Chapter 330 - Chapter 330: Chapter 32: Successfully Passing the Tribulation, Advancing to Golden Core (2/2)

This eighth strike of tribulation lightning came too suddenly.

And it did not give Lin Jing much time to prepare.

Lin Jing, still unrecovered from his injuries, was forced to confront the eighth strike of tribulation lightning.

Just like before, the eighth lightning engulfed Lin Jing completely.

It wasn’t until after three breaths that the eighth lightning, having exhausted its accumulated Heavenly Tribulation Power, finally dissipated.

Only after the lightning had vanished did Lin Jing’s figure reappear.

At that moment, there was not a single unscathed spot on Lin Jing’s body.

Many areas revealed stark white bones, and even on his chest, shoulders, and back, there were large patches charred black.

Moreover, across Lin Jing’s body, those red lightning arcs continuously darted about.

Lin Jing looked in terrible shape, yet the corners of his mouth still curled up, revealing a bitter smile.

Lin Jing was aware that his condition was dire.

After the lightning had dissipated, he hastily took out a Pure Body Restoration Pill from his Storage Bag and stuffed it into his mouth.

He had to recover his injuries as much as possible before the final lightning strike descended.

After swallowing the Pure Body Restoration Pill, Lin Jing began to meditate intently, seeking to heal his wounds.

While Lin Jing was meditating, the red lightning arcs left cracks at the wounds they touched, from which blood oozed out.

However, under the repair of the Overlord Divine Physique and the Pure Body Restoration Pill, those wounds were visibly closing at a slow pace.

During this destructive and restorative process, minuscule, almost imperceptible golden specks began to emerge from within Lin Jing’s flesh.

And they assisted in healing the injuries.

Furthermore, the dark glow that had covered Lin Jing’s body was changing to gold at a visible speed.

Lin Jing, who was healing, naturally noticed this phenomenon.

Lin Jing understood that the emergence of the golden light indicated that his Overlord Divine Physique was about to advance to the Golden Core Stage.

Once the dark light on Lin Jing’s body completely turned to gold, he would be a Golden Core Stage Body Refinement Cultivator.

……

The black tribulation clouds in the sky were tumbling as violently as before.

The aura emenating from the clouds became even more terrifying, as if the sky were about to collapse, looming over Lin Jing’s head and sending shivers through his heart.

This final bolt of lightning was still brewing.

Within the churning clouds, white and blue flashes of lightning could no longer be seen, replaced entirely by the dreadfully red lightning.

And with the clouds’ increasingly violent motion, the red lightning appeared with increasing frequency.

“Rumble… Rumble…”

Continuous muffled sounds came from within the clouds.

As the atmosphere in the sky grew increasingly oppressive.

Lin Jing could no longer afford to continue healing his wounds.

By this time, his injuries had mostly recovered, and the charred flesh that had once covered his body had sloughed off, revealing new skin beneath.

Nevertheless, the final bolt of lightning arrived abruptly, without any warning.

Just as Lin Jing was about to take another Pure Body Restoration Pill from his Storage Bag as a precaution.

The clouds, which had been rumbling a moment before, suddenly released a column of red lightning, followed only then by a tremendous roar of thunder.

“Boom!”

By the time Lin Jing heard the sound, he had already been engulfed by the red pillar of lightning.

As the red lightning struck Lin Jing, his head reeled as if suddenly hit, dazing him momentarily.

However, fortunately, Lin Jing’s Divine Sense was incredibly strong, and that was under the augmenting effects.

The daze was but a fleeting moment, and Lin Jing quickly recovered to normal.

Yet the red tribulation lightning was not as devastating upon impact as he had imagined.

Although it still inflicted considerable damage on Lin Jing, its destructive power was nowhere near that of the eighth lightning.

Lin Jing felt as if there was something different within the strike, aiding him in absorbing the Heavenly Tribulation Power.

Inside Lin Jing’s Dantian, the Dao foundation formed by innumerable Spiritual Power began to change.

The Spiritual Power, like a vortex, devoured all other Spiritual Power, and this devoured power started to transform slowly…

……

It was then that Lin Jing realized.

The final bolt of lightning was targeting the Soul Spirit; if the Soul Spirit were not steadfast, just one stroke of this lightning would be enough to annihilate both soul and body, resulting in death and the end of one’s Dao.

This last lightning lasted for a long nine breaths, even twice as long as the eighth lightning.

When the final bolt of lightning dissipated, the ground around Lin Jing showed no drastic change, still a charred crater, with the only untouched spot being where Lin Jing sat.

However, there was a significant transformation on Lin Jing’s body.

The most noticeable change was that the dark light which had shone over Lin Jing’s body had now turned completely golden.

Making Lin Jing appear as though he was enveloped in a golden radiance.

Furthermore, the wounds on Lin Jing’s body, after being refined by the last bolt of lightning, had vanished without a trace.

Only his tattered, bloodstained clothing bore witness to his previous dishevelment.

Apart from these changes, the most significant change was Lin Jing’s cultivation…

At this moment, Lin Jing had become a true Golden Core Immortal.
