“Senior Brother Wu Feng obtained a total of nine things… One of them is the Auspicious Divine Fruit, which I’d already consumed. I managed to obtain 23 things, and one of them is the prominent divine artifact with an incomplete soul, which I’d given to Senior Brother Wu…”
In other words, Duan Ling Tian still had 30 treasures from the Divine Sanctuary.
Over the next two days, Duan Ling Tian carefully studied the treasures that he did not have the time to study before. There were still a few treasures that he was not familiar with. The remaining treasures he could identify could only be used when he became a Lord of Gods. In fact, more than 90% of the
treasures he obtained could only be used by Lords of Gods or those who were stronger. He did not find it surprising, After all, Qin Wu, who created the Divine Sanctuary, was a rudimentary Emperor of Gods. It was only natural that Qin Wu would not have kept items that were useless to him. In fact, he was
certain that Qin Wu did not have time to trade the treasures that could only be used by Lords of Gods for something more useful.
“The only thing that can help with my cultivation now among the treasures is the Heavenly Divine Pills. It can help Kings of Gods improve their strength. As for these two treasures, they’re completely useless to me…”
The two treasures that Duan Ling Tian mentioned could only help with comprehending the profundities of certain laws. Unfortunately, the law of space was not one of them.
“The Heavenly Pills’ efficacy will start to decline after the third pill, and they’ll become completely useless after the tenth pill…” Duan Ling Tian murmured to himself as he looked at the six Heavenly Divine Pills.
“The treasures I obtained this time are pretty good. It’s just that I can’t use most of them now…” Duan Ling Tian said with a smile.
‘When he was putting away the pill bottle, his eyes suddenly lit up as he raised his head to look at the sky. “The Heavenly Tribulation will come in two hours!”
Although there were still two hours left, Duan Ling Tian flew up into the sky. He sat cross-legged in the air as he closed his eyes and rested, waiting for the time to pass.
A gentle breeze blew past, causing the flowers and the leaves on the trees in the valley to sway. After a while, it began to drizzle lightly.
When the raindrops were a certain distance away from Duan Ling Tian, they would flow to the sides, avoiding him. This was due to his current cultivation base. Even if he did not consciously mobilize his Divine Energy, his Divine Energy would automatically form a barrier around him. Let alone a slight
drizzle, even if it stormed and there was torrential rain, his Divine Energy would still keep him dry.
After two hours had passed, dark clouds began to gather above the remote valley. At the same time, purple lightning bolts like purple pythons began to flash in the sky.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of the thunder shook the earth.
Birds and the beasts on land began to flee, foreshadowing a disaster. There was a small commotion in the valley.
After a quarter of an hour, the lightning and the thunder grew even more intense.
Apart from Duan Ling Tian and the plants, there were no living things in the valley.
“It’s finally here…”
Duan Ling Tian opened his eyes and looked at the dark sky that flashed with lightning.
Boom!
A thunderous noise rang in the air as nine huge lightning bolts that looked like dragons struck down from the heavens toward Duan Ling Tian.
“No one knows when the first Heavenly Tribulation would come after becoming a King of Gods… It may take a few days, ten days, half a month, or even a few months. However, it won’t take more than a year. As for the remaining Heavenly Tribulations, they would come every 1,000 years. There would be
ten strikes from each Heavenly Tribulation. For the first strike from the tribulation, there’ll be nine lightning bolts. The second strike will have 19 lightning bolts that are even more powerful. The numbers and strength would increase with each strike. During the tenth strike, there’ll be 99 lightning bolts,
and their strength is 11 times stronger than the ones during the first strike…”
Duan Ling Tian had leamed about this long before he broke through and became a rudimentary King of Gods so he was rather calm now that he was facing the Heavenly Tribulation. It looked as though he was not the one facing the Heavenly Tribulation.
‘It’s rumored that if one resists the Heavenly Tribulation, all the force from the Heavenly Tribulation would be released at once. Before coming to the Realms of Gods, I remember Sister Water telling me that I might be able to comprehend the law of thunder through the Heavenly Tribulation…
Swoosh!
When the nine lightning bolts struck, Duan Ling Tian rose to his feet and teleported higher up into the sky. He kept teleporting until he was close to tribulation clouds. Then, he stared at the dark clouds and muttered to himself, “If I try to disperse the clouds, it’ll release the force of the Heavenly
Tribulation all at once. This is the most efficient and fastest way to pass the Heavenly Tribulation…”
After that, Duan Ling Tian mobilized the Space Elemental Profundity and fisted his hand. It was as though he was imbuing his fist with the force to shatter space.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At this time, the nine lightning bolts struck again at Duan Ling Tian. This time, he did not teleport away. Instead, he ignored them. Following that, he punched his fist out, releasing a violent spatial energy with the force of a mountain toward the dark clouds from the tribulation.
As soon as the spatial energy dispersed the dark clouds, the thunder and the lightning suddenly disappeared. It was like the calm before the storm. Following that, the tribulation clouds gathered again. This time, they glowed with a purple light before they burst forth with a terrifying force.
Boom!
An earth-shattering noise rang in the air following the outburst of power that stirred up a mushroom cloud.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As thunder clapped and lightning flashed in the sky, Duan Ling Tian faced the immense force of the explosion from the tribulation clouds.
A spherical space barrier protected Duan Ling Tian, blocking the explosive lightning bolts that struck at Duan Ling Tian. In the barrier, he looked at the center of the explosion that flashed with a white and purple light that grew in intensity with every flash; it looked like a firework, and it was the most
dazzling firework he had seen in his two lifetimes.
After a while, the force of the explosion gradually died down, and everything returned to normal.
In just an instant, the dark clouds disappeared, revealing clear blue skies.
Duan Ling Tian, who was still hovering in the air, was completely unharmed by the explosion earlier. Even his purple robe did not move.
“The combined force of the Heavenly Tribulation is truly terrifying… Even Chu Han, the disciple of the Flying Dragon Sect, wouldn’t have been able to withstand such an explosive force without the help of a divine artifact if he were in my shoes
Instead of using a divine artifact, Duan Ling Tian’s Mastery Dao, one of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth, had helped him easily overcome the Heavenly Tribulation as well. After all, due to the commotion in the sky, even if there were people around, they would not be able to see that he was using his
Mastery Dao.
“Hm? Is this the Thunder Elemental Profundity?”
Soon after, Duan Ling Tian saw a mysterious energy flashing with purple lightning bolts snaked out.
Earlier, when he was looking at the flashing lightning bolts in the middle of the tribulation clouds, he had been comprehending the law of thunder and managed to comprehend the Thunder Elemental Profundity.
“Sister Water is right. I can comprehend the law of thunder through the Heavenly Tribulations…”
When he was still in the Devata Realm, the World Cleansing Divine Water, one of the Five Divine Elements, had told him about this, but he felt rather skeptical. After all, based on his experience, it was not so easy to comprehend a law. However, he managed to comprehend a profundity from the law of
thunder to the rudimentary stage, which he had never encountered before, in such a short time..
