Chapter 206 Ascending to Heaven in One Step
The dark clouds in the sky grew lower and lower, as if they were about to press down directly on everyone.
Even if it wasn't Liu Buhui, but any of the other bystanders, they could all feel the immense pressure, almost to the point of being unable to breathe.
Even the Marquis of Dingyuan, who was at the third level of the Dharma Aspect Realm, had an unprecedentedly solemn expression at this moment.
As a powerful being at the third level of the Dharma Aspect Realm, Marquis Dingyuan naturally knew the might of this tribulation lightning.
Even a master like him wouldn't dare to rashly face the Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation. Throughout history, many top-tier experts at the third level of the Dharma Aspect realm have died under the Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation.
Although this Five Thunderbolts strike is not as powerful as the Ninefold Thunder Tribulation, it is more than enough to deal with someone at the Acupoint Realm. Not to mention that Liu Buhui is currently isolated from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and cannot replenish his true energy at all.
……
Finally, after a long period of preparation, the thunder from the rolling dark clouds struck down fiercely towards Liu Buhui's head.
The first of the Five Thunderbolts struck down, with ten bolts of lightning as thick as tree trunks.
Liu Buhui was enveloped in billowing purple energy, which formed a giant palm of true energy that shot upwards and forcefully held back the ten bolts of lightning.
……
"Crack!"
After the first round of tribulation ended, a hundred bolts of lightning struck down. Suddenly, Liu Buhui's bright yellow outfit flashed with golden light, forming a huge light shield that completely enveloped Liu Buhui.
The light shield shattered, and Liu Buhui's clothes were torn to shreds. He was shirtless, revealing an incredibly muscular physique.
……
The third round of lightning tribulation became much smaller, no longer as thick as a tree trunk as before, but like small silver snakes.
Although each lightning bolt appeared less intense than the previous ones, the sheer number of lightning bolts in this third round was astonishing. There were over a thousand of them, densely packed together.
Liu Buhui's expression also changed. Holding the Dragon-Slaying Sword, he thrust it upwards and forcefully withstood the third round of lightning tribulation.
……
The fourth round of lightning tribulation struck almost simultaneously with the third round, with thousands of small, snake-like bolts of lightning directly hitting Liu Buhui.
Liu Buhui's hands, gripping the Dragon-Slaying Sword, were covered in blood, and his body trembled slightly. His hair, disheveled from being struck by rolling lightning, was streaked with blood, which trickled down his hairline and across his face.
At this moment, Liu Buhui's face was pale, and with bloodstains all over his face, he looked like a demon crawling out of hell.
……
"What a powerful heavenly tribulation!" Everyone below was shocked and their expressions changed drastically upon seeing it: "How could someone at the Acupoint Realm possibly handle such a heavenly tribulation?"
Everyone had already witnessed Liu Buhui's prowess, having single-handedly fought five of the top ten experts on the Wind and Cloud Ranking. Even someone like him had lost half his life under the four lightning tribulations. If it had been anyone else, even someone like Qin Zhongshan or Xue Bahuang who had opened the Heaven and Earth Profound Gate, they would probably have already died under those four lightning tribulations.
Reaching the heavens in one step is as difficult as ascending to heaven itself! This is absolutely not just a saying. If reaching the heavens in one step were so easy, the ancient sages would not have created the Three-Part Return to Origin method to reduce the difficulty of breaking through to the Dharma Form stage.
The power of the heavenly lightning seemed to grow stronger with each strike, and more ferocious with each round. After four rounds, Liu Buhui's breathing was disordered, his true energy was weak, and he looked like he only had half a life left.
This made onlookers worry – could Liu Buhui really achieve such a feat in one step? If even someone with his level of cultivation couldn't achieve it, who in the world could?
Especially those figures like Qin Zhongshan who had opened the gates of heaven and earth, seeing that Liu Buhui seemed to be at his last gasp, couldn't help but feel a sense of sorrow, like the saying "a rabbit mourns a fox's death."
……
Just then, the final bolt of lightning, the "Five Thunderbolts Strike Down," finally struck.
This final tribulation consisted of only one bolt of lightning, but it was terrifyingly thick—as thick as a small river. It looked as if a long river of thunder had fallen from the heavens.
It seems that Heaven is also enraged and wants to kill this arrogant fool who dares to defy Heaven and wants to ascend to the top in one step during the final tribulation of lightning.
Upon seeing this final bolt of lightning, a hint of despair flashed in Liu Buhui's eyes.
Just then, Marquis Dingyuan suddenly spoke up: "Our ancestor slew the evil dragon, reaching the pinnacle of the mortal world!"
Liu Buhui seemed to have been pulled out of despair by the Marquis of Dingyuan's loud shout.
A resolute, do-or-die look appeared in his eyes as he shouted in a fierce voice, "I am a descendant of our ancestor, born with the countenance of a dragon and a tiger, destined to achieve unparalleled feats. How can your mere heavenly lightning do anything to me?"
The Dragon-Slaying Sword in his hand seemed to sense Liu Buhui's courage and determination, and suddenly it shone brightly.
A phantom suddenly rose from Liu Buhui's body. The phantom wore a nine-dragon jade crown, stood atop a crimson dragon, and its gaze held a disdainful air towards all living beings. Upon closer inspection, its face was none other than Liu Buhui's own!
The phantom figure was holding a large sword, which was none other than Liu Buhui's Dragon-Slaying Sword, magnified hundreds of times!
"It's the image of Emperor Gaozu slaying the dragon!" As a member of one of the twelve noble families of the Northern Han Dynasty, Xiang Boyue was naturally very familiar with the images of the imperial Liu family. He immediately exclaimed, "He has actually condensed the image of Emperor Gaozu slaying the dragon!"
The most powerful martial art of the Liu family of Northern Han is the "Dragon Slaying Technique" passed down by the founding emperor. What Liu Buhui is condensing at this moment is the "Ancestor's Dragon Slaying Dharma Image" that can only be condensed when the Dragon Slaying Technique is cultivated to the highest level!
"He can actually manifest an illusion!" Blood Eight Desolations, standing to the side, was also extremely astonished: "A person who ascends to the heavens in one step is terrifyingly powerful!"
As everyone knows, the first level of the Dharma Aspect realm is a realm of illusion, not yet a true manifestation, and therefore cannot manifest its Dharma Aspect outwards. Yet this Liu Buhui is able to manifest his illusion outwards. Those who ascend to the heavens in one step are indeed incredibly powerful!
……
The ancestral image, wielding a dragon-slaying sword hundreds of times larger, slashed down at the river of thunder, uttering a heart-stirring cry: "Slash!"
With a flash of sword light, the long river of thunder was actually cleaved in two by the Dharma Image of the High Ancestor.
Seeing this, everyone knew that the devastating tribulation of five thunderbolts would likely not be able to defeat Liu Buhui. They had witnessed firsthand the birth of a figure who would rise to prominence in one step, a future supreme expert who was highly likely to reach the Celestial Realm!
