"Hmph, this is a magical protective shield that I bought at a high price. Even heavenly lightning wouldn't be able to break through its defenses so easily..."
"Click, click..."
Zhou Qihua was feeling quite pleased with himself, but before he could finish speaking, several cracks appeared on the Water Shield.
"Splash..."
Finally, it shattered completely in Zhou Qihua's horrified gaze, and the remaining heavenly lightning struck him directly!
"ah!"
The immense pain from the lightning strike caused Zhou Qihua to scream out loud, wisps of smoke rising from his body, his hair and beard completely burned away.
"Pfft..."
He coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Cough cough cough..."
Fortunately, the heavenly lightning had lost much of its power after being used twice, and Zhou Qihua's life was not in danger.
"Pooh…"
Once the pain subsided somewhat, Zhou Qihua struggled to his feet, supporting his chest. He spat out the blood in his mouth, took out a jade bottle, and poured out a round pill that emitted a faint golden light.
"Plop..."
Without hesitation, he swallowed the pill in one gulp, then looked up at the gloomy and terrifying tribulation clouds in the sky. At this moment, Zhou Qihua's face showed no fear.
The Jia Rong Dan can withstand a bolt of heavenly lightning, and can only be used once at the same cultivation level.
There are three tribulations in the True Profound Realm, each stronger than the last.
This last one is the terrifying one that has caused the deaths and annihilation of many cultivators, so he saved the Jia Rong Pill for last.
He spent over a hundred years preparing everything, from protective magical artifacts and martial arts training to elixirs. Today, he is finally about to succeed!
"Boom!"
As a thunderous roar shook the heavens, a bolt of purple lightning struck Zhou Qihua once again.
"Click, click..."
However, an anomaly occurred at that moment.
Suddenly, a golden light shield rose from Zhou Qihua's body. Upon touching the light shield, the lightning bolts all split apart and fell into the ground beside him.
Even so, Zhou Qihua could still clearly feel the terrifying electric current sliding through his skin, and his nerves were on edge the whole time, fearing that something unexpected might happen.
Because he could sense that this heavenly lightning was extremely terrifying; if it were to accidentally strike him, he would instantly turn to ashes and vanish into nothingness.
"Splash..."
Zhou Qihua gritted his teeth and waited for the tribulation to end. After an unknown amount of time, the tribulation clouds in the sky finally dispersed, and the sky returned to clear.
"I...did it...hahaha..."
Upon seeing this, Zhou Qihua was stunned for a moment, then his legs went weak and he knelt on the ground. However, he seemed to be insane, spreading his arms and laughing loudly.
"Rustling..."
Immediately afterwards, he felt the profound energy between heaven and earth suddenly surge wildly, autonomously enveloping him and pouring into his body.
Then, he felt his spirit, which was about to collapse, slowly recover, his wrinkles diminished, and his withered muscles swelled up and became fuller.
"Is this the benefit of breaking through to the Spirit Profound Realm?"
After successfully surviving the tribulation, information about realm levels spontaneously appeared in Zhou Qihua's mind. Above the True Profound Realm was the Spirit Profound Realm, and there were even realms above the Spirit Profound Realm!
"Great, this feeling is fantastic!"
Zhou Qihua looked at the changes in his body with delight, then a cold smile appeared on his lips. "If I had the Chicken Blood Pill, the aftereffects of the lightning tribulation could have been eliminated instantly. Now it seems that it will take more than ten days to stabilize my cultivation. But it doesn't matter. You little beasts, just wait, your death is coming soon!"
