Chapter 449: Chapter 236 White Painting Crossing Tribulation_2
Moreover, every time they tried to steal from the Giant Spirit Tree’s Medicine Garden, the Lord of the Secret Realm, a guy who was known as the Dan God, didn’t dare to do anything to them. He could only rely on his three trite Spirit Beasts to tackle them.
At this moment, a pale golden mouse sprang out from a cave in the hillock nearby. Its eyes were fixed on the thunderstorm clouds in the sky.
“Greetings, Messenger,” the powerful Monster Beasts outside couldn’t help but bow when they saw this, each greeting in their respective languages.
This creature was their messenger from the True Monarch Tian Xu. It might seem like an ordinary Golden Mouse, but it played a significant role. They had managed to break through the formations guarding the Medicinal Garden thanks to this mouse.
However, the Golden Mouse paid no attention to them. It hopped onto a leopard and pointed at the highest tree nearby. The leopard nodded in understanding, carrying the mouse straight to the top of the tree, where they observed the looming storm clouds in the distance.
Soon, the first Heavenly Tribulation was conceived. From within the dark clouds, a huge jolt of Thunder and Lightning shot downwards, causing an astonishingly loud rumbling noise.
The powerful Monster Beasts present were scared, holding their heads. Even the strongest ones among them were still a significant Cultivation Level away from Crossing Tribulation.
In the Dan God’s Cave Mansion, this strike of Thunder and Lightning made the three Guardian Beasts shudder uncontrollably, including Zhi Ling.
Seeing their reaction, Zhang Dao Xuan laughed and said, “No need to worry; Heavenly Tribulation would only appear around the person Crossing Tribulation. It won’t affect anyone else.”
As Zhang Dao Xuan said, the Lightning bolt went straight towards the small island where White Painting was standing. Without any difficulty, it broke through the weak Array Method Shield, hitting White Painting directly. It didn’t affect anyone else beyond the island at all.
White Painting did not circulate his spiritual power and decided to withstand this first Heavenly Tribulation with his body. This would not have been possible had he not possessed the Jiao Dragon Bloodline.
However, just the tiny fragment of the Jiao Dragon Bloodline that he had awakened earlier had dramatically changed his physical constitution. Taking on this first Heavenly Tribulation head-on was not a problem for him at all.
Lin Yi did not look at the the lightning bolt that had already struck; instead, he gazed at the Thunderstorm clouds in the sky, wondering what he would see if he were to use the Eye of Emptiness.
However, he didn’t test it out immediately, choosing first to use the Predict Crisis ability.
As the saying goes, one cannot predict the will of Heaven. These Heavenly Tribulations were a part of that will. What if, after using the Eye of Emptiness, he were to become blind?
After using the Predict Crisis ability, he felt no pain in his heart, and there was no sign of danger in his mind, signifying that he was safe for the day and wouldn’t face any dangers whatsoever.
Only then did Lin Yi use the Eye of Emptiness title without apprehension. He didn’t remove the Predict Crisis title either.
Just like Compassionate Karma, Predict Crisis could predict Heaven’s will. Perhaps these two titles could combine to produce astonishing effects.
Next, he activated the Eye of Emptiness and directed its gaze at the Thunderstorm clouds overhead. To his amazement, he could see beyond the clouds, observing the birth process of the Heavenly Tribulation.
In the Cultivation World, there existed a rumor that Heavenly Tribulations were either caused by the Dragon Clan or a powerful cultivator hidden in the clouds.
However, as he probed deeper with the Eye of Emptiness, there was no one inside the ostensibly threatening clouds. All he could see was a tremendous force of Thunder and Lightning Laws, giving birth to the Heavenly Tribulation. His face showed a look of pleasant surprise.
Thunder and Lightning Laws! Unbelievably, his Eye of Emptiness could penetrate the essence of the Heavenly Tribulation and identify the Power of Laws directly.
Then, Lin Yi used the Eye of Emptiness once more to delve deeper. He felt an ineffable Power of Laws, akin to Heaven’s will. He couldn’t see it, but with the effect of the Eye of Emptiness, he sort of felt it.
At that moment, a sharp pain seized his mind. He immediately stopped using the Eye of Emptiness, swallowed a few pills, and took a while to regulate his breath before slowly recovering. Looking at the approaching storm clouds, he could not help sighing: indeed, Heaven’s will was inscrutable.
“Lin Yi, are you okay?” Zhang Dao Xuan, sensing something amiss, asked with concern.
“Master, I’m fine. I just wanted to see if this Heavenly Tribulation could provide some kind of insight for the Thunder Element in my Golden Core,” Lin Yi shook his head and said with a smile.
Zhang Dao Xuan couldn’t help but admire Lin Yi, “You dare to even think about challenging the Heavenly Tribulation, quite bold of you. However, just from feeling the aura from afar, with your current strength, charging into the Heavenly Tribulation would only make you die faster.”
“Don’t worry, Master, I still haven’t lived enough,” Lin Yi waved his hand and said. Once his Divine Sense had returned to normal, he activated the Eye of Emptiness again and looked at the tribulation cloud.
However, this time, he was just observing the Thunder and Lightning Laws, and didn’t delve deep into them.
The absence of danger predicted by Predict Crisis refers to the normal operations, where there won’t be any danger. If he insisted on peering into the mysteries of heaven, it would be a suicide mission.
For the first time, he truly saw the Power of Laws, which could only be seen through the Heavenly Tribulation.
According to the discussion he had with Pill Immortal Master, in the Lower Realm, there might not be any real Power of Laws at all.
Because, this Cultivation World might not be a complete world itself, but likely a continent created by some great Capability to cultivate cultivators for the Upper Realm.
What this place possesses would only be a part of the residual power of Laws.
However, the Thunder Tribulation in the Crossing Tribulation was integrated with the real Power of Laws. Otherwise, the powerful Thunder Tribulation could not have been formed.
What Lin Yi saw through the Eye of Emptiness this time confirmed their speculation.
Lin Yi looked up at the sky, entranced and comprehending the Thunder and Lightning Laws within. However, his Divine Sense couldn’t sustain itself. He couldn’t watch for more than half a minute before feeling a burst of pain and his consciousness started to drift.
He could only recover his stamina and observe again. At the same time, he also tried removing the title of Predict Crisis to observe, but could only see the formation of thunder and lightning within the dark clouds, unable to see the deeper rules of thunder and lightning.
Now, White Painting below had passed the first Thunder Tribulation with the power of her body. Her white scales were charred by the power of the Tribulation.
However, it had fully endured the first Thunder Tribulation, which further upgraded its body.
After crossing the first Thunder Tribulation, it began to take the pill, desperately absorbing the surrounding Spiritual Power to heal some of its injuries.
In the tribulation clouds in the sky above, the thunder and lightning activity was becoming more and more intense, and the energy was increasingly getting stronger. After a while, the second Thunder Tribulation struck down.
White Painting felt the power of this Thunder Tribulation, releasing a Spiritual Power Shield to protect itself.
However, this Spiritual Power Shield only lasted for a moment before it was shattered by the powerful force of the Thunder Tribulation, hitting it directly on the head and making it scream in pain.
It circulated the spiritual power within its body to strengthen the defensive strength of its flesh and withstand the destructive power of the Thunder Tribulation.
After the second Thunder Tribulation struck, the whole island became covered with flickering lightning. Those with lower cultivation levels couldn’t bear to see it directly and could only hear the intermittent screams, indicating the destructive power of this Thunder Tribulation.
The Golden Ape touched its firm muscles, and its body involuntarily trembled. This is the Thunder Tribulation, it thought.
Soon, White Painting successfully crossed the second Thunder Tribulation. The stones on the island were shattered and the burnt parts of its body were increasing.
The two previous places on its head that were hit by the Thunder Tribulation had turned even more charred, as if it had grown deeper.
Zhang Dao Xuan looked at White Painting’s current state and gently nodded, “It is much stronger than the previous two attempts. The Animal Transformation Tribulation has five thunder and lightning strikes, with each strike stronger than the last one.”
White Painting had failed at the third Thunder Tribulation in its previous two attempts after the second Thunder Tribulation, its body already suffered considerable injuries, unable to withstand the torment of the third Thunder Tribulation.
But now, even after two Thunder Tribulations, although its body was charred, it hadn’t suffered much substantial damage.
