Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 871 - 370: Tribulation Birth Ten Thousand Paths Technique

Agitation stirred within the will of the Vast Realm.

This marked the second occasion where he lost command over his own forces, and both incidents stemmed from Ning Qi!

Right now, despite his frantic efforts to summon his strength, he remained powerless to halt the Vast Realm's rules from rushing toward the tribulation thunder overhead.

The tribulation thunders had morphed into a massive magnet, utterly stripping away his dominion over his realm's power.

The sole comfort for the Vast Realm's will lay in the fact that the rules required to form the Heavenly Tribulation demanded only a modest amount.

The phantom form of the Vast Realm’s will fixed its gaze skyward, witnessing the tribulation thunder multiply and intensify; it could merely console itself thus and watch on in helpless despair.

What other choice did it have but to observe? Hadn't it attempted action already?

Overhead in the firmament, dense clouds gathered, blanketing the world in a suffocating pressure.

All eyes turned to the heart of the tribulation thunder, locking onto the shadowy figure barely discernible there.

Infused with the Vast Realm's rules, the thunder's might surged even further.

At the thundercloud's core stood Ning Qi, eyeing the Tribulation Thunder Pill before him as it greedily drew in rules, a pleased grin spreading across his face.

On this occasion, he refrained from opening a channel to the True Martial Realm for its power, since this tribulation thunder's ferocity—unlike prior ones—couldn't evade detection by the wills of both realms.

Yet, the War Realm already harbored rules from the Sea of Realms, allowing them to bolster the Sea of Realms' strength amid the Heavenly Tribulation.

Ning Qi summoned the power of rules, and in a flash, the lingering Sea of Realms rules inside the War Realm surged toward the Heavenly Tribulation.

The whole tribulation cloud gleamed with an eerie sheen, turning far more ominous, laced with shades of gray and blood-red, lending it an aura of enigma.

Suddenly, onlookers below beheld a vast, tree-like web of thunder unfurling across the sky within the tribulation cloud, radiating from Ning Qi at its center.

Rumbling!

Thunder boomed once more, its weight crushing like the simultaneous beat of a thousand war drums.

Enveloped in radiant thunderlight, Ning Qi towered like a divine deity from the heavens.

Gazing down at Sword Ancestor and his companions below, he declared in a resonant tone, "The First Tribulation!"

"The First Tribulation?"

Sword Ancestor’s lips twitched; hadn’t they just endured the tribulation thunder under Fan City’s control?

Ning Qi naturally

As his declaration echoed, sinister yet brilliant electric serpents flared within the tribulation cloud.

Resembling a colossal tree's canopy, the branching lightning tore through the murky clouds, crashing down upon Sword Ancestor and the others facing their tribulation.

Sword Ancestor and his group stared upward, faces etched with grave solemnity.

While the earlier tribulation thunder threatened total annihilation, this one felt utterly transformed.

With Ning Qi present, they gained a vital safeguard between life and death, though he wouldn't ease up and would temper them relentlessly.

For the spectators below, however, this presented an incredible chance!

Under myriad jealous stares, the celestial tribulation thunder plunged like razor-sharp blades, slamming into Sword Ancestor and the tribulation-crossers instantly.

Each bolt matched an arm's girth, densely packed with power.

One look was enough to send chills racing through the crowd, every hair rising in sheer dread.

Good heavens, was this the true Celestial Tribulation?

Fan City’s prior controlled tribulation thunder amounted to little more than a standard Harmonization crossing, merely enhanced in potency.

This arm-thick thunder brimmed with unstoppable divine prestige, its caliber clearly surpassing Fan City’s version by a whole tier.

The onlookers gaped in stunned disbelief!

They remained ignorant of Ning Qi’s own tribulation details, after all.

Ning Qi’s earlier tribulation had shrouded itself in profound secrecy, beyond outsiders’ grasp; none knew its thunder's nature.

Thus, this arm-thick display shattered their prior notions of tribulation thunder—unaware that Ning Qi’s initial strike had rivaled a barrel’s width!

The arm-thick tribulation thunder engulfed Sword Ancestor and the rest like coiling serpents.

In moments, their garments and flesh appeared flayed away by the thunder snakes.

Yet they stayed mute, clenching jaws against the onslaught.

Abruptly, astonished exclamations erupted from the ground.

For the tribulation thunder lingered after impact, refusing to dissipate.

Its embedded energy and rules persisted, draping over them like a cloak of crackling thunderlight!

Now, Sword Ancestor and companions stood as bare skeletons, immersed in the thunder, popping and sizzling akin to bones over a fire.

Naturally, no savory scent wafted from them.

Beneath the crowd’s riveted stares, the thunder garment relentlessly refined their skeletons, as if forging them into rule-infused bones.

Those braced for torment abruptly stiffened in shock.

Ning Qi’s cool voice drifted down from on high: "Why are you still standing there stunned? Hurry and absorb this tribulation thunder!"

At his words, Sword Ancestor and the others lit up with joy, promptly activating their respective cultivation techniques to devour the thunder.

Since each wielded unique cultivation techniques, their uptake rates differed sharply.

Sword Ancestor led the pack in speed, followed closely by Qi Keqing.

Sword Ancestor had poured his life into the Sword Dao, honing it with unyielding focus; absent the evil qi’s sabotage, he’d have shattered Harmonization barriers unaided ages ago.

Qi Keqing lived up to her fame as a Jade Light Immortal Sect powerhouse, ruling the Fuyao Realm for years with talent that shone extraordinarily.

Nevertheless, Ning Qi frowned from his vantage above.

Their absorption pace lagged far too much!

Consequently, his brow lit up, unleashing beams of spiritual power straight into the brows of those beneath.

The instant Ning Qi’s spiritual power entered them, all shuddered mid-air with crackling bursts, hearts pounding in profound awe.

For within that spiritual power, they grasped an immensely valuable Profound Skill right away.
