Chapter 351: Transforming into a Heavenly Tribulation
After reaching the level of cultivation in the Dharma Status Period, Li Muran deeply felt that it was difficult to continue to improve his cultivation.
Over the past twenty years, he has been practicing diligently. As the elder of the Gu Shen Palace, his cultivation environment is excellent, but various techniques have progressed slowly.
The fifth level of body refining technique has not yet been completed; the first level of "Taixu Sutra" has not been broken through; as for the main practices of "The Immortal Art" and "The Dark Night Art", it has also made average progress and is far from the opportunity to break through the next level.
This is not surprising. For ordinary monks in the early stage of Dharma image, it is difficult to reach the middle stage of Dharma image without more than a hundred years of practice - unless there is a special opportunity.
Although Li Muran has surrendered the Tianxuan Pill and has a much higher cultivation qualification than that of the same level of cultivators, he cannot make a qualitative leap within twenty years.
On the contrary, his spiritual bird, Xiao Lei, has made extremely fast because he is a chosen spirit of heaven and has a low cultivation level. Within the past twenty years, his cultivation level has been improved by one level and has become a level five spirit bird, which is equivalent to the mid-stage Shenyou cultivation level.
As for the spirit beast Xiaobai, he was trapped by the God-Devouring Gu; although under the guidance of Elder Dong, Li Muran tried to limit the further devouring of the God-Devouring Gu in his body, he was still unconscious and naturally could not improve his cultivation.
Li Muran and Elder Lin gradually moved farther and farther into the depths of the demon sea.
With the strength of the two of them, they have the power to kill even when facing level 8 monsters, and have the power to fight when facing level 9 monsters - even if they cannot kill level 9 monsters, they can protect themselves.
The two were flying when they suddenly saw huge waves rolling out of thin air from a distance on the sea surface in the distance. From a distance, the huge waves were like whirlpools, constantly rolling the surrounding sea water.
The two of them were happy. Judging from the degree of the rolling sea water, they were mostly a rare level 8 monster, or even a level 9 monster.
The two of them immediately flew to the place faster and closer. After they got closer, they also noticed that some dark clouds gradually gathered above the sea.
"Swallowing clouds and spitting mist, turning rivers and seas is a sign of high-level monsters appearing. Could it be an eighth-level cloud-swalking beast?" Elder Lin said in surprise.
"It's not impossible." Li Muran nodded: "From the situation of the huge waves, it might be a level nine cloud swallowing beast."
"Haha, if you can hunt a level nine monster, it will be worth your trip," Elder Lin said excitedly.
The ninth-level monster is equivalent to the late-stage cultivation of the Dharma image. The materials are valuable in all their materials. The ninth-level essence is an excellent raw material for refining magic pills, which is very useful to both of them.
The two continued to rush towards the huge whirlpool. Before they got close, they felt a gust of wind, as if there was a strong suction force that sucked all the vital energy of heaven and earth around them into the vortex.
At this time, the dark clouds above the vortex became as big as a hundred acres, and were extremely dense and as dark as ink, making people realize that they were extraordinary at first glance.
The two were shocked when they saw this, and stopped at the same time, looked at each other, and both saw a look of horror in each other's eyes.
Li Muran said: "What kind of monster is in the vortex? This movement is too big. Even when the ninth-level cloud swallowing beast appears, there is probably no such amazing chaos."
Elder Lin shook his head: "I don't know, this is the first time Lin has encountered this situation."
Out of caution, the two of them dared not get too close, but just watched this scene from a distance.
The huge waves were becoming more and more terrifying as the whirlpool rolled up, rising into the sky, hundreds of feet high; and a very deep hole appeared in the center of the whirlpool, and some low beast roars faintly came from it.
As for the dark clouds in the air, they were still rolling violently, and the surrounding heaven and earth energy was constantly gathering here.
Suddenly, with a loud crackling sound, thin golden thunder arcs appeared on the surface of the dark clouds.
"Ah, Lin remembered it." When Elder Lin saw this golden thunder, he immediately realized: "Lin remembered a rumor - it is said that if the level nine monster can be perfectly cultivated, it can turn into human form and advance to the true body stage like a human cultivator."
"Before advancing to the true body, they must go through the heavenly tribulation of the transformation of the heavenly tribulation in the rumors of the transformation of the heavenly tribulation, and the golden thunder and ten thousand ways are unparalleled. If the monster can bear it, it can transform into a human form to advance. If it cannot bear it, its cultivation will decline greatly, return to its original form, and even die here."
"The dark clouds and celestial phenomena are very powerful, and there are golden thunders hidden in it. Could it be the rumored demon beast's transformation into heavenly tribulation?"
Li Muran was also shocked when he heard this. He had heard about the transformation of high-level monsters as early as when he was traveling in the ancient land, and he had also seen the transformation of heavenly tribulation in classics many times.
"It is indeed very similar to the heavenly tribulation recorded in the classics." Li Muran nodded, "I don't know what kind of monster is waiting for the heavenly tribulation in the vortex to experience the heavenly tribulation."
Elder Lin also frowned and said hesitantly: "When encountering a monster that has undergone the transformation of heavenly tribulation, this is an extremely rare opportunity for you and me. Should you and I escape or stay? I am afraid it will be difficult to make a choice."
Li Muran understood what Elder Lin meant that the transformation of heavenly tribulation for the ninth-level monster was a life-and-death catastrophe. If something unexpected happened, it would be a serious injury. At that time, the two of them could subdue the ninth-level monster without any effort.
If the nine-level monster has extraordinary strength, not only can it successfully overcome the heavenly tribulation and advance, but it will also turn around to deal with these two ill-intentioned human cultivators, that would be very bad.
Therefore, there are pros and cons of going or staying, and it is difficult to weigh.
After pondering for a moment, Li Muran said, "Let's do it, you and I will hide from a distance first. If the monster is very powerful, you and I will fly away here while it is over. Anyway, it has no time to clone it to deal with me.
Elder Lin nodded and said, "Well, if the monster is not strong enough and cannot support it under the transformation heavenly tribulation, even if it does not have enough immortality, it is no wonder that you and I take advantage of the situation to rob. If they can hunt a level nine monster, and it is a level nine great perfect monster that is about to advance, it is a great opportunity. Its materials are all good raw materials for treasure refining."
Both of them thought about this, so they retreated for a while and looked at the whirlpool waves and thick dark clouds from afar. This is exactly what is called "bad intentions".
Not long after, with a loud bolt from the blue, a golden thunder arc as thick as a bowl fell from the dark clouds, hitting the center of the vortex like a dragon.
At this time, the sea water in the center of the vortex rolled in a burst, and a golden shadow flew out from it, and it turned out to be a giant dragon a hundred feet long.
The dragon was covered with golden scales and a remarkable aura, which surprised both Li Muran and Elder Lin.
The golden thunder accurately hit the dragon. A thick layer of golden light suddenly appeared on the scales on the dragon's body to resist the sky thunder, but the sky thunder still penetrated the layer of golden light on its body and knocked the dragon overturned. At the same time, several scales on its body were knocked away.
"It turned out to be a level nine-level great perfect golden dragon." Li Muran and Elder Lin moved in their hearts, and then they retreated a little.
Among the monsters, the dragon is undoubtedly the most powerful one. An ordinary level nine monster can still deal with it with the joint efforts of Li Muran and Elder Lin. However, a level nine-level great perfect dragon is difficult to deal with.
Li Muran's face also changed slightly. He sensed that his spiritual bird thunder seemed to be affected by the golden thunder of the heavenly tribulation, and was actually ready to move in Yu Linglong, wanting to fly out.
Li Muran used his divine thoughts to comfort the spirit birds and ordered them not to act rashly.
"Crack" "Boom"
Thunder and lightning flashed endlessly, golden thunder fell from the dark clouds, ignoring the strong wind and waves, and landing accurately on the golden dragon. No matter how the latter dodged, it could not be avoided.
"The golden thunder heavenly tribulation is really terrible. I am afraid that every golden thunder with the thickness of the bowl is not under the power of the late-stage cultivator with all his strength to resist a golden thunder. Under this continuous heavenly thunder strike, only a monster with extremely strong strength can withstand it," Elder Lin murmured with a slightly changed face.
The golden dragon's body was obviously extremely powerful. It only sacred a little golden light to protect its body, and then withstood the golden thunders directly with its physical body. Although it was hit by the golden thunder and rolled around, it was finally not a big deal.
After looking at it for a while from a distance, Elder Lin couldn't help but be even more shocked. He said, "Good guy, the dragon's body is indeed extremely talented. If we, a human cultivator, hit the body by the trace of the golden thunder, we are afraid that the dragon will immediately be destroyed. This dragon can resist the sky thunder with its body. It's really incredible that the magic weapon we waited for on the dragon will not hurt at all."
Li Muran nodded. Once the physical body has been cultivated to a certain terrifying level, it is indeed something that ordinary magic weapons cannot harm. At that time, only by relying on the power of the physical body, it can easily resist most magic attacks and break through layers of magic defenses.
In other words, if the dragon was not passing the tribulation, they should have turned around and fled long ago. Although they were not strong, they were definitely far from the enemy of the golden dragon.
"From the strength of this golden dragon, it is probably possible to survive the heavenly tribulation smoothly. I'd better leave as soon as possible," said Elder Lin.
"Let's go," Li Muran suddenly said with a look of movement: "I heard that the stronger the monster, the more powerful the power of the heavenly tribulation it encounters will increase accordingly. The dark clouds are still evolving more and more violently. I guess the power of the heavenly tribulation has just begun."
