Chapter 092: The Cultivation Method Exposed

"Just as I thought, he's absorbing the energy from the thunder tribulation. What kind of cultivation method is this?" Gu Mo observed carefully for a moment, then stood completely dumbfounded, muttering in disbelief.

This cultivation method was too heaven-defying. It could absorb thunder tribulation, so one would never have to worry about falling during a heavenly tribulation. Thunder tribulation was the most terrifying heavenly punishment for cultivators, and even some peerless experts feared it.

"I must obtain the method... I must obtain it. I might not be unable to become a Divine Son in the future... Divine Son!" Gu Mo was nearly going mad, unable to believe what he was seeing. Boundless greed constantly corroded his mind; he wanted to take the cultivation method for himself.

At this moment, Yang Tian's outer skin had almost turned silver. The thunder arcs were suddenly manifested, coiling around his body. This was the energy of the heavenly tribulation, startling those around him.

A cultivation method that could absorb thunder tribulation—they had never heard of such a thing. Now that Yang Tian's physical body had manifested it, they had to believe it. If Yang Tian got out alive, it would trigger chaos among the various families, who would force him to hand over the method.

"Yang Tian has really stirred up a hornet's nest this time."

The vast majority cast extremely fervent gazes at Yang Tian. Qing Yuan's plump face wrinkled into a ball. The cultivation method was too terrifying; even Qing Yuan's heart trembled.

"He has stirred up a hornet's nest. What I fear is not the Eastern Continent, but the entire continent..." Xing Hao smiled bitterly. This cultivation method was too heaven-defying; it should not appear in the world.

"That's impossible?" Upon hearing this, Shan Qu shook his head. There were also cultivation methods that could absorb thunder tribulation, but to arouse the greed of the entire Eastern Continent was a bit much.

"However, Yang Tian's method is much more powerful than those. Even a martial artist can absorb thunder tribulation—that's too abnormal." As if remembering something, Shan Qu nodded vigorously.

Thunder tribulation was the most feared heavenly punishment for cultivators. To be able to refine heavenly punishment was astonishing. Qing Yuan and the others firmly believed that Yang Tian was not destined for a short life. They seemed to see Yang Tian's path: mountains of corpses, blood-soaked earth...

Yang Tian had recovered most of his injuries, surpassing his previous strength. Sensing the extremely scorching gazes, Yang Tian was startled and glanced at the people around him.

"I've really stirred up a big mess this time." The corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily. The War Heaven Art might attract the attention of some reclusive old monsters, and even experts would be unable to resist interfering.

"It seems I'll have to lie low for a while after the Martial Dao Mountain ends." Yang Tian sighed, then immersed himself in cultivation.

In the sky, black clouds churned, the atmosphere oppressively tense. Arm-thick thunderbolts continuously pierced through the clouds, each one surpassing the previous in power.

Boom! The thunder tribulation descended, scorching and terrifying. Yang Tian met it head-on, his black hair wildly dancing, and punched out!

Bang! Without any hindrance, Yang Tian's body was sent flying, his skin split open, large patches of bone exposed—an unbearable pain.

He roared and sat cross-legged. Inside Yang Tian's body, he drove the thunder arcs onto his bones, using only a small portion to temper his skin and flesh.

Fortunately, Yang Tian had obtained five Heavenly King Treasure Heart Pills and many precious healing spirit pills from Wang Long.

His entire body was undergoing transformation. Every bone was wrapped in silver light, as if being tempered by thunderfire. The strength of his bones was skyrocketing.

"Since it's already exposed, let the storm come more fiercely." A surge of wild bloodthirst suddenly welled up in his heart. Yang Tian took out the jade bottle containing the Life Spring Water, quickly dripped two drops, and then put it away.

The fleeting life force attracted countless gazes. Extremely fervent eyes watched as Yang Tian's body recovered at a terrifying speed, radiating a dense life force that was frighteningly rich.

"What was that just now? How could it have such rich life force?" Many people discussed it. Yang Tian's recovery speed was too fast, shocking them.

"Probably some kind of heavenly material or earthly treasure," some speculated, concluding that the life spring water was too terrifying; no one thought of that possibility.

"He's really bold." Qing Yuan and Xing Hao exchanged glances, helplessness in their eyes. Although it was a byproduct, some great clans had many people nearing the end of their lifespans. Such a treasure would cause trouble.

The dense life force washed over him again and again. The wounds on Yang Tian's body healed rapidly. Every tempered bone emitted a precious light. As the thunder tribulation's power continued to refine them, the strength of his bones soared.

Yang Tian radiated a very powerful life force. His heart beat strongly and steadily, each beat like a great drum being struck.

This time, Yang Tian took only the time it takes to drink two cups of tea to recover from his physical injuries, reaching the peak of his essence, energy, and spirit.

Within the pitch-black clouds, the leaping thunder arcs grew increasingly intense, and rumbling sounds came frequently.

Boom! A thunder serpent roared down. The moment the silver light swept across the sky, it collided with Yang Tian's body. He was sent flying, his whole body emitting green smoke, large patches of bone faintly visible.

Yang Tian gritted his teeth and stood up. He dripped two drops of Life Spring Water in succession, and his physical injuries healed frantically. His body was now almost completely transformed into silver-white, with streaks of thunder arcs constantly leaping on his flesh.

"What is this thing?" The rich life force appeared again. Gu Mo frowned, pondering what treasure Yang Tian was using that allowed such rapid recovery.

Rumble! Yang Tian's physical body was terrifyingly strong. Every inch of muscle inside, after being tempered by the thunder tribulation, became increasingly crystalline and translucent. Especially the river of blood and qi floating above his qi sea; strands of life force flowed into it, making the entire river of blood and qi more condensed, containing terrifying life force.

"If the thunder tribulation ends, I should be able to break through to the next realm, right?" Sensing the change in the river of blood and qi, joy surged in Yang Tian's heart. As long as his foundation was solid, he could even break through several minor realms in succession.

Boom! The seventh thunder tribulation descended. Yang Tian's body was sent flying, instantly disheveled. He used the Life Spring Water again. Now, his outer skin was almost completely transformed into silver-white.

"This thing again. What treasure possesses such abundant life force?" Gu Mo pondered on the side, his desire to capture Yang Tian growing stronger. Yang Tian was like a mobile treasure trove, making him unable to resist greed.

"Haha, the last heavenly thunder." Qing Yuan and Xing Hao exchanged glances, joy flashing in their eyes. Yang Tian had the Life Spring Water and could refine thunder tribulation; the tribulation could no longer harm him.

"That's not necessarily true." Upon hearing this, Shan Qu muttered, his heart also tense.

Boom! The eighth heavenly tribulation descended, twice as powerful as the seventh. Yang Tian's hand was instantly shattered, and his aura withered to the extreme. Many were shocked; such severe injuries would take months to recover.

"Yang Tian, you must die!" Li Hongtao was furious. He saw Yang Tian's body recovering frantically again; the shattered hand was solidifying, and the life force suddenly became dense.

"The thunder tribulation is about to end." Everyone's gaze converged on the sky. The oppressive thunder tribulation was almost completely dissipating, and the surrounding ancient qi slowly recovered.

"No." One person frowned, looking at the sky.

"How is that possible?" Another person saw an anomaly emerge in the sky and said incredulously.

"How can there be a ninth heavenly thunder!" Qing Yuan didn't believe it, but the power in the sky was slowly gathering. In the history of the Eastern Continent, those who had passed eight heavenly thunders were few and far between, and the ninth heavenly thunder had never been triggered by anyone.

"Haha, this must be divine punishment. Even the heavens don't want that little beast to live." Li Hongtao's mood turned around, and he laughed wildly, almost dancing with joy.

"Divine punishment?" Upon hearing this, many looked at Li Hongtao, not believing it. Divine punishment was only triggered by those with extremely powerful cultivation, whose power could destroy heaven and earth, so the heavens did not allow them to break through.

A vast pressure locked onto Yang Tian. Yang Tian recovered his cultivation and opened his eyes. A dazzling silver light shot into the sky.

"How can there be a ninth heavenly tribulation?" Seeing the energy gathering in the void, the ancient qi for dozens of miles around was frantically converging. The entire sky was pitch-black, and countless fierce beasts trembled in fear, prostrating on the ground.
