A Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu Transmigrates into a Book, the Dao Ancestor of Rein

Chapter 170 Tribulation of Lightning, We've Met Before

The quality of the metal components determines the starting height of the invisible needle.

What Han Li provided was undoubtedly of the highest standard in this world.

He also added the essence of gold refined from infant fire.

in fact.

According to Qiong Laoguai's original idea, the best material for refining the Invisible Needle was not the Five Treasures of Magical Metals, but the essence of higher-grade Five Treasures.

Unfortunately, the finest metals were extremely rare, so they had no choice but to select better magical metals.

The reason why Yuan Guiji was willing to bet with Li Huayuan using several invisible needle talismans to bet on two pieces of iron essence was that he wanted to get two pieces of superior iron essence refined by the Three Yang Pill Fire for his only disciple.

Li Huayuan's cultivation level is not high, and his reputation in other areas is not great, but the quality of the materials used to refine magical artifacts with the Three Yang Elixir Fire of the Three Yang Body is absolutely among the best in the Core Formation stage. The invisible needles made from the magical artifacts refined by Li Huayuan are outstanding, far surpassing those made from ordinary magical artifacts.

Han Li is here.

Although the metals refined by Li Huayuan are not needed.

But there are better ones.

"rise."

Driven by twice the magical power of cultivators of the same level, and with his divine sense attached to each flying needle, he controlled twenty-seven needles with ease in one go.

With his powerful divine sense as a backup, even though it was his first time controlling so many magical treasures at the same time, he was still able to use them as if they were his own limbs.

This might not be possible for an ordinary Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

Or rather, it's not that easy to do.

"Let's try going to find high-level monsters in the sea..."

His divine sense spread out.

They searched the surrounding sea area, but unfortunately, they found no trace of any high-level deep-sea monsters.

He then even flew around Biling Island once.

The result was the same: nothing was gained.

"There's no one I can even practice on."

Han Li put away all the invisible needles.

This is the Wind Soul's natal magic weapon, or it can be the physical body's natal magic weapon.

It's just that right now, only when it's driven by Feng Hun's body can it unleash its full power.

Only 90% is driven by the body itself.

The reason it's not 100%, nor 70%, but 90% is precisely because of the fact that they are different bodies with the same soul.

As for why this set of invisible needle magic treasures is also the original body's natal magic treasure?

The key lies in the subsequent dispersal of infants.

As long as the nascent soul carries the main spirit back to the original body and then dissipates within the original body, the natal magic weapon will fully recognize the original body.

This is one of the main reasons why a Nascent Soul cultivator needs decades to recuperate after possessing a new body.

It's not just about restoring and improving the physical body's depleted vital energy, but also about getting the natal magic weapon to re-accept the new body.

At least so far, there has been no precedent of a Nascent Soul cultivator changing their natal magic weapon after successfully seizing another's body.

"In this outer sea, without the Rainbow Grass to lure demons, the probability of encountering high-level demon beasts is still too low."

Han Li landed on a towering mountain and gazed into the distance.

After thinking for a while, he still sighed:

"Forget it, let's go back to the Inner Star Sea."

"There are only about three years left until the Void Heaven Palace opens..."

"Although my estimated time has been almost always correct, it's better to be safe than sorry."

This is something we must be wary of.

Because if he's still in the Outer Sea when the Void Palace instance opens, that would be troublesome.

The gates of the Void Heaven Palace were only open to the public for two months.

If you miss those two months, the door will close.

The next restart will have to wait three hundred years.

He can't wait.

"Walk."

As soon as the light appeared, he headed straight for the Nine Heavens Gale Layer.

At this point, he was able to barely integrate the key points of the Invisible Escape Technique into the Wind Escape Technique inherited from the forbidden area.

After incorporating the technique of invisible escape, his speed remained unchanged and did not increase, but his concealment improved significantly, making it almost impossible to see the traces he left as he cut through the air.

Because before, he was like a gust of wind; when the wind blew by, it always stirred up some things.

For example, blowing away the clouds and fog.

For example, it can cause the oncoming sea breeze to become disordered.

In short, some traces will be left behind.

Wind Release, which can be incorporated into the Invisible Escape Technique, is like a needle. No matter what's in front of it, it's like a needle piercing through without leaving any obvious marks.

Han Li only needs to unleash his power.

The Gold-Eating Insects and other spirit insects and beasts, including Lao Liu, could no longer find him.

His escape was incredibly fast; in just over ten days, he traversed millions of miles of sea.

They were far away from Biling Island and Leikong Island.

But it was at this moment that he suddenly noticed that a black mass was gathering more and more below him.

It was a dark cloud that stretched for over a hundred miles.

Within the dark clouds, lightning flashed and thunder roared, silver snakes seemed to slither, and deafening roars echoed far and wide.

"This is... the tribulation lightning of an eighth-level demonic beast in its human form?"

He had actually witnessed a demon beast undergoing tribulation once before, from afar, in the open sea.

However, at that time, he rationally let Xiao Liu take him away, without going forward to watch the excitement, and without having any dangerous thoughts such as "kicking someone when they're down" or "trying to snag a bargain".

"Back then, I was only at the early stage of Core Formation, and the only additional Core Formation level combatants I had were Xiao Liu and Sha Hun."

The Gold-Eating Insects and the other spirit beasts couldn't even stand up straight.

"But now..."

The demonic beast undergoing tribulation below is destined to be with him.

Why did we have to meet at this particular time? It's clear that his destiny has arrived.

"My demonic beast friend, do not panic, I, Li, am here to protect you."

Han Li concealed his presence and crept up to them.

Twenty-seven invisible needles flew out silently from her sleeves.

Holding a sharp blade, murderous intention arises.

...

"Roar…"

In the sea below, a colossal whale, its body wreathed in lightning, roared at the thunderclouds hundreds of miles above.

The long, drawn-out whistling sound vibrated the air, creating visible ripples hundreds or even thousands of feet long.

It also seemed to have dispersed some of the thunderclouds overhead.
Dozens of miles beyond the transformed thundercloud.

There are also two enormous figures present.

That was another giant whale, thousands of feet long.

However, this giant whale was not wrapped in lightning; instead, it was covered in dense, fine scales.

This giant whale is not a thunder whale, but a dragon whale. Together with the Suanni clan, it is known as one of the two royal clans of the Chaotic Star Sea, with two level-ten demon kings presiding over the clan.

A level 10 demon king, with a lifespan of ten thousand years.

With both rulers alive, they can enjoy dominion over a vast sea area. If anyone angers the royal family, the two royal families can use their royal privileges to issue a "Royal Conscription Order," forcibly conscripting countless unenlightened mid-to-high-level demons from the vast sea area to fight for them.

Therefore, the existence of two kings in a royal family can ensure the stable reproduction of the clan for tens of thousands of years.

No one dares to provoke them.

Opposite this level eight dragon whale, a sea monster over two thousand feet tall surfaced half of its body, displaying intense hostility towards the two giant whales.

The Siren Clan, also known as the Azure Demon Clan, is one of the powerful demon clans in the Chaotic Star Sea, similar to the Flood Dragon Clan.

There is a level 10 demon king in the clan.

but.

There will always be some friction between large clans over resources.

The demon race is no exception.

Territorial disputes are quite brutal.

In addition, the Azure Demon Clan has always been close to the Suanni Clan, while the Flood Dragon Clan is even closer to the Dragon Whale Clan.

The Dragon Whale Clan happens to be at odds with another royal clan, the Suanni Clan.

corresponding.

The Azure Demon Clan and the Dragon Whale Clan don't get along very well, and the Azure Demon Clan, which is on good terms with the Dragon Whale Clan, also can't get along with them.

Most importantly, demon cultivators at level eight and above who have transformed into human form have already developed intelligence. Their wisdom is no less than that of humans, and they are even more cunning. In addition, they almost all have a strong sense of territory.

When the Thunder Whale underwent its tribulation, it chose not to go anywhere else, but instead specifically chose the territory of this sea monster.

They were practically riding on the siren's head and yelling at it.

"Long Da Pang, Lei Da Cu, you two shouldn't go too far. If you want to undergo tribulation, go somewhere else. My Bi Sea doesn't welcome you."

The level eight siren raised two of its many tentacles, each a thousand feet long, now covered in green mist, its hostility and threat very obvious.

"Hmph, Bi Changshou, I'll borrow your territory for a bit, enough nonsense."

The thousand-foot-long dragon whale stepped forward on the clouds, exuding power and showing no fear whatsoever. It completely disregarded the warning from the level eight sea monster.

They've clearly gotten used to being arrogant in this alien sea.

The other end.

The Thunder Whale began to be baptized by the transforming lightning.

Its powerful physique allowed it to easily withstand the first three waves.

It wasn't until the fourth lightning strike that his skin began to turn black and he started to be injured.

However, this damage is negligible for a near-level 8 Thunder Whale.

It wasn't until the fifth tribulation lightning strike that some signs of pressure began to appear.

The sixth strike caused the Thunder Whale to emit blue smoke from its entire body, its skin and flesh torn open.

It should be noted that the Thunder Whale is born with the ability to control lightning and has an extremely high affinity for it. Even so, it was still injured by lightning, and its lightning shield defense was broken by the tribulation lightning.

The lightning strikes penetrate deep into the flesh, piercing the bone marrow, causing the Thunder Whale to let out a cry that was no longer arrogant.

"Ow..."

The seventh bolt of tribulation lightning struck, and this attack was quite powerful.

Faced with this attack, the Thunder Whale gathered its thunderous power into its mouth, forming a large number of compressed thunderballs. Then it spewed them out, colliding fiercely with the seventh tribulation lightning.

Many lightning orbs were struck and exploded by the lightning, and then landed on the lightning whale.

The Thunder Whale let out another painful scream.

Much of the flesh was burned to a crisp and fell off.

Yet, he still managed to withstand this tribulation lightning.

Soon, the eighth step began to take shape.

At the same time, the thunderclouds in the sky began to dissipate. This also meant that this tribulation lightning strike was the last one the Thunder Whale would have to endure.

If you can withstand it, you will successfully transform and become a Level 8 cultivator.

If you can't withstand it, you'll turn to ashes.

"Crackling..."

A bolt of lightning, tinged with gold, struck down.

This time, Thunder Whale poured all the thunderous power within its body into the single horn on its head.

The outer shell of the unicorn fell off, revealing a newly grown horn. The fallen horn, carrying immense thunder, crashed into the eighth bolt of lightning striking the sky.

Two thunderbolts exploded in mid-air.

Over an area spanning dozens of miles, the lightning was dazzling.

After only a brief struggle, the tribulation lightning prevailed, destroying the detached horn and annihilating the upward-rushing lightning. It then struck the thunder whale with significantly reduced power, blasting it into a cacophony of screams.

Upon seeing this, the dragon whale laughed:

"Very good, Fellow Daoist Lei, your talent is indeed no less than mine. It was not in vain that I, Long, protected you here. The Thunder Whale Clan of the Chaotic Star Sea will have another one among our generation of demons."

The dragon whale outside the tribulation clouds let out a long roar.

The more lightning tribulations one experiences, the stronger one's talent.

Those who can surpass the seventh level and survive it are already considered to have considerable talent among the demon beast race.

Those who can withstand the eighth level are extremely rare, and they can usually enter the ninth level relatively easily.

Those who can withstand nine tribulations of lightning may even become level ten demon kings in the future.

Lei Jing attracted eight lightning bolts and withstood them all, demonstrating that his potential was no less than Lei Jing's.

But at that moment, the Thunder Whale let out a piercing scream:
"Ahhh... Help me!"

Um?what's the situation?
The siren and the dragon whale stared at each other, wide-eyed.

I can't see anything wrong with it at all.

Only the Thunder Whale itself knows what has been added to its body.

Those were more than twenty invisible needles carrying a strong killing intent.

It silently seeped into the body through its wound.

It came in right after the last bolt of lightning.

He was careless just now.

He was overjoyed because he had survived the tribulation of transformation.

I didn't notice.

"help me…"

Having already suffered severe injuries from the lightning tribulation, the Thunder Whale had no strength left to fight against the invisible needles wreaking havoc within its body.

Half empty.

The unseen corner.

Han Li's eyes shone brightly:

“I remember now, we’ve met before.”

Back then, in the waters off Biling Island, he was chased and bullied by this thunder whale for a long time.

At that time, we couldn't win, we really couldn't win.

just now.

"Jie Jie Jie..."
