Chapter 297: Mu Lingxi's Heavenly Tribulation

A cup of tea's time later.

Wang Jianqiang walked slowly out of the room, leaning against the wall, and after laboriously making his way to a chair beside the wall.

He held onto the armrest of the chair, sat down slowly, and let out a long sigh.

Behind Wang Jianqiang, Wang Yu Yao, Su Yutong, and Xing Li walked out one after another.

After bidding farewell to Wang Jianqiang, they left together.

……

There is no concept of time in cultivation.

A year has now passed since Wang Yu Yao, Su Yutong, and Mu Lingxi entered the Desolate Realm.

After Wang Yu Yao and the others finished undergoing their Tribulation, Mu Lingxi entered a state of seclusion.

Her Soul Power has now been cultivated to the limit, reaching twenty-seven times that of an ordinary Golden Core Stage Perfection cultivator.

She is currently consolidating her realm, preparing to charge toward the Nascent Soul Stage at any moment.

As for Wang Jianqiang himself.

His Soul Power has also reached twenty-seven times that of an ordinary Golden Core Stage Perfection cultivator.

Having reached this level, he has also felt his own limits.

It is just that he does not know why.

He clearly feels that he has reached his limit, yet his Soul Power can actually still increase.

His limit seems to possess elasticity, as if it were a balloon.

It can be passively stretched!

Under these circumstances, he can choose to form his Nascent Soul directly, or he can choose to continue increasing his Soul Power.

However, after reaching twenty-seven times the Soul Power, ordinary Soul Jade no longer has the slightest effect.

Only by refining Golden Core Grade Soul Jade can he continue to improve, and the rate of improvement is extremely slow.

Facing this choice.

He did not hesitate in the slightest and chose to continue increasing his Soul Power.

The higher the limit, the greater the potential.

Only by reaching one's own limit at every step can one perfectly develop one's potential and walk further on the path of cultivation.

Conversely.

If one adopts an attitude of "good enough" at every realm, just muddling through...

One can only waste one's potential for nothing and eventually vanish into the crowd.

Being able to expand the limit of one's Soul Power is something every heaven-gifted genius dreams of.

How could he possibly waste this opportunity?

……

In the Cultivation Room.

Wang Jianqiang held a piece of Soul Jade, silently absorbing it.

Suddenly.

He stopped absorbing, looked up, and his gaze pierced through layers of walls, seeing into a Cultivation Room.

Inside the Cultivation Room, Mu Lingxi had already manifested all three of her Three Lives Body.

All three Mu Lingxis were sitting cross-legged.

In front of the chests of the three Mu Lingxis, a palm-sized miniature figure emerged from each.

The figures and appearances of the miniature figures corresponded to Mu Lingxi's Three Lives Body.

Even the Spiritual Power robes manifested on their bodies were exactly the same.

It was just that because they lacked the baptism of the Heavenly Tribulation, the three Nascent Souls were not stable, as if they could dissipate at any moment.

"This is..."

"A Nascent Soul!"

"Lingxi is forming her Nascent Soul."

Seeing this scene, his expression froze.

He immediately reacted.

With a thought, he teleported Mu Lingxi to a mountain peak.

Immediately following, he waved his palm.

Two Jade Bottles were instantly transferred to Mu Lingxi's side.

"Lingxi, you possess the Three Lives Body; with three bodies forming a Nascent Soul, the Heavenly Tribulation will likely be extraordinary, so you must be careful."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's voice, Mu Lingxi nodded gently.

She took the two Jade Bottles in front of her and examined them.

One of the Jade Bottles contained a Lightning Avoidance Pill, while the other contained six Heavenly Heart Resurrection Pills.

With a thought, she put the two types of pills away.

Then, she released her aura to the absolute limit.

As Mu Lingxi's aura was released.

In the sky, a large expanse of thick, heavy dark clouds began to gather.

The originally bright world instantly turned dim.

Because Wang Yu Yao, Su Yutong, Xing Li, Yang Wanxin, and Yun Xin all had foundations far deeper than ordinary cultivators, the Tribulation Cloud they gathered was already considered quite astonishing.

But compared to the Tribulation Cloud brought about by Mu Lingxi, it was completely dwarfed.

In just a fleeting moment, the sky within a radius of a hundred miles turned into a sheet of darkness.

Dark clouds churned in the air, as if they were about to descend to the ground.

Thick bolts of lightning slithered through the dark clouds like swimming dragons, and a terrifying aura of destruction permeated the horizon, making one unable to help but feel waves of palpitations.

Above Mu Lingxi's head.

The rolling dark clouds, carrying a sense of heaviness, slowly rotated, forming a massive cyclone with a diameter exceeding fifty miles.

Lightning continuously gathered from the surrounding dark clouds.

Eventually, it transformed this massive rotating dark cloud into a thundercloud.

Until this moment, the Heavenly Tribulation seemed to have finally finished brewing.

Boom!

A massive thunderclap resounded through this world.

Three bolts of lightning descended simultaneously toward Mu Lingxi's Three Lives Body.

"Lingxi's Heavenly Tribulation is indeed extraordinary."

At the edge of the Tribulation Cloud, Wang Jianqiang watched this scene from afar, his expression shifting.

Mu Lingxi's Thunder Tribulation was not merely as simple as three bolts descending at once; the power of each bolt was also far stronger than those of Wang Yu Yao and the others.

The power of just the first wave of the Thunder Tribulation was enough to rival the fourth wave of the Thunder Tribulation of Wang Yu Yao and the others.

However, Mu Lingxi's combat power also far exceeded that of Wang Yu Yao and the others.

Back when her Soul Power had not yet reached its limit, Mu Lingxi's combat power was already extremely formidable.

After her Soul Power reached its limit and leaped to twenty-seven times its original strength, her combat power skyrocketed.

Now that she had condensed her Nascent Soul, her combat power had further improved, reaching a truly fierce level.

Even though the Nascent Soul Tribulation she attracted was much larger than that of Wang Yu Yao and the others, it still could not pose the slightest threat to her.

The Three Lives Body simultaneously raised their palms and pressed down.

The three bolts of lightning in the air exploded and shattered at the same time.

Next.

The second wave, the third wave...

All the way up to the sixth wave of the Thunder Tribulation, she passed them all with ease.

Seeing this scene, a smile could not help but appear on Wang Jianqiang's face.

This girl is truly monstrous.

The power of each of the three bolts in her sixth wave of the Thunder Tribulation was enough to rival the ninth bolt of the Tribulation Lightning of Wang Yu Yao and the others.

Yet it was easily neutralized by her.

After the sixth wave of Tribulation Lightning descended, no more Tribulation Lightning descended from the Tribulation Cloud immediately.

Instead, it fell into a brief silence.

Endless lightning light gathered rapidly.

After absorbing this massive amount of lightning light, the Tribulation Cloud cyclone's rotation speed suddenly increased to a new height.

Boom~

A bolt of Tribulation Lightning struck down from the Tribulation Cloud.

That's right, just one bolt!

By the seventh wave of the Thunder Tribulation, the descending Tribulation Lightning was no longer three bolts, but only one!

This bolt of Tribulation Lightning was no longer the color of normal lightning, but leaned toward a dark red color.

It was only as thin as a little finger, looking frail and powerless.

But the moment this bolt of Tribulation Lightning appeared, a pure, extreme aura of destruction instantly filled this world, as if it were about to destroy it.

The speed of the Dark Red Tribulation Lightning was fast to the extreme.

The moment it rushed out of the Tribulation Cloud, it seemed to pierce through space, instantly appearing above the head of Mu Lingxi's main body.

Mu Lingxi's three bodies changed color simultaneously.

Not daring to be the least bit careless, the three bodies unleashed their full power together, condensing a Spiritual Power Barrier above their heads.

The next moment.

The dark red lightning descended.

Without a sound.

The top third of the mountain peak where Mu Lingxi was located was directly reduced to powder.

"This power!"

Wang Jianqiang looked toward the distant mountain peak, his brows locked tight.

As early as the moment that Dark Red Tribulation Lightning appeared, the relaxed expression on his face had completely dissipated.

Although that bolt of Dark Red Tribulation Lightning was thin, the power it erupted with made even him feel a strong sense of threat.

This meant that the power of this bolt of Dark Red Tribulation Lightning must have already reached the level of Nascent Soul Stage Perfection!

And this was only the seventh bolt of the Thunder Tribulation, yet it was already this powerful!

Then what about the eighth and ninth bolts?

He had thought that Mu Lingxi's Heavenly Tribulation might be very strong.

But he had not expected it to be this exaggerated!
