Chapter 318: The Unfinished Tribulation

Wang Jianqiang compressed three types of power onto his fist simultaneously and threw a punch.

The Spirit Pattern Power strengthened his flesh, tendons, and bones from within, turning his fist into the color of pure gold.

The Spiritual Power was in the middle, condensed on the surface of his skin like a glove.

The Spirit Flame Power was attached to the outermost layer, burning fiercely.

Not only did this add a scorching temperature to Wang Jianqiang's attack, but the Destruction Power contained within it also elevated the attack power of this punch to the extreme.

Boom~

Amidst a booming sound, the Tribulation Lightning shattered.

Wang Jianqiang fell from the sky.

He crashed to the ground.

On his body, over a dozen fragments of Tribulation Lightning slithered about like electric snakes.

His protective Golden Light had already shattered.

The Tribulation Lightning was continuously destroying his physical body.

Fortunately, his physical defense was formidable.

Otherwise, he would likely have been reduced to dust in this very instant.

Even so, his body had sustained severe injuries.

He flipped himself up.

He took another Heavenly Heart Resurrection Pill.

He did not use a Lightning Avoidance Pill.

A Lightning Avoidance Pill can only be taken once in a short period.

In other words, throughout the entire Heavenly Tribulation, there was only one opportunity to use it.

Without a doubt, this opportunity had to be saved for after the eighth Tribulation Lightning and before the ninth Tribulation Lightning descended.

If he used it now, once he was severely injured by the eighth Tribulation Lightning,

he would have no chance left when facing the ninth Tribulation Lightning.

Therefore...

This eighth Tribulation Lightning had to be withstood head-on!

Rumble!

The moment Wang Jianqiang swallowed the Heavenly Heart Resurrection Pill, the Tribulation Lightning power within the Tribulation Cloud vortex condensed frantically.

A thicker bolt of Tribulation Lightning descended.

Wang Jianqiang gritted his teeth.

Dragging his injured body, he met it head-on.

Five-Color Spirit Power surged out, and the golden Spirit Pattern Power sealed his entire body.

The scorching Blue Flame transformed into the outermost layer of power, burning fiercely.

Boom!

Amidst a booming sound, Wang Jianqiang collided violently with the Tribulation Lightning.

The two stalemated for a moment.

Afterward, pushed by the Tribulation Lightning, he crashed heavily to the ground.

Crackle!

The moment the dark red Tribulation Lightning hit the ground, the mountain collapsed instantly.

Wang Jianqiang's entire body landed within the Tribulation Lightning, enveloped by the thick bolt.

Powerful Destruction Power poured into his body continuously.

He gritted his teeth, desperately condensing his Spirit Pattern Power to resist.

At the same time.

The Tribulation Lightning power also surged into his dantian, attempting to shatter his Nascent Soul.

The moment the Tribulation Lightning landed on the Nascent Soul, a five-colored radiance suddenly erupted from the Five-Colored Feather Garment on the Nascent Soul.

The five-colored radiance formed a light barrier that protected the Nascent Soul within, firmly blocking the Tribulation Lightning power outside.

Ten breaths later.

The Tribulation Lightning enveloping Wang Jianqiang gradually dissipated.

In a mere ten breaths of time,

the injuries on his body had already reached the extreme.

If not for the Spirit Pattern protecting his body, and if not for the Five-Colored Feather Garment protecting the Nascent Soul,

he absolutely would not have been able to hold on.

Not only had his Soul Power reached thirty times the limit, but he also possessed a powerful Spirit Flame.

Furthermore, he had cultivated the Years Sacred Body.

With the system's enhancement, the greatest drawback of the Years Sacred Body was compensated for, becoming something akin to a cheat.

Coupled with the amplification of two great Supernatural Abilities and the recovery from the Perfect Pill,

even with the support of so many powerful abilities, he still nearly died under this eighth Tribulation Lightning.

It is hard to imagine.

If an ordinary Five-Element Spiritual Root cultivator faced this kind of Heavenly Tribulation, how could they possibly survive!

This was no longer an ordinary Heavenly Tribulation.

It was completely a death tribulation.

It was as if the Heavenly Dao was deliberately erasing him, not allowing a Five-Element Nascent Soul Cultivator to exist in the world.

This thought flashed through Wang Jianqiang's mind for only an instant.

Afterwards, he immediately regained his focus and swallowed a Lightning Avoidance Pill in one gulp.

Under the interference of the Lightning Avoidance Pill, the Heavenly Tribulation suddenly lost its target and fell silent.

Wang Jianqiang hurriedly took out a Heavenly Heart Resurrection Pill and swallowed it as well.

While refining the medicinal power, he pushed his Pure Yang Power to the limit.

The Lightning Avoidance Pill had a limited duration.

He had to recover as much of his injuries as possible within this short time.

At the very least, he had to recover to a degree that would not affect his combat strength.

Only then would it be possible to withstand this strongest ninth Tribulation Lightning.

Time passed bit by bit.

Soon, the medicinal effect of the Lightning Avoidance Pill dissipated.

Wang Jianqiang was locked onto by the Heavenly Tribulation once again.

After finding its target again, the massive Tribulation Cloud vortex visibly contracted.

Countless electric snakes spread across the Tribulation Cloud instantly converged at the center of the vortex, transforming into the ninth Tribulation Lightning.

Boom!

A thunderous roar resounded through this Micro World.

A thick bolt of Tribulation Lightning descended from the sky, striking down in an instant.

Boom!

The dazzling lightning directly engulfed Wang Jianqiang, lasting for over a dozen breaths before dissipating.

When the lightning light completely faded away.

The mountain peak had completely vanished, and even the rubble had been utterly annihilated into nothingness.

Replacing it was a massive crater over a dozen zhang deep and several dozen miles in diameter.

Wang Jianqiang's body was charred black, lying powerlessly in the deep crater.

His consciousness had already become blurred.

"Finally..."

"Did I make it through?"

A faint arc tugged at the corner of his mouth, and his consciousness then sank into Darkness Power.

At the edge of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Because the coverage area of the Tribulation Cloud was too large, Mu Lingxi and the others were too far from Wang Jianqiang's Tribulation Transcendence site and dared not probe their Spirit Sense into the Tribulation Cloud.

They could not see the situation of Wang Jianqiang's Tribulation Transcendence.

They could only judge the progress of the Heavenly Tribulation from the thunderous sounds transmitted over.

After the ninth thunderous roar passed.

The hearts of the women all skipped a beat, and they looked forward nervously.

A moment later.

Mu Lingxi's brows furrowed tightly, "Wait, why hasn't the Heavenly Tribulation dissipated? The ninth Tribulation Lightning should have already passed, right?"

"That's right, the ninth thunderous sound has already rung out; logically speaking, the ninth Tribulation Lightning should have already descended."

Hearing this, everyone revealed expressions of confusion.

A moment later.

Mu Lingxi seemed to have thought of something, and her expression changed.

Immediately after.

Qingcheng, Tu Shan Youyou, Xing Li... and the others reacted one after another.

Everyone looked at each other, their expressions turning solemn.

It couldn't be, right?

It is unknown how much time had passed.

Wang Jianqiang's consciousness, which had been in a muddled state, became a bit clearer.

However, his eyelids were very heavy, and no matter what, he could not open them.

"Wuwuwu~ Little Qiangqiang, please open your eyes, okay~"

"Don't die~~"

By his ear.

A sound of crying came.

It was a female voice, sounding very young in age.

But this voice...

Why was it so familiar?

Wang Jianqiang tried hard to recall.

He seemed to have fainted.

How did he faint?

And who was that crying girl?

He felt that this information was very important to him.

But for some reason, he could not remember it no matter how hard he tried.

This made him feel an urgent desire to open his eyes and see what was going on.

Through his unremitting efforts, his eyes finally opened little by little.

What came into view was a narrow alley, piled high with trash and filled with a foul odor.

Under the night sky.

A disheveled, slovenly girl was squatting beside him, shedding tears in sorrow.

The girl was very small and thin, looking to be only about ten years old.

When Wang Jianqiang saw that dirty face beneath the girl's messy hair.

He was stunned for a moment.

Immediately after.

A familiar yet strange memory surged from the depths of his mind.

He could not help but open his mouth and call out.

"Luo Yunshang."
