No one knew what Qin Yu was thinking at the moment, but the thoughts of Hou Fei and Hei Yu were clearly reflected on their faces and in their eyes.

"Master, please rest assured, although the Ninety-nine Tribulations are formidable, based on what the master just said, and the condition of my brothers during their crossing, I think... no matter what, the power of the first six tribulation thunders isn’t significant, and there are long intervals in between. So, it’s still very safe," Shi Bing whispered softly from the side.

Hou Fei and Hei Yu couldn’t help but smile upon hearing this.

"We were a bit nervous, having experienced the Ninety-nine Tribulations, we naturally worry about Big Brother. Yet, we forgot that the first six Heavenly Thunders are not that powerful," Hou Fei’s face also relaxed slightly.

There is an interval preparation time for each of the nine Heavenly Tribulations, the later it goes, as the power of the tribulations increases, the longer the required interval preparation time becomes.

"Boom–––"

A sound that seemed like the collapse of heaven and earth erupted, a surge of powerful energy pressed down from the sky, causing all the seawater within thousands of miles to forcefully sink nearly ten meters. At that moment, it appeared as though the surrounding space had frozen.

The vortex in the sky, which had absorbed endless thunder and various colored lights, finally stopped rotating and formed the only cloud in the sky at the moment—a tribulation cloud.

Hou Fei, Hei Yu, Shi Xin, Shi Bing, and Si Zhan, all five held their breath in the distance, not daring to breathe.

"The first tribulation thunder should be descending soon," Qin Yu said, furrowing his brows slightly after standing for a moment.

This Ninety-nine Tribulations, why even the first tribulation thunder is accumulating for such a long time? Logically, the descent of the first tribulation thunder should be very fast.

However, contrary to Qin Yu’s expectation, he had been standing below for a long time, and this first tribulation thunder delayed its fall.

Hou Fei, Hei Yu, and the others were also anxious.

"Why hasn’t the first tribulation thunder fallen yet? When I underwent the Ninety-nine Tribulations, it only took ten breaths from the formation of the tribulation cloud to the fall of the first tribulation thunder. But now it’s almost been fifty breaths," Hou Fei was also anxious.

The longer the preparation time, the more anxious everyone became.

The space of thousands of miles was dead silent like a domain of death, with no sound at all, and even the sea within thousands of miles seemed oppressed, not a wave stirred.

Suddenly—

A green thunder from the tribulation cloud flashed abruptly and then struck down directly above Qin Yu’s head. This strike of tribulation thunder came unexpectedly, even Qin Yu was slightly caught off guard. Fortunately, he had planned to withstand the first Heavenly Thunder with his body.

Being able to defeat a Great Success Stage Divine Beast with his body alone, one could imagine the robustness of Qin Yu’s physique.

Qin Yu only felt a slight tremor throughout his body, along with a tingling sensation. Then, the tribulation thunder disappeared.

At the same time, with the descent of the first tribulation thunder, the oppressive feeling in the space of thousands of miles immediately vanished. The sea area, which had not stirred a single wave before, suddenly lifted waves tens of meters high, washing over the Nameless Island while fierce winds suddenly arose, even bending some of the tall trees on the Nameless Island, amid gusts of wind and flying sand and stones.

"The power of this first tribulation thunder is about what I expected. The first tribulation thunder has passed, it should take some time before the second Heavenly Thunder descends," Qin Yu knew each one required an interval period.

Plus, he had already spent a long time waiting for the first tribulation thunder, he wondered how long it would take for the second one.

Just as this thought crossed Qin Yu’s mind.

"Boom!"

Another thunderbolt unexpectedly struck Qin Yu fiercely, causing his entire body to tremble, and even his meridians and muscles became numb.

"So fast!" Qin Yu was greatly surprised.

The second Tribulation Lightning struck only a breath away from the first, both coming without any warning and leaving no time for preparation.

No sooner had the second Tribulation Lightning passed—

A flash of blue light appeared in the sky, followed by a tougher, much more powerful Tribulation Lightning that fiercely struck Qin Yu, the roaring thunder sounding only at that moment. This was the third Tribulation Lightning.

However, just another breath’s time later, within the Tribulation Clouds, a blue, Flood Dragon-shaped lightning swiftly struck down.

...

If it didn’t come, it wouldn’t matter. But when it came, it was like a sudden, furious storm.

"What’s going on, what on earth is happening with this Heavenly Tribulation?" Hou Fei was going mad, "Damn it, when did Heavenly Tribulations become like this? Initially, it took so long to brew, and then it just kept striking furiously, one after another, not even leaving time for one to recover their energy."

Hei Yu was also furious, yet they were completely helpless.

This Ninety-nine Tribulations was too bizarre.

Logically, each should strike, then after a moment, another would follow, and so on. But Qin Yu’s Ninety-nine Tribulations didn’t propagate at all; however, once it started, it was a relentless flurry of strikes.

Even the Xuanbing Lion Beast leader, Shi Xin, frowned, "It is very strange. Generally, before a Tribulation Lightning strikes, there is a buildup of pressure, and it gathers strength in the clouds before striking. This allows the Tribulation Crossing Cultivator to prepare for the Tribulation Crossing. But...your master’s Heavenly Tribulation strikes one after another without any warning."

Differentiated consideration.

The heavens take it easy with ordinary people, yet why have they enhanced the difficulty for Qin Yu?

Hei Yu’s face was also cold, "Strike after strike, not even leaving time for recovery. Not to mention other things, just continuously six strikes of Tribulation Lightning, the accumulated attack power is absolutely not weaker than the ninth Tribulation Lightning."

Hou Fei and the others felt injusticed and were also very worried.

At this moment, however, Qin Yu did not care at all. On the contrary, he still had the mood to ponder why the Heavenly Tribulation was like this.

Six consecutive strikes of Tribulation Lightning, with each differing by at most a breath. It might be a disaster for other Tribulation Crossing Cultivators. But for Qin Yu, having just resisted one Tribulation Lightning, the endless Life Essence Power within his body would instantly heal all injuries.

"Such continuous strikes indeed possess tremendous destructive power. If I didn’t have Life Essence Power, surviving these six strikes of Tribulation Lightning, even if not fatal, would severely injure me. However...why is this Ninety-nine Tribulations like this? I have never heard of anyone else’s Tribulation Crossing being like this in history."

Qin Yu thought to himself.

Although the power of this heavenly thunder was tremendous, Qin Yu’s body was simply too terrifying.

Having been transformed by the Meteor Tear previously, Qin Yu’s body had reached an incredible level, coupled with the astonishing recovery power of Life Essence Power, from the first to the sixth Tribulation Lightning, there was not the slightest damage to Qin Yu.

Finally...

The Heavenly Tribulation paused briefly. After the sixth strike of Tribulation Lightning, the Tribulation Clouds began to slowly rotate again, gradually decreasing in size.

"It seems, though my Ninety-nine Tribulations are quite powerful, they are only a bit stronger than those of Feifei, Little Black and the others. The power of the first six Heavenly Tribulations wasn’t that great, it was just the continuous striking. If I am not mistaken, this seventh Heavenly Tribulation should contain an attack of Skyfire."

Qin Yu thought to himself.

Black Flame Monarch’s Ring—Skyfire Domain!

Qin Yu’s mind stirred, and he immediately activated the Skyfire Domain of the Black Flame Monarch’s Ring.

"The Six Heavenly Tribulations just now struck without any warning, from the tribulation clouds to this close position to me. If the seventh heavenly tribulation is similar, it may be too late to activate the Skyfire Domain at the end, so it is wise to activate it early."

After Qin Yu activated the Skyfire Domain, he quietly waited for the seventh heavenly tribulation to arrive.

...

"Monkey," Hei Yu’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, "After seeing those six consecutive, sudden tribulation lightnings, I’ve had a bad feeling. If the first six were like that, how could the last three be easy?"

Hou Fei also nodded with a solemn face.

Indeed, could they be easy?

But during tribulation crossing, others are fundamentally unable to help, Qin Yu can only rely on himself.

"Mixed Feathered Bird, the worst situation I feared did not occur. What I was most afraid of was that the sixth heavenly tribulation would contain special attacks. Now it seems there’s not much difference between us and Big Brother; the first six heavenly thunders were all ordinary tribulation lightnings. It’s from the seventh tribulation lightning that some special attacks will start appearing."

Hou Fei comforted.

Qin Yu’s Ninety-nine Tribulations, although more dangerous than those of Hou Fei and the others, wasn’t too much more dangerous.

...

"Boom~~~~"

This time, the entire tribulation cloud trembled, and blazing purple flames swirled within the tribulation clouds, and then a purple fire dragon descended from the sky, rapidly rushing toward Qin Yu.

This was the seventh heavenly tribulation.

A gleam flashed in Qin Yu’s eyes. This thick purple fire dragon, appearing as purple flames on the outside, actually contained tribulation lightning within.

"Absorb."

A Middle Grade Immortal Sword appeared in Qin Yu’s hand, and at the same time, the purple fire dragon also entered the range of the Skyfire Domain. Instantly, the heavenly fire of the purple fire dragon was completely devoured by the Skyfire Domain, leaving only a tribulation that had lost some of its force striking Qin Yu.

The partially depleted tribulation lightning struck Qin Yu, and his body merely flashed with an Electric Snake, and then streaks of green electrical light dissipated.

"Huh? This seventh tribulation lightning is so weak?" Qin Yu wondered.

Although it had passed through the Skyfire Domain and lost some of its force, this was after all the seventh tribulation lightning. Even after losing some force, it should have matched the power of the sixth tribulation lightning. However, Qin Yu felt that this tribulation lightning, after losing some of its parts, was a lot weaker than the sixth tribulation lightning.

Qin Yu’s mind stirred. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

He remembered his own Sixty-nine Heavenly Tribulations.

During that tribulation, the power of the first five heavenly thunders were outrageously weak, yet most of the energy was incredibly focused on the very last thunder. That single thunder almost turned Qin Yu to ash. Or to say, if it weren’t for the Meteor Tear, the Qin Yu back then would at least have become a Loose Cultivator.

"Could it be... this time it’s the same, the seventh tribulation lightning isn’t very powerful, the eighth may not be strong either, and all the saved energy is concentrated on the ninth tribulation lightning?" Qin Yu was shocked.

Under normal circumstances, the power of the ninth heavenly tribulation’s lightning is already outrageously strong. If heaven plays this trick again, Qin Yu really can only risk his life using a Sword Immortal Puppet. After all, he absolutely wouldn’t be able to withstand it on his own.

At this time, the sky was accumulating the eighth heavenly tribulation.

"Hum~~~" The tribulation cloud’s light flowed.

Qin Yu only felt dizzy for a moment. When he regained consciousness, his surroundings were no longer the island and the sea area, but inside Cloud Mist Villa. In the main hall of Cloud Mist Villa, Qin Yu then saw his father—Qin De!

"Yu’er, your big brother has offended a Loose Cultivator and was killed," Qin De’s face was utterly bleak.

"Big Brother is dead?" Qin Yu’s face drastically changed.

Suddenly—

At this moment, Qin Yu’s spirit shook, and he completely remembered.

"No, I am undergoing tribulation!" Qin Yu abruptly shook his head, yet as soon as Qin Yu had just regained consciousness, the illusion dissipated, and what Qin Yu saw in his eyes was the thunder striking his own body. Caught completely unprepared, that thunder directly struck Qin Yu’s head.

Even when withstanding tribulation lightning head-on, Qin Yu generally wouldn’t dare use his head to withstand it.

Dizziness.

That was the feeling of dizziness. The moment his head was struck, Qin Yu thought—his soul was within his mind. If the tribulation lightning struck his soul, Qin Yu couldn’t imagine what the outcome would be.

The eighth tribulation lightning ferociously struck Qin Yu’s head, causing his skull to crack, yet—

As soon as the skull had just cracked, it was repaired by the Life Essence Power, but then it cracked again, and was once again repaired by the Life Essence Power.

"Soul."

Relying on the Life Essence Power to resist for a moment, Qin Yu immediately controlled his soul to merge into the Dantian’s planet.

Just for a moment the eighth tribulation lightning dissipated, and the power of this eighth tribulation lightning wasn’t too great, only slightly more than the sixth tribulation lightning. Having resisted the eighth heavenly tribulation, Qin Yu didn’t feel much joy, instead... his heart felt heavy.

"As expected... the power of the eighth tribulation lightning was just as anticipated, not very great."

Qin Yu looked at the tribulation clouds in the sky.

"What exactly is going on, why are these tribulation clouds so strange, both the seventh and eighth power being so weak, could it be the tribulation clouds will focus energy on one tribulation, giving the tribulation crossing cultivator the strongest strike?" Qin Yu truly couldn’t understand; he had never heard of such a thing in history.

And during the Sixty-nine Heavenly Tribulations, it was the same, now... Ninety-nine Tribulations as well.

During the Sixty-nine Heavenly Tribulations, with Li’er’s help, Qin Yu’s body was still blasted apart, and only by relying on the Meteor Tear did he recover. What about the Ninety-nine Tribulations?

"The Temptation of the Heart Demon, even knowing it is false, one can’t help being affected. This ninth heavenly tribulation, Skyfire, Heart Demon Attack, Tribulation Lightning Attack, attacks similar to the Enchanting Soul Technique, and so on." Qin Yu looked at that tribulation cloud, feeling somewhat heavy-hearted.

Suddenly Qin Yu’s face showed a hint of coldness: "Saving energy, only to focus it on the last tribulation, isn’t this deliberately trying to kill me. But do you think I will just die?"

"Sword Immortal Puppet!"

Qin Yu’s mind stirred, and the figure of a stern man carrying an Immortal Sword appeared above Qin Yu’s head.
