After reaching the strongest realm of the Star Body, even super-powerful beings in the third phase of Spirit God found it difficult to break through its defenses.
However, now was not the time to consider breaking through the star cavity; Leo still had to face the terrifying Thunder Tribulation.
When the ninth Thunder Tribulation failed to strike down Leo, the golden Thundercloud looming in the night sky began to churn violently.
This time, the rolling was far more intense than the previous nine times. Amidst the turbulence, the massive golden opening at the center of the Thundercloud swiftly closed.
Sizzling sounds filled the air as golden lightning bolts slithered through the Thundercloud like dragons, and the pressure emanating from it grew increasingly formidable, signaling an even greater attack brewing.
As Leo braced himself, amidst the rumbling thunder, the tenth Thunder Tribulation arrived.
This time, it was not a Thunder Pillar but a thousand streaks of golden lightning.
These thousand streaks of lightning resembled a thousand golden Thunder Dragons, leaving traces of spatial collapse in their wake.
The target of these thousand streaks was precisely where Leo stood.
At the edge of the back mountain, Holden, Violet, and others watched the thousand streaks of lightning with grave expressions.
The power of the tenth Thunder Tribulation had clearly escalated to a new level compared to the ninth, its might amplified several times over.
Leo shouted loudly, his eyes bursting with starlight, and dazzling starry light emanated from his body.
In the next moment, Leo transformed into a stream of starlight, actively confronting the thousand streaks of golden lightning.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The thousand dragon-like streaks of golden lightning struck Leo’s body in their entirety.
In almost an instant, a massive golden thunderball formed around Leo’s body.
The golden thunderball enveloped Leo completely and then compressed and exploded!
With a resounding boom, the golden thunderball dissipated, revealing Leo’s figure once more.
At this moment, Leo’s bare upper body was covered in countless terrifying bloodstains, marking every corner of his body.
Yet in the next second, these bloodstains began to heal rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Within seconds, the bloodstains vanished, and Leo’s skin returned to its original state.
The regenerative ability of the Star Body was indeed astonishing.
Leo felt a surge of joy in his heart.
In the night sky, the golden Thundercloud churned once more, lightning danced across it, and its pressure grew even stronger.
Two thousand streaks of golden lightning streaked across the night sky, crashing down towards Leo.
This time, the force was even stronger than before!
Facing the eleventh Thunder Tribulation, Leo’s eyes gleamed with determination as he decided to use the secret technique obtained after breaking through to the fifth realm with Nine Transformations of the Stars.
Starry light surged around Leo’s body, encircling his right fist as he punched towards the eleventh Thunder Tribulation.
With this punch, two thousand streaks of starry fist light erupted from Leo’s right fist like meteors across the sky, heading towards the two thousand golden thunder dragons.
The might of heavenly tribulation was formidable; within two seconds, all two thousand golden thunder streaks shattered and disappeared against the fist light.
The golden lightning streaks struck Leo once again, but as before, his injured body quickly healed and returned to its original state.
Then came the twelfth Thunder Tribulation, followed by the thirteenth…
By the fourteenth Thunder Tribulation, five thousand streaks of lightning had descended!
Leo successfully endured yet another Thunder Tribulation.
Next came the fifteenth Thunder Tribulation.
The increasingly powerful force and attack strength of Thunder Tribulation gradually eroded Leo’s confidence and caused his heart to sink bit by bit.
Leo knew well that despite possessing the Star Body, relying solely on it to withstand the remaining Thunder Tribulations was nearly impossible.
In this Cultivator’s World, most cultivators approached Thunder Tribulations with extreme caution and made extensive preparations in advance, such as carrying various defensive spiritual weapons.
Leo’s approach of not only using Heaven and Earth Thunder Tribulation for body refinement but also relying entirely on physical endurance was exceedingly rare.
“Body refinement ends here; now it’s your turn!” Leo’s eyes flashed with anticipation as he spoke to himself.
With this thought in mind, Leo reached into his Storage Sack and retrieved a bronze scroll from within.
With a swift pull of the scroll in his hand, silver light burst forth from it instantly. Amidst swirling sword energy, a pure silver figure emerged from within.
The pure silver figure was none other than the Puppet General sealed within the scroll.
The Puppet General’s pure silver armor shimmered with dazzling silver brilliance, surrounded by fierce sword energy.
As Thunder Tribulation descended, Leo focused his mind and directed Puppet General to confront it head-on.
Puppet General’s entire body radiated brilliant silver light as it boldly faced the overwhelming barrage of golden lightning streaks descending from above.
The figure of Puppet General surged forward and was instantly engulfed by six thousand terrifying streaks of golden lightning.
In the next moment, Puppet General’s body plummeted like a meteor while the remaining force of golden Thunder Tribulation surged towards Leo.
Leo’s pupils contracted as he once again activated his Star Body and mobilized spiritual energy for a second layer of defense.
“Boom!” Amidst a deafening roar, the valley shook violently, and another large crater appeared on the ground.
Within this crater lay Puppet General that had endured Thunder Tribulation’s bombardment earlier.
Under the impact of remaining Thunder Tribulation forces, Leo’s figure rapidly descended until he barely managed to stop about a hundred meters above ground level.
In mid-air, countless bloodstains reappeared on Leo’s skin before they began healing swiftly once more.
Leo couldn’t help but cough twice; earlier Thunder Tribulation had caused some internal injuries within him.
Leo tilted his head upward, his gaze fixed on the towering thunderclouds above. Golden streaks of lightning flickered within, unleashing an increasingly overwhelming pressure that seemed to bear down on the very heavens and earth.
Then, his eyes shifted downward, settling on the Puppet General. With a mere thought from Leo, the Puppet General surged out of the massive crater and appeared by his side.
The Puppet General’s body was now wrapped in fierce, crackling lightning. Its once-pristine armor bore numerous dents and depressions, and the radiant silver sheen of its form had dulled significantly.
However, Leo’s keen eyes noticed something remarkable: as the Puppet General absorbed the lightning coursing across its body, a faint golden glow began to emanate from its surface. Even its once-lifeless eyes now carried a subtle golden hue.
This discovery filled Leo with a surge of excitement. *Indeed, harnessing the power of the heavenly thunder, the Puppet General can evolve further!*
As this thought crossed his mind, a glimmer of anticipation shone in Leo’s eyes, impossible to conceal.
Boom…!
In the night sky, the massive thunderclouds churned violently, their roars echoing for miles.
“This is already the fifteenth Thunder Tribulation.”
“I’ve never witnessed such a terrifying display of Thunder Tribulation before.”
“If the Sect Master of the Seven Stars Sect successfully endures this Thunder Tribulation, our Martial Dynasty will witness the birth of its first Spirit God Realm cultivator in centuries!”
At this moment, in the cities of Phoenix Cry City, Clear Breeze City, and Zratol, countless cultivators watched in awe from afar, their eyes fixed on the thunderclouds swirling above Starstream Hollow.
The heavenly tribulation granted Leo little time to catch his breath. As the thunderclouds churned relentlessly, the sixteenth Thunder Tribulation descended with a deafening roar.
