Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 238 Successfully Transcending Tribulation, Foundation Establishment Choice
The eighth wave unleashed seventy-two chaotic sword energies, each with a power of 45.

Su Yu followed the same method, and 156 sword dragons soared into the sky, only to be shattered in the blink of an eye. This time, however, 72 chaotic sword energies remained.

But he remained completely calm, pointing a finger above his head and softly shouting:
"Auspicious Clouds Protect You!"

As the azure clouds expanded, patches of auspicious clouds flew out, instantly increasing the magic weapon's defensive power from 100 million to 800 million, and granting it a damage reduction of up to 75%.

As soon as Qingyun took shape, seventy-two chaotic sword energies engulfed him, and the violent chaotic lightning rings instantly rushed more than ten kilometers away, instantly engulfing most of the suspended mountain.

Chu Xinyue's heart skipped a beat when she saw this scene, and she unconsciously gripped the hem of her skirt tightly with both hands, her small hands turning red without her realizing it.

A gentle breeze blew, revealing its unharmed four-headed, eight-armed true form, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"One last blow!"

Su Yu checked the Azure Cloud Canopy and found that it had only lost 115 million defense, which was only one-eighth of the Azure Cloud Canopy's 800 million defense.

Of course, what was just blocked was only the remnant of the tribulation lightning, probably only about one-eighth of the original lightning.

"But we can handle it!"

If I'm not mistaken, the final strike is eighty-one chaotic sword energies, each with a power of 50, with a theoretical total burst of 4050 million.

"This is outrageous!"

The lightning strikes erupt within a second, so you can only withstand the initial burst; don't expect to switch between different magic items.

With this power, most eighth-tier magic treasures cannot withstand it, and even ordinary ninth-tier defensive magic treasures would have difficulty withstanding it. Only defensive magic treasures like the Azure Cloud Canopy, which come with even stronger defensive spells, can withstand it.

Therefore, Su Yu was not flustered, as his Azure Cloud Canopy was a top-grade defensive magic weapon.

After activating the Azure Cloud Protector, the Azure Cloud Protector provides a total defense of 800 million, but also has a 75% damage reduction, theoretically allowing it to withstand 3200 million damage instantly.

With 850 million damage remaining, and its own Battle Form having 600 million HP and 50% damage reduction, it can theoretically withstand 1200 million damage.

"We can stop it!"

"Moreover, even if the power exceeds expectations, I still have trump cards up my sleeve. I won't use the Law of Heaven and Earth for now."

Su Yu took a deep breath to calm herself down and poured her magic power into the Azure Cloud Canopy to restore its defensive power.

The formula for restoring the defensive power of a magic item is 1% of its maximum mana, multiplied by the mana conversion rate.

Su Yu currently has over 30 mana. 1% is 3000 mana. The mana conversion rate of the Azure Cloud Canopy is 600, which means that it can restore up to 180 million mana per second. It can be said that as long as the mana is not exhausted, the defense will not be broken.

"Buzz!"

As time passed, the ninth layer of tribulation lightning began to converge, and the enormous tribulation lightning disc in the sky began to shrink, condensing into a chaotic sphere.

The blurry figure sitting in the palace within the eye of the calamity slowly stood up and pointed with a finger.

Then the chaotic sphere, which had shrunk to its smallest size, suddenly trembled and split into eighty-one chaotic sword energies that far surpassed the previous tribulation lightning in the blink of an eye, falling like meteors.

"This strike."

Xuanwei Daoist took flight, his expression unchanged, but a barely perceptible hint of anxiety appeared in his eyes:
"The final strike gathered all the remaining power of the tribulation lightning, and its power far exceeded that of the eighth level. I wonder if Xiaoyu noticed it."

An elder standing nearby said in a deep voice:
"Since he is undergoing tribulation, he should naturally have some understanding of the possible situations. It is common for the final blow of the tribulation to be far more powerful than usual, so he should have anticipated this."

"Hopefully he's prepared."

Xuanwei Daoist let out a light breath. He had been cultivating for thousands of years, and it had been hundreds of years since he had felt this tense.

Normally, he wouldn't be nervous about a grand-disciple undergoing tribulation. He wasn't nervous when his many disciples underwent tribulation. It's just that this grand-disciple is different from the other disciples.

The Lesser Chaos Tribulation was the most powerful tribulation in the first Great Heavenly Tribulation, without exception.

If one can survive this tribulation, it means that one will definitely be able to build a superior immortal foundation, and a superior immortal foundation...
This means that not only is becoming an Earth Immortal almost certain, but there is also a very high probability that one will transcend the limits of immortality and mortality in the future and advance to the Heavenly Immortal realm.

The Xuanzhen Immortal Sect has a history of hundreds of thousands of years, and hundreds of super-grade immortal foundations have been born throughout history. In the end, half of these super-grade immortal foundations successfully become celestial immortals, which is an extremely exaggerated probability.

A disciple who is almost certain to become an Earth Immortal and has a 50% chance of becoming a Celestial Immortal cannot be valued too much.

But at this moment, no amount of worrying will help. No one can intervene in the heavenly tribulation; he can only rely on himself to withstand it.

"boom!"

Eighty-one chaotic sword energies engulfed Su Yu in the blink of an eye.

The Azure Cloud Canopy trembled violently, and the auspicious clouds surrounding it shattered piece by piece. The surging azure clouds split into four pieces in the blink of an eye, leaving only a wisp of azure cloud that fell and flew into the space between the eyebrows of the Celestial God.

"kill!"

The Fighting True Body clenched its eight arms and slammed them into the sky. The remaining chaotic sword energy slashed down, and the Fighting True Body quickly collapsed the moment the two made contact.

With its eight arms severed and four heads cleaved, its enormous true form was torn to pieces like tofu under the chaotic sword energy in full view of everyone.

"Oh no, Xiaoyu is going to lose."

The second brother and sister-in-law looked nervous.

Chu Xinyue clenched her fists tightly, her face showing worry.

The grandmaster and master both flew up, looking at the tribulation platform with worried expressions.

Exclamations erupted from the large crowd of onlookers outside the tribulation platform. Some were shocked by the power of the heavenly tribulation, some regretted Su Yu's failure, some felt relieved that their jealousy had been released, and some even harbored a hidden schadenfreude.

Ye Xiyi lowered his eyes, his face expressionless, but he was secretly delighted. "The punishment for failing the Lesser Chaos Tribulation is extremely terrifying. Even if you don't die on the spot, it will take at least ten years to recover. Ten years is enough for me to advance further in my tribulation and leave you far behind."

"My master will also withdraw his attention and focus all his attention on me. When my master passes away in the future, the vast majority of his assets will be mine."

Just as Ye Xiyi was lost in thought, Su Yu, enduring the pain of his true body shattering on the Tribulation Platform, activated the ninth level of the Destiny Reincarnation Sword Scripture's derivative sword technique, [Sword of Time - Flick of Time].

Sword of Time - Flick of Time: Allows you to return to any point ten seconds ago. Cooldown: 24 hours.

He directly zoomed out the time frame to its maximum.

The power of time flowed, and time reversed on him. His torn body was protected by the power of time and quickly recovered from the power of the tribulation lightning. His shattered body healed rapidly, his severed head reappeared quickly, and his shattered eight arms regenerated quickly. In an instant, Su Yu, who was almost dead, was restored to full health.

The eighty-one chaotic sword energies used up most of their power when they broke through the Azure Cloud Canopy, and used up most of their remaining power when they tore apart the Fighting True Body. The remaining power shattered the eight arms again and slashed at the heads, but it exhausted all its power after only severing two heads.

"kill!"

Su Yu roared to the sky, the sound waves dispelling the remaining chaotic sword energy, revealing his true form as a warrior with only two heads and eight severed arms, almost crippled.

"This is?"

"Wasn't it about to break down just now? How come it broke down again?"

"Yeah, I remember all four heads were cut off, how did they come back?"

This change happened in an instant, and most onlookers were unaware of what had happened; only a very few powerful individuals could see what was going on.

The worry on Xuanwei Daoist's face vanished, and he stroked his beard, laughing heartily.
"it is good!"

The many elders of the Suspended Mountain all smiled and bowed to him in congratulations.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother! Another disciple will emerge from our Suspended Mountain!"

Master Xuanwei laughed heartily:

"Happy together, rejoice together."

On the other side, Jin Yinian was equally bewildered and confused, and he didn't even react until his fellow disciples congratulated him.

However, he was always easygoing and never got stuck on things he couldn't understand. He quickly returned the greetings with a smile and a fist salute.

"Congratulations, congratulations! You're too kind, fellow senior brothers and sisters."

"What? You're asking how you taught him?"

"It's very simple. First, you have to do this, and then..."

Standing not far away, Shi Chunan and Jin Qianyue watched their master boasting excitedly and twitched the corners of their mouths.

At the foot of the suspended mountain, Su Huan and Meng Siyi saw Su Yu successfully block the last wave of heavenly tribulation. Although they couldn't see how Su Yu blocked it, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

"For the Lesser Chaos Tribulation, I am at least a First-Grade Dao Foundation!"

Meng Siyi shook her head and said:

"Not only that, it could even be a top-grade immortal foundation."

Su Huan's eyes snapped open, and he murmured in surprise and delight:
"really?"

Meng Siyi rolled her eyes at her husband, but he didn't seem to care and looked delighted.

Chu Xinyue, standing to the side, didn't pay attention to what they were saying. She simply reached out and covered her heart, and her heart, which had been pounding, relaxed.

Meanwhile, Su Yu, the focus of everyone's attention, was extending his eight arms to absorb the sweet rain descending from the Eye of Heavenly Tribulation. His two severed heads and shattered eight arms were rapidly regenerating, and all his injuries, blood, and magical power were recovering at an astonishing pace.

However, none of that is the main point. The main point is that as he successfully passed the Heavenly Tribulation and the power of the Heavenly Dao descended, all the qi, blood, magic power, and physical strength in his body were merging into one under the influence of the power of the Heavenly Dao, forming his own Dao foundation.

"Notification: You have successfully survived your first great tribulation and are now forming your Dao foundation!"

"Notification: You have successfully survived the first Great Tribulation. Your maximum level has been increased to 199."

"Notification: You have successfully survived the first great tribulation. Your lifespan limit has been increased to 600 years."

"Prompt: Based on the type of Heavenly Tribulation, your cultivation method, and other potential, you can build the following foundations. Please make a selection within 600 seconds. Otherwise, a random selection will be made."

"The Mysterious Court Immortal Foundation is formed using the Mysterious Court Treasure Manual, a supreme-level Qi refining technique, as its core (click to view details)."

"Battle Immortal Foundation: Condensing an immortal foundation using one's own Nine Heavens Battle Immortal Body as the core (Click to view details)."

"The Immortal Foundation of Time: Condensing an immortal foundation with the Law of Time as its core (Click to view details)."

"Ancient Dragon Immortal Foundation, formed with the bloodline of a true dragon as its core (click to view details)."

"Spatial Immortal Foundation: Condensing an immortal foundation with spatial laws as its core (Click to view details)."

"This"

Su Yu carefully examined the detailed information of each of these immortal foundations, quickly gaining an understanding of their situations, and then her expression softened slightly.

At first, he thought that these immortal foundations were based on one type of power, which was integrated and covered other power systems.

In reality, it is both, and it isn't.
