*Boom!*
The mont the tribulation lightning touched Noah, it traveled through each part of his body before entering his dantian.
Inside the dantian, the nine threads woven by six thinner threads suspended in the air got struck by the lightning. The elents started absorbing the power of the lightning and grew in size.
Noah could see them grow at a visible rate. It was not much, but it was still noticeable. He could see the density of the liquid also growing along with it. It was not just their appearance that was changing; all six of the threads were lding into one another.
In this rope, no color showed prominence, but the positions were dominated by the Yin and Yang elentals.
Being the primal elents, Yin and Yang were more potent than the basic four elents. They could rge with any elent for another kind of variety.
*Boom!*
The tribulation did not stop for anyone and erged with another strike. Noah bore through the pain and looked at the scene in front of his eyes as he wanted to see what kind of appearance this simple thread would take once he was done with the tribulation.
The lightning was once again absorbed by his body muscles and the elentals in the dantian.
Each cell in his body pulsed with heavenly energy as it seeped deeper inside.
*Boom!*
*Rumble!*
By the ti Noah reached the fourth strike, the cracks on his body were as wide as a thumb. Even though his pills were working, they were losing their effects. The damage he was receiving was barely countered by the pills on ti.
Xin Yan sat there, looking at the bloodied appearance of her Noah. It was not her son's body anymore; to her, it was also the reason for his agony.
More than the state of her son's body, her attention was on the timing at which Noah's wounds were healing.
The longer the wounds stayed open, the higher the chance he might suffer in the next strike. She felt like the ti had purposely slowed down for her to watch him in pain longer.
She saw Elysia digging her palms with her nails and watching one strike fall after another. She could only start and stop the process of the tribulation, but she could not interrupt once it was started.
Xin Yan could only imagine how the woman was feeling, giving pain to the love of her life. She knows how painful it is to watch soone you love in pain.
'It feels sothing like this too.' She thought; the pain she was feeling was due to seeing the damage being done to Long Tian's body.
*Pop!*
In the middle of absorbing another lightning, Noah ate another two pills to keep up with the attacks.
Five strikes down and the thread was now looking more like a rope to him.
*Crackleee….!*
Purple lightning started gathering in the cloud, moving like a snake gathering power before striking. The power of the lightning had already reached the peak of the Foundation Establishnt realm. The others could only guess what realm it might reach by the ti it was the turn of the ninth one.
*Boom!*
Noah gritted his teeth and endured the pain from the sixth lightning. The pain reminded him of all the battlefields he had fought on, and not in a good way.
He tried to distract himself by the mystical changes in the nine ropes floating in front of him. Each of the nine ropes was close to completion as all the six threads binding ca together like pieces of a puzzle.
But the magic did not end there. Each rope was now starting to curve a little, bringing their ends towards each other!
All of the nine ropes—no! Calling them ropes was not correct anymore; they were more solid and firr than any rope. The elents were condensing to take a crystalline form, and Noah hoped that the transformation could make it in ti before the elents were frozen solid.
*Boom!*
After the seventh strike, the curve was now an arc, and it was clear where this step was going, which made him wonder about the next step.
*Bzzz!*
As Noah was wiping his blood from the corner of his mouth, he felt the mana circuit inside his soul realm violently shaking, causing him to frown.
He guessed that it wanted to rge itself with his dantian, but Noah could not let it happen. He did not want to fuse these veins with this borrowed body. He had to create a body of his own.
Making a layer of protection and barrier around the veins, Noah prepared himself to tackle the second-last strike of his breakthrough.
His wait was not long as the purple color in the clouds changed itself into a golden shade of yellow. The lightning started to gather at the center. The tension in the room increased as the energy behind the attack crossed the threshold of the Foundation Establishing realm!
Core Formation Realm!
The strength of the attack was now in the first level of the Core Formation realm.
Elysia's fist beca so tight that it drew so liquid from it. Xin Yan seed to have a resolute look in her eyes. Her body seed tense, as if it was ready to make a move at any ti.
*Rumble!!*
Lightning roared at Noah before descending at full speed. Before the lightning could touch Noah, several chains appeared from the ground enveloping the lightning, trying to slow it down. Noah let it appear closer to himself before he used his sword intent to strike back.
*Woosh!*
Several illusionary swords appeared out of nowhere as they charged straight up, colliding with the lightning.
*Boom!*
Despite all of his efforts, the lightning still survived the onslaught and struck Noah's body, but the good thing was that his body was able to bear the strike and grew stronger along with it.
"Didn't you say he could not use seals?" Xin Yan asked with a clueless expression on her face as she shifted her gaze between Elysia and Noah.
"He did not use a seal; he just used a small binding array and made it more powerful with his knowledge before using it. But it also seems that he is now fully healed from his injuries." Despite Elysia's words, there seed to be a hint of concern in them.
It was only natural; after all, the thunder brewing in the air was nothing like the previous one. The pure golden lightning coursing through the clouds was ready to descend at any mont.
Inside Noah's dantian,
Nine rings were almost close to formation; they were in oval shape with their ends almost close to touching each other. The gap left by the rging of the threads had completely disappeared.
In the middle of all of this, Noah, who was now floating with his eyes closed, seed to be frowning.
He opened his eyes before looking right at the clouds hovering above his head and saw a snake-like creature moving through the dark air. The dark clouds glowed with the golden light wherever the creature moved around. It did not take Noah long to guess what that creature was.
It was a golden dragon made of pure lightning that suddenly peeked out of the clouds and locked its eyes with Noah. The strength of this attack seed at the sa level as the previous one.
But to Noah, he felt sothing tingling at the back of his neck.
*Roar!*
As the dragon took a leap downward, a deafening roar echoed in the hall.
*Woosh!*
Suddenly sothing happened. Noah, who used every power in his body to prepare for the attack, suddenly found himself in a dark place devoid
of life. The attack was nowhere to be seen. Let alone the attack, he could not even see his own body.
"Looks like you are still running away~" Suddenly, a very ethereal voice ca from behind him, causing him to jerk. Despite how lodious and calming the voice sounded, it had a different effect on Noah.
He was drenched in sweat, and his face went pale. Slowly, as he turned around to see the face of the person to confirm who it was, Noah found himself staggering.
His eyes could only capture the familiar chilling smile and the leafy green hair before he found himself back in the sa room and…
"you won't be abl..."
*Boom!*
