As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skillschapter 293: the transformation in the heavenly tribulation (1)

In the stone palace, Jiang Ming refined the vast amount of celestial energy into his body and finally completed the third level of the Hundred Tribulations Sacred Body.

After three transformations, his body was covered in old skin, blood vessels, and broken bones. The further he went through the transformations, the more intense they became. His entire body had been tempered to become tougher and more powerful, containing an astonishing power.

Jiang Ming had a feeling that his physical body and blood Qi were more than twice as strong as before he practiced the Hundred Tribulations Sacred Body. With the power of martial arts cultivation alone, without using any forbidden techniques, he might be able to fight against cultivators in the middle or even late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

However, the moment the Hundred Tribulations Sacred Body reached the third level, Jiang Ming felt that there was a sense of danger in the void that was approaching quickly.

"Is there really a heavenly tribulation every three levels?" Regardless, he did not panic. Instead, he wanted to see what this heavenly tribulation was like.

Threads of lightning arcs seemed to condense in the void, giving off crackling sounds.

A heart-palpitating and oppressive aura was rapidly descending.

"What have you done? Why did you attract the aura of the heavenly tribulation? Are you looking for death?" Even the black sword was shocked. It sensed that a great disaster was coming. It quickly moved away from Jiang Ming and shouted.

Jiang Ming was surprised. He carefully sensed the danger in the dark and tried to figure out why the heavenly tribulation would descend. After all, legend had it that only those unfathomably powerful immortal cultivators had a slight chance of attracting the heavenly tribulation. Ordinary cultivators had never even seen it before, let alone attract it.

However, Jiang Ming could trigger the heavenly tribulation just by practicing a cultivation technique.

"From this, it can be seen how amazing the person who created this technique is. It's a pity that this technique might be too powerful. Even the founder couldn't cultivate it to the highest realm in theory. Wait a minute? Could it be the celestial energy that has been refined in my body?" Suddenly, Jiang Ming thought of a possibility. "Celestial energy is a mysterious energy that is even more powerful than spiritual energy. It is suspected to be related to the origins of heaven and earth. It is extremely rare. Even in a blessed land with rich spiritual energy, it is almost impossible to have such rich celestial energy. Now that I've cultivated the Hundred Tribulations Sacred Body and absorbed so much celestial energy into my body, did I break some kind of boundary, leading to the heavenly tribulation?"

This truly could be a possibility.

After all, there had never been any cultivation technique that could absorb celestial energy without restraint and refine it into one's body like the Hundred Tribulations Sacred Body.

"Perhaps this is a forbidden path that is not tolerated by the heavens."

An ear-piercing explosion rang out, and it did not leave Jiang Ming any time to think.

He suddenly looked up and saw that the rotating star on the dome had disappeared. In its place was a dark cloud that covered a radius of several thousand feet, almost filling the entire palace.

The clouds were thick, and purple lightning was flickering through the clouds, brewing with terrifying power.

Jiang Ming's hair was floating up, and his skin felt like it was on fire. Even before the heavenly tribulation had come, he could already feel its heart-palpitating pressure.

Jiang Ming quickly threw his storage ring, spiritual beast bag, and other things far away to avoid them being destroyed. He looked up at the thunderclouds, his eyes full of excitement.

"Damn it! This lunatic!" The black sword had already shrunk into a corner of the giant palace, trembling. Were the immortal cultivators this violent these days, triggering heavenly tribulations just because of mere disagreements?

A thick bolt of lightning struck down, and the blinding light seemed to penetrate everything, illuminating the entire palace.

Jiang Ming's entire body was struck, and he was smashed into the ground by the terrifying power. His whole body was charred black, and his hair stood up.

Jiang Ming gasped. The meridians in his body were being ravaged by the terrifying power of the heavenly tribulation. It seemed that there were no wounds on his body. However, it was as if he was being pulled out and skinned.

Before he could react, one after another, extremely thick bolts of lightning descended, drowning Jiang Ming in an instant.

"Damn it! He won't die, right? Even Golden Core Realm cultivators would not be able to survive this," the black sword mumbled. "What kind of thing did this guy do to trigger such a terrifying heavenly tribulation?"

And under the thundercloud, Jiang Ming had long been struck multiple times, and his eyes rolled back.

His whole body was covered in cuts and bruises, and the smell of burnt flesh permeated through the air.

"This is only the first tribulation, and it's already so terrifying. If I cultivate to the later stages. Will I even be able to survive?" Jiang Ming could not help but wonder. "No wonder even the old man on the starlit path, who stands at the top of the immortal cultivation world, can't do anything to perfect this invincible technique."

How was this an invincible technique? It was clearly a technique to court death!
