Chapter 693: Chapter 507: Confident Reliance, Shengongsi Arrives
"Boom——!"
The sky suddenly exploded, several dark purple celestial thunderstorms as thick as water barrels poured down like enraged dragons, directly striking at the center of the Ice Valley on Huo Yuan Sheng.
His robe instantly turned to ashes, his body wrapped in faint purple lightning patterns, every inch of skin enduring the gnawing of electricity, teeth clenched until they bled, yet his back remained straight, steadfastly withstanding round after round of devastating bombardment.
Zhuge Yu and Taishi Feng watched Huo Yuan Sheng nervously, while Qin Tian was quietly sensing the thunder tribulation gathering in the sky.
"As expected, there’s some difference."
Qin Tian’s eyes fluctuated. Compared with Taishi Feng’s celestial thunder tribulation, Huo Yuan Sheng’s tribulation intensity was slightly lower. Ordinary Spiritualists would certainly not feel it, but any subtle difference in the thunder couldn’t escape his perception.
This indicates that celestial thunder tribulations and even the following body burning tribulation and heart demon tribulation all have individual differences. The stronger the individual’s strength, the greater the intensity of the Celestial Human Three Tribulations.
But after witnessing Taishi Feng’s tribulation, his originally worried heart suddenly became much more certain.
It seemed he didn’t need to prepare much to confidently pass the Celestial Human Three Tribulations.
It’s not because he’s arrogant.
He knows very well that his Celestial Human Three Tribulations will be far more intense than Taishi Feng’s and Huo Yuan Sheng’s, and even any genius from the Holy Blood Clan can’t match him.
After all, he now possesses four major Holy Blood talents, and his gold and silver talents number in the dozens.
Yet, even so, he’s confident in overcoming the Celestial Human Three Tribulations.
First, the celestial thunder tribulation poses no threat to him. He has the [Thunder Ancestor] talent, directly immune to lightning damage. Although the celestial thunder isn’t just simple lightning, but contains other attribute damage brought by certain lightning laws, under the immunity to lightning damage, that damage amounts to nothing to him.
Secondly is the body burning tribulation; compared to the celestial thunder tribulation and heart demon tribulation, this tribulation is relatively more dangerous after all it’s the dual burning of flesh and soul.
However, his accumulation in the aspects of flesh and soul is also exceptionally profound.
[Thunder Ancestor] talent raises all elemental resistances by 200%.
[Immortal Sacred Body] forcibly reduces all physical, magical, and soul damage by 60%.
[Soul Devouring Fire] can devour all flame-shaped energy it contacts, whether spiritual fire, alien fire, or demon flame, forcibly absorbing it and enhancing his fire intensity. During devouring, the flames automatically strip off impurities, retaining only the purest fire element, which infiltrates the user’s body to temper it with fire.
Soul Devouring Fire can absorb all flame energy; of course, if the intensity exceeds the limits of Soul Devouring Fire and the body, that’s another matter. But with these three major talents combined, it’s enough to easily bear the physical aspect of the body burning tribulation’s damage.
As for the soul aspect, he has [Spiritual Wisdom Divine Authority], reducing the effects of soul control and damage skills by 90%, plus his Soul Power comparable to a mage of the same level, the body burning tribulation’s threat to his soul isn’t much.
He can even actively absorb the forces within the thunder and body burning tribulations, maximizing the tempering of his flesh and soul.
Finally, with the Ice Heart Lotus Seed present, he’s equally unconcerned by the heart demon tribulation.
"Seems like the victory is already assured."
Qin Tian’s mouth just curled up, but he soon retracted it.
One shouldn’t easily set a flag.
Stay humble, stay humble.
Rumble
As the final celestial thunder fell with a roar, Huo Yuan Sheng’s entire body shook, struck until he was charred black like a piece of charcoal freshly retrieved from a fire.
Yet within his aura, a vigorous vitality gradually emerged—that was the vigor of rebirth after tribulation, akin to frozen soil awakened by thunder in spring, tender sprouts quietly breaking through the scorched shell.
"Crackling" sounds continuously echoed, his surface’s charred hard shell falling off inch by inch, revealing the new skin beneath, fair and exuding a jade-like luster; his hair didn’t remain idle either, growing rapidly like bamboo shoots after the rain, hanging down to his shoulders within a few breaths, lending him an even more elegant demeanor than before—of course, this is assuming one ignores his currently naked body.
"Old Huo, you’ve passed the first stage! Keep steady for the following ones!" Taishi Feng shouted loudly from the side, his bronze face full of excitement as he raised a hand to pat the ice wall beside him, causing ice fragments to fall.
Huo Yuan Sheng turned his head and gestured to him, then moved his fingertips, pulling out an Ice Purity Pill from his storage ring and securely catching it to tuck under his tongue—that’s the key to dealing with the body burning tribulation, needing to immediately activate the medicine at any moment.
As soon as the words fell, the body burning tribulation arrived.
Blood-red tribulation fire rose around Huo Yuan Sheng without warning; fortunately, he’d been stripped of clothes by the thunder, avoiding the embarrassment of being burned naked again.
The tribulation fire silently licked at his skin and flesh, carbonizing and peeling off before his eyes, quickly exposing cold white bones, even more perilous than when Taishi Feng faced this tribulation—for in terms of physical robustness, he indeed falls short of Taishi Feng.
Yet Huo Yuan Sheng’s gaze remained clear and as the fire grew fiercer, the fighting spirit in his eyes blazed even brighter.
This is the bloodline heritage of the Champion Marquis family—the more desperate the situation, the more the pride and perseverance in the bloodline erupts, spawning power far exceeding ordinary times.
After an unknown amount of time passed, the blood-red tribulation fire finally faded away. Huo Yuan Sheng’s wounds healed at an astonishing rate, fresh flesh covering the bones, and his whole body suddenly erupted with a fierce Tier Seven aura, like a newly unsheathed sharp sword, its edge capable of shattering every obstacle in front.
