I can gather experience beads

The next morning, the sun had just risen and the sky was still a little hazy.

Cao Rui was quietly floating above a dense primeval forest.

This is the original site of Shijia Village. Because no one has lived here for a long time, it has degenerated into a primeval forest.

He gently patted the storage bag on his waist, and rays of light flashed, and pieces of high-quality spirit stones flew out of it.

These top-grade spirit stones exude rich spiritual energy, and each one is worth a fortune.

Cao Rui took a deep breath and waved his hands. A powerful magical power surged out of his body and swept through like a torrent.

The spiritual energy in the top-grade spirit stone was forcibly extracted by his magic power and continuously integrated into his body for the experience beads to absorb.

As time went by, Cao Rui felt that his magic power was constantly improving, and the experience value of the Shenyuan Jue experience beads also began to grow at an astonishing rate.

Ten thousand, twenty thousand, thirty thousand... The number of high-quality spirit stones decreased dramatically, but Cao Rui did not stop absorbing spiritual energy.

Finally, after consuming a total of 55,000 high-quality spirit stones, Cao Rui felt that the experience value of the Shenyuan Jue experience bead had been filled.

He let out a long breath, and a trace of fatigue flashed in his eyes.

This consumption is really too exaggerated. If it were not for the situation, Cao Rui would never use high-quality spirit stones to practice so extravagantly.

Generally speaking, people would use spirit stones in other more efficient ways, such as ripening spiritual medicines or setting up formations.

This can better play the role of the spirit stone and improve the efficiency of cultivation.

However, the current situation left Cao Rui with no choice but to adopt this most direct but also most wasteful method.

"It's time to trigger the thunder tribulation." After taking a deep breath, Cao Rui clicked on the experience bead of the Shenyuan Jue in his mind without hesitation.

In an instant, a powerful and familiar purple torrent surged throughout his body, bringing an intense feeling of comfort.

As this power surged, the Nascent Soul in Cao Rui's body began to undergo amazing changes.

The Nascent Soul, which originally looked like a baby, grew rapidly and gradually revealed its childhood appearance.

At the same time, his spiritual awareness also improved greatly.

The divine consciousness, which originally had a range of 40,000 miles, doubled to an astonishing 80,000 miles.

However, due to the influence of the curse, the range of his spiritual awareness that he can currently use is still limited to about ten thousand miles.

But despite this, the spiritual consciousness in the Spirit Transformation Stage still showed a qualitative transformation.

At this moment, Cao Rui's spiritual awareness became more acute and powerful, and he had a more accurate insight into the subtle changes in the surrounding environment. At the same time, his ability to perceive the changes in all things was greatly enhanced.

In this state, he seemed to be able to see the laws of all things in the world.

Faintly, Cao Rui felt the existence of a mysterious energy between heaven and earth that was different from spiritual energy.

He knew in his heart that this was the vital energy of heaven and earth at a higher level than spiritual energy!

For cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage, when they use their supernatural powers, they can naturally guide and use the energy of heaven and earth to fight against the enemy, thereby greatly increasing the power of their supernatural powers.

Boom!

The sky was covered with dark clouds, as thick as ink, which seemed to be about to crush the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a crisp explosion sounded, like the sound of porcelain breaking, which made people's hearts tighten.

Then, the originally tightly closed dark clouds slowly cracked open a black gap.

This black crack was getting bigger and bigger, like a wound in the sky, constantly extending outwards.

And in this black gap, purple thunder began to brew.

After surviving this thunder tribulation, Cao Rui will be able to officially advance to the Divine Transformation Realm!

Cao Rui raised his head and looked directly at the thunder tribulation with a firm gaze, without the slightest fear in his eyes.

He decided to use his own body to withstand the first thunder tribulation, trying to temper his body to the spiritual realm.

Soon, the first thunderbolt struck.

boom!

The divine thunder tribulation was fast and fierce. Experiencing it personally was more profound than the feeling Cao Rui had when he was watching Situ Ling going through the tribulation!

The purple thunder tribulation was like a ferocious beast, carrying endless power and destructive force, and it smashed heavily into Cao Rui's body.

Although Cao Rui's physical body had reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, his skin was still torn apart and blood splattered under the bombardment of thunder.

Cao Rui gritted his teeth and used all his strength to practice the Vajra Body technique.

As the spell was activated, a layer of light colorful glazed color appeared on the surface of his body, like an indestructible armor.

Under the impact of thunder and lightning, his body was constantly destroyed and reborn, and each destruction made his body stronger.

In this way, Cao Rui successfully survived the first thunder tribulation with his tenacious perseverance and strong will.

Rumble!

The second thunderbolt soon fell, and this time, Cao Rui's body was almost smashed to pieces.

The whole person looked miserable.

"I have to use my magical powers to weaken the power of the thunder!" Cao Rui said to himself.

While he was using the Vajra Glass Body Technique to try to resist the attack of the thunder, he quickly activated his magical power - [Thunder Attraction].

This magical power was obtained by Cao Rui from the Great Leiyin Temple. It can use magic power to form a conductor around and direct lightning to other places.

In this way, you can greatly reduce the stress you endure.

As [Thunder Attraction] was performed, a faint light appeared around Cao Rui.

In the light, there seemed to be countless tiny electric currents flowing, as if it were a shield made up of lightning.

When the third thunderbolt struck, the shield immediately took effect, directing part of the lightning to other places.

With the help of [Thunder Induction], the power of the third thunderbolt was greatly reduced, and the damage to Cao Rui's body this time was obviously much smaller than the previous two times.

Although the body was still badly injured.

Boom! The fourth thunderbolt fell heavily like a mountain. Even with the help of [Thunderbolt], Cao Rui's body, which had just recovered, could not withstand such a strong impact and was severely injured in an instant.

"Eat another one, and then activate the second magical power..." He gritted his teeth and persevered, and finally managed to block the fifth thunder tribulation.

However, this resistance cost him a huge price, and his body would definitely not be able to recover before the next thunder tribulation.

However, the experience value of the Vajra Glass Body Experience Bead skyrocketed to 30%.

At this moment, in order to ensure that he could successfully survive the thunder tribulation, Cao Rui had to give up the idea of ​​continuing to use the thunder tribulation to temper his body.

Therefore, Cao Rui decisively decided to use his second magical power again - [Hunyuan Spirit Shield].

This magical power was obtained by him from Lingxiao Sword Sect. It is an ancient and mysterious magical power.

If it weren't for the powerful effect of the experience beads, an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator would find it difficult to truly master the essence of this magical power even if he spent hundreds of years.

Buzz...Cao Rui quickly mobilized the magic power in his body, converted it into pure spiritual power, and highly compressed the spiritual power through special methods, finally forming a layer of chaos shield around him.

Immediately afterwards, the sixth thunder tribulation arrived as expected.

Most of the thunder power of this thunder catastrophe was first guided away by [Lightning Induction], and then the remaining part hit the Chaos Shield hard.

Surprisingly, this seemingly thin chaos shield actually firmly resisted the impact of the thunder tribulation and blocked it firmly outside.

[Hunyuan Spirit Shield] supported Cao Rui in passing the seventh and eighth thunder tribulations.

It was not until the ninth thunder tribulation that it could no longer hold on and shattered with a loud bang!

The remaining thunder force hit Cao Rui's body which had just recovered. The power of the ninth thunder tribulation was already extremely terrifying. Even the remaining thunder force caused Cao Rui's strong flesh and skin to be destroyed by half in an instant.

While activating the Vajra Glass Body to temper his body, he quickly condensed a new [Hunyuan Thunder Shield].

At the same time, Cao Rui began to prepare to use his third magical power - [Great Five Elements Rotation].

This magical power was not created out of thin air, but was the result of Cao Rui's long-term research and practice over the past decade.

It combines a variety of five-element defensive magical powers and is combined with Cao Rui's own five-element rotation technique. It can be said to be the most powerful defensive magical power he can master combined with his own spiritual root talent.

When the tenth thunder tribulation came, Cao Rui had become a man covered in blood. Without hesitation, he took the lead in performing the [Great Five Elements Rotation] to decompose the power of this thunder.

A colorful vortex appeared in front of him, continuously decomposing and consuming the thunder of the tenth thunder tribulation.

This vortex seems to possess magical powers, able to transform the power of the heavenly calamity into one or several elements of the five elements.

Looking from a distance, it seemed as if a colorful energy rain was falling around Cao Rui, which made people marvel.

[Great Five Elements Rotation] This magical power combined with Cao Rui's own innate five elements spiritual roots exerted extremely strong power, and actually transformed the tenth thunder tribulation in one breath!

Before Cao Rui could even breathe, the eleventh thunder strike came crashing down.

The power of this thunder tribulation increased again. No matter how strong [Great Five Elements Rotation] was, it was still a little stretched. But with the help of [Attracting Thunder], this thunder tribulation was still safely passed.

Cao Rui swallowed the recovery elixir as if it were free.

The mana consumption required to use these magical powers to resist thunder disasters is also astonishing.

Fortunately, Cao Rui himself was an alchemist and had sufficient elixirs prepared.

The twelfth thunder tribulation, after passing through the two magical powers of [Great Five Elements Rotation] and [Attracting Thunder], still had some strength left to hit the [Hunyuan Spirit Shield], but the remaining strength was not enough to destroy the [Hunyuan Spirit Shield].

The thirteenth thunder tribulation, [Hunyuan Spirit Shield] shattered.

Situ Ling died in the fourteenth thunder tribulation.

This thunder calamity broke the [Hunyuan Spirit Shield], but Cao Rui relied on his strong physical strength to forcibly withstand the remaining thunder power with his body.

At this point, Cao Rui has surpassed Situ Ling.

The thunder tribulation would not give him too much time to think, and the fifteenth thunder tribulation came down with a devastating pressure.

This time the color of the thunder has turned into dark purple, mixed with strands of black. It is obvious that its power has been increased to a higher level.

As the thunder tribulation fell, the surrounding space was torn into tiny cracks, emitting a heart-pounding aura.

Cao Rui's heart tightened when he saw this scene, but he did not retreat.

He gritted his teeth and used all his strength to activate the [Great Five Elements Rotation] in his body, trying to dissolve most of the thunder force brought by the fifteenth thunder tribulation.

At the same time, he used the [Thunder Attraction] technique to guide the remaining thunder power to disperse in all directions to avoid causing greater harm to himself.

Boom! However, despite Cao Rui's best efforts, this last thunderbolt was too powerful.

In the end, some of the thunder power broke through the defense and hit Cao Rui's [Hunyuan Spirit Shield] hard.

With a crisp "crack" sound, the [Hunyuan Spirit Shield] broke apart instantly.

Immediately afterwards, purple-black thunder mercilessly struck Cao Rui's body.

Zizizi... A sharp sound was heard, and Cao Rui's skin and muscles were quickly melted away by the thunder, leaving only a thin layer hanging on the skeleton.

But at this moment, the energy of the thunder tribulation was finally consumed, and the Vajra Glass Body in his body began to operate at full capacity. A powerful regenerative force surged out from deep in his bone marrow, and pink buds grew on his body at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"I almost didn't make it..." Cao Rui was still in shock, and his exposed heart was beating violently.

The sixteenth thunder tribulation has begun to fall.

Cao Rui no longer hesitated and summoned the [Heavenly Seal]!

The surface of the huge [Heavenly Secret Seal] is densely engraved with runes, and the runes on it contain all of Cao Rui's insights into the rune array system.

This Heavenly Secret Seal also represents the power of the magic array runes mastered by Cao Rui.

boom!

The thunder struck, and the runes around the [Heavenly Secret Seal] all flashed with light.

The once huge Tianji Fortress has now turned into a Tianji Seal that is only tens of meters in size. After being condensed, its density has reached an extremely terrifying level.

"It's done!"

The sixteenth thunder dissipated, and the Heavenly Secret Seal remained intact. Cao Rui breathed a sigh of relief.

When Cao Rui refined the Heavenly Secret Seal, he had no other requirements, only three characteristics! Hard enough! Hard enough! Hard enough!

All runes work towards this feature.

In addition to defense, the Tianji Seal can be used as an offensive spiritual weapon to hit people, and it is estimated that it will hit them accurately!

The seventeenth purple-black lightning struck, and the Heavenly Secret Seal trembled slightly. The runes on its surface were damaged a lot by the terrifying power of thunder.

But it doesn’t matter. There are only one hundred runes on the outside, and Cao Rui also engraved the same defensive magic array runes inside.

hum!

The seventeenth thunder tribulation dissipated, but the Heavenly Secret Seal still stubbornly blocked Cao Rui. At this time, Cao Rui's flesh had grown back and he had been successfully recast.

In the cracks in the sky, rich purple thunder is constantly gathering, as if it is fully preparing for the final blow.

These thunders gradually gathered into a huge ball of energy, and the color became darker and darker, and finally turned into pure black.

This powerful force is enough to awe any creature in the netherworld.

Suddenly, a huge bolt of thunder fell from the sky and hit the ground without any warning.

This was the eighteenth thunderbolt, which was more powerful and fiercer than the previous seventeen thunderbolts. Facing such a sudden attack of terrifying thunderbolts, Cao Rui subconsciously used his magic weapon - the Heavenly Secret Seal.

As Cao Rui continuously injected his own magical power into the Tianji Seal, the Tianji Seal began to emit a dazzling light and quickly formed a solid protective shield.

However, despite the powerful defensive power of the Tianji Seal, it still seemed somewhat fragile in front of the eighteenth thunder.

Crack! With a crisp cracking sound, cracks appeared on the shield of the Heavenly Secret Seal.

Immediately afterwards, these cracks expanded rapidly and the entire Tianji Seal began to tremble.

Finally, accompanied by a loud bang, the Heavenly Secret Seal broke in the middle and broke into four pieces.

And these four fragments disappeared in an instant and dissipated into the air.

This top-level spiritual weapon was ultimately destroyed by the thunder tribulation.

At the same time, the eighteenth thunder did not stop attacking, but continued to strike downwards.

"It has weakened a lot. I will definitely be able to make it through!"

Cao Rui frantically used his magical powers [Great Five Elements Rotation], [Lightning Attraction], [Hunyuan Spirit Shield]...

Two spirit swords flew out of Cao Rui's body, and his Eye of Insight opened, constantly shuttling between the thunders, trying to destroy the weaknesses of the heavenly thunder.

This is the last thunder tribulation. Even if he openly defies the Way of Heaven, it is impossible for Heaven to send down another thunder tribulation to punish Cao Rui!

After layers of consumption, when the [Hunyuan Spirit Shield] shattered, the power of this last thunder tribulation finally reached the range that Cao Rui could bear.

Cao Rui smiled faintly, and the next moment the black power of thunder pierced through Cao Rui's body.

Severe pain hit him, and his bloody, skeletal body fell from the air.

In the sky, the black space slowly disappeared, bright sunshine poured down from the bright sky, and everything returned to normal.
