Chapter 656: The Hundred Tribulation Imperial Body is Complete

Boom!

The terrifying Heavenly Dao tribulation lightning struck down fiercely, landing on Ye Lin's body.

The violent power of the lightning rampaged like an angry dragon, destroying his meridians and bones.

Lightning light scattered, pouring out into the surroundings.

Man Yin's eyelids couldn't stop twitching.

At the beginning, a single strike of that tribulation lightning would have been enough to blast Ye Lin into nothingness.

As this kid withstood the heavenly tribulation more and more, his physical body grew stronger, and gradually, the amount of lightning required to kill him increased.

By now, even after taking the eighth tribulation lightning strike head-on, Ye Lin had not completely perished.

However, the Dao Oath tribulation lightning is endless!

Seeing that eight strikes of lightning could not kill Ye Lin, an even more terrifying ninth tribulation lightning arrived in an instant, striking Ye Lin fiercely, tearing his flesh and blood apart, and killing him on the spot.

And this was also Ye Lin's one-hundredth life-and-death tribulation!

A burst of Great Dao Zen sound rang out, and countless chains of order flowed out, beginning to weave through Ye Lin's flesh and blood.

Massive Qi and blood began to condense; the countless life-and-death tribulations experienced over the past few months erupted all at once, destroying and then recasting every inch of Ye Lin's flesh.

An extremely terrifying body was reborn; it looked exactly like the previous Ye Lin, yet it possessed an indescribable sense of oppression.

"The Hundred Tribulation Imperial Body, it is complete!"

Ye Lin's face was filled with joy; his persistence in getting struck by lightning over these past few months had finally not been in vain.

With a gentle clench of his fist, a fierce and domineering power surged from his limbs and bones toward his knuckles!

At this moment, even without using any forbidden spells, his physical body alone was enough to kill those in the Earth Fiend Realm, and his cultivation level had also unknowingly broken through to the early stage of Profound Mastery.

Man Yin sighed faintly.

"I have nothing left to teach you. If you need me in the future, just crush this jade tablet."

Man Yin handed a primitive jade tablet to Ye Lin, looking at him as if he were a monster.

Cultivating the Hundred Tribulation Imperial Body in just a few months meant that Ye Lin had already mastered the Ten Thousand Tribulation God-Refining Art.

From here on, it was merely a matter of grinding over time to continuously upgrade the Hundred Tribulation Imperial Body until it transformed into the One Hundred Thousand Calamity Forbidden Body.

Man Yin could not help but feel a sense of loss.

In the face of such talent, his pride-and-joy body-refining experience seemed so laughable.

Ye Lin's body-refining process actually had no technique at all; it relied entirely on not being able to die.

His body-refining method was like going onto a national highway to cosplay as a speed bump to scare semi-trucks; scaring one would net 1. million in insurance compensation, and Ye Lin had scared them a hundred times, netting 1. billion.

If you ask Ye Lin if 1. billion is easy to earn, Ye Lin would only tell you it is easy—just lie down there and that's it; if you really lie down there, you'll hear the song "We Are All Living Hard" ringing in your ears.

After Man Yin left, the second peak master, Spirit Peak Master Situ Qi, appeared.

Those iconic black pupils were filled with an indescribable eeriness.

"My specialty is eye techniques, but to cultivate my eye techniques, one must gouge out their own eyes. If you cannot learn it, you will lose your sight and become completely blind. Therefore, there is a risk in practicing my arts..."

Situ Qi was just about to explain the stakes clearly to Ye Lin so he could consider whether to learn it or not, but before he could finish, a pair of bloody eyeballs were handed to him.

"Old senior, is one pair enough? If not, I have another pair in the back," Ye Lin said very sincerely.

Situ Qi: "......"

He had heard Man Yin say that Ye Lin was very bizarre, but he hadn't expected him to be bizarre to this extent.

Situ Qi took a deep breath and began to teach Ye Lin the eye technique.

"The eye technique I practice is called the Soul Hunting Underworld Pupil. When cultivated to a profound level, it can forcibly detain the souls and primordial spirits of living beings!"

"To cultivate this eye technique, one must..."

Cultivation knows no years.

Over the next two years, the eight peak masters of Spirit Peak, Heart Peak, Soul Peak, Fury Peak, Martial Peak, Momentum Peak, Artifact Peak, and Pill Peak took turns.

Ye Lin's life was extremely fulfilling; all kinds of heavenly treasures and precious pills were constantly sent to him, and what he practiced were the top-tier techniques of the Immortal Cloud Sect, the Heavenly Heart Return to Ruins Art.

In two years, because he hadn't killed anyone, Ye Lin's cultivation level improved slowly, only reaching the Great Perfection of the Profound Mastery Realm, but his combat power had undergone a heaven-shaking change.

Except for artifact refining and pill refining, which he had no interest in learning, he had mastered the core skills of the other peak masters, and due to his high 'affinity' with the elements of heaven and earth, he even showed a tendency to surpass his masters.

Ye Lin had also gradually become familiar with these old men.

"Old geezer, what are we practicing today?"

Another morning, Ye Lin appeared at the entrance of the nursing home, his jet-black hair glistening, his whole person like a banished immortal fallen from the heavens, possessing an ethereal aura.

His aura was somewhat restrained, but a closer look would reveal that the Qi and blood within him were vast and boundless, like an ocean.

"Today... we aren't practicing."

"Hm? Are we resting today? Then shall we start practicing tomorrow?" Ye Lin asked, puzzled.

"Tomorrow... we aren't practicing either."

The nine peak masters gathered at the nursing home, looking at Ye Lin with complex expressions.

A nascent spiritual root! He is truly worthy of being a forbidden-level existence!

In just two years, Ye Lin had learned all the signature skills that they had spent their entire lives cultivating.

Now, they had nothing left to teach Ye Lin; Ye Lin had drained them dry, and the only thing he lagged behind in was his cultivation level.

Situ Qi took a deep breath and said to Ye Lin.

"Ye Lin, we have taught you everything we can. The road ahead must be walked by yourself."

"Are you trying to kick me out?"

If humans are not made of wood or stone, how can they be without emotion? Ye Lin's emotions became agitated instantly.

"I have stayed in this nursing home for two years and six months. I know every blade of grass and every tree here by heart. I even gave names to the chickens in the yard, and you are actually trying to kick me out?"

The peak masters looked at Ye Lin's display of genuine emotion and couldn't bear it, but they steeled their hearts and said.

"A fledgling eagle must leave the nest to learn how to fly. Staying here any longer will do you more harm than good!"

No cultivator has ever become a great power solely by retreating and practicing in seclusion.

Only by going out to gain experience, fighting with people, fighting with the earth, and fighting with the heavens, can one truly make what they have learned their own.

"You are actually really trying to kick me out! Is your heart made of iron? Do you have no feelings at all?"

Ye Lin's eyes turned red, and bean-sized tears fell pitter-patter.

Seeing Ye Lin crying, the hearts of the peak masters couldn't help but tighten; during this time, they had truly come to treat Ye Lin as their own child.

Just as they were about to step forward to comfort Ye Lin, they heard him continue.

"Since I'm leaving, aren't you planning to give me a hundred or so innate supreme treasures for self-defense?"
