Crossing the stars, I live-streamed my cultivation in kindergarten

Chapter 434 Adulthood 3
Over the sea.

The sky suddenly changed color; dark clouds appeared in the once clear sky, and energy from all directions surged wildly towards the center of the storm clouds.

The clouds gradually thickened, like melted ink spreading across the sky.

A faint purplish-gold hue began to appear at the edge of the dark clouds; it was the faint light of the energy of heaven and earth compressed to its extreme.

The entire sky seemed to have been swallowed up by dark clouds, and amidst the churning clouds, there appeared to be purple-gold or cold-white dragons that seemed to appear and disappear, making the sky and earth appear and disappear in a dim and gloomy way.

The air currents on the sea surface became turbulent, and the once calm sea surface was churned up into towering waves.

The fish and shrimp on the seabed, which lacked sentience, sensed the danger and frantically fled towards the deep sea, but it was too late. The heavy pressure accompanying the lightning tribulation continued to condense and compress, crushing all the fish and shrimp in this vast sea area, leaving none alive.

Beneath the surging waves, all was deathly silent.

Frederick and his companions were pushed to the edge of the tribulation clouds by Jiang Yuxi's mental power.

The whimpering insect that had been nestled on her head was also delivered to Frederick's hands by her spiritual power.

"Don't come any closer. This is my tribulation lightning. If you enter the tribulation's range, you will be locked onto by the lightning and treated as those undergoing tribulation. The power of the tribulation lightning will be multiplied."

She spoke up to stop them from getting any closer.

Frederick, Hilcher, and Jiang Youan, who had personally experienced the tribulation of lightning, and Essen, who had learned about the levels of lightning tribulation in the Sunshine Kindergarten system, all knew very well that Jiang Yuxi's current tribulation of lightning was the highest level, the Nine-Nine Purple Gold Lightning Tribulation.

Perez, who had only seen Guan Wenyue undergoing her tribulation in a video, could sense it from the gathering of energy even without a deep understanding of the different levels involved.

This was the first time Jiang Yuxi had personally experienced a lightning tribulation of this level.

She dared not underestimate it in the slightest, her wrists and fingertips flipping up and down, the movements so fast that only a blurry shadow remained.

Frederick watched as Jiang Yuxi used spiritual energy as a medium and mental power as a brush to draw talismans and set up formations out of thin air.

Lightning-avoiding arrays use array nodes to guide the direction of lightning, disperse the lightning strikes, and reduce their impact.
The Nine Revolutions Profound Gang Formation weakens the power of the lightning tribulation layer by layer when the formation is activated, while converting some of the lightning power into pure spiritual energy that can be absorbed by the formation itself.

The Zhou Tian Star Array can borrow the power of 365 stars and summon the power of the Zhou Tian stars to form a powerful array that can both attack and defend. It carries the power of billions of stars and has enormous power.
The Purifying Heart and Exterminating Demon Formation can prevent spiritual energy disorder and soul tremors under the pressure of thunder. Most importantly, it can reduce the power of the inner demon tribulation attached to the final thunder tribulation.

The Dispelling Talisman works similarly to the Mind-Clearing Demon-Slaying Array. When used together, the effect is increased tenfold, with an 80% chance of dispelling the illusions and inner demon interference brought by the lightning tribulation, and keeping the mind clear.

……

A series of high-level formations and talismanic lights spread out around Jiang Yuxi.

After doing all this, she quickly inventoried the supplies in her spatial bracelet, took out all the defensive magical artifacts and set them up, and swallowed some pills and spiritual liquids in advance.

A deep, crackling sound came from above, indicating that the first bolt of heavenly lightning had been fully charged.

Jiang Yuxi did not activate any formations or talismans, but instead looked up directly to meet the descending heavenly lightning tribulation.

Powerful lightning coursed through my body, bringing a tingling, numbing pain.

Then came the second and third lightning tribulations.

She used the lightning tribulation to temper her body, completely eliminating the hidden dangers of genetic modification that had once existed within her.

Starting from the fourth lightning tribulation, she began to silently circulate the cultivation technique "Heavenly Thunder Tempering Body Technique" to continue guiding the lightning tribulation to temper her body and spiritual roots.

When a force beyond her capacity struck her, the power of the contract dissipated, and features not belonging to the merfolk faintly appeared on her skin...

Only after the nineteenth bolt of lightning did she abandon her plan to withstand the lightning with her own body and activate the array. The array's light and the purple-gold lightning collided in mid-air...

One formation was destroyed by lightning, then a second and a third...

One after another, talismans rushed toward the heavenly lightning.

The power of the heavenly lightning grew more terrifying with each strike, almost destroying the array that Jiang Yuxi had set up and the talismans and magical artifacts she had prepared.

That was a magical artifact she had prepared for the Nascent Soul Tribulation, which she was almost certain to succeed.

I thought we wouldn't need so many, and that the extras could be used for the tribulation lightning during the Nascent Soul stage.

I never expected that an ordinary adult would also experience a lightning tribulation, and such a powerful purple-gold lightning tribulation at that...

Eighty lightning bolts have already struck; only the final lightning bolt remains.

Jiang Yuxi quickly swallowed the pills and circulated her cultivation technique to restore her spiritual power.

The final tribulation of lightning is often accompanied by a tribulation of inner demons.

If one fails to overcome the inner demons, even if the physical body survives, one will still die and the soul will dissipate.

The energy accumulating in the sky is increasing, and its power is growing stronger.

Jiang Yuxi mobilized all her spiritual power, using all the remaining formations and talismans. She felt the power and ability transmitted from the contract within her body and felt somewhat relieved, knowing that there was still a chance.

The benefits of a soul contract are best demonstrated at this time.

Although she cannot physically approach Frederick and Hilcher, she can freely access and use their power and abilities through a contract.

For example, Frederick and Hilcher, who had already survived the same level of tribulation, possessed physical strength that her small frame could not match.

If it weren't for the subtle influence of these two soul contracts on her physique and their passive strengthening of her body, she wouldn't have been able to withstand the first eighty heavenly lightning strikes so easily.

With the lightning tribulation imminent, her heart raced uncontrollably.

The Purple-Gold Lightning Tribulation—she actually had the good fortune to survive the legendary lightning tribulation that only top geniuses were qualified to witness, and she was about to succeed?
Although there is suspicion of "cheating" involved, the benefits after overcoming the tribulation are real.

The stronger the lightning tribulation, the stronger and purer the body and spiritual root will be after tempering. The speed at which the body absorbs spiritual energy will increase exponentially, and the future achievements will be even more limitless.

Feeling the powerful force emanating from the contract within her body, Jiang Yuxi's gaze towards the tribulation clouds intensified.

However, the final bolt of lightning, which was expected to be extremely powerful, fell lightly with an illogical force, striking Jiang Yuxi, who was "fully armed."

Using the "Body Enhancement" skill from the Soul Contract, Jiang Yuxi felt as if she had been electrocuted by static electricity under this lightning tribulation.

Moreover, she didn't even see a trace of the inner demon tribulation that should have appeared!

"These are eighty-one lightning tribulations! How is this possible?!"

Jiang Yuxi looked in disbelief at the tribulation cloud that was supposed to complete its mission and dissipate on its own after delivering a devastating blow.

The tribulation clouds in the sky were spontaneously gathering power again, and their color changed from the original purplish-gold to black...

Unlike the black of dark clouds, this black calamity cloud carries an aura of world destruction.

That aura that threatened to destroy the entire world...
