Chapter 597: 388th Chapter Saint Master Crossing the Tribulation

“Which Saint Master is going to cross the tribulation?”

In the Holy City, many powerful figures looked at the tribulation cloud gathering above the Holy Mountain, shocked and exceedingly curious.

On the Holy Mountain, the only ones capable of invoking a tribulation cloud were the three Saint Masters; there could be no one else.

But as to which Saint Master specifically would cross the tribulation, the cloud alone was not enough for them to determine.

Though curious, the powerful figures did not dare to approach the Holy Mountain to investigate any further.

The tribulation cloud gathered atop the Holy Mountain was quite immense, and the heavenly might it emitted was even more terrifying than when that mysterious youth crossed his tribulation.

If they approached now and inadvertently got caught by a tribulation thunder, there would truly be no place for them to cry.

So, everyone had no choice but to remain in the Holy City, waiting with reverence for the cloud to disperse, hoping for an opportunity to investigate.

“The power of this heavenly tribulation is truly fearsome.”

On the Holy Mountain, the Second and Third Saint Masters looked at the tribulation cloud above, equally shocked.

They had thought that with their centuries of accumulation, facing the heavenly tribulation would be somewhat easier.

Now it seemed, they were too optimistic.

Even as the gathering cloud had yet to reach its peak, they already felt their heart and spirit trembling.

Indeed, the Golden Core Tribulation was far more dreadful than they anticipated.

“Elder brother…”

The Third Saint looked to the First Saint Master.

“You all should retreat,” said the First Saint Master, still calm. “The movement of qi has invoked the heavenly tribulation; there is no turning back now. You are both at the perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm; if you linger here and the qi of heaven finds you, it might trigger your own heavenly tribulations as well.”

“Then be careful, elder brother.”

The Second and Third Saint Masters knew that crossing a tribulation was a matter solely reliant on the cultivator themselves; their presence here would not help.

On the contrary, if their own heavenly tribulations were triggered, no one could predict the consequences.

It was certain that the tribulation would become incredibly terrifying and impossible to pass.

Even now, they could feel the qi they had been suppressing within their bodies gently being stirred.

Not daring to hesitate, the two quickly employed their movement techniques, retreating from the mountaintop out of the tribulation’s range.

As Guardians, before reaching the Primordial Spirit Realm, their true bodies could not leave the Holy Mountain.

However, the Holy Mountain was large enough, allowing the heavenly tribulation to cover only a portion of it.

Thus, there was plenty of space for the Second and Third Saint Masters to avoid.

As the two retreated, the tribulation cloud in the sky had almost solidified, its power reaching a peak.

Once they had retreated to a safe distance and looked up again, the tribulation cloud began flickering with lightning.

The First Saint Master looked up at the sky, feeling the power emitted by the tribulation cloud. Though his demeanor remained calm, his eyes grew solemn.

He was confident that his millennium of cultivation and accumulation would allow him to pass the tribulation and achieve the Golden Core.

But the power revealed by the tribulation cloud exceeded his expectations.

“According to Immortal Dao Ancient Books, tribulation clouds come in different colors. Among clouds of the same grade, the deeper the color, the stronger the power.

This cloud, within its deep gray, carries a hint of red; it seems this is the reason for its exceeding power.”

The First Saint Master, who governed the Holy Mountain and ruled the world for a millennium, had naturally received extraordinary legacies and understood the various aspects of cultivation well.

Looking at the faint thread of red in his tribulation cloud, he understood why its power was so formidable.

However…

A determined expression appeared on the First Saint Master’s face.

Despite the unexpectedly formidable power of the tribulation, he believed that he would overcome the calamity and enter the Golden Core Realm.

His confidence was derived from the long accumulation of his cultivation.

As the tribulation cloud’s power intensified, the pulsating lightning grew brighter and began to gather at the center of a vortex.

Not daring to neglect, the First Saint Master mustered all his cultivation, ready and alert.

At the same time, he prepared the Magical Treasure refined within his body, ready to deploy it should he struggle to withstand and defend against the tribulation thunder.

The strong figures within the Holy City felt the cloud’s power, and all were trembling with apprehension.

Even the Second and Third Saint Masters fully restrained their auras, not daring to show any disrespect to the heavenly tribulation.

Finally, under countless gazes, as the lightning at the tribulation cloud’s core brightened to its peak, a white thunder with a hint of red descended, striking the First Saint Master atop the mountain.

“Come on!”

Determination showed in the First Saint Master’s eyes.

He formed a seal technique with his hands, and a giant Earth Dragon suddenly surged from the ground beside him, meeting the falling thunder.

Boom!

The Earth Dragon met the tribulation thunder mid-air, and instantly, the massive Earth Dragon was engulfed in lightning, shattered in a flash.

Yet, through such an obstacle, the power of the first tribulation thunder had been largely diminished.

The thunder, originally as thick as a bucket, shrank to merely the size of an arm, easily dispelled by the First Saint Master’s Earth Magic.

The first tribulation thunder had been overcome by the First Saint Master in this manner.

“Great! The first tribulation thunder was blocked!”

The Second and Third Saint Masters were thrilled to see this scene.

The ease with which elder brother dispelled the first tribulation thunder sparked great hope for successfully crossing this heavenly tribulation!

“The power of the first tribulation thunder is as I’d expected.”

Bathed in abundant Vitality Qi, the First Saint Master’s cultivation technique circulated within him, rapidly absorbing the Vitality Qi imbued with Rule Power, bolstering his confidence further.

Though heavenly tribulations are harsh, the heavens likewise bestow a faint trace of vitality.

With each tribulation thunder endured, the heavens grant Vitality to heal and strengthen the cultivator’s body, offering a sliver of opportunity.

“It’s said that when a cultivator crosses a tribulation, the number of tribulation thunders is not fixed.

Ranging from one to nine, they’ve all been seen before. I wonder how many thunders my heavenly tribulation will have?”

Poised to cross the tribulation, the First Saint Master had made ample preparations.

Aware of all sorts of tribulation-related information, he strove to minimize surprises.

He knew although the number of tribulation thunders isn’t fixed, there is a limit.

Ancient texts reveal the strongest tribulation contains nine tribulation thunders.

Indeed, cultivators capable of invoking a nine-thunder tribulation are exceedingly rare.

Typically, they are those whose cultivation talent defies the heavens and whose accumulation runs unbelievably deep as peerless geniuses.

Or those whose crimes are so grave that even the Heavenly Dao seeks their annihilation as unrivaled devils.

These are the few who might invoke the strongest tribulation.

Otherwise, generally speaking, the more thunders a cultivator triggers, the stronger their talent and accumulation.

Likewise, once the tribulation is crossed, the path of cultivation becomes smoother.

“Let’s see how many tribulation thunders mine will have.”

Looking at the tribulation cloud above, the First Saint Master held anticipation in his eyes.
