Immediately, Leo waved his sleeve, and hundreds of Spirit Stones from the Azure Dragon Shrine flew out from his Storage Sack, surrounding him.
Leo activated the Nine Transformations of the Stars technique, and a massive cyclone, spanning a hundred feet in diameter, slowly formed above his head.
In the valley, the dense spiritual energy of heaven and earth began to gather towards the cyclone.
The Spirit Stones around Leo continuously released spiritual energy, which entered his body through his pores.
At the same time, the medicinal power of the Sacred Golden Elixir within Leo also began to take effect.
Days passed in the blink of an eye as the sun rose and set.
During these days, the cyclone above Leo’s head never dissipated, and spiritual energy from heaven and earth continuously flowed into his body.
Absorbing this spiritual energy, it was transformed into spiritual power and settled into the golden core, making it increasingly crystalline and transparent.
Within the golden core, the infant’s already solid body became clearer, its small hands occasionally moving gently, showing signs of awakening at any moment.
It was close; the golden core was about to transform into a Spirit Core!
Observing his dantian internally, Leo couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement.
He could clearly sense that the barrier to the Spirit God realm was rapidly thinning.
The Heaven and Earth Thunder Tribulation was approaching!
On the seventh night.
A gentle breeze blew through the valley under the night sky, causing the spirit grass throughout the valley to sway with it.
At some point, the cyclone above Leo’s head began to expand rapidly at a visible speed.
In just a few seconds, it expanded to a thousand feet.
Under the starry sky, spiritual energy from all around frantically surged into the cyclone and then poured entirely into Leo’s body.
The spiritual energy within the hundreds of High-Quality Spirit Stones floating around Leo was exhausted, turning them into powder that scattered with the wind.
Leo’s already powerful aura rose swiftly, with starlight shining brightly around him.
“Breakthrough!!”
Under the starry sky, Leo suddenly opened his previously closed eyes and stood up abruptly. He looked up at the night sky, and his clear voice echoed throughout the valley.
As Leo’s voice rang out, the infant slumbering within his dantian suddenly opened its eyes!
The infant’s eyes were as deep as the starry sky, seemingly containing countless stars, with nine-colored light enveloping its entire body.
Then, the infant stretched out its arms as if it were a newly awakened life.
As the infant extended its arms, they touched the thin membrane of the golden core barrier.
Then, a rich nine-colored spiritual power burst forth from the infant like waves, repeatedly crashing against the golden core barrier membrane.
It was like a cocoon transforming into a butterfly; sufficient strength was needed to break through the cocoon.
The dense nine-colored spiritual power persistently assaulted the barrier membrane over and over again.
After countless impacts, the barrier finally broke open.
At that moment, within Leo’s dantian, a surge of rich nine-colored spiritual power erupted, filling the entire dantian so brightly that Leo could hardly see inside.
At the very moment when the Spirit Core broke through the golden core, a massive and concentrated pillar of nine-colored spiritual power rose from within Leo and shot straight into the sky!
Under the illumination of this nine-colored spiritual power pillar, the night sky brightened, and within a thousand miles, one could see this enormous pillar of light.
Underneath this night sky, above Seven Stars Sect, sounds of breaking wind echoed.
Violet, Holden, Jennifer, Christian, and other high-ranking members of Seven Stars Sect flew towards Leo’s location upon seeing the spiritual power pillar.
Of course, they didn’t get too close to Leo but instead observed from afar at Starstream Hollow where Leo was secluded in a valley.
Looking again at the night sky, within the nine-colored light pillar stood a figure in white robes with eyes as bright as stars.
The aura emanating from him made heaven and earth tremble.
Leo’s divine sense spread out, covering thousands of miles around him.
“Leo has broken through!” Seeing this scene, Violet’s face showed an unmistakable excitement.
“Yes, the sect master has broken through to the Spirit God realm!” Holden said excitedly with gleaming eyes.
Jennifer, Aimee, and others also had faces full of excitement.
Just then, a thunderous roar suddenly echoed across heaven and earth.
With this roar, large patches of golden clouds began to gather high above Leo’s head.
Golden lightning flickered within these clouds, exuding a powerful oppressive aura that made one’s heart tremble.
The golden Tribulation Clouds had appeared!
Gazing at these golden clouds gathering above Leo’s head, Violet, Holden, and others grew serious in their expressions.
When cultivators break through to the Spirit Saint realm, they face ordinary thunder tribulations. However, breaking through to the Spirit God realm brings down a far more terrifying golden Thunder Tribulation.
Boom…!
From within these golden clouds came a rolling thunder that reverberated across heaven and earth.
The golden clouds continued to grow rapidly and could be seen from a thousand miles away.
Underneath these rapidly expanding golden Tribulation Clouds, the massive nine-colored light pillar receded back into Leo’s body.
Leo raised his head to gaze at these high golden Tribulation Clouds with eyes full of determination-it was time to face another Thunder Tribulation!
Cultivators defy heaven by nature; with each major advancement in their cultivation level comes a Thunder Tribulation sent by heaven itself aimed at destroying them during their breakthrough process.
Only by safely overcoming such tribulations can one step into new realms successfully.
Golden Thunder Tribulations are extremely terrifying; many cultivators fail to pass them safely enough to enter Spirit God realm successfully afterward…
What weighed heavily on Leo’s mind was how much larger these golden Thunderclouds were becoming-their overwhelming presence seemed almost suffocating even for him…
In nearby Phoenix Cry City or Zratol City or any other towns close enough around Starstream Hollow where this phenomenon took place-many cultivators flew up into mid-air just so they could witness what was happening above Starstream Hollow…
“Those are golden Tribulation Clouds!”
“As everyone knows-golden Tribulation Clouds only appear when someone attempts breaking through into Spirit God realm…”
“That direction leads towards Starstream Hollow-is Seven Stars Sect’s leader attempting his tribulation?”
Many cultivators watched curiously, yet none dared approach recklessly, not only because being caught within such tribulations could prove fatal, but also due to respect towards someone like Leo who had defeated Spirit God realm experts before.
Finally, the enormous golden Tribulation Clouds stopped expanding, their breadth reaching nearly three thousand feet!
Standing mid-air beneath these massive golden Thunderclouds, Leo looked up solemnly.
Only by standing directly beneath such immense golden Thunderclouds could one truly feel just how powerful this heavenly might really was…
Faced against such overwhelming heavenly might, humans seemed insignificant indeed, but even so, they possessed indomitable spirits unwilling ever give up…
Taking deep breaths, Leo tried calming himself down while adjusting both mindset and state-of-mind accordingly…
Within those gigantic golden Thunderclouds above, thunder roared continuously echoing across thousands miles around…
Golden lightning rolled about carrying enough destructive power seemingly capable destroying entire worlds, it left anyone witnessing it utterly terrified…
Yet despite facing such immense heavenly pressure, Leo showed no fear whatsoever upon his face… After enduring countless trials and tribulations throughout life thus far, he’d finally reached this point today. Surviving this Thunder Tribulation would open up entirely new horizons ahead…
“Come on then, Heavenly Tribulation!” shouted Leo defiantly towards sky above…
