Chapter 513 Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation

As he successfully broke through, Lyra (Person Name) opened her eyes.

She grasped Eldrin's hand firmly, her voice tinged with concern as she said, "The Nascent Soul Lightning Tribulation is not to be underestimated. Will you be careful?"

"Not a problem."

Eldrin nodded calmly, his gaze fixed upon the tribulation clouds gathering in the sky. Yet within his heart, he held absolute certainty.

The Heavenly Tribulation for a Great Luo Nascent Soul was destined to be unprecedented and unparalleled. Even a cultivator at the Nascent Soul, Mid Stage (Cultivation Realm) would likely face it with utmost solemnity, for there was a chance they could be severely wounded by the lightning calamity.

However, Eldrin possessed 3 innate spiritual treasures and had integrated 2 innate great supernatural powers, giving him ample confidence to withstand this heavenly tribulation.

He stepped forward and settled into the void above the peak of Green Lotus Isle, quietly awaiting the descent of the heavenly tribulation.

"Boom!"

No 1 knew how much time had passed when a mighty thunderclap resounded through the heavens.

Eldrin looked up to see a violet thunderbolt crashing down, hurtling directly toward him.

"It is the 9 Heavens Thunder Tribulation."

His eyes narrowed slightly, then relaxed almost instantly.

The power of the 9 Heavens Thunder Tribulation was truly terrifying. This was merely the first bolt of lightning, yet its force already rivaled a full-powered strike from a Golden Core Perfection cultivator—enough to injure even a Nascent Soul True Lord.

However, by now, a heavenly tribulation of merely this magnitude posed little threat to Eldrin.

His body was tempered day and night by the 5 Thunders Body Refining Art, not only surpassing ordinary True Lords in physical resilience, but also developing a formidable resistance to thunder-based techniques after such refinement.

He showed no fear, sitting serenely atop the firmament, actually using his physical body to withstand the heavenly tribulation.

The 9 heavenly thunder tribulations struck his physical body, yet not only failed to harm him in the slightest, but instead tempered every inch of his flesh until it glowed with a radiant light, flawless as immortal jade.

Boom—

The thunderous tribulations continued unabated, as 2 more bolts of lightning descended. Yet, to his astonishment, they still failed to harm him.

"What a formidable physical body."

In the distant void, the Jizhou cultivators who had come to witness the ceremony all had a subtle shift in their gaze, revealing looks of astonishment.

To withstand the heavenly tribulation with 1's physical body alone—this far surpassed everyone's imagination. Yet Eldrin confronted 3 consecutive thunder tribulations, the final 1 approaching the might of a True Lord's domain, and astonishingly, he remained completely unscathed.

This far exceeded everyone's expectations, for a cultivator's physical body was remarkably fragile—to withstand the heavenly tribulation head-on was simply too arduous.

Freya, who had come to observe the ceremony, also remarked, "In the early stages of cultivation, advancing 1's physical body is exceedingly arduous. However, upon reaching higher realms, cultivators gain access to myriad methods to enhance their fleshly form."

Upon reaching the True Monarch realm, 1's physical form would often undergo a qualitative transformation. Cultivators below the Golden Core, Late Stage and their magical treasures could no longer harm him.

Legend has it that those who ascend through feathering and achieve an immortal form possess physical strength rivaling that of innate deities. It is said that immortals who follow the path of physical sanctification can even shatter the stars of the 9 heavens with their bare hands.

She took another deep breath and continued, "Even so, the fact that he withstood 3 heavenly tribulations at his current realm proves his physical body surpasses that of most True Lords."

The Ji Clan's legacy has endured unbroken, having once given rise to a supreme being who ascended to immortality. For Ji Feixue to speak these words carried no small weight.

Beside them, Yan Zi’s eyes grew contemplative. After a moment of reflection, she said softly, “I had long suspected he possessed the aptitude for a Great Luo Golden Elixir. Now, it seems my intuition was correct.”

"Only the legendary Great Luo Golden Elixir, that immortal-grade foundation, could manifest such astonishing phenomena upon breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm, no?"

Yan Zi murmured softly, her gaze drifting toward Lyra (Person Name) with a flicker of envy in her eyes.

High above the heavens, Eldrin lowered his gaze, quietly sensing the power within his body.

After tempering his body through 3 heavenly tribulations, he sensed his physical form had grown stronger by several degrees, sparking a flicker of delight within him.

"However, this is where it ends. The upcoming lightning tribulation is powerful enough to severely injure an Nascent Soul True Lord—it can no longer be resisted with physical strength alone."

He murmured softly, lifting his head to gaze at the gathering heavenly tribulation in the sky.

The Nascent Soul Tribulation of the Great Luo was exceptionally formidable. Beginning from the fourth heavenly tribulation, its power likely rivaled the final 3 tribulation strikes of an ordinary True Lord's ascension ordeal.

The fourth heavenly tribulation had gathered an overwhelmingly terrifying force, potent enough to severely wound a Human Dao True Lord at the first layer of the Nascent Soul stage. Even Eldrin dared not face it with his physical body alone.

Boom—

But with a thunderous roar, Eldrin raised his hand and unleashed a bolt of Dual Polarity Divine Thunder.

In that instant, his innate divine ability pierced through the heavens, effortlessly neutralizing the Ninth Heaven Divine Thunder until both forces vanished without a trace.

The next 2 divine thunderbolts were each withstood by Eldrin using his innate supernatural abilities. Although the power of the sixth divine thunderbolt had already rivaled that of the Nascent Soul, 3rd Tier, he did not feel particularly pressured.

It was not until the seventh heavenly tribulation began to gather that Eldrin felt an overwhelming pressure surge within his heart.

The might of this heavenly tribulation had reached the Nascent Soul, 4th Tier (Cultivation Realm), its power vastly amplified.

"Not to be underestimated."

Eldrin murmured under his breath, "The higher 1's cultivation realm, the more arduous it becomes to challenge those beyond 1's tier."

Even a Nascent Soul, Early Stage (Cultivation Realm) cultivator might be overlooked, but True Monarchs at the Mid or Late Nascent Soul Stage were mostly Earth Path Nascent Souls or even Heaven Path Nascent Souls. These cultivators had once been the most exceptional talents among Golden Core cultivators—how could any of them be truly weak?

In the past, when Eldrin first reached the Golden Core realm, his full-powered outburst could threaten even a Golden Core, Late Stage expert. Yet now, though he had newly stepped into the Nascent Soul realm, he held no certainty of victory against a genuine Nascent Soul, Mid Stage cultivator.

Such an existence, having cultivated arduously for several 1000 years, would surely possess 1 or 2 medium-grade spirit treasures in their grasp. Their mastery of great supernatural powers would undoubtedly have advanced further, reaching the perfected stage—potentially no weaker than their innate divine abilities.

Eldrin (Person Name) sensed that even with the enhancement of the Great Luo Golden Elixir, he would still need to consolidate his cultivation in the Nascent Soul realm for a few more years to truly suppress a True Monarch of this caliber.

Until the spiritual treasures, divine abilities, and cultivation techniques are elevated, it still won't be quite impressive enough.

With that thought, he raised his hand and summoned his natal spirit treasure. A brilliant violet sword radiance soared into the heavens, cleaving through the firmament.

To his astonishment, the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure) soared into the air, transforming into a blade of light capable of slaying immortals that shot through the void. It cleaved through more than half of the heavenly tribulation lightning.

With a resounding hum of the sword, the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure) descended, its radiance dimmed. After all, this sword was now merely a low-grade spirit treasure—struggling to withstand this tribulation lightning.

Fortunately, the immortal sword was indestructible and thus escaped serious damage. After this strike, the heavenly tribulation’s radiance had largely dissipated, its remaining power now insufficient to pose a threat. Eldrin summoned his divine abilities and effortlessly withstood what remained.

The eighth lightning descent followed closely. To prevent the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure) from suffering severe damage, Eldrin (Person Name) ceased channeling energy into the blade. With a raised hand, he released a brilliant azure sword radiance that pierced the heavens, cleaving upward toward the firmament.

"It is the Heavenly River Water Sword of Ren."

Witnessing this scene, Yan ZiJi from afar couldn't help but feel envious. The advantage of having multiple spiritual roots was the ability to cultivate several Life-Bound Spiritual Treasures.

She possessed only the Violet Cosmos Void-Mirror, a spiritual treasure not renowned for its offensive or defensive capabilities. When she faced the heavenly tribulation, she had prepared several fifth-grade talismans and, with the aid of the Abyssal Violet Cauldron, barely managed to survive the lightning ordeal.
