Chapter 838: Chapter 837: The Legendary Cross the Tribulation

Using the spiritual power stolen with the Spirit Gathering Technique, not only did the Soul Bead shine with a dazzling brilliance, but Yusuf Zuck also discovered that all nine Nascent Souls were simultaneously nourished. In just an instant, Yusuf Zuck felt an urge to break through; he was about to Return to Void!

With a "hum," just as Yusuf Zuck was carefully sensing this, all of a sudden, the Soul Bead deep in his mind gave a fierce jolt, and then his shadow appeared again, quite blurry, seemingly unable to form properly, that shadow shaking incessantly, looking as if it could shatter at any moment.

Moreover, this shadow absorbed all the spiritual power that had just been drawn into the Soul Bead, leaving it empty once again.

"Hmm?" Yusuf Zuck abruptly opened his eyes, for he felt a connection, a soulful bond, a sense of you in me and me in you. That shadow was himself, a brand-new self, only it had yet to grow and even its form had not completely come together.

"What is this?" Yusuf Zuck was incredibly curious, "Could this be the Primordial Spirit? Or perhaps an avatar? Crafted purely from spiritual power?" His heart pounded rapidly with excitement because, at that moment, he suddenly remembered the so-called spiritual travel into the great void spoken of by that dragon!

Could this faint silhouette emerging within his Soul Bead be his own ’divine self’?

"It’s a good thing!" Yusuf Zuck knew that whether it was the condensed Soul Bead or the shadow within it, for himself, it was absolutely a good thing. This was a unique life form beyond the Nascent Souls, a miraculous life form that no other cultivators possessed, only he did.

It was truly mystical!

"Hmm, continue!" Yusuf Zuck continued his northwest flight. Since the spiritual power stolen could strengthen his soul and even increase his cultivation level, it was a tremendous boon, thus he had no reason not to absorb more!

Because only by absorbing more could he glide through space-time more naturally in the future, and when using telekinetic hypnosis, become even more powerful!

He vaguely understood that the Soul Bead was the place to accumulate or nurture his divine soul!

After a short time, he arrived at Sichuan’s Leshan, and from a distance, he saw a gigantic statue.

He remembered that this was the Leshan Giant Buddha, supposedly the tallest and largest in the country.

Of course, with the naked eye alone, one could not discern the Power of Faith emanating from the Buddha statue, so he opened his Spiritual Eye once more!

And the moment he activated his Spiritual Eye, he was staggered by the overwhelming and surging divine wishing power from the statue, sending him retreating again and again, to the point where he couldn’t even keep his eyes open.

The spiritual power of this statue was a thousand times more potent than the one in the South Sea. After activating his Spiritual Eye, all he saw were streaks of golden light, like dragons winding around.

"Could there really be a Buddha in this world? Amitabha!" Yusuf Zuck took a deep breath, then forcefully exhaled and vocally absorbed the Power of Faith from the statue using the most direct and crudest method!

"Gulp gulp gulp—" After swallowing thrice consecutively, the golden glow on the statue finally faded away, while the Soul Bead deep within his mind shook once again. Then he saw the shadow within the Soul Bead becoming more solid, tightening, and consolidating, gradually revealing his own facial features, however, it still had not achieved a lifelike state, it was still just a shadow!

"Hum hum hum—" The beneficiaries were not only his own shadow but also his Nascent Souls, which finally broke through. The sheer magnitude of the Power of Faith consumed caused a portion of the spiritual power to rush into the Dantian; thus, the nine Nascent Souls there began to tremble, and a flicker of golden light shone above the head of each Nascent Soul!

In an instant, Yusuf Zuck sensed the impending tribulation, a peculiar sensation of pressure, palpitations, and urgency!

"Let’s go!" Yusuf Zuck didn’t have time to contemplate and, after several quick leaps, he was once again over the South Sea.

He didn’t use Telekinesis to traverse because each teleportation would consume his spiritual power. Previously unaware, he had been basically overusing it, and it was only thanks to his subjugation of many powerful demons that their loyalty generated some Power of Faith for him, preventing his rapid aging.

Moreover, the previous instances of Thought Overlay had only been short-range, and even though it exhausted his spiritual power, he hadn’t reached the point of diminishing his life span.

But now things were different. As the area covered by his Telekinesis grew ever larger, his spiritual power was stretched thin. The loyalty and Power of Faith congregated by a few great demons and close friends and family were no longer sufficient to support him in using his Telekinesis indiscriminately over long distances and large areas.

One hundred forty-one thousand li compared to forty-seven thousand li; the difference was threefold. Thus, he had to be frugal in the future, otherwise he would likely end up with completely white hair, an aged body, and in the worst-case scenario, death from burned-out vitality!

Of course, he also needed to collect or steal the Power of Faith as much as possible, or perhaps establish his own powerful Sect so that countless people would worship him and his spiritual power would continue to converge towards him.

"Boom—" Not long after arriving above the South Sea, the Tribulation of Returning to Void indeed arrived—it was the Sixty-Nine Heavenly Tribulation. Ordinary cultivators only had to cross fifty-four strikes, but he had to endure nine times more!

Watching the thunderbolts that were striking down, Yusuf Zuck remained completely still. Despite his low Cultivation Realm, his physical strength was in fact equivalent to that of an Earth Immortal, so even standing still, the thunderbolts couldn’t shatter him.

His physical body had long since shed the confines of the mortal coil, but what exactly it was, he didn’t know. After all, every time a Blood Bead was opened, his body would reconstitute itself. When the tenth Blood Bead was opened, it even underwent the baptism of purple lightning, so the mere thunderbolts of the Tribulation of Returning to Void couldn’t damage his body!

Dark clouds shrouded the sky, and Yusuf Zuck stood beneath the tribulation clouds, allowing strike after strike of lightning to hammer down upon him. He neither moved nor dodged, even considering other matters as he endured the tribulation, to the extent that halfway through, a massive object suddenly emerged from the sea surface, the sound of the water giving him quite a fright.

That colossal object wasn’t a fish but a pitch-black submarine. Whether it was nuclear-powered or not, he couldn’t tell, but the flag atop the submarine bore five stars!

Seeing the red flag with five stars, Yusuf Zuck took a deep breath and waved at the submarine!

The submarine had clearly surfaced to investigate the situation, so when Yusuf Zuck waved, the submarine suddenly plunged downward again.

Inside the submarine, many were feeling chills down their spines, ceaselessly contacting the command center and transmitting the recently captured video back to the control center, waiting for further instructions.

The response from the control center was swift. In less than three minutes, the military commission issued a secret order: keep a distance, protect the area, prevent any foreign ships and vessels from approaching, and capture as much footage as possible.

The submarine quickly moved away, then surfaced again ten nautical miles out. It covered the surroundings with its radar, closely monitoring while also starting long-distance recording. The video feed was immediately sent back to the control center, and then on to the military commission.

Devin King was among those who’d received an urgent notification to come to the military commission’s office. The office wasn’t large, with just over a dozen generals and the Number One Chief also present. They were sipping tea while watching the LCD screen.

"Damn it, Yusuf Zuck is getting struck by lightning!" Devin King swallowed hard.

"What’s the situation here? Can anyone explain?" the Number One Chief asked indifferently.

"This must be the legendary Crossing the Tribulation. Yusuf Zuck is enduring the Heavenly tribulation," Devin King immediately replied.

"I really want to meet him. Try to arrange a meeting," the Chief said with interest.

"Yes, I’ll try to arrange it!" Devin King said, caught between laughter and tears. Yusuf Zuck had previously refused, but since the Chief wanted to meet him again, Devin had no choice but to try to persuade him. If he couldn’t convince Yusuf Zuck, he’d try to convince Ember Vance, persuade Yusuf’s grandfather, his sister, or someone else close to him.

In any case, this was the second time the Chief wanted to meet him, and this time, Devin had to make sure that the meeting happened!
