Chapter 5, by no means self-praise

Golden light surged into the murky black lightning, emitting only a faint hissing sound. Thick clouds of smoke gushed forth from the seven orifices of the skull, carrying a strong and pungent odor.

The thunder rumbles

Such a continuous and appropriate response, eliminating the thunder calamity at an extremely low cost, is this not the mark of genius

Hmm. However, the female cultivator still only conveyed a single word through sound transmission

At this moment, more than half of the monks present shared the same thought in their hearts as he did

It may be because this unusual thunder calamity is far more powerful than ordinary thunder calamities, and the ancestor responded appropriately, which is why it is like this..." At first, Master Qingyang hesitated in his response, but he felt that this was the only possibility.

The current outcome is that two layers of different types of tribulations have passed, yet the ancestor Tonghui has not lost a single hair. The number of magical treasures consumed is merely a fraction of what is typically used by a Golden Core cultivator undergoing tribulation, and he has hardly expended any true essence.

Should we continue to withstand it with the Yin Lei umbrella

The second black skull and the golden light intertwined in the air for a moment, both almost simultaneously disintegrating

What is the law of heaven?

A piercing and harsh screech resounded once more, as the murky lightning on the shadowy thunder umbrella once again formed a black skull, lunging towards the noticeably diminished golden light.

How could it have endured to the fourth thunder tribulation

Compared to the many Golden Core stage cultivators present, the group of young cultivators still in the Qi Refinement stage appeared as tender as chicks just hatched from their eggs. Yet even they could already discern that the duration of this heavenly tribulation seemed unusually prolonged

The eldest senior brother Qi Jianzu of the Five Sons of Huayang could not help but look at the Qingyang Zhenren in front of him and softly said: "Why does the duration of this second thunder tribulation seem to be shorter than that of the first thunder tribulation?"

The black skull formed from the murky lightning only lasted for a few breaths before completely disintegrating, but the golden light condensed from the calamity thunder was evidently much finer, and its power had noticeably diminished.

This calamity is simply a bit insane

The golden tribulation lightning that condensed into golden light showed no change in its pattern or power, and its duration was only slightly different from that of the second tribulation. When the ninth beam of golden light was extinguished by the Yin Thunder Umbrella of the Ancestor Tonghui, the bottom of the golden tribulation cloud above quietly transformed from gold to red. The atmosphere in the entire sky shifted, clearly indicating that the third tribulation had concluded and the laws of heaven were already nurturing the fourth tribulation.

This is certainly not self-praise

Even among the thirty percent of Golden Core cultivators who survived the first three tribulations, very few are as relaxed as Ancestor Tonghui

Indeed, it is another instance of the alien species' thunderous robbery

The air was instantly filled with the unique pressure of the Golden Elixir cultivators.

Even if he were struck dead by a bolt of lightning right now, it would not seem to tarnish the reputation of the Huayang Sect, nor would it lead people to believe that the Huayang Sect is truly incapable

The laws of heaven and earth remain unchanged; therefore, the only reason that can cause the duration of the tribulation thunder to shorten must be due to the tribulation bearer themselves

The ancient ancestor Tonghui was immediately overjoyed; he did not know what kind of golden calamity thunder this was, but since the Yin Thunder Umbrella could effectively dissipate the power of this golden calamity thunder, he had a chance to withstand this heavy thunder tribulation

The ancient ancestor Tonghui acted in the same manner, and the Yinlei Umbrella unleashed its power twice, dissipating the golden light in the air

The golden calamity clouds densely covering the sky seem to reveal countless iron pots with burn-through holes at their bottoms. Within the glowing red apertures, a mixture of falling fire clouds and thunderbolts resembles thick molten iron.

Wang Li sincerely said this sentence

Immediately thereafter, the golden robbery clouds resounded with a deep rumble of thunder, and another beam of golden light descended.

But the key point is that Master Qingyang is completely unaware of it

His eyes instantly lit up

Indeed, it must be that the ancestral master has discerned the heavenly secrets and responded appropriately, thereby dismantling the very foundation of the calamity thunder, which is why this calamity thunder can only last for such a short period of time

At this moment, the vast majority of the Golden Core cultivators present looked at the center of the Heavenly Tribulation where Ancestor Tonghui was located, their expressions having changed completely from before

By the time the third low rumble of thunder sounded and the third beam of golden light appeared, the heart of the Tonghui Ancestor was already filled with ecstatic joy

In other words, 70% of the Golden Core cultivators have actually exhausted their magical treasures, their true essence, and the spiritual herbs that can quickly replenish their true essence during the first three levels of the Thunder Tribulation

After the first three layers of the异种雷劫, it seems that the heavenly tribulation has suddenly returned to its rightful path. At this moment, what falls is the familiar 丹霄劫雷 of the cultivation world. This is the tribulation thunder that descends in response to the golden core laws of the cultivator undergoing tribulation, as dictated by the laws of the heavenly way. However, in a normal heavenly tribulation, the 丹霄劫雷 appears at the fifth layer, not at the fourth.

The golden tribulation lightning condensed into golden light appears to follow a certain pattern. Although its power is considerable, it seems that the next strike will only appear after the previous one has disappeared. Thus, if the duration of this third layer of tribulation lightning is not excessive, it seems that with just this Yin Thunder Umbrella, one could easily withstand it.

He felt that the tribulation faced by Tonghui Laozu this time provided him with a valuable lesson, broadening his horizons. He believed that in the future, when contemplating issues, he would no longer be as narrow-minded as he had been before

He gazed at the delicate features of the female cultivator, particularly her seemingly dazed eyes, hoping to glean some useful answers from them

The real person Bai Xi, who had long ceased teaching the group of immortal seedlings behind him, furrowed his brows deeply

Dan Xiao Jie Lei

Since they are all unknown types of foreign calamities, based on the experience of the first three tribulations, it seems that using whatever magical artifact one extracts will actually lead to successfully overcoming the tribulation

However, although he himself did not understand how he had muddled through the three tribulations, he certainly could not give up resisting now

He looked up at the golden calamity clouds that seemed to be scorched red at the bottom, and a thought naturally arose in his heart

The Fourth Thunder Calamity has officially commenced

But in the next breath, his thoughts changed immediately

Tonghui Laozu himself was somewhat incredulous

To know is to know, and not to know is not to know, especially in front of one's own teacher; if one does not understand, one must certainly ask

Looking at the golden light, it was formed by numerous bolts of golden lightning, each as thick as an arm, resembling a gigantic golden sword. The ancestor Tonghui had become somewhat accustomed to this sight; he did not dwell on it further. With a flick of his finger, the murky lightning covering the dark thunder umbrella above his head erupted, surprisingly forming a black skull that emitted a piercing and mournful shriek. The skull opened its wide mouth and lunged towards the golden light.

Therefore, Tonghui Laozu is not a mediocre talent at all, but a true genius of the highest caliber

It is the supreme law that transcends all.

At this moment, the blood-red calamity thunder had completely vanished, and a series of deep rumbling sounds echoed within the golden calamity clouds. Suddenly, with a crack, a beam of golden light descended through the clouds

The process remains unclear, yet the result is right before our eyes

Master

Thousands of such fiery clouds and thunderous auras fell towards the venerable ancestor Tonghui like a torrential downpour

At the moment of departure, he suddenly thought of something and turned his head abruptly to look at his senior sister beside him

Countless faint crimson lights traverse through the void, continuously forming mysterious golden threads and some enigmatic symbols that are difficult to articulate

The tribulation for a Golden Core cultivator to advance to the Nascent Soul stage exceeds the protective capabilities of most sects, resulting in a high probability of falling during the seven levels of tribulation. Among all Golden Core cultivators who fail their tribulation, only thirty percent are able to withstand the first three levels of tribulation
