Chapter 238 Golden Core Perfection, Facing the Heavenly Tribulation in the Apocalypse!
This is the first true life-or-death hurdle on the path of cultivation.
Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation!
Zhou Jue showed no panic. The secluded cultivation room was no longer safe. The power of the Heavenly Tribulation was enough to raze the entire post-apocalyptic base to the ground. He had to find a suitable place to undergo the tribulation.
Her divine sense instantly enveloped the land within a radius of thousands of kilometers.
Abandoned cities, dried-up riverbeds, mutated jungles... scenes flashed through her mind.
She quickly identified a location.
A desolate, uninhabited Gobi Desert located in the northwest.
Perfection, that's it.
After selecting the battlefield, she did not withdraw her divine sense, but instead found Commander Qi, who was working in the base command center.
"Commander Qi." A clear, cold voice rang out directly in Qi Si's mind.
Qi Si, who was reading documents, raised an eyebrow, stood up abruptly, and asked excitedly, "Xiao Jue, you've come out of seclusion?"
"Yes, I'm about to undergo my tribulation."
Zhou Jue's voice was simple and direct, without a single wasted word.
"What?!"
Qi Si was shocked. A tribulation?!
"I have already chosen the location for my tribulation. I will send you the coordinates. You can organize a group of determined cultivators to observe from the outskirts of my tribulation area."
Zhou Jue's voice continued: "Observing the Heavenly Tribulation may bring some insights, and after the Heavenly Tribulation, spiritual rain will fall, which will benefit them."
As soon as he finished speaking, a precise geographical coordinate was clearly imprinted in Qi Si's mind.
"Okay! I'll go prepare right away!" Commander Qi didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest. This could be considered the first tribulation on their path to immortality, and it was of extraordinary significance.
With the spiritual communication severed, Zhou Jue's figure vanished instantly from the secluded cultivation room.
The next second, she appeared in the sky above the Gobi Desert thousands of miles away. The sky was a hazy yellow, the yellow sand was flying, and there was only deathly silence.
Zhou Jue was not arrogant. This was his first time undergoing tribulation, and he was facing the might of Heaven. Any slight disregard could lead to utter destruction.
On a whim, she opened the system shop.
【Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Defense Array】: Price: 10,000 points.
【Four Symbols Locking Heaven Array Plate】: Price: 10,000 points.
She exchanged for five different types of advanced defensive array plates in one go.
With a wave of his hand, five streams of light flew out and landed in five different locations on the Gobi Desert. They instantly disappeared, forming invisible energy shields that enveloped the central area layer by layer.
After doing all that, she thought for a moment and then started searching through the online store again.
Soon, something both familiar and unfamiliar appeared before her eyes.
【Special Superconducting Lightning Rod】: Priced at 500 points, it can guide lightning attacks with energy intensity below 100,000 volts.
Interesting. Zhou Jue's lips curled up slightly, and he directly exchanged for one.
However, she didn't take it out immediately, but put it in the system space to use when needed.
Finally, she instructed the system to urgently purchase new defensive equipment for her if the current defenses were insufficient and her consciousness and actions became sluggish due to the attacks.
Everything is ready.
[Host, I suggest that you personally endure the first few bolts of heavenly lightning.] The system's voice sounded at the opportune moment.
[The tempering of your body with lightning, cleansing your marrow and refining your essence, will bring immeasurable benefits to your future cultivation foundation.]
[Furthermore, each lightning tribulation is stronger than the last, so the earlier ones will be easier to withstand.]
"That's what I think too."
"Let's remove the system shield as well."
"Don't start until I'm on my last breath."
[…okay, host]
The system reluctantly agreed.
Zhou Jue had completed all the "preparations." He took a deep breath, sat cross-legged in the center of the great formation, and completely released the suppression of the violent spiritual power within his body.
Boom—!!!
A golden beam of spiritual energy shot out from her dantian and soared into the sky!
As if in response to her provocation, the originally gloomy sky suddenly changed color!
Within a radius of a hundred miles, countless black tribulation clouds converged wildly from all directions, forming an enormous black vortex above her head.
Calamity clouds!
Within the clouds, countless purple lightning bolts darted wildly, crackling and popping. At the center of the vortex of the tribulation clouds, the purple hue grew brighter and deeper, as energy frantically brewed!
[Host, hang in there! Host, stay strong!]
......
at the same time.
Commander Qi urgently mobilized all transport aircraft within the base.
Hundreds of soldiers who had already embarked on the path of cultivation and elite students from Yunlan University were urgently summoned.
"What's going on? Emergency assembly? Are we going to fight a boss?"
"I don't know, they just said it's an incredible opportunity, and you'll regret it for the rest of your life if you miss it!"
When they were led to the tarmac and saw Commander Qi's unprecedentedly serious face, everyone fell silent.
"Everyone."
Qi Si's voice resounded throughout the venue through the loudspeaker.
"Next, you are about to witness a historic moment."
"Our Major General Zhou, your Vice Principal, Comrade Zhou Jue, is about to undergo the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation!"
"Your task is to observe from the outside and carefully comprehend the essence! The spiritual rain after the heavenly tribulation is the opportunity you have been dreaming of!"
"Board the plane immediately!"
"Yes!" everyone answered in unison.
After boarding, everyone was in complete chaos!
"Holy crap! Tribulation?! Is this the tribulation I was thinking of?!"
"Major General Zhou is about to undergo his tribulation? My God! This... can we even watch this?"
"No wonder! No wonder I felt the sky darken just now! It turns out the vice principal was invoking the power of heaven!"
Everyone's face was filled with fervor and reverence.
......
Gobi Desert.
At the center of the vortex of the calamity clouds, the purple lightning bolt was still brewing, but it was growing thicker and thicker.
Finally, *snap*!
A bolt of purple divine lightning, as thick as a bucket, carrying a terrifying aura capable of destroying everything, suddenly struck down from the dark vortex of tribulation clouds!
It's here!
Zhou Jue suddenly looked up.
Faced with this earth-shattering power, she neither dodged nor avoided it, nor even activated any magical artifacts.
She simply stood up slowly, straightened her spine, and bravely faced the purple divine lightning with her own flesh and blood!
Boom! ...
The lightning instantly engulfed her figure.
A terrifying electric current raged wildly within her body, tearing and destroying every inch of flesh and every bone with its violent force!
Excruciating pain! Indescribable pain!
"puff!"
Zhou Jue suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, staggered, and knelt on one knee.
But she held on!
The lightning dissipated.
Her clothes had turned to ashes, and her skin was covered with charred marks, but beneath those wounds, a faint golden light flowed, and new skin was growing at a visible speed, more resilient and more vibrant than before.
The first lightning tribulation was withstood!
Zhou Jue slowly raised his head, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked at the churning clouds in the sky.
Her face showed no fear, but rather a fierce fighting spirit.
The first thunderbolt was just an appetizer.
As if enraged by her provocation, the swirling clouds in the sky spun even more wildly and violently!
That chilling pressure suddenly more than doubled!
At the center of the vortex, two thicker purple lightning pillars, containing even more terrifying energy than before, were forming simultaneously. Like two lightning dragons poised to strike, they locked onto the indomitable figure on the ground and came one after the other!
