Chapter 1314 The golden cicada escapes from its shell
A peerless genius, so what?
What can you do if you have the most precious treasure?
In the end, it was all in vain.
The destruction of the physical body means that he has failed to overcome the tribulation this time!
The physical body is the foundation of cultivators.
Especially for genius cultivators, the physical body is the top priority.
Nascent Soul is only formed after the physical body has been cultivated to be strong enough.
Once you lose your foundation, even if you can survive, your future achievements will be difficult to compare with before.
Whether it is the speed of cultivation or strength, it has declined in all aspects.
Lin Mu has the Five Elements Spiritual Root and the Five Elements Sword Body. Such a powerful talent cannot be possessed by other geniuses.
Not to mention, his physical body has already been promoted to the Mahayana stage, close to the middle stage of the Mahayana. Those who practice the body-seizing and integration stage are absolutely inferior to their previous physical bodies.
This is even more unrealistic for those practicing in the Mahayana stage.
The destruction of the physical body was the most fatal blow to Lin Mu!
But now, Lin Mu had no time to feel sad or lament.
The question now is no longer the physical destruction, but whether he can still survive after failing to overcome the tribulation?
Or, if his pursuit is higher, can he try to maintain his cultivation level? If he can maintain his cultivation level in the integration stage, even if he drops to the early integration stage, he still has a chance to make amends.
As long as he takes away a physical body, he will still be a cultivator in the integration stage.
If his cultivation level drops to the Return to Void Stage, or even to a lower level, then he will really have to start over again and experience the Thunder Tribulation of the Concentration Stage and the Thunder Tribulation of the Return to Void Stage.
Of course, if you can live, even if you have to start over, it will be nothing.
Lin Mu could accept it.
Because even if he had to start over, he would know what the peerless thunder calamity in the integration stage looks like and how powerful it is.
He can improve his strength with more direction and purpose.
This time, he didn't reach his strongest state at all during the tribulation!
Especially the Qianyun Sword Formation, this peerless killing weapon, it is a pity that he did not reach the level of Dacheng!
If he had to start over again, he would realize that the boundless killing field he had comprehended, and his knowledge of swordsmanship, would not disappear out of thin air due to the destruction of his physical body.
Such a powerful swordsmanship is enough to make his thunder calamity reach the level of peerless thunder calamity.
But the physical bodies of other cultivators he took away were definitely not as good as his own previous ones.
In this way, he will overcome the tribulation again, and the power of the thunder tribulation should not be as powerful as this time.
And his preparations can be even more complete!
This time, he was able to gather nineteen peak practitioners in the integration stage to help him overcome the disaster.
Next time, why can't he gather fifty peak practitioners in the integration stage to help overcome the disaster?
Even, just to be on the safe side, he would find a way to gather a hundred peak practitioners in the integration stage!
He can also practice the Qianyun Sword Formation to the level of perfection!
If possible, he would even find a way to unlock the second seal of the Heaven-Slaying Sword!
He can warm and temper his Five Elements Magic Mirror, Qingyun Cauldron, Golden Light ***, Fire Cloud Battle Armor, these peerless spiritual treasures to become even more powerful!
As long as he can survive, Lin Mu is not afraid even if he has to start over!
The real strong man is not that he is never defeated, but that he can still get up after failure!
Although such a blow was very painful, Lin Mu would not feel despair and would just give up on himself and willingly die in this sea of thunder.
However, now Lin Mu has completely lost control.
Although he still maintained hope in his heart, the reality was extremely tragic.
He knew very well that even if he saved his life, as long as his cultivation level dropped below the integration stage, Wei Fan, Xiang Batian and others would definitely attack him, kill him, and rob him of his treasures and inheritance.
Under the fifteenth level of thunder tribulation, Lin Mu felt that his hope of surviving was extremely slim.
Even if they survive, they will probably be killed by Wei Fan, Xiang Batian and others.
For him, it is now a certain death situation!
Lin Mu always felt that his heart was very strong and there was no difficulty or obstacle that could defeat him.
But at this moment, he still felt a little sad.
I have gone through so many difficulties, so many dangers, so many sufferings, and gone through so many twists and turns to get to where I am today, and now, everything will disappear.
He was really unwilling to do so.
boom!
Powerful thunder tribulations kept falling.
Lin Mu had no intention of paying attention to the black shadows. What surprised him was that at some point, twenty black shadows disappeared out of thin air.
Lin Mu tried his best to activate the Five Elements Magic Mirror, the Sky-Slaying Sword, and the Suixin Sword, which was about to run out of power, to resist the increasingly powerful thunder tribulation and make the final struggle.
He hoped that he could survive this last thunderstorm.
But within two breaths, his Xinxin Sword lost all its power and fell down.
The Five Elements Magic Mirror's light is also very dim, and its power is lost in an instant.
Even the most powerful treasure, the Sky-Destroying Sword, seems unable to last until the end of the thunder tribulation.
Lin Mu's natal soul was almost powerless to resist the thunder tribulation's bombardment.
After each lightning strike, his Nascent Soul becomes thinner and his cultivation level decreases.
Late stage of integration, middle stage of integration, early stage of integration...
Seeing that his cultivation level was about to fall back to the Void Return stage, Lin Mu knew that he could not wait any longer.
If this continues, it will be really difficult for him to persist until the thunder tribulation is over.
Even if it is delayed until the thunder tribulation is over, his cultivation level will still decline to an extreme level after the thunder tribulation is over, and there are still peak integration-stage cultivators like Wei Fan and Xiang Batian out there who possess treasures. And there are eight of them!
There was no way he could survive!
If you want to escape, you have to do it now!
While the thunder tribulation is not over yet, maybe he still has some hope!
During the tribulation, if you want to escape from the thunder sea, it will be even more difficult than for ordinary practitioners in the integration stage.
Lin Mu didn't know if he could escape.
But he had no other choice.
However, compared to ordinary tribulation cultivators, he still has a chance.
He also has Lei Yuanying!
Under the bombardment of such a powerful thunder tribulation, Lei Yuanying could not bear it, and his cultivation level had already dropped to the late stage of integration.
If he persists until the thunder tribulation is over, he is afraid that Lei Yuanying will also slip to the stage of returning to virtual reality, or even the stage of concentration.
Lin Mu made a decision immediately.
Of the two Nascent Souls, he left one here to survive the tribulation, while the remaining Nascent Soul tried to escape as much as possible.
His natal Nascent Soul is extremely fragile in the thunder tribulation. If he leaves his natal Nascent Soul to bear the thunder tribulation in the sea of thunder, he is afraid that his natal Nascent Soul will collapse before his Thunder Nascent Soul can escape.
At that time, there will be only one Lei Yuanying left, and his Lei Yuanying cannot escape.
After weighing the situation, Lin Mu had no choice but to make a painful decision and leave his strongest Lei Yuanying here to resist the thunder calamity. At the same time, it was also to deceive Wei Fan, Xiang Batian and others.
His natal soul is trying its best to see if it can escape.
This move of the golden cicada to escape from its shell was his last resort.
If this move also fails, then he is completely doomed!
