478 Breaking Through Physique Tempering Stage Seven! The Magical Yin-Yang Eye!

This was the final strike of the thirty-sixth Tiangang God of Thunder. It was also the most vicious and harsh strike!

This strike of lightning wasn't very thick, but it thoroughly engulfed Ling Yun's seated body and was a pure gold color. It was a thoroughly condensed beam of lightning like a golden rod connecting the earth to the skies. Descending from the skies, it struck Ling Yun's body harshly!

Thousands of streaks of lightning struck down, extending from the skies to the oceans, covering every inch of the area with the golden light. Even a beach hundreds of nautical miles away could feel an unusual glow!

The sky seemed as if it could collapse as cracks started forming in the ground, and an earthquake began as the mountains started shaking!

Ling Yun's body was struck harshly by the lightning. He was immediately blown off the ground, flying hundreds of meters. With a "bang", Ling Yun's battered body fell into the sea!

However, even if that were the case, Ling Yun maintained his cross-legged posture as he clutched the Bodhi Bead. Shutting his eyes tightly, his face remained determined!

He was going through his tribulation. Naturally, he knew that the attacks from the lightning tribulation were getting stronger because the heavens were getting harsher. Ling Yun felt this clearly. He knew that his breakthrough was failing because of the Heaven's Tribulation power!

Breaking through to the next realm during a tribulation wasn't only a challenge for himself, but also his way of overcoming heaven's oppression!

Ling Yun sank dozens of meters into the ocean. However, at this time, the True Qi in his body was filled to the brim. It flowed continuously, allowing his body to float above the surface of the water!

After the thirty-sixth Tiangang God of Thunder had completed all of its attacks, the second wave of lightning tribulation was finally over.

Ling Yun was determined to break through to the next realm!

He couldn't be bothered by his battered body, and he pulled out all his Spirit Talismans at once!

These Spirit Talismans had absorbed the water spiritual energy before Bai Xianer's tribulation. Crushing all of them now, his body began to absorb all of the water spiritual energy!

After his eighth attempt at breakthrough, Ling Yun knew that his failure had to do with his injuries worsening. It was also related to the heaven's oppression. Furthermore, the abundant Yang Qi in his body was another cause!

Be it the Xiantian True Qi released when Little White transformed, the Dragon Spiritual Energy, the Heavenly Fox Spiritual Energy, or the dragon saliva he consumed, all of those contained pure Yang Qi. That Qi overwhelmed his body, and it lacked gentle Qi.

Ten bundles consisting of a thousand Spirit Talismans each were used up by Ling Yun at once. Absorbing all the water spiritual energy in his body, he began to control the water spiritual energy, using it to wrap around his pure Yang Qi. He focused all of it into his Wisdom's Brow again!

As expected, Ling Yun immediately began to feel something move within his brow. He pushed forward towards his breakthrough again!

There was another thing Ling Yun didn't know was in his body. There was another streak of pure gold lightning power within him. That was something he obtained from the last strike of golden lightning. The power from that strike of lightning had obviously turned into the key factor for his breakthrough!

As long as one could endure the tribulation, other than the physical injuries they suffered, they would gain nothing but benefits from it!

The Heavenly Dao had never acted without a purpose. As long as you were willing to invest effort, you would get rewards in return. That was the nature of the tribulation.

Ling Yun's sea of consciousness contained a majestic Xiantian True Qi that was light gold!

The golden lightning's power was like a broken piece of bamboo as Ling Yun attempted to channel its energy. This left Ling Yun in a lot of pain. His brow furrowed tightly. However, he had no choice. It was necessary.

Luckily, he had the gentle water spiritual energy enveloping it, which eliminated a lot of the pain. Otherwise, he would have definitely failed this time!

Once, twice, thrice…

"Boom!"

Ling Yun's sea of consciousness had finally broken through the thick layers of Qi. The light gold Xiantian True Qi he couldn't feel started flowing out continuously. He could use it now!

Ling Yun's expression turned into that of surprise! It was because, at that moment, he could use the strong divine sense and light gold Xiantian True Qi!

"Healing Technique!" Just like the time he first arrived on Earth, Ling Yun used his strong divine sense to heal all his wounds at once. His body was in better condition than before!

This time, Ling Yun was smarter. After he obtained control over the strong divine sense, the first thing he did was inspect his body. He wanted to understand the state of his energy center!

Heavens, this is… the Yin-Yang fish!

The split in the middle is actually the golden dragon-pattern?

The energy center is actually so huge? Damn, even the tailbone turned gold. What's going on here?

The meridians are actually so thick now, it's horrifying…

This… the Xiantian True Qi in my brow is actually light gold!

It was the first time Ling Yun used the divine sight on his own body. In an instant, he understood his body's state completely. His jaw unintentionally dropped as he was continuously shocked!

It was only a moment, but the Xiantian True Qi in his sea of consciousness overflowed. He was only able to use it to heal his injuries and inspect himself. Then, he couldn't sense it any longer.

However, Ling Yun knew that a crack had opened to the door to obtaining his sea of consciousness. Even though he couldn't use the Xiantian True Qi yet, it was already connected with his energy center.

"Boom!"

Ling Yun's fast-spinning energy center expanded as though there was an explosion. The meridians in his body grew thicker and larger, becoming sturdier!

Finally, he broke through Physique Tempering Stage Seven!

"Ha…" Ling Yun released a long breath. Even though it was a difficult journey, his rewards were phenomenal! They were huge!

He felt like he vaguely gained a little control of his divine sense. Even though it was very weak and couldn't be used to do anything like internal inspection, he could passively use it to analyze the situation around him.

To Ling Yun, this was already a huge achievement. Once he reached Physique Tempering Stage Seven, he would obtain control of the divine sense. This was something that any cultivation genius yearned for, and something they would be immensely jealous of.

The Yin-Yang Eye was strong. Smiling, he opened his eyes as he looked in a certain direction. Little White was standing on the surface of the water twenty meters away, and her beautiful face seemed a little dazed. Her mesmerizing eyes had a look of admiration and jealousy that she couldn't hide. Before she could withdraw the anxiety on her face, tears began streaking down her cheeks.

His gaze shifted down as his eyes naturally admired her snow-white, curvy, sexy, and enticing body-line through her white dress!

"Heh, this feels great…"

His Yin-Yang Eye wasn't developed yet, but it already had an effect similar to X-ray vision. Even though Ling Yun already knew that, he couldn't hold back his surprise. He was very excited for the future.

Now, Ling Yun could only see through a satin dress. A material like this was very thin. Other than for cheeky purposes, there was no other use for it. However, if he continued cultivating the Yin-Yang Eye, his gaze could actually penetrate a person's skin.

He could search for illnesses by eye and use his divine sense to find the root cause. With the Healing Talisman to treat external injuries and the Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot to treat internal illnesses, he was very well considered a divine physician!

"Xian Er, I'm fine now! You can return first!"

Ling Yun sensed Bai Xianer's anxiety. Smiling happily, he let her leave first.

As Ling Yun talked, he began standing up in the middle of the sea naturally. Standing on the surface of the water, he walked confidently above the waves as he returned to shore.

Looking up at the sky, he stared at the black tribulation cloud that refused to let him go. He sighed lightly in his heart.

The tribulation cloud was still black, meaning that the power of the lightning tribulation hadn't changed because of his ability surge. He estimated that he could now withstand the remaining waves of lightning.

Attaining Physique Tempering Stage Seven and transitioning into the late stages of Physique Tempering meant that Ling Yun's energy center was now about twelve centimeters thick, and each of his Eight Extraordinary Meridians were as thick as a thumb. He had also just obtained the cleansing from the light gold Xiantian True Qi, so his entire body was at its prime condition. He was fully confident!

"The Heaven's Tribulation wants me? Then, I'll be the heavens' challenger!"

Returning to the shore, Ling Yun opened his palm as he looked at the Bodhi Bead that remained greyish-black. He realized that the patterns of the Buddha on it had become clearer. He couldn't help but frown lightly.

Smiling confidently at Bai Xianer who was nearby, Ling Yun moved two hundred meters in one movement, landing on the top of a mountain!

"Woosh!"

Wielding the Devil's Blade in his hand, he swung it nine times towards the air!

Ling Yun's blade was far too fast, and the dark blade's silhouettes overlapped, creating multiple afterimages. Even after Ling Yun withdrew his blade and stopped his movements, the afterimages remained!

"Yeah, it's much easier to handle now!" Ling Yun chuckled, feeling like the Devil's Blade was no different from a pair of chopsticks in his hand.

"Accompany me to battle now…" Ling Yun gazed at the Devil's Blade as if he were talking to an old friend.

The Devil's Blade in his hand quivered slightly and let out a cry that sounded exactly like a Nine Devil Dragon's angry roar!

"Boom boom…"

The tribulation clouds began to rumble as thunder resounded loudly! The heavens' oppression increased by a few folds again!

"Chk!" A strike of golden lightning ripped out from the tribulation cloud, heading straight to Ling Yun's pockets!

Standing confidently on the peak, Ling Yun's posture was dignified, and his gaze remained firm and cold. His body seemed to emanate a fighting spirit he hadn't had before!

Fighting against the heavens gave him an immense thrill!

Each tribulation Ling Yun went through left his adrenaline pumping. Pursing his lips, he used Qian Kun Slash, directing his blade to the skies. Meeting that flash of lightning directly, he redirected it fiercely!

"Kacha!"

Striking the body of the Devil's Blade, the golden light was completely absorbed into it. On impact, Ling Yun's hand was getting numb, and he almost let go of his sword!

Ling Yun's hair was standing straight because of the attacks from the lightning tribulation, but he didn't care at all. Staring vengefully at the skies, his gaze seemed to rebel and say, "There's still seventeen more to go, come at me!"

In reality, that strike of golden lightning was much more vicious and dangerous than the final strike of the second wave's Golden God of Thunder. Technically, even if Ling Yun reached Physique Tempering Stage Seven, he would be cast aside like before. However, the Devil's Blade had actually helped him absorb 80% of the lightning's power, allowing all of the tension in Ling Yun's body to be released at once.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Another eleven strikes from the Golden God of Thunder descended consecutively. Slashing twelve times in response, he finally couldn't withstand the power of the lightning and was flung a hundred meters!

However, Ling Yun was barely injured. His confidence boosted, he flew to the peak once again to take on the final six strikes of lightning from the tribulation's third wave!

"Come!"

Facing the lightning tribulation above him, Ling Yun roared into the skies!
