Jiang Changsheng could no longer care about the shock of the people in the city. Just as he had guessed, the might of the heavenly tribulation this time was far greater than before.
The violent lightning bolts came one after another with great momentum, stirring up the sea of clouds for thousands of miles. The terrifying roar could be heard by everyone in the Si Province, and countless people who were still sleeping were woken up.
Jiang Changsheng circulated his Dao Technique and a faint golden light formed around his body to offset the continuous bombardment of lightning.
He could still hold on for a while longer.
According to his experience, the heavenly lightning would turn from weak to strong and then weak. As long as he offset it with incense points in the middle parts, the heavenly tribulation would be stable.
On the eaves, the Sword God’s face was covered with fear and his body was trembling.
As a Grotto-heaven realm expert, he had the deepest impression. He could feel that he could not withstand such heavenly lightning.
The lightning continued to rise, and even the citizens in the city could feel it. The originally noisy capital fell into silence.
The yellow-robed swordsman muttered to himself, “Are you kidding me? How could someone undergo such a lightning tribulation?”
The swordsman beside him also had a look of fear and shock on his face.
They had been practicing martial arts for many years, but this was the first time they had seen such a scene that they could not understand.
At that moment, those from various forces and dynasties were frightened and felt despair.
With such a powerful Dao Ancestor present, who could overthrow Great Jing?
Time passed by quickly.
Jiang Changsheng relied on his spiritual energy to withstand the lightning strikes. The Great Feathered Robe was not damaged in the slightest, instead it was still in pristine condition. The wind was still howling, as if it was celebrating the heavenly lightning.
After the time for an incense stick to burn, the power of the heavenly tribulation rose to a higher level.
Jiang Changsheng had a bad premonition and immediately activated his incense points to protect himself.
The incense points appeared in front of him. Every time a bolt of lightning struck, his incense points would decrease.
That was a little fast!
Jiang Changsheng nervously thought.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The purple lightning suddenly came down and the roar rose to a new height, shocking the people in the capital to cover their ears and look at the sky in horror.
The purple lightning that filled the sky intertwined at a single point. Even though they were far away, it was still a shocking sight.
After dozens of years, this was the first time most of the people in the city had seen the Dao Ancestor transcending the tribulation. This was also the first time they had seen the lightning tribulation, which broke their understanding, especially ror martial artists.
In the eyes of the martial artists, the Dao Ancestor was only a martial artist with extremely powerful martial arts techniques. Many suspected that his legends were all exaggerated. However, after seeing him today, they realized that the Dao Ancestor was very likely an immortal.
Many aged citizens ran home and began to burn incense to the statue of the Dao Ancestor. They prayed for the Dao Ancestor’s safety and for the prosperity of Great Jing.
Jiang Changsheng could clearly sense that the decrease in incense value was slowing down, but it did not affect him much.
The heavenly lightning was indeed terrifying. Even through the barrier of incense, he was still frightened.
Ordinary Three Grotto-heaven realm experts would never be able to withstand a single bolt of lightning at this stage. Whoever came would die. Furthermore, they would turn into ashes and their souls would dissipate.
The incense points had fallen below 20 million!
Jiang Changsheng waited nervously, but he did not stop. He took out a bottle of medicinal pills from his Giant Spirit Ring and poured it into his mouth to recover his spiritual energy.
19 million!
18 million!
15 million!
The might of the heavenly tribulation had reached an unprecedented peak. Hundreds of purple lightning bolts bombarded Jiang Changsheng, causing the rate of decrease in incense points to suddenly increase.
Jiang Changsheng tried his best to maintain his calm and continuously consumed medicinal pills to refine them into his spiritual energy.
An hour later.
Jiang Changsheng only had two million incense points left, and the heavenly tribulation was still ongoing. Fortunately, the heavenly tribulation had stabilized. Even though it was still terrifying, it did not increase in might.
Countless bolts of purple lightning interweaved from all directions and were isolated by the barrier of incense around him. The barrier of incense was now even faintly discernible.
Jiang Changsheng waited patiently and tried his best to remain calm.
When the purple lightning began to weaken, there were less than 100 ,ooo incense points left.
Just in time!
Jiang Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately canceled the protection of the incense barrier and prepared to resist with his own strength.
His eyes narrowed, and the Nine Words of Truth appeared around him. It hovered at high speed, forming a golden circle that spun in an irregular manner.
Even though the purple lightning had weakened, the number of lightning bolts did not decrease.
Right at this moment!
A dark red lightning bolt suddenly struck down and shattered the Nine Words of Truth. Jiang Changsheng was caught off guard and felt a sharp pain all over his body. Even his soul hurt.
However, not only did the lightning not scare Jiang Changsheng, but it instead aroused his anger.
He had already come this far, so he could not fall just like that!
The Dao pattern between Jiang Changsheng’s brows surfaced and golden light flickered, similar to a golden eye slowly opening.
Eye of the Great Dao!
When the second dark red lightning struck, the Eye of the Great Dao suddenly burst out with golden light. This was the first time Jiang Changsheng had used the Eye of the Great Dao in a battle, and this was also a Divine Power!
In the past, he had never met an opponent that could fight him on an equal level. But today, he would fight against the heavens!
The golden light of the Eye of the Great Dao was incomparably dazzling and vast. Even the citizens and martial artists in the city could see it. It was as if a golden pillar of light had risen, wanting to break through the sky.
Boom!
The golden light beam collided with the red lightning, producing a visible impact that swept across the land and caused the sea of clouds to surge.
Jiang Changsheng’s expression was ice-cold and his eyes were filled with determination. The golden light of the Eye of the Great Dao between his brows surged and pressed down on the red lightning as he rushed up.
“I can’t die here!”
With this obsession, the golden light of the Eye of the Great Dao exploded again. With an extremely domineering momentum, it dispersed the red lightning and the thunderclouds in the sky.
A huge hole was pierced through the thundercloud vortex, and sunlight sprinkled down on Jiang Changsheng.
He panted heavily and looked exhausted. That attack had consumed the rest of his spiritual energy, but the effect was indeed powerful. The Eye of the Great Dao was definitely the strongest Divine Power he had mastered in terms of attack power. Only the Sun Shooting Divine Bow could compare to it.
However, he did not have the time to be happy because the heavenly tribulation had yet to disperse.
Even though the sea of clouds was pierced through, it did not completely dissipate. The thunderclouds continued to release lightning to bombard Jiang Changsheng.
Fortunately, the remaining heavenly lightning was not that powerful. Even if it still brought him pain, he could withstand it.
After a while, the terrifying dark red lightning no longer appeared. Even the
purple lightning had disappeared. liang Changsheng could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
“This tribulation is too dangerous. I can’t relax in the future. I must try my best to store as many incense points as possible…’
Jiang Changsheng thought to himself. The effect of the Great Feathered Robe had been activated, but it was not great. The dark red lightning almost turned this magical treasure into ashes.
Minutes and seconds passed.
Strands of sunlight descended from the sky and expelled the darkness of the world.
This scene made everyone realize that the Dao Ancestor’s lightning tribulation was about to end.
Emperor Shuntian breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression became complicated.
He noticed something. The Dao Ancestor did not use luck, and after the Dao
Ancestor successfully broke through, he did not increase the luck of Great Jing.
This meant that the Dao Ancestor did not belong to Great Jing. Both sides existed independently.
This made Emperor Shuntian a little flustered. The Dao Ancestor was unwilling to merge with Great Jing’s luck. Didn’t that mean that Great Jing was not that important in Dao Ancestor’s heart? Would the Dao Ancestor leave one day?
Emperor Shuntian felt a strong sense of crisis.
NO!
He had to make Great Jing stronger quickly. He could not just rely on the Dao Ancestor!
Emperor Shuntian looked up at the high and mighty Jiang Changsheng with determination.
The heavenly might gradually dissipated.
Another hour passed.
[In the 9th year of the Shuntian Era, your cultivation has increased greatly and you have comprehended the eighth level of the Dao Technique. You have successfully transcended the True Martial Third-Class Heavenly Tribulation and obtained the survival reward—Divine Power, Heavenly Elephant Dharma.]
[Detected that you have received incense. As your cultivation method does not belong to the Dao of Heaven and Earth, you have two choices and can only choose one.]
[1: Give up on cultivation and your spiritual energy will transform into a realm of martial arts in this world—Martial King Realm.]
[2: Continue to cultivate. Immortals are above all living beings and are respected by all. The path of cultivation is to pursue the path of the Heavenly
Dao. You can activate the incense request function.]
Jiang Changsheng looked at the notification and revealed a smile.
He had finally survived!
He silently chose the second option and continued to cultivate.
[Activating the incense request function.]
[Incense Request: You can sense the believers who provide you with incense points, sense their hearts, and visit them in their dreams.]
He was not surprised. After all, the survival system was a game template he had created in his previous life, and the incense request function was also created by him.
This function seemed to be of little value, but it could accumulate a huge intelligence network for Immortal Cultivators. Moreover, once he helped the believers fulfill their wishes, it would definitely make them even more fanatical. From then on, they would continue to promote him and bring him more believers and incense points.
Even though the incense points could not directly help Jiang Changsheng become stronger, it was extremely important to help him transcend his tribulation.
After this tribulation, he had to think of a way to obtain more incense points!
Jiang Changsheng thought silently. At the same time, his physical body began to produce boundless spiritual energy. A golden object similar to a fruit was condensing in his dantian. Somehow, he understood the origin of this object.
Dao Fruit!
It was the symbol of the eighth level of the Dao Technique. After creating a Dao Fruit, his spiritual energy would increase and become stronger.
He silently sensed the power of the Dao Fruit.
The thunderclouds in the sky had also completely dissipated, and sunlight sprinkled on him. His body flickered with a faint golden light, as if he was about to ascend and become an immortal at any time.
An hour later, his Dao fruit had successfully condensed and his spiritual force was still soaring, far exceeding before. During the process of his spiritual energy soaring, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth drilled into his body and nourished his physique and soul.
The Dao World hidden in the depths of his soul was also expanding. This was an indescribable feeling.
From the beginning to the end, no one dared to find trouble with him.
Even if someone guessed that the Dao Ancestor might be severely injured, they did not dare to ascend to the sky easily. After all, they only had one life.
In the courtyard.
Bai Qi grinned and said, “As expected, he succeeded. I even suspected that Master deliberately revealed his sanctity and did not need to transcend the tribulation.”
When the Sword God heard that, he felt that it made sense. If the Dao Ancestor really needed to transcend the tribulation, why didn’t he hide?
However, even if it was fake, the Dao Ancestor’s strength was unimaginable to be able to create such a powerful heavenly tribulation.
In particular, that golden light was unforgettable. He did not know what ultimate technique it was..
