In an instant, the halo made of True Essence shattered.James catalyzed True Essence once more to form a protective barrier.Though the lightning tribulation was already over, the power it generated continued to strike James' physical body repeatedly.James endured.At the same time, he catalyzed Demonic Energy inside his body and swiftly rejuvenated his body. Not only that, but he also catalyzed the Novenary Golden Body Siddhi and absorb the residual power of the lightning tribulation to refine his physical body.Even though James' injuries were grave, and his body was in a wretched state, he held on. After stabilizing his injuries, he breathed a sigh of relief. The most terrifying attack was over, and only the residual power of the lightning tribulation remained inside his body, striking him repeatedly. Fortunately, he was able to resist the power for now. Now, he concentrated on refining his body wholeheartedly.In a faraway region, many powerful figures were observing the
James summoned all the Demonic Energy in his body to heal his injuries.Since he possessed the Demonic Body, the stronger his physical body became, the more Demonic Energy would materialize from within it. Though the Demonic Energy inside his body was much more immense than before, he had been struck repeatedly by the lightning tribulation. Demonic Energy was being depleted to heal his physical body. Currently, not much Demonic Energy remained inside him. In fact, his remaining Demonic Energy would not be sufficient to completely rejuvenate his injuries.James took out a healing elixir Sophie had prepared for him and swallowed it whole. After consuming the healing elixir, a warm current circulated throughout his body. As the current possessed immense power, the healing effects were fascinating. Soon, his injuries were completely healed.Meanwhile, he had returned to peak form. Now, he was waiting for the third lightning tribulation to descend upon him.He did not know how long the
James thought that the Heavenly Tribulation was over. However, the lightning tribulation in the sky did not disperse. Sensing the lightning tribulation's presence, he lifted his head and looked at the sky.At that moment, the lightning tribulation mutated. What was once a black lightning tribulation was now a rainbow-colored one. Mysterious lines and characters suddenly appeared in the sky, gathering to form a bizarre-looking painting. James was confused."What's going on, Sophie? Didn't you say that there are only nine Heavenly Tribulations? I've already withstood all nine of them. So why did the lightning tribulation not disappear but mutate instead?"Sophie's expression was grim.She could only sense that James' Heavenly Tribulation was unique and would not end that easily. However, she could not divine what changes his Heavenly Tribulation would undergo."I don't know, James. Maybe this is where the terrifying part begins. I won't be able to help you out from here onward. Be
An illusory painting appeared in the sky. Suspended in mid-air, the painting was formed by the mysterious linear characters. Like a fantasy world, mountains and rivers could be seen in the painting.Immense power materialized from within the mysterious world and forcibly pulled James in, who was unable to resist the force. As he entered the illusory world, he could feel strong friction against his body. Even though his physical body was formidable, he still felt uncomfortable, and he could sense his skin being scraped off. Then, an ancient power shredded through the air in his direction, impacting his physical body and soul.He could feel his head spinning.This lasted for ten seconds.Ten seconds later, he completely entered an unknown world. As he arrived in a mountain range, he scanned his surroundings and murmured, "Where am I?"Before him were towering trees and dense foliage. The sky was greyish, and there was only silence all around him.After murmuring to himself, James l
“There were many Ancestral Gods in the Primeval Age. However, in the Ancient Heavenly Court Age and the Primordial Age, no living being was able to reach the Ancestral God Rank. According to the records of the ancient texts, it was nigh impossible to reach the Ancestral God Rank. One would first need to experience a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation. If I'm not mistaken, what James is experiencing at the moment is the terrifying Ancestral God Tribulation of the Primeval Age."Walganus had seen records of the Ancestral God Tribulation in the ancient texts collected by his sect. These ancient texts were not passed down from the Primeval Age. They only came into being thanks to the efforts of several powerful figures of the sect who recorded them after much extrapolation. What James was experiencing was identical to the Ancestral God Tribulation.Winnie looked at him and asked, "What is the Ancestral God Tribulation?"Walganus pointed at the illusory world in the sky and said, "This worl
James' eyes bulged as he stared at the countless shadows that appeared out of thin air. From the shadows, he could sense a familiar aura."H-Heavenly Path Embodiments?"James roared in disbelief.Indeed, these were Heavenly Path Embodiments.Upon seeing the countless Heavenly Path Embodiments before him, James' face paled, and his expression was full of disbelief and horror. Then, his body shivered as his knees went limp. For the very first time, he had no desire for a battle."Good heavens…"James was at a loss for words.He knew very clearly what these Heavenly Path Embodiments were. Once, one of them appeared after he achieved many breakthroughs consecutively. James only managed to defeat it after summoning his full strength, which completely depleted his energy in the process. Now, at this moment, there was not just a single one of them. Based on conservative estimates, there must have been at least a million of them. Horror overwhelmed James, and fear completely sapped
A second lightning tribulation descended from the sky. At the same time, a horde of Heavenly Path Embodiments charged toward him from a distance away. In military formation, they rushed toward him at great speed while exuding a commanding aura.James could sense that these Heavenly Path Embodiments were at the Mage Rank's Third Stage. Although their rank was low, they were Heavenly Path Embodiments that had reached the pinnacle of their rank and were not mere cultivators. Heavenly Path Embodiments at such a rank would be able to annihilate cultivators at the Sage Rank with absolute ease.Upon seeing the endless hordes of Heavenly Path Embodiments, James took a deep breath."Die!" he roared.Containing immense power, his roar reverberated throughout the region, and shapeless sound waves shredded through the air, disintegrating the mountains in his surroundings. As he roared, all his pores opened up at that moment, and Sword Energy materialized from them. Then, they gathered to for
At Sangria’s border…Everyone who was watching the event unfolding before their eyes witnessed James being pulled into a mysterious world and engaged in a fierce battle against countless shadows. However, at that moment, the illusory world created out of the Laws of Heaven gradually became more illusory. Soon, the world vanished without a trace."Where did James go?""Why's that thing gone?"Everyone was puzzled.Winnie and Delainey unconsciously glanced at Walganus, who furrowed his eyebrows and shrugged, saying, "Don't look at me. I don't know what's going on either."At the same time, in the Tribulation World…James charged toward the horde of Heavenly Path Embodiments. With the protection of True Elemental Essence, they were unable to deal any damage to him for now. Since he had an invincible Yogacara and Sword Energy that materialized from it, he kept knocking back the Heavenly Path Embodiments.However, the Heavenly Path Embodiments were not living beings and were not cap
