Chapter 488: Golden Core Thunder Tribulation
Lu Xia Tian's heart was filled with ecstasy in an instant. For him at this time, being able to retrieve a life was already a good thing, let alone successfully condensing the Golden Core.
It seemed that this golden elixir was just a little larger than the ones described in records of other cultivators, maybe about one-fifth bigger. But he had consumed five Congealing Gold Pills—where did the rest of his spiritual energy go Lu Xiaoxiao felt a pang of worry in his heart, but before he could inspect the other changes within his body, this nine-colored golden elixir was still unstable. At this time, his true strength was only slightly stronger than before, and he was far from reaching the level of a Golden Core cultivator. Only after undergoing the tribulation thunder could one be considered a true Golden Core expert.
Lu Xia Tian abruptly raised his head. Above him, the dark clouds were even thicker than when Emperor Kun crossed the tribulation last time. They looked like a gigantic city in the sky, ready to crash down at any moment.
"Come on!" Lu Xia Tian felt the tribulation lightning about to fall. Although he hadn't passed the tribulation yet, his heart was filled with boldness. He slowly stood up from the ground, the scabs on his face falling off automatically, revealing his original somewhat handsome face.

He had survived the fierce Five Elemental Energies within his body, let alone external threats like lightning tribulation. At this moment, Lu Xia Tian's silver hair and robe fluttered in the nonexistent wind.
The nearby mountains were shrouded in vast shadows by the thunderclouds in the sky. Lu Xia Tian stood on his tiptoes, gazing at the sky, and the true energy within his dantian surged with agitation. Although the true energy flowing from the nine-colored golden elixir was obviously more pure and powerful than before, there were still signs of instability. It was not something that Lu Xia Tian could fully control with his primordial spirit alone. Only after enduring the baptism of the thunder tribulation could the power of the golden elixir be thoroughly stabilized.

After several hours of accumulating power, a thick bolt of lightning struck Lu Xia Tian's head, followed by several more.
Lu Xiaotian remained calm. Five magic weapons flew out simultaneously, all of the highest quality, even top-grade ones. Over the years, Lu Xiaotian had killed many Foundation Establishment cultivators, including some powerful ones. The seized magic weapons were of very good quality. Some with poor condition were dealt with directly, while others in decent shape were refined once again. These were prepared specifically for facing this lightning tribulation.
Five high-grade magical implements successively received the descending tribulation thunder.
Although the current tribulation looks more formidable than the one Emperor Kun faced, human cultivators have access to many things they can leverage. If Emperor Kun hadn't had assistance and that Green-robed Elder appeared at the crucial moment, it's hard to say if he would have successfully weathered that tribulation.
A deafening crack echoed through the air, and five high-grade magical artifacts were shattered into pieces after being struck by several bolts of tribulation lightning.
Facing a wave after wave of thick and powerful lightning bolts behind him, Lu Xia Tian didn't even raise his eyelids. He once again sacrificed several top-grade magic weapons, three jade rishis, whirling above his head, releasing a sheet of jade light to meet the descending tribulation thunderbolts.
The jade glow emanating from it continuously dimmed on the expanse of green water.
Lu Xiaotian's face changed slightly. The power of this tribulation thunder was several times greater than he had imagined.
"Bao Yin Yi Gui Jia Zhen, rise!" Lu Xia Tian said with a composed face. Although he had heard some rumors that the appearance of an anomaly during pill formation would often result in a more powerful tribulation thunderclap, he realized his condensed array-formation pill was likely among them. This thunderclap was at least twice as strong as Zhou Xiao Cui's.
This is just the first wave of tribulation, even these top-grade artifacts are a bit hard to withstand.
In the blink of an eye, the jade ruyi turned into dust, but the formation once again stood before him.
Lu XiaTian swallowed several Huitian Pills directly. The first wave of tribulation thunder just passed, and the second wave struck immediately, not giving him any chance to breathe.
Several cultivators from nearby mountains looked this way, their faces filled with astonishment. Although the tribulation thunder affected their divine sense, preventing them from extending it too far, the commotion caused by the tribulation was impossible to ignore. The sound of the tribulation thunder was deafening, each bolt stronger than the last, leaving no room for respite.
“I wonder which unlucky soul encountered such a formidable lightning tribulation.” A middle-aged man with disheveled hair said with schadenfreude from atop one of the mountain peaks.
“Whoever said it wasn't true, this person is probably not going to escape this tribulation. I heard that there was a cultivator on that mountain who rented it for four years in a row, which is really rare. He didn't cross the tribulation for more than two years at the beginning, and when he finally waited, this happened. It is said that the young cultivator was very solitary, no wonder he wasn't willing to let others watch him.” A man with white hair but a youthful face shook his head and said.
Just as several cultivators on the nearby hills were discussing this terrifying thunderstorm tribulation, Lu Xia Tian had already encountered his third wave. In the first two waves, he had consumed twenty pieces of magic artifacts and two sets of formations. Now, all he had left was the Water Heart Stone Di Sha Dao Formation, which could be used without much cost.
Lu Xia Tian's face was calm, but inside, a sliver of anger raged. He had barely escaped death after struggling through a near-fatal situation where five golden core dantians were almost formed. He had witnessed the movement of golden core thunder several times before and believed that with his strength, he could handle most powerful thunderstorms, even those comparable to Di Kun's. After all, Di Kun was a member of the flying silver corpse clan, whose ascension was inherently difficult. The tribulation thunder faced by ordinary human cultivators was unlikely to surpass Di Kun's. But the one before him was an exception. Even with his five soul control methods and artifacts, he was struggling to defend against all the lightning strikes.
A heavy electric current filled the surroundings, with small surges of electricity constantly darting into his body, causing a slight tingling numbness on Lu Xia Tian's skin. At this moment, Lu Xia Tian's attention was entirely focused on the thunderclouds above, and he had no time to pay attention to these minor electrical discharges that posed little threat.
Seeing this Golden Core tribulation so terrifying, it's clearly trying to kill him in the cradle. Dozens of thunderbolts fell one after another. Lu Xia Tian's face changed drastically. Whether it's a person or a magic weapon, they all have their limits. His Shui Xin Stone Di Sha Dao Array, if a few thunderbolts hit one after another, the damage can be distributed and it can last for a long time. But dozens of thunderbolts, even the Di Sha Dao Array, wouldn't have time to react before being pierced in an instant.

Shui Xinshi's Earthly Evil Saber Array didn't hesitate to charge forward, facing dozens of tribulation thunders. Even with Lu Xiaitian's strength, without relying on external objects, he absolutely couldn't withstand them. Even if the formation was damaged, he wouldn't hesitate.
A shower of flying knives from the Thunderbolt and Earthly Sha Blades Formation clashed with incredible speed. Lu Xia Tian, despite quickly mobilizing his formation to counterattack, could only manage a single defense in such a short time frame.
