"Grandmaster...!"
Su Lin murmured, almost unbelievable conjectures flashing through her mind!
No, this is not a conjecture, but a fact!
It is Li Xingtian undergoing tribulation; he has already formed his core!
What kind of golden core is this that could attract such a terrifying lightning tribulation?
Su Lin stared at it, muttering to himself, momentarily forgetting what he was supposed to do.
He stared blankly at the old figure, thin and frail, yet as proud as an ancient pine, seemingly questioning the heavenly tribulation with a smile.
A Daoist aura emanated from Li Xingtian's body, so powerful that it was visible to the naked eye and difficult to suppress. It also stirred up a wisp of inspiration in Su Lin's heart that was almost impossible to cover up, and it surged up wildly!
We're about to break through!
Unable to break through the realm, not yet having formed the core!
Su Lin awoke with a start, desperately channeling his inner energy to suppress his urge to break through. His body radiated golden spiritual energy, which surged forth as he gritted his teeth and relentlessly suppressed his desire to break through.
"Boom!!"
Another bolt of lightning exploded at this moment, crashing down straight towards Li Xingtian's figure.
The lightning bolt was as thick as a dragon, arriving in an instant with a roar, illuminating the world in white. In the endless light, Su Lin vaguely saw Li Xingtian casually slash his sword diagonally, the tip of the sword touching the tip of the lightning in an instant.
In an instant, Li Xingtian was enveloped in lightning, which then dissipated rapidly in less than a second.
To outsiders, it appeared as if Li Xingtian was struck by a terrifying bolt of lightning, unable to dodge it. But under Su Lin's watchful eye, he sensed something different.
It seems... that the Grandmaster wasn't unable to dodge, but rather was absorbing the power of the lightning.
He was using lightning to temper his body, temper his Dao, and refine and sublimate the ultimate Golden Elixir.
Su Lin had done the same thing, bathing in lightning to temper his bones when he was at the Heavenly Rank Foundation Establishment stage. However, the power of the lightning he experienced then was far less than it is now. With such terrifying lightning striking down, let alone a Foundation Establishment cultivator... even a Golden Core cultivator would be reduced to ashes!
But Li Xingtian remained unharmed, his old body rising without wind, seemingly about to ascend to immortality.
"Grandmaster!"
Su Lin looked up, muttering to herself, not daring to disturb or interfere, and wondering what he was going to do.
"Lei Lai!"
Li Xingtian raised his sword and summoned thunder, and sure enough! The third bolt of lightning crashed down!
"Boom!!!"
This one was thicker and more turbulent, as if it were the wrath of heaven, punishing all living beings.
In another dazed moment of snow-covered heaven and earth, after the thunder dissipated, Su Lin was shocked to find that Li Xingtian had vanished without a trace!
"Where is our grandmaster?!"
Was it struck by lightning and disappeared?
That's not right. The first two attacks were fine, and the third one should have caused serious injury at most. It shouldn't have killed him to the point of being completely obliterated!
While Su Lin was filled with doubt and uncertainty, several thunderclaps suddenly exploded in the sky.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The heavenly tribulation exploded in the thunderclouds, dense and deafening, with purple lightning dragons flashing continuously in the clouds, also reflecting a faint, invisible human figure.
Su Lin looked up abruptly and exclaimed in surprise, "How did they get inside?!"
What kind of logic is this? Getting beaten down there isn't enough, do they have to crawl inside to take a bath?
"Hahaha! That's satisfying, absolutely satisfying!"
In a daze, Su Lin heard Li Xingtian laughing heartily, the laughter coming from the clouds. The figure neither dodged nor avoided, nor raised his sword, letting the lightning pierce through him.
Judging from his voice, he was still unharmed, but his actions were particularly shocking.
The most terrifying lightning strikes every inch of his body at close range. This is the way to temper bones and strengthen the body, but why is he able to withstand it?
Su Lin was puzzled. He endured the discomfort of the thunderous pressure and the rising pain of coughing up blood, trying to fly closer to take a look.
He was so confused that he wanted to see what was going on, even if it meant getting struck by lightning.
However, given Li Xingtian's actions, the Heavenly Tribulation wouldn't even care about him, let alone anyone else.
When Su Lin flew close enough that he could almost touch the thundercloud with his hand, he finally saw it clearly!
Deep within the thunderclouds, a golden, round pill, about the size of a fist, floated before Li Xingtian. Nine Dao patterns emerged from it, reflecting a magnificent and enormous azure dragon and tiger amidst the constant bombardment of thunder.
This terrifying phenomenon prompted Su Lin to blurt out, "The Nine-Turn Dragon-Tiger Golden Elixir!!"
Grass!
How can the old man be so vigorous!
He had only been down the mountain for nine days when the old man not only broke through to the Core Formation stage, but also attracted a heavenly tribulation. Attracting a heavenly tribulation was bad enough, but he also condensed the most top-grade Golden Core!
This is the most exquisite Golden Elixir in the example of the mechanism; it is of the highest quality, and there is nothing stronger!
What Su Lin couldn't understand the most was that such a top-grade golden pill should have been swallowed and nurtured, for fear of losing it.
But Li Xingtian did not. He revealed his golden core, which left his body and bathed in the lightning tribulation together with him!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Almost every second, dozens of bolts of lightning exploded, the speed increasing rapidly, the sky bright as day, and even the thunderclouds were partially dispersed by the terrifying heavenly tribulation.
But Li Xingtian remained unharmed; it was that golden elixir that protected him.
With such a top-grade golden core in front of him, most of the power of the lightning tribulation was absorbed by the golden core, with only a small portion spilling out to temper Li Xingtian's bones.
"I understand! The Golden Core is inherently one's own method, so what is there to fear about damaging it?"
Su Lin murmured to himself, realizing something: "If it's separated from the body, then it's separated. If it can shatter, then it's not the pill I want. I can just reshape it."
Li Xingtian was too carefree and was not afraid of the consequences of his golden core collapsing. He tempered himself and his golden core at the same time, taking the most incredible step!
If such a golden elixir were to be formed, it would likely be as indestructible as a divine weapon, so solid that it would be terrifyingly durable and could be used as a magic weapon to kill people!
