Chapter 303: Fun Is Starting?

The first Tribulation Lightning bolt fell from the clouds rather quickly and stuck Wang Xiong. It was a bit underwhelming for him as he realized all of the impacts had been absorbed by the armor and he only got the necessary lightning that was needed to crack his core.

After the first bolt fell, the people finally came to terms with their situation.

"RUNNNNNN!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!" The people started screaming in fear.

Some of them leaped off the seats while others did their best to go through the stairs, but none of them dared to fly, for the fear that they would be struck by a stray bolt of lightning.

Even the elders didn't dare to stand there and swiftly took out their defensive spirit tools before retreating.

"What do we do now, elders? This tribulation is happening out of the confines of a tribulation platform and we have far too many people in its radius." One of the elders said.

"THIS WANG XIONG HAS GONE MAD! HE'S NOT ONLY GOING TO KILL HIMSELF WITH THE TRIBULATION, HE'S ALSO GOING TO TAKE US WITH HIM!" The two core disciples finally realized.

The thing was, even if they were Nascent Soul realm cultivators and had gone through the tribulation themselves, they had done so in a very planned manner, ensuring the best level of safety.

Wang Xiong here though, was being extremely reckless. Not only was he risking his life undergoing tribulation so suddenly but he also did so in the presence of hundreds of other people, which would probably lead to the backlash from the heavenly tribulation.

Thankfully till now, the tribulation had not considered them to have interfered in the breakthrough, and thus they had not been struck by lightning. But if Wang Xiong made any moves in this time and came close to them, they would no doubt be caught within it.

~boom~

The second tribulation bolt came and struck Wang Xiong, cracking his core further. Unlike Shirong or Lin Wu, his breakthrough was relatively simple and didn't have any unknown factors which restricted him.

Even with the addition of the inheritance of the Taiji Celestial, he didn't have a problem. In fact, he could now sense new things while he was undergoing the heavenly tribulation.

"This energy… it is… the extreme yang of tribulation lightning!" Wang Xiong sensed and gained some insights.

Seeing that this was beneficial to him, he simply closed his eyes and let Lin Wu handle the breakthrough. He on the other hand, focused on sensing the tribulation lightning and the insights that were hidden within them.

He could tell that if he could grasp even one percent of them, he would have great progress with his comprehension of the Taiji Celestials' inheritance. 

Wang Xiong had learned that the Taiji Celestials' inheritance heavily emphasized upon the Yin and Yang aspects of the world. He himself used the cultivation techniques of the Frozen Cloud sect that were mostly focused on ice type technique. 

Ice inherently belonged to the Yin and thus he already had some insights into the Yin part of the Taiji Celestials inheritance. But in the case of Yang, he had little progress, and thus his technique could be said to be incomplete.

While he had tried to apply a few concepts he had picked up to make his own application of the Unity Reversal Scripture, such as in the Yin Return and Yang Push, it was barely enough for him to execute it.

But there was no way he had explored its full potential. But now he had the opportunity to study the Extreme Yang of the Tribulation lightning, which not many people got the chance to study.

Originally he would be studying the Yang aspect by learning more about Fire attribute cultivation techniques. But lightning was considered to be superior to fire in terms of Yang and thus it would be more beneficial for him.

~Boom~

The third tribulation lightning bolt struck Wang Xiong and was easily absorbed by Lin Wu before being guided into Wang Xiong's core. 

"He's already at three bolts! Heavens! Will he be having a unique tribulation?" The audience wondered.

Most of them were still trying to leave but for some reason were unable to go any further.

"What's happening, why are the gates not opening?!" the people questioned.

Soon panic spread through the disciples as they found themselves unable to leave the area due to the restrictions blocking them.

"Hehe! Do you think you can leave so easily? I gotta have someone to witness all this and be dominated. How else would this plan succeed?" Lin Wu laughed.

Lin Wu had gone ahead and asked the system to block the exits of the stage area by making changes in the formation array.

"Why can't they leave? Elder Bo, please go check!" one of the elders asked the other elder.

Elder Bo nodded and quickly made his way to the exit and checked the formation array. But just in a few seconds, sweat covered his forehead.

"This is bad! The formation array is malfunctioning." Elder Bo said.

"WHAT! HOW CAN THIS BE?!" The disciples questioned, feeling dumbfounded that their sect's formation array would ever malfunction.

~Sigh~

"It's the heavenly tribulation… it is having an unknown effect on the formation array. It is not made to operate under conditions like this." The first elder realized.

His words were spoken softly, yet were heard by everyone since they all had their spirit sense spread around. Hearing these words nearly scared them to death and the ones who were weak hearted directly fell unconscious.

"Disciples! Listen to me very carefully. Everyone is to move as far as they can from the stage and take out whatever defensive treasure you have. But make sure you don't let out any strong spirit Qi waves or it may interfere with Wang Xiong's breakthrough and be considered as punishable by the Heavenly Tribulation." The first Elder ordered.

Having no other choice, the disciples went silent and did as they were told. Some of them even brought out their life saving trump cards hesitatingly.

"Hehe, the fun is just starting!" Lin Wu exclaimed to himself, feeling a strange kind of excitement.
