Di Jiu grabbed out two immortal crystals and after only half a day of cultivation, he felt the aura of thunder tribulation. This made Di Jiu a little surprised, he thought that since the Immortal Realm had lost its Qi, all he needed to do to cross over to True Immortality was to transform his True Essence into Immortal Essence. He didn’t expect that before he started transforming his immortal energy, he had first attracted the True Immortal Thunderclap.
Di Jiu hurriedly stood up and casually set up a protective formation to shield Mo Yu, while he himself left the cave to prepare for the tribulation.
Even though he knew that the immortal spiritual energy here could not be cultivated, Di Jiu still set up a Spirit Gathering Formation in the place where he was going to cross the tribulation.
Thousands of immortal crystals were grabbed out by Di Jiu, and with the Star River Technique communicating the golden dao rules in operation, in just ten or so breaths of time, a roaring sound was heard from above.
Then nine black thunder arcs came down with a bang.
This was the first time Di Jiu had seen black thunder arcs, and even before the arcs fell on his body, Di Jiu felt the terrifying aura contained in the thunder arcs.
Di Jiu was a God-ranked body refiner and was able to absorb lightning sources, so reasonably speaking, he was not afraid of ordinary thunderclaps.
However, when this thunderclap came down, Di Jiu also perceived a shadow of death in that terrifying aura.
Di Jiu did not hesitate to offer the ninth level defensive blade formation, while the Heavenly Shao Blade also turned into a green rainbow and rolled towards the thunder arc. He didn’t dare to be careless, even if his senses were wrong, and blocked this first wave of the thunder arc first.
“Boom boom boom!” The thick black thunder arc blasted on top of Di Jiu’s Grade 9 Blade Formation, and Di Jiu heard a burst of shattering sounds of a very high quality blade weapon before a gaping hole was torn out of the Blade Formation.
With the power of Di Jiu’s ninth level defensive blade formation, it was surprising that it did not completely block this first wave of thunder arc. The Tian Sha Blade followed behind, tearing the two thunder arcs into shreds.
“Pffff!” The thunder arcs blasted at Di Jiu’s body, exploding several bloody slits on Di Jiu’s body, followed by Di Jiu’s bones clicking and shattering directly. The thunder source and Immortal Spirit Qi were rolled into Di Jiu’s body, before impacting the True Immortal Shackles.
“Boom!” The bones that were already cracked by the thunderstorm were broken even more again during this impact from Di Jiu.
Di Jiu’s heart sank, this definitely couldn’t be an ordinary True Immortal Lightning Tribulation, this was a terrifying lightning tribulation that wanted to put him to death.
In other words, if he didn’t have a level 9 defensive blade formation, this first wave of thunder tribulation arc would not be able to be blocked.
According to common sense, his thunder tribulation was in nine waves, each wave’s was nine, if one wave was stronger than the other, he would most likely fall here today.
After the first wave of thunder arcs were blocked by Di Jiu, the dense thunder source aura and the immortal crystals that Di Jiu spilled out fused together and were swept away by Di Jiu.
It was as if Di Jiu’s body was nourished by countless spirit rains, and the star river chakra was even expanded to its maximum, turning these immortal spirit qi into yuan qi. The immortal spiritual qi rolled in by the Spirit Gathering Formation could actually be absorbed even under this lightning space. At this moment, his cultivation level was also drifting up.
His injuries were also recovering rapidly, and Di Jiu knew clearly that only by crossing into the True Immortal realm as early as possible could he be able to block this terrifying thunder tribulation.
This thunder tribulation was terrifying, and likewise gave him great benefits. It was impossible to cultivate in the Immortal Realm of Dusk, but under this thunder tribulation arc, not only could Di Jiu cultivate, he could do so at a fast pace. Even while he was crossing the tribulation, some of his true essence started to transform into immortal essence.
After Di Jiu hurriedly mended the broken blade weapon, the second wave of black thunder arcs had already fallen. Compared to the first wave of lightning arcs, the second wave of lightning arcs were indeed much stronger again.
The blade formation once again met the nine thunder arcs, and the Heavenly Shao Blade and the Peak Fist blasted out at the same time.
In the face of this horrifying thunder arc, Di Jiu had no other choice but to use all his means. If he wanted to use the lightning source of the thunder tribulation to cultivate, he could only do so by crossing into the True Immortal realm.
Nine lightning arcs blasted down again at the same time, black lightning arcs exploded, mixed with blood mist and the sound of bones cracking.
If an outsider had seen this, he would have thought that this was someone fighting, not tiding over a tribulation.
……
The Sky Bamboo River, once a very famous river in the Immortal World, is lined with verdant sky bamboos.
The Heavenly Bamboo is not only a material that can absorb and gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it is also a material for refining weapons. If you met a 10,000 year old Heavenly Bamboo, you could even refine a top quality immortal weapon.
There was once a top-tier clan by the Heavenly Bamboo River, called the Heavenly Bamboo Immortal Clan.
After the dusk of the Immortal World, the Heavenly Bamboo withered and the Heavenly Bamboo River dried up like other rivers and lakes. Like other clans, the Heavenly Bamboo Immortal Clan also abandoned its clan’s residence and left.
But the Heavenly Bamboo Immortal Sect was quick to see what was happening and left early, saving some of its strength even though it was also caught up in the chaos.
At this moment, a young man dressed in sackcloth was bending over at the bottom of the dried up Tianzhu River, his eyes full of surprise as he saw a clear stream of water emerge from the bottom of the river.
Although this wisp of clear water was just a tiny sliver, it gave him an inexpressible excitement.
His name was Qu Tong, a casual cultivator who had come to the Immortal World from the Cultivation World. He had been in the Immortal World for hundreds of years, and in those hundreds of years, he had travelled to countless places and seen countless miserable images.
This was the first time he had seen water in the Immortal Realm. It had been hundreds of years since he had arrived in the Immortal Realm, and only at this moment did he realise that apart from blood water, there were also true clear springs in the Immortal Realm.
Qu Tong slowly knelt down on the dry riverbed and added the clear spring with the tip of his tongue, carrying a hint of sweetness and freshness. He lifted his head, some tears glistening in his eyes.
Was the suffering of the immortal world about to pa*s? Was the twilight of the immortal world about to end? Why could he still see the spring in the Immortal World?
“Boom boom boom!” A terrifying thunderous sound came from Qu Tong, who leapt up with a startled voice as he saw a black arc of thunder falling from the sky.
This was someone crossing the tribulation? And it was a black thunder tribulation?
Qu Tong was sure the next moment that he was not mistaken, this was indeed someone crossing the tribulation, and he rushed over with a flourish of his body.
This was because he knew that after the Dusk Immortal Realm, there were no thunder tribulations. Cultivators who came to the Immortal Realm in the Cultivation Realm could cross over to the True Immortal Realm as long as they transformed their True Essence into Immortal Essence. At least when he transformed his immortal essence, he did not attract a thunder tribulation.
He was lucky enough to have picked up a ring with a broken ban in the Immortal Realm, and there were still some immortal crystals inside the ring. He used the one billion spirit stones he had on him to enter the Three Elements Immortal City, where he transformed his true essence.
It was just that there were too many ugly things in the Immortal City and he could not bear the scenes he saw every day, which was why he left the Immortal City and then wandered alone until today.
The place where Di Jiu crossed the tribulation was not far from the Tianzhu River, and it only took Qu Tong most of an hour to arrive at the outskirts of the location where Di Jiu crossed the tribulation.
When he saw the terrifyingly thick black arc of lightning falling, his eyes were filled with horror. If he were to be allowed to cross this kind of lightning tribulation, he was sure that he wouldn’t even be able to hold out for three. Not to mention this unbroken chain of nine followed by nine more. The City Lord of the Three Elements Immortal City was known to be a true Golden Immortal, and he would probably have to get down even if he met this kind of lightning tribulation.
Was this person really crossing a True Immortal Lightning Tribulation? If it was really a True Immortal Lightning Tribulation, then this cultivator who was crossing the tribulation was a bit outrageously strong.
At the same time as Qu Tong came, Di Jiu felt it. He was even more anxious in his heart, his body was intact at the moment and a large part of his bones were broken. And he had only reached the fifth wave of lightning tribulation.
Even though he was absorbing Immortal Spirit Qi very quickly under this lightning arc, he just couldn’t break the shackles of True Immortal cultivation.
If he still did not break through the shackles of True Immortal cultivation after the thunder tribulation, then he would be in danger.
He was so badly injured that a random Domain Realm cultivator could kill him in seconds.
Thinking of what would happen if he failed to cross the tribulation, when the sixth wave of thunder tribulation was ushered in, Di Jiu even gave up the resistance of the Heavenly Shao Blade, allowing more thunder arcs to blast at him then frantically swept through the Immortal Spirit Qi and thunder sources to impact the True Immortal Shackles.
“Boom!” A blood mist once again spurted out around Di Jiu’s body, his body followed with a lightness as the endless amount of Immortal Spirit Qi found an outlet. His cultivation level climbed rapidly, and the sea of consciousness cracked once again and continued to start spreading. The surroundings became clearer and clearer.
Finally the True Immortal realm, Di Jiu was surprised to feel his powerful Yuan Power, as well as the two pale gold lines in his sea of consciousness.
This was not a twelfth level divine thought, but an immortal thought level two.
The seventh wave of thunder arcs followed and fell, but it could no longer press Di Jiu to blast, this thunder arc was more to provide Di Jiu with thunder sources to cultivate. Di Jiu’s injuries were also recovering rapidly as his cultivation level climbed wildly, so he simply took away the ninth level defensive blade formation and absorbed thunder sources and immortal spirit qi with all his might.
After the seventh wave of thunder tribulation, Di Jiu was already at the second level of True Immortal.
Qu Tong, who was watching the thunder tribulation from afar, felt a chill run down his back as he quietly retreated.
This tribulation cultivator was too powerful, just one hand could easily finish him off. He did not dare to stay here, this was the Dusk Immortal Realm, a place where killing was as common as flax.
There was no reasoning here, and staying here would only lead to death.
The eighth and ninth waves of thunder tribulation fell, and although the black arc of thunder tribulation was terrifying, it was equally unparalleled in helping Di Jiu’s cultivation.
After the nine waves of thunder tribulations had pa*sed, Di Jiu’s cultivation level could only rise to the fourth level of True Immortality.
After the thunder tribulation, Di Jiu’s injuries were almost recovered. Di Jiu’s divine thoughts swept into the distance, and the cultivator who was watching his thunder tribulation had already retreated, so he didn’t bother about it.
Although he had rushed to the fourth level of True Immortal, his true essence had not been fully transformed, and he still needed some time to transform his true essence into immortal essence.
