C1143 Difficult Tribulation
This bolt of lightning is not thick and its power is not as strong as the previous one. However, when it struck Du Qi's body, he didn't feel relaxed at all. This was because this lightning bolt didn't only affect his body, but also his sea of consciousness.
Although the lightning wasn't very powerful when used on his body, given Du Qi's current condition... However, it almost took half of Du Qi's life in an instant. What was even worse was that his sea of consciousness was almost destroyed. Powerful lightning energy was rolling and colliding in his sea of consciousness. It mercilessly bombarded his spiritual altar and killed his soul. It attacked his Yuan Shen and destroyed his sea of consciousness.
What Du Qi didn't expect was that the power of lightning had just appeared in his sea of consciousness. His Yuan Shen became excited and started absorbing the power of lightning with his soul. At the same time, he released waves of clear Qi that nourished his sea of consciousness, causing his sea of consciousness to become full of vitality. The places that were destroyed by the power of thunder and lightning were instantly repaired and consolidated.
At this moment, although Du Qi's physical body didn't seem to have improved much, his sea of consciousness seemed even wider after being destroyed and repaired by the lightning energy. He also became more vigorous. He understood that as long as his primordial spirit wasn't destroyed... Even if his body was destroyed by the tribulation lightning and his sea of consciousness was destroyed... Finally, he would be able to use the Longevity Vital Spirit to repair his body and sea of consciousness.
As his thoughts spun, the lightning struck him one after another. Du Qi did not have time to care about his physical body, and only focused on his sea of consciousness. However, his sea of consciousness had just been destroyed by the previous lightning and had yet to be repaired. His damaged Yuan Shen and soul had not fully recovered, and the next lightning struck again. Without giving him a chance to catch his breath, the bolts of lightning... The lightning grew stronger and denser, as if it wanted to destroy his sea of consciousness, soul, and Yuan Shen in one go.
Under the bombardment of the lightning bolts, Du Qi's sea of consciousness, soul, and Yuan Shen couldn't be repaired in time. He had already suffered severe injuries, but he had only suffered sixteen lightning bolts in this round. He didn't know how many more lightning bolts were left, but they were already in such a state. When the heavenly tribulation ended, would he be able to preserve his soul and primordial spirit? Du Qi didn't dare to imagine saving his life.
Lightning rumbled behind him one after another, and the power that shot out mercilessly struck his body. It made Fann Qiuhong and Xie Guixiang feel extremely uncomfortable, but they did not care about the injuries on their bodies. They did not dare to stop for even a moment and just ran forward as if they were running for their lives. They only felt a little better when they reached the foot of the mountain that Du Qi mentioned.
Fann Qiuhong and Xie Guixiang could not care less about exhaustion and hurriedly turned around to look at the thatched cottage where Du Qi and Looh Miaoran were. They saw that the lightning was glowing with a dazzling white light, each thicker than the last. One after another, the lightning struck down, making it impossible for them to see the situation in the thatched cottage clearly.
Suddenly, they saw Du Qi fly up and block the lightning. Fann Qiuhong did not understand why Du Qi would do such a thing. She only vaguely felt that something was not right, but Xie Guixiang intuitively thought that Du Qi did this to protect Looh Miaoran. She could not help but cheer, "Wow, Mr. Du is so powerful!"
Fann Qiuhong did not deny it and said, "He is powerful, but in the end, he cannot fight against the heavens. Is Young Master Du's action a little rash?"
Xie Guixiang did not believe it and said, "Mr. Du has always been steady and steady. He will not be rash, right?"
Seeing that her daughter trusted Du Qi so much, Fann Qiuhong was not in a position to say more. She only looked at Du Qi who was standing in the air, his clothes fluttering in the wind. It actually made her feel a sense of floating. Her heart was not only moved but also secretly praised her daughter's good fortune. But she suddenly cried out involuntarily, "Not good!"
Following her cry, a golden light exploded, and a bolt of lightning that was as thick as a bucket struck Du Qi down. Fann Qiuhong's heart also sank with Du Qi's figure. Xie Guixiang felt the same when she saw it. She screamed, "No!" As she shouted, she wanted to run towards Du Qi but a powerful force suddenly rushed over. It knocked her and Fann Qiuhong more than ten feet away, and they fell heavily onto the ground.
Not caring whether she was injured or not, Xie Guixiang crawled up and wanted to run towards Du Qi again. However, she was firmly held back by Fann Qiuhong and advised, "Silly girl, you will not be able to help Young Master Du if you go over now. It'll hurt him even more."
Xie Guixiang's heart was flustered as she cried, "Then what should we do?"
Fann Qiuhong said, "Wait!"
Xie Guixiang cried, "But I can't wait!"
Fann Qiuhong said, "Even if you can't wait, you still have to wait. Quick, let's stay further away!"
Just as they were talking, an even thicker bolt of lightning struck down. Needless to say, they knew that this lightning bolt was definitely aimed at Du Qi. Although Xie Guixiang's heart was burning with anxiety, she knew that what her mother said was reasonable. She had no choice but to follow Fann Qiuhong and run further away.
In just a short while, there were already 18 bolts of lightning, but that lightning still did not seem to have any intention of stopping. Fann Qiuhong could not help but mutter, "Is this something a person can withstand? What kind of sin did Young Master Du commit to receive such a lightning punishment?"
Xie Guixiang's heart had already become numb when she saw this. She did not know what to do. She just kept praying for Du Qi, hoping that Du Qi would be safe and sound.
Under the thirty lightning strikes of this round, Du Qi's body had been turned into meat paste. More than half of his body had been burnt by the lightning, like a cooked meat patty. He didn't look like a human at all. His sea of consciousness had also been destroyed to the point of losing its shape. His soul and Yuan Shen were severely damaged, as if they were going to collapse at any moment. His consciousness was starting to blur.
Once his soul and Yuan Shen dissipated, no matter how profound and profound the cultivation technique was, Du Qi would have no way to recover. With such a rhythm, how could it be a tribulation? He was clearly taking his life!
Du Qi did not want to die, and he was also unwilling to give up the opportunity to use the power of the heavenly tribulation to temper his body. However, he understood in his heart that the most important thing at the moment was to keep his life!
Right now, the only way for him to save his life was to use a protective divine tool. Should he use Chaostic Essence Golden Armor or Illusion Heaven Bracelet?
The Chaostic Essence Golden Armor was his natal divine artifact, and it was closely linked to his mind and state of mind. Now that he was suffering from such a severe injury, it was impossible for him to exert the effect he should have. It was hard to say whether he could withstand the power of the lightning tribulation. It seemed like he had no choice but to use the Illusion Heaven Bracelet. After all, this bracelet was made by Heavenly Worthy of the Primordial Beginning, and it was refined from the shell of a divine turtle. It was a divine weapon that was used to defend against powerful attacks, so it wouldn't be a problem to resist the power of the lightning tribulation.
After thinking about it for a while, Du Qi felt slightly relieved, but he still wasn't willing to give up. He was forced to use a defensive divine weapon like the Illusion Heaven Bracelet after enduring the heavenly tribulation in this world. When he faced the heavenly tribulation to become an immortal in Cultivation World, the heavenly tribulation he would have to endure would undoubtedly become stronger. Didn't that mean that one would have to use the Illusion Heaven Bracelet to defend themselves from the very beginning? How could one achieve the goal of undergoing heavenly tribulation and tempering one's body?
