Yi Tianyun did not choose to upgrade Instant Teleportation, nor did he choose to upgrade Void Bloodline, but instead, he directly upgraded his cultivation!
"Ding, beginning to upgrade to the cultivation level of God Monarch, progress at one percent…"
Breaking through from Heaven Monarch cultivation to God Monarch cultivation requires undergoing Tribulation. The moment the upgrade was initiated, a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation immediately descended from the sky, swiftly enveloping the entire area.
At this moment, Yi Tianyun seemed to have gained an extra layer of protection, instantly severing the restrictive force that was suppressing him. Heavenly Venerable Killing God was incredibly powerful, but even he had to cower before the terrifying Heavenly Tribulation!
Heavenly Tribulation is the power of Heavenly Dao Power. In terms of hierarchy, the power of a Heavenly Venerable is supposedly stronger than the power of Heavenly Dao Power. However, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation is different. Even the force of Heavenly Dao Power can erupt with shocking might, enough to make Heavenly Venerable Killing God back away in fear.
"You actually chose this moment to break through?"
Heavenly Venerable Killing God quickly retreated. He had no desire to bear the full force of the Heavenly Tribulation, as it would wound his soul. He was already injured, and if he suffered another blow from this force, it would be even more unbearable.
Venerable Spirit nearby also quickly fled to a safe distance. If they provoked the Heavenly Tribulation, its power would multiply exponentially. It symbolized that the Heavens did not tolerate provocation, even a Heavenly Venerable could be repelled or even slain!
There was no doubt that Heavenly Tribulation was extremely dangerous. However, at times, it could also serve as a life-saving tool. But being grateful for the Heavenly Tribulation was meaningless, it was simply the will of Heaven, which would not allow anyone to interfere with the lives it had chosen to take!
That was the current situation, if Yi Tianyun failed to overcome the Tribulation, he would die. Saying he should be grateful to the Heavens was like thanking an executioner.
"As expected, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation is the strongest."
Yi Tianyun was quite satisfied with this. The Tribulation immediately cut off the restricting force that bound him, giving him extra time to breathe. Then, he raised his eyes to Heavenly Venerable Killing God and sneered, "What's wrong? Not attacking anymore? Weren't you just trying to kill me? Come on then!"
Heavenly Venerable Killing God's gaze turned ice-cold, his anger surging as he roared, "Just wait until your Tribulation is over, let's see if you're still this arrogant!"
He dared not recklessly charge in, knowing that if he was hit by the raging Heavenly Tribulation, he would suffer just like Yi Tianyun. However, he only needed to wait at a safe distance. Once Yi Tianyun successfully overcame the Tribulation, the protective shield would disappear, and at that time, he could easily crush him.
Seeing Yi Tianyun act so defiantly made Heavenly Venerable Killing God furious to the point of explosion. He was a dignified Heavenly Venerable, yet he was being taunted by some insignificant brat and had even suffered severe soul injuries, it was utterly unbelievable.
Logically speaking, Yi Tianyun's soul should have been damaged even more severely. Yet, he was completely fine.
It wasn't that Yi Tianyun's soul was stronger than Heavenly Venerable Killing God's, but rather, he didn't just use a pure soul attack, he had mixed various forces into it, causing Heavenly Venerable Killing God to be injured.
"I am this arrogant! If you've got the guts, attack me now!"
Yi Tianyun patted his chest, signaling Heavenly Venerable Killing God to strike him.
Heavenly Venerable Killing God was so enraged that he immediately launched a strike, hurling a massive wave of Fiendish Energy toward Yi Tianyun. In an instant, it reached him.
Yi Tianyun quickly braced himself for impact. With a loud "Boom!" he was sent flying, but he suffered no actual injuries. In reality, the Heavenly Tribulation had already absorbed most of the force for him.
"This Heavenly Tribulation is actually helping me?"
Yi Tianyun was taken aback. Normally, the Heavenly Tribulation wouldn't interfere like this. Yet now, it was blocking attacks for him, as if it didn't want to see him killed by someone else, it would be an insult to its authority!
At the same time, a sudden bolt of Heavenly Lightning struck fiercely toward Heavenly Venerable Killing God. With a deafening "Boom!", it blasted him away.
The sheer force of the strike was comparable to that of an Upper Heavenly Venerable, sending Heavenly Venerable Killing God flying a great distance before he barely managed to stop himself. His armor, once dazzling, was now in tatters, just this single strike had almost shattered it!
There was no denying it, the Heavenly Tribulation's counterattack was overwhelmingly powerful. No wonder Heavenly Venerable Killing God didn't dare to act recklessly. If he continued like this, he would be doomed.
"Damn it!"
Heavenly Venerable Killing God gritted his teeth and quickly started healing himself. He had thought he found the perfect host body to take over, only to end up choosing a complete disaster.
"Master, are you alright?"
Venerable Spirit quickly flew over, only to be slapped away by Heavenly Venerable Killing God in frustration.
"Get lost! It's all because of you that I brought back this calamity! My soul is wounded because of you!!"
Heavenly Venerable Killing God was beyond furious. He wanted nothing more than to rip Yi Tianyun into pieces, forget about Possession, now all he wanted was to destroy him.
"I'm sorry, Master…"
Venerable Spirit crawled back, kneeling on the ground. No matter how much he was berated or punished, he remained utterly loyal to Heavenly Venerable Killing God, not daring to defy his orders.
Heavenly Venerable Killing God ignored the apology. The only way to vent his fury was to kill Yi Tianyun.
"Just you wait! Once the Tribulation is over, I'll see how much strength you have left!"
He felt utterly humiliated but had no choice but to endure it, otherwise, it would mean certain death.
"You coward! If you've got the guts, keep attacking! You're just a weakling, trash, a disgusting pervert! Hasn't anyone told you your armor looks hideous? And who gave you those wounds? Oh, that's right, I did!"
Yi Tianyun taunted loudly while enduring the relentless Heavenly Lightning. To him, the Tribulation was no longer a challenge, it barely even hurt.
The power had indeed increased significantly, but with his vast array of Bloodline Powers and his Divine Set, the Heavenly Tribulation couldn't even scratch him.
No matter how overpowering the Heavenly Tribulation was, it was still based on Peak Heaven Monarch standards. At most, it was several times stronger than the usual Heaven Monarch Tribulation, even ten times stronger.
But to Yi Tianyun, it was nothing more than an itch.
"You… You…!"
Heavenly Venerable Killing God was so furious he was about to explode. When had he ever been insulted like this before? His prestige as a Heavenly Venerable was completely shattered, and yet, he couldn't fight back!
"Master, once the Tribulation ends, we'll restrain him and torture him properly. Then you can still take over his body!"
Venerable Spirit advised coldly.
"Fine! Once the Tribulation ends, I'll make him pay!"
Heavenly Venerable Killing God felt he couldn't hold on much longer, he needed to Possess a body soon, or his situation would become dire.
Meanwhile, Yi Tianyun remained calm, enduring the Tribulation's onslaught.
"This is the perfect time to refine the Thunder Core!"
He realized that these terrifying Tribulation Thunder were pure Thunder Energy. If he absorbed them, wouldn't he be able to successfully condense a Thunder Core?
And so, he sat down in meditation, absorbing the Tribulation Thunder. With each absorption, the Thunder Core inside him expanded further.
The scene became incredibly bizarre, Heavenly Venerable Killing God stared at him from the side while Yi Tianyun peacefully cultivated, unfazed by the Tribulation. Anyone else would have been scared out of their wits!
