chapter 384: chapter 84 tribulation success, obtaining intelligence

the eighth thunderbolt of the tribulation took quite some time to brew.

above lu youjiu’s head, within the tribulation clouds, the sound of “rumbling” thunder was incessant, and countless dazzling lightning bolts tumbled within the clouds alongside the thunder.

the oppression brought about by the entire tribulation cloud grew more and more terrifying.

clearly, the eighth thunderbolt of the tribulation was about to finish brewing.

it was at this moment that lu youjiu suddenly opened his eyes and stood up, operating his magical treasure to protect his body.

following that,

lu youjiu took the gourd from his waist, opened the stopper, and directly gulped down a mouthful of wine.

with this mouthful of wine, even though lin jing was far away, he could feel that the spiritual power in lu youjiu’s body surged tremendously in an instant.

after that, lu youjiu pointed his sword towards the sky and soared upwards.

it was at that moment,

that the eighth thunderbolt fell.

a massive column of thunderous light instantly engulfed lu youjiu entirely.

lin jing concentrated his spiritual power in his eyes just to barely make out what was happening inside.

at this moment, lu youjiu, whose injuries had almost healed, was once again wounded by the eighth thunderbolt, and the injuries were even more severe than before.

the two protective magical treasures emitted a cyan light as they worked at full capacity to protect lu youjiu.

very quickly, the protective magical treasures could no longer hold on.

one of the treasures, which already had some cracks, could not withstand the devastation of the tribulation lightning anymore…

with a “bang,” it shattered.

in this way, it had fulfilled its mission.

and the situation with the other magical treasure was not optimistic either.

finally, when the second magical treasure began to show extensive cracks and was about to shatter, the eighth thunderbolt had at last completed its course.

now looking at lu youjiu again,

his body was covered in wounds, even his usually clean white clothes were stained red with blood.

in some places, they had stuck to the flesh exposed by his injuries.

at first glance, it was hard to distinguish between clothes and flesh.

lu youjiu was gravely injured, and the island under his feet had also been reduced by more than one layer by the thunderbolt.

the whole island had become incredibly flat.

the fragmented rocks on the island melted under the bombardment of the thunderbolt and then solidified into large clusters.

these clusters of rocks melted and solidified by the thunderbolt could no longer be considered as mere rocks but had turned into a kind of metal.

lin jing thought that these metals could even be used for artifact refining materials.

though they wouldn’t make magical treasures, they should be suitable for refining magic artifacts.

……

after the eighth thunderbolt had passed, lu youjiu once again took out two elixir medicines and consumed them.

he needed to take advantage of every moment available to recover quickly and prepare for the final thunderbolt.

looking at holaw three rivers and yan wanfei, their faces filled with worry as they watched lu youjiu in the center of the island.

lin jing, however, was paying attention to the churning tribulation clouds above lu youjiu’s head.

with the continuous sounds of “rumbling” coming from within the clouds, the tribulation clouds above were still consolidating.

by the looks of their preparation, this final thunderbolt could very well be several times more powerful than the eighth.

however, just as lin jing was pondering this…

suddenly.

with a “crack,” the final thunderbolt unexpectedly fell.

at this moment, lu youjiu was still sitting in meditation below.

and the suddenness of the thunderbolt’s descent was so abrupt that the others didn’t even have time to react.

the thunderbolt engulfed lu youjiu completely.

the group was immediately shocked, as this final thunderbolt was too capricious and had come all too suddenly.

lin jing then looked at holaw three rivers and yan wanfei.

holaw three rivers had a grim expression, staring intently at the thick thunderbolt.

and yan wanfei was wearing a look of extreme anxiety.

but they both knew that no matter how anxious they were, they had to wait.

the heavenly tribulation did not care who was undergoing the tribulation; anyone rashly entering its range would cause the power of the heavenly tribulation to double instantly.

therefore,

the two of them dared not act rashly at this time.

……

the last thunderbolt lasted for a full nine breaths’ time.

once the thunderbolt dissipated, the three rushed to look towards the center of the island.

they saw a deep crater thousands of meters wide at the center of the island.

around the edge of this crater were rocks that had been scorched red-hot, some of which had already melted by half.

looking down from above, lin jing saw lu youjiu, whose body was charred black, at the center of the crater.

at that moment, lu youjiu was almost unrecognizable as human.

but he was still sitting cross-legged in the pit.

lin jing focused his gaze and could see that lu youjiu’s blackened chest rose and fell slightly.

seeing this, lin jing let out a sigh of relief.

it seemed that lu youjiu had succeeded in overcoming the tribulation.

but at that time, the tribulation clouds in the sky above the island still lingered, so they did not dare to approach and could only watch from a distance.

only after some time did the tribulation clouds over the island gradually disperse, and the weather returned to being clear.

seeing that the tribulation clouds had completely scattered and that the oppressive and fearsome pressure of the heavens had vanished,

lin jing and the others finally returned to the island.

no sooner had they met than yan wanfei slapped his chest and said,

“i was scared to death just now, especially by that last thunderbolt, it was so sudden.”

“i thought we’d still have to wait a little longer for it to fall, but who knew it would come down so unexpectedly and without any signs.”

“it looked like brother jiu didn’t even have time to react.”

holaw three rivers nodded, still shaken, and said,

“me too…”

“that last thunderbolt was really too strange.”

lin jing also nodded in agreement.

“`

“let’s go check on brother jiu…” yan wanfei followed up.
