Chapter 247 This Heavenly Dao Is Indeed Unfair!
Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus was wearing a silver Divine Metal battle armor. She had prepped herself such that she was now at her peak.
She had even consumed elixirs specially cultivated by Heavenly Venerable White Lotus.
Those elixirs were full of Spirit Qi and circulated within Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus’ body, greatly enhancing her powers.
It could even decrease the severity of injuries sustained from the lightning strikes.
It was indeed not easy at all for a human cultivator to undergo the tribulations. But compared to demons, humans did have several clear advantages.
For starters, Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus’ Heavenly Tribulation was clearly not as intense as the Divine Devouring Vine’s tribulation. In addition, she had the support of the sacred ground. Given Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus’ capabilities, her chances of successfully reaching the Saint stage were very high.
“Divine Firmament Disciple Golden Lotus wishes to undergo a tribulation to become a Saint. I hope the Heavenly Dao will have mercy on me.”
Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus faced the churning black Heavenly Tribulation clouds and bowed respectfully.
Following that, a divine metal sword appeared in her hand. It exuded an extremely potent aura.
Lightning was already gathering in intensity in the Heavenly Tribulation clouds.
The lightning bolts were streaks of green, forming a dragon shape in the air.
These lightning bolts were Wood Element Azure Dragon Divine Lightning and very beneficial to Zhang Yunting.
Boom!
The Azure Dragon Divine Lightning streaked across the sky, charging toward Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus with a roar. Its aura was powerful beyond belief as if a real azure dragon had descended from the Celestial World and was coming straight for her.
But to Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus, whose major was in the Metal Element Divine Lightning Art, it would not be difficult for her to handle the Wood Element Azure Dragon Divine Lightning. A golden 7th Stage Divine Lotus appeared in her left hand. Rays of light shone down from above her head, while silver lightning gathered in the sword in her right hand. It merged into one with the White Tiger avatar behind her.
Roar!
The tiger roared.
Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus had morphed into a white tiger, ending up in a fierce brawl with that green dragon.
The Wood Element Azure Dragon Divine Lightning was torn apart. Green lightning was dispersed in all directions, charring the surroundings over a radius of dozens of miles.
Fang Chang, Zhang Yunting, Zhang Yunxi, and Shen Tian were all at the clouds’ perimeter.
All four were at the Golden Core stage or Golden Body stage. They were the top prodigies in the Eastern Wilderness.
Even so, Fang Chang, Zhang Yunting, and Zhang Yunxi were feeling rather stressed by the barrage of the remnant Wood Element Divine Lightning. After all, the lightning was meant for a top Soul Formation cultivator who was about to ascend to the Saint stage. Even a leftover lightning bolt would possess great power. Zhang Yunting kept cultivating the Decalamity technique, using his Wood Element Lightning Spirit Constitution to absorb the scattered Azure Dragon Divine Lightning.
A Golden Core appeared between his brows.
This Golden Core used to have seven Divine Emblems, but the core’s surface was currently full of cracks.
Following that, Zhang Yunting kept absorbing more and more Wood Element Azure Dragon Divine Lightning until the surface of his Golden Core finally cracked open.
A Golden Core with eight Divine Emblems appeared. He had successfully become a Golden Core Eight Refinement Stage cultivator. Fang Chang was of the fire element. He had a Fire and Earth Dual Lightning Spirit Constitution. Wood fed Fire, and Fire produced Earth. The Wood Element Divine Lightning was also very beneficial for him.
The Wood Element Azure Dragon Divine Lightning circulated around his entire body, and his Qilin avatar dazzled like never before. His Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage core spun continuously on top of his head. It represented the most extreme level!
Nevertheless, although they were benefiting from this, both Fang Chang and Zhang Yunting looked rather unkempt. Their hair was standing on end from the electricity, and black smoke rose from their bodies. They looked rather wretched.
On the other hand, Shen Tian and Zhang Yunxi looked completely different.
Both of them had gotten the Divine Firmament Drager Pendant previously and had absorbed quite a bit of Mixed Divine Lightning power source from it.
They could very smoothly absorb all the Wood Element Divine Lightning they came into contact with.
As a result, the two of them showed no signs of electrocution despite being engulfed by lightning, especially Shen Tian. Not only was he absorbing the Wood Element Azure Dragon Divine Lightning with his Mixed Divine Lightning source, but he was also using the lightning to cultivate his physical body under Ye Qingcang’s instructions.
While sitting cross-legged, his bones, muscles, fascia layers, internal organs, and muscles were all being cultivated under the Tinder God of War Sutra.
A faint humming noise could be heard from his body, like the sound of drums and gongs, the sound of a rushing river, the muffled rumble of thunder... Countless lightning bolts were circulating upon Shen Tian’s Longyuan Divine Armor before being actively absorbed into his body.
The golden glow on his body was rapidly intensifying.
His golden wings looked like they had been revitalized. They exuded a divine glow, which was more radiant than ever before, dazzling the eyes of those disciples standing far away.
Meanwhile, as the lightning washed over him, his body was also becoming more muscular, more powerful, and could hold even more energy Shen Tian could feel that he was not far away from the Golden Body Second Refinement Stage!
“Not bad. Your constitution is indeed very suitable for the Tinder Sutra.” Ye Qingcang’s voice rang out from behind Shen Tian. “Absorb more. This kind of lightning tribulation is a heavenly gift and a great freebie. It would be a waste to not take full advantage of it.” Shen Tian was rather speechless at Ye Qingcang’s careless comment.
Nevertheless, he was right.
After taking a deep breath, the Mixed Divine Lightning power source at his brow area radiated with a suction force that was more powerful than ever. Suddenly, the green Divine Lightning surrounding Shen Tian all surged into his body.
Ah
Feels so good!
A wonderfully numbing but soothing feeling permeated Shen Tian’s entire body.
So, cultivation actually felt so good!
No wonder so many people cultivate for several hundred years. Love it!
Shen Tian was happily leveraging upon Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus’ lightning tribulation.
However, Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus herself was not having as easy a time as others thought. After all, it was no easy feat to overcome the tribulation and reach the Saint stage.
Although Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus successfully conquered the Wood Element Divine Lightning, the round had taken a heavy toll on her.
Her face was very pale. Obviously, she had made use of a secret technique earlier to kill off the Azure Dragon Lightning in the shortest time possible. “One would become completely rejuvenated after turning into a Saint. I am sure that I will become even more beautiful and alluring.”
ome C
Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus muttered to herself. “Ye Lanyu, I will definitely become more beautiful than you! I am claiming this Sainthood for sure!”
Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus stared straight at the Heavenly Tribulation cloud, waiting for the second bout of lightning.
The Heavenly Tribulation cloud did not disappoint as the second wave of lightning was soon brewing
This wave of lightning was yellow in color and formed multiple Earth Qilins.
It was clear that the second round of lightning tribulation was going to be Earth Element Qilins Divine Lightning.
Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus couldn’t help heaving a sigh of relief. After all, Earth bore Metal. She could also overcome an Earth Element Divine Lightning.
Such were the facts. When faced with the Earth Element Qilins Divine Lightning, Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus remained calm and light-footed.
Streaks of lightning were dispersed and scattered and in all directions, allowing the nearby Saint and Saintess, as well as the two disciples, to absorb over a dozen bolts.
Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus’ Heavenly Tribulation progressed systemically.
A sudden thought popped into Shen Tian’s head. This Heavenly Dao is indeed unfair.
When a certain someone underwent the Divine Devouring Vine Tribulation, the first round was the Metal Element White Tiger, completely suppressing her.
The second round was the Fire Element Crimson Phoenix, also a complete suppression. That certain someone had been soundly beaten.
But for Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus, she was of the Metal element and was given the Wood Element Azure Dragon for her first round. Metal was the perfect element to suppress Wood.
The second round was the Earth Element Qilin. Earth bore Metal, and Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus could also easily overcome it. This kind of difference in treatment was like comparing the love of a stepmother and that of a biological mother.
No wonder those powerful demons always claimed that the heavens clearly preferred the human race!
No wonder even the prodigies from the Dragon and Peacock races all wanted to sign contracts with humans!
In terms of cultivation, humans did seem to enjoy preferential treatment from the heavens.
Shen Tian couldn’t help sighing.
This unfair treatment by the Heavenly Dao is indeed... so wonderful!
Time passed by the minute. Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus overcame the Earth Element Qilins lightning tribulation.
The third round started to brew, giving rise to silver lightning streaks bearing an extremely sharp and harsh aura.
Several white tigers appeared in mid-air, formed by the lightning. Their roars shook the earth.
The third lightning tribulation was the Metal Element White Divine Lightning. It was the same element as Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus.
When faced with this third round, Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus no longer had any elemental advantage.
More importantly, she had already expended quite a bit of energy to handle the first two rounds.
For a moment there, the Divine Firmament disciples watching the tribulation... all felt rather worried for Heavenly Venerable Golden Lotus.
