Chapter 654: Facing the Tribulation

Boom!

Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled above the nursing home, strands of terrifying lightning light surging within the clouds, emitting a fearsome and majestic heavenly might.

The consequences of Ye Lin breaking his Dao oath manifested very quickly; the tribulation clouds descended in the blink of an eye.

The commotion here naturally caught the attention of the higher-ups within the Profound Cloud Sect.

"Tribulation clouds? Could it be that someone is breaking through?"

"Looking at the terrifying level of these tribulation clouds, the talent of the person breaking through must be extraordinary!"

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

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

As for the scale of the heavenly tribulation, it is determined by the cultivator's own strength and talent; some people's tribulations only attract lightning arcs the size of a fingernail, while others have tribulation clouds that press down for thousands of miles.

Therefore, seeing a heavenly tribulation appear near the Profound Cloud Sect, everyone did not feel surprised.

No one expected that these tribulation clouds were brought on by a brat who had broken a Dao oath.

Man Yin was also numb at this moment.

"Do you even understand the consequences of breaking a Dao oath? This is different from a normal heavenly tribulation!"

In a normal heavenly tribulation, if it strikes you once and you can withstand it, you are considered to have successfully overcome the tribulation.

But the tribulation brought on by breaking a Dao oath is a matter of life and death; if one bolt of lightning doesn't kill you, then ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand will!

The tribulation lightning will become stronger with each bolt until the person facing the tribulation is completely struck to death.

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 breaking a Dao oath.

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

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

Ye Lin still had a fairly good impression of this old man who taught him the Ten Thousand Tribulations Refining God Art.

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

"A lousy tribulation takes forever to brew; are you even capable or not?"

Seeing this, Man Yin rolled his eyes; as a top-tier cultivation expert, he was almost scared into getting pregnant on the spot.

What on earth was this guy turned into?

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 tribulation clouds began to slowly squirm, expanding in all directions!

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

Boom!

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

Man Yin's face turned ashen.

It's over.

With a heavenly tribulation of this power, let alone Ye Lin only being at the Great Perfection of the Spirit Gathering Realm, even if you brought over a cultivator at the Five Tribulations of the Dao, they would die if they even grazed it.

The heavenly tribulation had been completely enraged and had no intention of letting Ye Lin live.

Man Yin stared fixedly at Ye Lin's body, waiting, hoping for a miracle to happen.

After all, the person in front of him was the legendary forbidden spiritual root; perhaps there might be something different?

Sure enough, Man Yin soon discovered that there was no expression 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 became 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 flying, leaving no bones behind.

Man Yin was dumbfounded.

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

Just like that, he died?

No, he clearly just saw Ye Lin looking like he feared nothing; no matter what, he should have been able to withstand a few more bolts of tribulation lightning, right? How did he really die?

Above the sky, the black tribulation clouds had slowly begun to dissipate.

Only when the person facing 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 pulling at his own hair.

It's over, it's ruined!

A forbidden spiritual root, entrusted to him to teach first, and he ended up teaching him to death; what kind of situation is this?

"Wuwuwu!"

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

This cultivation expert's Dao heart had been impacted; 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 first day.

This is like you always thinking you're extraordinary, feeling you're bound to create a great career, but the moment your dad hands you a company worth hundreds of millions, you bankrupt the company on the first day and end up in a mountain of debt, causing your family to return to poverty overnight.

This is hard for anyone 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.

"How are you not dead?"

"Because I am living with all my might."

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

Except for his bone age changing from one day to that of a newborn just out of the womb, there were no problems in any other aspect; he was full of life.

"Why is this? Could this be the talent of the Primordial Spiritual Root? Can it make a person's body constantly recover to the state of being a newborn?"

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

"What Primordial Spiritual Root?"

Ye Lin looked confused; why was this old man still insulting him? Who was a "newborn" (a homophone for "animal/beast" in Chinese)?

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

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

"?"

Ye Lin's face was full of question marks.

Primordial Spiritual Root? Does such a spiritual root really exist? Why did he feel like this old man was 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; just enough is fine. Relying solely on your Primordial Spiritual Root, you can be invincible in the world!"

Man Yin began to advise him earnestly; the Primordial Spiritual Root encompasses everything, and its affinity for all elements of heaven and earth is top-tier, which is also the reason 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 learn it.

"Senior, let's put other questions aside for now; are you really sure that there is a Primordial Spiritual Root in this world?" Ye Lin couldn't help but ask.

"Really, believe me, you really are a Primordial!"
