Everyone would seek good fortune and avoid calamity. They would pursue beautiful things and avoid painful things.
Usually, only people with mental problems would torture themselves. Lu Li was like a lunatic at the moment!
As a matter of fact, the first Heaven's Tribulation was not difficult. As long as one had a strong body and flew slowly, one could endure the pain for some time.
Given Lu Li's physical strength, it was not difficult. But he chose to stay in the first Heaven's Tribulation and it seemed that he would have to stay for a long time.
The demonic energy was being burned away bit by bit. There was too much demonic energy in his body.
There was a limit to how much pain a person could endure. If he was tortured for a long time, his mind would not be able to take it. He would either break down or lose his mind.
Lu Li's ability to endure pain was not bad. When he was in the mortal world, he was tortured for three days and three nights at the Wicked Sorcery Mountain. He went through it many times as well. His willpower to endure pain was strong.
He kept taking healing pellets and using divine energy to heal himself so that his body would not be burned.
He was healed again and again, but he was burned again and again. He was hovering between heaven and hell. He would never forget this feeling for the rest of his life.
Three days, five days, eight days!
Lu Li himself could not stand it anymore. He was losing his mind and he had only gotten rid of half of the demonic energy in his body.
Lu Li thought about leaving. But he didn't know if there was something special about this Heaven's Tribulation.
What would happen if he left?
Nobody knew. It was not written in the books. Those who came for the Heaven's Tribulation were prepared to make it or die.
Lu Li thought about it and decided not to leave.
If he did not have the courage to face death and wanted to leave at the first Heaven's Tribulation, how could he go through the other two?
The third Heaven was the Soul Tribulation. Without the courage to press forward, there was no way he could go through it.
Lu Li had a card up his sleeve, the dragon soul!
He believed that when his soul was about to collapse, the dragon soul would protect him. Therefore, his soul would not collapse.
The only thing he was worried about was that he would lose his mind. When that happened, the dragon soul would not be able to protect him. Lu Li would have to rely on his willpower to survive.
He believed in his willpower and that he could go through it.
He also believed that after this ordeal, his willpower would be stronger, which would be helpful for the third Soul Tribulation.
Ten days, twelve days!
Lu Li had become muddle-headed. Because of the excessive pain and suffering, he had become numb to it. He could no longer tell reality from illusion.
He had this feeling before when the demonic aura affected his soul.
During that period of time, he had also become muddle-headed, no different from now.
There was only less than half of the demon's breath left. It would probably be gone in three or four days. However, Lu Li had an idea in his mind – he didn't want to hold on any longer. He might as well just die and be done with it …
There was another thought that kept appearing in his mind. He couldn't give up. He had to persevere. Only then would he be able to survive and become a real person.
There is an angel and a devil living in everyone's heart. There will be persistence, and there will be abandonment.
There would be confusion, but there would also be choices. With a single thought, one could become a god, with a single thought, one could become a demon. Everything depended on a single thought.
The two thoughts in Lu Li's mind were fighting for control, but at the moment, the desire to persevere and survive was still the dominant one. Deep in Lu Li's heart, he kept telling him not to give up.
One day, two days, three days!
The demon's breath in Lu Li's body was almost gone. But he closed his eyes. His breaths were unstable. Every now and then, he would show signs of struggle and pain.
He floated in the air, motionless. He didn't try to heal his wounds. It seemed that his soul had fallen into silence. He could not wake up and … he could not control his body.
Half a day, then a day!
Lu Li still did not open his eyes. His wounds were serious because of the fire.
If he could not wake up, he would eventually turn into charcoal and float here for eternity.
Another half a day later, Lu Li suddenly opened his eyes. There was no confusion in his eyes. He was as calm as a cold beast.
His mouth twitched. He realized that the muscles on his face were almost charred.
He took out some pellets from the Wicked Bead at once and threw them into his mouth. The flames here were too strong. Average Interspatial Rings might not be able to stand it.
Therefore, he threw all the treasures in his Interspatial Ring into the Wicked Bead. The bead was a supreme Relic. Blood Fairy had modified the formations on it, making it stronger.
Lu Li took some healing pellets. The efficacy spread throughout his body and his wounds began to heal.
Even though Lu Li was still in pain, his mind was in a good mood.
Over the past few days, he had completely suppressed the negative emotions. He felt his soul was sublimated.
At this moment, his willpower was very firm, and it was very difficult to shake his will under any circumstances.
The strengthening of his soul did not mean that it was sublimated. This time, Lu Li felt his soul was sublimated.
It was said that going through Heaven's Tribulation could sublimate in all aspects, including combat abilities.
This was only the first Heaven's Tribulation. Lu Li realized that his soul had been sublimated and his physical body must have improved as well.
"Move!"
When his wounds were healed, Lu Li began to move. He knew that the first Heaven's Tribulation had just begun. The blue haze was dozens of miles wide. He would have to endure more pain to go through.
But he was fearless. His soul was as solid as a rock, unassailable!
As soon as he moved, the astral wind blew over and began to cut his flesh, as if countless small knives were slashing across his body.
But Lu Li seemed to be immune to pain. He had gone through too much pain in the past more than a dozen days. First, he was in a frying pan and now, he was in hot water. Could he feel anything?
Lu Li flew up bit by bit. After four hours, he had arrived at the top of the blue haze.
He was about to go through the haze. The first Heaven's Tribulation would be over.
He didn't speed up and rush out. Instead, his eyes became extremely solemn.
The haze here was thick, which meant that the flames here would be more aggressive and the wind would be more ferocious.
Lu Li stopped to tend to his wounds. He planned to recover more than half of his wounds before he could go through at one go.
He took more than a dozen healing pellets and at the same time, healed himself quickly.
His physical body was being burned and healed. He was much stronger now. He was confident that he could go through.
After six hours of healing, Lu Li continued to fly up slowly. But he didn't speed up.
Granted, he could go through in the time for one breath if he did so. But he knew that would be courting death. The horrifying wind would tear his body apart.
"Hiss, hiss ~"
When he reached the top, the Divine Flame was indeed horrifying. Lu Li's body was badly burned. But he didn't stop to tend to his wounds. He made up his mind and flew up. When he was almost roasted, he … finally made his way out.
"Phew, phew!"
Looking at the clear sky, Lu Li suddenly felt how beautiful the world was.
He flew up quickly. After he was more than three miles away, he took some healing pellets without thinking. Then, he floated in the air and passed out.
High up in the sky, a man that was roasted was floating in the air. If regular immortals were to see this, they would think they had seen a ghost.
