Chapter 360: Chapter 165: Mirror Flood Dragon, Death and Life
The Celestial Being rises upward.
Within this Tribulation Crossing Land, Gao Xingwen’s body ascends, the spearhead pointing upward, his entire momentum surging like turbulent waves, imposing an astounding pressure across the four directions.
Above the firmament.
The thunderous tribulation character accumulates, and in the next instant, a majestic thunderstorm forms, with mysterious characters wrapped in its center, descending straight from the sky, illuminating the surroundings!
As the two collide, a deafening roar reverberates, the shockwave forming a tangible substance, sweeping in all directions, gradually being absorbed and vanished within this Alternate Space without further spreading.
The thunder is dispelled.
Radiant brilliance flows around Gao Xingwen as he lifts his spear, gazing at the infinite sky.
The first bolt of thunder has been overcome.
Seeing Gao Xingwen standing upright in mid-air, an excited cheer resounds from afar, coming from other distinguished figures who have arrived at this place.
However...
This is destined to be just the beginning.
Qin Jin had once witnessed a Martial God undergoing tribulation, and had also personally experienced it, clearly aware that the planetary phenomena harbor nine bolts of thunder, each unique, increasingly extraordinary, emerging from the essence of those enduring the tribulation. Only by overcoming all of them can one truly witness the extraordinary nature of the Thunder Star.
In the following moment, the radiance of the tribulation character shines once more, as thunderclouds form around the sky of this Tribulation Crossing Land, the power beginning to intensify.
Another clash begins!
A Celestial Being capable of earning countless merits for the Federation, whose Spiritual Will is impeccable, possessing unparalleled strength during their peak.
But now...
He is no longer at his peak, but having prepared to make one last effort, like the final bloom of a brilliant firework, this Elder Gao is holding nothing back, showcasing all his skills.
This is a truly Extraordinary figure who has experienced countless battles, now displaying all his prowess.
The second, the third bolt!
His pace is constantly increasing.
Qin Jin stands nearby, attentively observing the process.
During his observation, within the Spirit Ruins, the Enlightenment Grotto Heaven sways, Treasure Skill unfolds, a faint brilliance sparkles in Qin Jin’s eyes.
Witnessing these mighty warriors undergo tribulation in person is a superb learning opportunity; for a member of the Martial Arts Family, observing stronger figures is also a way to grow.
The tribulation character shines, thunder surges.
After withstanding the seventh bolt of thunder, Qin Jin’s expression becomes grim.
Elder Gao has been giving his all, with no reservation. Therefore, Qin Jin can keenly perceive the changes in his aura. After passing the seventh thunder tribulation, Qin Jin can clearly sense a noticeable decline as if descending a mountain.
In his twilight years, though a brief and unbridled burst might allow a glimpse of his peak grandeur, enduring remains the biggest challenge.
And just during this process.
The eighth bolt of thunder strikes.
This bolt of thunder has completely transformed, no longer resembling an ordinary thunderstorm, forming one mysterious Ancient Character after another, engulfing them in power, plummeting from above like mountains pressing down!
Gao Jingwen stands mid-air, his aura slightly feeble, yet when he looks up to the sky, his gaze remains sharp and radiant, with no turning back, he faces it again!
Boom!
The spearhead collides with the characters, some characters shatter, releasing a tremendous force, the two remain locked in mid-air for several breaths, then Qin Jin sees Gao Xingwen’s body slightly bend.
After the bend, a relentless fall ensues.
The character-formed thunder compresses downward, Gao Xingwen’s body suddenly falls, descending rapidly from mid-air to the ground. In the next moment, the power within the characters detonates, engulfing the broad central area of the Tribulation Crossing Land with countless bolts of lightning, enveloping Gao Xingwen’s body within.
Within the Tribulation Crossing Land.
Only the thunder’s roar remains.
Including Qin Jin, countless gazes focus on the center, their expressions intertwined with various emotions.
Both worry and hope coexist.
Life is hidden within the tribulation, only by truly overcoming it can one obtain everything.
But this "tribulation" character, how could it be simple?
After approximately half a minute, the rampant thunder begins to subside, and at this moment, a stream of light surges from the fluctuating center, traversing the long sky, landing directly in front of Qin Jin, piercing the ground.
That is...
Gao Xingwen’s Extraordinary Soldiers, a long spear of unknown name.
The spearhead embeds into the ground, seemingly blocked by the restrictive power above, fixing the spear motionless here, unable to depart, the spear shaft vibrating rapidly, as if yearning to return.
And just at this moment...
A thick voice echoes from the area where the thunder has yet to completely vanish.
"Qin Jin."
"Although we meet for the first time, my old bones must trouble you with a task."
"If I perish here, please accept it and, when there’s a chance in the future, find it an inheritor."
The trembling of the Extraordinary spear intensifies.
And just at this moment, from within the lingering thunder on the ground, a figure rises, charging skyward again.
Gao Xingwen.
He has endured the eighth bolt of thunder.
His body is battered, his Combat Suit torn, revealing wounds, with his aura further declining.
In his eyes, there is a resolute intent, looking skyward, without a weapon in hand, he becomes the weapon himself, clenching his fists, striking into the void, fist shadows forming.
With each punch thrown, a mirror surface formed by Extraordinary means appears above him, the mirrors overlapping, interweaving, expanding, beginning to reflect everything on the sky.
Within this Tribulation Crossing Land, above the sky, there is only the tribulation character!
