Chapter 108: Chapter 106: Crossing the Tribulation, 5 Elements Tribulation Body Achieved
The sky was thick with dark clouds, and the winds surged.
Even Su Qing felt a powerful, oppressive pressure.
Such was the might of the heavens.
"Sigh!"
Su Qing waited for a moment but noticed no change in his Five Elements Tribulation Body.
’Looks like I’ll have to endure the Thunder Tribulation after all.’
’I hope the damage from the Thunder Tribulation won’t be too severe.’
The tribulation clouds in the sky were already incredibly dense, interwoven with streaks of lightning.
BOOM!
In an instant, lightning erupted, and the first bolt of the Thunder Tribulation struck Su Qing.
As it struck him, a numbing sensation spread not just through his body, but through his very soul.
However, the Five Thunders Technique channeled more than half of the tribulation’s power, using it to continuously temper Su Qing’s body.
Furthermore, with the Authority Star River Visualization protecting his soul, there was no real issue.
’A trial.’
’The first bolt of the tribulation was nothing special.’
Su Qing had withstood it without any issue.

[Five Elements Tribulation Body: Great Success (10/3000)]
——
’Sheesh. Looks like I have a lot more tribulation bolts to endure.’
Su Qing glanced at the panel for his Five Elements Tribulation Body with a wry expression. ’I’m destined to suffer, aren’t I?’
RUMBLE!
Another bolt of lightning descended.
This time, the bolt was slightly more powerful, but Su Qing still held on.
No problem.
The Divine Technique, the Five Thunders Technique, was aiding him. With that, his powerful Physique, and his Visualization Technique, he had no issues at all.
The only issue was that his clothes had been almost completely blasted away.
Revealing his fair and well-defined muscles.
"Wow, Fox Spirit, did you take him as your disciple because you have some ulterior motives?" You Yanhan said, slapping Ouyang Mingming on the shoulder as she took in Su Qing’s physique.
Ouyang Mingming shot back with a look of disdain, "Have you never seen a man before? He’s my disciple. What kind of ulterior motives could I have? I think you’re the one with ideas. Go find a man in the mortal world already, and stop drooling over every guy you see."
"Hmph. I’ve killed more men than you’ve ever even met."
——
[Five Elements Tribulation Body: Great Success (25/3000)]
’It seems a stronger tribulation bolt speeds up the progress of the Five Elements Tribulation Body. I just hope it doesn’t get too difficult later on.’
Su Qing’s muscles began to tremble.
’This is a Thunder Tribulation... and I’m only in the Qi Cultivation Realm.’
’It’s a miracle I can even withstand one bolt.’
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
...
As the intensity of the Thunder Tribulation grew, Su Qing’s expression turned grim.
His muscles trembled uncontrollably, a clear sign that the tribulation was growing ever stronger.
Even Ouyang Mingming and You Yanhan, watching from the sidelines, grew tense, their hearts in their throats.
"Didn’t they say the Qi Cultivation Chapter of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Divine Body only requires enduring three bolts of lightning?"
"What in the world is wrong with your disciple?"
You Yanhan couldn’t bear to look anymore. Su Qing’s body was already becoming charred black.
"I’d like to know too. The Ten Thousand Tribulations Divine Body isn’t supposed to be like this," Ouyang Mingming said, beginning to worry.
She began to fiddle with the Token in her hand.
You Yanhan’s Token lit up, clearly receiving a message from the Sect.
"Yanhan, what is going on? The Thunder Tribulation on Cold Extremity Peak has already surpassed three bolts." You Yanhan heard the message from her Sect Lord.
"My martial nephew is undergoing his tribulation. Something seems to be wrong with his Ten Thousand Tribulations Divine Body," You Yanhan messaged back.
Ouyang Mingming, meanwhile, summoned a Magical Treasure. If her disciple couldn’t hold on any longer, she would have to destroy the Magical Treasure to block a strike for him.
You Yanhan was stunned when she saw Ouyang Mingming summon her Magical Treasure.
"Fox Spirit, what are you thinking?! If a disciple dies, you can just find another! You’ve been performing Sacrificial Refinement on that Magical Treasure for a century!"
"But he’s my first disciple!" A conflicted look appeared on Ouyang Mingming’s face. She couldn’t bear to watch Su Qing suffering through the tribulation below.
BOOM~
BOOM~
’Damn it all!’
Cracks began to appear on Su Qing’s body, the blood seeping from them instantly charring black. Even with the support of his Chaotic Life Body and Five Qi God Demon Body, he was barely holding on.
The meridians within his body were on the verge of being damaged.
The Five Thunders Technique had reached its limit.
He had already been struck by more than twenty bolts.
——
[Five Elements Tribulation Body: Great Success (1650/3000)]
BOOM!
The thunder tribulation struck, its roar echoing in all directions.
[Five Elements Tribulation Body: Great Success (1900/3000)]
’Almost there.’
Su Qing managed a smile. ’Just seven or eight more strikes.’
Though his body was already grievously wounded, Su Qing was no longer as afraid.
He popped a Top Grade Nourishing Yuan Pill into his mouth.
The meridians in his body began to recover rapidly.
He circulated all of his Magical Power, using it to shield his most important meridians and his Dantian.
BOOM!
BOOM!
[Five Elements Tribulation Body: Great Success (2300/3000)]
Su Qing was covered in blood. His hair had long since turned to ash and scattered on the ground.
His body remained charred black, showing no signs of change.
’Three more bolts!’
Su Qing smiled.
’Just three more to go.’
His body had long gone numb. He was only enduring this thanks to the Visualization of the Master of the Star River.
Anyone else would have succumbed to despair after being struck so many times, but thanks to the help of his Visualization Map, Su Qing remained remarkably calm.
His mindset was the most crucial factor.
BOOM!
The next bolt was even more powerful. Su Qing’s internal organs were damaged; his Magical Power could no longer protect them.
The immense force of the tribulation finally drove Su Qing to one knee. His mouth was parched.
He was severely dehydrated.
’I should have refined more Elixirs.’
[Five Elements Tribulation Body: Great Success (2650/3000)]
BOOM!
As the final bolt of lightning descended, Su Qing was on the verge of blacking out. But just then, an immense power surged from within him.
It was like being washed over by a spring breeze, erasing all his injuries and invigorating his very soul.
The dark tribulation clouds in the sky began to disperse.
[Five Elements Tribulation Body: Perfection]
"Ah!" Su Qing groaned in pleasure.
[Five Elements Tribulation Body: Magical Power converted to Five Elements Tribulation Qi. Thunder Dao Cultivation speed increased by 5x, Thunder Resistance increased by 5x, Physique increased by 10x, Magical Power increased by 10x. Grants: Five Elements Tribulation Thunder Seal, a Soul Attack Technique.]
[Combinable]
Within his soul, a mark appeared on the forehead of the Master of the Star River—an endlessly flowing, five-colored seal that resembled a lightning bolt.
Su Qing’s body was gradually recovering.
——
Physique: 22.9
Magical Power: 832.8
——
’My Magical Power and Physique didn’t increase tenfold from their current values.’
’This means the Five Elements Tribulation Body isn’t actually as good as the Five Qi God Demon Body.’
’And the Physique boost seems to be calculated from my base Physique, not my enhanced one.’
’That was truly grueling.’
Su Qing fell silent for a moment, waiting for his body to fully recover.
Two figures appeared before him.
"Master, Martial Aunt," Su Qing said, his voice unchanged.
Only his eyes held a hint of numbness.
"Su Qing, congratulations. It seems your Ten Thousand Tribulations Divine Body has reached Perfection."
"Indeed, Martial Nephew," You Yanhan nodded, satisfied.
Ouyang Mingming handed Su Qing a bottle of Elixirs.
"This is a Tier Two Elixir, a Healing Pill. It’s used for restoring one’s Physique. Hurry and take it," Ouyang Mingming told Su Qing.
Su Qing nodded, opened the bottle, and ate one of the three pills inside.
His body’s recovery speed quickened. Within a few breaths, all the internal damage Su Qing had sustained was completely healed.
’Tier Two Elixirs really are on another level.’
Su Qing looked down at his own charred body.
He said to his master, "Master, Martial Aunt, I’m going to go back and clean up first."
You Yanhan nodded. Ouyang Mingming said, "Yes, go and get some rest. I’ll find some time later to get you the Foundation Establishment Chapter for the Ten Thousand Tribulations Divine Body, so you can reach Foundation Establishment as soon as possible."
"Thank you, Master."
Su Qing was overjoyed.
’I get to freeload another Technique!’
However, Su Qing was well aware that he was completely naked. If it weren’t for the layer of charred blood covering him, he would have been mortified.
Su Qing burrowed into the earth and vanished, returning to his residence to quickly clean himself up.
