As Zhang Yuhe underwent Breakthrough to the Void Refining Realm.
The entire Cloud Python Mountain Range suddenly saw the winds and clouds change color, with dark clouds obscuring the sky, as if the end of the world had arrived.
Countless Yao Beasts frantically rushed out of the mountains, stirring up a considerable beast tide.
Zhang Yuhe stood up, Nine Flying Swords slowly rotating around his body.
He looked up at the sky with a solemn expression.
Only to see dark clouds rapidly converging, forming a massive vortex.
Lightning flashed and thunder roared within the vortex, occasionally emitting dazzling bright light.
"Is this the Heavenly Tribulation? It truly is a bit terrifying."
Feeling the terrifying pressure emanating from the Heavenly Tribulation, Zhang Yuhe became somewhat nervous.
However, the Heavenly Tribulation gave him almost no time to prepare.
A bolt of lightning, as thick as a water bucket and shining with seven-colored light, rapidly formed from the vortex and struck directly down towards the center of the small island.
When the lightning reached the sky above the small island.
A faint blue light barrier slowly rose.
The Ren Water Lightning Absorption Array quickly activated.
The lightning passed through the blue light barrier, and a small amount of lightning was drawn by the light barrier, rapidly sliding down towards the lake surface.
Countless lightning bolts fell into the lake, stirring up waves.
The Ren Water Lightning Absorption Array indeed had the effect of weakening the Heavenly Tribulation.
After being weakened by the Formation, the power of the lightning had already decreased slightly.
Despite this, Zhang Yuhe still did not dare to underestimate it.
He quickly took out a cyan bead.
A Low Grade defensive Spirit Treasure, the Azure Profound Bead.
As Magic Power was injected, the surface of the Azure Profound Bead emitted a strong light.
The Azure Profound Bead formed a cyan barrier above Zhang Yuhe's head.
Boom…
At this moment, the first Heavenly Tribulation finally arrived.
The lightning struck the cyan light barrier, producing an earth-shattering roar.
The cyan light barrier instantly shook violently.
Countless tiny lightning bolts penetrated the light barrier and struck Zhang Yuhe's body.
Giving him a tingling sensation.
These tiny lightning bolts seemed to be transforming his Physical Body.
Zhang Yuhe felt that the strength of his Physical Body seemed to have increased slightly.
For Cultivators, the Heavenly Tribulation is both a test and a benefit.
As long as one Undergoes Tribulation, the Cultivator's Physical Body will be greatly strengthened.
This is also an important reason why Void Refining Cultivators are much stronger than Soul Transformation Cultivators.
After the Physical Body is strengthened by the Heavenly Tribulation, even without using any Divine Abilities or Magic Treasures.
Just by the power of the Physical Body alone, a Void Refining Cultivator can lift a Soul Transformation Cultivator and beat him.
"Fortunately, the first Heavenly Tribulation is not too strong."
Zhang Yuhe looked up at the top of his head, only to see that the light barrier supported by the Azure Profound Bead was still intact.
He couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Since a Low Grade defensive Spirit Treasure can withstand the Heavenly Tribulation's bombardment.
This makes things much easier now.
Although this is only the first Heavenly Tribulation, there are still 62 more to come.
And the power of the subsequent Heavenly Tribulations will definitely become stronger and stronger.
However, Zhang Yuhe now felt a little more confident.
He had prepared quite a few defensive Spirit Treasures.
Most importantly, he still had the Nine Heavens Primordial Sword Formation as a final guarantee.
As long as these defensive Spirit Treasures could help him hold on for a bit longer.
He would definitely be able to withstand the last few bolts of lightning with the Nine Heavens Primordial Sword Formation's super strong defensive power.
As for why he didn't activate the Nine Heavens Primordial Sword Formation at the beginning?
The reason is simple: he couldn't reveal his trump card from the start.
And although the Nine Heavens Primordial Sword Formation has incredibly powerful defensive capabilities.
As the foundation of the Sword Formation, his Lifebound Treasure, the Nine Heavens Mixed Yuan Sword.
At this time, it was still a Low Grade Spirit Treasure and might not be able to continuously withstand the Heavenly Tribulation's bombardment.
He had just undergone Breakthrough to the Void Refining Realm and simply didn't have time to upgrade his Lifebound Treasure.
If the Heavenly Tribulation were to shatter his Lifebound Treasure, he would have nowhere to cry.
Therefore, Zhang Yuhe planned to keep the Nine Heavens Primordial Sword Formation for as long as possible.
He would first use ordinary defensive Spirit Treasures to hold on for a while, as he had prepared quite a few.
He would only activate the Nine Heavens Primordial Sword Formation when the ordinary Spirit Treasures could no longer withstand the Heavenly Tribulation.
As lightning struck continuously, the cyan barrier above Zhang Yuhe's head slowly began to struggle.
Crack…
After the ninth bolt of lightning, tiny cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the Azure Profound Bead.
Zhang Yuhe quickly retrieved the Azure Profound Bead and immediately brought out a yellow shield.
The Profound Jade Shield, also a Low Grade defensive Spirit Treasure.
As Magic Power was injected, the Profound Jade Shield formed an earthy yellow light barrier above his head.
…
Time slowly passed, and lightning struck continuously.
The vortex in the sky also slowly expanded, becoming larger and larger.
The lightning forming from the vortex became increasingly powerful.
From the very beginning, a single Low Grade defensive Spirit Treasure could block nine bolts of lightning.
Later on, each Low Grade Spirit Treasure would be rendered useless after blocking only two or three bolts of lightning.
Zhang Yuhe's expression was somewhat solemn.
Only the fifth round had passed, and the effectiveness of Low Grade defensive Spirit Treasures against the Heavenly Tribulation was rapidly diminishing.
Fortunately, he had prepared enough.
As long as each Spirit Treasure could fully block one Heavenly Tribulation strike, that would be enough.
…
While Zhang Yuhe was Undergoing Tribulation, the area around Yunzhong Prefecture was in chaos.
A large number of Yao Beasts rushed out of the Cloud Python Mountain Range, putting immense pressure on the surrounding cities.
At first, many people thought it was a beast tide.
The various forces in the cities united, preparing to deal with the Yao Beast attack on the city.
However, not long after, when they saw the dark clouds covering the sky above the Cloud Python Mountain Range.
And heard the distant rumbling thunder, everyone seemed to understand something.
Yunzhong Town Guardian Manor.
Wang Guofeng and the other two stood outside the Manor.
Seeing the distant anomaly in the sky, Qian Weiguang muttered to himself.
"Is this the Heavenly Tribulation?"
Sun Pengcheng, standing beside him, subconsciously replied.
"I'm not sure, I've never seen a Cultivator Undergoing Tribulation, but from the distant anomaly, it looks very similar to the Heavenly Tribulation described in ancient texts."
"I just don't know if it's a Cultivator or a Yao Beast Undergoing Tribulation?"
There are many Yao Beasts in the Cloud Python Mountain Range, even those of the seventh and eighth ranks, and quite a few of the sixth rank.
When Yao Beasts undergo Breakthrough to the seventh rank, Heavenly Tribulation will also descend.
According to ancient texts, there were records of Yao Beasts Undergoing Tribulation in the Cloud Python Mountain Range before.
It's just that Qian Weiguang and Sun Pengcheng hadn't cultivated for long and hadn't seen it.
As for Wang Guofeng, he had never seen the sight of a Cultivator Undergoing Tribulation.
The three of them stood outside the Manor, all looking somewhat worried.
They had just received reports from the cities below.
Because there were Yao Beasts or Cultivators Undergoing Tribulation in the Cloud Python Mountain Range.
This caused countless Yao Beasts to rush out of the mountains, triggering a considerable beast tide.
The Town Guardian was not in the city, and they couldn't even activate Yunzhong City's defensive Formation.
What would they do if the beast tide reached Yunzhong City?
Suddenly, Qian Weiguang said with a hint of speculation.
"Do you think the person Undergoing Tribulation could be the Town Guardian?"
"No way, if the Town Guardian were to Undergo Tribulation, he would need someone to guard him."
"That's not necessarily true. Three days ago, the Town Guardian suddenly left, and now there's a Heavenly Tribulation descending in the Cloud Python Mountain Range. I think it's highly likely that the Town Guardian just underwent Breakthrough to the Void Refining Realm and is currently Undergoing Heavenly Tribulation."
"If the Town Guardian successfully Undergoes Tribulation, wouldn't he become an Elder of the Dao Saint Sect?"
"Yes, his talent is exceptional, we can only look up to him."
Qian Weiguang and Sun Pengcheng discussed quietly beside him.
Wang Guofeng did not interject.
To be honest, even now, he didn't understand what was happening.
Something like Heavenly Tribulation was too far removed from him.
And as a player who entered Yu Fan Heaven from Blue Star, he still lacked a certain understanding of many cultivation common senses.
For example, the Heavenly Tribulation in the distance.
If Qian Weiguang hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have known at all.
That the distant anomaly was a Cultivator or Yao Beast Undergoing Tribulation.
At first, Wang Guofeng even thought it was a sudden natural disaster.
Regarding Qian Weiguang and Sun Pengcheng's speculation.
Wang Guofeng felt both anticipation and apprehension.
If the person currently Undergoing Tribulation in the Cloud Python Mountain Range was Zhang Yuhe.
Then as a player also from Blue Star, he would naturally be very happy.
However, Wang Guofeng was also somewhat apprehensive.
Once Zhang Yuhe underwent Breakthrough to the Void Refining Realm and became an Elder of the Dao Saint Sect.
Could he still cling to this powerful connection?
