Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space-Chapter 329 - 31: The Demon Cultivator Startled by the Heavenly Tribulation

Chapter 329: Chapter 31: The Demon Cultivator Startled by the Heavenly Tribulation

Soon, some more time passed.

Lin Jing frowned, looking up at the sky.

At this moment, the small island where Lin Jing was located was shrouded in darkness.

Because the tribulation clouds had already enveloped the entire island within.

These tribulation clouds were three times the size of those from Elder Yu’s tribulation.

At this time, within the tribulation clouds, Lin Jing saw countless flashes of lightning.

The sound of “rumbling” was also constant.

Yet, the tribulation lightning did not descend.

It stayed this way, which made Lin Jing somewhat uneasy.

Just at that moment.

Suddenly.

The lightning within the tribulation clouds disappeared in an instant, and the rolling tribulation clouds also paused.

Then, with a “crack,” a loud noise was heard.

A white tribulation lightning struck down directly from the tribulation clouds.

The thickness of this tribulation lightning completely submerged Lin Jing.

Lin Jing had never anticipated that the power of this first lightning strike would be so strong.

The tribulation lightning fell from the clouds, directly striking Lin Jing.

It was at this moment that Lin Jing activated his Overlord Divine Physique, hastily absorbing the power of this tribulation lightning, and gathering it within the acupuncture points of his body.

At this time, the dark light reflecting off Lin Jing’s body shone even brighter.

It seemed that it was this layer of dark light that had reduced some of the power of the descending tribulation lightning.

This first strike of tribulation lightning lasted only for a moment before dissipating.

After the pillar of lightning had dissipated, Lin Jing’s body was suddenly covered with dense lightning arcs, enveloping his entire body.

These lightning arcs were formed from the Heavenly Tribulation Power that Lin Jing had just absorbed into his acupuncture points.

The Overlord Divine Physique was indeed extraordinary, and although Lin Jing had never seen other Body Refining Techniques, he felt that they were probably different from the Overlord Divine Physique.

After all, Lin Jing had felt from the beginning of his cultivation that the creator of this technique must be no ordinary individual.

When the lightning arcs on Lin Jing’s body slowly diminished and then disappeared.

The sound “rumbling” was heard from the sky as the tribulation clouds kept making noise.

Afterward, there was another “crackling” sound.

This time, another bolt of tribulation lightning struck down.

This second bolt of tribulation lightning was almost the same as the first one.

But this second bolt of tribulation lightning lasted for twice as long.

Under this second strike of tribulation lightning, the layer of dark light flickering on Lin Jing’s body became even brighter.

And Lin Jing also activated the Overlord Divine Physique to its full strength, continuing to absorb the power of the tribulation lightning.

It wasn’t until the tribulation lightning ceased that Lin Jing, just like before, released the tribulation lightning power accumulated in his acupuncture points, repeatedly tempering his body.

However, just at that moment…

Two figures suddenly appeared from afar, flying towards the island.

These two people, even when they were still very far from the island, had already stopped in their tracks.

The two of them looked at the tribulation clouds above the small island, their brows deeply furrowed.

“Brother Li, shall we go for it?”

One of the men in black robes, looking at Lin Jing who was undergoing tribulation, turned his head to ask the other man who had a scar on his face.

The scar-faced man looked at the rolling tribulation clouds, and his furrowed brows never relaxed.

“Who exactly is the one undergoing tribulation?”

“To be able to trigger such a fierce Heavenly Tribulation.”

The man in black robes also looked towards the tribulation clouds covering the entire island and spoke with furrowed brows,

“From this energy, it should only be the Golden Core Tribulation, yet this Golden Core Tribulation is indeed a bit exaggerated.”

Afterward, the two of them turned their gaze to Lin Jing under the tribulation clouds.

However, because they were too far away, they couldn’t make out Lin Jing’s appearance and could only see his robust stature.

But they also didn’t dare to move any closer, fearing being affected by the Heavenly Tribulation.

“Brother Li, with that figure, could it be a Body Refinement Cultivator?” the man in black robes said.

“Very likely…”

The other scar-faced man nodded slightly, then continued,

“Look at his side, there isn’t a single Magical Treasure to protect himself.”

“Hiss…” the man in black robes inhaled sharply as he observed Lin Jing.

“Indeed…”

Just at that moment, another bolt of tribulation lightning struck down from the sky.

This third bolt of lightning lasted even longer than the second one, a full three moments.

Upon seeing this tribulation lightning, the two people watching Lin Jing’s tribulation from a distance were utterly dumbfounded.

Such fierce tribulation lightning, even merely looking at it, made their scalps tingle.

It wasn’t until the tribulation lightning had vanished that Lin Jing, who remained in place, was still intact.

Seeing this scene, the two onlookers fell silent.

Because the two had not concealed their presence when they arrived, Lin Jing was aware of their arrival.

However, Lin Jing, who was currently undergoing tribulation, truly did not have the energy to concern himself with the two of them.

Moreover, the two observers were only watching from a distance and had not launched an attack on Lin Jing.

Therefore, Lin Jing also did not pay attention to them.

After the third bolt of tribulation lightning, Lin Jing continued to temper his body just as before.

At this moment, blood had begun to seep from Lin Jing’s body.

It was the result of the third thunderbolt of tribulation.

However, these wounds weren’t large, and after not too long, they healed on their own.

Ever since he began cultivating the Overlord Divine Physique, Lin Jing’s physical strength had increased, and at the same time, his self-healing ability had also improved significantly.

For such small wounds, there was no need to attend to them, they would heal automatically before long.

After the third thunderbolt had passed, the fourth was delayed in its arrival. The tribulation clouds in the sky loomed over Lin Jing’s head like dark clouds pressing down on a city.

Currently, within those tribulation clouds, the rumbling sounds were incessant, and amidst the tribulation clouds, not only were there white bolts of tribulation thunder, but also some blue arcs of lightning rolling continuously with them.

“Crack!”

A sudden sound, both urgent and swift.

Within the sky’s tribulation clouds, the thunderbolt was no longer just white, but also interwoven with blue lightning.

This thunderbolt struck down directly at Lin Jing.

In that instant, Lin Jing’s flesh burst open with numerous wounds, unlike those caused by the third thunderbolt.

The longest of those wounds was several inches long.

This thunderbolt came swiftly and vanished just as quickly.

After the thunderbolt disappeared, Lin Jing once again circulated his cultivation technique, utilizing the power of the Heavenly Tribulation to temper himself.

Under Lin Jing’s continuous tempering, his body gradually began to transform, and the dark light reflecting on his body grew increasingly bright.

Seemingly ready to begin evolving.

At this time, in the distance, the two cultivators who were watching Lin Jing undergo his tribulation fell silent.

They had seen Golden Core Tribulations before, but never one as strong as this.

Just as the two of them were silent, another urgent and swift thunderbolt slashed down.

This thunderbolt, carrying even more of those blue arcs, almost completely enveloped the white thunderbolt in the middle.

Soon after this thunderbolt disappeared.

Even from a great distance, the two could clearly see that Lin Jing’s entire body had almost turned red.

At this moment, the man in the black robe asked the scarred cultivator named Li,

“Brother Li, that man has been injured; shall we still go through with this heist?”

As he spoke, he continued to gaze in Lin Jing’s direction, adding,

“Moreover, I see no protectors around this area.”

The scarred cultivator named Li furrowed his brows, pondered for a moment, and then spoke,

“Let’s leave. This job is beyond us.”

“His Heavenly Tribulation is too strong, we cannot interfere at all.”

“Besides, this is our first encounter with such a tribulation. We’re not clear on the specific range of its response. If we’re not careful and get caught in the tribulation, I fear both of us will be reduced to ashes.”

After the scarred man spoke, the man in the black robe also furrowed his brow, looking towards the island where Lin Jing was facing his tribulation.

These two…

Were actually the demon cultivators spoken of by Yan Wanfei, who specially targeted those undergoing tribulation.

There are many cultivators in the Demonic Monster Sea, and many places are extremely chaotic.

And many cultivators, wishing to undergo their tribulation, would choose a quiet place where no one would disturb them.

This included many loose cultivators.

Most of these loose cultivators were loners with few friends, if any at all.

And these demon cultivators specifically chose to strike at them during their tribulation, either threatening or outright attacking to cause trouble for those in the middle of their tribulation.

In order to gain benefits from those undergoing tribulation.

As the tribulating cultivators needed to deal with the Heavenly Tribulation above, they dared not be negligent.

So, they would generally agree to any terms put forth by these demon cultivators.

Of course, these demon cultivators were mostly not to be trifled with. Sometimes, even after gaining benefits, they would still interfere to cause the cultivator’s tribulation to fail, or even to be utterly destroyed.

Such incidents commonly occurred in the Demonic Monster Sea.

Let alone those loose cultivators without anyone to act as their protectors, even sometimes when there were protectors, if the protector’s cultivation was not high enough, these demon cultivators would dare to kill and rob nonetheless.

However, they had now encountered Lin Jing.

The Heavenly Tribulation that Lin Jing was undergoing was unheard of by them.

The span of the tribulation clouds above him was the widest they had ever seen, and if they approached too closely, it was easy to become enveloped by the range of the tribulation, which could lead to ‘fire burning one’s own body’— unintentionally undergoing tribulation themselves.

Therefore, they did not dare to rashly approach and disturb Lin Jing’s tribulation.

After all, though they wanted to kill and plunder, they did not want to risk their own lives in the process.

Watching yet another thunderbolt descend, even from this great distance, the man in the black robe could still feel the terror of the thunderbolt.

At that moment, an idea flashed in the mind of the man in the black robe, who then said to the scarred cultivator named Li,

“Brother Li, I have a plan.”

The scarred cultivator turned his head to look at the man in the black robe and asked,

“What plan?”

The man in the black robe said,

“Actually, we don’t have to disturb him at all. Seeing his condition, the likelihood of him getting through this Heavenly Tribulation doesn’t seem very high.”

“We can set up a surveillance array plate nearby to monitor his every move.”

“If he fails the tribulation, once the Heavenly Tribulation dissipates, we can go onto the island to check for things like Storage Bags left behind.”

“If he succeeds, he will surely be gravely wounded. At that point, we can simply commit murder and robbery.”

“If he truly emerges unscathed, then we’ll just leave. There’s no need to find discomfort for ourselves. Anyone who can get through such a tribulation unscathed is not someone we can afford to provoke.”

After finishing, the man in the black robe glanced once again at Lin Jing, who had been injured anew, and said,

“However, judging by the looks of it, that third possibility doesn’t exist.”

The scarred cultivator, hearing this, nodded and replied,

“Perfect, we’ll do as you suggest…”
