The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1059 This lightning tribulation is too exaggerated!

One Enlightenment Fruit, three days.

He vaguely saw the shadow of that door.

Two Enlightenment Fruits, six days.

He stood in front of the door, saw it clearly, and even pushed it open a crack.

Three Enlightenment Fruits.

On the seventh day, he pushed the door open halfway.

On the eighth day, he pushed the door open completely and saw the world behind it.

On the ninth day, he stepped inside.

The sky suddenly changed.

In the distance, the less seriously injured members of the bandit gang had recovered and were watching the still valley in the distance, talking in hushed tones.

"Today is the tenth day, isn't it?"

"Yes, the Black Mystic Stone Pearl only lasts for ten days. If he hasn't broken through the bottleneck by today, then this breakthrough will probably be considered a failure."

"This is strange. It's been nine days, and there's still no movement."

"Hey, what's his background? He's clearly a Nascent Soul cultivator, but he seems incredibly strong. He can easily face Void Realm cultivators without any fear."

"They're just skilled. If you were skilled enough to destroy a few Void Realm cultivators, you wouldn't be afraid when you see them again."

As everyone was discussing this, a sudden gust of wind picked up.

Strong winds.

"Why has the wind suddenly picked up!"

"Look at the sky!"

Someone cried out in alarm, and everyone looked up at the sky, only to find that the sky was changing rapidly.

The sky quickly darkened, and the clouds rapidly turned into dark clouds, overlapping each other like black mountain peaks.

Despite it being a bright and sunny day, dark clouds suddenly gathered over the area within a radius of a hundred miles.

"boom!"

A deep rumble of thunder echoed in the air, like the muffled sound of war drums, while lightning began to flash intermittently within the thick, dark clouds.

"Thunder Tribulation!"

"The center of the tribulation is right where Lin Chu is. He has broken through and is about to face the tribulation!"

"Breakthrough!"

Everyone exclaimed in surprise, and even Yelü Yuan and Gao Yi came out of the cave, looking up at the mountain sky. Gao Yi said in a deep voice, "He succeeded."

Yelü Yuan replied, "Only by passing the tribulation of lightning can one be considered successful."

Above the Nascent Soul stage, advancement requires passing through a tribulation of lightning. If one cannot withstand the heavenly lightning, they will be struck by it and their soul will be scattered, resulting in death and the dissipation of their Dao.

Each advancement is certainly a good thing, but the tribulation of lightning is a hurdle.

A life-threatening hurdle!

Not every cultivator can successfully overcome the tribulation of lightning. The stronger one is, the greater the power of the tribulation of lightning, and the lower the chance of advancing in rank by overcoming the tribulation of lightning.

Some people have roughly calculated that about 60% of those who advance from Nascent Soul to Deity Transformation successfully pass the tribulation, while only 20% of those who advance from Deity Transformation to Void Transformation successfully pass the tribulation.

Ten Nascent Soul cultivators can become six Divine Transformation cultivators, and ten Divine Transformation cultivators can only become two Void Transformation cultivators. The rest fail to pass the tribulation of lightning and simply vanish into nothingness. This is why cultivators are said to defy the heavens and live by facing death.

The dark clouds continued to thicken and expand, eventually swirling with the powerful winds and forming a huge hole in the center. Lightning flashed within the hole, creating an immense sense of oppression.

Lin Chen flew up from his hiding place and headed towards the huge hole of lightning in the sky.

Lin Chen's actions seemed to have angered the heavens. Lightning flashed in the Thunder Cave, and a bolt of lightning thicker than a bucket struck Lin Chen from above.

Lin Chen floated in the air, neither drawing his sword nor using any magical treasures, letting the lightning strike him on the head.

Lin Chen's body surged with spiritual energy and sword energy. He moved with the flow of his will, and the lightning that struck him was instantly shattered by the sword energy.

Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw this.

"Wow, he didn't even move! That's pretty brutal!"

"This first bolt of lightning is already this thick? Do you remember what your tribulations were like when you advanced to the Nascent Soul stage?"

"The three lightning tribulations before mine were like thin snakes, nothing compared to this one. It felt like it would take at least five or six bolts of heavenly lightning to be this thick!"

"Yes, I remember it was about the same. This is the first lightning tribulation he's faced, and each subsequent tribulation is even more brutal. How can he withstand it?"

"The magnitude of the tribulation lightning is related to the strength of the one undergoing it. The stronger the one, the stronger the tribulation lightning. Based on this, it can be inferred that Lin Chu's strength may have already surpassed the Nascent Soul stage and is comparable to the Divine Transformation stage."

"Impressive! He was already this strong when he reached the Nascent Soul stage. His strength must be even more terrifying when he advances to the Deity Transformation stage!"

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, the second lightning tribulation descended. This time, several bolts of lightning appeared in the sky and struck Lin Chen simultaneously.

Lin Chen remained motionless, relying solely on the sword energy on his body to resist the lightning tribulation.

He could also tell that today's tribulation lightning was quite a spectacle!
The third, the fourth, and the fifth.

Three lightning bolts struck in succession, each one stronger than the last. By the fifth lightning bolt, the lightning was no longer individual bolts of lightning, but a pillar of lightning with a diameter of several meters!
A pillar of lightning fell from the sky, enveloping Lin Chen entirely in a blinding white light. The sight made everyone's eyelids twitch.

"This is only the fifth lightning tribulation. Even the ninth lightning tribulation we went through before wasn't this exaggerated, was it?"
