Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 317 - 312 Deathly Heavenly Tribulation
Two months later, the outline of the Star Bridge in Ding Huan’s Sea of Consciousness had become much clearer.
He felt that as long as he further understood the Daoist Rhythm between the star systems, he would naturally progress into the Star Bridge Realm.
Each Cycle of the Great Universe Technique not only increased the robustness of his True Yuan but also deepened his understanding of the Cosmic Rules.
For Ding Huan, this was normal.

The difference between his practice of the Great Universe Technique and other Cultivation Techniques lay in the fact that his promotion was very easy once he grasped the realm.
He didn’t need the assistance of Medicine Pills, which are usually required to break through limits in other Cultivation Techniques.
When Ding Huan perceived the Daoist Rhythm of the Star Bridge and began trying to materialize the first Star Bridge through his own comprehended Daoist Rhythm, the Heavenly Tribulation thundered down.
During his passage through the Thunder Tribulation in the Star Domain, Ding Huan had experience, and that tribulation was akin to being tickled, posing no threat to him at all.
Ding Huan didn’t pay much attention this time either, even though the Thunder Tribulation of the Star Bridge Realm was indeed much more formidable than that of the Star Domain Realm.
However, his strength had also greatly increased compared to that in the Star Domain Realm.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
To Ding Huan’s surprise, the first wave of Thunder Tribulation consisted of only three arcs.
Based on his experience with past tribulations, he usually faced the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulation,
meaning he would have to withstand eighty-one Thunder Arcs to complete the tribulation process. Was this set of three arcs underestimating Ding Huan, or was it just a waste of time?
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The first Thunder Arc was as thick as a baby’s arm and struck Ding Huan’s shoulder, the second arc struck his back, and the third one directly targeted the top of his head.
Crack! Through the Great Universe Technique, Ding Huan crazily gathered True Yuan and threw a punch.
He didn’t even take out his Separation Spear because he felt that only by physically withstanding the Thunder Tribulation could he gain the most benefit.
With a crackling sound, all the bones in Ding Huan’s fist were shattered by the Thunder Arc.
Had he not withdrawn his hand in time, his fist would have likely been pounded into fragments.
In terror, Ding Huan frantically swirled his True Yuan within his Defense Domain, trying to block this first Thunder Arc.
A mist of blood burst forth as one of Ding Huan’s arms was blown away by the Thunder Arc.
This was after Ding Huan had swirled his True Yuan wildly and had punched out once, and then used his Defense Domain to block part of the force; otherwise, Ding Huan suspected that this single Thunder Arc could have shredded his arm into fragments.
Ding Huan’s scalp tingled fiercely; he was certain this was nothing like the previous Thunder Tribulation in the Star Domain.
If he continued like this, he couldn’t withstand even the first three Thunder Arcs of this wave.
Seeing the second and third Thunder Arcs hurtling down, Ding Huan dared not delay.
He recklessly urged on the iron pot in his Sea of Consciousness, while simultaneously attacking the second Thunder Arc with his Separation Spear.
Boom!
Crack!
The second Thunder Arc shattered Ding Huan’s Separation Spear, and the third Thunder Arc struck the iron pot, emitting a dull sound.
Blood seeped from the corners of Ding Huan’s mouth as he gathered his Divine Will to reattach his severed arm.
Lightning flickered in the sky, sending a chill through Ding Huan’s heart.
He was certain that the iron pot could not block the remaining seventy-eight Thunder Arcs for him. Was he fated to fall under this Thunder Tribulation today?
Ding Huan himself was extremely puzzled – why was there such a huge difference between the Thunder Arcs of the Star Domain Realm and the Thunder Tribulation Arcs of the Star Bridge Realm?
The Great Universe Technique ran wildly, quickly healing Ding Huan’s injuries while his cultivation level rose swiftly.
The spirit source auras of the Star Sky Spiritual Vein and the Ultimate Spirit Vein transformed into surging spiritual river waves around him, but these could not address the fundamental problem for Ding Huan.
The lightning of the Thunder Arcs almost lit up the entire Hidden Sword Mountain, followed by six Thunder Tribulation Arcs crashing down.
These six Thunder Tribulation Arcs covered Ding Huan’s entire body, leaving him no place to hide.
He used the iron pot to shield the top side, hoping it could block more Thunder Tribulation Arcs for him. At the same time, Ding Huan rolled up an unknown material from the Star House.
This material, obtained from Earth, appeared to be a huge chunk of metal. Since it could not be refined into a weapon, Ding Huan had always carried it with him.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Three Thunder Arcs were blocked by the iron pot, and two hit the huge metal chunk. Ding Huan could only throw out another punch against the last arc.
The violent True Yuan collided with the Thunder Arc, scattering brilliant lightning.
However, Ding Huan dared not continuously resist the Thunder Arc with his fists, and had to withdraw his hand after striking the arc.
Crack! Ding Huan’s fist bones were once again shattered by the powerful Thunder Arc.
Since Ding Huan had promptly withdrawn his hand, the residual impact of the Thunder Arc struck his waist.
This arc easily penetrated Ding Huan’s waist and pinned him to the ground.
Ding Huan spat out a mouthful of blood while frantically running the Great Universe Technique to heal, simultaneously absorbing spirit source to refine his Star Bridge Daoist Rhythm.
He swallowed a mouthful of Ten Million Year Old Sea Marrow, and with the help of the Great Universe Technique, his injuries healed ten times faster than before.
Sensing the continuous accumulation of Thunder Tribulation Arcs in the sky, Ding Huan was thankful he had obtained the Ten Million Year Old Sea Marrow in the Fourth Sea depth.
He had never imagined that with his regenerative capabilities, there would come a day when he would need to use the Ten Million Year Old Sea Marrow.
This treasure, where a single drop could revive the dead or restore flesh to bone, was consumed by Ding Huan in mouthfuls.
As his injuries healed, Ding Huan had more and more of his Star Bridge Daoist Rhythm merged, and his Star Bridge became clearer.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The third wave of Thunder Tribulation Arcs crashed down, and Ding Huan just hoped that this wave would not exceed six arcs; if it did, he simply could not withstand them.
To Ding Huan’s dismay, this wave clearly exceeded six arcs.
A total of nine Thunder Arcs crashed down.
Ding Huan wildly ran the Great Universe Technique, utilizing both the iron pot and the massive iron block, while also bringing out the Iron Drum from his ring.
Not just that, the Fei Yan Sword and over a hundred Defensive Talismans were also deployed by Ding Huan.
His Sea of Consciousness was robust; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to summon all these things.
Such a terrifying Thunder Tribulation Arc—just two strikes on his body would have been overwhelming, and three could be dangerous.
Even for Ding Huan, with his formidable Divine Will, it was exceedingly difficult to summon so many Magical Treasures at once.
One must know that among the Magical Treasures he had summoned, only the Fei Yan Sword had been refined; the others were not, making them extremely challenging to control.
Boom, boom, boom! Thunder Arcs struck the iron pot like giant logs crashing against a city wall.
The iron block once again shielded Ding Huan from a Thunder Arc, and the massive Iron Drum didn’t disappoint.
A Thunder Arc struck the drum, and the deep drum sounds seemed to want to tear the heavens apart, almost shattering the entire Hidden Sword Mountain.
The Fei Yan Sword, like the iron pot, shattered two Thunder Arcs.
Sadly, the Fei Yan Sword wasn’t a Defense Treasure; it had innate shortcomings in defending against Thunder Arcs.
The last two Thunder Arcs tore through the walls set up by Ding Huan’s Defense Talismans and then struck him.
Ding Huan was not alarmed but delighted.
His over one hundred Defense Talismans, though reduced to nothing, had blocked the strongest attacks of the two Thunder Tribulation Arcs.
Crack! Crack!
Ding Huan heard his bones continuously shattering, and he was thrilled.
These were his lightest injuries in this Tribulation so far.
Taking advantage of his minor injuries, Ding Huan swiftly constructed the Daoist Rhythm of the Star Bridge using the Great Universe Technique, gradually forming its outline.
The fourth wave of Thunder Tribulation Arc blasted down.
To Ding Huan’s surprise, this fourth wave consisted of only six Thunder Arcs.
He was now more stable.
Boom, boom, boom!
Six Thunder Arcs turned into deadly blue light sweeping down; Ding Huan relied on the iron pot to block three, the Iron Drum to take two, and the iron block one…
Ding Huan felt extremely frustrated.
Had he already refined the iron pot, would he still need the Iron Drum and the iron block?
Or even need to use the Fei Yan Sword?
His body was clad in iron, yet it was all half-baked.
The best among them was the Iron Drum, having refined only three Prohibitions. The iron block was originally supposed to turn into a Magical Treasure, but it was still in its primitive state.
The iron pot was meant to be refined into a Defense Treasure, but not a single Prohibition had been refined.
No, he hadn’t even touched the edge of the Prohibitions.
Crack—the iron pot was blasted away by just one Thunder Arc.
This Thunder Tribulation Arc was even more powerful than the previous ones by a level, and as Ding Huan frantically perfected the Daoist Rhythm between the Star Bridges in his Sea of Consciousness, he hurriedly grabbed all his Defense Talismans and threw them out again.
Boom…
Crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle!
A series of dense Daoist Rhythm explosions sounded, and Ding Huan’s Iron Drum was also blasted away, and the unknown iron block was similarly struck.
Three successive Thunder Arcs hit Ding Huan.
Even though the Defense Talismans had absorbed some of their power,
his body still had several bloody holes blasted through.
Even with Ding Huan’s strong recovery abilities, he soon found himself soaked in blood.
Ding Huan quickly swallowed two mouthfuls of Ten Million Year Old Sea Marrow, desperately using the Great Universe Technique to heal.
More terrifying Thunder Tribulation Arcs were still brewing in the sky.
Looking at the impending Thunder Tribulation Arcs, Ding Huan saw some despair in his eyes.
If he couldn’t break through the Star Domain into the Star Bridge Realm, he definitely wouldn’t survive the next wave.
When he could barely move, Ding Huan grabbed back the Iron Drum and the iron pot.
The Ten Million Year Old Sea Marrow was indeed a treasure; despite such severe injuries, flesh torn and bones and organs shredded,
he was still rapidly recovering under the Cycle of the Great Universe Technique.
Boom, boom, boom! The fifth wave of Thunder Arcs had fallen.
Ding Huan sighed.
Now he wondered, if he couldn’t survive this Heavenly Tribulation, would he be reborn again?
Then Ding Huan shook his head, feeling it unlikely that he could be reborn.
Why he was reborn last time, he still hadn’t figured out.
Watching a Thunder Arc strike the iron pot, Ding Huan decided not to push for the Star Bridge any further but crazily refine the iron pot.
The Cycle forming between the Great Universe Technique and the iron pot captured the first Prohibition of the iron pot the moment the Thunder Arc struck.
This was the first time Ding Huan had felt the Prohibition inside the iron pot.
Without the falling Thunder Arc, he knew refining this Prohibition would have been just a dream.
Now, however, he wanted to use this Thunder Arc to strike at the Prohibition.
Ding Huan was astonished; under the Cycle of the Great Universe Technique, the power and Daoist Rhythm of the Thunder Arc were all directed onto the Prohibition of the iron pot.
Just that one strike, and the Prohibition vibrated intensely.
Then the second and third Thunder Tribulation Arcs all blasted onto the iron pot.
Through the Cycle between the Great Universe Technique and the iron pot, Ding Huan’s feeling of the Prohibition became clearer and clearer.
