Chapter 525: Chapter 56: Surviving the Thunder Tribulation, Stepping into the Unity Stage!

"Sigh, indeed... As the cultivation and physical body continue to grow, I have also reached the limit of the Spirit Realm Jade Dew..."

Lin Chen sighed softly in his heart.

The Spirit Realm Jade Dew is not an ordinary treasure of heaven and earth; no matter how much is consumed, its potency will not diminish.

However, the energy contained within the Spirit Realm Jade Dew has its limits.

This was not so obvious when Lin Chen was in the Divinity Transformation and Returning Void stages.

But upon reaching Returning Void Perfection, when his physical body reached the Muscle Refining Realm, the feeling became more evident.

A very simple principle, a severely injured, dying mortal can be reborn with just one drop of Spirit Realm Jade Dew, even transforming and extending life.

But for a cultivator of the Integration stage, it requires at least hundreds of drops of Spirit Realm Jade Dew to recover from serious injuries.

Because the higher the cultivation, the higher the level of life.

It’s harder to get injured, but once seriously injured, the cost of recovery is much greater.

Lin Chen prepared over a hundred thousand drops of Spirit Realm Jade Dew with this in mind.

He knew long ago that this celestial tribulation of the Integration stage would be a tough battle.

Once he steps in, Lin Chen would be unstoppable.

The entire Cultivation Realm, including the Spirit Realm, unless a Mahayana or even an elder of the Returning Void stage intervenes, no one can stop Lin Chen’s plans over the Five Continents.

"Moreover, it’s not just about the Unity Stage; if this Lightning Tribulation is successfully crossed, the Martial Arts Realm will surely make a huge leap forward."

"Maybe, he could leap straight into the Qi Refining and Blood Refining Realms!"

Lin Chen had a slight expectation in his heart.

He consumed five hundred drops of Spirit Realm Jade Dew, and his physical state returned to its peak once more.

After several thunder tribulations, Lin Chen’s Martial Arts Realm was getting closer and closer to Tendon Refining Realm Perfection.

But there wasn’t much time for rest, as the Eight-Nine Thunder Tribulation fell immediately.

Boom!

There was a thunderous sound as lightning struck Lin Chen.

Lin Chen let out a painful cry.

His body trembled and was charred black in an instant.

"Pain, so painful..."

Lin Chen clenched his teeth; the pain from this thunder tribulation was not only in the flesh but also in the divine soul.

It was fortunate that Lin Chen had taken the Perfect Soul Protection Pill in advance, otherwise directly contacting the tribulation would have severely injured his divine soul.

But under the protection of the Perfect Soul Protection Pill, while Lin Chen’s soul was in pain, there wasn’t too much damage.

One must comprehend the pain that ordinary people cannot bear, in order to glimpse the full view of the Great Path!

Lin Chen gritted his teeth in his heart.

He consumed another five hundred drops of Spirit Realm Jade Dew.

One breath, two breaths...

Lin Chen furrowed his brow, noticing that the speed of his recovery was noticeably slower.

The power of the Eight-Nine Thunder Tribulation was immense!

Lin Chen was gravely injured, almost impossible to recover in an instant.

At this speed, it seems unlikely that the wounds could recover within five breaths.

Lin Chen gritted his teeth and simply took another three hundred drops of Spirit Realm Jade Dew.

It took a full four breaths before Lin Chen’s wounds were fully healed.

And for the Eight-Nine Thunder Tribulation, the interval between each strike is merely five breaths apart.

This means that Lin Chen doesn’t have much time to adjust.

"It’s really quite uncomfortable..."

Lin Chen grimaced, enduring the pain.

The physical body at the Great Success of the Muscle Refining Realm was still one step away from Perfection.

Perhaps he would have to endure a few more Eight-Nine Thunder Tribulations.

At this moment, he could only grit his teeth and endure.

...

Meanwhile, several miles away.

Wang Lishan, Elder Long, and others watched Lin Chen crossing the tribulation, all with trepidation.

"This... Yue Saint, if things go wrong, can you intervene?"

Wang Lishan hurriedly asked, with his cultivation, he could no longer see through the power and situation of this thunder tribulation.

After hearing this, Yue Saint furrowed his brow.

He took a deep breath and said with some difficulty:

"The power of this thunder tribulation... is indeed very unusual."

"Even for me, it might be hard to save Lin Chen..."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately turned pale.

Yue Saint is the first strong among the Human Race.

If even he isn’t confident in saving Lin Chen, then how exaggerated must the power of this thunder tribulation be?

The most critical issue is that this makes the thunder tribulation an uncontrollable factor.

If anything unexpected happens to Lin Chen, what then?

Everyone’s hearts were in their throats, but at this time, there was nothing they could do.

Perhaps, they could only silently pray for Lin Chen...

Yue Saint remained calm, his eyes never leaving Lin Chen as he crossed the tribulation in the distance.

He believed in Lin Chen more than anyone present.

In merely twenty to thirty years, he had reached the Fourth Realm of Martial Saint, approaching the Fifth Realm.

No one understood Lin Chen’s talent and aptitude better than Yue.

This level of talent and speed in cultivation, even thousands of years ago, was unmatched among Human Race’s top warriors like Long.

He believed that such a prodigy would definitely not fall due to a mere thunder tribulation.

At the same time, there was a sentence Yue Saint did not say aloud.

"After this tribulation, the mightiest among the Human Race may change hands..."

"This child’s strength may already surpass mine."

While feeling emotional, Yue Saint also felt a sense of relief, a feeling of having someone accompanying him on this long road.

Being the top warrior of the Human Race for a thousand years, garrisoning the First Martial Realm for a thousand years.

Yue was lonely, but now, on this path of protecting the Human Race.

A towering tree was rapidly growing, enough to stand alongside him.

Perhaps soon, this tree would grow to cover the sky, sheltering both him and the entire Human Race under its canopy.

"This feeling, it’s not bad at all!"

Yue Saint murmured.

...

Meanwhile.

The Eight-Nine Thunder Tribulation continued to fall.

The second, third, fourth...

Lin Chen endured unprecedented pain, striking at the soul, with every few breaths.
