Starting with the Magic Absorption Technique: I swept through the fantasy world.

When the white-haired old man saw this scene, a slight smile slowly appeared on his face. Then he looked up and gazed deeply at the dark clouds above, a hint of worry in his eyes.

"My soul cannot withstand the heavenly lightning... I wonder if this kid can withstand the bombardment of the heavenly lightning. Whether this Nine Dragons Reversal Pill can be successfully made depends on this!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Mu looked up at the sky and was instantly frightened, his face turning slightly pale.

The power of this heavenly lightning was immense; the heavenly lightning I had seen before was nothing compared to the power of this one.

Without hesitation, he solemnly said to the system, "System, I want to extract a skill."

[A skill card has been drawn for the host at a cost of 10,000 spiritual energy!]

[Congratulations, host, on acquiring the Golden Bell Shield and Iron Shirt skills. When used, the Golden Bell Shield and Iron Shirt skills automatically cover the host's body with a layer of Golden Bell Shield, which can withstand all attacks from the soul. Iron Shirt, on the other hand, covers the host's body with a thin film, which can withstand all attacks from external forces, lasting for 15 minutes!]

"This is truly a stroke of luck! This skill came at just the right time," Wang Mu thought with delight. Then, a hint of worry flashed across his face: "I wonder if the duration of this heavenly lightning will exceed my expectations. The spiritual energy I currently possess is only enough for me to try out the skill twelve times, which is about an hour and a half."

Rumble, rumble!

A deafening clap of thunder echoed from the dark clouds, and the lightning bolts flickered even more wildly. Then, the first bolt of lightning struck directly above Wang Mu's head.

Wang Mu activated his Iron Shirt skill, and instantly a thin golden film appeared on his body.

The lightning then struck Wang Mu's body, but it only collided with the Golden Bell Iron Shirt and did not cause any damage to Wang Mu.

After the first lightning strike, the second lightning strike followed closely behind, heavily hitting Wang Mu's body, but it was still blocked by his Golden Bell Iron Shirt technique.

Then came the third, the fourth, the fifth, the sixth...

When the seventh lightning tribulation arrived, Wang Mu was blasted back a step, but he was still unharmed under the defense of his Golden Bell Shield and Iron Shirt. This time, he was only forced to retreat by the powerful force.

The bombardment of these seven lightning bolts lasted for a full quarter of an hour, at which point the duration of the Golden Bell Shield and Iron Shirt technique was exhausted.

Without a word, Wang Mu immediately used his spiritual energy to activate his Golden Bell Iron Shirt for the second time, resisting the approaching eighth lightning tribulation.

"Old man, how many lightning bolts are there? Are you trying to murder me?"

Wang Mu felt like he was about to explode with anger. Although he had received a lot of benefits from this old man, he hadn't been told to endure such a powerful tribulation. Wasn't this just a death trap?

The white-haired old man chuckled and replied, "Young man, don't be in such a hurry. There are forty-nine lightning strikes in total for this seventh-level tribulation. Every seven strikes is a major hurdle. What, are you scared?"

Wang Mu did not say anything.

Then came the ninth... the tenth...

More than half an hour has passed, and Wang Mu is still unharmed.

The old man on the other side was terrified, as if he were looking at some kind of monster.

"Could it be that the power of this seventh-level lightning tribulation has weakened over the years? The forty-second lightning tribulation before was equivalent to the full-force attack of a peak Tribulation Transcending Realm expert. This kid has only just reached the Nascent Soul Realm. How did he manage to do that?"

This is the seventh time Wang Mu has activated the Golden Bell Iron Shirt skill, and he has consumed a total of 80,000 spiritual energy, which has made things even worse for Wang Mu, who was not rich to begin with.

If it weren't for the immense power of this elixir, I would never have expended so much spiritual energy to take this gamble.

At this moment, the dark clouds in the sky had become extremely turbulent, and the lightning within the thunderclouds was jumping faster and faster. Clearly, they were dissatisfied that so many lightning tribulations had failed to kill Wang Mu, and soon they gathered into a ball of lightning and bombarded Wang Mu.

After struggling to withstand the lightning ball, Wang Mu began to gasp for breath.

However, the dark clouds overhead wouldn't give Wang Mu a chance to catch his breath, and the lightning tribulation relentlessly bombarded him.

Five more lightning bolts struck Wang Mu's Golden Bell Iron Shirt heavily. At this moment, Wang Mu was extremely exhausted. Although he had not suffered any damage, the high concentration of his mental energy and the enormous pressure had created the current situation.

"The last one!"

The white-haired old man stared intently at the dark clouds above. He had never truly experienced a lightning tribulation of this level even in his lifetime. This kid was really powerful.

The dark clouds overhead gradually gathered, and an extremely terrifying aura emanated from above. The intensity of this aura had reached the Ascension Realm, far exceeding Wang Mu's current level.

The white-haired old man couldn't help but feel a tight sweat on his brow for Wang Mu.

As all the dark clouds converged, the last of the forty-nine lightning tribulations finally revealed its power: a massive purplish-black lightning ball, surrounded by countless arcs of electricity, suddenly blasted towards where Wang Mu was.

Upon seeing this, the white-haired old man immediately hid far away, fearing that the lightning tribulation would blast him to smithereens if it touched him.

Gazing at Wang Mu, who was at the very center of the lightning tribulation, a sense of unease crept into his heart. This level of lightning tribulation... this kid probably couldn't withstand it.

At this moment, Wang Mu, who was at the very center of the lightning tribulation, stood as steady as Mount Tai against the final lightning tribulation, tenaciously refusing to move his feet. The surrounding flowers, plants and trees were all reduced to dust in the aftershocks of the lightning tribulation. Within a radius of ten miles, there was no other living thing except Wang Mu.

This demonstrates the power of this lightning tribulation, and what is even more worrying is that Wang Mu's Golden Bell Shield and Iron Shirt are also about to end.

This tribulation of lightning showed no signs of ending; on the contrary, it seemed to sense Wang Mu's weakening state and bombarded him even more fiercely, as if it possessed sentience.

Wang Mu's expression eased slightly after gritting his teeth and expending another 10,000 units of spiritual energy to activate his Golden Bell Shield and Iron Shirt once more.

The lightning tribulation, weakened by the Golden Bell Shield and Iron Shirt, lost its previous power. As time passed, the lightning tribulation gradually disappeared, leaving only Wang Mu, covered in sweat, standing in the center.

"I actually... I actually withstood it! Is this a gift from God? I..."

The white-haired old man's soul was filled with tears, and he trembled with excitement as he spoke.

Just as the tribulation ended, a small dragon-shaped soul flew swiftly to Wang Mu's side and affectionately rubbed its little head against Wang Mu's face.
