Qin Renhuang just became an immortal, and you told me this is the prehistoric time

Ying Shaoyang sighed inwardly. According to ancient records, after a normal Heavenly Tribulation, life force containing vitality and pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth would often descend to replenish the tribulation-taker's consumption and even help them break through their cultivation realm.

He endured six bolts of lightning in succession, but only felt endless destruction, without any sign of life, nor could he sense any spiritual energy from heaven and earth that he could absorb.

He understood that this was because the Qin world was still at a low level and incomplete in many aspects. This tribulation had exhausted the energy of the Qin world itself and the surrounding void, and the subsequent replenishment of energy would require time to draw and circulate from the more distant chaos.

He looked up at the calamity clouds that had not dissipated but were instead slowly recovering their energy, and realized...

"If it weren't for my foundation far surpassing that of others of the same level, and the use of numerous means to weaken the first few bolts of lightning, an ordinary Nascent Soul Realm cultivator would probably have perished long ago, facing a heavenly tribulation of this scale with no replenishment!"

At this moment, the destructive power of thunder that had invaded his primordial spirit was finally completely eliminated.

The pure Yang energy at its core has grown more than a hundred times stronger during this trial! The primordial spirit, which was originally forty meters tall, has now condensed to the same size as his physical body. Although its size has shrunk, every strand of spiritual power contains pure Yang energy and exudes an aura of eternity and immortality.

His body, every cell, was filled with yang energy, as if he had been reborn.

His body and spirit were essentially ready to step into a new realm of life; all that was needed was time to gradually adjust, and then it would come to fruition naturally.

However, Ying Shaoyang looked at the tribulation clouds in the sky, which still showed no signs of dissipating, and his expression became solemn.

"There are... three more!"

He clearly sensed that this tribulation, a test for both the individual and the world, was not yet over! And the remaining three bolts of lightning were likely to be more terrifying than the last!
At the membrane of heaven and earth, the absorption capacity, enhanced by the stimulation of the lightning tribulation, continued to surge into the Great Qin World, transforming into semi-transformed heaven and earth energy, like a flood bursting its banks, rushing and surging in the void.

Ying Shaoyang's expression was solemn. As he raised his hand, a dark silver bead, with countless stars seemingly flowing inside, appeared in his palm.

This bead incorporates the nascent forms of hundreds of thousands of newly formed stars in the Great Qin World, as well as a massive amount of planetary materials he refined in the Yangshen World. The sheer amount of resources it consumes is unprecedented in the history of the Great Qin World!

He originally did not intend to use such treasures that were close to immortal artifacts to deal with the primordial spirit lightning tribulation, because it was difficult for an already formed immortal artifact to improve itself by borrowing the power of lightning tribulation.

On the contrary, those powerful magical artifacts made of top-quality materials that are not yet fully formed have the opportunity to be reborn under the extreme pressure of the lightning tribulation, greatly increasing their potential. The purpose of taking out this bead now is to use this terrifying seventh lightning bolt to forcibly purify and refine the materials inside the bead that have not yet been perfectly fused.

Just then, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly shrank inward, as if even the gap in the barrier between heaven and earth was about to close.

But the next moment, an even more turbulent surge of chaotic energy rushed in! The tribulation clouds rapidly saturated and expanded at a visible speed, and the entire void of the Great Qin world seemed to be stretched out by a circle, filled with almost liquefied, semi-transformed heaven and earth energy!

The Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Array, the Thousand Silk Daoist Robe, and the Great Qin Imperial Palace, which had just undergone a transformation, all floated in the void. At this moment, they were like three huge vortexes, trying their best to absorb this vast energy. However, compared with the energy torrent that filled the entire void, it was still just a drop in the ocean.

The Great Qin world, originally depleted of energy due to the lightning tribulation, suddenly surged with energy, even giving people a suffocating sense of oppression. After a long time, this suffocating feeling of energy overload gradually returned to normal as the energy subsided.

boom--! ! !
The seventh bolt of lightning crashed down amidst the energy tide! Its power already carried a touch of true immortal majesty!
Without hesitation, Ying Shaoyang tossed the orb in his hand upwards! The orb instantly dispersed, transforming into a dazzling starlight barrier that covered dozens of miles, firmly encompassing the seventh bolt of lightning!
Although Ying Shaoyang had refined the inside of this bead multiple times, and even added top-tier planetary materials from the Yangshen World, some materials still failed to be fully absorbed and fused by the core.

At this moment, under the terrifying force of the seventh lightning bolt, which combines destruction and creation, the hundreds of thousands of miniature stars inside the sphere began to tremble violently, and even showed signs of melting on their surfaces! A large number of impurities that failed to fuse perfectly turned into black smoke and were forcibly removed and annihilated!
The volume of all the stars is shrinking rapidly, condensing more than tenfold! What was originally a miniature earthen planet is quickly transforming into a purer, more dazzling form, as clear and translucent as various gemstones, radiating dazzling brilliance!

Of course, the power of this lightning bolt could not be completely absorbed by the orb. The remaining, still powerful lightning force penetrated the starlight barrier and landed on Ying Shaoyang.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he manipulated the Star Bead, which had completed its initial tempering, and together with the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Array, the Thousand Silk Daoist Robe, and the Great Qin Imperial Palace, transformed into a stream of light and flew into the higher and more distant void, temporarily avoiding the core area of ​​the tribulation clouds.

The remaining lightning, whose power had been largely absorbed by the Star Array, raged within Ying Shaoyang's body for a moment before being forcibly extinguished by his powerful physical body and his already pure Yang primordial spirit.

The star orb that flew into the void began to greedily devour the surrounding semi-converted energy, repairing the damage caused by the lightning and consolidating its new form. After a long time, the lightning on it gradually subsided and its color returned to stability.

However, the chaotic energy from the outside world continued to pour into the Qin world, making the energy in the void so dense that it was almost solidified. After a brief contraction, the dark tribulation clouds above began to expand again, crackling with electricity and brewing an even more terrifying power.

The eighth bolt of lightning, showing no mercy, struck down with a terrifying will that seemed to both create the world and return it to chaos! Its power had already completely entered the Immortal level!

Faced with the eighth bolt of lightning, Ying Shaoyang was not surprised but laughed, revealing a "just as I thought" expression on his face.

"Hey! I've been waiting for you!"

With a thought, the divine rune representing the origin of the "Five Thunder Great Art" that was floating within his pure Yang primordial spirit suddenly flew out! This rune was now as solid as a physical object, radiating a Daoist charm that was of the same origin as the thunder in the sky but even more profound, and it fiercely met the eighth thunderbolt!
The moment the runes collided with the lightning, unimaginable light erupted! The runes themselves seemed to receive the most primal nourishment, their size increasing tenfold, and countless intricate and profound new patterns sprouted on their surface, instantly elevating the true meaning of lightning they contained to several levels!

The terrifying eighth bolt of lightning, after being washed away and absorbed by the rune of the same origin but of a higher level, suddenly lost its power! The remaining lightning, along with the rune, obediently entered Ying Shaoyang's body.

Ying Shaoyang swayed slightly, exhaled a breath of grayish-black turbid air, and completely extinguished the remaining power of the eighth lightning bolt.

He looked up and saw that after releasing the lightning, the dark clouds in the sky expanded again, then rapidly contracted, eventually condensing into a ball only a few miles in diameter. However, the speed at which it absorbed and converted energy reached a terrifying level that was astonishing!
Ying Shaoyang gave a bitter smile. "The Five Thunder Great Technique runes are my last and most suitable means to deal with the lightning tribulation."

He understood.

"Judging from the increasing power of this eighth lightning bolt, the ninth... I have no other suitable magic weapon to withstand it. This intensity is truly a Celestial Tribulation!" He originally intended to undergo a single Celestial Tribulation to strengthen himself and the Great Qin World, but he never expected that his tribulation would be closely connected with the "First Tribulation" of this world, with power far exceeding his expectations.

"Fortunately, I am the ruler of this realm!"

He secretly rejoiced. If he were in another world, facing such a heavenly tribulation, he would probably only be able to rely on magical treasures to withstand it, and his life or death would be uncertain.

But here, anything is possible, and successfully overcoming the tribulation should be the top priority!

At this moment, the Five Thunder Great Art divine power rune, which had absorbed the source of the eighth thunder and grown more than ten times stronger, had returned and was floating outside Ying Shaoyang's primordial spirit.

Compared to the pure Yang primordial spirit, this rune appeared enormous. Every particle within the primordial spirit seemed to contain subtle lightning, making the entire primordial spirit look even more majestic and domineering. In fact, the aura of lightning-based divine abilities began to subtly suppress the fluctuations of other divine abilities within the primordial spirit, but Ying Shaoyang had no time to pay attention to anything else at the moment.

The ninth bolt of lightning is about to descend! It is the true lightning of a celestial tribulation!

His gaze sharpened, and he was about to use his last resort—summoning the "Demon Refining Tower," one of the Qin Dynasty's most important national treasures, located far away in Xianyang! It was a true celestial artifact, which might be able to withstand this final celestial-level lightning.

However, just as he had this thought, something unexpected happened!

In the sky, the extremely dense black clouds, stretching for miles, began to fade rapidly, not dissipating, but transforming! In the blink of an eye, the pitch-black calamity clouds transformed into a vast, multicolored auspicious cloud covering thousands of miles!

The ethereal music rose from the auspicious clouds, melodious and soothing, cleansing the soul.

Countless golden "heavenly flowers" formed from pure spiritual energy and Daoist principles drifted down from auspicious clouds like snowflakes, sprinkling them on every corner of the Great Qin world!
Ying Shaoyang subconsciously reached out and grabbed a falling piece of sky flower, feeling the vast yet gentle spiritual energy of heaven and earth contained within it. Its total amount was almost equivalent to the internal energy accumulated by a top martial arts master throughout his life of hard work!

"Flowers rained down from the sky, golden lotuses sprang from the ground... This is a sign of heaven and earth rewarding a successful tribulation!"

Ying Shaoyang instantly understood.

The spiritual energy contained in this smallpox is an unparalleled tonic for the Great Qin world and ordinary cultivators, but it has little significance for his already pure Yang body and primordial spirit.

He forcibly suppressed the piece of celestial flower in his hand, preventing it from being absorbed immediately.

Instead, he looked up again at the colorful auspicious clouds.

In the void, the vast semi-transformed energy of heaven and earth continued to surge toward the auspicious clouds, its total amount almost equivalent to the total spiritual power consumed by the previous nine bolts of lightning!

This time, however, the energy no longer contained any destructive aura, but was filled with boundless, warm, and gentle...life energy! This life energy was slowly condensing within the auspicious clouds, seemingly about to transform into a final gift.

Ying Shaoyang knew that the most dangerous moment had passed, and the moment of harvest was about to begin! And this final condensation of life energy was probably the most important reward for him and for the Great Qin world!
He focused his mind and sensed it, and a sudden realization and surprise arose in his heart.

Within those densely packed, multi-mile-long tribulation clouds, there was no longer a trace of the violent aura of destruction and thunder. Instead, there was an unimaginably vast and extremely pure life energy! This was completely different from any record he knew of regarding tribulations.

In the sky, golden "ceiling flowers" formed from pure spiritual energy and Daoist principles continued to fall endlessly, as if they would never stop.

With a slight movement of his divine sense, Ying Shaoyang perceived that the total amount of spiritual energy contained in each celestial flower was equivalent to the total internal energy accumulated by a top martial arts master in a lifetime of arduous cultivation! And these celestial flowers were being scattered across every inch of the Qin world in units of hundreds of millions.

He looked down and saw that the once vast desert beneath his feet, after absorbing the falling snowflakes, seemed to have been infused with boundless vitality. The sand grains had become deeper in color, denser in texture, and even faintly shimmered with a warm luster, like the finest spiritual soil.

This is not the scene that should appear after the destruction of thunder; this is clearly creation and rebirth!
Just then, the auspicious, multicolored clouds that covered the vast sky seemed to come alive, slowly descending towards Ying Shaoyang. The melodious and ethereal celestial music grew clearer, like the divine pronouncements of the Great Dao, washing away all the dust of the world.

The moment the colorful auspicious clouds touched Ying Shaoyang's body, he was jolted violently! Vast, gentle, and mellow life energy, without needing his guidance, spontaneously and frantically surged into every corner of his body!
His pure Yang primordial spirit, which had been tempered by lightning and was already roughly the same size as his physical body, began to expand and grow uncontrollably like an inflated balloon under the infusion of this boundless life energy! Ten meters, fifty meters, one hundred meters…

In a short moment, his primordial spirit had transformed into a giant two hundred meters tall, standing tall and radiating divine might, surrounded by pure yang energy, just like an ancient god who created the world!

"good chance!"

Ying Shaoyang's mind raced, and he immediately seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

He deliberately guided that vast life energy, diverting a large portion of it and pouring it into the numerous supernatural runes floating around his primordial spirit.

In an instant, all the supernatural runes burst forth with dazzling light, as if a long-awaited rain had fallen! The patterns of the runes became even more complex and profound, as if they were the embodiment of the rules of the Great Dao.

Among them, the "Five Thunder Great Technique" divine power rune, which had absorbed the essence of the eighth thunderbolt and had grown tenfold, occupied the core position of all the divine powers like stars surrounding the moon, emitting a terrifying thunderous power that could change the color of heaven and earth.

Driven by life energy, a massive amount of spiritual power surged wildly into this core rune.

Ying Shaoyang could clearly feel that every moment of growth and refinement of this rune was equivalent to the effect he could achieve by cultivating at full strength for a month!
At the same time, every cell in his Martial Saint body, supported by life energy, underwent a deeper transformation, becoming more resilient and brimming with boundless vitality. The acupoints opened throughout his body, like miniature black holes, were rapidly filled with extremely pure energy. (End of Chapter)
