"This is the Yin Fire Tribulation, it also has nine layers, specializing in burning people's physical bodies!" Elder Ning explained to the experts in the clouds,
"The Surging Spring acupoint under the soles of the feet, the Perineum Life-and-Death orifice, the Palm Labor Palace acupoint in the palm, and the Hundred Meetings Acupoint on the Crown are the Four Extremes; the Qi Sea, the Cinnabar Field, and the Sea of Wisdom are the foundations of the Way; the Mansion Within and the Physical Body are the fleshly body. This fire specializes in burning vital parts of the human body, arising from the vital parts and ending at the vital parts, it cannot be extinguished or eliminated, it can only be resisted with the physical body."
"Resist with the physical body? His physical body is so powerful..." said the peerless beauty, "There should be no problem, right?"
"Hard to say," Elder Ning shook his head, "After all, this is an annihilating tribulation, the exact power is hard to judge. But if we make a horizontal comparison with the previous thunder tribulation, who could withstand the final bolt?"
The experts in the clouds recalled the earth-shattering blood-red thunder pillar from before, and they all fell silent.
They were all geniuses of the Lingnan Immortal Sect, their cultivation bases and talents were the pinnacle existences in this land, but when they tried to put themselves in that tribulation lightning, could they survive?
The answer was negative.
Then, if that fire tribulation was as terrifying as the previous thunder tribulation, or even unavoidable, they knew that they would not be able to withstand it either.
In midair, Qin Ran put Chasing the Wind down, letting Chasing the Wind land on the ground, so as not to be affected by the fire tribulation. He then activated his movement techniques, sat down cross-legged in midair.
The fire of the Surging Spring still burned, the fire of the Palm Labor Palace arose, followed by the Perineum and Hundred Meetings fires.Qin Ran sat cross-legged there, flames raging over his entire body.
He circulated his techniques, repairing his physical body, while also recalling the basic principles of the Divine Firmament Body Refining Art in his mind, hoping to apply it to the fire tribulation.
Water and fire, which restrains the other in the end?
This was hard to say, because... whoever was stronger would restrain the other side!
Unfortunately, Qin Ran's spiritual root was water, and the spiritual power circulating in his body was water attribute spiritual power... What's more, he was at a disadvantage.
So he was also restrained by the thunder tribulation in terms of attributes.
Under such circumstances, what could Qin Ran do?
He could only use the gentle nature of the water attribute spiritual power to repair the scorched flesh that was burned by the fire tribulation, instead of directly confronting the fire tribulation. He would repair the parts burned away by the fire tribulation after it passed.
If he could continue to struggle like this, it wouldn't be too bad.
Unfortunately, it wasn't long before...
His Qi Sea caught fire.
With flames arising in his Qi Sea, his already inadequate spiritual power was completely exhausted.
The Four Extremes were still burning, he could no longer summon strength to repair them. Fires of tribulation rose in his Cinnabar Field and Sea of Wisdom.
A man of fire in midair, without any struggling or moaning, the fire burned silently and motionlessly.
But this seemingly hopeless man had reached an extreme, entering destruction in this silent nothingness.
Chasing the Wind watched from below, his eyes full of worry, he paced back and forth, but couldn't help much.
Fires of tribulation also rose on his Physical Body...
"Alas..." Elder Ning sighed softly, "It's over."
Whether it was the outsider, the body snatcher, or the outworldly demon, it was already over.
The most fatal thing had never been the raging thunder, but the silent flames.
"The thunder tribulation is over?" The five-tailed demon fox unplugged her ears with her paws, pulling her drooping head out of the ground and standing her tails back up. She looked dirty towards the heavens' tribulation, still shrouded in black clouds, "The treasure is in there?"
She was still somewhat hesitant. The innate danger perception etched into the demonic bloodline made her feel the danger, she didn't walk towards the tribulation clouds... she didn't walk very fast...
The silent fire still burned in midair. Chasing the Wind walked on the ground, then suddenly stopped and looked up at Qin Ran.
"Dad's not dead, is he?!"
The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed. A wind arose under his feet as he pounced towards the fire in the air...
"Crackle!"
In the silent heavenly tribulation formation, there was suddenly a sound of electric arcs. Chasing the Wind was startled, and quickly stopped, looking up at the human-shaped fire in midair. The flames that were originally silent and waveless suddenly became violent, jumping and crackling with electricity.
"Dad's not dead yet?"
Chasing the Wind felt relieved and landed on the ground.
"What's going on there?" asked the peerless beauty from afar.
The jade-faced man frowned, uncertain. "It looks like tribulation lightning?"
"Tribulation lightning? How could there be tribulation lightning?"
"Or maybe residual from the previous tribulation lightning?"
The lightning and fire on that cluster became more and more intense, and the flames were also disturbed.
"Have you noticed..." Elder Ning suddenly discovered something abnormal, "the tribulation fire is decreasing?"
"Is it?" Reminded by Elder Ning, the experts in the clouds looked closely. Someone pointed out, "The person is already dead, there's not much left to burn, right?"
"Doesn't seem like it..." The jade-faced man shook his head.
If the person was burned away, then the body should become smaller, the fire would become smaller as a whole, but over there, the fire became smaller while the overall size remained the same.
It looked as if the flames were being absorbed by the person!
"No way!" His eyes widened suddenly as he recalled Qin Ran refining his body with the thunder tribulation. "He can't be refining his body with the fire tribulation, can he?!"
When the jade-faced man said this, the experts in the clouds also thought of the previous thunder tribulation body refining, thinking it a possibility.
The peerless beauty raised doubts: "Could it be that he predicted early on that there would be a fire tribulation, so he also prepared a fire tribulation body refining technique?"
Who would have thought there would be fire tribulation after thunder tribulation? This didn't seem very likely.
The jade-faced man hesitated. He remembered Qin Ran previously changing the human body refining technique into the little white tiger body refining technique in just a moment... He felt another possibility more likely - that upon discovering the fire tribulation, Qin Ran modified the thunder tribulation body refining technique on the spot, using the same principles, into a fire tribulation body refining technique.
But... that was also hard to accept, he shook his head.
Yet that was exactly what Qin Ran did!
What's more, in a short time, he even optimized this technique. Without spiritual power to guide spiritual energy, he could still refine his body.
Why? Because he had made sufficient preparations, he was very familiar with this thunder tribulation body refining technique. He had also researched enough techniques...
When his Qi Sea was burned and he didn't have a single drop of spiritual power left in his body, in order to survive, he had to adapt.
It was under such circumstances that he discovered there was another kind of energy still existing in his Qi Sea dantian.
That was...
Thunder tribulation!
In his golden core, especially in his natal magic treasure, the Nine Lands Cauldron, there was still a lot of residual thunder tribulation. He tried driving the thunder tribulation with the modified technique, and...
It worked!
Although the tribulation thunder was no more gentle than spiritual power in his meridians, and brought some stinging pain, but this body had just been tempered by tribulation thunder. What was there to fear from this bit of tribulation thunder?
In fact, using the tribulation thunder to drive the fire tribulation body refining technique was even more effective than using spiritual power to drive the thunder tribulation body refining technique...
The fire tribulation gradually decreased, from vigorous raging flames, to a struggling few clusters, and finally, disappeared without a trace.
Qin Ran opened his eyes, flames still in them. He smiled at Chasing the Wind, "It's alright now!"
"He found the only way to break through." Elder Ning said.
