Cultivation: But Not a Game

Chapter 473 - 322: Four Symbols Seal Spirit Tribulation, Supreme Grade Golden Core_3

Two earth-shattering booms sounded as the true battle form plummeted like a meteor, crashing heavily onto the Tribulation Crossing Platform, raising waves dozens of meters high.

The third wave of the heavenly tribulation had a power of 30 million; the platform reduced it by 10%. The Splitting Sky Axe and the Celestial Spirit Demon-slaying Saber together negated 7.2 million damage, leaving 19.8 million. After a 70% reduction, 5.94 million remained, with the physique reducing by 1.2 million, resulting in final damage of 4.74 million.

Ten seconds later, the fourth wave of the heavenly tribulation arrived as expected. A single claw from the Black Tortoise directly knocked him down, pinning him to the platform for two seconds before he could recover.

Another ten seconds later, the fifth wave struck again. The Vermilion Bird’s Nanming Li Fire converged into a Vermilion Bird descending, turning the entire platform into a sea of fire.

The fifth wave’s power was 50 million, with the platform weakening it by 10%. The Splitting Sky Axe and the Celestial Spirit Demon-slaying Saber together negated 7.2 million damage, leaving 37.8 million. After a 70% reduction, 11.34 million remained. With the physique reducing by 1.2 million, the final damage was 10.14 million.

Accumulated over five waves, the total damage was 25.61 million, and more than half the blood remained.

"Four waves left."

"According to past patterns, the power of the remaining four waves won’t simply stack linearly but will increase geometrically."

"However, the remaining blood volume is enough to withstand another wave."

Su Yu contemplated briefly and continued to brace himself.

Ten seconds later, the sixth wave of the heavenly tribulation struck again, with the soul of the Azure Dragon extending a claw downwards.

"Boom!"

In an instant, a terrifying damage of 70 million exploded, forcibly knocking out 15.54 million of his blood after multiple reductions.

"It’s enough."

Su Yu took out the Creation Great Rejuvenation Pill and swallowed it. The Tier Four Lower-grade Great Pill instantly restored 1 billion Qi and Blood, allowing for a rebirth from a single drop of blood, and for the next 60 seconds, it restored 1 million Qi and Blood per second while rapidly healing injuries.

His Qi and Blood state instantly returned to full, and Su Yu lightly commanded:

"Law of Heaven and Earth!"

Decisively activating this Great Divine Technique, his figure rapidly expanded to hundreds of meters, with all attributes instantly enhanced tenfold.

Enhancing tenfold on the basis of the true battle form.

Under the true battle form, Qi and Blood was 48 million, and tenfold made it 480 million.

Under the true battle form, physique was 900,000, and tenfold made it 9 million.

Under the true battle form, strength was 1.35 million, and tenfold made it 13.5 million.

Ten seconds later, the seventh wave of the heavenly tribulation struck again, with a sky-supporting Black Tortoise claw pressing down.

"Boom! Boom!"

The seventh wave’s power reached 100 million; the platform reduced it by 10%. The Splitting Sky Axe’s base attack of 2 million plus 13.5 million strength could negate 15.5 million, and along with the Celestial Spirit Demon-slaying Saber, they together negated 31 million, leaving 69 million, further reduced by 70% to 17.7 million. The physique of 9 million reduced it to the final damage of just 8.7 million, not even as high as the previous round.

The interval between each heavenly tribulation was ten seconds, and the Creation Great Rejuvenation Pill restored 1 million Qi and Blood per second, making ten seconds enough for a full recovery.

Yet despite successfully blocking this hit, Su Yu showed no joy but rather frustration because the Splitting Sky Axe and the Celestial Spirit Demon-slaying Saber were shattered after withstanding seven waves of heavenly tribulation.

"Damn, once again I’ve suffered due to inexperience."

Normally in weapon battles, Mana would be injected to enhance power and protect the treasure.

Yet here he went, offering no buffer, nor using Mana for protection, relying solely on the strength of the treasure itself to brace against seven waves of third-tier powerful heavenly tribulations consecutively; even a Tier Ten Treasure couldn’t withstand such violent usage, shattering on the seventh wave.

"Good!"

Senior Brother Huai Meng and Third Brother Xing Yi exchanged a glance, seeing the joy in each other’s eyes.

"To dare use main force treasures directly against the heavenly tribulation, truly reckless."

"Two more tribulations remain, and by past norms, the next two will be stronger than all previous seven combined. Without these handy Divine Weapons, how will he withstand them?"

Yet contrary to their secret delight, Master Ye Lingfeng showed no sign of worry, but rather had a glint in his eyes, nodding slightly.

"I didn’t expect you to have a disciple with dual cultivation in both law and body, possessing not only immense Mana but also such exceptional physique."

Ye Lingfeng chuckled softly:

"More than just dual cultivation. This disciple is also skilled in Swordsmanship, with a Swordsmanship realm not inferior to a Celestial Immortal who specializes in Sword Dao."

"Then you’ve struck gold, taking in such an impressive disciple."

Ye Lingfeng laughed heartily:

"Haha, just lucky, just lucky."

"Tch, look at you so pleased."

Ten seconds later, the eighth wave of heavenly tribulation struck again, with a power reaching 150 million.

Su Yu remained motionless, his body, reaching a hundred zhang, stood in the ground, bracing the hit, with the White Tiger only managing to pierce half a furious head.

"Damn, what a loss."

The tribulation was upon him, yet Su Yu’s mind was not on the tribulation at hand, instead lamenting the losses just suffered.

The tribulation was no longer a threat.

Under the Law of Heaven and Earth, blood volume reached 480 million, and with a 70% damage reduction, even a final strike with a power of 1 billion could be withstood, what was there to worry about?

After the eighth wave, Su Yu directly activated the Nine Extreme Miraculous Immortal Skill, which, when Dao Foundation Grade Three emerged, produced a Body Refining Skill—to overdraw potential, restoring all Qi and Blood and Mana within three seconds, quickly healing wounds and regenerating flesh, maintaining half recovery speed for the next fifteen seconds.

The broken furious head’s flesh grew rapidly, recovering quickly.

"The last wave is coming."

Everyone looked towards the sky, where the Four Sacred Beasts roared in unison, converging towards the center, wrapped in a ball of golden light, disappearing without a trace.

Huai Meng gazed solemnly at the sky, muttering to himself,

"Merely surviving the eighth wave isn’t much; the power of the final wave of the tribulation can match the total of the previous eight. Without a treasure to block the tribulation, how to withstand it with just the physical body?"

Before finishing his words, a golden light descended from the sky, striking the Law of Heaven and Earth, unleashing unimaginable terrifying might, directly shattering one of the heads.

"Good, he’s done....."

After the golden light shattered the head, it quickly engulfed the true battle form.

But contrary to everyone’s expectations, the golden light, after shattering the furious head, only blasted a large pit in the head area, and the massive body did not, as they imagined, shatter to pieces, only blowing out a large pit and erasing a third of the shoulder before it ran out of momentum.
