Chapter 1039: Chapter 1059: Isn’t This Thunder Tribulation Too Exaggerated?!_1

He vaguely saw the shadow of the Taoist gate.

Two Wudao Fruits, six days.

He stood in front of the door, clearly seeing it, and even pushed a crack open.

Three Wudao Fruits.

On the seventh day, he pushed the door halfway open.

On the eighth day, he opened the door completely and saw the heaven and earth behind it.

On the ninth day, he stepped into it.

Suddenly, the sky changed.

At a distance, the group of bandits with minor injuries had healed. They whispered while watching the motionless valley from afar.

"Today is the tenth day, right?"

"Yes, the duration of the Black Profound Stone Essence Bead is only ten days. If he doesn’t make a breakthrough today, I’m afraid his attempt will be a failure."

"It’s strange, it’s already been nine days, and there’s no sign of movement."

"Sigh, what do you think his background is? He’s clearly a Nascent Soul, but he feels strong. He can easily face the Void stage without fear."

"He has talent, if you could defeat several Void stage opponents, you wouldn’t be afraid of them either."

As the people were discussing, the sky suddenly became windy.

A strong wind.

"What’s with this sudden wind?"

"Look at the sky!"

Someone exclaimed, and everyone looked up to see the sky rapidly changing.

The sky quickly darkened, and the clouds transformed into thick layers of dark clouds, overlapping like mountains.

It was a sunny day, yet within a range of a hundred miles, dark clouds suddenly covered the sky.

"Boom!"

A deep thunder sounded in the air like a muffled drumbeat, and flashes of lightning began to flicker in the thick clouds, barely visible.

"Thunder Tribulation!"

"The center of the Thunder Tribulation is precisely where Lin Chu is. He’s made a breakthrough and is about to face the Thunder Tribulation!"

"He broke through!"

Everyone shouted in surprise, and even Yelü Yuan and Gao Yi came out of the cave, looking up at the sky.

Gao Yi said solemnly, "He succeeded."

Yelü Yuan replied, "Success will only come after passing the Thunder Tribulation."

Above the Nascent Soul stage, promotion required facing Thunder Tribulation. If one could not withstand the heavenly thunder, they would be directly annihilated and lose their path.

Although each promotion was a good thing, the Thunder Tribulation was a hurdle.

A deadly hurdle!

Not every cultivator could successfully pass Thunder Tribulation. The stronger one’s strength, the greater the Thunder Tribulation’s power, and the less likely a successful promotion.

Someone roughly estimated that about 60% of Nascent Souls successfully advance to the Transforming God stage, whereas only 20% of Transforming Gods advance to the Void stage through the Thunder Tribulation. The rest who fail the Tribulation vanish into thin air, which is why cultivators risk their lives and defy the heavens.

The dark clouds became thicker and spread more extensive, and with a violent wind, they formed a massive hole. Lightning flickered within the hole, giving off an immense sense of oppression.

Lin Chen took off from his hiding place and flew toward the vast opening filled with lightning in the sky.

Lin Chen’s action seemed to anger the heavens. The hole of lightning flashed rapidly, and a lightning bolt thicker than a water barrel struck Lin Chen’s head.

Lin Chen levitated in the air without drawing his sword nor using any Magical Treasure, allowing the lightning to strike his head.

Lin Chen’s body was filled with surging Spiritual energy and Sword Qi. As he moved, the lightning struck and was directly shattered by the Sword Qi.

Everyone’s eyes widened at the sight.

"Damn, he didn’t even budge, that’s quite ferocious!"

"The first lightning bolt is already this thick? Do you guys remember the Thunder Tribulation when you advanced to the Transforming God stage?"

"My first three Thunder Tribulations were like thin snakes, far less powerful than his. It feels like it’d take at least five or six Tribulations for them to be this thick!"

"Yeah, I remember it being similar. His first Tribulation is already so intense. How can he withstand the more intense ones coming up?"

"The size of the Thunder Tribulation is related to the strength of the individual facing it. The stronger they are, the more powerful the Tribulation. Based on this, Lin Chu’s strength may have already surpassed that of Nascent Soul and could be considered Transforming God."

"Amazing, he was already this powerful in the Nascent Soul stage. After advancing to Transforming God, his strength should be even more terrifying!"

Amidst the various discussions, the second Thunder Tribulation descended. This time, several lightning bolts struck Lin Chen simultaneously.

Lin Chen remained motionless and only relied on the Sword Qi from his body to resist the Tribulation.

He noticed that the Thunder Tribulation this time had an impressive line-up!

The third, fourth, and fifth.

Three consecutive Thunder Tribulations fell, each more powerful than the last. By the fifth Tribulation, it was no longer individual lightning bolts, but rather a column of lightning several meters in diameter!

The column of lightning fell from the sky and enveloped Lin Chen, completely engulfing him in the blinding white light of the lightning. The scene made everyone’s eyes twitch.

"This is only the fifth Tribulation. Even our ninth Tribulation during our advancement wasn’t this exaggerated, right?"
