The power of the lightning bolt was great and created ripples in the Earth Fixing Array when it passed through the hole.
If Lin Mu had not made the hole, perhaps the Earth Fixing Array might have ended up getting greatly damaged. While Earth was good at withstanding lightning, one must not forget that this was still an array and was operated by thousands upon thousands of runes.
Each rune was made with spirit Qi which would be broken apart by the violent power of the tribulation lightning. After all, the Earth Fixing Array's function wasn't to stop or reduce the power of the Tribulation lightning.
Something like that was done especially through formation arrays like the Tribulation attenuation formation array. Thus even if the Earth Fixing array was technically stronger than the Tribulation Attenuation Formation Array, it couldn't bear the tribulation lightning bolts.
They Haima Tribe people were still stunned by the lightning bolt that tore though the roof of the tribe.
Thankfully, their fear was short lived as the lightning bolt quickly reached its target and dissipated.
Nulo who felt a great force hitting his head, was almost knocked out. He didn't even register the violent power of the lightning hammering his newly formed core. If it weren't for the naturally tough bodies of the Haima tribe, perhaps Nulo might have really lost controlled and died.
But that didn't happen.
~KACHA~
Instead, the sound of clear cracking was heard.
"It worked!" Lin Mu said with joy.
~BOOM~
The next lightning bolt arrived shortly, striking Nulo again. This time though, the man was a lot more prepared and gritted his teeth to hold on. The power of the lightning directly entered his three lobed dantian and hammered the core once more.
~KACHA~
This time, half of his core was covered in cracks.
"Just a little more, you can hold on." Lin Mu motivated the man.
"You can do it brother Nulo!" The other Haima Tribe warriors also cheered him on.
~BOOM~
~BOOM~
Two more lightning bolts fell from the sky and struck Nulo.
~SHATTER~
And finally, his Core shattered into pieces and from within rose the Nascent soul. It looked like a small infant that had four legs and two arms. Surprisingly though, the Infant had a differently textured skin than the normal Haima.
It had wave like patterns on its skin that undulated with spirit Qi.
~SHUA~
With the birth of the Nascent soul, the Tribulation clouds quickly started to dissipate while a spirit Qi vortex formed above Nulo.
His cultivation base started to rise rapidly, and so did his Nascent soul. It grew from an infant to a child before finally stopping.
'They truly have a lot of untapped potential…' Lin Mu thought to himself.
The rest of the Haima warriors cheered out loud seeing their companion finally breakthrough.
"Your name shall be forever recorded in our tribe's history, Warrior Nulo." Elder Niji congratulated.
"T-thank you elder." Nulo replied, his breaths a bit labored.
"Let him rest and stabilize his cultivation base for now. It'll take some time getting used to it." Lin Mu instructed.
"Yes, noble Lin Mu." The warriors responded and one of them helped Nulo get to his residence.
It wasn't that Nulo was feeling weak, but rather he had too much power in his limbs now. So much so that he couldn't muster it to follow his will right now. Lin Mu reckoned it might have something to do with the sudden transition from the absence of a Nascent soul to the presence.
"What do we do now, Elder Niji?" the warriors asked. "Should we continue?"
"Noble Lin Mu, what do you say?" Elder Niji asked in turn.
They knew that this was supposed to be an experiment. And now that there was some result, they didn't know if they had to stop. After all, Lin Mu had told them that he needed to gather more information from observing them.
"I don't see why not. Continue!" Lin Mu said with a smile.
He had already checked the body of Nulo and didn't see any problems in there. Plus he could sense that there were others that might reach the same point as Nulo as long as they continued.
'The more information I gather, the better I'll be able to improve the technique.' Lin Mu reckoned.
"As you command, noble Lin Mu!" the Warriors were happy.
They too wanted to experience the growth in power and could even feel a new found desire in their hearts. It was the desire to grow strong and let their tribes rise!
The entire group of Haima Warriors sat down at an equal distance. Seeing the tribulation lightning, they already guessed that it was best to put some distance between each other just in case more than one person broke through at the same time.
If that happened, they wouldn't be able to move in time and possibly get injured.
While they didn't know Lin Mu could intervene in a case like that and tank the lightning bolt for them, it was still a good decision.
Six hours passed by before the next warrior reached the point of breakthrough. Just like Nulo, his core formed in an instant and the Heavenly Tribulation came soon after. Thankfully, elder Niji had already informed the rest of the tribe to not panic because of this.
~SHUA~
Ten minutes later, there was now a second Nascent soul realm Haima Warrior in their midst.
Three more hours later, there was another.
And Six hours past that, there were five!
The number kept on growing bit by bit and four days went by like this.
~RUMBLE~
This time the tribulation clouds in the sky were massive and covered the entire Broken Chasm. This was due to the fact that six Haima Warriors were having a breakthrough at once!
Thankfully, they were also the last remaining members of the test group and there was more than enough space in between them.
~SHATTER~SHATTER~SHATTER~
Six cores shattered at once, giving birth to six nascent souls that all looked similar to each other, having undulating wave like patterns on their skin.
