Chapter 1059: Chapter 1059: This Heavenly Tribulation Is Too Exaggerated, Isn’t It?

An Enlightenment Fruit, three days.

He faintly saw the shadow of that door.

Two Enlightenment Fruits, six days.

He stood in front of the door, clearly saw it, and even pushed it open a crack.

Three Enlightenment Fruits.

On the seventh day, he had the door half open.

On the eighth day, he pushed the door wide open and saw the world beyond it.

On the ninth day, he stepped through.

The sky suddenly began to change.

In the distance, members of the Bandit Group with lighter injuries had already recovered. They were watching the tranquil valley from afar, whispering to each other.

”Today is the tenth day, right?”

”Yes, the effect of the Black Profound Stone Essence Bead lasts only ten days. If he hasn’t broken through the bottleneck today, I’m afraid this breakthrough will be deemed a failure.”

”Mystery upon mystery, it’s been nine days without a stir.”

”Sigh, what’s his background exactly? Clearly a Nascent Soul, but he feels so strong. Facing a Hollow Void, he could effortlessly confront it, without the slightest fear.”

”Well, he’s got skills. If you had the guts to wipe out a few Hollow Voids, you wouldn’t be scared the next time you faced one either.”

As everyone was discussing fervently, the wind suddenly picked up in the sky.

A strong wind.

”Why has it suddenly become windy!”

”Look up at the sky!”

Someone exclaimed, and everyone looked up, noticing the rapid changes in the sky.

The sky quickly grew overcast, and the clouds swiftly turned into dark clouds, stacking on top of each other like a range of black mountains.

It was a clear day, but within a hundred miles, the sky suddenly became covered with heavy clouds.

”Boom!”

A low rumble of thunder echoed through the air, like the muffled sound of war drums, while lightning began to flicker within the thick clouds, visible yet elusive.

”Heavenly Tribulation!”

”The center of the Heavenly Tribulation is exactly where Conner is; he has broken through and is about to face Heavenly Tribulation!”

”He’s broken through!”

Everyone shouted with joy, even Kellan Gentry and Jorge Gross came out of the cave to look up at the sky.

Jorge said in a grave voice, ”He has succeeded.”

Kellan replied, ”Surviving Heavenly Tribulation is what counts as success.”

Above Nascent Soul, every advancement requires one to face Heavenly Tribulation. If one can’t withstand the Heavenly Thunder, they will be struck by it, their Divine Spirit scattered, their body destroyed and their path ended.

Each advancement is a good thing, but Heavenly Tribulation is a hurdle.

A deadly hurdle!

Not every Cultivator can smoothly overcome Heavenly Tribulation. The stronger one is, the more powerful the Heavenly Tribulation, and the lower the likelihood of successful advancement.

Some have roughly calculated that about sixty percent of those advancing from Nascent Soul to Divinity Transformation successfully pass through Heavenly Tribulation, while only twenty percent of those advancing to Hollow Void manage.

For every ten Nascent Souls, six can become Divinities, and out of ten Divinities, only two can become Hollow Voids. The rest, who fail Tribulation Lightning, end up vanished into smoke, which is also why Cultivators defy the heavens and venture towards death in their practice.

The dark clouds continued to thicken, the scope growing ever wider, until finally, the clouds, with a huge whirlwind, formed a massive hole at the center. Within that hole, lightning flashed, exerting a tremendous oppressive force.

Carson Flores flew up from his hiding place, heading straight for the vast shrine of lightning in the sky.

Carson’s action seemed to infuriate the heavens, and as lightning crackled within the shrine of thunder, a bolt thicker than a water bucket struck down towards Carson.

Carson floated in mid-air, without drawing his sword or using any magical treasure, letting the lightning strike him on the head.

Carson’s body surged with Spiritual Energy and his Sword Qi raged. With a casual move, the lightning was shattered by his Sword Qi.

Seeing this, everyone’s eyes lit up.

”Damn, he didn’t even move, that’s savage!”

”This first bolt is so thick? Do you guys remember the Heavenly Tribulations you faced when you advanced to Divinity Transformation?”

”My first three thunder tribulations were like skinny snakes compared to this. I feel like it should be at least the fifth or sixth Heavenly Thunder to be this thick!”

”Yeah, I remember it being about the same. His first Heavenly Tribulation is so fierce, and each one after is more severe than the last. Can he withstand it?”

”The magnitude of the Heavenly Tribulation is related to the strength of the one facing it. The stronger one is, the more severe the Tribulation will be. By this logic, Conner may have already surpassed Nascent Soul in strength and could be comparable to Divine Transformation.”

”Impressive. He was already so strong as a Nascent Soul, his strength after advancing to Divine Transformation must be even more terrifying!”

As the crowd was buzzing with discussion, the second Heavenly Tribulation struck down. This time, several bolts of lightning appeared in the sky simultaneously hitting Carson.

Carson still did not move, merely relying on his body’s Sword Qi to resist the Tribulation Lightning.

He too realized, today’s Tribulation was quite extraordinary!

The third, the fourth, and the fifth.

Three consecutive Heavenly Tribulations struck, each more powerful than the last until the fifth tribulation was no longer individual flashes of lightning but a column with a diameter of several meters!

The thunderous column fell from the sky, wrapping Carson entirely in the fierce white blaze of lightning. This scene made everyone’s eyelids twitch.

This is only the fifth tribulation. Wasn’t our Ninth Thunder Tribulation not as exaggerated as this?”
