Compared to the first Heavenly Thunder, the second Heavenly Thunder didn’t harm Li Shiming’s body, but the backlash to his spirit was imnse.
Even with top-grade Third-Grade Spirit Pills to recover his spirit, it was rely a drop in the bucket.
The most troubling for him was losing one hundred eighty-six Flowing Light Star teors, leaving only five remaining.
Judging by the power of the first two Heavenly Thunder strikes, the third will be even stronger.
But he has few thods left, and whether he can overco the tribulation is uncertain.
"Hopefully, the power of science still has so use!" he muttered under his breath.
With a flick of his hand, a bizarre tal spherical cage enveloped him, made from various Third Grade tal composites.
This was the result of his years of research to combat Heavenly Thunder, considering the principles of electromagnetic shielding.
The tal sphere was his creation; the Third Grade tal composite was the best tal for resisting electricity and high temperatures, obtained after countless experints.
Besides, the electromagnetic shielding cage he made, he also placed several lightning rods around him.
He was wearing a shielding suit made from drawn Third Grade tal composite, which was his last protection.
"Co on!" He looked up at the sky, madness flashing in his eyes as he shouted.
In the thunderclouds, five Heavenly Thunder bolts, larger than before, rged into one, causing the debris and stones across the mountain top to float as if weightless.
The world seed to quiet, awaiting the strongest strike.
The Heavenly Thunder descended, the lightning rods had limited effect, drawing only a small portion of the thunder into them and channeling it underground.
The Heavenly Thunder struck the tal sphere, spreading instantly across every part of the sphere, but under the terrifying power, the Third Grade tal composite that could withstand high temperatures began to lt after rely one breath.
With the destruction of the tal sphere, the electromagnetic shielding effect was lost, and the partially diminished Heavenly Thunder struck Li Shiming.
His shielding suit didn’t withstand even half a breath and was similarly ruined.
By now, the power of the Heavenly Thunder was weakened sowhat, but still incredibly strong.
Li Shiming shouted, fully activating the Taiqing Xuan Turtle Technique. With the runes of the Taiqing Xuan Turtle Technique cultivation thod in the five Nascent Souls within him, the power of this Body Refining Technique was unleashed to the utmost.
Behind him appeared five shadowy Xuan Turtles, and his body, equipped with five Taiching Xuan Turtle Shells.
These Taiching Xuan Turtle Shells were quite unsightly, but their defensive power was top-notch.
In his hands, the Third Grade Sword Base augnted with Heavenly Thunder Sword Intent was held high, striking heavily at the Heavenly Thunder.
The Heavenly Thunder collided with the Third Grade Sword Base; the Heavenly Thunder Sword Intent failed to exert any effect, swallowed by the overwhelming force of the Heavenly Thunder in an instant.
The material of the Third Grade Sword Base lasted just over a breath before it started to collapse.
Though specially made, he did not fear its disappearance; after collapsing, it transford into an energy form and returned to his body, to be restored after so nurturing.
Though the Third Grade Sword Base was destroyed and the Heavenly Thunder Sword Intent swallowed, a phantom blade shape still remained in Li Shiming’s hand, not completely gone.
The Heavenly Thunder struck his body, layer by layer of Taiching Xuan Turtle Shells broke; the five layers of shells only delayed the powerful defense for three breaths.
When the thunder reached his actual body, ’Yuqing Thunder Scripture’ runes covered his skin, granting him the strongest lightning resistance through the Yuqing Thunder Scripture.
The outer layer of the Taiqing Xuan Turtle Technique had broken, but the Body Refining Techniques’ defenses and the cultivator’s body remained.
Li Shiming’s skin was instantly carbonized, but his consciousness stayed extrely clear, maintaining the upward striking gesture, still trying to resist the thunder.
In the chamber, Venerable Huijing directed the remaining life force within the Fourth Grade Pearl into Li Shiming’s body outside, using the Life Extending Secret thod.
Due to the chamber’s unique properties, it wasn’t seen by the Heaven and Earth Rules as interference from another cultivator in the tribulation process.
Gaining the life force supplentation slowed the progress of his carbonized body against the thunder.
Whether an hour had passed or just a breath, he could hardly discern ti, only knowing the thunder on his body had disappeared.
The Heavenly Tribulation is ti-limited; if endured long enough, the thunder naturally vanishes.
Typically, this is not the case; the destructive attack of thunder has a very short duration. Either one withstands it or falls from path extinction.
Few cultivators experience the end of the tribulation, where the Heavenly Thunder sustains until its ti limit.
Mainly because Li Shiming employed technology and intensive thods, the electromagnetic shielding and his suit delayed the timing of the thunder, especially the tal spherical cage that slowed the thunder’s attack speed from impact to dispersion.
As the thunderclouds dispersed, he felt an odd energy arise within him, the reward from the heavens for a cultivator who overcos the Heavenly Thunder tribulation.
This strange energy repaired his severely damaged body, transforming it in the process, while his spirit recovered and enhanced rapidly under the influence of the energy.
