As Zhang Yuhe broke through to the Refinement Realm.
Suddenly, the entire Yunmang Mountain Range changed color, with dark clouds covering the sky, as if the end of the world had arrived.
Countless monsters rushed wildly out of the mountain, creating a considerable beast tide.
Zhang Yuhe stood up, and nine flying swords slowly rotated around him.
He looked up at the sky with a solemn expression.
Dark clouds gathered rapidly, and a huge vortex was forming.
Lightning flashed and thunder roared within the vortex, with occasional blinding flashes of light.
"Is this the Heavenly Tribulation? It is indeed a bit terrifying."
Feeling the terrifying pressure emanating from the heavenly tribulation, Zhang Yuhe became somewhat nervous.
However, the heavenly tribulation gave him very little time to prepare.
A bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket, shimmering with seven colors, rapidly formed from the vortex and struck straight down towards the center of the island.
When the thunder reached the sky above the island.
A faint blue light curtain slowly rose.
The Ren Water Lightning Absorption Array operates rapidly.
The lightning bolts passed through the blue light curtain, and a few were drawn by the light curtain, quickly sliding down towards the lake surface.
Countless lightning bolts struck the lake, creating waves.
The Ren Water Lightning Absorption Formation does indeed have the effect of weakening the Heavenly Tribulation.
The power of the lightning has been reduced slightly due to the weakening effect of the formation.
Nevertheless, Zhang Yuhe still dared not underestimate them.
He quickly pulled out a blue bead.
A low-grade defensive Heavenly Treasure, the Azure Profound Pearl.
As magical power was infused, the surface of the Azure Pearl emitted a strong light.
The Azure Pearl formed an azure barrier above Zhang Yuhe's head.
boom……
At this moment, the first heavenly tribulation finally arrived.
Thunderbolts struck the cyan light screen, producing a deafening roar.
The cyan light screen instantly began to vibrate violently.
Countless tiny lightning bolts struck Zhang Yuhe through the light barrier.
It gave him a tingling, itchy feeling.
These tiny flashes of lightning seemed to be transforming his physical body.
Zhang Yuhe felt that his physical strength seemed to have increased somewhat.
For cultivators, heavenly tribulations are both a test and a benefit.
As long as a cultivator survives the Heavenly Tribulation, their physical body will be greatly strengthened.
This is also an important reason why the strength of a Void Refinement cultivator is far greater than that of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
After the physical body is strengthened by the Heavenly Tribulation, it can function even without any supernatural powers or magical treasures.
With just their physical strength, a Void Refinement cultivator can easily lift and beat a Nascent Soul cultivator.
"Fortunately, the first tribulation wasn't too strong."
Zhang Yuhe looked up and saw that the light barrier supported by the Azure Pearl was still intact.
He couldn't help but let out a soft sigh of relief.
Since a low-grade defensive Heaven-Reaching Treasure can withstand the bombardment of a Heavenly Tribulation.
That makes things much easier.
Although this is only the first tribulation, there are still 62 more to come.
Moreover, the power of the heavenly tribulations that follow will definitely increase.
However, Zhang Yuhe now has a slightly better understanding of the situation.
He had prepared quite a few defensive, all-powerful magical artifacts.
Most importantly, he also has the Nine Heavens Primordial Sword Formation as a final safeguard.
As long as these defensive, all-powerful magical treasures can help him hold out for a little longer.
With the Nine Heavens Primordial Sword Formation's superior defensive capabilities, we can definitely withstand those last few bolts of lightning.
As for why the Nine Heavens Primordial Sword Formation wasn't used at the beginning?
The reason is simple: he can't reveal his hand from the start.
Moreover, the Nine Heavens Primordial Sword Formation, although possessing unparalleled defensive capabilities.
However, as the foundation of the sword formation, his natal magic weapon is the Nine Heavens Primordial Sword.
At this point, it is still a low-grade Heavenly Treasure, and it may not be able to withstand the bombardment of the Heavenly Tribulation.
He had just broken through to the Void Refinement Realm and had no time to upgrade his natal magic weapon.
If the heavenly tribulation were to shatter his natal magic weapon, he would have nowhere to even cry.
Therefore, Zhang Yuhe planned to save the Nine Heavens Primordial Sword Formation for last.
He would use ordinary defensive magical artifacts to hold out for a while, since he had prepared quite a few anyway.
When ordinary spiritual treasures can no longer withstand the heavenly tribulation, then the Nine Heavens Primordial Sword Formation will be activated.
As the lightning continued to strike, the azure barrier above Zhang Yuhe's head slowly began to crumble.
Click...
After the ninth bolt of lightning struck, tiny cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the Azure Profound Pearl.
Zhang Yuhe quickly retrieved the Azure Pearl and then summoned a yellow shield.
The Xuanyu Shield is also a low-grade defensive Heavenly Treasure.
As magic power was injected, the Xuan Yu Shield erected a yellowish-brown light screen above his head.
...
Time slowly passed, and lightning continued to strike.
The vortex in the sky gradually expanded and grew larger.
The lightning that formed from the vortex grew increasingly powerful.
In the very beginning, a low-grade defensive Heaven-Reaching Treasure could withstand nine bolts of lightning.
Later on, each low-grade Heaven-Reaching Treasure could only withstand two or three bolts of lightning before becoming unusable.
Zhang Yuhe's expression was somewhat solemn.
We've only just passed the fifth round, and the effectiveness of low-grade defensive Heavenly Treasures in resisting Heavenly Tribulations is rapidly diminishing.
Fortunately, he was well-prepared.
If each of these powerful spiritual treasures can completely withstand the impact of a heavenly tribulation, that will be enough.
...
While Zhang Yuhe was undergoing his tribulation, chaos erupted around Yunzhong Prefecture.
A large number of demonic beasts rushed out of the Cloud Python Mountains, putting enormous pressure on the surrounding cities.
At first, many people thought it was a beast tide.
The various forces within the city united to prepare for the monster siege.
However, not long after, they saw dark clouds covering the sky above the Cloud Python Mountains.
Hearing the distant rumble of thunder, everyone seemed to understand something.
The town's garrison in the clouds.
Wang Guofeng and his two companions stood outside the mansion gate.
Seeing the strange phenomenon in the distance, Qian Weiguang muttered to himself.
Is this a heavenly tribulation?
Sun Pengcheng, standing next to him, answered subconsciously.
"I'm not quite sure. I've never seen a cultivator undergo tribulation before, but judging from the strange phenomenon in the distance, it looks very similar to the heavenly tribulation described in ancient texts."
"I wonder if it's a cultivator or a demon beast undergoing tribulation?"
The Cloud Python Mountain Range is home to numerous demonic beasts, including those of the seventh and eighth tiers, and quite a few of the sixth tier.
When a demon beast breaks through to the seventh rank, a heavenly tribulation will also descend.
According to ancient records, there are records of demonic beasts undergoing tribulations in the Yunmang Mountain Range in the past.
It's just that Qian Weiguang and Sun Pengcheng haven't been practicing Taoism for very long, so they haven't met.
As for Wang Guofeng, he had never even witnessed a cultivator undergoing tribulation.
The three of them stood outside the mansion, all looking somewhat worried.
They just received a report from the city below.
Because there are demonic beasts or cultivators undergoing tribulations in the Cloud Python Mountains.
This caused countless monsters to rush out of the mountains, triggering a considerable beast tide.
Without the garrison commander in the city, they couldn't even activate the defensive formations of Cloud City.
What will happen once the beast tide reaches the foot of Cloud City?
Suddenly, Qian Weiguang said with a hint of speculation.
"Do you think the person undergoing tribulation might be the garrison commander?"
"No way, if the garrison commander is going to undergo tribulation, shouldn't he need someone to protect him?"
"That's not necessarily true. Three days ago, the garrison commander suddenly went out, and now there's a heavenly tribulation descending in the Cloud Python Mountains. I think it's probably because the garrison commander just broke through to the Void Refinement Realm and is undergoing the heavenly tribulation."
"If the garrison commander successfully survives the heavenly tribulation, wouldn't he become an elder of the Dao Saint Sect?"
"Yes, Your Excellency's talent is extraordinary; we can only look up to you in awe."
Qian Weiguang and Sun Pengcheng stood to the side and discussed in hushed tones.
Wang Guofeng did not interrupt.
To be honest, he still doesn't understand what happened.
The concept of heavenly tribulation was too far removed from his life.
Moreover, as a player who entered Yu Fan Tian from Blue Star, he still lacks some knowledge of many common cultivation practices.
For example, the celestial tribulation in the distance.
If Qian Weiguang hadn't told him, he wouldn't have known at all.
The strange phenomenon in the distance indicates that a cultivator or demon beast is undergoing tribulation.
At first, Wang Guofeng thought it was a sudden natural disaster.
Regarding the speculation about Qian Weiguang and Sun Pengcheng.
Wang Guofeng felt both anticipation and uncertainty.
If the person undergoing tribulation in the Cloud Python Mountains at this moment is Zhang Yuhe...
As a player who also came from Earth, he was naturally very happy.
However, Wang Guofeng was somewhat hesitant.
Once Zhang Yuhe breaks through to the Refining Void Realm, he will become an elder of the Dao Saint Sect.
Can he still hold onto that big, thick leg?
I'm so conflicted.
