Chapter 817 - 277: Thunder Tribulation (Part 2)
The saber skill has not been completely perfected yet; it is merely a technique Lin Zheyu created, using Mu Jianli’s Sword Intent as guidance, and his comprehension of the Rule Tao Rhyme as the foundation, integrating the Martial Arts Skill he has learned.
Currently, he is only capable of executing the first strike, which is the original Heaven-Breaking Slash, an optimized and improved killing move.
The seven strikes that follow were inspired by Lin Zheyu’s comprehension of Mu Jianli’s Sword Intent and his application of Rule Tao Rhyme, leading to the creation of new saber techniques.
Once he is able to execute all seven strikes, Lin Zheyu is confident that his attack methods will reach the level of matching Golden Core powerhouses.
"Should I spend some Source Power to cultivate this saber skill to perfection first?"
Lin Zheyu pondered.
The benefits of doing so would be that it would allow him to possess a powerful attack method in a short time.
No longer like before, where despite his formidable prowess, he lacked attack methods that matched his strength, often feeling helpless against cultivators whose power was inferior to his, yet possessed various defensive and life-saving techniques.
"No, let’s not rush."
"That old man will find me at the latest within a year, better save the Source Power to maximize its value."
"Next time I enter the Demon God Barrier to compete for the opportunity of Rule Fragments, using Source Power to comprehend Rule Fragments while enhancing the Seven Extremes Blade is the most cost-effective choice."
Lin Zheyu slightly shook his head, dismissing this notion.
BOOM!
Suddenly, thunder shook the ground.
A terrifying rumble echoed from the sky, silver-white lightning suddenly striking down from above.
Lin Zheyu snapped back to reality, startled by this unexpected lightning strike.
When he looked up, he saw the lightning streaking straight towards Lei Yongtao’s forehead.
"Hahaha!"
"It’s stable now, finally here!"
Lei Yongtao suddenly opened his eyes, gazed at the lightning striking towards him, a hint of arrogance erupted in his eyes.
He gazed at the lightning disdainfully, his wild laugh echoed.
Crackle!
BOOM!
Violent thunder erupted from Lei Yongtao’s body.
Clear skies quickly gathered a large amount of dark clouds into a massive thundercloud, with thunder rumbling and lightning flashing.
Lei Yongtao laughed crazily, his right hand suddenly reaching out towards the lightning striking him.
The powerful, intangible lightning, unexpectedly like a lightning snake, was grabbed fiercely by Lei Yongtao’s hand and squeezed into a thunderball.
"Mere Thunder Tribulation, not worth fearing!"
Lei Yongtao roared wildly, suddenly soaring to the sky, charging into the thundercloud.
Staying in place to suffer the heavenly tribulations was not of Lei Yongtao’s nature; he planned to take the initiative!
"Thunder Tribulation!"
A cultivator couldn’t help exclaim at the sight of the thundercloud in the sky.
To cause a Thunder Tribulation before verifying a Golden Core, such talent is truly astonishing.
"Unexpectedly, from the lowly Lei Family came Lei Xi Yuan, who is an unparalleled talent, and also produced a top genius like Lei Yongtao."
"As long as one of them grows up, the Lei Family will soar!"
A green-robed cultivator stood up, watching Lei Yongtao enter the lightning, murmuring with envy.
"Haha, Six Heavens Tribulation, Six-Stripe Golden Elixir, nothing but that."
The man beside the cultivator sensed the terrifying lightning brewing in the thunderclouds and sneered dismissively.
Yet the serious look in his eyes revealed his focus.
"You only have the gift of the gab."
"Who knows what opportunity Lei Yongtao got, originally possessing only Five Thunder Pattern Golden Elixir aptitude, he has undergone such a huge transformation."
The green-robed cultivator spoke with some envy.
"Hmph, it’s just a Six-Stripe Golden Elixir, my goal is to go beyond seven stripes; six stripes are nothing!" said the cultivator’s friend coldly, continuing in disdain.
The green-robed cultivator shrugged, ceasing to argue over the meaningless subject with his friend.
He squinted his eyes, gazing at the thundercloud in the sky.
Lei Yongtao was alone, rushing into the lightning-filled thunderclouds; sounds of terrifying thunder booms and screams, curses could be heard echoing across the sky.
"Damn it, do you think only you can strike me? Take my axe!"
"Hiss—Ah—Ouch ouch ouch—it’s killing me, take another axe of mine!"
"..."
Lin Zheyu listened to the curses and screams from the sky, feeling a bit speechless.
Lei Yongtao, this guy, truly defies evaluation; once familiar, one would realize he completely lacks the demeanor of a cultivator.
"So this is a heavenly tribulation..."
"Haven’t verified the Golden Core yet managed to cause a heavenly tribulation, if verified, wouldn’t the tribulation be even more terrifying?"
Lin Zheyu curiously observed the heavenly tribulation in the sky while secretly imagining himself as Lei Yongtao, enduring the Thunder Tribulation.
This was his first time witnessing the power of a heavenly tribulation.
After some weighing, though powerful, Lin Zheyu is confident that with his physique, he could endure it easily.
His physique was already incredibly powerful, nearly reaching the Martial Artist’s limit.
Even though Bai Lin, regarded as a martial prodigy who unlocked the Divine Treasure, was far inferior.
Lin Zheyu cultivated various Body Refining Techniques, Martial Arts Skills, Demon Skills, in the end, no matter the technique, all merely achieve a minimal effect on his physique.
Due to lacking ample Spirit Stones and purchasing avenues for stronger Body Refining Skills, Lin Zheyu could only focus on golden runes and golden body totems.
With the support of the golden body totem, ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators couldn’t even manage to break his physical defense.
Only cultivators who have mastered the Power of Rules, possessing a hint of Golden Core’s capability, could accomplish this.
