Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse

With this next attack, wouldn't it nearly empty his Spiritual Energy?

This was only the third one...

He was doomed!

Was the Heavenly Tribulation too excessive?

"What!?"

The Red Robe Sage, seeing his Golden Lotus perfectly blocking the second wave of Heavenly Tribulation, couldn't help but exclaim, despite deciding not to speak anymore.

What kind of heaven-defying technique was this?

However, this method seemed to consume a great deal of Spiritual Energy; just this technique alone wouldn't be enough to see him through the Tribulation!

"This Golden Lotus... what is it?"

"How can it block the Heavenly Tribulation without a scratch?"

"Doesn't that mean he could actually survive the Heavenly Tribulation?"

Dongfang Mingyue, witnessing this, opened her mouth slightly in shock.

She didn't know how much Spiritual Energy this technique used, only feeling that if this method could block the Heavenly Tribulation, then this guy might actually have a chance at survival!

'Boom—'

While she thought so, the third wave of Tribulation Lightning did not wait for anyone.

When the third Tribulation Lightning struck, Gu Changge still relied on the Golden Lotus for protection.

However, as he felt the consumption of his Spiritual Energy, he only used the Golden Lotus to block most of the power; only twenty percent of his internal Spiritual Energy remained.

He simply dispersed the Golden Lotus!

And met it with a fierce punch!

The Tribulation Lightning shattered with his punch and transformed into its Origin upon contact with his body.

But his arm trembled uncontrollably, his fist now covered in fresh blood.

This was only the third strike, and he was already injured!

And his right arm felt so numb that it was almost uncontrollable...

"Why did he disperse the Golden Lotus?" Dongfang Mingyue grew anxious watching this.

'Boom————'

Before Gu Changge had time to adjust, the fourth wave of Tribulation Lightning was already striking down.

It seemed bent on not stopping until it had struck him dead!

This time, Gu Changge could only entrust all of his remaining Spiritual Energy to the Golden Lotus, blocking about half of its power!

As the Tribulation Lightning fell, he swung out with his left fist!

His arm, amidst the flickering arcs of lightning, saw his clothes turn to ashes.

"This is only the fourth one..."

"The Ancestor said fifty percent, but that seems to have been an overestimate."

Gu Changge smiled bitterly, now both arms trembling uncontrollably.

Little did he know, even the Gu Family Ancestor had not anticipated such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation.

It was a Fifth-grade Ruins Realm, yet it brought down a Tribulation that even an Eight-grade Heavenly Gate Realm might not withstand!

It was almost comparable to a Ninth-grade breaking through into the Sage Realm!

'Boom—'

When the fifth wave of Tribulation Lightning struck.

Gu Changge looked up, feeling almost as if his life was flashing before his eyes.

With no other option, he had to withstand the fifth wave head-on.

The Tribulation Lightning struck his body, and he collapsed on the mountainside, his body emitting a fragrant scent...

And there were still four more, even stronger waves of Tribulation Lightning...

Gu Changge considered the Little Golden Man within him, thinking it should allow him to use Fatian Xiangdi once to withstand one of them!

But as he sensed the Little Golden Man inside him, he suddenly discovered a condition that left him somewhat astonished.

The fifth wave of Tribulation Lightning was still rampaging inside his body.

But every time it touched the Little Golden Man, those snake-like arcs of lightning were gripped and swallowed!?

The miniature version of himself was constantly absorbing the Tribulation Thunder Power within him!

In an instant, a bold idea came to him...

'Boom—'

The sixth wave of Tribulation Lightning struck down, and he did not dodge or avoid it.

Quickly getting to his feet, he sat down and began to operate his Cultivation Technique, preparing to try and absorb the Heavenly Tribulation directly!

As long as he could absorb it into his body, the Little Golden Man would swallow it!

His action made the Gu Family Ancestor and the Red Robe Sage shrink their pupils.

The boy was courting death!

Tribulation Lightning could not be Refining!

To not just wish for the lightning to dissipate quickly from his body, actively trying to refine it was seeking death, wasn't it?

But as the lightning struck, and Gu Changge, depending on the last of his Spiritual Energy, used the Twelfth Grade Golden Lotus to block it, he began to attempt to absorb the Tribulation Lightning into his body.

It worked!

Feeling the Tribulation Lightning being Refining into his body, the Little Golden Man joyously opened its mouth, continuously devouring!

Because of the absorption of Tribulation Lightning, his Qi Sea, which was nearly depleted of Spiritual Energy, was instantly refilled!

With Spiritual Energy available, the Golden Lotus would not disperse.

In a moment, the Tribulation Lightning fell upon the Golden Lotus and he continued to refine it endlessly!

Around his body, arcs of lightning flashed, but with the Golden Lotus Body Protection, he remained unharmed.

But the scene still looked incredibly terrifying!

Before long, he had completely Refining the sixth wave of Tribulation Lightning!

Gu Changge faintly felt that he might have grasped a Law of Power of Laws.

'Boom—'

The seventh wave of Tribulation Lightning struck down.

Gu Changge was no longer fearful and even looked forward to the Tribulation Clouds above with great anticipation.

Letting the seventh strike, thick as a bucket, fall upon the protection of the Golden Lotus, he began to frantically operate his Cultivation Technique to absorb the Heavenly Tribulation Power!

The Tribulation Lightning was Refining into his body, transformed by the Twelfth Grade Golden Lotus, and swallowed by the Little Golden Man!

The Little Golden Man sat atop the Golden Lotus, taking up the same pose as him operating the Cultivation Technique, its surroundings also shimmering with arcs of Heavenly Punishment Power.

'Boom—'

The eighth wave of Tribulation Lightning struck down, and Gu Changge continued the same method.

Not only unharmed by the more terrifying lightning strike but he also found that the injuries he had sustained earlier had long since healed under the Heavenly Tribulation Origin!

His body had even grown much stronger!

'Boom—'

The final wave of Tribulation Lightning fell, as thick as a water jar, illuminating the whole forest as if transparent.

Gu Changge sat quietly in the mountains, letting the last wave of Tribulation Lightning fall upon the Golden Lotus.

He began to absorb it quickly!

In just a moment, he had Refining the last wave of Tribulation Lightning!

"What kind of monster is this!?"

"What kind of monster has your Gu Family reared!?"

"Tribulation Lightning can be refining?"

"Is this how your Gu Family practices Body Refinement?"

The Red Robe Sage was nearly driven mad, frantically pulling at his hair as if he had seen a ghost.

"..."

"I told you earlier to just keep quiet and watch."

Gu Haitang at this moment also felt a tumultuous surge in her heart, but on the surface, she looked as if she had known it all along, casually glancing at the Red Robe Sage.

She had felt the sky fall earlier, thinking this boy wouldn't survive the Tribulation!

But now...

This boy was Refining the Heavenly Tribulation right before her wide-open eyes!?

"... Can I, as a Sword Immortal, really defeat him?"

Watching Gu Changge Refining the Heavenly Tribulation, Dongfang Mingyue was somewhat dumbfounded.

What kind of monster was he?

Is that even human?

If he can Refining Heavenly Tribulation, what can't he do?
