As time passed, Qin Chuan grew calmer. Initially uneasy at the sight of the tri-colored lightning, he now realized that some things weren't actually that difficult.
However, Qin Chuan knew this "not difficult" was relative; for him, it truly wasn't that hard. This
was mainly due to his powerful Vast and Mighty Body and the Great Dao of Divine Abilities, coupled with the unknown golden lightning, which made what was originally incredibly difficult tasks much easier.
In the blink of an eye, seven bolts of lightning had passed, and the five elements energy within Qin Chuan's body had been almost completely refined.
The seven tri-colored lightning bolts had undergone a qualitative change in Qin Chuan's physique, so the upcoming eighth and ninth lightning tribulations were actually less stressful for him.
He also passed the eighth lightning bolt smoothly, so smoothly that Qin Chuan found it somewhat unbelievable. In all his years, this was arguably the easiest tribulation he had ever faced.
It was truly unbelievable to Qin Chuan, as this was a tribulation of life and death at the Immortal Emperor realm, considered by many martial artists to be the most difficult.
Because the tribulations encountered at the Immortal Emperor realm, and even at realms beyond the Immortal Emperor, had not yet surpassed this one.
The ninth life-or-death tribulation arrived, accompanied by rolling thunder and golden light. The lightning was thick and powerful, instantly jolting Qin Chuan's nerves.
A sense of unease seeped into Qin Chuan's body—an instinctive reaction, indicating that his body couldn't withstand the bombardment of these lightning bolts.
The power of nature was terrifying; even the strongest martial artist was powerless before the might of heaven and earth. The might of heaven was vast and terrifying beyond measure.
Qin Chuan dodged continuously, managing to evade with his golden divine eyes, immense speed, and array formations, but each evasion seemed barely manageable.
Qin Chuan was searching for a target; absorbing from a target would allow him to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm, truly achieving a meteoric rise to power.
However, he hadn't found a suitable one yet. This time was different from before, as all the targets were unabsorbable to Qin Chuan; there were none he could absorb, none of them were small enough.
Qin Chuan was uneasy, as time was ticking away, and if he didn't find a suitable target soon, he would truly fail.
Qin Chuan hadn't expected this. He'd thought at most he wouldn't be able to absorb anything suitable, or that he'd only absorb something too small to make himself strongest. But it seemed there was nothing he could absorb at all…
Time was running out, and Qin Chuan still couldn't find anything to absorb, even the smallest bolt of lightning.
After all, this failure meant a long time before he could try to break through again. Attempting to break through was a waste of opportunity, and might even waste his Five Elements energy.
So Qin Chuan panicked, even trying to find a large bolt of lightning to absorb. But with the lightning before him, absorbing it would almost certainly result in failure.
If he failed, he wasn't even sure if his "immunity token" would still be
effective, given the immense power of this lightning. The "immunity token" wasn't absolute; if the force of the impact exceeded its power, it wouldn't guarantee his safety. If the power was sufficient, he could still die.
So Qin Chuan was anxious, his eyes darting around, desperately hoping for a tiny bolt of lightning to appear.
Hmm?
Qin Chuan's eyes suddenly lit up, because among these lightning bolts was a tiny, red-glowing flash of lightning, which was particularly eye-catching and dazzling.
