Chapter 3962: Entry into the Golden Immortal Realm

A deafening clap of thunder erupted, and Wang Mengbin felt a piercing pain in his eardrums. A colossal nine-colored lightning bolt tore through the sky, striking towards the estate where Wang Changsheng was.

The nine-colored lightning struck the Azure Lotus Pavilion, which instantly burst apart. Wang Changsheng emerged, facing the descending lightning. A cluster of blue light surged from his right fist, and he punched out, meeting the strike.

The nine-colored lightning struck Wang Changsheng's fist, causing it to go numb, immediately followed by an unbearable surge of pain. The lightning was shattered by his punch, transforming into a massive cloud of nine-colored lightning that engulfed his form.

Before the nine-colored lightning dissipated, the second tribulation lightning struck. An even larger nine-colored lightning bolt descended directly towards Wang Changsheng.

A rumbling thunderous sound filled the air as successive nine-colored celestial lightning bolts descended, each one thicker than the last. Dazzling nine-colored lightning enveloped Wang Changsheng's figure.

After the fourth nine-colored celestial lightning bolt struck, a golden-glowing shield, the Gold Bound Shield—a mid-grade immortal artifact—flew out. The power of the nine-colored celestial lightning was immense; it was already remarkable that Wang Changsheng had withstood four bolts.

The nine-colored celestial lightning struck the Gold Bound Shield, emitting a muffled thud. The shield vibrated slightly as the lightning exploded, its dazzling light engulfing a significant portion of Dongli Island. Powerful air currents destroyed numerous peaks and structures.

Wang Mengbin had already made arrangements, moving all valuable items away, so even if the entire Dongli Island were destroyed, it wouldn't matter. As time passed, when the eighth nine-colored celestial lightning bolt struck, Dongli Island trembled slightly.

"One more!" Wang Mengbin's breathing became heavy.

The nine-colored thunderclouds churned and surged, and a sky-shattering roar of thunder erupted. An incredibly massive nine-colored lightning bolt tore through the sky, like a colossal nine-colored lightning spear, shooting straight downwards.

Wherever the nine-colored lightning spear passed, the void directly ripped open. The lightning spear struck the Gold Bound Shield, instantly transforming into a massive cloud of nine-colored lightning that engulfed the shield. The air currents surged like a tide.

Wang Mengbin breathed a sigh of relief. According to ancient texts, True Immortals advancing to the Golden Immortal stage only needed to face nine celestial lightning bolts. Having now survived nine nine-colored celestial lightning bolts, everything should be fine.

The nine-colored thunderclouds churned violently, and an even larger nine-colored celestial lightning bolt struck down. "What's going on? Aren't nine lightning tribulations enough?"

Wang Mengbin frowned, his face full of disbelief. Could this be related to Wang Changsheng's comprehension of the Soul Law? Was it a special treatment for True Immortals who comprehend a supreme law? Soon after, an even larger nine-colored celestial lightning bolt struck, and the entire Dongli Island trembled in response.

Time continued to pass as successive nine-colored celestial lightning bolts descended, and the air currents surged like a tide.

After a short while, a large amount of yellow mist surged from the ground. A thick yellow light barrier appeared, enveloping the entire Dongli Peak. The barrier had patterns of mountains and rivers on its surface, exuding astonishing spiritual energy.

It was the Mountain River Grand Array, a second-tier immortal array that Wang Changsheng had purchased from the One-Word Hall, and it had an excellent effect in resisting lightning tribulations.

The nine-colored lightning spear struck the yellow light barrier, which dented inwards but quickly returned to normal.

The nine-colored lightning spear burst apart, transforming into a massive cloud of nine-colored lightning that engulfed the entire yellow light barrier. As the nine-colored celestial lightning continued to strike, the lightning became increasingly dazzling and its coverage area grew larger.

Wang Mengbin's expression shifted from solemn to grim. "Such a powerful lightning tribulation, even a second-tier immortal array can't withstand it!" A quarter of an hour later, the nine-colored thunderclouds churned and surged.

"Is it ending?" Wang Mengbin wondered. Wang Changsheng had already endured thirty-five nine-colored celestial lightning bolts.

Another deafening clap of thunder erupted, and an incredibly massive nine-colored celestial lightning bolt descended, heading straight for Wang Changsheng.

The yellow light barrier had already dissipated. Wang Changsheng's face was pale, and he was gasping for breath. This was different from what was recorded in the ancient texts! For other True Immortals advancing to the Golden Immortal stage, the lightning tribulation wasn't this powerful. Could this be related to his minor accomplishment in the Soul Law?

The second-tier immortal array had long been damaged, and Wang Changsheng had also rendered two sets of defensive low-grade immortal artifacts useless. Wang Changsheng took a deep breath. He punched out, sending a colossal blue fist flying to meet the attack. The blue fist collided with the nine-colored celestial lightning, destroying each other.

A deafening roar erupted as dazzling nine-colored lightning shot into the sky, engulfing Wang Changsheng's figure. The earth shook and the mountains swayed. The nine-colored thunderclouds churned and surged, transforming into a tall young man. The man had handsome features and a face full of arrogance. His entire body was enveloped by countless nine-colored electric arcs, and in his right hand, he held a nine-colored lightning halberd.

"What is this?" Wang Mengbin was stunned.

Wang Changsheng had already withstood thirty-six nine-colored celestial lightning bolts, which was four times the number faced by ordinary True Immortals during their tribulation. It was already powerful enough, yet there was still more? As the nine-colored lightning dissipated, Wang Changsheng's figure was revealed.

There were some bloodstains on his body, his face was pale, and his spirit seemed somewhat listless. The thirty-sixth nine-colored celestial lightning bolt was already powerful enough, yet there was still more? What exactly was going on? Was it because he had defeated the peerless genius within the Dao Artifact, or was there another reason?

He didn't have time to think further. The young man swung his nine-colored lightning halberd, charging straight towards Wang Changsheng, seemingly intent on taking his life.

Wang Changsheng quickly conjured eighteen Sea Calming Beads. With a flick of his incantation, the beads immediately glowed with brilliant blue light. After circling him once, they transformed into a thick blue water barrier, enveloping him. Simultaneously, a vast amount of blue seawater surged from the void.

The blue seawater churned and surged, raising towering waves to meet the young man.

The nine-colored lightning halberd, with its overwhelming momentum, effortlessly pierced through the towering waves. It struck the blue water barrier, which instantly shattered like paper.

The nine-colored lightning halberd shot straight towards Wang Changsheng. Five different colored spiritual lights surged from Wang Changsheng's right fist, emitting the fluctuations of five different laws. He punched out, tearing the void, and a sky-piercing colossal fist flew out to meet it.

The sky-piercing colossal fist collided with the nine-colored lightning halberd, emitting a muffled thud. The lightning halberd shattered inch by inch. The colossal fist then slammed into the young man's body, which burst apart.

A massive cloud of nine-colored lightning shot into the sky. The entire Dongli Island trembled violently, and more than half of the island was leveled by the powerful air currents, with dust billowing everywhere.

Wang Mengbin's expression turned extremely grim. All of this was beyond his comprehension; he couldn't understand it. Perhaps the Cao family cultivators could explain it. Not long after, the nine-colored lightning dissipated, revealing Wang Changsheng in tattered clothes, with several terrifying blood marks on his body, revealing faint glimpses of bone. The Azure Lotus Creation Cauldron floated above his head.

His aura was weak, a faint smell of burnt flesh emanated from his body, and he was heavily injured.

A terrifying spiritual pressure emanated from his body; he had successfully advanced to the Golden Immortal stage.

A cloud of nine-colored mist suddenly appeared before Wang Changsheng. Startled, he retreated. The nine-colored cloud churned and surged, transforming into a massive pool containing a nine-colored liquid.

"What is this?" Wang Changsheng was slightly stunned, completely bewildered.

He looked up at the sky, realizing the lightning tribulation had ended.

With a single grab of his hand, a glob of nine-colored liquid flew towards him, landing on his hand.

An astonishing scene unfolded: the wounds on his palm rapidly vanished, dead skin peeled away, and his palm became as white as jade. "Is this for healing me?"

Wang Changsheng was slightly taken aback. This couldn't be a test, nor did it seem to be created by other immortals. Could it be a reward from the Heavenly Dao?

Wang Changsheng pondered for a moment, then flew into the pool. His wounds, upon contact with the nine-colored liquid, healed rapidly, and dead skin peeled away. He stripped off his clothes and bathed in the pool, using the nine-colored liquid to heal his injuries.

Not long after, there was not a single wound left on Wang Changsheng's body. He was completely healed, not even needing to rest.
