly Revelation. In essence, it was unchanging in its attribute: [Originating from Heaven, reaching directly to the Dao].

Within a Heavenly Tribulation, lies the fundamental essence of the operation of the Heavenly Dao, which itself encompasses the vastness of the Heaven and Earth Dao, providing a rare channel for direct ’communication’ with its supporters and challengers.

To put it simply, it’s like the illusive will of Heaven and Earth, which under normal circumstances would absolutely have no contact with humans.

Unless It truly materialized a giant palm and delivered a slap.

That slap would be the Heavenly Tribulation; setting aside whether the slap hurt, the fact that one could experience such contact provided a chance to perceive the origin of the power of the slap, the whereabouts of the Heavenly Dao issuing it, and whether the opponent was truly punishing or merely patting oneself on the face as a signal to keep up the good work—merely because the power of Heaven and Earth was so immense it felt like being slapped.

The tribulation serves as stairs to ascension.

Those close to Heaven and Earth can use it to approach the Dao, just like the Embracing the Void Dragon Clan inheriting the Ancestral Dragon’s cultivation, exploiting the intricacies therein to resonate with Heaven and Earth using the True Spirit method, thus allowing their descendants to be closer to Heaven and Earth, communicate through the ’Tribulation’, receive Heavenly Dao’s rewards, and resonate with the Dao True Intent.

However, tribulations vary in strength; weaker ones lack sufficient essence, making accumulation useless, whereas surviving a potent tribulation even once is considered extreme luck—surviving it nine times seems impossible.

Jin Yanhua relies on Nine Tribulations Ascension, harnessing the experience of Heavenly Tribulations to sense related Dao essences preemptively.

Her strength is Divine Repository, and at this level, the Dragon Clan’s innate gifts still provide significant aid in countering the power of Heavenly Tribulations, and the Dao essences she contains are plentiful enough to allow practitioners of secret techniques to breakthrough across levels.

But should she reach Manifesting Holy, when the Great Heavenly Tribulation descends, although the essences might be abundant, whether one survives to assimilate them is another matter. Not to mention, not so much Dao essence is necessary for cultivation—those gifted realize it in the first few tribulations, and those not gifted cannot endure nine.

Thus, the nine in Nine Tribulations fundamentally suggests an arbitrary number; if one doesn’t mind the trouble, the more strikes endured from the lightning, the greater the gains.

But this time, An Jing was different.

He had been facing Heavenly Tribulations since Qi Refinement, which aside from indicating his exceeding the normal Heavenly Mandate, also significantly represented the favor of the Heavenly Dao.

"So that’s how it is!"

With a loud laugh, fully grasping the essence of the secret technique, even more profoundly than many dragons, An Jing did not stay put but soared into the skies: "Then I truly cannot waste the goodwill extended by the Tianyuan Realm!"

At this moment, the second wave of Heavenly Tribulation had descended, with the cloud vortex dividing into two swirling currents on the inside and outside, the inner rotating left and the outer right, like the most terrifying grinding machine, containing immensely fearsome power.

It struck again, and this time the thunder vaporized the rain into a mist, but this mist did not rise but instead fell with the thunder light, deepening into a mysterious and profound color, like a vast, cascading ink-blue Heavenly River!

Water is said to nurture below, this is the Ren Kui Thunder!

Dispensing with Qi Soldiers, An Jing did not weaken the Heavenly Tribulation, nor did he direct it into the earth to bear it; he leaped into mid-air, aiming to fully experience all that the Heavenly Tribulation offered!

Boom!

In mid-air, the circular shockwave exploded, its waves sweeping across all directions, dispelling all smoke, rain, and dust.

The Ren Kui Thunder, falling like a Heavenly River, made direct and intense contact with both An Jing’s flesh and his Protective Body Fiendish Qi, yet An Jing’s figure did not retreat half a step under the bombardment of the Heavenly Tribulation, standing staunchly in place!

Much of the Ren Kui Thunder raining down like a Heavenly River was repelled by An Jing’s Taibai Luminous Godly Ban’s Protective Body Fiendish Qi, and the terrifying impact was mitigated by the Flesh and Blood and Spiritual Fiend that had completed Proving Staunch White and Resonating Shang Sound, turning into Ren Kui Essence swirling around An Jing.

But within that vast and raging thunder light, many of the purest Ren Kui Thunder intents still penetrated An Jing’s defenses, reaching his body.

In that instant, An Jing’s whole body was enveloped in thunder light, his flesh and muscles turned translucent; his body appeared like glass, ancient as white jade, his organs clear as crystal, with thunder light penetrating every part of his body inside and out.

It seemed mystical, yet it was akin to being pierced by ten thousand swords; the endless and fearsome thunder light even penetrated the soul, bringing pain far surpassing the limits of the flesh!

But this, is exactly the mystery of the "Nine Tribulations Ascension"!

It sounds simple.

First, withstand the Heavenly Tribulation, endure the pain, and ensure the body remains unharmed.

Next, use the body as a crucible to temper its essence.

Finally, assimilate it!

"I’ve swallowed Demonic Qi, how could Spiritual Fiend be insufficient!"

Among the thunder light, An Jing’s hair has already burned like flames, and in the endless scorching thunder light, his blood has evaporated. What flows within him now is the purest Blood Fiend—this is already the realm of the ’Martial Meridian Realm’ of ’Hundred Breakthroughs and Refinements Corresponding to Earth Veins,’ a sign of the mortal body completely transforming into a body of Spiritual Fiend.

For others, this is considered perfection, but An Jing is different, he knows that his Spiritual Fiend body should, just like his Divine Abnormality, consist of gold as bones, fire as blood, wood as meridians, water as vitality, and earth as flesh and blood.

Golden bones are sturdy, fiery blood is blazing. Now, the Ren Kui Thunder is penetrating An Jing’s entire body, like the thunder of a spring rain, bursting forth endless vitality within An Jing’s body!

At this moment, inside An Jing, the shadowy figure of Ruo Wood is rapidly materializing, bathing in the rain of thunder light. This seed of the Spirit Root is growing, becoming stronger, and has climbed a notch.

As the Ruo Wood grows stronger, a bubbling stream flows out from its root system, turning into a creek that still appears somewhat feeble, flowing into the ’Ancestral Dragon Seed’.

The previously slowly developing Ancestral Dragon Seed, having received the critical nourishment it lacked, suddenly became more translucent and its growth improved.

But soon, the second tribulation will end.

An Jing forcibly withstood this tribulation, fully embraced its True Intent, but it wasn’t enough.

"There’s the third strike of thunder... the final wave of this Heavenly Tribulation!"

Opening his eyes, at this moment, An Jing’s gaze is substantial as he breathes in the void. He raises his head, gazing towards the top of the Heavenly Dome, which has transformed into an upside-down funnel shape.

The endless fierce thunder light even condensed into a thunderball. This dark azure thunderball seems like the pupil of an eye, or a special spherical lightning, it gathers the essence of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Evil around it, turning into the most fearsome Yin Yang Ren Kui Thunder, targeting An Jing.

Very dangerous.

His current condition isn’t good, the armor made from his Golden Qi is shattered, and his body is covered with open cuts and burst flesh, only slightly better than the injuries sustained during his great battle with the Divine Repository Swordsman.

But in fact, the newly born Ruo Wood Water inside An Jing’s body has begun to spread, nourishing his flesh and organs, as long as he can utilize this force originating from the same source as the Heavenly Tribulation, overcoming this ordeal wouldn’t be difficult.

In fact, if he only wanted to pass through, rather than complete the secret technique of "Nine Tribulations Ascension," An Jing could now gather his strength to strike with his sword, breaking this thunder, preventing the thunderball from descending in its perfect state.

Or use the Primordial Spirit Sword Lotus to easily resist and pass the Heavenly Tribulation.

"How enthusiastic."

But now, An Jing spreads his arms wide, as if embracing the vast sky, freely smiling, "Then come, with such a fervent welcome, how can I not respond with all my might!"

The spherical thunder rolls eternally, Yang as Ren, Yin as Kui, dark azure intertwined, motion and stillness divided, millions of thunder lights condensed within, allowing the dark azure thunder light to ripple across the Heavenly Sea like endless waves of water color, brightening the dark and dim sky, like a thunderous sun.

It descends, and An Jing is engulfed by the brilliant thunder light like a tide.

[Hm?]

Xuanye City, Sky Surveillance Bureau.

A venerable True Lord, currently with closed eyes meditating in seclusion within the Spiritual Network, slightly tilts his head towards the direction of the Floating Dust Plains, his face showing confusion: [Who?]

[Who is undergoing the Thirty-Nine Heavenly Tribulation?]
