Chapter 177 – Heavenly Tribulation
While the cloud in the sky brewed, Wang Wei went to the Tribulation Peak as he did not want his Heavenly Tribulation to spread out and harm other people.
Furthermore, the Tribulation Peak can be a back up plan for him in case an emergency occurs. Although Wang Wei did want to use foreign aid to help cross his Tribulation, however, given his relationship with Heavenly Dao, he needed to be cautious.
After a few seconds of brewing, a white flame suddenly appeared from the cloud and headed straight towards Wang Wei, who had a frown on his face after seeing this.
Although he knew that his Heavenly Tribulation was going to be hard, he did not expect it to be that hard.
Wang Wei recognized this white flame as the Cleansing-Purifying Flame, and this flame is usually used by Heaven to punish Devil Cultivators that have committed too many sins when they crossed Heavenly Tribulation.
Wang Wei knew that he did not do anything to deserve such treatment. Even his extermination of the demonic beasts in the trial was not enough for Heaven to treat him as a sinner.
So, there was only reason for this: it was because of his Transcendent Dao Foundation when he broke through the 13th Layer Barrier of the Body Refining Realm, he muttered to the sky:
"How petty can you be? That was a long time ago?"
The tribulation seemed to have heard what he said, then the clouds in the sky suddenly increased again. The clouds that were only covering the entire sect suddenly expanded to cover half the Heavenspan Domain where the Dao Opening Sect was located.
Wang Wei's corner of the mouth twitched a little after seeing this. In fact, he wanted to say a few more things to taunt Heaven, however, he kept his mouth shut.
As a person who pursuit being free and unfettered, he did not like to restrain himself, however, he is also aware when not to provoke unnecessary trouble for himself–especially now that he is still weak
However, his pettiness made him mark Heavenly Dao in his dark book. When he is strong enough, he will deal with it.
As for the dark clouds in the sky, it seemed to be furious that Wang Wei did not take his bait, thus giving it a chance to increase the power of the Heavenly Tribulation.
As for Wang Wei, he did not really care about the Cleansing-Purifying Flame. Not to mention that this flame is not strong enough to break through his defense, he did not have to worry about the most threatening part of this flame: its purifying effect.
Wang Wei did not commit any sins. In the cultivating world, sins are described as cultivators doing terrible things to large numbers of mortals with any reason, or for selfish benefit.
So, those Devil Cultivators that like to kill mortals to absorb their blood, flesh, and souls to cultivate strange techniques are considered sinful.
Furthermore, Wang Wei did not really care about whether he was a sinner. As a person who pursues ultimate freedom, if one day he decided to kill millions of people, then he would do so. He does not need any justification.
Just because he always kept somewhat of a bottom-line does not mean that he is a good person. Everything he does has a purpose, but Wang Wei never places any moral restraint on himself.
After the Cleansing-Purifying Flame reached him, Wang Wei actively opened his defense, allowing the flame to actually reach inside his body.
The reason is that he wanted to purify his body of any hidden dangers, and also tempered his bones.
So, as soon the flame entered his body, Wang Wei groaned due to the intense pain, then started to use the [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture].
Few minutes after the white flaming started to burn Wang Wei, a bunch of dark and stinky puss or impurity were removed from body and stuck on his skin.
Suddenly, Wang Wei felt that he could breathe more easily, and even felt that his life span might have increased a little. So, he smiled knowing that his plan worked
So, he went further and introduced the Cleansing-Purifying Flame into his Sea of Consciousness, hoping to remove the impurities from his soul. However, it seemed to be useless.
To be precise, the flame seemed to be terrified to even come close to his soul. So, he gave up trying.
Next, Wang Wei took out a bunch of sand that shone with a grey luster. This material was known as Silver Sand, and it was the Supreme Tier material needed to tempered his bones.
Normally, it would have taken him a very long time to absorb this material into his bones, but now, he was going to use this Heavenly Tribulation to increase the speed.
During his retreat, Wang Wei had also already found the Dao Rhyme of the Silver Sand, so he easily absorbed it into his bones. Then, he absorbs more Cleansing-Purifying Flame into his body to speed up the process.
The Heavenly Tribulation seemed to be angry at Wang Wei's action, so the white flame was replaced by a deep red and dark one.
Wang Wei knew that this flame was called Heavenly Destruction Flame, and its purpose was implied in its name: destroy everything between Heaven and Earth.
Wang Wei frowned after seeing this, but he did not care. After the Heavenly Destruction Flame hit him, his Innate Field was destroyed, then his skin and muscles were burned, leaving only a skeleton with organs inside.
Then, many of the bones melted, leaving only the spine. Despite this, Wang Wei did not panic as he knew that he was not dead.
He used the method of the [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture], then the melted bones part grew back, an act which angered the Heavenly Destruction Flame.
So, a battle of destruction and rebirth took place. As long as the Heavenly Destruction Flame burns Wang Wei's bones, it will regrow rapidly.
In the process of constant destruction and regrowth, his bones became more and more powerful. And the Silver Sand started to take its effect as it was rapidly refined.
After a few hours, Wang Wei's bones could no longer be burned by the Heavenly Destruction Flame, so he allowed it to burn his spine next. Then, he repeated the same process that his other bones went through until his spine reached the same standard as the other bones.
Afterwards, he regrew his muscles, skin, and Innate Field.
After tempering his bones, Wang Wei suddenly felt a magical transformation occurred in his fleshly body.
His strength increased dramatically. Right now, his punch could probably reach a few 100 million of force. More importantly, his Innate Field seemed to have become even more powerful and it seemed that he could remove it from his body and allow it to protect other people or things around him.
More importantly, Wang Wei felt that his regeneration had reached a new different level, so he tested out to see.
He took out a Low Grade Heaven Tier sword from his space ring and chopped one of his fingers without hesitation.
The reason that he chose a Heaven Tier weapon was because they are considered Law Weapons, and only used by Void Shatter Realm cultivators. Only this level of weapon can actually easily break his defense.
A Top Grade Earth Tier weapon–which is used by Primordial Spirit cultivator–would take forever to cut off even one of his fingers.
After cutting his finger, Wang Wei watched how after a few seconds, the bone in his hand regrew back, followed by the muscles and skin. The whole process did not even take 3 seconds, however, it looked very creepy.
Wang Wei smiled as he did not care about how things looked. He was genuinely happy as he knew that his fleshly body had reached the realm of regenerating limbs.
Now, the only weakness in his body was actually his internal organs, however, that problem will also be fixed in the future.
After finishing checking his body, Wang Wei looked at the Tribulation Clouds in the sky. The Heavenly Destruction Flame was still falling on him, however, they had no effect.
Wang Wei's plan was to use this Heavenly tribulation to also start tempering his heart, however, he knew that Heavenly Destruction Flame was not suitable to do so. The Cleansing-Purifying Flame was way better for the job.
After thinking about this, Wang Wei realized that this Tribulation was useless to him, so he clenched his hand before throwing a punch.
Boom!
A massive shockwave traveled from Wang Wei's hand, then the sky exploded. All the Tribulation Clouds that covered millions of miles were scattered. An angry roar could be heard from the Heavens, however, there was a hint of unwillingness in that voice.
No matter what, the outcome was that clouds were dispersed, and the Heavenly Tribulation was finished.
Wang Wei then looked inside his Sea of Consciousness where he saw three lights of different color hanging there.
