Chapter 62

"Nine out of ten chances? You... you... this isn't a joke, right? This is the heavenly tribulation." Gu Tian was also shocked when he heard this. If it were true, then he wouldn't have to worry about this tribulation. But was it really so? Gu Tian didn't believe it at all, because it was too astonishing. After all, Huang Yu himself was only at the Human Infant Realm. Unless he had the legendary Tribulation Transcending Elixir, "Could it be that you have the Tribulation Transcending Elixir?"

"Tribulation Transcending Elixir?" Huang Yu shook his head. "Junior does not have the Tribulation Transcending Elixir. However, I cultivate a lightning attribute technique, and I can use Uncle Gu's heavenly tribulation to cultivate. So, Uncle Gu, rest assured. I will help you withstand the heavenly tribulation. However, the last wave of the tribulation, Uncle Gu will still need to face it yourself. Otherwise, even if you pass the tribulation, your own combat power will be weakened, which would be bad."

"You... you're joking, right? Your cultivation is too weak. This isn't an ordinary heavenly tribulation. If it were just a Lightning Tribulation, perhaps you could withstand it. I am already at the Yin-Yang Realm, and this is a Life-Death Realm lightning tribulation. You can't withstand it at all. Even if you cultivate a lightning attribute technique, it's impossible to withstand it. It's too overwhelming. You can't bear it. Hurry up and leave, or it will be too late." At first, Gu Tian thought Huang Yu had a good way to help him pass the tribulation, but when he heard that Huang Yu was going to face the lightning tribulation for him, he immediately disagreed. This wasn't a joke. His strength was too weak. The Life-Death Realm lightning tribulation was extremely overwhelming. A single bolt of lightning could destroy a small mountain. How could Huang Yu's weak body withstand it?

"Uncle Gu, I'm serious. I have full confidence. Otherwise, I wouldn't risk my life." Huang Yu was surprised that Gu Tian disagreed, but he still argued. If he couldn't use this lightning tribulation to cultivate, he would be at a great loss. The lightning tribulation could help his Thunder Dragon Technique advance to the Earth Rank, and the Purple Extreme Sword could also transform into an Earth Rank weapon.

"No, no matter what, it's not acceptable. Whether I can pass the lightning tribulation is my own business. I can't let you take the risk. You are a genius, destined for great achievements, surpassing me. If you fall here, it would be my fault." Gu Tian firmly disagreed. "Besides, you've already helped me a lot. I can't let you take the risk. Also, I have a request. If something happens to me, please take care of Gu Xin. Although she has high talent, she is a girl, and her mind is simple. When I was at the headquarters of the Divine Stone Pavilion, I offended many people, which is why I was exiled to Seven Waters City. Once something happens to me, my enemies will definitely target Xin. I hope you can protect her and keep her safe. If possible, I hope you can marry her. If not, you can take her as a maid. Here, take this jade pendant; it has my words to her." After saying this, Gu Tian used a force to slowly lift Huang Yu and then pushed him out.

"Damn it." Huang Yu was extremely angry. This old guy was stubborn. Although he knew it was for his own good, not wanting him to be hurt, Huang Yu still felt very frustrated. He didn't believe Huang Yu's words, and this Gu Tian was really too despicable.

"Master, don't worry, wait a moment. When he can't withstand it, we will go in. It will be the same." At this moment, Lulu spoke. "This heavenly tribulation is different. It is a Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation. With his strength, he can withstand the fourth wave of the tribulation, but the fifth and sixth waves are impossible to pass. If he withstands the first four waves, my pressure will be reduced, which is better."

Hearing Lulu's words, Huang Yu nodded. This was the only way. If he entered when Gu Tian still had the strength, he would still be thrown out.

The black tribulation clouds pressed lower and lower.

A bolt of lightning illuminated the entire sky.

Like a long sword, it split down, as if to split the entire world in two.

"Crack."

Gu Tian withstood this bolt of lightning, his body swaying, but he was unharmed.

However, Huang Yu knew this was just an appetizer. The first bolt of lightning was just a test. The following lightning tribulation would be the main event.

"Boom."

Another bolt of lightning struck down. Gu Tian clenched his fists and swung them, charging towards the sky like a cannonball, colliding with the bolt of lightning.

"Bang..."

A loud noise, and Gu Tian was struck down, standing steady, a trace of blood appearing at the corner of his mouth. This bolt of lightning had already injured him.

"Boom..."

Wave after wave of lightning tribulation, Gu Tian had withstood them all, but he was now swaying, covered in injuries, looking like he had just come out of a refugee camp.

He was no longer as impressive and graceful as he was at the Divine Stone Pavilion.

"Boom."

This was the last bolt of the fourth wave of the lightning tribulation. Could he withstand it? Huang Yu couldn't help but worry.

"Relax, Master. He will definitely withstand this bolt of lightning. However, after withstanding it, he will exhaust his true essence and mental energy, falling into a coma. That will be the time for us to act." Lulu said.

"Um." Huang Yu nodded, but he still couldn't help worrying. The terrifying lightning tribulation made Huang Yu feel nervous and fearful. If it weren't for Lulu's confidence, Huang Yu would never dare to try such a method. Helping someone withstand the heavenly tribulation had never been successful in the entire True Martial Continent. Of course, there were people who had tried to help others withstand the heavenly tribulation, but they all died, their souls and bodies destroyed in an instant. If the person's cultivation was higher than the one facing the tribulation, then the heavenly punishment would descend. However, if the person's cultivation was weaker, then the original lightning tribulation would continue.

"Crack!"

After a long preparation, the bolt of lightning finally fell.

This bolt of lightning was extremely terrifying, as large as a basin, with a shocking momentum. Even Huang Yu felt the pressure. At this moment, the original formation had been destroyed, and arcs of lightning had flattened the entire courtyard. This was just the arcs, not the main bolt of lightning.

"Boom!"

Finally, the bolt of lightning struck Gu Tian. Gu Tian gritted his teeth, his eyes wide open, and his hand transformed into a dazzling fist, merging with the lightning, striking it fiercely, as if trying to break through the tribulation cloud.

This was a last-ditch effort, a final strike. Gu Tian knew he couldn't pass this tribulation, but he wanted to die with dignity, to let out his final roar, to unleash his last strength.

"Bang..."

Although Gu Tian had fully unleashed his strength, he was already at the end of his rope. His last bit of true essence was drained. After a hard strike, he managed to block the lightning tribulation, but without the support of true essence, he fell instantly. If he fell to the ground, he would surely die.

"Act." Lulu's voice instantly sounded in Huang Yu's ear.

Huang Yu heard and took a large step, chasing the wind, transforming into a gust of wind, instantly reaching Gu Tian's side, catching him and placing him to one side.

"Boom, boom..."

In the tribulation cloud, a terrifying sound echoed, as if it was roaring. This mortal dared to challenge its authority, daring to interfere with the heavenly tribulation, truly courting death.

The moment Huang Yu caught Gu Tian, a bowl-sized bolt of lightning descended.

Although it was only the size of a bowl, Huang Yu felt the terrifying power of this bolt of lightning, with absolute destructive force, even more shocking than the previous one.

"Come on, I'm not afraid of you. Let me see what the heavenly tribulation is like!" Huang Yu shouted to the sky, gripping the Purple Extreme Sword tightly, pointing it at the tribulation cloud.

"Crack..."

The heavenly tribulation seemed to be thoroughly enraged. As soon as the first bolt of lightning descended, more bolts of lightning followed, one after another, without any pause.

The Purple Extreme Sword in Huang Yu's hand seemed to act as a lightning rod. The bolts of lightning, without deviation, struck the Purple Extreme Sword.

At that moment, Huang Yu felt a terrifying lightning force surge into his body, wreaking havoc inside, as if trying to tear him apart. Wave after wave, like the waves on the shore, layer upon layer, growing larger and stronger.

"Thunder Dragon Technique, refine, refine for me, refine wildly." Huang Yu shouted loudly, his entire body enveloped in lightning, making him invisible.

At this moment, Huang Yu felt his body become a sea of purple, the power of the heavenly tribulation.

The Thunder Dragon Technique ran wildly.

A thunder dragon was refined, moving around inside, absorbing the power of the lightning tribulation.

"Refine, refine for me."

Huang Yu knew he was about to break through. The Thunder Dragon Technique, when cultivated to the first level, could refine a thunder dragon inside the body. Huang Yu had already refined two, and now, with the addition of a new one, he had refined three thunder dragons, meaning his Thunder Dragon Technique had reached the third level.

The power of the lightning tribulation, that terrifying force, continuously poured into the Purple Extreme Sword and then into Huang Yu's body. Huang Yu's Thunder Dragon Technique had already broken through to the first level, but the lightning tribulation power he absorbed was only a small part. More of the lightning tribulation power was wreaking havoc inside his body, destroying his meridians, causing him extreme pain. If it weren't for the lightning force numbing his nerves, the pain would be even more unbearable.
