As the shout echoed, Leo formed a seal with his hands, and a brilliant starlight burst forth from his body.
In response to Leo, a massive golden opening appeared at the center of the enormous golden Thundercloud.
“The heavenly tribulation is about to descend,” Violet said, her hands clenching involuntarily.
Holden, Jennifer, and the others couldn’t help but feel tense as well.
Even from a distance, they could sense the terrifying power contained within the golden Thundercloud.
Undoubtedly, if the heavenly thunder targeted them, they would be reduced to ashes.
The golden opening resembled the eye of the Thundercloud, carrying the might of heaven and earth as it gazed down at the small human figure below.
A thick golden lightning bolt, like a colossal golden dragon, shot out from the center opening, crashing down toward Leo!
The golden lightning pierced through the night sky, and as it passed, the space seemed unable to withstand it, showing signs of collapse.
In Leo’s eyes, the golden lightning rapidly enlarged. His expression was grave, and his entire body shone with starlight like silver.
The heavenly tribulation was unavoidable; it had to be faced head-on!
With a loud shout, Leo gathered the brilliant starlight on his right fist. Countless star patterns converged, making it seem as though he held a star in his hand.
Facing the world-destroying golden thunder, Leo leaped up and punched fiercely!
A massive, dazzling Star Fist Light surged upward like a giant radiant star.
The enormous golden thunder crashed into the Star Fist Light.
The Star Fist Light held for two seconds before shattering into countless star fragments.
The golden thunder did not dissipate; it continued its relentless assault on Leo’s body.
Leo was directly blasted into the valley below.
The entire valley trembled violently, and a massive cavern appeared within it.
“Leo!” Violet exclaimed in shock upon witnessing this scene.
The first heavenly thunder was already so formidable!
In the valley, as the golden lightning gradually faded, Leo’s figure slowly emerged.
“The master is unharmed,” Holden said with a hint of delight in his voice as his eyes gleamed.
At this moment, a giant crater appeared at the center of the valley.
In the crater stood a solitary figure.
The starlight on Leo’s body had dimmed significantly. Golden lightning flickered across his skin, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
Despite this, Leo’s eyes remained resolute.
Upon advancing to the Spirit Saint realm, nine Thunder Tribulations typically descended. However, when advancing to the Spirit God realm, eighteen Thunder Tribulations would fall!
Eighteen Thunder Tribulations-how terrifying!
The first Thunder Tribulation had already inflicted minor injuries on Leo. If it had been any other half-step Spirit God realm expert, they would likely have been severely injured.
Yet Leo felt no fear. The Thunder Tribulation wouldn’t just harm him; due to cultivating the Nine Transformations of the Stars, it would also refine his physique.
This was the extraordinary aspect of the Nine Transformations of the Stars technique.
Leo channeled his internal spiritual power, causing the previously dim starlight on his body to shine brightly once more. Then he soared into the sky again.
Boom…!
High above, the massive golden Thundercloud rolled as golden lightning danced. Another even thicker golden thunderbolt struck down toward Leo.
Just like before, Leo gathered all his strength into another punch.
Bang!
The massive Star Fist Light collided with the enormous golden thunderbolt.
The Star Fist Light shattered once more as the golden thunderbolt struck Leo’s body again.
Leo’s body plummeted like a meteor into the depths of the valley, further enlarging the pit within.
After the lightning dissipated, Leo’s solitary figure still stood in the pit.
Dominant golden lightning flickered across Leo’s skin, further enhancing his stellar physique!
“Come again!” Leo shouted defiantly to the sky as he soared upward once more.
Facing the third Thunder Tribulation, Leo punched upward again and was struck down once more…
Then came the fourth Thunder Tribulation!
The fifth Thunder Tribulation!
The sixth Thunder Tribulation…
Underneath the vast golden Thundercloud and its aura of destruction, Leo charged forward time and again!
From afar, Violet, Holden, Jennifer, and others watched that stubborn figure with unwavering attention and concern.
By the ninth Thunder Tribulation, the center opening of the golden Thundercloud had doubled in size. The golden lightning within was more dazzling than ever, brewing an even more powerful Thunder Tribulation.
“The ninth Thunder Tribulation,” Holden said with a heavy tone.
Each Thunder Tribulation grew stronger than the last. By the ninth one-a number of completion-the Thunder Tribulation’s power reached its peak for this stage.
At the center of the massive Thundercloud, golden light gathered as the ninth golden Thunder Pillar crashed down toward Leo’s figure.
In mid-air, Leo’s clothes had turned into tattered strips hanging from his body. Yet there was no fear in his eyes; instead, they were sharper than ever.
With a loud shout, star patterns swirled around Leo’s body, making him appear incredibly radiant.
At this moment, Leo’s stellar physique had reached perfection at its fourth level and was about to break through to the fifth level.
Boom!
As before, Leo unleashed a powerful punch upward with all his might.
The massive Star Fist Light shattered as the ninth Thunder Tribulation struck Leo’s body.
Leo’s body plummeted downward but stopped abruptly a hundred meters above the ground instead of crashing into the pit below this time.
Dominant golden lightning enveloped Leo’s body, forming a golden thunderball in the night sky.
The power of thunder invaded Leo’s skin, flesh, and internal organs.
Within the thunderball, Leo’s hair stood on end as he repeatedly circulated Nine Transformations of the Stars to temper his body with Thunder Tribulation power.
Finally, he reached a critical point.
“Breakthrough to fifth level!” Leo roared as starlight erupted from his entire being at that moment.
The golden lightning encasing Leo was swept away by starlight that illuminated most of the valley like daylight.
Boom!
Under intense energy fluctuations, the golden lightning surrounding Leo collapsed. His upper body was completely exposed with mysterious star patterns etched on his skin-profound and enigmatic.
His stellar physique had finally broken through to its fifth level-the Indestructible Star Body!
Leo clenched his fists tightly as he felt his physique enhanced tenfold from before, a joy he could hardly contain in his eyes.
In cosmic evolution only celestial stars remain unextinguished for millennia. Now possessing an Indestructible Star Body meant self-healing unless decapitated or heart-pierced, a formidable recovery ability indeed!
In Leo’s mind automatically surfaced cultivation methods for Nine Transformations of Stars’ fifth level, the human body has 108 star acupoints, to evolve Indestructible Star Body into its strongest form requires unlocking each acupoint one by one and storing star power within them.
