Chapter 450: Chapter 237: The Attracted Plundering Thunder_1
Just as White Painting was about to endure the third Celestial Tribulation Lightning, Lin Yi also ceased his observation with the Eye of Emptiness. He pressed his hand against his splitting head. Watching the Thunder and Lightning Laws consumed less Divine Sense than watching the line of Karma, but it was still unsustainable after multiple uses.
The Thunder and Lightning Laws were part of the Elemental Laws that constituted the world, and their manifestation as thunder and lightning could be seen with the naked eye.
However, Karma belonged to the real mysteries, as every cause must have an effect. It was a mysterious object that was unfathomable and completely intangible.
Even immortal beings who ascend to the Immortal Realm might not necessarily be able to see the threads of Karma.
He felt as though his head was being torn apart at that moment. His Divine Sense had likely reached its limit. Thus, he decided to take a break from observing and wait until White Painting faced the fifth Celestial Tribulation Lightning before reactivating the Eye of Emptiness.
In the Animal Transformation Tribulation, there were only five tribulations. The last one was probably when the Thunder and Lightning Laws were strongest in the entire Heavenly Tribulation, allowing him to gain a deeper insight.
Lin Yi consumed a pill once again. After recuperating, his headache gradually receded. While the Creation Method also enhanced his Divine Sense, it was somewhat insufficient for long-term usage of the Eye of Emptiness.
However, training Divine Sense was extremely difficult, and cultivation techniques for Divine Sense even more so, did not exist in the Cultivation World. Even his master, Zhang Dao Xuan, a Dan God, never possessed any relevant skills.
After returning from the Paper Shadow Sect, he presented the cultivation technique that enhanced Divine Sense through torturing and tormenting others to Zhang Dao Xuan for examination.
After looking at it, Zhang Dao Xuan merely scoffed and threw it aside, indicating it was a deviant practice. It only added resentment to the soul body, and not genuine Divine Sense.
But despite the lack of any cultivation technique for training Divine Sense, he felt that frequent use of the Eye of Emptiness could increase the strength of his Divine Sense to a certain extent. This could also be considered a form of cultivation.
Zhang Dao Xuan noticed Lin Yi’s frequent pill consumption and showed an unusual concern on his face. “Lin Yi, does your Divine Sense consumption run this high? It seems like you have indeed perceived something from the thunderclouds of the tribulation. However, be cautious about the limits. Don’t exhaust your Divine Sense to such an extent, as it’s easy to get trapped and then fall into devilish ways.”
“Master, I will be careful.” Lin Yi nodded and began observing White Painting’s Crossing Tribulation.
The gestation time of the third Celestial Tribulation Lightning was even longer than the last. Thunder and lightning flickered within the dark clouds, and the intense rumbling sounds also tested the mental state of those undergoing the tribulation, much like the waiting before the execution.
After a long while, a dazzling white light appeared in the dark clouds. The third Celestial Tribulation Lightning struck down with a loud thunderclap. Its power was more than twice as potent as the second one.
White Painting had already faced two Heavenly Tribulations and failed at this third Celestial Tribulation Lightning. It was incredibly familiar with the strength of this lightning. Thus, it had prepared in advance.
First, it released two defensive Magical Weapons to help defend against the tribulation’s assault. Then it circulated the Spiritual Power throughout its body. The trees on the island that were scorched by the lightning suddenly began to sprout roots and eventually turned into a thick layer of vines, blocking its front.
However, the two defensive Magical Weapons couldn’t even last a few seconds before they were shattered by the tribulation lightning. Afterwards, the third Celestial Tribulation Lightning struck the defensive shield made of vines and managed to withstand the first wave of attack.
White Painting continuously supplied nutrition to the vines with its internal Spiritual Power. The reason it chose to stay in the Misty Forest Gorge for such a long time was because it had been practicing a Wood Element Technique meant for snake-type Spirit Beasts.
But as the lightning flashed, the third Celestial Tribulation Lightning released an even more powerful energy. Under the strikes of the lightning, the vines gradually shattered and dispersed into black charcoal.
This tribulation lightning destroyed all the vines to reach its body but then hit a protective barrier.
However, this barrier didn’t last long against the tribulation lightning and was mercilessly shattered. Afterward, the tribulation lightning struck it again.
Just before this, White Painting had consumed several pills, activated all the Spiritual Power in its body, and braced for the baptism of the tribulation lightning.
The destructive power of the third Celestial Tribulation Lightning was in no way comparable to the second. The places hit by the lightning seemed liked armored white scales. They were directly split from its body and left a charred wound. The impact of the lightning prevented even blood from flowing out of the wound.
At long last, White Painting, having put forth its full effort, made it through the third Heavenly Tribulation, but it was covered in scars. It looked like a snake that had been charred black, a stark contrast to the initial elegant white figure.
It slightly lay on the ground weakly, and the green python nearby wanted to help but was stopped by Zhang Dao Xuan. “Don’t go over there. This is its fate. Nobody can help it.”
White Painting quickly stood up, started consuming pills, and madly absorbed the surrounding Spiritual Energy. Under the control of Zhang Dao Xuan, the energy that appeared nearby the island was all pure Wood Element Soul Power.
Determination shone in its eyes. It had failed to pass the third tribulation on the previous two attempts and was defeated. Now, it had made it past the third lightning and was only one step away from success. There was no way it would give up.
The gestation time for the fourth Celestial Tribulation Lightning, was shorter than the third. After a while, the tribulation lightning struck down, and although its might was not as great as the third, it was far stronger than the second.
