Chapter 54: Resisting the Heavenly Tribulation with a Physical Body, Lightning Tribulation Liquid

Bingdi and Xuedi exchanged a glance, a trace of doubt flashing in their eyes. Although they knew Zhexian's strength was unfathomable, the power of a Heavenly Tribulation was absolutely not something that could be resisted by human strength, let alone a Double Tribulation descending at once!

However, before they could open their mouths to dissuade him, the tribulation clouds in the sky suddenly shook, and the second bolt of lightning had already descended!

"Boom!"

A lightning pillar as thick as a mountain peak descended from the sky, carrying the might to destroy the heavens and extinguish the earth, heading straight for Zhexian. Wherever the lightning light passed, space was torn apart; the wind and snow of the Extreme North seemed to stagnate at this moment, and between heaven and earth, only that blinding bolt of lightning remained.

Bingdi and Xuedi's pupils shrank, their hearts filled with horror. They had never seen such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation; even in their prime, they would not dare to resist such a lightning tribulation head-on! Yet, Zhexian still stood where he was, without the slightest intention of dodging.

"He... he intends to resist it head-on?" Bingdi's voice carried a trace of trembling, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Xuedi was also stunned, murmuring, "This is impossible... the power of a Heavenly Tribulation is absolutely not something an ordinary human can withstand!"

However, the next moment, they witnessed a scene they would never forget for the rest of their lives.

They saw Zhexian slowly raise his right hand, palm upward, as if to support that lightning pillar. His movements were understated, yet carried an indescribable composure and confidence.

The lightning pillar crashed down, striking Zhexian directly!

"Boom!"

The lightning light exploded, the blinding radiance illuminating the entire Extreme North as if it were broad daylight.

Bingdi and Xuedi subconsciously closed their eyes, their hearts crying out in alarm.

"Oh no!"

However, when the lightning light dissipated and they opened their eyes, they saw a scene that left them dumbfounded.

Zhexian was still standing in the same spot, his robes intact, not even a single strand of hair disheveled. In the palm of his right hand, a wisp of lightning light still lingered, as if that lightning tribulation, capable of destroying everything, were nothing more than a breeze in his palm.

"He is actually completely unharmed!" Bingdi's voice carried a trace of trembling, her eyes filled with shock.

Xuedi was also stunned, murmuring, "Resisting the Heavenly Tribulation with his physical body... and without a single scratch! Is he really human?"

Zhexian looked down at the lightning light in his palm, his expression calm, and whispered to himself, "The power of the Heavenly Tribulation is still a bit lacking."

Although his voice was soft, it clearly reached the ears of Bingdi and Xuedi.

Meanwhile, Tianmengge was wriggling his plump body to the side, his eyes filled with worship and excitement, muttering incessantly, "Great God! You are truly too amazing! To be able to resist even a Heavenly Tribulation head-on, you are simply an invincible existence between heaven and earth! I, Tianmengge, will follow you from now on; if you tell me to go east, I will never go west!"

Zhexian, who was at the center of the Heavenly Tribulation, glanced faintly at Tianmeng Bingcan upon hearing this. He ignored its flattery and merely waved his hand slightly, signaling it to be quiet.

His gaze remained calm, as if the act of resisting the Heavenly Tribulation just now was merely a casual gesture, not worth mentioning at all.

Bingdi and Xuedi stood to the side, their hearts already churning with stormy waves.

They had never seen such a terrifying existence, one who could actually use his physical body to resist a Heavenly Tribulation and remain completely unharmed! This had already completely exceeded the scope of their understanding.

Zhexian looked up at the thick tribulation clouds, a trace of faint interest flashing in his eyes. His voice was soft, yet it clearly reached the ears of Bingdi and Xuedi: "Inside there, it seems..."

Before he could finish his sentence, his figure flashed suddenly, turning into a streak of light, charging straight into the sky and heading directly for the churning tribulation clouds!

"Wait! Don't go!" Bingdi's voice carried a trace of trembling, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Xuedi was also stunned, murmuring, "He wants to charge into the tribulation clouds? This... this is simply courting death!"

However, Zhexian's figure had already disappeared into the tribulation clouds.

Inside the tribulation clouds, lightning flashed and electric snakes danced wildly, as if it were an ocean of destruction. Every bolt of lightning contained power capable of destroying the heavens and extinguishing the earth, enough to tear any living creature into pieces. Yet, Zhexian walked slowly through the tribulation clouds as if he were strolling in a courtyard.

There was not a trace of soul power fluctuation around his body, as if he were merely an ordinary person. However, those lightning bolts capable of destroying everything struck his body like mud oxen entering the sea, not even stirring up a single ripple.

"The power of the Heavenly Tribulation here is quite pure." Zhexian whispered to himself, a trace of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

His hands slowly raised, and a purple and a green law manifested in his palms respectively. The powers of destruction and life intertwined around his body, forming an invisible barrier that blocked all the surrounding lightning.

However, just as he was preparing to go deeper into the tribulation clouds, his gaze suddenly fixed on a strange place deep within the clouds.

There, lightning light gathered to form a small lake. The liquid in the lake appeared golden and emitted a rich lightning-attribute aura, as if it contained the endless power of heaven and earth.

"This is... Lightning Tribulation Liquid?" A trace of surprise flashed in Zhexian's eyes.

Lightning Tribulation Liquid is a supreme treasure of heaven and earth condensed from the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, containing the purest lightning-attribute power.

Even in the Jiutian Shidi, it is a rare treasure.

"I didn't expect that there would be such an opportunity within the Heavenly Tribulation of this continent." Zhexian whispered to himself, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

His figure flashed, and he arrived instantly beside the lake of Lightning Tribulation Liquid. He looked down at the golden liquid, a trace of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

His right hand slowly raised, and a purple law manifested in his palm. The law acted like a vortex, absorbing all the Lightning Tribulation Liquid into it.

However, just as he was absorbing the Lightning Tribulation Liquid, the tribulation clouds seemed to sense his actions and became even more violent. Countless lightning bolts struck from all directions, heading straight for Zhexian!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The lightning light exploded, the blinding radiance illuminating the entire interior of the tribulation clouds as if it were broad daylight.

However, Zhexian still stood in the same spot, his expression indifferent, as if the lightning light before him were merely a breeze brushing his face.

"A nuisance." Zhexian said faintly, his tone carrying a trace of disdain.

His hands slowly pressed together, and the powers of destruction and life merged in his palms, turning into a brilliant light.

That light was like the first ray of light when the heavens and earth were first created, carrying endless might, dispersing all the surrounding tribulation clouds.

Outside the tribulation clouds, Bingdi and Xuedi looked up at the sky, their eyes filled with shock and awe.

With his white robes fluttering, Zhexian's figure slowly descended from the tribulation clouds, like a light cherry blossom, drifting down onto the Ice Glacier.

The Heavenly Tribulation dissipated, and Xuedi and Bingdi's cultivation levels broke through to seven hundred thousand years and four hundred thousand years, respectively.

But right now, the two of them could not summon even a shred of desire to fight Zhexian...

Bingdi and Xuedi exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with complex emotions. They knew that the existence before them had already exceeded the scope of their understanding.

Even overlords of the Extreme North like them were nothing more than ants in front of Zhexian.

"Your Excellency... who exactly are you?" Xuedi couldn't help but ask, her tone carrying a trace of awe.

PS: This book has been written for over a month, and I have seen many negative reviews and opinions criticizing the settings, so I am turning back to explain in the second chapter and this chapter:

In this book, Zhexian is reincarnated and recultivating; he has lost his original realm and purely cultivates the three strands of Immortal Qi used to ignite the divine fire as his source of power. Some readers ask why Immortal Qi is so easy to cultivate; I want to say that in his previous life, he was at least an Immortal King Giant, so is his comprehension of Immortal Qi not thorough enough? And if one were to cultivate Immortal Qi like in the original work, it would take until Douluo 1 to Douluo 3 to cultivate even one strand... Other readers say I have nerfed the combat power; can I not nerf it? If you all say Douluo is the Half-step Blood Moving Realm, then a Douluo fan-fiction simply cannot write Zhexian.

Also, regarding why there are plotlines involving Ning Rongrong, Guyuena, and Qian Renxue in the later chapters, I didn't intend to take in female leads at the beginning; I was just writing about a "demoness." Readers left many comments about taking this one or that one in, so I tried to lay out some plot to push the character relationships forward, but with Zhexian's character design, I can't write much romance, so I ended the conversations hastily.

If you have other questions or comments, or would like to join the reader group, the author will reply upon seeing them; I won't pad the word count here. Group number: 1011895013
