Chapter 42: Unlocking the Ancient Sacred Body’s Second Meridian, Resisting the Nine-Turn Lightning Tribulation

The system reward had finally unlocked the Ancient Sacred Body’s second meridian.

The Ancient Sacred Body’s second meridian was an extremely yin energy.

This invisible and colorless energy was eerie and strange, like a dark gray mist.

It had no temperature and was not a physical entity.

As it flowed through the air, it was like the primordial chaos of the universe, cold and bone-chilling.

Moreover, it made people feel like they couldn’t understand or comprehend it.

It was indeed the most mysterious and profound Ancient Sacred Body, and its secrets and powers were probably stronger than Nie Chen had imagined.

Compared to this, Nie Chen’s previous experiences were nothing.

Nie Chen looked up at the sky.

The barrier that had been shattered by the Emperor Hong Hui’s clone revealed the outside sky.

Above the broken barrier, endless dark clouds gathered.

The sky was as black as ink, and the clouds twisted and turned, accumulating more and more.

The layers of clouds seemed to cover a majestic and towering palace.

However, within this dark palace, flashes of lightning illuminated the sky.

“Boom!”

A shocking purple lightning bolt struck, but it seemed to be suspended in mid-air, as if it had completely stopped.

Then, a second lightning bolt struck.

Two purple lightning bolts were suspended in mid-air, their ends converging at a single point.

Then came the third, fourth, and so on…

Each purple lightning bolt seemed to be completely still, but as they converged, a vast and powerful energy seemed to spread throughout the sky.

It was as if the gods were angry, and their wrath was about to be unleashed upon the world.

This sign indicated that someone was breaking through a boundary.

However, not all breakthroughs would attract a lightning tribulation.

Only a few individuals with exceptional talent would attract such a phenomenon.

Even if they did attract a lightning tribulation, it would usually be a relatively weak one.

But this scene was completely beyond their imagination.

“This is… the nine-turn lightning tribulation!”

Someone suddenly recognized it.

It was a natural disaster, a sign of the heavens’ wrath.

Only a few individuals who could attract the heavens’ wrath would be able to withstand such a terrifying tribulation.

The nine-turn lightning tribulation was the most powerful of all.

Even in the records of thousands of years, there were only a few examples of individuals who had attracted such a tribulation.

And most of them were strong cultivators who had reached the Ascension Realm or even the Tribulation Realm.

Breaking through a single boundary and attracting such a terrifying phenomenon was unheard of, even in the books!

The nine purple lightning bolts converged at a single point.

As the lightning flashed, the completely still nine lightning bolts suddenly began to move.

The flashing lightning illuminated the sky, and the thunderous sound shook the ground.

It was as if the nine heavens were angry, and a catastrophe was about to occur!

Within the rolling thunder, a boundless and majestic energy spread throughout the Tomb, filling every corner.

It was as if the nine heavens were about to unleash their wrath!

“This level of lightning tribulation is not something that can be withstood by a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Realm!”

Everyone’s eyes widened in shock, and they stared at the sky in disbelief.

Although they were amazed by Nie Chen’s strength, they didn’t believe he could withstand such a tribulation.

The heavens were determined to kill him!

“Boom!”

A deafening sound shook the ground, and the mountains trembled.

The Secret Realm was shaken to its core.

The nine purple lightning bolts were completely out of control, like a descending demon god, capable of destroying the world!

This boundless and majestic energy, wrapped in a terrifying aura, was heading straight for Nie Chen!

It was as if it could destroy everything!

Looking at the descending lightning, Nie Chen’s expression turned serious.

“Ancient Sacred Body, first meridian!”

Golden patterns instantly covered Nie Chen’s arms, making his slender arms seem as hard as iron.

The patterns, like molten lava, seemed to contain boundless power, causing Nie Chen’s aura to surge.

“Ancient Sacred Body, second meridian!”

The extremely yin energy spread around Nie Chen, cold and bone-chilling, yet eerie and strange.

The nine-turn lightning tribulation was only a few dozen meters away.

Nie Chen finally grasped the Three Emperors’ seal and slammed it towards the sky.

A brilliant golden light covered half the sky, and within that light, three figures appeared.

They were the virtual images of the three saint emperors: Saint Emperor Wen Bin, Flying Saint Emperor, and another.

Witnessing this scene, everyone was shocked and disbelieving.

Was this the true inheritance of the Three Emperors’ Mausoleum?

No, this was not just the power of the inheritance.

If it weren’t for Nie Chen controlling the seal, it would not have such terrifying power!

The three saint emperors’ virtual images collided with the nine-turn lightning tribulation.

“Boom!”

A massive shockwave spread throughout the Secret Realm, like a giant hand slapping the ground.

The powerful windstorm swept through the Secret Realm, causing clothes to flutter and screams to echo.

Cultivators with weaker cultivation bases were unable to control their bodies and were swept away by the storm.

“Boom!”

Another shockwave struck, and those who couldn’t withstand the wind were slammed to the ground.

But as they looked up at the sky, everyone was shocked to see that the three saint emperors’ virtual images had shattered, and the nine-turn lightning tribulation had been forced back!

The towering clouds still lingered, but they seemed to have exhausted their energy and could no longer gather lightning.

Through the clouds and the broken Secret Realm, a ray of sunlight slowly shone down.

That ray of sunlight enveloped Nie Chen, making his figure seem sacred and majestic.

Combined with the Ancient Sacred Body’s aura, the remaining female disciples in the Tomb suddenly screamed:

“This is too cool! I feel like my brain, my heart, and every cell in my body are telling me to confess to him!”

“Nie Chen, I want to have your children!”

“As soon as I leave the Secret Realm, I’ll go to the Heavenly Cloud Palace, even if Empress Qingyue kills me, I won’t leave!”

“Empress Qingyue’s ‘Theory of the Uselessness of Dao Companions’ has had a profound impact on the disciples of the Heavenly Cloud Palace. Nie Chen, brother, you probably don’t have a Dao Companion, so I might still have a chance!”

Countless beautiful female disciples gazed at Nie Chen with adoration, their eyes fixed on him.

Many male cultivators were shocked and amazed by this scene.

Attracting the nine-turn lightning tribulation and resolving it so easily…

When the Secret Realm opened, this incredible feat would spread throughout the major sects!

However, a young man in a brocade robe, holding a folding fan, gazed at Nie Chen with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

He was concerned about one thing: why did the rumors say that Nie Chen had a close relationship with Empress Qingyue?
