Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 295 Sensation

Rumble~~~

In the sky, thick, purplish-black tribulation clouds churned and rolled, with endless, terrifying lightning flashing wildly within them.

suddenly--

The endless stream of lightning that had been flowing wildly suddenly stopped—

"boom!"

With a deafening, earth-shattering roar, a massive purple bolt of lightning, as thick as a water vat, burst through the clouds and struck Zhou Yang instantly!

In an instant, Zhou Yang was bathed in a purple lightning, with streaks of intense lightning running wildly across his body, making him look like a god of lightning!

"That feels great, that feels great, that feels so good!"

For the very first wave of heavenly lightning, Zhou Yang did not use any defensive measures; he simply relied on his physical body to withstand it!

He cultivated the Stellar Transformation technique, constantly drawing upon the power of the stars in this world to temper his physical body. After a long period of tempering, the strength of his physical body had already reached an extremely terrifying level. Even demon cultivators who were famous for their strong physical bodies would have to admit defeat in this aspect if they were at the same level.

"Sizzle~~~"

The purple lightning only lasted for a moment before quickly dissipating, leaving only a few sparks of electricity flowing slightly across Zhou Yang's body. At the same time, an extremely magical and special energy continuously merged into his body along with the hissing lightning, being rapidly absorbed by every cell and gene of his.

Zhou Yang squinted his eyes in great enjoyment. He felt his cells and genes rapidly transforming, the gene arrangement becoming increasingly complex and profound. Cells began to divide continuously, and the density of his flesh and bones increased. Zhou Yang's life level was constantly rising, and his foundation in cultivation was becoming increasingly profound and solid.

"The mysterious energy contained in the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation is indeed much stronger. The tempering effect of just the first bolt of heavenly lightning is much stronger than the combined effect of all four bolts of heavenly lightning in the Forty-Nine Heavenly Tribulation."

Zhou Yang sensed it silently, and soon a smile appeared on his face.

In his perception, his life gene level had been raised again, and by a considerable margin!

If we consider his genetic level when he first transmigrated to this world as 1, then after passing through the Four-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, his genetic level increased to about 10 times. And after experiencing the first heavenly lightning tempering of the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, it increased to about 23 or 24 times!

If this rate of improvement continues, his genetic level might break through a hundredfold after he survives the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation!

It should be noted that in the Devouring Universe, Luo Feng's Golden Horned Beast clone, known as one of the twelve peak bloodlines of the Starry Sky Beasts, only reached a life gene level of 10 times.

Moreover, apart from naturally special life forms, the upper limit of the genetic level improvement for the vast majority of life forms before breaking through to the level of the universe master is a hundred times!

However, in this world, as long as one survives the Four-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, one's genetic level will be comparable to that of the Golden Horned Beast.

If one can survive the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, it is even possible to reach the limit of a hundred times the gene level, which really surprised Zhou Yang!

"The 'Heavenly Dao' of this world is even more obscure and profound. This Heavenly Tribulation seems to be a manifestation of some kind of unseen rule. Besides the power of heavenly lightning on the surface, there seems to be some kind of... some kind of life force?"

"Yes, life, the power of the laws of life!"

At that moment, Zhou Yang seemed to have vaguely grasped something.

Before his reincarnation, he studied the "Chronicle of Life" for over millions of years, and if the time acceleration of the new universe is taken into account, it exceeded tens of billions of years.

Through years of research, he had developed a vague sense of the supreme rules governing life, and now, he had actually captured a very similar meaning in this heavenly thunder!

"There was a faint trace of the laws of life hidden within the heavenly tribulation."

Zhou Yang's gaze became somewhat eager.

Having devoured the universe, his physical body had already reached a level close to the limit of a Void True God in terms of understanding the laws. As long as he wished, he could break through to True God at any time, or even directly break through to Void True God. At that time, with the realm of Void True God, he could easily pass through the reincarnation channel and go to the more vast and powerful Origin Continent.

However, to his dismay, his improvement in divine power had hit a bottleneck.

Although he had the 'Life Chart' as a reference, the more he progressed, the more difficult it became to comprehend the Life Chart. He also lacked a talent-based secret technique like Luo Feng's 'creation' to assist him, so his improvement speed lagged far behind his expectations.

More than five million years have passed, and he has only barely raised his divine power level to several times the original level. Not to mention perfect divine power, he is still far from the level of 'infinite divine power' which is more than 9 times the original level.

"Although the fluctuations of the laws in this world are profound and obscure, during the tribulation, one can closely sense a trace of the mystery of the Great Dao Law, similar to the 'Law of Life,' which is truly a rare opportunity. Moreover, since this is the case during the Heavenly Tribulation, are there other special regions or special treasures that can assist in achieving this?"

Zhou Yang's eyes gradually brightened. Since arriving in this world, this was the first time he had a slight clue about exploring the mysteries of this world.

"After surviving the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, I should be able to quickly raise my cultivation to the Void Realm, or even the Tribulation Transcending Realm. I should then have some ability to protect myself in this world. At that time, I can travel around to different parts of this world and maybe make some special discoveries!"

Although it sounds slow, it was actually just a matter of Zhou Yang's thoughts flashing by, and it was over in a short while.

After all, he is currently undergoing the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, and he dares not be careless in the slightest.

"boom!"

Just then, the second wave of lightning struck.

This time, Zhou Yang once again simply used his body to withstand the attack.

The intense purple lightning engulfed his entire body in the blink of an eye. Strands of electric snakes, like tiny needles, stimulated every part of his body, causing his pores to involuntarily contract. The current penetrated through his muscles, directly permeating every part of his body, subjecting his tendons, muscles, and even individual cells to an unimaginable tempering.

"Indeed, it possesses a hint of the laws of life!"

This time, Zhou Yang was absolutely certain. He had faintly sensed a sliver of life brewing beneath the raging thunder filled with endless destructive power!

This feeling is even clearer than the insights gained through the life chart.

"An opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Zhou Yang immediately tried his best to mobilize all his consciousness to try to touch and feel that trace of the most primal life force.

Unfortunately, the lightning strike lasted for far too short a time; after only a moment, the somewhat visible, blurry fluctuations disappeared once more.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

One bolt of lightning after another descended, each more violent than the last. By the fourth bolt, Zhou Yang could no longer withstand it with his physical body alone, and instead summoned the top-grade spiritual weapon flying sword that he had obtained from the old servant Qi Ying.

With this top-grade spiritual artifact in hand, passing through the fourth and fifth heavenly lightning strikes became noticeably easier.

After successfully withstanding each bolt of heavenly lightning, Zhou Yang would seize that brief moment to try and sense and comprehend the subtle fluctuations of the laws of life. After all, he had already gained some understanding of the laws of life, and now, even though the time he had to experience that most primal life force up close was extremely limited, it still touched him a little.

In this state of focused comprehension, the first five tribulations were passed safely.

Soon, the sixth and most terrifying tribulation lightning of the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulations will descend.
