Chapter 330: Chapter 331 Impossible (1st Update)
Power Tribulation, the whole body’s Soul Power is burned and tempered, and carelessness could permanently damage the meridians and Dantian, making recovery impossible.
Thus, when surpassing this tribulation at the Power Realm, everyone is extremely cautious.
This is the understanding of all Soul Martial Artists. The talents of the Human Clan and Sea Clan who entered the Four Directions World this time also prepared thoroughly when breaking through. They sought a safe and quiet place, undisturbed, to make their breakthrough and withstand this tribulation.
However, there was one person who shattered their understanding, and that was Lin Qian, who had disappeared for more than a year.
Deep within the Exchange Hall, an Array blocked the way, and no one knew what was inside, but Lin Qian suddenly emerged from it.
If it were just that, Lin Qian wouldn’t have left everyone staring agape.
What truly left everyone speechless with astonishment was the Power Tribulation flames burning all over Lin Qian!
At that moment, Lin Qian, surrounded by semi-transparent Power Tribulation flames, walked out grandly from the depths of the Exchange Hall without any discomfort in his expression.
“You… you are undergoing the Power Tribulation?” A Human Clan talent in the center of the Array, exchanging treasures, stared wide-eyed at Lin Qian as he walked past and couldn’t help but ask.
Lin Qian chuckled softly and waved his hand, “Of course, isn’t that obvious?”
“…”
Only a fool wouldn’t notice, but it was just that, after noticing, they couldn’t believe what they were seeing!
Everyone present stared blankly as Lin Qian walked unhurriedly toward Ye Xin and others with the Power Tribulation flames.
At that moment, the Power Tribulation flames on Lin Qian’s body suddenly blazed fiercely, far more vigorously than before.
Everyone present watched Lin Qian keenly, wanting to see how he would handle it.
The Power Tribulation is divided into Five-layered Fire; each layer of the burning Power Tribulation flames increases in intensity. Only after withstanding these five layers of Power Tribulation flames can one be deemed to have successfully passed this tribulation and be promoted to the Power Realm.
The fiercely burning Power Tribulation flames completely enveloped Lin Qian.
However, even with the fiercely burning Power Tribulation flames on his body, Lin Qian’s face showed no change at all, as if he didn’t care about the flames enveloping him, just like when he walked out of the Exchange Hall.
Only now, Lin Qian’s face showed an impatient expression: “I remember that integrating Soul Power into the circulation can bring about the Five-layered Fire sooner…”
Lin Qian did not hide his voice; although he was muttering to himself softly, everyone there had exceptional abilities and keen hearing.
Hearing Lin Qian talk of voluntarily circulating Soul Power to summon the Five-layered Fire prematurely, everyone thought he must have gone mad.
Each layer of the Five-layered Fire was stronger than the last. In the past, there were talents who, confident in their unusual Talent, voluntarily circulated Soul Power to forcibly summon the Power Tribulation flames early.
However, there was only one outcome to such actions: the Soul Power within their bodies was completely burned away, and their meridians and Dantian destroyed, resulting in their deaths.
During the Power Tribulation, one should honestly withstand each layer one by one. If someone, confident like that arrogant talent, forcibly merged the Five-layered Fire by circulating Soul Power, it was simply seeking death.
“This Lin Qian is the same, overconfident in his abilities. It seems even such a figure may perish because of this.”
“Seeing how he was handling the Power Tribulation flames earlier, he would have definitely made it through layer by layer; truly a pity.”
The talents of the Human Clan and the Sea Clan, upon seeing Soul Power begin to condense around Lin Qian, all shook their heads, clearly not optimistic about the other’s actions.
At the same moment they sighed, the Soul Power within Lin Qian’s body surged into motion, and from deep within, a torrent of translucent flames burst forth, instantly igniting the Soul Power within his meridians and Dantian.
In an instant, the Power Tribulation flames within Lin Qian’s body were wildly burning and increasing; in the blink of an eye, his entire body was already enveloped in more than thirty feet of Power Tribulation flames.
Seeing such immense Power Tribulation flames, the surrounding Human Clan and Sea Clan talents were all greatly frightened; they had never seen such vast Power Tribulation flames before.
At this moment, the only thought in their minds was that Lin Qian was surely doomed.
Playing with fire—it’s self-destruction!
Bathed in the enormous Power Tribulation flames, Lin Qian lowered his head to look at his stretched-out hands, carefully feeling the changes within himself as the Power Tribulation flames burnt his internal Soul Power.
To the onlookers, Lin Qian’s actions indeed seemed suicidal; but in fact, he was still handling the current Power Tribulation flames with ease.
The physical body and Soul Power are intricately linked; there must be a specific balance between them, just like the Invisible Clan, whose souls are very potent, making their internal Soul Power also very domineering, but their bodies are extremely frail, leading to imbalance.
Even if the Soul Power is stronger, the physical body cannot be too frail. Conversely, if the physical body is strong, the Soul Power cannot be too weak either.
A strong physical body’s blood and strength also require the support of Soul Power. Powerful and extensive Soul Power also requires a certain strength of the physical body to contain it.
However, Lin Qian’s physical body and Soul Power were both very potent, maintaining a perfect balance.
While the Power Tribulation flames were burning Soul Power, they would not damage the meridians and Dantian; instead, there was an effect of tempering the meridians and Dantian while burning.
If the Power Tribulation flames completely consumed the Soul Power within a Soul Martial Artist’s body, the severe Power Tribulation flames would then directly scorch the meridians and Dantian, subsequently completely destroying them, rendering the Soul Martial Artist a complete invalid.
Usually, by this time, the Power Tribulation flames have completely exploded and begin to burn the flesh, completely incinerating a person into ash.
Boom!
A loud roaring sound erupted, and the Power Tribulation flames on Lin Qian’s body, like oil added to fire, surged violently many times, adding more than thirty additional feet, completely engulfing his figure.
Seeing this, many around him quietly shook their heads, believing Lin Qian was certainly doomed this time.
Normally, while breaking through the Power Realm, one would pass through the first layer of fire, have the meridians and Dantian tempered, and the Soul Power would be stronger than before, then face the second layer of fire, further strengthening.
Such a steady and cautious endurance of the Power Tribulation was the most correct way.
“Arrogance leads to downfall, what a pity,” a Human Clan talent looked at the fiercely burning Power Tribulation flames with a wistful expression in his eyes.
Clearly, seeing a talent like Lin Qian fall because of this, many felt it was unfortunate.
“It’s over, the old man is probably going to kill me,” Fang Ziqian murmured, rubbing his head in distress upon seeing Lin Qian’s figure disappear in the Power Tribulation flames.
Li Yunfeng and Yang Tianhao, among others, also looked troubled, inwardly regretting how arrogant Lin Qian was to actively circulate his Soul Power and let the Five-layered Fire descend all at once.
However, among them all, only Ye Xin believed that Lin Qian would absolutely survive this Power Tribulation, “Don’t worry, Little Qian will definitely hold on.”
“Impossible,” a young talent of the Human Clan gently shook his head from afar, looking at Ye Xin with some pity, as though he thought her unrealistic fantasy was truly sad.
