Turns Out I Really Am The Protagonist

The world is filled with myriad sects, horrific demons, and rising heroes, but each only reigns for a few hundred years. This world had no protagonist; it was merely a cycle of one power replacing ...

Chapter Six Heavenly Tribulation

"The third level of the Divine Illumination Tribulation?"

The surrounding crowd gasped in surprise. Looking at the dark, oppressive tribulation clouds overhead, those with discerning eyes could already sense that something was amiss. Judging from the sheer force of these tribulation clouds, they didn't resemble a minor tribulation at the third level of the Divine Illumination Realm at all!

At this moment, Li Sisui was suspended in mid-air. It seemed as if there was a pair of eyes staring intently at him from the tribulation clouds above his head, or as if there was a giant hand pressing Li Sisui down in mid-air, unable to move. It was as if Li Sisui was trapped in an inverted funnel, making it difficult for anyone within a hundred feet to enter!

Holy crap, is this the Heavenly Tribulation?

I haven't even figured out how to cultivate yet, and I'm already facing a tribulation? What the heck is going on?

This is a disaster! He's really courting death. This is a heavenly tribulation, the power of thunder! How can he possibly withstand it? *Crack*, it's all over. Sigh…

What kind of pill did this guy throw away? He's been cultivating for over two thousand years without any progress, so how could a single black pill trigger a heavenly tribulation?

Li Sisui was completely dumbfounded. After all, he knew nothing about cultivation and had already faced a tribulation before he even knew what was going on. No one could remain calm. Although he had once fantasized about controlling lightning, he had never imagined being struck by lightning. In his previous life, this was called divine retribution. How much sin must he have committed!

Boom! Boom!

The tribulation clouds grew thicker and thicker, as black as ink. At this moment, sand and stones flew in the Tianmen Sect square, and a strong wind blew. Some cultivators with low cultivation levels had to use defensive magic treasures to keep their footing. However, the cultivators who could come here were not weak. Most of them stood still in the wind and watched the situation with narrowed eyes.

"This is definitely not a minor tribulation at the third level of the Divine Illumination Realm!"

"How can a single Marrow Cleansing Pill possess such power?"

"..."

Exclamations erupted from the crowd, most of them filled with disbelief. After all, the Marrow Cleansing Pill was too low-level, only having some effect on tempering the body for those in the Divine Transformation and Divine Illumination stages. No one could understand how a mere Marrow Cleansing Pill could have such a sensation.

The Daoist Wufa on the high platform also put away his smile, looking at the slowly gathering tribulation clouds with surprise and uncertainty. A solemn look flashed across his face, but after thinking about it again, he realized that such powerful tribulation clouds were probably not something that a Divine Illumination stage cultivator could handle. If they were killed by the heavenly tribulation, it would save him the trouble of taking action, and it would also silence the gossips. It was a win-win situation!

If one's own cultivation is insufficient, and one fails to transcend the tribulation, resulting in death and the destruction of one's soul, one cannot blame others for this, can one?

Thinking of this, Daoist Wufa revealed a cold smile, but the smile froze the next second. Another exclamation broke out in the crowd. Li Sisui, who was suspended in mid-air, suddenly felt a surge of heat in his dantian and felt warm all over. He subconsciously stretched his body and floated in mid-air in a starfish shape.

Then, from each of Li Sisui's four limbs, a small golden dragon, more than ten inches long and visible to the naked eye, burst forth. The dragons had golden armor and whiskers, and every detail was clearly visible. The four small dragons meandered and swam slowly toward Li Sisui's dantian. They then converged at his dantian, chasing each other and forming a golden circle!

As the four small golden dragons swam faster and faster, the circle gradually shrank. After a few breaths, a golden dragon several times larger suddenly leaped out from the center of the circle, soaring into the sky and heading straight for Li Sisui's spirit!

Li Sisui seemed to sense something, his whole body was burning with heat, especially his throat felt like it was stuck with something, he had to get it out. Before he could think any further, the golden dragon entered Li Sisui's crown chakra.

Cough! Cough! He! Tui!

A glob of thick, black phlegm flew from Li Sisui's mouth, heading straight for the face of the Daoist Wufa. The Daoist, seeing this, was both shocked and furious. He casually flicked his wrist, swatting the phlegm away, which landed on the face of a stunned young man standing nearby. The young man, however, remained oblivious, still staring blankly at Li Sisui in mid-air, muttering to himself:

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"Four dragons emerge from the water, one dragon ascends to the sky—this is the Five Dragons Divine Travel Pill! Once ingested, this pill can instantly increase one's cultivation by five Jiazi (a unit of time), equivalent to three hundred years of arduous cultivation!"

The crowd around them was completely unsettled. Even if this pill were placed on Mount Fugu, it would be fought over. Every cultivator present today was tempted. After all, one sip could save three hundred years of arduous cultivation. Who wouldn't be tempted? However, the crowd couldn't understand why the young man could mistake this Five Dragons Divine Travel Pill for a Marrow Cleansing Pill.

"You unfilial son! How could you not even distinguish between different kinds of pills? You just casually gave away the wedding gift I gave you to someone else, you good-for-nothing!"

The young man muttered to himself, his face filled with disbelief, completely unaware of the thick, black phlegm covering his face. He then subconsciously rolled up his sleeves and muttered to himself:

"Impossible! How could I be mistaken? It was clearly in the storage ring on my right hand, how did it end up in the storage bracelet on my left hand!"

The young man was wearing five storage rings on each of his hands, and several storage bracelets on his arms as well. This gave a glimpse into the wealth of the Tianmen Sect. However, even so, he was still heartbroken to have wasted a divine pill in such a short time, and his hatred for Li Sisui in mid-air intensified!

After coughing up a thick phlegm, Li Si felt instantly relaxed, as if she had just had a top-notch Thai massage. Looking down, she saw the young man's fingers were covered in rings and couldn't help but exclaim:

"Holy crap, it's Lord of the Rings!"

Daoist Wufa's face was even darker. His only son had gone too far today. It is said that one should not flaunt one's wealth. Displaying one's possessions in front of so many cultivators may not be a big deal within the Tianmen Sect, but who can guarantee that others won't have any thoughts about you once you leave the Tianmen Sect?
