Lu Li woke up after sleeping for three days and four nights. He had taken some healing pellets and his body had a strong self-healing ability. By the time he woke up, he was more than half healed.
He sat in the void and began to treat his wounds. At the same time, he began to analyze how to go about the next two tribulations.
The first Heaven's Tribulation had tortured him, but he had gained a direct understanding of it — it was much more horrifying than described in the books!
It was not that the Heaven's Tribulation was too strong, but … Lu Li's abilities were weaker than those of previous Kings of Yan!
It had not been long since Lu Li became an immortal. When others went through Heaven's Tribulations, they were thousands or tens of thousands of years old.
In terms of body, divine energy, soul, defense, abilities, and state of mind, Lu Li had reached the peak of super mighty warriors in the Divinity. Many people had to prepare for Heaven's Tribulations for hundreds of years. No one could go through Heaven's Tribulations at will like Lu Li.
Previous Kings of Yan had been preparing for many years. For them, the first trial was a piece of cake. They would be fine as long as they were not too fast.
But for Lu Li, it was more horrifying than described in the books. That was why he was thinking about how to go through the next two trials.
Even he himself knew that his foundation was too weak. Perhaps his battle prowess was already stronger than the average God World Supreme-Being, but his comprehensive abilities in all aspects were still very weak.
Here, one didn't just rely on one's battle prowess, but all aspects of one's abilities!
Heaven's Tribulation, Heaven's Tribulation!
At the end of the day, this was a test from the gods. Warriors had to go against nature, but the gods wanted to stop them. If you wanted to go against nature, you must be tested by the gods.
If you could pass the test in all aspects, the gods would recognize your abilities and grant you something.
"This is no different from exploring the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos in the mortal world …"
An idea came to Lu Li's mind. The Purgatory of Primordial Chaos was also a trial that mortals must go through if they wanted to go against nature and come to the Divinity.
If they could go through it, they could ascend to the Divinity. If they could not, they would die!
Heaven's Tribulation was the same.
If they could go through it, their abilities would be enhanced and they could go to the Second Heaven.
If they could not, they would still die.
"Go against nature? God?
This God can't be a God, right? "
Lu Li gazed into the sky. Once again, he felt there was a huge hand controlling the fate of all living beings in the universe.
He had set the rules of the game, and everyone was following them. If anyone dared to violate the rules, they would be mercilessly killed.
At this moment, Lu Li felt like they were frogs at the bottom of a well. They were trying their best to climb up the well and jump out to see the scenery outside.
Or perhaps … they all wanted to escape from the well. Hence, they had to climb up step by step.
The path to the well was extremely difficult and dangerous. A single misstep would result in death.
After a while, Lu Li got rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind. It was pointless to think about it now.
Since he had already come this far, he could only muster up his courage and push forward. If he did not succeed, he would die trying.
After three days of treatment, Lu Li's wounds were completely healed and his physical body was stronger.
He was not in a hurry to go up. Instead, he continued to rest on the spot, restoring his body to its peak state.
Two days later, Lu Li made his move.
He slowly continued to fly upwards, his eyes closed.
He did not have to look at the second Heaven's Test. He had to rely on his senses.
The second Heaven's Test was a thunderbolt. It was pointless to see it with one's eyes.
By the time one could see it, the thunderbolt would have struck down.
Lu Li flew up slowly with his eyes closed. He was on high alert, sensing the ripples in space at all times. When thunderbolts were attacking, there would be violent ripples in space.
Lu Li carried the sword in his hand. He must overcome the first Heaven's Test with force or else he would not be able to survive it.
The sword glowed as Lu Li was ready to strike at any moment.
"Swish ~"
The space above and to the left suddenly trembled. Without thinking, Lu Li hacked at the space above and to the left. A ray of sword light rose. The sword made a turn in the air and then hacked at the left.
"Swish, swish!"
A thunderbolt suddenly appeared on the left. The thunderbolt was not of one color, but five. The thunderbolt was as thick as a human head. It whooshed across the sky toward Lu Li.
Lu Li's Cut of Ghost King whooshed on with horrifying force in heaven and earth.
What Lu Li wanted was not to use Cut of Ghost King to offset the thunderbolts. He wanted to use force in heaven and earth to slow down the thunderbolts so that he could dodge.
Just like the first Heaven's Test, the faster he flew, the more dangerous it would be. If Lu Li flew up as fast as he could, he would attract tens of thousands of thunderbolts.
Even supreme warriors in the Divinity would be killed, let alone Lu Li …
"It works!"
Lu Li was delighted to sense that the thunderbolts were slowing down. He flew up slowly.
He only flew up for more than 1000 feet before the five-colored thunderbolt whooshed on from below. He had successfully dodged it.
"Swish ~"
Another bolt of lightning came down from the sky. Without thinking, Lu Li cut at it with his saber. Then he dodged to the left and continued to fly upwards.
This time, Lu Li was able to dodge it. The force in heaven and earth that the Cut of Ghost King could even slow down the speed of thunderbolts.
"Swish, swish, swish, swish ~"
However, as Lu Li kept flying upwards, the thunderbolts became more intense. After Lu Li dodged two more, three thunderbolts appeared in the sky at the same time, coming at him from three different directions.
"Phew, phew ~"
Lu Li took a deep breath. He was not surprised at all.
He had known this would happen. It was written in the books. This was just the beginning. There would be more to come …
"Whoosh!"
Lu Li used Cut of Ghost King with his left hand and took out Demon Slayer with his right hand. He used the Slayer's move and sped up.
He couldn't block the lightning bolt above his head, so he could only rely on his physical body to resist it.
"Swish, swish!"
A five-colored thunderbolt whooshed down and hit Lu Li.
His entire body began to tremble as if he was having an epileptic fit. His skin and flesh began to emit the smell of roasted meat, and his mouth seemed like it was about to spit fire.
"That is strong!"
Lu Li spat. He felt like he was struck by thunderbolts for the first time in the mortal world.
His physical body was strong now. The thunderbolt could hurt him at once. It was not hard to imagine how powerful it was.
"I wonder if wearing the Thunderclap Armour will be of any use?
Can I absorb thunderbolts? "
An idea came to Lu Li's mind. He had given the Thunder Armor to Chi Xi-er.
What was more, the Thunder Armor might not work.
After all, this was a Heaven's Test, not an average thunderbolt.
The thunderbolt was so penetrative that Lu Li felt it spread across his body as soon as it hit him.
The Thunder Armor could only absorb thunderbolts outside his body but not inside his body!
"It would be great if I could build a formation in my body as well …"
While Lu Li was thinking, he felt as if he was struck by lightning. He remembered something — the formation inside the immortal's body!
He had been studying the formation in the immortal's body for a long time but he could not grasp the gist of it.
At this moment, Lu Li suddenly had an epiphany. He figured out many things. He rolled his eyes and stood still. He had forgotten that he was in danger.
