This was a killing blow!
Zhang Bin had received Spiritual Energy to repair his body, but he hadn't recovered quickly enough. In the blink of an eye, the Thunder God's claws struck the ground.
BOOM...
Lightning flashed, dirt splattered, and the Large Tree was reduced to dust. Zhang Bin didn't even have ti to roll away.
However, when the Thunder God's claws flew up again, Zhang Bin's body was nowhere to be seen—not in its claws, nor on the ground. How had he suddenly disappeared?
Fury filled the Thunder God's eyes as it circled in the sky, its body emitting an incredibly cold killing intent. It seed to be searching for Zhang Bin, as if it could sense where he had hidden.
Zhang Bin had, of course, just used his Wall-Piercing Ability to dive deep into the earth, evading the fatal strike. However, he couldn't stay hidden below forever, as he couldn't gather Spiritual Energy there to let his body recover quickly. Moreover, he might suffocate underground.
So, he imdiately burrowed out from a spot over a hundred ters away and began to flee. The Thunder God shot toward him like a sharp arrow, resuming its attack. After a brief ga of hide-and-seek, Zhang Bin had recovered a significant amount. He turned and began to fight fiercely with the Thunder God again.
Of course, he was at a huge disadvantage. Every ti he attacked the Thunder God, he was bombarded by thunder in return. However, as he recovered, his body grew stronger, and his endurance increased.
Seeing that it still hadn't killed Zhang Bin after so long, and that he was instead getting stronger, the Thunder God beca particularly furious and savage. It let out a ferocious scream, its mouth gaping wide as it drew a frenzied breath from the sky.
WHOOSH...
A terrifying event occurred. The dark clouds above, drawn by a horrifying force, poured into the Thunder God's mouth like a great river, being devoured. The clouds flocked from all directions, surging into the Thunder God's belly. It was as if it was stirring Heaven and Earth, as if it was swallowing the sky itself.
During this process, the Thunder God's body swelled rapidly. It grew from a bird not much larger than a swan to the size of a car, and it kept expanding. It beca as big as a truck, then as large as a small house, but it still didn't stop…
The sheer power was terrifying, leaving Zhang Bin staring, dumbfounded.
However, he knew with perfect clarity that the Heavenly Tribulation was nearing its end; this was its final strike. If I can survive it, I will have passed the Heavenly Tribulation. If I can't withstand it, I'll be turned to ashes and scattered by the wind, ceasing to exist.
He suddenly flew up, rapidly circling above the forest and frantically gathering Qi. He was putting his very life on the line. He had to use this precious ti to fully recover and reach his peak state. Ideally, True Qi would form in his body, which could fill his Armor with enough energy to withstand the terrifying assault.
"WHOOSH..."
Zhang Bin's body transford into a massive vortex, wildly devouring the Spiritual Energy he gathered. The Spiritual Energy was so rich that it ca rolling in like a tidal wave, pooling together to form a vibrant green sphere.
His body frenziedly devoured and absorbed the Spiritual Energy, and his injuries recovered at a visible rate. The charred flesh flaked away as new muscle bulged forth and skin rapidly regenerated. As his body recovered, it began to generate True Qi, which Zhang Bin imdiately channeled into his Dantian. The once-parched Dantian grew moist again. The concentration of True Qi within his Dantian thickened until it began to condense into liquid.
The seed, now the size of a fist and radiantly green, exuded a rich vitality. It now lay on a small island within his Dantian Sea. It even emitted a strange power, drawing all the liquid True Qi to gather around itself. It continued to slowly absorb the liquid, and with each absorption, the seed dimd slightly as its vitality gently drew inward.
This transformation was the foundation and guarantee for surviving the Heavenly Tribulation. The tribulation had been triggered because Zhang Bin's life force was so imnse that it had disrupted the balance of Heaven and Earth. And his life force was so imnse because he had reached the Seed Condensing Realm, forming a seed whose intense vitality leaked out, upsetting that equilibrium.
Now that the Heavenly Tribulation had bombarded him, his body had been tempered, making it strong enough to bear such a terrifying life force and worthy of nurturing such a seed. Therefore, the seed continued its special changes, slowly absorbing True Qi, its vitality concealed, its sharp edge hidden. The disrupted balance of Heaven and Earth was also slowly being restored. The Heavenly Tribulation would naturally begin to fade as well.
This was the sign that the tribulation was nearing its end.
However, this was also the most dangerous mont. The Heavenly Tribulation would unleash its full might with a power that was terrifying beyond belief. Many cultivators on Xuanwu Star cannot withstand this final, terrifying onslaught. They perish completely, their bodies and Dao obliterated.
Zhang Bin naturally would not be the least bit careless. He found that although his body absorbed Spiritual Energy quickly, it still wasn't as fast as his Qi gathering. Thus, the instrunt for collecting Spirit Stones suddenly appeared in his hands. This instrunt was truly miraculous, compressing Spirit Stones based on the density of the surrounding Spiritual Energy.
The instrunt began to frenziedly devour Spiritual Energy, churning out Spirit Stones one after another. In just a few breaths, it had produced over a dozen. For Zhang Bin, each extra Spirit Stone was another guarantee for his life. Hence, he gathered Qi more madly, utterly disregarding the rapid depletion of his spiritual power. The Heavenly Tribulation for the Seed Condensing Realm didn't target the soul or spiritual power, so he had no inhibitions.
How he wished for more ti to prepare.
Alas, the Heavenly Tribulation would not grant him so much ti. The Thunder God soon swallowed all the dark clouds from the sky. It had beco as enormous as a mountain. Its color turned especially vivid, a bloody red. The previously unused Thunder Drum and Nail Hamr in its claws had also grown many tis larger.
It hovered in the sky, its two eyes emitting red beams of light that locked onto Zhang Bin. A heaven-destroying, earth-extinguishing aura erupted, surging like a relentless tide to fill the entire world. Zhang Bin felt a tangible aura of death envelop him, almost suffocating him.
He abruptly swallowed the hundred or so Spirit Stones he had just gathered. With a thought, the Xuanwu Armor appeared on his body, and he raised the Flying Sword Bloody Fang high. A formidable aura erupted from him as he prepared to contend with the Thunder God.
However, a quick comparison revealed his aura was far weaker than the Thunder God's; the difference was imnse.
The Thunder God looked down on Zhang Bin with scorn and suddenly slamd the Nail Hamr violently against the crimson Thunder Drum.
