Since Bai Xianer had already turned into a human, that meant she had pa.s.sed the Heaven's Tribulation test. Her tribulation was a success.

Bai Xianer was the challenger of the tribulation. The only reason she dared to continue chatting with Ling Yun and put on her clothes was because she felt that the black tribulation clouds above her disappeared completely. She knew that her Heaven's Tribulation had pa.s.sed.

Ling Yun's tribulation experiences were padded as well. He had even gone through the terrifying Heaven's Tribulation during his tribulation phase. Obviously, he knew that Bai Xianer had already pa.s.sed her tribulation. Otherwise, there was no way he would have rushed over so nonchalantly.

As for the tribulation clouds above them, Ling Yun's full attention was on Xian Er. In that moment, he didn't think about it any further. He instinctively thought that the Heaven's Tribulation was different because he was in a different world.

That wasn't all. Since every tribulation challenger had different physiques and trained different cultivation styles, they experienced the Heaven's Tribulation differently. Each individual's experience, concept, and faith toward tribulation were different. Obviously, each Heaven's Tribulation differed. Even though it was through the same medium of lightning tribulation, the differences beyond that were huge!

However, everything under the world was nothing but a test! This was something that was the same for all cultivators!

As a strike of lightning had descended on him out of nowhere, all of Ling Yun's hair stood on end. He was enraged!

This was Little White's tribulation cloud. Why on earth would it attack him? Didn't it have other things to do?

Ling Yun knew that it definitely wouldn't have missed. He felt unease bubbling within.

The tribulation cloud above his head continued rumbling uncontrollably as it loomed closer to the ground. Obviously, n.o.body would respond to Ling Yun's word. Only the second strike of lightning responded!

"Kacha!"

It was yet another strike of blinding lightning. Slicing out from the tribulation cloud, it landed firmly onto Ling Yun's head!

"Xian Er, get away!"

Struck by this shot, Ling Yun's body toppled forward as he quickly yelled for Little White to run!

Being struck by two shots of lightning, how could Ling Yun not realize that the strike was aimed at him? He was about to go through his tribulation as well!

"The h.e.l.l, it can't be! The Physique Tempering Stage Seven's lightning tribulation is coming for me now?"

Gooseb.u.mps p.r.i.c.ked on his skin as he yelled uncontrollably. With a flicker of his body, he ran two hundred meters away with his Dragon Fish Phantom Ability. He simultaneously took out a Level One Lightning Trap Talisman, using it on himself.

"Kacha!" Yet another strike of lightning descended. However, Ling Yun had used the Lightning Trap Talisman this time. More than half of the lightning was absorbed by the talisman, leaving Ling Yun completely unhurt.

d.a.m.n, what's going on? I was just about to reach the late stages of the Physique Tempering, and you're attacking me with the lightning tribulation now? Are you even planning to give me a chance to live?

After three strikes of lightning, Ling Yun's body was scorched black. His clothes turned to ashes, leaving only remnants on his body. Even though he wasn't hurt at all, he looked haggard as all his hair stood straight.

Now, Ling Yun was at the pinnacle of Physique Tempering Stage Six. In fact, he already managed to grasp onto the door of stage seven of his cultivation. He was only a step away from his breakthrough.

When he was in the Great Cultivation World, Ling Yun began his tribulations when he was at the base cultivation phase. When he made it to the tribulation phase, he had moved past eleven major cultivation realms and thirty-three minor realms. He had just fulfilled the quota of thirty-three realms.

Making it through thirty-two Heaven's Tribulations with everything he had, he didn't expect to be completely destroyed in his final tribulation, only making it through with a wisp of his soul left.

However, once he reached Earth, not to mention base cultivation, just as he reached the late stages of Physique Tempering, the Heaven's Tribulation was about to descend on him. He hadn't even reached the Qi Cultivation phase yet. Obviously, he was mad!

Thinking about this, his rage boiled. Actually, he already guessed what happened. Ling Yun understood this best. Whether the Heaven's Tribulation came for you depended on your true abilities, not the level of your realm!

Cultivators that used their realms to distinguish themselves were only a good benchmark against themselves. However, the Heavenly Dao's lightning tribulation depended on heaven's standards!

It was true that Ling Yun was about to enter the late stages of the Physique Tempering Realm. However, the soul in his body was the mighty tribulation soul!

His current soul and his old spirit weren't handling the same matter. There was no way it could increase its power, but there was something unavoidable — their understanding of the Dao!

In such a resource-scarce place, Ling Yun was able to progress to become a cultivator in the mid-stages of Physique Tempering from a useless errand boy. This was obviously something that couldn't be achieved without his outstanding physique!

Just because his mind understood how to do it, did that mean that he could use the Dragon Fish Phantom Ability right off the bat? Could he use the Tiangang Demon Fist just like that? The Incinerating Fist? Could one cultivate the Yin-Yang harmony balance just like that?

Absolutely not!

Furthermore, everything cultivation-related remained clear in Ling Yun's head. He remembered it as clear as day. However, that didn't mean he didn't have to train before he could use all of those skills!

This was something completely different from using one's memory to memorize something and recite it!

For any martial art, something that your brain could understand was just something you knew. However, executing it was something that required time, practice, and hard work before it could be used well!

However, Ling Yun didn't train himself for any of that. Be it the Dragon Fish Phantom Ability, Tiangang Demon Fist, Incinerating Fist, or the terrifying Stellar Condensation Technique and Yin-Yang harmony balance, he was able to use it the moment he reached the necessary stage of Physique Tempering!

In the first place, all those techniques weren't regular techniques. Those were the strongest abilities that only an exceptionally strong cultivator at the late stages in the Great Cultivation World could use. They were all extraordinary techniques. Each of them was top-secret, belonging to the strongest sects!

Otherwise, there was no way Ling Yun could defeat his enemies from the strongest ancient sects even though he was three to four major realms below them!

In that case, how was Ling Yun able to use these techniques without practice?

The answer was… his soul was at the tribulation phase! His brain thoroughly understood the Heavenly Dao. He had an insanely strong soul that understood nearly everything about it!

A soul that was undergoing the tribulation phase, a body that could absorb all of the Qi in the world, and a brain that contained all sorts of top-cla.s.s techniques. This created the cultivation-legend, Ling Yun!

Originally, all of that wasn't enough to call upon the Heaven's Tribulation. However, Ling Yun didn't stop there. With the Xiantian True Qi that was bestowed upon him from the Emperor Brush and Earth Emperor's Book, his Yin-Yang harmony balance and Stellar Condensation Technique soared!

From the moment he began his Qi Cultivation phase, once Ling Yun truly obtained the divine sense, the method to create talismans efficiently, create weapons, and even walk through air. He would be able to kill easily!

Furthermore, once he entered the late stages of Physique Tempering, Ling Yun's Wisdom Brow began moving from time-to-time to prepare for the transformation of Qi to his spirit. The most important thing was that this time, the Yin-Yang harmony balance Ling Yun developed was far too frightening and outrageous!

Without even comparing him with regular warriors, whenever Ling Yun compared his realm to his past self, he already knew how terrifying he had become!

If he took the Ling Yun that was at the pinnacle of Physique Tempering Stage Six to compete with the current Ling Yun, the current him would definitely be able to kill his past self in an instant!

Furthermore, if he compared his two selves thoroughly, Ling Yun's current abilities would be able to kill his past self at the pinnacle of Physique Tempering instantly. This showed how terrifying he was!

The current Ling Yun was able to kill his past self, who was four realms above him. As his abilities continued to soar, defeating cultivators like Tokugawa Takeo was nothing!

When Ling Yun absorbed the Qi from Bai Xianer's transformation, his abilities surged once again. Before that, Ling Yun already had ability equivalent to a Xiantian Realm Level Four expert. Perhaps he was a little stronger than that.

At the pinnacle of Physique Tempering Stage Six, he had ability equivalent to a Xiantian Realm Level Four cultivator. When he confirmed that this was indeed his Heaven's Tribulation, he already knew that this was his Four Nine Minor Tribulation!

d.a.m.n, this lightning isn't just coming at me out of nowhere! Ling Yun was a little speechless. He asked Bai Xianer to move away from him and to go as far as she could. She definitely shouldn't get anywhere near him.

Ling Yun was very perplexed. If he was about to face the Heaven's Tribulation starting from the late stages of his Physique Tempering, he was going to suffer from now on.

However, he forgot one thing, and that was that the tribulation before him wasn't something he could pa.s.s so easily!

Aunty is lovely, and my sister is so cute, but why do I have to suffer from this lightning's tribulations? d.a.m.n! Using another Lightning Trap Talisman on himself, Ling Yun began using the Stellar Condensation Technique!

At such a speed, it was truly painless to Ling Yun. At most, it would turn his skin a different shade. It wasn't a big deal.

The power of the fourteenth minor realm of the Stellar Condensation Technique showcased itself instantly. The shots of lightning, which were as thick as an arm, struck Ling Yun one after another. However, he looked as if he were completely unaffected by it. Instead, it seemed like he was simply getting a ma.s.sage.

However, such a great opportunity wouldn't be wasted by Ling Yun. Celebrating internally, he used the Yin-Yang harmony balance as each strike of lightning landed on his body. Absorbing the power of the lightning, he strengthened his body and took the pure Yang Qi from it for himself!

"Strike me harder. With just this little bit of power, are you merely trying to scratch my back?"

Ling Yun's entire body glowed red. His burnt, strong body stood tall on the peak of the mountain as he pointed at the skies rebelliously!
