Chapter 654: Responding to the Tribulation

Boom!

Thunder and lightning flashed above the nursing home, and strands of terrifying thunder light surged in the clouds, emitting a terrible and brilliant heavenly might.

The consequences of Ye Lin violating the Dao oath manifested very quickly, and the tribulation clouds descended almost in the blink of an eye.

The movement here naturally attracted the attention of the high-level officials within the Immortal Cloud Sect.

"Tribulation clouds? Could it be that someone has broken through?"

"Looking at the terrifying degree of this tribulation cloud, I'm afraid the talent of the person breaking through is not simple!"

"Hmm, I hope this disciple can successfully cross the tribulation."

Once a cultivator steps into the Five Tribulations of the Dao, they truly step onto the path of cultivation, and every breakthrough will attract a heavenly tribulation.

As for the size of the heavenly tribulation, it depends on the cultivator's own strength and talent. Some people's heavenly tribulation only attracts thunder arcs the size of a fingernail, while some people's tribulation clouds press down for thousands of miles.

Therefore, seeing a heavenly tribulation appear near the Immortal Cloud Sect, everyone didn't feel surprised.

No one expected that this tribulation cloud was attracted by a bastard who violated a Dao oath.

Man Yin was numb now.

"Do you understand the consequences of violating a Dao oath? This is different from an ordinary heavenly tribulation!"

Ordinary heavenly tribulation, it strikes you once, and if you can carry it, it counts as a successful crossing.

But the heavenly tribulation of violating a Dao oath is an endless situation. If one thunder strike

The tribulation lightning will grow stronger with each successive strike until it completely obliterates the person undergoing the tribulation.

Unless one's strength is powerful enough to contend with the Heavenly Dao, or one possesses some heaven-defying great fortune, it is absolutely impossible to survive after breaking a Dao oath.

"Alright, alright, I get it. Go play over there; don't get accidentally hit by the heavenly tribulation, okay~"

Ye Lin dotingly ruffled Man Yin's hair and escorted him to the side, nearly coddling him like a newborn.

Ye Lin still held a fair amount of affection for this old geezer who had taught him the Ten Thousand Tribulations God-Refining Art.

Seeing that the heavenly lightning was slow to descend, Ye Lin grew impatient, looked up, and questioned the sky.

"A lousy heavenly tribulation taking half a day to brew—are you even capable or not?"

Seeing this, Man Yin rolled his eyes back, and as a top-tier cultivation expert, he was almost scared into immediate pregnancy on the spot.

What kind of creature was this guy transformed from?

Breaking a Dao oath was one thing, but he actually dared to provoke the heavenly tribulation? Was this guy really not afraid of death?

Above the sky, the pitch-black tribulation clouds suddenly paused for an instant, and then the clouds began to writhe slowly, expanding in all directions!

The heavenly tribulation, which was already terrifying in power, became even more violent at this moment, and a horrific bolt of tribulation lightning slowly took shape in the sky.

Boom!

A violent lightning dragon swept down, carrying the might of world destruction, as if it intended to grind every living creature on the ground into nothingness!

Man Yin's face turned ashen.

It's over.

With a heavenly tribulation of this power, let alone Ye Lin who was only at the Great Perfection of the Spirit-Gathering Realm, even if you brought over a cultivator at the Fifth Tribulation of the Dao, they would die just by being grazed.

The heavenly tribulation had been thoroughly enraged and had no intention of letting Ye Lin live at all.

Man Yin stared fixedly at Ye Lin's body, hoping, waiting to see if a miracle would occur.

After all, the person before him was the legendary forbidden spiritual root; perhaps there might be something different about him?

Sure enough, Man Yin soon discovered that there was no look of fear on Ye Lin's face; instead, he spread his arms with an expression of enjoyment, as if he were about to embrace the heavenly tribulation.

"There's still a chance!"

Man Yin grew excited; he knew this kid wouldn't act without a reason—he must still have a trump card!

In the blink of an eye, the tribulation lightning slammed into Ye Lin's body!

In Man Yin's expectant gaze, Ye Lin's body exploded instantly like a water-filled balloon pricked by a needle; blood mist danced, and not a bone remained.

Man Yin was dumbfounded.

He widened his eyes, his mouth slightly agape, not even noticing the saliva dripping from the corner of his lips.

Just like that, he died?

No, he had clearly just seen Ye Lin looking fearless and indomitable; surely he should have been able to withstand a few more bolts of lightning? How did he just die for real?

Above the sky, the black tribulation clouds slowly began to dissipate.

Only when the person undergoing the tribulation is completely dead can the Dao oath tribulation clouds dissipate.

This also meant that Ye Lin was truly dead, body and soul destroyed.

Man Yin slumped to the ground, painfully clutching his own hair.

It's over, he's ruined!

A forbidden spiritual root, the first one entrusted to him to teach, and he ended up teaching him to death—what kind of mess is this?

"Wuwuwuwu!"

A moment later, Man Yin actually couldn't help but cry, tears and snot streaming down his face.

This cultivation expert's Dao heart had been shaken; could it be that he really wasn't suited to be someone else's teacher?

A forbidden spiritual root, and he taught him to death on the very first day.

It's like you've always been self-important, thinking you're destined to create a great enterprise, but the moment your father hands you a company worth hundreds of millions, you drive it into bankruptcy on the first day, end up owing a mountain of debt, and your family goes from riches to rags overnight.

For anyone, this is hard to accept.

"Stop crying, it doesn't look good when you cry too much."

Someone reached out and patted Man Yin on the shoulder.

Man Yin, eyes blurred with tears, looked up and saw Ye Lin's smiling face.

Man Yin froze.

"Why aren't you dead?"

"Because I am living with all my might."

Man Yin stood up abruptly and began to examine Ye Lin's body.

Aside from his bone age changing from one day to that of a newborn fresh from the womb, there were no issues at all; he was full of life and vigor.

"Why is this? Could this be the talent of the Primordial Spiritual Root? Can it make a person's body constantly revert to its state at birth?"

Man Yin was completely baffled; the situation before him exceeded his range of understanding, and he could only associate it with Ye Lin's Primordial Spiritual Root.

"What Primordial Spiritual Root?"

Ye Lin looked puzzled; why was this old man still insulting him? Who's a beast?

Man Yin took a deep breath; at this point, there was no need for him to hide anything, as he was truly afraid Ye Lin would pull off some other outrageous stunt.

"Ye Lin, at this point, I will tell you the truth: the spiritual root you possess is actually a forbidden-level Primordial Spiritual Root!"

"?"

Ye Lin's face was full of question marks.

Primordial Spiritual Root? Does such a root really exist? Why does he feel like this old man is beating around the bush to insult him?

"Possessing this level of spiritual root, you don't need to push yourself so hard in body refining; as long as it's enough, that's fine. With your Primordial Spiritual Root alone, you can be invincible in the world!"

Man Yin advised him earnestly; the Primordial Spiritual Root encompasses all things, and its affinity for all elements of heaven and earth is top-tier, which is why the nine peak masters wanted to teach Ye Lin together.

Because no matter what the Primordial Spiritual Root learns, as long as he wants to learn it, he can master it.

"Senior, let's put other questions aside for now. Are you really sure such a thing as a Primordial Spiritual Root exists in this world?" Ye Lin couldn't help but ask.

"It's real, believe me, you really are a Primordial!"
