Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 1116 Advancement to Nascent Soul (Part 2)

This also shows that, starting from the Nascent Soul stage, the Great Dao rules place great emphasis on the unity of the Five Elements.

Those with multiple spiritual roots begin to show their advantages, and the unity of the five elements becomes especially crucial when attempting to break through to the Void Refinement Realm.

While the Five Elements Tribulation Lightning is terrifying for other cultivators, the situation is naturally different for Ning Fa.

He possesses the Five Elements Thunder Body, which combines the power of the five elements.

Even when facing a heavenly tribulation, his lightning avoidance talent cannot be used, but he can still activate the Five Elements Divine Lightning with opposing attributes to counteract the tribulation lightning.

However, the tribulation clouds that Ning Fa is facing at this moment are much stronger than those that ordinary cultivators face when they break through to the Nascent Soul stage. Therefore, his tribulation to reach the Nascent Soul stage this time will definitely not be an easy task.

At this moment, Ningfa opened his mouth and spat out five beams of spiritual light.

Five lightning swords, crackling with electricity, circled around him, emitting clear, melodious sword cries as if they possessed a spirit.

Ning Fa looked at the five thunder swords with delight in his eyes.

At this moment, the spiritual pressure emitted by the Heavenly Calamity Sword far exceeded that before, reaching the level of a top-grade spiritual treasure. It was worth the effort he had spent on so many True Source Crystal Cores, plus the five elements divine lightning that he had been nurturing it for nearly a hundred years. It did not disappoint him.

Moreover, the Heavenly Tribulation Sword still has great potential for growth. Even without adding other precious materials to enhance it, as long as it advances to the Nascent Soul Realm and continues to nurture it with the Five Elements Divine Thunder, it will eventually be able to advance to the Heavenly Treasure level.

At this moment, a muffled thunderclap sounded. Ning Fa looked up at the tribulation clouds in the sky and saw lightning rolling within them. A huge tribulation lightning bolt was about to take shape, and its terrifying power could change the color of heaven and earth.

Ning Fa's expression turned solemn. The reason why tribulation lightning is so terrifying is that it contains the power of the laws of heaven and earth. At this moment, his Five Elements Lightning Body's lightning avoidance talent is ineffective against this kind of tribulation lightning, and he can only rely on himself to withstand it.

Even at his peak, his eyes were still full of high spirits and confidence.

The next moment, with a deafening thunderclap, a bolt of blue lightning as thick as a bucket cleaved down from the clouds like a sharp sword.

Ning Fa roared, and the five Heavenly Tribulation Swords merged into one in his hands. He wielded the sword and charged forward, unleashing a towering sword aura that scattered the lightning. The first bolt of tribulation lightning was shattered by him.

A quarter of an hour later, the second bolt of tribulation lightning struck, its power doubling that of the first.

Ning Fa's body crackled with dazzling lightning as he once again took to the air, sword in hand.

After a loud bang, Ning Fa landed steadily and unharmed, easily blocking the second lightning bolt.

A quarter of an hour later, the third tribulation lightning appeared again. This time, its power was three times that of the first lightning, but it still could not pose much of a threat to Ning Fa at this moment, and it was easily shattered by him.

The fourth lightning bolt was slow to strike, but the tribulation clouds in the sky grew thicker and thicker.

A full hour later, the fourth tribulation lightning descended from the tribulation clouds. It had now transformed into blue and white lightning, spiraling and intertwining with each other. Its power was about four times that of the first tribulation lightning, and it carried a special aura of destruction.

Ning Fa remained unfazed. This time, instead of directly using the Heavenly Calamity Sword to block, he leaped up and unleashed a punch with the power to shatter mountains and split seas, shattering the two-colored lightning bolt.

The process of resisting the heavenly tribulation is a rare opportunity to temper one's body, so he naturally wouldn't miss it.

In this way, over a period of nearly two hours, three bolts of two-colored tribulation lightning struck down, but Ning Fa blocked them all with his bare hands.

Although he had sustained some injuries and his aura had weakened, he remained calm, indicating that the first six tribulation lightning bolts had not yet put too much pressure on him.

At this moment, a peculiar thunderclap sounded. He looked up and saw three-colored lightning beginning to gather in the tribulation clouds. Soon after, a blue, white, and black tri-colored lightning ball fell down, and the terrifying power it contained made Ning Fa's expression change slightly.

The terror of this tribulation lightning is a level higher than the previous two-colored tribulation lightning. It's like the difference between the attack of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator and that of an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator—the gap is enormous and cannot be easily measured.

Without further hesitation, he immediately activated the Divine Firmament Dharma Form, transforming into a thunder giant about ten zhang tall amidst dazzling lightning, though he was no longer wearing the Divine Firmament Thunder Armor.

Because the inner Divine Firmament Thunder Armor had already been destroyed when it resisted the Six Paths Meteorite Array.

Even so, the terrifying pressure emanating from Ning Fa's Divine Firmament Dharma Form was nearly twice as strong as before.

The armor, condensed from purple lightning, was covered with mysterious and ancient lightning runes that contained boundless power, making him resemble a thunder god.

The image of the Buddha clasped his hands together and raised them high, where layers of five-colored lightning gathered, forming a five-colored thunder mountain.

The Dharma Image leaped up and crashed into the tri-colored lightning bolt. With a deafening roar, countless arcs of tri-colored lightning cascaded down like a silver river and shattered completely.

Ningfa crashed heavily into the sea, stirring up a hundred-foot-high wave, but soon the Dharma image flew out from it. Although the Thunder Armor was damaged in many places, it was slowly repaired after a flash of lightning.

An hour later, the second tribulation lightning bolt struck, and the Dharma Image's eyes, which were like a purple sun, suddenly lit up, and it soared into the air once more.

Two more hours passed, and Ning Fa blocked the third tribulation lightning bolt.

He had already deactivated his Dharma form. His body was covered in wounds, and drops of blood were dripping from his body. Although his face was pale, he remained calm.

Although these nine tribulation lightning bolts were powerful, they did not cost him too much. The key lies in the tribulation lightning bolts of the five elements that follow.

Ning Fa quickly took out several True Source Crystal Cores and seized the time to recover his energy.

The sky was filled with even thicker clouds, as if the end of the world had arrived, with terrifying bolts of lightning churning within them, creating a sense of oppression.

Three hours later, flames erupted from the tribulation clouds, and a crimson lightning bolt, several feet long and seemingly ordinary, fell down, far surpassing the previous powerful tribulation lightning, yet it exuded an incomparably terrifying fire attribute aura.

The first thing to fall was a bolt of fire.

Ning Fa took a deep breath and activated the Divine Firmament Dharma Form once again, switching the Heavenly Tribulation Sword in his hand to the Gui Water Sword.

Layers of black lightning, like waves, surged from his body and gathered on the Guishui Sword. His Dharma form suddenly unleashed a sword strike, and a black giant wave, like a towering peak, slashed fiercely towards the fire and lightning.

The fiery lightning suddenly burst into flames, transforming into countless crimson bolts that instead enveloped the black behemoth. For a moment, steam billowed into the sky. After several dozen breaths, the world returned to calm; Ning Fa had blocked this fiery lightning. An hour later, the second Five Elements Tribulation Lightning struck. It was pure white, radiating an aura of unparalleled sharpness, capable of cutting and shattering anything. It was clearly a golden lightning bolt, its power nearly twice that of the previous fiery lightning.

Ning Fa immediately activated his Fire God Thunder, his body enveloped in crimson lightning, and charged forward once more.

And so a whole day passed.

As the last bolt of lightning was blocked by Ningfa, the tribulation clouds in the sky finally dissipated quickly, and the sky returned to a clear blue.

At this moment, Ning Fa knelt on one knee, his whole body trembling. He took a deep breath and stood up again.

At this moment, his body was covered in wounds, with at least a dozen deep wounds that exposed bone, and his breath had plummeted to the bottom.

These Five Elements Tribulation Lightning were indeed terrifying. The power of the last Wood Lightning was dozens of times stronger than that of the first Tribulation Lightning, and it also carried a stronger power of law. Even though he possessed the Five Elements Lightning Body, it was extremely difficult for him to resist it.

Because of Ning Fa's special circumstances, the tribulation he underwent was far more powerful than that of ordinary cultivators. It would have been difficult for other cultivators to pass through a tribulation of his level.

At that moment, a golden light flew out from his storage ring; it was Black Feather.

Black Feather's face was full of tension, and he immediately flew around.

Next, Ningfa will need to overcome his inner demons, and he must protect Ningfa.

After taking some healing pills, Ning Fa sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.

In his mind, a somewhat familiar hoarse voice rang out.

"Kid, we meet again."

I didn't expect you to have reached this point so quickly. Although it's somewhat unexpected, it doesn't matter.

"I paid a considerable price to deal with you, borrowing a treasure from another Heavenly Demon. This time, you will surely be trapped in my inner demon realm."

Within Ningfa's sea of ​​consciousness, a blurry, ghostly figure roared, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.

The phantom formed from Ning Fa's divine soul looked at it calmly and said, "You persistent ghost, today I will make sure you die here."

"Hmph, what arrogance!" The ghostly figure sneered, holding a demonic bead in its hand. A strange fluctuation emanated from the bead, enveloping Ning Fa's soul.

The next moment, Ning Fa's illusory soul disappeared in the fluctuation.

"Hahaha, let's see how you can turn the tables under this Nightmare-Swallowing Pearl!" The ghostly figure laughed wildly.

But just half an hour later, the surface of the magic bead suddenly shone with layers of moon-white light, and the magic bead also showed layers of cracks, with moon shadows rippling out from it, refracting countless moonlight.

Instantly, the ghostly figure seemed to be at the bottom of a tranquil lake, and the moonlight seemed to have an extremely strong killing power on it, with black smoke rising from its body wherever it shone.

"Ah! What kind of power is this?! Even if this Nightmare Devouring Pearl is just a projection, how can it be destroyed so easily!"

At this moment, the ghostly figure seemed to be subjected to extreme torture, screaming wildly and changing its body erratically, trying to escape the range of moonlight. However, the moonlight followed it relentlessly, and before long, most of its body dissipated.

Suddenly, the moonlight condensed into a crescent moon and gently swept towards the ghostly figure.

The ghostly figure froze, disbelief flashing in its two fiery eyes, followed by a twisted expression as it said:
"Damn it! I can't use my true power in this inferior realm, which is why you succeeded!"
But kid, just you wait, once you get to the spirit world, you won't have such good luck!
"I have already transferred your aura to my true form. When you advance further, my true form will be able to descend directly upon you. Let's see how you resist then! You just wait!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the ghostly figure vanished completely.

At this moment, Ning Fa's body was still suspended in mid-air with his eyes closed, while the surrounding world was filled with turbulent winds and clouds.

Countless colorful points of light appeared, radiating an extremely rich spiritual energy. These spiritual energy points multiplied and gathered together, forming a huge spiritual energy vortex in just a few dozen breaths.

The surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) surged towards the vortex, like a whirlpool on the sea. In a short time, this spiritual energy vortex had already reached a size of hundreds of miles. The pure spiritual energy it emitted was far superior to even the most outstanding spiritual veins in the human realm.

Finally, after reaching a certain level, the vortex of spiritual energy slowly began to rotate, engulfing Ning Fa from its center.

The sky shimmered with countless rays of light, and the chanting of Buddhist hymns echoed endlessly.

At this moment, after passing through the Heavenly Tribulation and the Tribulation of the Heart Demon, Ning Fa finally received feedback from the laws of heaven and earth, and the degree of feedback far exceeded the imagination of ordinary cultivators.

Hundreds of miles away, Black Feather transformed into a golden ray of light, flying at lightning speed while unleashing countless golden blades, quickly slaughtering the numerous sea beasts that frantically rushed towards it.

He turned his head to look at the astonishing celestial phenomenon behind him, feeling an extremely terrifying spiritual pressure rapidly rising, his eyes filled with excitement.

He knew that his master had passed the tribulation of the Nascent Soul stage and was becoming a true Nascent Soul cultivator.

It took three days and three nights for the enormous vortex of spiritual energy to finally dissipate.

This was also thanks to the fact that Ningfa's tribulation site was located at the junction of the Five Spirit Sea and the Thunder Sea, a desolate sea area with few human footprints and only numerous sea beasts. Therefore, despite the grand scale, it did not attract other cultivators.

Black Feather had slaughtered countless sea beasts, and peace was finally restored to this place.

Hei Yu gazed at Ning Fa's tribulation site from afar, his face full of anticipation.

Ningfa, who had been sitting cross-legged in mid-air, opened his eyes, and lightning flashed like daylight, tearing through the sky.

He raised his hands, feeling the unprecedented power he was in, a complex look appearing in his eyes, and murmured, "After three hundred and sixty years of hard cultivation, I have finally attained the Nascent Soul stage!"
