Corpse Burier: I Can Nourish Corpse

Chapter 825: Chapter 396: Ten Thunders Appear Together, Welcoming the True Monarch?

But that thought flashed by and vanished, because the Undying Celestial Yin Golden Core only exists in legends; the Celestial Splendor Treasure Pavilion simply cannot cultivate one.

Perhaps only the upper reaches of the Heaven-Reaching River, those transcendent Nascent Soul Major Influences with tens of thousands of years of accumulation at the drop of a hat, could possibly nurture such a thing.

”A Top-Grade Golden Core... no wonder I’ve never heard senior’s name in the Celestial Splendor Treasure Pavilion.” Master Witch believed it almost completely.

Yet he still had one doubt—why was this senior attempting a Nascent Soul breakthrough without going back to the Celestial Splendor Treasure Pavilion?

If True Monarch Yuanbao were guarding him, accidents would be much fewer.

After all, once Crossing the Tribulation fails, body and soul may both be annihilated; only with a True Monarch guarding you can you preserve a single life.

Though he had doubts, he didn’t let his imagination run wild.

After all, this senior had already withstood six kinds of Divine Thunder head-on; he clearly had something to rely on, and the confidence to face the Tribulation alone. ℴ

”What a pity, we don’t even know this senior’s Dao title.” The Great Palace Master sighed ruefully at the side. ”If we knew his title, with such an experience, this old man could brag about it for the next few hundred years... Though I’ll never hope to reach Golden Core Perfection in this life, at least I’ve seen the most震撼Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation under heaven with my own eyes!”

It wasn’t only the Great Palace Master who felt regret; Gongyang Fu, Yin Xuan and the others felt the same. After all, this kind of scene was something other people wouldn’t see even if they lived several lifetimes.

Suddenly.

Du Yueqing spoke.

”The seventh kind of Divine Thunder has fallen.”

...

Boom—

Above the Nine Abyss Netherworld, the six-colored Divine Thunder abruptly surged into seven-colored Divine Thunder.

Even with the Corpse Thunder backed by a vast amount of Nine Nether Qi, it finally couldn’t withstand it; the Divine Thunder ultimately pierced through the Corpse Thunder, crashing down onto the Corpse Body and the Extreme Corpse Infant.

Fortunately, the Corpse Thunder had already shed the majority of the impact, so the shock borne by the Corpse Body and the Extreme Corpse Infant wasn’t too great.

And in this way, it further accelerated the fusion and sublimation of the Nine Nether Qi with the Extreme Corpse Infant and the Thunder Spirit Demon Blood Body.

But as time pushed forward again, the Heavenly Dao seemed truly angered by East Spring Undying Bone’s ease.

After only an hour, the eighth kind of Divine Thunder came crashing down.

Heaven-shaking, earth-shattering.

It startled Wen Jiu quite a bit.

And made Du Yueqing and the others’ hearts tremble.

When the eighth kind of Divine Thunder fell, the Corpse Thunder had completely lost its protective function and crumbled apart within the Thunder Sea.

The Thunder Spirit Demon Blood Body and the Extreme Corpse Infant could only face the Thunder Tribulation directly, enduring the full impact of the eight-colored Divine Thunder.

Under such circumstances, the consumption of Nine Nether Qi began to soar; it burned through a full tenth in just one hour.

But after this there was still the ninth and the tenth kinds of Divine Thunder.

”In the end I still underestimated this Thunder Tribulation. Luckily I chose the Nine Abyss Netherworld, not a Tier Four Yin Vein.

If it were just a Tier Four Yin Vein, even if I drained it completely, it might still be impossible to endure eight-colored Divine Thunder.”

Wen Jiu’s gaze was fixed tightly on the situation in the Nine Abyss Netherworld; when the eight-colored Divine Thunder had persisted for an hour, the Nine Nether Qi consumption had already risen to thirty percent.

Luckily, another hour later, the ninth kind of Divine Thunder finally fell.

Though its terror once again escalated the consumption of Nine Nether Qi, devouring another twenty percent in just half an hour, at least it had arrived.

It did not play a drawn-out tug-of-war with him.

Yet even if the tenth kind of Divine Thunder never fell, these nine kinds alone would be enough to drain all the Nine Nether Qi in the Nine Abyss Netherworld in under two hours. At that point, he would be left only with Corpse Demon Origin Power.

Of course.

The Five Yin Ghosts could still step up.

But if ten kinds of Divine Thunder still weren’t the end, then East Spring Undying Bone’s attempt to unravel this Tribulation would be in grave danger.

”No wonder External Nascent Souls are so powerful, yet no one has ever successfully cultivated one; the Yinzhou Heterodox Record never caused much of a stir among Evil Cultivators either. This difficulty really is on a different level.” Wen Jiu even began to suspect that when he charged toward Nascent Soul, his Thunder Tribulation hadn’t been as ferocious as East Spring Undying Bone’s.

”Forget it, man proposes, Heaven disposes. If ten kinds of Divine Thunder really aren’t the end, then I...

Grandma’s turtle egg.

I really don’t want to accept that!

I’ve schemed for so long.

I really don’t want all of it to go up in smoke at the last moment.”

Even though Wen Jiu’s mentality had long since been as calm as an ancient well, at this moment he couldn’t help becoming like an ordinary mortal, starting to fret over gains and losses.

As expected.

In the past he could remain heart like still water only because he didn’t care that much.

When you truly face something you care about, wanting your heart to remain unmoved like an ancient well is ultimately too hard.

...

At the same time.

Du Yueqing, Master Witch and the others already had their hearts lodged in their throats.

The Nine-Colored Thunder Pool had persisted for an entire hour, and that senior was still holding on.

But how much longer could he endure?

”Just a few kinds of Divine Thunder have already severed the path upward for ninety-nine percent of Golden Core Perfection Cultivators.

Now there are truly ten kinds.

Can senior really endure them?”

Master Witch’s heart held a tangled mix of emotions, but mostly doubt and anticipation.

Du Yueqing clenched her fists tight, staring fixedly and with utmost focus at the Thunder Pool a thousand miles away, not daring to even breathe.

Yet when the tenth kind of Divine Thunder fell, Du Yueqing’s heart still gave another violent tremor; she even forgot to breathe.

Looking over the thousands of years of history recorded by the Celestial Splendor Treasure Pavilion, and all the intelligence they’d collected, there had never been a case of someone facing ten kinds of Divine Thunder when breaking through to Nascent Soul. Now, she was personally witnessing a historic moment.

But she dared not yet think whether this historic moment would be glorious, or, like all the others, end in failure and be lost to the long river of history.

From the bottom of her heart, she hoped for success.

But rationally, she knew very well that the chance of success was exceedingly slim.

...

Above the Nine Abyss Netherworld.

When all ten kinds of Divine Thunder had fallen, the consumption of Nine Nether Qi reached an unprecedented level.

In the span of just a quarter-hour, the Nine Nether Qi consumption soared by another twenty percent.

Yet the Nine Nether Qi within the Nine Abyss Netherworld was already down to a scant ten percent at most, only enough to support half an hour.

Once the Nine Nether Qi was exhausted, he would have no choice but to hold against it with Corpse Demon Origin Power.

In the end, the thing Wen Jiu least wanted to see still happened—the Nine Nether Qi in the Nine Abyss Netherworld was ultimately drained to nothing.

Even though Wen Jiu had already spread Spirit-Extinguishing Corpse Qi over the entire Nine Abyss Netherworld, even going so far as to transform it into a Land of Absolute Spirit, the Yin Evil Qi accumulated over countless years could only let East Spring Undying Bone hold out for another hundred breaths.

After those hundred breaths, Wen Jiu could only activate the Origin Power of the Extreme Undying Corpse Demon to hold the line, while letting the Five Yin Ghosts replenish it continuously.

As time slowly moved on, after a quarter-hour had passed, East Spring Undying Bone’s Corpse Demon Power remained in a state of fullness.

But the Celestial Yin Ghost Fiend Origin Power of the Five Yin Ghosts had already been reduced by ten percent.

In other words, if the Thunder Tribulation did not escalate further, they could hold for at most six more quarter-hours.

Because the Celestial Yin Ghost Fiend Origin Power of the Five Yin Ghosts was double that of East Spring Undying Bone; ten percent of it equaled twenty percent for East Spring Undying Bone.

Of course.

Adding his Immortal Golden Core Power as well as all the corpse qi and ghost qi of the Three Corpses and Five Ghosts, they might be able to eke out another quarter-hour.

But that would be the absolute limit.

”Let’s hope there isn’t an even stronger Thunder Tribulation...”

Wen Jiu didn’t dare think further.

He only held his breath and spirit, staring fixedly at the passage of time.

A quarter-hour.

Another quarter-hour.

And when the Celestial Yin Ghost Fiend Origin Power of the Five Yin Ghosts was finally consumed completely, the thunderclouds at last began to diminish.

Seeing this.

Wen Jiu couldn’t help but feel a surge of joy.

The might of the Thunder Pool formed by ten kinds of Divine Thunder finally began to weaken.

Though he didn’t know how much longer it would last, East Spring Undying Bone’s Corpse Demon Origin Power was more than enough to see him perfectly through this Thunder Tribulation.

When Du Yueqing and the others a thousand miles away saw the thunderclouds finally starting to thin, the tension they’d been holding was completely released.

Because that senior had painfully endured to this step; now that the thunderclouds were receding, it would only become easier and easier to hold on from here.

”We’ve witnessed history.”

Du Yueqing’s heart surged with emotion.

Even more exciting was that from this day on, she would have a Nascent Soul True Monarch as her backing.

And one who had passed through a Thunder Tribulation of ten kinds of Divine Thunder.

Perhaps his strength was still not comparable to those Nascent Soul True Monarchs who had lived for a thousand, even two or three thousand years.

But this senior was definitely the strongest existence among freshly formed Nascent Souls.

Without equal!

”Quick, quick, tidy yourselves up properly and get ready to welcome True Monarch together with this old man!” Master Witch was even more wildly excited.

The entire ship shared his mood.

Those Qi Cultivation family members were so thrilled they were almost incoherent. What virtue or fortune did they have, to actually witness the birth of a Nascent Soul True Monarch with their own eyes?

However.

Just at this moment, as the dispersal of the thunderclouds gradually sped up, a new, powerful pressure broke through heaven and earth and slowly descended.
