Buzz!
In the cultivation room, Lu Tao trembled slightly.
Instantly, a tremendous aura spread outward from the training room, its pressure comparable to that of a Martial God.
This moment.
After more than a month of cultivation, Lu Tao's energy and spirit finally reached the perfect state of Martial King.
There is nowhere left to go.
"With this strength, he could probably kill an ordinary Martial God with a single punch, right?"
Lu Tao briefly assessed his own strength and was quite satisfied.
but.
Lu Tao frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "This is only pseudo-marrow refinement. If it were true marrow refinement, how strong would his strength be? What a pity..."
Lu Tao felt somewhat regretful.
If he hadn't learned these secrets, Lu Tao would have thought that his strength was invincible among his peers, and even become complacent.
But now...
After learning about the true essence refinement, Lu Tao became dissatisfied with his own strength.
"I wonder what the requirements are for true marrow refining. If I get the method in the future, will I still need to shatter my core and start over? That would be such a waste."
Lu Tao pondered.
Despite their best efforts, they were unable to gather any other useful information regarding this matter.
Lu Tao could only wait and find the answer himself later.
"Out of the pass!"
Having cultivated his essence, energy, and spirit to perfection, Lu Tao left the cultivation room to prepare for his tribulation.
The disciples of the Immortal Sect also emerged from seclusion, ready to witness their sect leader's Martial God Tribulation.
Lu Tao glanced at the disciples and nodded in satisfaction.
now.
All the disciples of the Immortal Sect have reached the Perfect Martial King level.
However, it is only the inner element.
His physical body is still in the mid-stage of the Martial King realm, a little short of perfection.
Compared to Lu Tao.
Their cultivation speed is still a bit slower.
The main differences lie in the increase in sect power and the increase in loyalty.
In terms of sect growth, Lu Tao, as the sect leader, consistently received a higher growth rate than other elders and disciples, at least twice as high. His loyalty growth rate was also the highest, reaching nine times.
Regarding loyalty, Lu Tao discovered a phenomenon.
Even He Yuanshuang, Wu Ming, Xiaotianquan, and others who trusted Lu Tao immensely, their loyalty remained stuck at 99 points, unable to cross that threshold and reach 100.
Therefore.
The Immortal Sect's boost to them remained at 8 times, unable to reach the same 9 times boost as Lu Tao.
therefore.
Even for He Yuanshuang, Wu Ming, and others, their cultivation speed was always twice as fast as Lu Tao's.
Not to mention the other disciples.
Their loyalty is relatively low, exceeding 95 but not reaching 99.
A loyalty level of 95 results in a 7-fold increase, and a loyalty level of 98 results in an 8-fold increase.
so.
Most disciples experienced a 7x increase, while a few achieved an 8x increase.
But this difference is very small.
"Not bad. In about ten more days, they should all be able to advance to the Martial God realm."
Lu Tao nodded to himself.
On the other side...
After half a month of cultivation, Ji Zhiyuan and his son, along with the other seven hundred mounts, have all reached the Divine Platform Perfection Realm and are ready to undergo the Martial King Tribulation.
but.
The other dragons are still lacking in physical strength.
They are merely mounts; the sect's enhancement isn't that high, so their cultivation speed naturally can't compare to others.
Kong Hao, who had broken through his core and started rebuilding half a month earlier than them, had already transcended the tribulation to become a Martial King and was now striving to catch up with the other Immortal Sect disciples.
Lu Tao withdrew his gaze, left the cave, and soared into the sky.
In the blink of an eye.
Lu Tao arrived at the Tribulation Transcending Secret Realm.
No one has come here to undergo tribulation recently.
In the early days, after the appearance of the Tier 3 High-Grade Breakthrough Pill, people would come here from time to time to undergo tribulation, break through to the Martial King realm, and support the Outer Heaven.
now.
Those who were capable of breaking through to the Martial King realm have all done so, and recently, the Tribulation Crossing Secret Realm has become calmer.
Lu Tao's original intention was to have the Immortal Sect disciples leave their cave to watch his tribulation.
result.
He had only been in the secret realm for a short time when Seventh Master arrived.
Clearly, the Da Gan royal family has been keeping a close eye on the Tribulation Realm, ensuring they are aware of all the Martial Kings and Martial Gods within the country.
Seventh Master asked with some surprise, "Lu Tao, did you... forge other weapons again? Or are you undergoing tribulation yourself?"
Lu Tao laughed and said, "I will overcome this tribulation myself."
"Hiss..."
Even with Seventh Master's knowledge and composure, he couldn't help but gasp and stammer, "Is it the Martial God's Tribulation?"
Earlier, he had guessed that Lu Tao had already passed the Martial King Tribulation, and if he were to pass the tribulation again now, he would undoubtedly become a Martial God.
As expected.
Lu Tao smiled and nodded in agreement.
"He's truly a prodigy."
Seventh Master couldn't help but sigh.
He has lived for thousands of years and has witnessed countless extraordinary talents.
Not to mention humans, even among other races, no one has ever seen a cultivation speed like Lu Tao's.
Not only had I never seen it, I'd never even heard of it.
This is something that has never happened before, in ancient or modern times.
That's an exaggeration.
"Elder He, you stay with Seventh Master, I'm going to undergo my tribulation."
Lu Tao summoned He Zongming, placed the cave dwelling on him, and allowed the disciples to watch the Martial God's Tribulation from inside the cave dwelling.
"Yes, Sect Master!"
He Zongming accepted the order. He was quite familiar with Seventh Master and could chat with him for a while.
——
Boom!
Lu Tao arrived at the center of the secret realm and released his aura. Instantly, the sky above the entire secret realm changed dramatically.
In an instant, dark clouds gathered, a dense, oppressive mass that covered the sky and earth.
The area covered a terrifying five thousand miles.
It is not the two thousand miles in radius that other Martial Kings experienced when they successfully completed their tribulations.
"This... the range of the lightning tribulation is actually this large?"
Seventh Master was shocked as he watched the impending calamity.
He instantly recalled some records he had seen before, and was even more shocked. He murmured, "Such a range... could it be 108 lightning tribulations?"
The Great Gan had existed for a long time and had collected a great deal of secret information.
once.
Seventh Master once saw a record that said in a very distant plane, there was a chosen one of the plane, who was exceptionally talented. When he was undergoing the Tribulation of the God of War, he attracted 108 terrifying bolts of heavenly lightning.
Unfortunately.
That prodigy couldn't withstand the final bolt of heavenly lightning.
Such a prodigy perished under the heavenly tribulation, which is truly a pity and makes many powerful people in the world feel sorry for him.
It is said that...
That final bolt of heavenly lightning was terrifying beyond measure; even a Martial God at the peak of their cultivation could not withstand it.
However, the specific nature of the heavenly lightning is not recorded.
Seventh Master was happy that Lu Tao had such talent and potential, but at the same time, he was also filled with worry.
Thinking of this.
Seventh Master hurriedly reminded Lu Tao, "Lu Tao, be careful of the last bolt of heavenly lightning, don't be careless."
The tribulation of lightning has begun to brew and cannot be stopped.
Seventh Master didn't know if Lu Tao had read those records.
At this point, all he could do was offer a reminder.
He certainly didn't want Lu Tao to follow in the footsteps of that chosen one of the planes.
now.
Seventh Master could be said to have placed all his hopes for whether Da Gan could overcome this crisis on Lu Tao.
Especially considering that Lu Tao has crafted more than ten divine artifacts and sixty weapons in a short period of time, and has now advanced to the Martial God level in just two months, if the hope of breaking the deadlock is not on him, then on whom?
At this moment, Seventh Master was even more nervous than Lu Tao and He Zongming.
Far away.
Lu Tao, who had set up the divine array, nodded silently, looking up at the heavenly lightning with a troubled expression.
He had naturally read those records, so how could he be careless?
Boom—
The heavenly tribulation was brewing, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth throughout the entire secret realm was frantically converging towards the lightning tribulation, its power growing stronger and stronger.
Crack!
After a long while, the thunder finally struck.
Just like the previous Martial King's tribulation, the initial heavenly lightning was like light raindrops, neither too strong nor too weak, as if it were just tickling Lu Tao, posing no threat whatsoever to him.
Lu Tao directly used his physical body to withstand the attack, thereby tempering his body and increasing its strength.
Such a casual gesture caused Seventh Master's face to twitch.
On the one hand, they marveled at Lu Tao's strength, but on the other hand, they worried that Lu Tao hadn't taken the Heavenly Tribulation seriously.
But considering Lu Tao's personality, he shouldn't be so careless.
Crackling sound—
Bolts of lightning struck down, their power growing stronger with each strike.
Without exception, none of them posed any threat to Lu Tao.
All of these heavenly lightning bolts became nourishment, which Lu Tao absorbed and refined.
After being struck by dozens of heavenly lightning bolts, not only did he not suffer any loss, but his inner energy became abundant, his physical body became strong, and his spirit became full.
It was as if he had not come to undergo tribulation, but rather to cultivate through the tribulation of lightning.
Seventh Master stared wide-eyed.
Time passed, and two hours later, all eighty-one bolts of heavenly lightning had been delivered.
When the eighty-second bolt of heavenly lightning struck, Lu Tao's expression changed slightly. At this moment, the heavenly lightning was purple, and its power had increased dramatically.
Although I had read about it in records before, I only realized how powerful the purple heavenly lightning in the Martial God's Tribulation was when I experienced it firsthand.
At least.
In Lu Tao's view, this kind of heavenly lightning was much stronger than that of a gray wolf at the mid-stage of Martial God.
boom!
Thunder roared and struck Lu Tao, causing his body, which was standing in mid-air, to suddenly sink several feet.
Crackle, crackle.
A burst of lightning flashed across Lu Tao's body, a truly terrifying sight.
But Lu Tao is unharmed.
"It's alright, it can hold up."
Lu Tao murmured to himself and looked up at the thunder.
crackling sound—
A moment later, the heavenly lightning continued to strike, each bolt more powerful than the last…
Half an hour later, the ninety-first bolt of heavenly lightning struck.
"Supernatural power!"
Lu Tao's gaze sharpened.
The ninety-first heavenly lightning bolt was already a divine power, and not just any ordinary divine power; it was at least equivalent to a divine power transformed from a mid-grade Heavenly Rank martial skill.
How powerful it is.
Bang bang bang!
Lu Tao's body was constantly weakening under the bombardment of the supernatural powers, but he still chose to endure it.
At this moment, after being tempered by heavenly lightning, Lu Tao's physical body was so tough that it almost reached the level of a low-grade defensive artifact.
but.
Despite being bombarded by powerful divine abilities, Lu Tao was still injured, but the injuries were not serious. After absorbing the pure primordial energy from the heavenly lightning, he quickly recovered.
The vital energy carried by heavenly lightning is like a good medicine.
Another half hour later, Lu Tao successfully passed the 99th heavenly lightning.
The heavenly thunder continued to brew, and soon, the hundredth bolt of heavenly thunder struck.
And it was actually a thunderous longsword, descending from the sky and piercing towards Lu Tao's head, as if it were about to penetrate him!
