Chapter 503: Xiao Li's Tribulation, All Abilities Unleashed
Chapter 503: Xiao Li's Tribulation, All Abilities Unleashed
Deep within the Ten Thousand Great Mountains.
The same mountain peak where Lu Qing and the old doctor once overcame the Golden Core Tribulation.
After enduring two heavenly tribulations, the once magnificent and towering peak was now mostly flattened by the tribulation lightning. Compared to the surrounding peaks, it was now noticeably shorter.
Ten years had passed, and the mountain peak, once scorched to a crisp by the tribulation lightning, had once again become lush and verdant with new growth.
"Do you two really want to undergo the tribulation here?"
Lu Qing asked with a hint of exasperation.
"Yes!"
The two young ones nodded vigorously.
Xiao Li, with excitement, said, "Ah Qing and Grandpa Chen both successfully overcame their tribulations here. It’s clear that this place is a blessed site for tribulations! We will definitely succeed if we do it here too!"
Lu Qing: …
He wanted to say that he had chosen this mountain peak for no particular reason, just a random choice. However, seeing Xiao Li and Wu Xing’s serious expressions, he felt it would be wrong to say anything.
Mental state is crucial during the tribulation. The confidence of these two young ones was a good sign.
So he nodded, "Very well, then. Adjust your breathing and prepare to begin the tribulation."
"Yes!"
Xiao Li and Wu Xing obediently sat down to meditate, quickly bringing themselves to their peak condition.
"Ah Qing, we’re ready to start anytime!" Xiao Li said enthusiastically.
"Alright, who will go first?"
"I’ll go first, I can’t let this stinky snake take the lead!" Xiao Li immediately replied.
Wu Xing remained silent, tacitly agreeing.
They had been together for ten years, and he had long gotten used to deferring to Xiao Li. When the big sister speaks, he naturally wouldn’t dare to go first.
"Then Xiao Li will go first."
Lu Qing had no objections; it didn’t matter who went first.
After giving Xiao Li a few words of advice, he prepared to take Xiao Yan and Wu Xing to another peak.
"Xiao Li, good luck!"
Before leaving, Xiao Yan clenched her fists and cheered Xiao Li on.
As Lu Qing and the others reached the next peak, a thunderclap echoed through the air.
A massive tribulation cloud vortex slowly appeared in the sky, exuding overwhelming heavenly authority.
"Quite efficient."
Lu Qing smiled, quite satisfied. For cultivators, hesitation during the tribulation is the greatest taboo. Xiao Li’s confident mindset increased her chances of success.
"I wonder what level of tribulation cloud Xiao Li will face."
According to the ancient texts he had obtained from the two celestial visitors, the will of heaven treats all beings equally, including spirit beasts and demon beasts. The tribulation for each has different levels, and the quality of the demon core formed depends on the level of the tribulation.
The huge tribulation cloud vortex slowly rotated. When the cloud finally condensed, the golden hue confirmed Lu Qing’s expectations.
Xiao Li, being a Night Spirit Lynx, had an extraordinary lineage. Since following him, she had gained several opportunities, awakening several innate abilities. Recently, she had even refined the Dragon Turtle True Blood, further transforming her lineage and gaining a hint of the potential to become a true dragon.
With such a foundation and accumulation, the tribulation cloud she faced could not be ordinary.
However, once the level of the tribulation cloud was clear, Lu Qing couldn’t help but feel a bit worried.
The power of the golden tribulation lightning was terrifying. His master had nearly failed the last time.
Although Xiao Li’s foundation was strong, it didn’t guarantee she would successfully overcome this tribulation.
As Lu Qing watched anxiously, the golden hue of the tribulation cloud grew more intense. Finally, the lightning converged, and a golden bolt of tribulation lightning struck down.
Boom!
The lightning spread, and the mountain peak, which had recovered much of its vitality, was once again scorched to a crisp.
As expected, Xiao Li easily blocked the first bolt of tribulation lightning without using any spiritual energy, relying solely on her physical strength.
As a spirit beast, her physical body was naturally very robust. After her lineage had undergone several transformations, especially after refining the Dragon Turtle True Blood, her strength had significantly increased.
Xiao Li’s physical strength, though still a notch below Wu Xing’s, was no longer inferior to that of an ordinary Core Formation Realm spirit beast.
Thus, when the first tribulation lightning struck, it couldn’t even break through Xiao Li’s fur, easily dissipating.
"Looks like things aren’t too bad."
Seeing Xiao Li handle the first tribulation lightning so effortlessly, Lu Qing felt a significant weight lift from his heart.
At this rate, Xiao Li should have no problem with the first few waves of tribulation lightning.
Indeed, things unfolded as Lu Qing had anticipated.
Xiao Li sailed through the first three waves of tribulation lightning with ease.
However, by the fourth wave, things started to get tough. Xiao Li’s body began to show signs of damage, and it had to use spiritual energy to resist.
Even so, by the sixth wave, Xiao Li was already showing signs of fatigue and had to resort to using magic treasures to withstand the heavenly tribulation.
Yes, magic treasures.
While spirit beasts often rely on their physical strength and innate abilities in battle, they can also use magic treasures.
For this tribulation, Lu Qing had thoroughly prepared Xiao Li and Wu Xing, providing them with numerous magic treasures to maximize their chances of success.
"Does Xiao Li’s tribulation lightning also go beyond six waves?"
Seeing Xiao Li manage to block the sixth wave of tribulation lightning at the cost of a low-grade magic treasure, Lu Qing’s gaze turned to the still lingering tribulation cloud, his heart tightening once more.
Based on his master’s experience, once the golden cloud tribulation reaches the seventh wave, its power increases exponentially.
Even with his master’s accumulated strength, he had nearly perished in the eighth wave.
If Xiao Li’s tribulation lightning also surpasses six waves, that’s not a good sign.
"Fortunately, Xiao Li still has a few aces up her sleeve. She should be able to hold on."
Despite this, Lu Qing remained vigilant, closely monitoring Xiao Li’s condition.
If she truly couldn’t hold on, he was ready to intervene at any moment.
Under Lu Qing’s watchful eye, Xiao Li managed to survive the seventh wave of tribulation lightning at the cost of all her magic treasures.
She then used her incredibly sharp and resilient claws to resist the tribulation lightning, nearly destroying them in the process, but ultimately enduring the eighth wave.
"Eight waves of tribulation lightning, and the cloud still hasn’t dissipated?"
Lu Qing looked at Xiao Li, who was now covered in injuries, with almost no fur left intact and her energy significantly depleted. His expression grew incredibly serious.
After eight waves, the tribulation cloud not only remained but grew even more intense.
Indeed, Xiao Li’s tribulation lightning was the highest level: the ninefold golden cloud tribulation.
However, his master had the Light of Merit to help dispel the ninth wave.
Xiao Li had no such protection and would have to rely solely on her own strength to survive this tribulation.
But the ninth wave was a terrifying tribulation that even his master had no confidence in overcoming. Could Xiao Li make it through?
At this thought, even Lu Qing, with his cultivated mindset, couldn’t help but feel a surge of tension.
As for Xiao Yan and Wu Xing, they hardly dared to breathe, silently praying for Xiao Li’s safety.
Beneath the tribulation cloud vortex, Xiao Li knew she was about to face the most powerful wave of tribulation lightning.
Without any hesitation, she swallowed a lotus seed that glowed with a five-colored light.
"Roar!"
The next moment, a roar that shook the heavens echoed.
A powerful aura erupted from Xiao Li’s position.
A massive figure suddenly appeared, raising its head to the sky and letting out a deafening roar at the tribulation cloud vortex.
This was Xiao Li’s ultimate innate ability, Size Manipulation, revealed for the first time to anyone other than Lu Qing.
Boom!
Just as Xiao Yan and Wu Xing were in shock, the long-awaited ninth wave of tribulation lightning finally struck.
