Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

For example, even now, knowing that the lightning tribulation could very well shatter his physical body, he still feels no fear whatsoever.

"But this state of mind is not completely in harmony with the physical body, so it cannot resist the suppression of heavenly power. Once the mind and body are in harmony, it will no longer be affected... This requires training."

After pondering for a moment, Xi Heng finally let out a soft sigh, as if letting go of his obsession, and relaxed his spiritual power, allowing the spiritual fire protecting him to dissipate.

The lightning in the sky had accumulated to its full extent, and the first heavenly tribulation would fall in two or three seconds.

She ignored everything and simply sat cross-legged, waiting quietly.

Feeling no fear whatsoever, in the brief few seconds before the lightning struck, his state of mind gradually permeated his physical body.

The feeling of insignificance faded a little, and in the next instant, the sky brightened.

The wildly dancing, coarse golden serpent seemed to open its giant mouth, coiling for a moment amidst the explosion in the sky, creating a struggling, rough ring.

Then the lightning bolt shot downwards, slashing straight down at Xi Hengzheng's location.

The girl gently tilted her head back, raised her arms, and opened her hands, as if to receive something from the heavenly tribulation.

In an instant, a golden snake, several meters thick, fell and covered her entire body without any deviation.

Within the golden light and thunder, consciousness and body were instantly annihilated.

After a while, the booming sound arrived, and as the sound continued until the end, the world fell into silence.

Golden lightning spread, and the sparks of electricity in the air gradually disappeared as they flickered.

Only a few spiritual objects and the remains of the array remained on the ground; the white-haired girl was nowhere to be seen.

However, as time passed in silence, the space fluctuated noticeably two seconds later. The black ash on the ground, which had been smashed and charred by the lightning, faded away, the shattered parts re-bonded, and the cracks neatly disappeared.

As the surrounding spiritual objects that had been upgraded recovered as time reversed, Xi Heng's figure also appeared from the center of the formation. At first, he was transparent and blurry, but then he became clearer and closer to being a solid entity.

Reborn from the past, Xi Heng looked up at the sky once more. The dark clouds did not dissipate because of her brief disappearance, and the primordial energy of heaven and earth accompanying the lightning tribulation continued to condense.

Another golden snake began to dance, gathering even more and more calamity power.

Xi Heng looked back and sensed that although the lightning tribulation had annihilated her physical body, she had also absorbed a lot of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth during the process, which replenished her physical cultivation.

"This perfect rebirth method consumes so much energy..." she muttered to herself.

Even if it aligns with the Heavenly Dao of Time, there are still nodes on the Sea of ​​Time, making continuous use impossible.

"However, as long as there is some gain, that's good."

The sky exploded with another deafening roar, and the second lightning tribulation condensed several times faster.

Currently, Xi Heng's physical strength and mental state have improved, and the suppression of Heavenly Power is somewhat less.

With a sudden flick of his sword finger, the spiritual fire and his mental power combined to form multiple spatial barriers, protecting the area above.

It flashed with golden light and then crashed down with a deafening roar.

As a sizzling sound echoed in the sky, a massive burst of golden light exploded onto the nine-layered spatial barrier that Xi Heng had just forged.

The lightning tore through space, shattering seven layers in the blink of an eye.

The eighth layer of shield froze for a moment, then shattered as well.

It was only at the thickest ninth layer that it barely managed to stop the tremors, and it could break at any moment.

With the lightning so close, the pressure from the heavens intensified once more, making Xi Heng feel as insignificant as an ant again.

As her mind returned to normal, her senses returned to normal, but that momentary hesitation was enough for the second lightning tribulation to break through her defenses and strike her body.

Golden light enveloped the earth once more, causing it to tremble violently as if struck by a meteorite.

A dozen seconds later, the booming sound subsided and the lightning gradually dissipated. Xi Heng, who had been shrouded in the golden snake lightning for so long, was left with only a small fragment of spirit fire.

The remaining white flames, like will-o'-the-wisps, slowly merged and grew larger, once again carrying the primordial energy of heaven and earth brought by the surrounding lightning tribulation to form Xi Heng's original form.

"It's a bit hard to stop..." she clicked her tongue.

The golden light in the sky gathered again, several times faster and more intense than the previous two times.

"Moreover, it is clearly getting stronger and stronger."

Having experienced two heavenly tribulations, she vaguely discerned the type of lightning tribulation before her—it was the tribulation of the Golden Dragon Coiling in the Nine Tribulations.

This calamity consists of nine bolts of lightning, with each three bolts constituting a major calamity, and their power being several times stronger than the previous two.

It is unstoppable even after nine tribulations, and it has a stronger destructive power against shields constructed by spells and spiritual treasures of heaven and earth, almost having a 'spell-breaking' effect.

Having spiritual items readily available is insufficient to withstand this calamity. The person undergoing the calamity must possess a strong physical body, and relying primarily on their physical body to resist it is the best choice when facing such a special lightning tribulation.

However, Xi Heng is not a body cultivator, so he still needs to use the spiritual items he needs.

"I probably can't withstand the next one, but my physical strength and cultivation will gradually increase with the infusion of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. If it doesn't work this time, I'll just reload the save and try again."

Xi Heng flicked his finger and activated Lei Zhenzi, hearing a series of crackling sounds flashing before his eyes.

The spiked circle, resembling the head of a meteor hammer, flashed with blue lightning and immediately floated into the sky, drawing upon a very small portion of the lightning tribulation power.

The tail of the golden snake dancing in the sky was attracted by it, and a few sparks of electricity hit Lei Zhenzi.

The circular main body split into countless fragments, with electric light flashing between each fragment. The whole continuously expanded, contracted, and rotated, transforming into a giant spherical lightning bolt that blocked the path between Xi Heng and the Heavenly Tribulation.

Immediately afterwards, the golden serpent, now fully formed, danced gracefully, its long horns transforming into a dragon, uttering a long roar of thunder.

The head was lowered, and golden light shot out from the eyes as it fell again.

Loud Xiyin.

Xi Heng felt his vision was covered by light, and all his senses were masked by extremely intense energy fluctuations. The light lasted for a long time, and he no longer had the ability to sense sound.

After an unknown amount of time, the excessively intense flashes gradually subsided, and half of her body had been destroyed by the stray bolts of lightning that had overcome the obstacles.

The white flames flickered as it repaired its body, but before it could even exhale, the fourth lightning tribulation had already arrived.

The deafening roar echoed across the world, and Lei Zhenzi, who was floating in the air, was mostly shattered.

The severely injured Xi Heng tried to rebuild his physical body, but the heavenly tribulation also had the power to hinder his recovery. What was originally an instantaneous recovery now required at least ten seconds.

However, Xi Heng still has a countermeasure: he can accelerate his own time and shrink it back to a mere instant.

Unfortunately, the power of time cannot be used as a shield to directly resist or to directly stop the Heavenly Tribulation; otherwise, this tribulation would have been much, much easier.

During his recovery, Xi Heng continued to refine the primordial energy of heaven and earth, and his physical cultivation rapidly improved, catching up with his original body's realm.

Thus, the fifth heavenly tribulation descended.

Lei Zhenzi was shattered, and countless fragments scattered.

Xi Heng then used his spiritual fire to conjure five phoenix tails as a defense, but they were instantly destroyed.

Despite the physical attack, he managed to withstand it for a few seconds and gather even more of the world's vital energy.

But just as she had initially expected, it turned into wisps of smoke and vanished without a trace.

The power of time ceased to be generated, and Xi Heng's vision went dark. When he opened it again, he had returned to the save/load space.

Upon arriving here, the tension that had been weighing on my mind for so long, under the oppressive power of heaven and earth, finally eased, and I let out a breath.

If she had put in her full effort and used even more techniques to withstand that last blow, she should have been able to continue.

However, even if they withstand it, they cannot escape the sixth and even more severe heavenly tribulation.

Therefore, Xi Heng calmed down and began to face the tribulation mission with the mindset of a protracted battle.

Instead of using too much mental energy at the beginning, one should continuously refine more and more spiritual energy between the save and load cycles, and improve one's physique to the point where it is completely sufficient to withstand the final heavenly tribulation, or even exceed the standard strength for the Dao Integration stage, before wholeheartedly advancing to the next level.

"As for now..."

Xi Heng clicked the save button and saved another plant, the Seven Flames of Li Mei.

Then his gaze shifted and landed on the words "load save" again.

"After all, every time I get struck by lightning, I receive an amplification from the energy of heaven and earth, so let's reload the save file a hundred times first." She nodded and chose the last file.

A touch of the fingertips sends a swirling sensation around the entire body, and vision dims.

When she opened her eyes again, she was already in the process of loading her save file. The tribulation clouds in the sky had gathered and formed because she had already merged with the Dao but had not yet passed her tribulation.

Dark clouds obscured the sun, and a golden snake danced incessantly through the narrow gaps in the clouds.

When she faced this calamity again, the oppressive power of heaven and earth no longer made her feel too insignificant, and the impact was greatly reduced.

I believe that before long, this feeling of oppression will no longer have any effect on her.

Minor flaws caused by one's state of mind will gradually be smoothed out as the game progresses.

Looking up at the turbulent thunder, one realizes that it is not merely a trial or tribulation, but also a mine containing a vast amount of primordial energy.

She will continue to extract the vital energy within the expected hundred cycles to replenish her own strength.

In this way, perhaps after the tribulation ends, I can become a fairly strong existence among Dao-merging cultivators.

Xi Heng raised his hand and gently grasped it towards the golden lightning on the horizon.

And lightning, as if invited, fell down.

……

Volume 1: Chapter 389, A Spark and a Flash

Dark clouds obscured the sky, while golden lights flashed and vibrated incessantly.

Xi Heng let the shadows of the dark clouds envelop him, his pupils reflecting the shimmering golden light of the sky.

The inexhaustible primordial energy of heaven and earth converged on the dark clouds, transforming into a lightning tribulation.

Then lightning struck, its bright flashes landing on Xi Heng's body, but it could no longer instantly annihilate his flesh as it had before.

Within ten seconds of the first lightning strike, Xi Heng disintegrated into flesh and blood, and was reduced to drifting white flames.

After the lightning tribulation dissipated, the white flames enveloped the scattered spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and together they reassembled the physical body.

This was her fourth time loading a save file during this tribulation.

During her first tribulation, she managed to withstand the fifth lightning strike with all her might.

By this point, they had already managed to stop the sixth tribulation, which had been greatly enhanced and was now at a much higher energy level.

His physique was also much stronger than when he first reached the threshold of Dao Integration.

The heavenly tribulation continued, and every ten seconds or so it would briefly gather before transforming into a rough, serpentine shape and slashing down.

She was almost familiar with the rhythm of the thunderclaps before each tribulation. The muffled thunder would replay in her ears several times, and she could tell which booming or low sound was the prelude to the actual tribulation.

The girl felt at peace listening to the thunder.

As the next lightning bolt struck, its light blazed for a dozen seconds before she was reduced to a wisp of white flame.

However, the white flames immediately reformed, and time accelerated around them, offsetting the much-suppressed physical recovery speed.

As his body coalesced, Xi Heng sensed his physical strength continuously increasing. At the same time, during the intervals between tribulations, he quietly refined the abundant spiritual energy of heaven and earth within his body.

Other cultivators will only have a few experiences of undergoing tribulation lightning, during which their minds will be focused on resisting the tribulation. Few with exceptional talent will be able to spare their minds in this extremely dangerous situation and refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that comes with the tribulation lightning.

Although one can gradually refine after advancement to lay the foundation for Dao integration, it is naturally not as good as refining immediately.

Xi Heng accelerated the process, making the refining speed much faster.

Once the initial connection was established, she casually looked up at the vast sky.

"Come again."

As soon as he finished speaking, the familiar rumble of thunder sounded.

The third golden dragon twisted and turned, then roared before slashing straight down.

In Xi Heng's eyes, where time was accelerating, everything around him became extremely slow, with only the rapidly approaching lightning in the sky still having some speed.

She gently raised her hand and snapped her fingers.

With a snap, the white flames expanded rapidly, forming five phoenix tails that rippled with spatial energy, blocking the sky.

As the cultivation level of Dao merged with the primordial energy of heaven and earth adapted, the power of the spells was slightly amplified, making the spatial techniques, which were originally difficult to withstand lightning tribulations, more usable.

With the power of time, all kinds of spells can be completed in an instant, even as fast as a thunderbolt.

Xi Heng even changed more than a dozen finger techniques along the way to construct a multi-layered shield of golden light magic, which was connected with white flames to enhance the defensive power.

Immediately afterwards, the third great lightning tribulation struck, breaking through layers of protection.

The bottommost layer, closest to her body, held out for another five seconds before it was finally broken.

Xi Heng used her protective body to resist, as the lightning continuously annihilated her flesh and blood, while at the same time she urged the white flames to restore her physical body.
