Late at night, a torrential downpour suddenly fell, accompanied by bursts of thunder. In a stone cave near the top of a mountain, Su Rui sat cross-legged. At that moment, his Nascent Soul leaped from his forehead. Following a low rumble of thunder, he stepped into the rain in his Nascent Soul form. However, he didn't dare go too deep, remaining high in the air near the cave entrance.
Beside Su Rui's physical body, Zhang Beiyang was guarding him. Ever since ingesting the Heavenly Dao Spiritual Power bestowed upon him by Su Rui, Zhang Beiyang had completely opened his mind and released himself freely in this primitive, small world. Surprisingly, his long-stagnant cultivation had achieved a breakthrough. Within his mid-grade golden elixir, shrouded in six elixir halos, the image of a Nascent Soul gradually emerged. Clearly, he had successfully entered the middle stage of the Dancheng Realm. With continued experience and time, he would surely achieve a breakthrough.
Su Rui had Zhang Beiyang as his guardian for a reason! While Su Rui was deeply immersed in cultivation, Zhang Beiyang had gone on a killing spree, slaying numerous primitive gods and eradicating many cruel and bloody beliefs. As a result, the other primitive gods and some of the primitive people in this world became hostile to the three of them.
Although Su Rui had already reached the final hurdle of the Nascent Soul stage, if his body was damaged, it would inevitably have a great impact on his subsequent cultivation. It was for this reason that he made such an arrangement.
At this moment, the Blood River Demon Monk still sat firmly atop his tribe's altar, his immense power intimidating all living beings within a ten-mile radius. After several days of Buddhist instruction, the Blood River Demon Monk's faith had shifted. He no longer believed in the Blood Buddha, but instead devoted himself wholeheartedly to the Sandalwood Buddha conjured by Suri, becoming his unwavering follower.
Su Rui, in his Nascent Soul form, stood in the rain, feeling the heavy, chilling raindrops falling from the sky. Every drop of rain that hit him felt like a sniper of cold arrows.
Although he was wearing a cloak made of the Five Elements Earth-level True Fire Evil, and was protected by the power of wind and sky, and suppressed by the Falun behind his head, he still found it difficult to move forward and was in an extremely difficult situation.
"This flood is one of the three remaining disasters. I must do my utmost to overcome it, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!"
The Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations could have been avoided, but once started, they were difficult to stop. Su Rui had already caused a flood when he rushed into the rain, so even if he wanted to stop now, he was powerless.
Feeling that his Nascent Soul body was beginning to crumble under the impact of the rain, showing signs of disintegration, Su Rui was extremely anxious. He hastily produced a Heavenly Dao Spiritual Inspiration and swallowed it without hesitation. As the Spiritual Inspiration entered his stomach, Su Rui immediately activated his cultivation technique and devoted all his energy to refining it.
In an instant, a powerful energy exploded in his body, and the Nascent Soul that was on the verge of collapse became solid again, and there was even a tendency for it to swell and gain weight.
However, facing this sudden situation, Su Rui did not panic, because he had anticipated it. With a thought, he once again activated his cultivation method, transforming the excess spiritual energy in his body into a series of extremely sharp innate Gengjin sword evil spirits and expelling them from his body.
These sword evil spirits quickly intertwined and entwined in the air, eventually forming an indestructible defensive barrier. At this moment, those seemingly gentle and weak raindrops, if they fell on the flesh of an ordinary person, might only cause some slight discomfort, but for the fragile Nascent Soul, they contained astonishing power.
However, just as this defense was taking shape, Su Rui clearly felt his pressure relieved a lot. At least now, he had enough confidence to withstand the huge impact brought by the raindrops falling from the sky, and he no longer had to be afraid to move his feet like before!
Pah...
As a blinding flash of lightning lit up, the world seemed to be torn apart in an instant, and endless light filled the entire space. The lightning was so dazzling that even Su Rui, who possessed the body of a Nascent Soul, could not help but feel a tingling sensation on his scalp.
At this moment, Su Rui's hair, originally formed from the pure and spiritual energy, suddenly stood up, as if being pulled by some powerful force. He secretly cried out in his heart, because he knew that this was a sign of being locked by the thunder, which meant that he would be punished by lightning!
At this moment, Su Rui's Nascent Soul body had barely withstood the invasion of the flood. If he were to be bombarded by another thunderbolt, the consequences would be unimaginable. He didn't even dare to think about it, because the terrifying power was enough to completely destroy him.
However, the reality is cruelly revealed. This dangerous situation has begun to emerge, and the possibility of being struck by lightning is extremely high. Time is running out, and Su Rui must respond quickly, otherwise what awaits him will be a devastating blow.
To save his life, Su Rui unhesitatingly stuffed the dozen or so remaining Heavenly Dao Spiritual Inspirations into his mouth, then frantically mobilized his internal mana to refine them. Simultaneously, he unleashed all the Buddha Light stored in the Dharma Wheel behind his head, converging it into a dazzling Buddha Light shield. Screaming, he sped towards the cave entrance.
At that moment, a resounding "boom" was heard, and the earth shook as deafening thunder suddenly resounded. Immediately afterwards, boundless divine power, like a mountain crushing an egg, came crashing down from the nine heavens, accompanied by bursts of thunder, pressing down with the force of a thunderbolt towards Su Rui's rapidly moving Nascent Soul...
At that moment, Su Rui felt as if he had turned into a mosquito that had been severely whipped with a powerful electric mosquito swatter. His bones and muscles were shattered, and his consciousness was gone. Fortunately, after a brief period of losing all five senses, he finally regained the feeling of his body.
At this moment, he has successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, but he does not have the demeanor of a Nascent Soul master. Instead, he is like a dead fish that has fallen into a puddle.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Suddenly, he burst into laughter, releasing the excitement and joy of escaping death. At this moment, all the protective shields on his Nascent Soul had disappeared, whether it was the Dharma Wheel behind his head, the Five Elements Earth-level True Fire Evil Black Cloak on his body, or the Sky Wind and Sword Evil defenses outside his body, all had disappeared.
He lay naked in a puddle of sewage in front of the cave entrance, sensing everything around him with his Nascent Soul body. Streams of vitality transformed from spiritual energy continuously repaired his somewhat illusory Nascent Soul body. Within the originally chaotic Nascent Soul body, a drop of milky white water, brimming with spiritual energy, and a mark of heavenly thunder appeared.
The water droplet faintly exuded the unique aura of Heavenly Spiritual Aura, seemingly imbued with endless mystery and power. A closer look revealed that it appeared to have formed after the protagonist swallowed more than a dozen Heavenly Spiritual Auras and endured a devastating thunderbolt. This wondrous water droplet seemed a gift from heaven, or perhaps a destiny.
The Heavenly Thunder Mark was even more striking. For practitioners, entering the Tribulation Crossing stage meant facing immense trials and challenges. Only by successfully surviving a level of Heavenly Tribulation could such a Heavenly Mark be left within their primordial spirits.
