Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

According to the method recorded on that jade slip, the nascent tribulation clouds possessed immense power and could not be directly refined into a magical treasure. First, one had to dissipate some of its power, wait for it to show signs of weakening, and then seize the opportunity to subdue it in one fell swoop.

Furthermore, this jade slip contained a protective restriction left behind by its original creator.

Activating this protective restriction would prevent lightning from the tribulation clouds from directly striking the one undergoing the tribulation.

In other words, as long as Chen Tian remained under this light barrier, the lightning bolts falling from the tribulation clouds above him would not directly hit him. He only needed to withstand some minor residual force and wait for the right moment to subdue the tribulation clouds.

The jade slip contained very little description of the residual force of the heavenly tribulation, as if it were insignificant. Therefore, Chen Tian automatically ignored it and didn't pay much attention to it.

However, now that he personally experienced how strong this residual force was, Chen Tian couldn't help but feel bitter.

Because Chen Tian finally realized that he had made a very big mistake.

The reason why the jade slip downplayed the residual force of the heavenly tribulation, describing it as if it were 'tickling,' was because the cultivator who came up with this method was incredibly powerful. This little residual force was not worth mentioning to him at all.

After all, this jade slip came from the Ancient Immortal Realm, and according to the Mad Old Man, only those whose cultivation had reached the Sky Building Realm were qualified to ascend to the Ancient Immortal Realm. This meant that the cultivator who created this jade slip was at least at the Sky Building Realm or above.

Moreover, the contents of this jade slip were mostly his personal insights, so he didn't take these residual forces of the heavenly tribulation to heart, and didn't even feel the need to mention them.

However, what this cultivator never expected was that after endless years, the method he had comprehended would fall into the hands of a small cultivator on a remote planet.

And this cultivator's strength hadn't even reached the凝海(Ning Hai) Sea Condensing Realm.

In this way, a problem arose.

Because the cultivator who came up with this method was powerful, he naturally didn't need to fear the mere residual force of the heavenly tribulation. However, Chen Tian was different. As someone who hadn't even reached the Sea Condensing Realm, even though these lightning bolts had been weakened by the light barrier, the remaining residual force was still extremely powerful to him.

In these successive shocks of residual force, Chen Tian felt as if the blood in his body was about to boil, and his face was extremely pale.

At the same time, the immortal pill that Chen Tian had swallowed finally released its last trace of spiritual power, and after helping Chen Tian repair his damaged meridians, it finally dissipated completely.

Seeing this scene, Chen Tian couldn't help but be surprised again.

You must know that this was an immortal-grade spiritual pill! It contained endless, majestic spiritual power.

But such an immortal pill could only help Chen Tian withstand two attacks from the heavenly tribulation before dissipating completely. This also proved from the side how terrifying the power of these heavenly tribulations was.

However, just as Chen Tian was in a daze, the tribulation clouds, which had been briefly calm, began to churn violently again, and the terrifying aura that shook people's hearts once again emanated out.

Chen Tian knew that the next wave of lightning was about to fall.

Thinking of this, Chen Tian immediately discarded all the distracting thoughts in his mind, and then his hands changed rapidly, casting one after another magic seals into the surrounding light barrier.

Under the strengthening of these magic seals, the light barrier became increasingly solid.

Seeing this scene, Chen Tian immediately breathed a long sigh of relief, and the feeling of anxiety in his heart also dissipated somewhat.

Afterwards, Chen Tian raised his head and stared at the tribulation clouds suspended above him, as if wanting to see the changes within.

However, just as Chen Tian's gaze was aligned with the tribulation clouds, his originally calm expression instantly turned into panic.

Because he saw clearly that within the tribulation clouds, there were actually eight red lightning bolts, flickering faintly.

These eight lightning bolts were like eight restless dragons, constantly rolling in the tribulation clouds, as if they couldn't wait to descend.

Before, when there were only four lightning bolts, Chen Tian had already been in a miserable state. If these eight lightning bolts were to descend at the same time, then even with this light barrier to resist, Chen Tian was afraid that he would be in great danger.

Thinking of this, the bitterness on Chen Tian's face became even stronger. He suddenly felt a little regretful. If he could have studied the contents of this jade slip more carefully and understood the harm that the residual force of the heavenly tribulation would cause him, then Chen Tian would have been able to prepare more defensive treasures, and he wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

Chen Tian knew that withstanding four lightning bolts was already his limit.

If these eight lightning bolts really fell at the same time, then with his current strength, he would definitely be unable to resist, and he might even have all the meridians in his body broken by the majestic residual force and die.

Thinking of this, layers of cold sweat couldn't help but seep out from Chen Tian's back.

Since Chen Tian entered the world of cultivation, he had always adhered to the principle of being cautious and careful, and he would think twice before acting.

However, after obtaining the jade slip this time, Chen Tian discovered that by using this method, he could refine this tribulation cloud into a magical treasure close to an ancient immortal treasure. This couldn't help but make him overjoyed, and for a time he forgot his vigilance, which led to the current disaster.

Chen Tian originally thought that he could safely overcome this difficulty with the help of this method. But what he never expected was that it was precisely because of his carelessness that he had created such a dangerous predicament for himself.

Chen Tian's heart was filled with regret and bitterness.

At this time, in the tribulation clouds, the eight lightning bolts, like dragons, had changed from their previous red color to a purplish-brown color, and the aura emanating from them was even more terrifying.

And at this time, they flickered even faster, as if they might fall down at any time.

However, when Chen Tian saw this scene, his originally panicked state of mind couldn't help but calm down.

Chen Tian knew that since things had come to this, no matter how afraid he was, the result would not change in any way.

Therefore, the more critical the moment, the more Chen Tian had to calm down.

Looking at the lightning bolts above his head, which were baring their fangs and claws and were about to strike down, Chen Tian's heart was like a cold pool, without any waves.

After thinking quickly for a while, a flash of light suddenly burst out from Chen Tian's eyes, and at the same time, his face suddenly became gloomy.

He gently stroked the storage ring on his finger, and suddenly, a strange fruit appeared in the palm of Chen Tian's hand.
