NOVPUBHowever, what weighed heavy on his heart was the obscure aura within the thunderclouds; he couldn’t be certain of the potency of the Thunder Tribulation that was about to strike.
"Let me have a look."
Shen Ying suddenly spoke up.
He immediately closed his eyes.
Shortly after, he suddenly let out a grunt, violently opening his eyes.
His gaze swept across the thunderclouds in the sky, a hint of apprehension in his eyes.
"Martial Uncle?"
Wang Ba looked towards Shen Ying with a solemn expression.
Shen Ying shook his head:
"Using my Dao Secret to wrap around my Spiritual Sense for probing, I was repelled... However, the force of the Thunder Tribulation contained within should not be too great."
Upon hearing this, Wang Ba felt somewhat reassured.
He then said, "Thank you, Martial Uncle. Please stay back for now."
Shen Ying nodded and advised,
"If you sense it’s not going well, give up immediately."
Wang Ba nodded in agreement, understanding Shen Ying’s meaning.
If he felt he couldn’t withstand it, he would directly destroy the Primordial Fetus, thus the Thunder Tribulation would naturally dissipate. 𝘯𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
He quickly checked the various treasures inside his Storage Treasure, and then felt the condition of his body.
And just at that moment, accompanied by a booming rumble from the thunderclouds, a purple lightning bolt, which had been brewing for a while, finally struck down!
Feeling the potency of the Thunder Tribulation, Shen Ying’s expression grew more solemn.
"It may not be as strong as the Nascent Soul Tribulation, but it’s not far off... My Martial Nephew might have a hard time."
The terror of the tribulation thunder lies in its ability to breach almost all of the cultivator’s defenses. In most cases, one can only rely on the robustness of their cultivation base to withstand it.
Although Martial Nephew Wang is exceptional in magical combat, after all, he relies on external objects, and he is still a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator. Moreover, Crossing Tribulation is not the same as magical combat.
However, he soon showed a look of surprise.
Facing the Thunder Tribulation, Wang Ba actually flew up to meet it head-on.
"Is he trying to prevent the Thunder Tribulation from damaging this Incarnation?"
"But that seems a bit like a penny-wise, pound-foolish move."
Such a thought couldn’t help but rise in Shen Ying’s mind.
While such a talented Incarnation is indeed precious, in the end, it is just an Incarnation.
An Incarnation depends on the existence of the main body; if the main body is gone, the Incarnation naturally ceases to exist.
However, he was quickly captivated by Wang Ba once again.
Wang Ba’s face did not show the slightest fear; rather, he seemed to be looking forward to the experience.
"Hmm?"
Shen Ying was slightly puzzled.
He then saw Wang Ba retract the light around his body, and as the lightning struck him, no signs of scorching or wounds were visible, only electric arcs jumping across his flesh.
"Body Cultivation... Shenti Peak? No wonder," Shen Ying realized suddenly.
As the culmination of the sect’s methods of Body Cultivation, Shenti Peak’s legacy included methods for using Thunder Tribulation to temper the body.
Shen Ying, although he had not studied them, still knew a bit about them.
However, he soon couldn’t help but frown:
"My Martial Nephew is taking a bit too much for granted. This Thunder Tribulation is not to be underestimated. Although he has withstood this strike, this is just the easiest one..."
On Wang Ba’s side, while using the Thunder Tribulation to temper his body, he faintly sensed that his already peak-conditioned body seemed to have improved a sliver.
A trace of joy immediately arose in his heart.
"Before, I had already tempered my body to Perfect Foundation Establishment, and coupled with the refinement of the body during my realm breakthrough, my body is actually a bit stronger than the common Thunder Body."
"This is good, but it’s also problematic... I had hoped to break through to the Golden Core stage previously, but unfortunately, the subsequent Golden Core Thunder Tribulation would not push my body to its limits. However, the stronger Nascent Soul Tribulation isn’t something I dare to withstand in its entirety either. This Thunder Tribulation, however, is just right."
"I only hope that this Thunder Tribulation will be more substantial."
Wang Ba thought silently to himself.
While contemplating this, his body swiftly absorbed the power of the lightning.
The "Natural Law: Thunder Body" and the "Dragon-Tiger Yuankan Method" were both in operation almost simultaneously.
Under the influence of these two Dao Laws,
Part of it merged into the body, stimulating the condensation of Qi and Blood.
Another part flowed into the already peak-full Thunder Style Dantian.
The Thunder Style Dantian was already at Perfect Foundation Establishment. He had spent ten years in seclusion, pondering and contemplating, yet had always been unable to integrate it into the Golden Core.
But now, with the surge of the power from the lightning strikes, there was a sensation of overflowing.
His heart was also unwittingly filled with some inexplicable insight.
Soon, the Second Lightning Tribulation came, then the third...
One after another, the lightning kept striking down.
In succession, nine strikes.
But each subsequent strike was stronger than what Wang Ba had originally anticipated.
Even with a body surpassing the average cultivator at Perfect Foundation Establishment in Body Cultivation, he still felt tremendous strain.
On the surface of his body, shocking scorches arose, emitting wisps of green smoke.
Fortunately, Wang Ba forcibly disconnected his five senses, and so did not feel the pain.
Not far outside the thunderclouds,
Shen Ying watched Wang Ba with a serious expression.
As expected, it turned out just as he had anticipated, no, it even exceeded his expectations.
The potency of this Thunder Tribulation was now no less than that of a typical Nascent Soul Tribulation.
And the fact that Wang Ba could endure with only his physique until now far exceeded his expectations.
But he could also feel that Wang Ba’s body was about to reach its limit.
If he continued to withstand it, it would likely lead to disaster.
With this in mind, Shen Ying quietly gathered his Mana, ready to intervene at any moment.
Under his watchful eye,
Wang Ba sat cross-legged in mid-air, eagerly replenishing Spirit Food during the intervals of the Thunder Tribulation’s brewing.
Throughout the process,
Every inch of his skin, every bit of flesh, every bone, seemed to have merged with countless powers of the thunder.
Under the previous nine strikes of the Thunder Tribulation, his body was like a piece of high-quality spirit mine, being repeatedly hammered and refined.
Despite being shattered, the Qi and Blood within his body also soared at an astonishing pace.
Wang Ba thirstily drank the Spirit Chicken Essence, replenishing his Qi and Blood, and Essence Yuan.
