Chapter 18: Passing the Ninefold Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, Achieving Heavenly Gang Status

Above the Thousand Peaks mountain range, thunderclouds rolled like giant waves in the deep sea, the sky was pitch black, and only flashes of lightning illuminated Zhang Yifan's solitary figure standing on the peak.

The Nine-Turn Golden Elixir spun continuously within his body, releasing golden light that enveloped his entire being, as if he were draped in a sacred armor.

The first heavenly tribulation lightning was brewing, the power of thunder gathering in the dark clouds, and the roar of a thunder dragon could be faintly heard. Zhang Yifan took a deep breath, focused his mind, and entered a state of selflessness.

He knew that the first lightning bolt of the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Tribulation would be a fierce strike, and he had to go all out, otherwise he would be shattered to pieces if he made the slightest mistake.

Li Taixu stood behind Zhang Yifan, his expression solemn, his eyes blazing, ready to lend a helping hand if the tribulation became too dangerous.

Although he cannot directly intervene, as a master, he has an obligation to protect his disciples at critical moments.

"boom--!"

With a deafening roar, the first bolt of lightning finally tore through the sky, like a silver dragon emerging from the sea, hurtling straight towards Zhang Yifan. The lightning was dazzling and deafening, as if it would split the entire mountain in two.

Zhang Yifan's gaze sharpened, and he rapidly circulated the "Heavenly Gang Body Refining Technique" within his body to prepare for the baptism of thunder.

The "Heavenly Gang Body Refining Technique" is an ancient divine body refining skill that requires the most powerful forces in the world to temper the body, and lightning is the purest of these forces.

Lightning surged into Zhang Yifan's body, the current coursing through his meridians, feeling as if a thousand needles were piercing his flesh, causing indescribable pain.

However, Zhang Yifan gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and quickly activated the "Heavenly Gang Body Refining Technique," guiding the power of lightning to all parts of his body to temper his physical body.

He felt every bone and meridian in his body being strengthened by the power of lightning, as if he were being reborn in a raging fire, gradually becoming indestructible.

With the end of the first heavenly lightning strike, Zhang Yifan's body had begun to take shape under the tempering of the "Heavenly Gang Body Refining Technique," and the Heavenly Gang Body was gradually manifesting.

The first bolt of lightning had barely ended when the second bolt rapidly gathered, the thunderclouds grew even denser, lightning surged wildly within the clouds, and the thunder roared like a giant beast, constantly assaulting Zhang Yifan's mind.

Zhang Yifan gripped the Heavenly Profound Spirit Sword tightly, silently reciting the sword incantation of the Thunderous Sky-Severing Sword, preparing to face an even more ferocious attack.

"They're here!" Zhang Yifan thought to himself, his whole body tense like a bowstring, ready to strike at any moment.

The second bolt of lightning was even more ferocious than the first. It gathered even more thunderous power, resembling a giant lightning python, and struck Zhang Yifan with boundless destructive aura.

Zhang Yifan dared not slack off in the slightest. The Nine-Turn Golden Core within his body circulated rapidly once again, and the power between the eight small golden cores and the large golden core was quickly exchanged. At the same time, he introduced the power of thunder into the Heavenly Profound Spirit Sword. Under the stimulation of the lightning, the sword emitted a crisp sword sound.

"Thunder Shatters the Sky, Break!" Zhang Yifan roared, and the Heavenly Profound Spirit Sword was suddenly swung out. The lightning wrapped around the sword merged with the sword energy, forming a thunderous sword energy that tore through the sky, meeting the incoming thunderbolt.

The thunderous sword energy collided with the heavenly lightning, instantly unleashing a deafening roar. The lightning and sword energy intertwined, forming a fierce clash of forces.

However, the power of this second bolt of lightning was even stronger than Zhang Yifan had anticipated. The lightning force instantly suppressed the sword energy and rushed directly towards Zhang Yifan.

Zhang Yifan felt the powerful impact of the lightning. The Nine-Turn Golden Pill in his body spun rapidly, and its power erupted again, forcibly dispersing the power of the lightning throughout his body.

He quickly activated the "Heavenly Gang Body Refining Technique," further strengthening his physical body under the bombardment of lightning, while continuously honing the sword intent of the "Thunderous Sky-Severing Sword."

This time, Zhang Yifan's physical body had become even more resilient, and was almost unaffected by lightning.

His sword intent also rapidly increased under the stimulation of lightning, and the Heavenly Profound Spirit Sword seemed to transform into the embodiment of thunder, making its sword energy even more fierce.

The third, fourth, and fifth bolts of heavenly lightning followed one after another, their power gradually increasing. The frequency and strength of the lightning made it almost impossible for Zhang Yifan to withstand them.

However, he still gritted his teeth and continued to circulate the "Heavenly Gang Body Refining Technique" to strengthen his body.

Amidst these successive lightning strikes, his Heavenly Body gradually revealed its true power. His body seemed to have merged with the lightning, remaining steadfast despite the onslaught.

After each bolt of heavenly lightning, Zhang Yifan's physical body rapidly recovered, and this recovery process was also a powerful transformation.

The pain of tempering his body with lightning continuously stimulated his potential, gradually bringing his physical body to a level that ordinary cultivators could hardly reach.

Under the tempering of lightning, Zhang Yifan's Heavenly Body gradually took shape, and his body became indestructible, so lightning could no longer cause him any substantial harm.

The sixth and seventh bolts of heavenly lightning descended, their power even more terrifying. Zhang Yifan's Heavenly Gang Body was still able to withstand them, but he understood that as the power of the heavenly lightning continued to increase, the strength of his physical body alone would not be enough to completely overcome the tribulation.

Therefore, he activated the Thunderous Sky-Splitting Sword with all his might, continuously channeling the power of heavenly thunder into the sword to counteract the power of thunder with sword energy.

During this process, Zhang Yifan gained a deeper understanding of the sword intent of the Thunder Heaven-Splitting Sword. Each time he drew his sword, he became more and more adept, and the thunderous power contained in his sword energy became more and more refined.

Under the bombardment of the seventh heavenly lightning, Zhang Yifan finally pushed the sword intent of the Thunderous Sky-Splitting Sword to its peak.

The lightning coiled around the sword seemed to be connected with the Dao of Heaven. With each strike, it could draw upon the power of lightning in the world to contend with the heavenly thunder.

In Zhang Yifan's hands, the Heavenly Profound Spirit Sword seemed to transform into the embodiment of thunder, its sword energy sharp and unparalleled, each strike seemingly capable of tearing the sky apart.

The eighth bolt of heavenly lightning descended, and the power of thunder in the sky had reached its peak. The final strike brewing in the thunderclouds would be the most terrifying ninth bolt of heavenly lightning.

Zhang Yifan knew that this ninth heavenly lightning bolt would be the final test of his tribulation.

The power of thunder surged wildly in the clouds, and finally, with a deafening roar, the ninth bolt of heavenly lightning tore through the sky, carrying earth-shattering power straight toward Zhang Yifan.

At this moment, Zhang Yifan had already combined the power of the Heavenly Gang Body and the Thunderous Sky-Severing Sword into one. His true essence reached its peak under the stimulation of the Nine-Turn Golden Pill, and the power of thunder and sword intent were perfectly combined on his sword.

"Thunder cleaves the heavens, a single sword shatters the sky!"

Zhang Yifan roared, raising the Heavenly Profound Spirit Sword high, its blade crackling with lightning, transforming into a thunderous sword light to meet the ninth bolt of heavenly lightning. Wherever the sword light passed, space seemed to be torn apart, the power of the lightning being fully unleashed at this moment, transforming into unparalleled sword energy that slashed directly at the heavenly lightning.

The thunderous sword energy collided with the ninth bolt of heavenly lightning, unleashing another earth-shattering collision between heaven and earth. Lightning and sword energy intertwined, causing the entire mountain range to tremble violently under this terrifying power. In the end, the sword light completely cleaved through the heavenly lightning, shattering it into countless fragments of lightning, and the oppressive force of the tribulation dissipated completely at that moment.

Zhang Yifan gasped for breath as the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir within his body rapidly spun, transforming the remaining lightning power into pure true essence. His physical body was also fully formed under the tempering of lightning, and his Heavenly Body had been perfected, rendering lightning unable to cause him any further harm.

Seeing this, Li Taixu smiled with satisfaction: "Good lad, you really didn't disappoint me."

Zhang Yifan took a deep breath, gazing at the dissipating thunderclouds, a surge of pride welled up within him: "So what if it's a Nine Revolutions Heavenly Tribulation? Today, I, Zhang Yifan, will finally stand at the pinnacle of cultivation!"
