Under the shocked gazes of everyone, Su Yu plunged headfirst into the lightning tribulation.
The moment the tribulation sensed his aura, it became violently agitated. Bolts of lightning, powerful enough to reduce ordinary Grandmasters to ashes, competed to descend upon Su Yu’s head.
Yet the thunder that would make even Grandmasters tremble produced not a single ripple when it struck him.
It did not even burn through the clothes he was wearing.
Within the sea of lightning, Su Yu stood quietly, his expression calm, allowing the thunder to crash against his body.
Feeling a tingling numbness across his skin, Su Yu casually grabbed a strand of lightning and examined it closely.
“These bolts of lightning…”
He infused his spiritual power into it. The moment he touched something within, his body suddenly trembled.
“Well done!”
“Although these bolts are filled with destructive aura, at the deepest core of that destruction lies an intense vitality!”
“Rebirth from destruction…”
As if realizing something, Su Yu suddenly laughed.
He understood now.
No wonder in the original novel, whenever Chu Feng broke through to a higher realm, he could withstand that terrifying destructive force and not only succeed, but even elevate his cultivation to an unbelievable level.
He must have relied on this strand of life force.
“Perhaps… this lightning tribulation is also an opportunity for me!”
A bright light flashed in Su Yu’s eyes. He suddenly released all defensive measures from his body and allowed the lightning to strike him directly.
“Hiss…”
Just one bolt striking his flesh made him feel a force of destruction coursing through his meridians.
Wherever the lightning passed, it nearly shattered his meridians entirely.
“Capture that strand of vitality and merge it into my Vitality!”
The moment that thought arose in Su Yu’s mind, he could no longer suppress it.
Boom!
When he successfully captured the vitality hidden within destruction, green light surged from his damaged meridians. Waves of rich life force began repairing his physical body.
The restored meridians became thicker and stronger.
Even his Vitality began to undergo subtle transformation!
“A prototype of indestructible matter!”
Looking inward at his body and seeing the transformed Vitality, Su Yu’s mind shook violently.
Indestructible matter that only the 8th stage Golden Body Realm could condense!
Yet he… had already formed a prototype at the 7th stage!
“Hahahaha!”
Su Yu burst into wild laughter. His gaze toward the lightning grew fervent as he shouted, “All of you, come to me!”
With a grasp toward the void, countless bolts of lightning were dragged toward him. This chapter was taken from novelping.com without permission.
Seeing his actions, countless experts below were shaken to their cores.
Wang Tianming said in horror, “What is Su Yu doing? If he just passes the tribulation steadily, he can become a 7th stage Heavenly Soul Grandmaster. Why is he provoking the tribulation instead?”
Just moments ago, Su Yu had appeared completely at ease.
As long as he endured the cleansing of forty-nine lightning strikes, he could pass smoothly.
Yet in the blink of an eye, Su Yu had released all physical defenses and allowed the lightning to strike his body directly.
Doing so could cause irreversible damage to his foundation!
Even Su Zhanhuang, who had been laughing freely before, lost his smile. Worry and urgency suddenly filled his eyes.
“What is that brat Yu doing?”
This was not how one survived a tribulation!
His actions shocked not only Principal Wang and Su Zhanhuang, but also the onlookers below.
“What is Young Master Su doing? Why isn’t he defending against the tribulation?”
“He actually released his defenses willingly?”
“My god, is Young Master Su trying to kill himself? The terror of the tribulation isn’t something he can withstand!”
The crowd erupted into heated arguments.
In an inconspicuous corner of the crowd, Lin Panxi wore a look of malicious delight and excitement.
“Su Yu, you really brought this upon yourself. You could have calmly become a Grandmaster and continue humiliating me, but you chose to seek death instead!”
“Strike him! Strike him harder! It would be best if you kill him!”
At this moment, Lin Panxi’s heart was already twisted. She longed for Su Yu’s death.
Within the lightning.
Su Yu continued forcefully dragging lightning toward himself, using brutal means to inject it into his body.
The destructive force rampaged inside him.
At the same time, after each wave of destruction, he captured the released vitality and poured it into his shattered meridians.
Revival from destruction!
In just over ten minutes, Su Yu’s aura had weakened drastically.
Like a candle about to extinguish, flickering violently in the wind.
“The forty-nine lightning strikes have already passed. Why hasn’t the tribulation cloud dispersed yet?!”
Below, Su Zhanhuang, the 9th stage Grandmaster, rarely felt such tension. His aura surged as if he were about to rush into the tribulation to rescue Su Yu.
Before he could act, Wang Tianming stopped him and said in a deep voice, “Grandmaster, please wait. If you enter now, it may intensify the tribulation. At that point, Su Yu might truly die!”
“Damn it!” As a 9th stage Grandmaster, Su Zhanhuang naturally knew that tribulation could not be interfered with artificially.
But seeing Su Yu’s aura growing weaker and weaker filled him with burning anxiety.
If anything happened to Su Yu, he would be scolded to death by his elder brother!
Several more anxious minutes passed.
“No! I’m pulling him out!”
Boom!
As a 9th stage Grandmaster, Su Zhanhuang’s methods were beyond common sense. He pushed his Vitality to its limit, preparing to tear open space with brute force.
If he appeared abruptly near the tribulation, the lightning would certainly intensify because of him.
But if he tore open space and pulled Su Yu out in a single instant, there might still be a chance of success.
However, just as he was about to extend his hand—
Within the tribulation clouds.
An overbearing force of destruction and an intensely rich life force erupted simultaneously!
Boom!
After that explosion of power, the terrifying shockwave blasted the tribulation clouds apart.
“What happened?”
The sudden change halted Su Zhanhuang’s movement. He looked up toward Su Yu.
Not just him.
All the students of Capital Martial University, even the martial artists across the capital, stared at the dissipating tribulation clouds in shock.
As the clouds scattered, a strand of sunset light illuminated the earth.
High in the sky, the figure whose life aura had nearly vanished now burst forth with power so overwhelming that even space itself began to distort.
Destruction and life coexisted!
Under countless stunned gazes, the figure bathed in the sunset shone like a divine being.
“Hahaha!”
“I’ve finally stepped into the 7th stage!”
The man’s slightly excited voice rang in everyone’s ears.
Su Yu stood upon the void. The aura spreading from his body was so powerful that even the surrounding space struggled to withstand it, twisting visibly.
Feeling the abundant and domineering power within him, Su Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.
After a long moment, he opened them. A streak of black lightning flashed across his pupils.
Suddenly, Su Yu threw a punch into the void.
Crack!
A sound like shattering glass exploded.
Under everyone’s stunned gaze, the space before him fractured from that casual punch.
“This body has transformed and been reborn from destruction…”
“Then let it be called… the Body of Destruction!”
