Chapter 425: Overcoming the Thunder Tribulation
Seeing the thunder dragon getting closer and closer, Lin Tianming patted his storage bag, and three second-level defensive magic weapons appeared in his hands.
Immediately afterwards, he blasted out magic spells one after another, hitting the magic weapon accurately.
"Buzzing..."
There were bursts of strange noises, and the surface of these defensive instruments flashed with light, and soon grew in size, forming various types of barriers to firmly protect him.
He was very fast because he was well prepared and well aware of the terrifying power of thunder tribulation. Even though he was always confident, he had to treat it with caution.
Otherwise, if you die in a thunderstorm, no matter how talented or amazing you are, your death will be nothing.
Under such circumstances, Lin Tianming used his skills to the extreme, and the spiritual power in his body was crazily injected into these defensive weapons.
Under his control, the surfaces of these defensive instruments were filled with dazzling light, and their defensive power was maximized.
And the moment he finished these defenses, the first level of thunder catastrophe had arrived, and it came to the sky above his head in an instant.
"Rumble..."
Lin Tianming heard the sound of thunder in his ears. It seemed that because the distance was too close, the thunder made his ears hurt.
He raised his head and looked straight at the sky, only to see three thunder dragons roaring, their huge bodies passing through the thick dark clouds, their bloody mouths already opened, and a majestic dragon roar resounding throughout the world.
The Brontosaurus is very fast, and the way its body shuttles through the dark clouds is like a fish swimming in the water, making it look like a living creature.
Under his gaze, the Thunder Dragon descended instantly and bombarded the defensive weapon above his head head-on.
There were bursts of explosions, rays of light shone between the sky and the earth, and the shock wave caused by the explosion swept over.
Under that brilliant light, the three defensive instruments were like paper, easily blasted into pieces by the Thunder Dragon.
Immediately afterwards, the Thunder Dragon continued to run towards him. It seemed that even if it was blocked for an instant or even consumed part of its power, it would not stop brazenly.
At this moment, the thunder dragon came with an astonishing momentum, and the shock wave caused by the explosion swept over, blowing Lin Tianming's robes.
Lin Tianming felt the will of Thunder Dragon and witnessed with his own eyes the whole process of Lin Shikang's tribulation.
He always knew in his heart that if he didn't completely break it up or exhaust its power, the Thunder Dragon would not stop.
And this is only the first thunder tribulation. The power of the subsequent two thunder tribulations will inevitably double.
And he only used three defensive magic weapons to resist just now, and he didn't want to consume too many treasures too early, so as not to be too passive when dealing with the next two thunder tribulations.
In his eyes, although the power of the first level of thunder calamity is terrifying, he is a monk with both body and mind. The power of his body alone is comparable to a second-level mid-level defensive magic weapon.
Not only that, this thunder dragon has already consumed a lot of power, and its remaining power is probably very limited.
If he gives full play to his physical strength, he can save some defensive weapons and avoid excessive expenditure on external objects.
Such an arrangement would allow him to persist for a while longer under the subsequent two thunder tribulations.
Thinking of this, Lin Tianming looked calm, clenched his fist in a hurry, and punched the oncoming thunder dragon overhead.
Its movements are clean and neat, and although its fist looks small, it has no destructive power.
But invisibly, a ball of air shot out from his fist, blasting away the air in front of him.
Soon enough, this gas and the thunder dragon bombarded each other.
There was an explosion, and the Thunder Dragon in mid-air paused, then roared, its expression seemed a little painful.
The two were in a stalemate for a moment, and the gas blasted by the fists dissipated, and less than half of the Thunder Dragon's body collapsed.
Immediately afterwards, the Thunder Dragon fell again, and directly collided with Lin Tianming's fist.
In an instant, Lin Tianming felt a powerful force coming through his fist, and a numbing sensation, accompanied by severe pain, instantly spread throughout every area of his body.
At the same time, the energy and blood in his body surged rapidly, and many lightning bolts took the opportunity to invade his body and began to flow crazily.
There were only a few strands of these lightning bolts, and they were beyond his control, wreaking havoc inside his body.
There were bursts of crackling sounds, which were actually caused by the collision of lightning and bones.
Receiving this destructive force, Lin Tianming's face turned pale, a mouthful of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and his breath suddenly became weaker.
At this time, he quickly mobilized a large amount of spiritual power to suppress the lightning that invaded his body.
Under his pursuit and interception, the power of thunder and lightning was slowly consumed, and then completely forced out of the body.
Immediately afterwards, he looked up to the sky and found that the figure of the Thunder Dragon had long disappeared. Only the dark clouds high in the sky still existed, and thunder and lightning were still brewing inside.
Seeing this situation, Lin Tianming breathed a sigh of relief, and became even more wary of the power of thunder.
However, he was also secretly glad that his physical strength was strong enough, coupled with the blue star armor he had been wearing.
This defensive magic weapon was originally a second-level mid-level inner armor. Lin Shilu spent a lot of treasures to upgrade it to a second-level high-level armor. After some sacrifices, the new Blue Star Armor's defensive power was extremely good, and it resisted countless attacks for him. The power of Shao Lei Jie.
Otherwise, even if you can withstand the first level of lightning tribulation, you will not be able to avoid being injured.
But now, he only has some turbulence in the energy and blood in his body. This small injury has a minimal impact on his strength and can be completely ignored.
Knowing this, Lin Tianming's face regained a lot of color, and then he took out a pill and swallowed it, taking advantage of this precious interval to recover as much spiritual power as possible.
After a cup of tea.
There was loud thunder in the sky, and the thunder and lightning brewing in the dark clouds surged up. It seemed that it had met the requirements of thunder disaster and might fall at any time.
At this time, Lin Tianming looked at the thunder clouds and found that the thunder and lightning inside were larger and the number had increased significantly.
Not only that, even the aura of thunder and lightning is getting stronger and stronger, obviously rising several levels compared to the first level.
It seems that the second level of thunder tribulation must far exceed the first level.
Seeing this situation, his expression became more solemn, and he quickly made preparations to deal with the thunder disaster.
"Rumble..."
After just a few breaths, the dark clouds rolled violently, and then a huge thunder dragon emerged from them.
Looking at it, this thunder dragon looked majestic. Although there was only one, the number was even less than during the first thunder tribulation, but the body of the thunder dragon was extremely huge and its aura was much more terrifying.
The moment the Thunder Dragon appeared, the entire sky shone with silver light, and even the temperature between heaven and earth suddenly dropped a lot.
Although Lin Tianming had long expected that the second thunder tribulation would be very terrifying, it seems that he still underestimated the power of the second thunder tribulation.
Just when Lin Tianming was slightly distracted, the second level of thunder leaped out from the dark clouds and bombarded him directly.
At this time, Lin Tianming slapped his storage bag, and several more defensive weapons appeared. Then he quickly took them out and turned them into barriers to firmly block the sky above his head.
With the lessons learned from the first thunder tribulation, Lin Tianming was extra cautious. This time he directly sacrificed five defensive magic weapons, and three of them were second-level high-grade magic weapons.
Such a method, regardless of the cost, is really difficult for ordinary monks to all, the value of every second-level high-grade defensive magic weapon is not low. An ordinary monk in the late stage of foundation building can own one or two second-level middle-high-grade defensive magic weapons, which is already considered a wealthy person.
Taking Ye Pinghai as an example, when he first went through the tribulation, he only used seven or eight second-level defensive magic weapons.
You know, he is a well-known alchemy master among casual cultivators, and has refined elixirs for many monks.
After practicing Taoism for hundreds of years, a large amount of treasure has been accumulated, and the wealth among the foundation-building monks is already very substantial.
But even so, there were only seven or eight defensive weapons used to overcome the tribulation at the beginning, which could not be compared with Lin Tianming.
Fortunately, Lin Tianming's wealth was even more terrifying. He had obtained a large number of defensive weapons and numerous spiritual minerals and materials in the Tianfeng Secret Realm.
Those trophies all come from monks in the late stage of foundation building, and almost all of them are second-level mid-level or above.
Coupled with the unrelenting support of Lin Shilu, the weapon refiner, and the help of the entire Lin family to collect, it was possible to use these defensive magic weapons so generously to deal with thunder disasters.
I am afraid that even the inner disciples of Zhenyang Sect can afford such a generous gift.
But now, Lin Tianming looked unconcerned, as if those defensive weapons were worthless.
But if you think about it carefully, if others don't do this, it's because they are short of money. Otherwise, if you die in a thunderstorm, no matter how rich your wealth is, what's the point of having more treasures? After all, once the monk dies, everything disappears and everything has nothing to do with the monk.
Because he understood this, Lin Tianming used so many defensive weapons as soon as he took action, without any hesitation or distress at all.
And his big hand really played a vital role.
The moment the Thunder Dragon arrived, it hit the first barrier head-on.
The first defensive weapon was only a second-level mid-grade weapon. It only made the Thunder Dragon pause for a moment before being penetrated directly.
Immediately afterwards, the next two pieces were also unable to stop the Brontosaurus and were easily penetrated.
But later on, the grade of defensive magic weapons became higher and higher, the quality became better and better, and the defensive power became stronger.
In addition, the power of the thunder dragon is consumed, and the power of the thunder dragon becomes smaller and smaller as it goes behind.
Soon, the fifth defensive weapon was also destroyed by the Thunder Dragon. The remaining Thunder Dragons were still bombarding them, and there was no possibility of stopping them.
However, the Thunder Dragon was much smaller at this time, and whether it was breath or momentum, it was difficult to compare with it at its peak.
Obviously, the current Thunder Dragon is greatly reduced in power and threat.
Lin Tianming also knew this, and before the Thunder Dragon arrived, he punched out and collided head-on with the Thunder Dragon.
He was fully prepared for this attack. Not only did he successfully disperse the Thunder Dragon, he was also prepared to deal with the destructive power of thunder and lightning.
As the thunder dragon finally disappeared into the sky, the second thunder tribulation passed, and the sky temporarily returned to a brief calm.
The ferocity of this second thunderstorm did not cause much trouble. It only caused Lin Tianming to consume a lot of energy and did not suffer much injuries.
Seeing that the second thunder tribulation was passed, there was only the last thunder tribulation left. As long as he successfully passed it, he would be able to enter the golden elixir stage.
Thinking of this, Lin Tianming was extremely excited, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.
However, he could not be happy for long, as the third thunder catastrophe seemed to be almost brewing.
At this time, he looked high in the sky and found that a large amount of thunder and lightning had gathered in the dark clouds. From them, several powerful thunder dragons were condensed, each of which was no weaker than the one just now.
Seeing such a terrifying thunder tribulation, his momentum was far greater than when Lin Shikang was going through the tribulation.
At this moment, Lin Tianming frowned and finally showed a frightened expression.
He knew in his heart that the first level of thunder tribulation was just a small test, and the second level of thunder tribulation also posed some fatal threats, but as long as he paid a certain price, it would not be too difficult to get through it.
But this third level of thunder tribulation is the obstacle for all foundation-building monks to overcome the tribulation. I don’t know how many people who hit the golden elixir stage died at this level.
And what he is about to experience now is also a real ordeal.
Sure enough, the thunder dragon in the dark cloud roared crazily, and its powerful momentum was amazing.
They roared angrily, and then flew out of the dark clouds, carrying endless momentum, as if they were going to destroy everything below.
This aura was so majestic that it vowed to make him succumb to it, and even meant to destroy the world.
Under such suppressed momentum, Lin Tianming felt very small. For the first time, he felt the oppressive force brought by the general trend of heaven and earth.
"Rumble..."
The thunder dragon roared and soon reached the sky above its head.
At this time, he took a deep breath, and a look of perseverance flashed across his face.
He knew very well in his heart how much hard work he had put in for this day, and he also understood the expectations of his family elders.
What's more, there is no retreat. Either he can successfully survive the catastrophe and become the third golden elixir monk in the family's history, or he will die under the thunder tribulation.
"Hmph... A mere triple thunder tribulation can't stop me at all!"
Lin Tianming looked determined, and after snorting coldly, he immediately used all the defensive weapons on his body.
In an instant, five second-level high-grade defensive magic weapons came out of his hands and quickly turned into several barriers, firmly protecting him in the center.
Looking at it, every one of these defensive instruments is a treasure among treasures, and it is also the last foreign object he can rely on.
At this time, he had no reservations and just wanted to make one last move.
With this belief, these defensive weapons and the Thunder Dragon bombarded each other.
"Rumble..."
In an instant, the two collided head-on, and a burst of fire shot into the sky. A mushroom cloud suddenly rose in the sky, and powerful fluctuations swept over. Even the entire Qingzhu Mountain clan seemed to be shaking slightly.
In the center of the explosion, the defensive weapons above Lin Tianming's head were destroyed one by one, and finally disappeared completely in the flames.
At this time, Lin Tianming's whole body flashed with light, and his physical strength was pushed to the extreme, and he hit the Thunder Dragon's head with both fists.
"Bang bang..."
Several more explosions were heard, and the sky that had not calmed down once again flashed with dazzling light, covering a large area.
In the light, the Thunder Dragon was still very lethal, knocking him down from mid-air and hitting the ground heavily.
However, his power is also very strong, and the energy that explodes with determination is far greater than at any other time.
Under his attack, the Brontosaurus resisted for several breaths, and was finally dispersed by him.
As the thunder dragon dissipated, the dark clouds quickly receded, the strong wind also stopped, and the dark sky temporarily regained some clarity.
