Chapter 508: Chapter 506: Seal Master Ning, You Truly Torture This Old Man!
"Nine... Nine-layered Thunder Tribulation???"
Big Stupid Deer’s pupils contracted violently.
Although she had not experienced it herself, she knew what the Nine-layered Thunder Tribulation meant—it was the pinnacle of fortune that Cultivators in the Human World could seek from the heavens!
The Heavenly Tribulation represented the might of the heavens, vast and powerful. The appearance of the Nine-layered Thunder Tribulation indicated that the heavens could not tolerate and greatly desired to strike down the person undergoing the tribulation!
Hence, the deeper a Cultivator’s foundation, the stronger the thunder would be attracted to them!
Those who could invoke the Nine-layered Thunder Tribulation were always prodigies envied by the heavens. It had been tens of thousands of years since any record of such an event in the Eastern Wasteland Cultivation World, yet the people of Wind Snow Tower could hardly believe they were witnessing it with their own eyes!
"Master..."
Bai Feiyu clung to her master Bai Ying’s sleeve, her beautiful eyes filled with astonishment and an expression that read "Seal Master Ning is fricking amazing".
...
"Boom~~~"
Dozens of Thunder Pillars merged together, transforming into a colossal lightning dragon that descended from the skies, ferociously striking upon Ning Daoran’s head with an Empowerment-like force, contorting his mouth and causing saliva to spray wildly.
Pain, such immense pain!
In his hundreds of years of cultivation, Ning Daoran had experienced all types of hardships, but the Ninth Level of the Thunder Tribulation made him almost doubt his life. They say pain ranges from level 0 to 10, but at that moment, Ning Daoran felt he was enduring level 100!
It’s said that the pain of childbirth rates at a level 10, then the pain Ning Daoran was enduring was like giving birth to ten children at once!
Not one after another, but all at once trying to burst out!
The pain was so intense that even his hairs were blasted away...
Ning Daoran stood suspended in the air, his whole body battered and bloodied, emitting a burnt scent. At that moment, as the colossal Thunder Pillar swept over, he looked as though he was about to evaporate from this world.
"Ouch..."
From afar, Shen Luoyan slightly furrowed her elegant brows: "It’s that severe?"
She began to worry slightly—what if Ning Daoran truly perished in this tribulation? He was her future right-hand man and the ideal candidate for the next Tower Master in her heart!
"Boom~~"
The Ninth Level of the Thunder Tribulation transformed into a scorching shockwave that swept across, obliterating Immortal Residence to its very foundations, turning tens of miles into scorched earth, not a blade of grass survived!
...
"It’s over..."
At Wind Snow Tower, everyone was almost suffocating.
"With such a fierce Thunder Tribulation, Seal Master Ning... might be gone already..."
An Elder who had once shared a tea with Ning Daoran showed a sorrowful expression: "Although Seal Master Ning is reticent and reclusive, he is kind-hearted. Despite indulging in pleasures, he’s still a good person. It’s lamentable that such a heavenly-talented individual has perished in the Thunder Tribulation. Alas... My heart aches!"
He stomped his foot and beat his chest, deeply grieved.
"Seal Master Ning..."
Tears almost swirled in Bai Feiyu’s eyes.
Beside her, Li Yinpeng clenched her hands tightly, tears dropping like small pearls down her lovely face.
"No, wait!"
Bai Ying frowned, her sensing ability the strongest among them, and at that moment her Divine Soul captured a whiff of breath, "Seal Master Ning is fine, his breath is still there!"
"What?!!"
The crowd was astonished!
Unfortunately, they could not see through the intricacies of the Nine Revolutions Ruyi Formation, and could only watch the aura of the descending Heavenly Tribulation from afar, able to speculate the situation only by conjecture.
...
Amidst the glow of the Heavenly Tribulation.
A figure slowly rose from the ruins, his hair, eyebrows, and other body hair no longer existed—the Nine-layered Five-Colored Thunder Tribulation was too brutal and had made him truly "bereft of vegetation"!
But at that time, after enduring the Nine-layered Thunder Tribulation, the muscles throughout his body continuously recovered and regenerated, quickly regaining the state where one could gallop a horse on his arm, and his chest could crush stones!
He opened his eyes, and a bright light shot forth from them!
Of course, the biggest change was within the Dantian—the Golden Core Condensed Liquid continuously absorbed the fragments of the Divine Soul, together with the Five-Colored Thunder Tribulation Essence Qi from outside, and now a form was beginning to take shape.
Nascent Soul formation had finally begun!
It was a small person the size of a fist that merged Ning Daoran’s Divine Soul with the Golden Core Condensed Liquid, still in a fetal state with unclear face and limbs.
However, around the Nascent Soul, five Spirit Lights orbited.
These five lights—gold, cyan, black, red, yellow—matched the Five Elements!
And the lights merged into one, forming a hazy Essence Qi absorbed by the Nascent Soul in one breath.
Chaos Qi!
Ning Daoran was astonished, as his yet imperfect Nascent Soul was confirmed to be a Chaos Nascent Soul, inherently capable of controlling the power of Five Elements Unification!
Adding the Nascent Soul Stage’s ability to perceive the void, with this Nascent Soul enhancing his combat ability, how fearsome would that be?!
Yet, at that moment, something unimaginable occurred.
"Crack!"
The rolling dark clouds dispersed, only to quickly condense into a blood-colored cloud layer that spanned dozens of miles, with blood-colored lightning flickering within.
’There’s going to be another Heavenly Tribulation!?’
Ning Daoran was dumbstruck.
...
"What?!"
At Wind Snow Tower, everyone was shocked once more.
"How could this be?"
The Elder who considered himself familiar with Seal Master Ning was flabbergasted: "Hadn’t the tribulation already been successfully transcended? Why is there another Thunder Tribulation?"
"Indeed..."
Bai Ying was also shocked, Ning Daoran had brought her too many surprises, utterly beyond her predictions.
Bai Feiyu and Li Yinpeng both covered their mouths in shock.
For the people of Wind Snow Tower, many experiences that a Great Cultivator would not have in their lifetime had all been encountered by them.
...
"Boom~~~"
A bolt of Heavenly Tribulation descended from the sky, presenting a blood color, containing an extremely strong force of bloodthirsty killing intent!
The moment the Heavenly Tribulation arrived, Ning Daoran already knew it in his heart.
It was the Martial Arts Heavenly Tribulation!
This time, he wasn’t only trying to break through the Gold Core Late Stage, but also the Late-stage Baodan Realm seemed to be naturally breaking through as well!
Such a situation was extremely complicated and unprecedented.
Even Shen Luoyan, who was watching from afar, clicked her tongue in amazement. Shen Luoyan also practiced Dual cultivation of magic and body, but when she advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage, she merged the Cultivation and Blood Qi into one, forming a perfect Nascent Soul, and she did it in two separate occurrences.
A continuous experience through Heavenly Tribulation like Ning Daoran’s was unheard of.
Martial Arts Heavenly Tribulation, withering and eroding everything!
After a bolt of wrathful thunder landed, the entire Dragon Ridge Peak of Wind Snow Tower was trembling and buzzing.
Ning Daoran struggled to resist, his iron fists swung in the air, facing the Heavenly Tribulation head-on!
At this moment, having been remolded by the first Heavenly Tribulation, his physical body was as strong as a Nascent Soul, plus the protection of the Twenty Fifth Layer of Dragon Demon Heart Scripture, he could indeed withstand the Heavenly Tribulation.
However, the five bolts of Heavenly Tribulation were all swift as lightning, striking down one after another without a moment to catch his breath!
In the blink of an eye, it was already the Seventh Level of Thunder Tribulation!
And by this time, Ning Daoran’s entire body was covered in cracks, bleeding uncontrollably, blood spraying everywhere, looking extremely miserable.
"Roar~~~"
Within the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven, the Big Stupid Deer shouted loudly, signaling that big brother must hold on.
Little Bai pursed her red lips, not speaking, but her beautiful eyes were filled with worry.
"Crack!"
A bolt of blood-colored wrathful lightning flickered in the sky, the Eighth Level!
As expected, if nothing went wrong, the Martial Arts Thunder Tribulation would also have nine levels!
Amidst the roaring, the moment the Heavenly Tribulation descended, Ning Daoran’s body seemed as if it was going to shatter, with flesh peeling off from both his arms, and in an instant, only the white bones were left.
’Fuck!’
Ning Daoran was shocked and horrified. He couldn’t just turn into a skeleton after undergoing the tribulation, could he!?
"Come back!"
He roared in a deep voice, using his mana to try to gather his torn flesh back, but it was difficult. The relentless Heavenly Tribulation didn’t stop, countless bolts of lightning fell, and directly evaporated that flesh!
On the contrary, the essence Qi contained in the Martial Arts Thunder Tribulation kept adhering to the white bones, forming a new layer of flesh, which shone brightly.
Why does it feel like a rebirth of Nezha?
Ning Daoran was almost numb, and at this time, his aura was also weakened to a flicker by the Thunder Tribulation.
He hurriedly poured all kinds of life-extending elixir pills into his mouth, even Foundation Establishment Pills and Dust-falling Pills were thrown in a few...
...
"Boom——"
A blood-colored pillar of light spread out from the center of Immortal Residence, the majestic heavenly might tearing everything apart!
On top of Wind Snow Tower, everyone was stunned.
"It’s over... All is lost!"
An Elder familiar with Seal Master Ning slapped his thighs red: "Seal Master Ning, you were a prodigy that drew such envy from heaven, but in the end, you still couldn’t make it through, it truly pains me too!"
He stamped his feet and beat his chest, more upset than if he had failed a tribulation himself.
"Seal Master Ning..."
Bai Feiyu’s eyes were red-rimmed.
Li Yinpeng cried again.
Everyone on Wind Snow Tower fell silent.
...
"Crack!"
Above Immortal Residence, within the blood-colored clouds, a bolt of Golden Thunder sparkled.
The Ninth Level!
And the Ninth Level came with a pure Golden Thunder!
"Boom——"
The sky changed color, the mountains and rivers resounded!
The moment the Ninth Level of Martial Arts Thunder Tribulation fell, within the majestic atmosphere of the Thunder Tribulation in the air, a dilapidated figure slowly stood up, it was Ning Daoran.
Before he could straighten his back, his body was suppressed by a massive bolt of Golden Thunder!
"Peng~~~"
A loud bang, the terrifying heavenly might turned into a golden storm sweeping the land, spreading outward from Immortal Residence, sweeping the vicinity, breaking through both the Kunpeng Echo Formation and Falling Star Array, two Fourth-Order Arrays, and finally hitting the Nine Revolutions Ruyi Formation. Even with its robust array power, cracks appeared on the array walls from the impact.
Afterward, within a few miles of Immortal Residence, Thunder Tribulation Essence Qi lingered in the air, forming an impenetrable mist, with lightning flashes within, looking incredibly stunning.
It was also at this time that Ning Daoran’s aura completely vanished between heaven and earth.
...
If the Eighth Level Lightning Tribulation had severely damaged Ning Daoran, making it seem as though his tribulation would fail, then everyone still harbored a glimmer of hope in their hearts, but the arrival of the Ninth Level Lightning Tribulation was like shattering the last hopes of everyone.
Ning Daoran had already reached the brink of death after enduring the Eighth Level of the Heavenly Tribulation. Now that the Ninth Level swept past, how could there be any reason for survival?
Atop Wind Snow Tower, everyone stood there dumbly.
"Seal Master Ning..."
Bai Feiyu and Li Yinpeng stood side by side, tears sliding down from both their faces in unison. Seal Master Ning, although a reserved genius who failed the tribulation, his last spectacular performance was enough to leave a lifetime impression on these two young female cultivators, making it unforgettable. Such a prodigy should not have met this end—it was truly a case of the heavens being jealous of geniuses!
