Chapter 416: Triple Heavenly Tribulation
Li Xiuchang was so angry that he cursed loudly. It was too obvious that he was targeted!
He had just reached the peak of the tribulation, and normally he would not attract the heavenly tribulation.
Ordinary cultivators, or all cultivators except Li Xiuchang, would only attract the heavenly tribulation when they actively break through to the Mahayana stage after reaching the peak of the tribulation.
Therefore, there would be enough time to prepare the tribulation formation and spiritual treasures, prepare various elixirs, etc.
But when it came to Li Xiuchang, not only did he have to overcome the three-in-one super-strong heavenly tribulation, but as soon as he reached the level of cultivation, the heavenly tribulation came directly to him, leaving him no time to prepare.
Li Xiuchang did not make any preparations, did not have any tribulation elixirs and formations, and did not prepare a bunch of defensive spiritual treasures to resist the heavenly tribulation.
It was equivalent to going to the examination room without reviewing.
This time, he had to "cross the heavenly tribulation naked".
If it was a normal heavenly tribulation, he actually didn't take it seriously at all, his combat power was much stronger than that of cultivators of the same level!
But this is a three-in-one heavenly tribulation after all, so we still have to give it some respect.
Li Xiuchang took his personal treasures and brought his two clones with him.
The clones can help resist the heavenly tribulation, and will not be regarded as external forces, and will not increase the power of the heavenly tribulation.
He flew up and flew out of the sect.
It is better not to pass the tribulation in the sect to avoid causing large-scale damage.
The tribulation cloud is in its early stage of formation and has not yet been completely formed. It can easily pull the tribulation cloud to move.
Although the tribulation cloud has not yet been completely formed, Li Xiuchang has already felt that he is firmly locked by a force of rules.
It is not that he has not thought about taking advantage of this time to take the teleportation array to leave directly, but he estimates that the teleportation array should not work for him for the time being.
And if the teleportation is successful, the heavenly tribulation will just dissipate and will never appear again in the future, then he will have no place to cry.
The tribulation period without passing the heavenly tribulation is incomplete, and he will be trapped in the tribulation period forever and cannot break through.
Therefore, now he can only bite the bullet and face the heavenly tribulation.
At this time, there was an uproar in Xianchen Sect. Many people noticed the sudden condensation of the calamity cloud in the sky. It was dark and dark, making the sky of the entire Xianchen Sect gloomy.
"What is that?"
"It seems that someone is going through the calamity!"
The disciples were talking about it, and people were panicking.
Although Xianchen Sect has produced countless powerful people in the calamity period, no one has ever gone through the calamity in the sect.
They all choose a remote place outside to go through the calamity safely.
Therefore, the disciples of Xianchen Sect have basically never seen such a big scene as going through the calamity with their own eyes.
"Which stupid person is going through the calamity in the sect?"
Such a big commotion naturally alarmed the top leaders of Xianchen Sect. Their first reaction was that there was an undercover.
However, when they scanned with their spiritual sense and found that it was Li Xiuchang who was going through the calamity, they knew that this was impossible.
Elder Li has made many outstanding achievements recently and made important contributions to the sect. It is impossible for him to be an undercover.
And they also saw that Li Xiuchang was pulling the calamity cloud out of the sect.
Swoosh…
Several supreme elders and a group of elders flew out of the mansion, some evacuated disciples, some opened the sect protection formation, and cleared the way for Li Xiuchang.
Some people did not forget to chat with Li Xiuchang: "Elder Li, what's wrong with you?"
They all knew that Li Xiuchang could not have caused the heavenly tribulation in the sect for no reason.
"I was targeted by the dog heavenly way!" Li Xiuchang gritted his teeth and explained the reason: "I just cultivated to the peak of the tribulation, and this heavenly tribulation was forced to come."
"Is there such a thing?"
Many people were a little unconvinced after hearing this, suspecting that Li Xiuchang accidentally caused the heavenly tribulation, and now he is just looking for an excuse to cover it up.
After all, they have never heard of such a situation, and there is no precedent.
But as the calamity cloud condensed little by little, someone noticed something was wrong: "Why does this calamity cloud feel a little too big?"
"How many times has Elder Li gone through the heavenly tribulation?"
"It must be the third heavenly tribulation if he has gone through the peak of the heavenly tribulation, but even if it is the third heavenly tribulation, this calamity cloud is a little too big!"
"The key is that it has not yet condensed into shape, and it is still growing..."
Such an abnormal phenomenon can be seen at a glance by everyone.
Now they have to believe that Li Xiuchang is indeed being targeted by the Heavenly Dao!
"How could this happen? Shouldn't the Heavenly Dao treat everyone equally? Why would it target a cultivator?"
"I have never heard of such a thing, and there is no record of it in ancient books."
"There is no record of a thirty-year-old calamity-crossing period in ancient books!"
"Is this the envy of talents by heaven?"
"It didn't happen before because those people in the past were not worthy of being targeted by the Heavenly Dao, but Elder Li, anything that happened to him is excusable."
While everyone was discussing, Li Xiuchang had already led the calamity cloud all the way out of the Xianchen Sect.
He pulled the calamity cloud as hard as he could and flew past the outer periphery of the sect, frightening the merchants and casual cultivators.
The pressure of the heavenly calamity was absolutely depressing to ordinary low-level cultivators, and even the unformed calamity cloud made them tremble with fear.
Finally, Li Xiuchang came to a barren mountain far away from the Xianchen Sect and stopped. He planned to survive the calamity here.
Moreover, the calamity cloud above his head had basically taken shape. Once it was completely formed, it could not be pulled anymore, and he could not run far.
Li Xiuchang swept his consciousness back and saw a large group of people following him.
Not only the high-level members of the Xianchen Sect, but also many ordinary disciples, casual cultivators and merchants in the outer periphery, were also looking at it from afar.
When he was running around the sect with the calamity cloud, everyone was afraid. Now that he was far away from the sect and found a safe place to pass the calamity, these people all came to watch the fun.
After all, if the lightning struck your head, it was called a heavenly calamity, but if it struck someone else's head, it was called a fun.
"Elder Li, you can pass the calamity with peace of mind, we will protect you." Several Xianchen Sect elders said.
Li Xiuchang nodded and focused on the calamity cloud above his head.
At this time, the calamity cloud was completely formed, covering an area of several miles, which made the high-level cultivators watching secretly gasp.
This calamity cloud is too big!
It was so big that even several supreme elders were communicating privately and secretly marveled. They had never seen such a big calamity cloud when they passed the immortal calamity.
Everyone was worried for Li Xiuchang.
Such a big calamity cloud could not be a decoration. The power of the next heavenly calamity must be extraordinary!
"I'm afraid Elder Li will pass the ninth heavenly calamity!" someone predicted.
There are three heavenly tribulations before and after the Crossing Tribulation Period, and each heavenly tribulation has five to nine levels.
It is said that the number of levels of this heavenly tribulation is closely related to the strength of the crosser. The stronger the strength, the more heavenly tribulations there are, and the difficulty increases accordingly, but the benefits obtained after successfully crossing the tribulation are greater.
Among these five to nine heavenly tribulations, there is one heart demon tribulation and one "Dao tribulation", and the remaining are thunder tribulations, the number of which is between three and seven.
"Here it comes!"
Li Xiuchang looked up suddenly and saw a lightning bolt as thick as an arm coming towards him.
This thunder tribulation is not strong, but it is just an appetizer, and the thunder tribulations that follow will be stronger and stronger.
Li Xiuchang stood there without moving, allowing the thunder tribulations to strike.
After the body endured a thunder tribulation, it felt a little numb.
The heavenly tribulations during the Crossing Tribulation Period are different from the past. There is a special energy hidden in it, which is the key to becoming an immortal.
At this time, Li Xiuchang's body was absorbing the energy in this heavenly tribulation, and he could feel that his body was undergoing some transformation.
The thunder tribulation he had to endure when ascending from the lower realm to the upper realm before was just pure lightning. Li Xiuchang had no hobby of being struck by lightning, so he used magic to resist it directly.
But this time, he chose to take it all.
In fact, using magic to resist this time can also absorb the special energy in the heavenly tribulation, but how can it be as direct as absorbing it directly with the physical body? This is the absorption method with the highest conversion rate!
When the second thunder tribulation fell, Li Xiuchang opened his mouth, took a deep breath, and directly absorbed the thunder tribulation.
This scene stunned everyone around. It is rare to see a physical body resisting thunder tribulation, and now it is swallowing thunder tribulation directly.
Is this thunder tribulation so easy to bully?
Everyone felt the word "fierce" from the young and handsome Elder Li.
Outsiders thought he swallowed the thunder tribulation alive, but in fact, his thunder tribulation only passed through his lungs and did not enter his stomach.
The tobacco pastes that Li Xiuchang usually smoked for internal training were much more powerful than this thunder tribulation. After smoking one thunder tribulation, he felt no pressure, and only felt that his lungs were numb and comfortable.
And under the nourishment and transformation of the energy of the heavenly tribulation, his internal training strength, which had not improved much for a long time, seemed to have broken through a bottleneck and began to improve rapidly.
Then the third and fourth thunder tribulations were all inhaled by Li Xiuchang.
For the fifth heavenly tribulation, he still chose to withstand it with his physical body, and there was no pressure.
"It's already five thunder tribulations! There are probably two more!"
People around were talking about it. It was really cool to see Li Xiuchang pass the tribulation. There was a sense of coolness that he could push everything. After five thunder tribulations, Li Xiuchang didn't even use any magic power, and he just relied on his physical body to withstand it.
Those who have insight have already seen that Li Xiuchang definitely practiced physical training, and he has reached a very high level!
"How did he do it?"
It's incredible to be in the Tribulation Crossing Stage at the age of 30. The key is that he still has time to cultivate his body and master a lot of high-level immortal cultivation skills...
Li Xiuchang's heart was calm and he didn't feel happy because he easily resisted five thunder tribulations.
Others thought that he could withstand at most seven thunder tribulations, but in fact, only he knew that he was crossing a three-in-one heavenly tribulation platter.
Seven thunder tribulations are not his limit. God knows how many thunder tribulations the dog heavenly way has arranged for him!
According to the rules, a heavenly tribulation must pass at least three thunder tribulations and at most seven thunder tribulations.
His three-in-one heavenly tribulation, directly multiplied by three, must pass at least nine thunder tribulations, and the upper limit is 21 thunder tribulations!
The specific number depends on whether the heavenly tribulation is a human being...It seems that the heavenly tribulation is not a human being.
Li Xiuchang has already made the worst plan in his heart.
So he is also retaining his strength. In the early stage, he tried his best to use his physical body to withstand these small thunder tribulations. Not only did he not consume much, but he could also use it to strengthen his physical body.
Li Xiuchang absorbed one of the sixth and seventh thunder tribulations, and withstood one with his physical body.
At this point, whether it was directly with his physical body or withstood the thunder tribulations, although he could still bear it, he could already feel a little pain, not as easy as at the beginning.
When the eighth thunder tribulation condensed, there was an uproar around!
"How could there be an eighth thunder tribulation!"
"Shouldn't it be the inner demon tribulation?"
"Elder Li's heavenly tribulation broke the record."
"How many thunder tribulations will there be?"
Li Xiuchang also wanted to know how many there would be, and he conservatively estimated that there would be no less than fifteen.
The key point is not how many thunder tribulations there are, but that the power of this thunder tribulation is constantly increasing. The more thunder tribulations there are, the more powerful the subsequent thunder tribulations will be!
The ninth, the tenth...
Li Xiuchang used his physical body and his iron lungs to digest the three consecutive thunder tribulations alternately.
Although his physical cultivation was only at the early stage of the eighth level, his physical strength had long surpassed that of ordinary eighth-level physical cultivators. However, he had never passed the heavenly tribulation. Even if he madly added points to the Vajra Dharma, it only improved the comprehensive attributes of his physical body and could not achieve a breakthrough in his physical cultivation realm.
As early as when his physical cultivation was still at the seventh level, Li Xiuchang's physical strength was comparable to that of a Mahayana cultivator.
After breaking through to the eighth level of physical cultivation, in terms of strength, speed, defense, etc., he actually surpassed the physical strength of a Mahayana cultivator.
It was an empty value, but there was no matching cultivation realm.
And now, after being "nourished" by the heavenly tribulation, the missing parts were made up, and his physical cultivation also soared wildly.
"Middle eighth level!"
"There is still room for improvement..."
Continue to absorb the thunder tribulation, the physical cultivation can continue to improve, and the strength of the internal organs also soared all the way after breaking through the bottleneck, breaking the limit again.
Li Xiuchang had just endured the tenth heavenly tribulation, and he already felt the pressure. Not only was it painful, but if he continued to endure the following thunder tribulations, he might get hurt.
But how could he not get hurt when going through a tribulation?
Although he had not made any preparations, he had prepared a lot of healing pills in his storage bag on a daily basis, and taking healing pills during the tribulation was allowed by the rules of heaven.
After that, Li Xiuchang endured the eleventh and twelfth heavenly tribulations more easily than he had imagined.
He estimated that it was probably a breakthrough in his physical cultivation that made his physical body more capable of endurance, which could be regarded as "fighting to support fighting".
When it came to the thirteenth heavenly tribulation, Li Xiuchang was finally injured, his physical body was broken in many places, and blood spurted out.
He took the healing pills directly, and instantly suppressed the injury.
The healing pills he prepared were of course top-level.
Fortunately, after enduring the fourteenth heavenly tribulation, his physical cultivation finally entered the late eighth stage!
The improvement of his physical training made his body more resilient, at least he could withstand two more waves with his physical body alone.
At this time, the people around him were already numb.
"When will this thunder tribulation end?"
"Look at this, will you not stop until Elder Li is struck to death?"
"Don't be such a pessimist, Elder Li hasn't used his full strength yet, and he hasn't even used his magic power yet!"
"That's right, Elder Li has been very calm, obviously he has it all planned out."
Li Xiuchang was calm on the surface, and he was not panicking in his heart, but it didn't stop him from cursing in his heart.
Especially when the seventeenth thunder tribulation fell, he had already cursed the ancestors of the Heavenly Dao, regardless of whether it had ancestors or not.
"Dog Heavenly Dao, you're not really going to give me twenty-one thunder tribulations, are you?" (End of this chapter)
