796. Chapter 794 Solo Breakthrough

He furrowed his brow, thinking about how to move this huge stone aside to create a secret cultivation space for himself.

"Perhaps I can use the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword to help me accomplish this task."

Lu Yuan muttered to himself.

He drew the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword, lightning crackling along its blade.

He swung the sword, chopping at the rock.

A deafening thunderclap rang out, the entire Phantom Wasteland trembling.

The massive rock split open, revealing a spacious entrance.

At this point Lu Yuan was exhausted in both body and mind; he entered the opening, closed his eyes, and began to restore his strength.

In this underground space carved by sword qi, Lu Yuan began his breakthrough preparations.

He first placed the ten golden cores he had meticulously refined together, carefully checking their quality and purity.

After confirming everything was normal, Lu Yuan took out a jade tablet inscribed with an activated formation and placed it around the golden cores.

Next, Lu Yuan employed the Five Elements Escape Armor Art to adjust the flow of his internal spiritual power, aiding the fusion of the golden cores.

He closed his eyes, silently activating his heart method to control the trajectory of the spiritual power flow.

Five different attributes of spiritual power merged in a wondrous way, gently and evenly infusing into the golden cores.

As Lu Yuan inwardly observed the fusion of the golden cores, he noticed each one continuously emitting a bright, steady light.

This was the result of his years of painstaking research and practice, now perfectly manifested.

When the fusion of the golden cores reached its peak, Lu Yuan smiled faintly, showing a proud expression.

Then he activated the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation to stabilize the surrounding spiritual energy; his hands slowly spread, and an invisible force diffused outward.

This formation was meticulously set up by Lu Yuan, containing his mastery over the Five Elements.

Each position represents a star in the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper, capable of absorbing ambient spiritual energy and converting it into cultivation-suitable power.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, his whole body as still as still water.

He began attempting to break the golden core and form the nascent infant.

This is an extremely difficult yet crucial process, and the most important step on his path of cultivation.

He closed his eyes, immersing his consciousness within his body.

Countless faint, soft beams of light enveloped him, warm and tranquil.

Lu Yuan gathered all his focus and mind, beginning to control the flow of spiritual power within the golden core.

The dim, cold golden core gradually activated, emanating unparalleled vitality and power.

But at that moment, a tremendous, intensely cold pressure suddenly surged toward Lu Yuan.

A high-speed spinning black whirlwind coiled around the golden core, forming a layer of terrifyingly thick ice.

Lu Yuan reacted quickly, condensing the magical sword in his hand and thrusting it with lightning power toward the whirlwind.

Sharp and piercing sword qi burst forth with dazzling light, directly shattering that incredibly hard ice layer.

The spiritual power within the golden core instantly regained calm and began flowing again.

A hint of determination and resolve appeared on Lu Yuan's face.

In the time that followed, Lu Yuan endured a series of arduous and heart-pounding cultivation trials.

Whenever he encountered difficulty, he could overcome obstacles through his superb use of immortal arts and relentless effort.

After a night ended, this underground space was filled with a heavy yet pleasant aura.

The Nascent Soul was born!

Lu Yuan slowly opened his eyes, his heart brimming with joy and satisfaction.

But soon, his good mood was shattered by a shocking heavenly tribulation that came unexpectedly.

At the moment the heavenly tribulation arrived, lightning danced wildly across the sky, the whole world seeming to be shrouded in darkness and oppression.

Lu Yuan gazed at the firmament, his eyes revealing a hint of tenacity and unyielding resolve.

He drew a deep breath, internal spiritual power surging.

He resolutely decided to use his powerful spiritual shield and tenacious flesh to withstand this tribulation lightning, hoping thereby to enhance his cultivation.

The first wave of heavenly tribulation descended instantly, countless bolts of lightning pouring down from the sky.

Lu Yuan felt as if he were standing in a sea of fire, astounding lightning colliding and intertwining with his entire body.

Nevertheless, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to this extreme trial.

He employed the Five Elements Escape Armor Art to adjust his internal spiritual power, allowing it to recover as quickly as possible to face the forthcoming tribulation lightning.

Each bolt of lightning was accompanied by blinding light and a tremendous roar, making Lu Yuan feel his whole body trembling.

But he did not retreat, repeatedly blocking the tribulation's assaults.

After the first wave of heavenly tribulation passed, he was covered in wounds yet remained steadfast.

He realized the tribulation's tempering effect on a cultivator's flesh, sighing inwardly.

Although his injuries appeared severe, Lu Yuan knew he possessed abundant experience and precious resources to heal them.

Thus he took the pills meticulously refined from Lei Huo Dan Ge, quickly replenishing his spiritual power with them.

At the same time, he used the Five Elements Escape Armor Art to regulate his breath and bodily condition.

The second wave of heavenly tribulation was imminent.

Lu Yuan stood in place, staring at the dense dark clouds in the sky, and sensed from the space an even greater and terrifying aggregation of lightning energy.

Fine yet mighty lightning rained down from the sky, cleaving the air into sword-like bolts of lightning.

Lu Yuan drew a deep breath, his eyes flashing with determined light.

This time, he resolved to challenge his limits and temper his flesh to the utmost.

He welcomed the second wave of heavenly tribulation without hesitation.

Countless bolts of lightning crashed down, the whole space seeming to tremble.

Lu Yuan's whole body radiated incomparably dazzling spiritual light, dancing incessantly under the lightning's impact.

Tribulation lightning came in successive waves, each bolt carrying destructive power.

But Lu Yuan showed no slack, remaining vigilant and focused at all times.

His mind gradually calmed, focusing on feeling the stimulation and challenge the lightning brought to his flesh.

Each collision of lightning enhanced his understanding of spiritual power control and the limits of his physical body.

Lu Yuan realized he was gradually surpassing his previous realm; every heart‑pounding moment became an opportunity for him to break through himself.

Lu Yuan gazed ahead, witnessing the scorching, brilliant lightning like a myriad‑zhang silver river streaking across the sky.

As the heavenly tribulation grew fiercer, he drew a deep breath, calmly contemplating his next response.

"This tribulation is stronger than any before." He muttered to himself.

"I have exerted all my strength, using the Five Elements Escape Armor Art to adjust the flow of spiritual power, and successfully activated the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation prepared beforehand in the underground space."

"But it seems these means are gradually becoming unable to sustain."

Lu Yuan fell into contemplation, knowing he could no longer continue to consume such a vast amount of spiritual power.

Spirit stone resources are nearly exhausted, and each tribulation consumes a large amount of spiritual power and the might of treasures. (End of chapter)
