Chapter 469 Junior Sister Breaks Through Again
Each demon beast eagerly reported its progress, their eyes filled with fervor and adoration as they looked at Shen Rugo.
These demonic beasts originally lived in the Burial Immortal Valley Secret Realm. Due to the influence of the environment, their cultivation level had hardly improved for many years. However, after following Shen Rugo, in just a few months, not only did they all break through their bottlenecks, but their strength also increased several times over!
What made them even more devoted was that Shen Rugo never treated them as servants, but instead provided them with the best cultivation resources.
Shen Rugo checked the cultivation progress of each demon beast before returning to her cave.
Sitting cross-legged in the cultivation room, she took out a jade bottle, poured out three Qi Condensation Pills, which she had refined herself, and swallowed them in one gulp.
The pure medicinal power transformed into surging spiritual energy, flowing into every part of the body.
She could clearly sense that she was only one step away from the Great Perfection of the late Foundation Establishment stage.
"Resources are still not enough."
Shen Rugo opened her eyes, her brows furrowing slightly. This Qi Condensation Pill would consume five thousand high-grade spirit stones.
The Star Pavilion sends her hundreds of millions of spirit stones every month, but it is still far from enough for her.
After all, she had to support so many demonic beasts and sustain the entire Star Palace's expenses. More importantly, after the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, the resources required for each breakthrough increased exponentially!
"Without sufficient cultivation resources, my cultivation level is advancing too slowly..."
Shen Rugo murmured.
There are still one year and eight months until the sect competition. She promised her senior brothers that she would break through to the Nascent Soul stage by the time of the competition. But at her current pace, it's simply impossible.
"We must find more resources."
A resolute glint flashed in Shen Rugo's eyes. She closed her eyes again and began to circulate the Star Body Refining Technique.
She has cultivated this body-refining technique to the third level, "Starry Bone Tempering," and every inch of her bones has begun to glow with a faint starlight.
With the help of the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, her physical strength has already surpassed the peak of the Golden Core stage and is approaching the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage.
Another half month has passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Shen Rugo suddenly sensed that the spiritual energy in her dantian had been compressed to its limit.
The time for a breakthrough has arrived.
Shen Rugo set up a three-layered array around Jade Maiden Peak. The outermost layer was an illusion array that could confuse vision and block divine sense from probing. The middle layer was a Five Elements Defense Array that could withstand a full-force attack from a Nascent Soul cultivator. The innermost layer was a Breath Concealing Array that could minimize the fluctuations emitted during a breakthrough.
Having prepared everything, Shen Rugo sat cross-legged.
"boom!"
The eighteen divine mountains within the dantian and dantian trembled violently, and the spiritual energy, which had been compressed to its limit, began to undergo a qualitative change.
Each strand of spiritual energy was as heavy as a thousand pounds, containing terrifying power.
The terror of the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment was on full display at this moment.
For ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators, a breakthrough is merely an increase in the total amount of spiritual power, but Shen Rugo's breakthrough is a transformation in the very nature of her spiritual power!
The surrounding spiritual energy was instantly drained, and the spirit-gathering array outside started operating wildly, causing spiritual energy from within a hundred miles to surge towards Jade Maiden Peak like a tidal wave.
Dark clouds began to gather in the sky, and soon lightning flashed and thunder roared, signaling the arrival of a tribulation.
The first bolt of tribulation lightning struck, but it was easily blocked by the Five Elements Defense Array.
But Shen Rugo knew that this was just the beginning.
Sure enough, the power of the second tribulation lightning tripled, causing the Five Elements Defense Array to shake violently.
The third, the fourth... When the ninth bolt of tribulation lightning struck, the Five Elements Defense Array shattered.
At this moment, the dark clouds in the sky had spread to a radius of hundreds of miles, and silvery-white lightning bolts were darting wildly within the dark clouds.
"This is just the beginning?"
Shen Rugo's expression was solemn.
She originally thought that since she had only broken through a small realm, the heavenly tribulation wouldn't be too strong.
But now it seems that every breakthrough in the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment will attract terrifying heavenly punishment!
The tenth bolt of tribulation lightning descended, carrying an aura of annihilation.
He casually tossed out thirty-six spirit-suppressing talismans, which formed a huge light shield.
The lightning struck the light shield, causing it to tremble violently and become covered with countless cracks, but it ultimately managed to block the lightning.
However, the lightning did not stop.
The eleventh, the twelfth...
Each one was thicker, fiercer, and more terrifying than the last.
When the twentieth lightning bolt struck, all the spirit-suppressing talismans exploded, and the protective barrier shattered.
A ruthless glint flashed in Shen Rugo's eyes. Instead of retreating, she advanced and soared into the sky. She actually intended to withstand the heavenly tribulation with her own body!
"Starry Sky Bone Tempering, open for me!"
With her entire skeleton bursting forth with dazzling starlight, Shen Rugo punched the descending tribulation lightning.
At this point, the lightning tribulation had grown as thick as a small mountain.
"boom!"
The thunderbolt collided with the fist, unleashing a blinding light.
Shen Rugo was blasted back to the ground, creating a deep crater. Her body was charred black, and blood was spilling from the corner of her mouth.
But her eyes grew brighter and brighter.
The destructive power contained within the lightning was being absorbed by her body, tempering every inch of her flesh, bones, and meridians!
"Come again!"
Shen Rugo soared into the sky once again.
The twenty-first, the twenty-second...
She was like a tireless beast, struck down by lightning time and time again, only to rise again and again.
His injuries were getting worse, but his aura was getting stronger.
When the thirtieth lightning bolt struck, Shen Rugo no longer resisted it head-on. Instead, she formed hand seals and frantically activated the Five Elements Nine Revolutions Divine Art, actively absorbing the lightning bolt!
"The foundation of the Heavenly Dao is built against the will of Heaven! Today, I will use this thunder to forge my supreme foundation!"
The lightning bolt entered his body, and its violent destructive power raged through his meridians.
Shen Rugo groaned, blood starting to seep from her seven orifices, but she gritted her teeth and persevered, forcibly refining the power of thunder.
Beneath the skin, silver lightning patterns were faintly visible, and on the bones, starlight and lightning intertwined.
As the final bolt of lightning struck, Shen Rugo let out a long roar, and her body erupted with dazzling nine-colored light.
The light shot into the sky, actually shattering the tribulation lightning!
The dark clouds in the sky began to dissipate, and a seven-colored ray of light descended from the sky, enveloping Shen Rugo. This was a gift after the heavenly tribulation, a divine light of creation.
Shen Rugo greedily absorbed the spiritual light, and her injuries healed at a visible speed. Her charred skin peeled off, revealing new, fair skin.
His aura steadily increased, eventually stabilizing at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.
She slowly opened her eyes, her gaze filled with the flickering of stars and the flashing of lightning.
At this moment, she felt that her power was more than ten times stronger than before her breakthrough!
However, before Shen Rugo could even feel joy, she heard cries of alarm from outside. The triple formation she had set up had already been completely shattered by the heavenly tribulation.
The strange phenomenon at Jade Maiden Peak had already alarmed the entire Star Palace.
Meanwhile, on Qiushui Peak and Tianba Peak, Xiao Qiushui and Chen Tianba were cultivating when they suddenly sensed an unusual phenomenon in the heavens and earth and vaguely heard the sound of thunder.
With a sweep of their divine senses, they discovered that the strange phenomenon originated from Jade Maiden Peak.
"Heavens above! How did Junior Sister break through again?"
Xiao Qiushui couldn't help but shout exaggeratedly, and took a step into the air and flew away.
"Junior Sister, she's broken through again! This has widened the gap between our strengths once more?"
Chen Tianba's face was a mix of emotions, it was hard to tell whether he was crying or laughing, his junior sister was really too much of a blow.
As for Xiao Changkong of Changkong Peak, Ye Xinghe of Xinghe Peak, and Lu Haoran of Haoran Peak, the three of them also sensed Shen Rugo's breakthrough aura. They were shocked at first, but their expressions turned extremely ugly in the blink of an eye: "Junior Sister is really too monstrous. She has actually broken through again. What are we senior brothers going to do in the future?"
They felt no jealousy at their junior sister's breakthrough; they should have been happy. However, her progress was so embarrassing, after all, they were her senior brothers.
Xiao Qiushui was the first to arrive.
He stared in disbelief at the scene on Jade Maiden Peak. The thunderclouds stretched for miles, and there were thirty-six bolts of tribulation lightning. The momentum was even more terrifying than when a Nascent Soul cultivator was undergoing tribulation!
"Is Junior Sister breaking through to the late Foundation Establishment stage and reaching the peak?"
Xiao Qiushui found it hard to believe.
