As brand new feelings and various emotions poured into his heart, Ning Cheng instantly forgot about the matters relating to the Thunder Tribulation.
At this moment, he felt as if he had become the master of the universe, and felt as if he could grasp anything and everything within the palm of his hands. It felt as if the entire starry skies had become his plaything, and felt as if he could arbitrarily change anything within the space.
No, this feeling is not correct
. At the same moment that Ning Cheng perceived something wrong, he also gained a much clearer understanding of something else through the Mysterious Yellow Origin. In other words, with the help of the Mysterious Yellow Origin, he got a more thorough understanding of his own Domain.
This was Domain, this was his Domain
; Ning Cheng finally came to an understanding.
His Domain was different from that of Lan Yan and Jing Wuming. According to what Ning Cheng heard, the Domain Realm was where one would focus on forming a Domain. He was a cultivator who had just entered the Domain Realm; as such, his Domain definitely had not reached grand completion. Only when a cultivator’s Domain reached grand-completion would they be qualified to attempt the Nirvana Tribulation before advancing to a true starry skies’ level powerhouse, the Celestial Novice Realm.
However, at this moment, he felt that his Domain was gradually perfecting itself. He could even control the scope of his Domain and could use his Domain to bind anything and everything around him arbitrarily.
This was not the process someone would experience, and build upon, allowing his or her Domain to reach grand completion; instead, it felt as if his Domain had already started at grand-completion and was further perfecting itself.
What was going here?
Ning Cheng closed his eyes and immersed his mind into his Domain. As Ning Cheng felt his own Domain, everything around him turned silent. Only an occasional meteorite whistled past over his head.
“Boom… Katcha…..” A lightning arc descended without even a warning, breaking Ning Cheng’s silence.
Still unprepared, two more thick lightning arcs descended and stuck straight at Ning Cheng’s chest. These two lightning arcs almost tore apart Ning Cheng from the inside out. Even his bones deformed from the power. The flesh over his chest ripped out and sprayed the surroundings with blood. This terrible change immediately cased Ning Cheng to sober up.
What is going on? Had he not just gotten through the Domain Realm’s Thunder Tribulation? How could such a terrifying lightning arc descend?
“Boom-Boom-Boom…..” Not waiting for Ning Cheng to understand, another dozen similarly thick lightning arcs started to descend. Although these lightning arcs had not yet struck Ning Cheng’s body, the horrifying power contained within it caused Ning Cheng to feel fear involuntarily.
This Thunder Tribulation definitely wanted his life; at the same time, none of Ning Cheng’s past Thunder Tribulations could compare to the one he currently faced.
Ning Cheng no longer thought about the issue with his Domain and quickly brought out his Everlasting Blue Thunder City.
“Bang-Bang-Bang…..” Since the moment he stepped into the Soul Essence Realm, Ning Cheng had never experienced a state similar to what he currently faced. The Everlasting Blue Thunder City had just come out when the descending lightning arcs shattered it apart. The superfluous lightning arcs then continued their trajectory downwards towards him. A large portion of flesh and blood blew out under the explosive impact of the lightning arcs. The bones no longer remained deformed, and were breaking apart an inch at a time, even his internal organs suffered massive damage.
Ning Cheng, at this moment, honestly felt the fear of death. Could he even survive today?
36 Cosmic True Devil Axes, Flame Deacon Diagram, Nirvana Spear, the shadow of the Everlasting Blue Thunder City, Ning Cheng brought out everything he had one after another….
“Ka-Ka-Ka-Ka…..” The True Devil Axes blew apart one after another, the Flame Beacon Diagram turned to ash under the descending lightning arcs, and even the Nirvana Spear shot into the depths of the comet due to the impact. As for the shadow of the Everlasting Blue Thunder City, it once again blew to smithereens.
The incredibly powerful lightning arcs forced Ning Cheng into the ground, while Ning Cheng could not even breathe properly.
What was going on?
The next wave of thunder tribulation was already brewing within the endless starry sky. Ning Cheng did not have to think about the outcome, if he waited for the next wave of thunder tribulation to descend then, it would only mean death for him.
He had a Thunder Spirit Root that could absorb Thunder Source to help in his cultivation; he also possessed the Everlasting Blue Thunder City, an object that could similarly consume the Thunder Source. However, this descending Thunder Tribulation was too terrifying, too powerful; he just could not fight against it at all.
No,
this was not the Domain Realm’s Thunder Tribulation; it should be the Nirvana Tribulation.
Ning Cheng suddenly came to an understanding. He had just advanced to the Domain Realm; however, his Domain had already reached grand completion. Because of the laws in this place, he had involuntarily instigated the Nirvana Tribulation.
After understanding this reason, Ning Cheng’s fighting spirit once again soared to great heights. The reason Ning Cheng felt afraid before was due to a lack of logic behind the descending tribulation, now that he realised that this was the Nirvana Tribulation, how could he remain fearful of it?
Moreover, he was also a Body Forging Cultivator; therefore, at this moment, Ning Cheng crazily started operating the Mysterious Yellow Formless and the Body Forging Cultivation Method at the same time.
What caused Ning Cheng to feel pleasantly surprised was that after he involuntarily gained mastery over his Domain, his cultivation began climbing upwards rapidly, and his broken body began to heal at a rate visible to the naked eye.
“Boom-Boom-Boom….” Dense and thick lightning arcs rained down. At the same time, Ning Cheng also no longer showed his previous hesitation.
To die with one’s head held high, without a shred of fear.
Nirvana meant re-birth, how else could one find Nirvana if one did not face death? Ning Cheng did not know if the others also met a similar Nirvana Tribulation as him; however, he could only think in that direction.
Although his corporeal body showed severe signs of continually breaking down, even resulting in a fragmented body; however, after Ning Cheng realised that this was a Nirvana Tribulation, he knew that his cultivation had improved by a lot in a short period. Bringing out the shadow of Everlasting Blue Thunder City and forcibly pulling out the Nirvana Spear, Ning Cheng used the two of them to block the descending lightning arcs.
“Ka-Ka-Ka-Cha…..” The shadow of the Everlasting Blue Thunder City blew open, and the Nirvana Spear blasted into the depths of the broken comet once again.
The excess lightning arcs continued to descend onto Ning Cheng’s body causing the powerful Thunder Source and the starry skies’ Essence Qi to start aggregating. Although Ning Cheng’s vitality plummeted, his cultivation climbed up wildly. Even the Mysterious Yellow Origin went all out and overflowed into Ning Cheng’s body as if it sensed the peril its master faced.
“Boom…..” A convoluted and the most profound sense of breaking through all shackles caused Ning Cheng to turn slightly sluggish. At this moment, he felt as if his Sea of Consciousness had suddenly transformed into a starry sky. This kind of powerful feeling caused Ning Cheng to feel ecstatic. He knew that this most likely signified the entrance into the Celestial Novice Realm.

“Boom-Boom-Boom…..” Another wave of tribulation t
hunder descended. This time, Ning Cheng found it too late even to bring out the shadow of the Everlasting Blue Thunder City. Crazily operating the Mysterious Yellow Formless and the Body Forging Cultivation Method was all that he could do. A whirlpool condensed out of the starry skies’ Essence Qi with Ning Cheng at its centre as he continuously absorbed it.
Ning Cheng did not have the time to marvel at the powerful absorption capabilities of Celestial Novice Cultivators when it came to the starry skies’ Essence Qi when even more tribulation thunder arcs bombarded his body.
Flesh and blood once again separated from his body; however, what made Ning Cheng feel surprised was that his bones did not continue shattering. Instead, they were gradually solidifying and healing under the constant operation of the Body Forging Cultivation Method.
Ning Cheng immediately understood the underlying reason, that is, this Nirvana Tribulation simply was too powerful. However, after his cultivation started to advance towards the Celestial Novice Realm, it simultaneously improved his absorption of the Thunder Source, which directly influenced his Body Forging Cultivation.
This Nirvana Thunder Tribulation felt as if it could go on forever. Ning Cheng, after barely forming a balance with the descending sword-like lightning arcs, did not feel willing enough to bring out the Everlasting Blue Thunder City. He thought that this was the best opportunity to improve his Body Forging Cultivation.
Although Ning Cheng had absorbed a massive quantity of starry skies’ Essence Qi, he felt that the rate of utilisation was now turning slower. When he was in the Plundering Life Realm, if he absorbed this much starry skies’ True Essence, it would definitely enhance his strength. However, currently, his cultivation was once again slowly turning stable, and could no longer continue forward with the same hurricane-like speed as before.
Ning Cheng could not help feel helpless about such a situation. He knew what caused it. The laws in this place were much stronger compared to the True Cultivation World he came from, and he could absorb the starry skies’ Essence Qi, which was more effective than Spirit Qi, even before reaching the Celestial Novice Realm. All of these factors allowed his cultivation to soar. In just three years, he grew from Crucible Transformation Realm all the way up to the grand-completion Plundering Life Realm.
Now he even had broken through to the Celestial Novice Realm; however, this caused the effect of the starry skies’ Essence Qi over him to worsen immediately. In other words, compared to other cultivators, he no longer held superiority. If he wanted to cultivate at the same speed as before, he could only do so if he found a place with better quality starry skies’ Essence Qi, or obtain and use a higher grade of matching cultivation resources.
Fortunately, his Body Forging Cultivation Method remained unaffected; therefore, it caused his body to strengthen continuously even under the descending Thunder Tribulation Arcs.
“Bang” When the last few lightning arcs struck Ning Cheng’s body, Ning Cheng’s body that had supposedly suffered grievous injuries under the descending thunder tribulation, began to heal at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Ning Cheng remained prone on the ground while continuously operating the cultivation method to supplement the Body Forging Cultivation Method and re-condense his body. Although his cultivation could not rise anymore at this moment; however, his body had actually managed to break through to the Tier 7 God Body.
As the Thunder Tribulation finally dissipated, the surrounding area once again turned quite like before.
Not knowing for how long, Ning Cheng finally opened his eyes and slowly sat up.
Feeling the starry skies’ Essence Qi flowing within, Ning Cheng could not help but shout out in joy. His previously fragmented body under the Thunder Tribulation no longer looked injured at all. If it were not for his messy hair, and the surrounding ruins, that proved he had undergone a Thunder Tribulation, Ning Cheng would have doubted if he had advanced just by taking a nap.
Advancing to a Tier 7 God Body, Ning Cheng also felt as if his body had turned even perfect. The perfected body resulting from undergoing repeated forging finally started to manifest itself fully.
The only regret was that his skin colour had turned slightly pale, which probably was a result of excessive blood loss. If he continued to cultivate, he should slowly return to normal.
Ning Cheng raised his hand, and it once again gave him the feeling that he could grab anything with his hand at any time, whether tangible or intangible.
This should be the result of his Domain reaching grand completion, Ning Cheng thought while letting out a sigh of relief. When he was in the Sea Opening Realm, he had managed to obtain a Fake Domain. Although he had no one to teach him, because of the help provided by the Mysterious Yellow Formless, he finally managed to reach the Plundering Life Realm, while even his Domain had unknowingly almost reached grand completion.
Looking back at his combined Domain Realm and Nirvana Tribulation descending almost simultaneously, others might consider it incredible, but Ning Cheng did not feel much surprised about it at this moment.
Reaching the grand completion in the Domain Realm always led to inciting the Nirvana Tribulation. It also showed that his understanding of Domain was far beyond that of ordinary cultivators; as such, the rapid advancement to the grand completion of the Domain Realm was not a strange event. This was somewhat similar to Jing Wuming’s statement before he left; that is, he had ample savings.
Unfortunately, such good things might never appear for the second time. From now on, Ning Cheng would have to work hard like the others to absorb the starry skies’ Essence Qi and advance systematically like ordinary cultivators.
Ning Cheng wanted to get up and wash before changing into a fresh set of robes before going out and testing the limits of his cultivation. Most importantly, he wished to turn his Maximal Flame Spiritual Technique into a real spiritual technique. Only after advancing to the Celestial Novice Realm did Ning Cheng feel that he could now display the full might of, at least, common Spiritual Techniques.
However, at this moment, a ray of light rapidly shot towards him. In just half a moment, this ray of light descended onto the broken comet that Ning Cheng stood on.
Ning Cheng quickly put on the robes with his fastest speed and then looked at the person who arrived on the broken comet.
It was a gorgeous woman, wearing light cyan-coloured tights that perfectly outlined her figure. The supple bulge at both the front and the back, combined with her somewhat watery eyes, made it so that people cannot help but want to get close to her.
However, these were not what Ning Cheng felt most concerned with, what Ning Cheng cared most was that this young woman had a pair of silver wings behind her. That ray of light that he just saw a moment ago must have come from that pair of silver wings. It instantly reminded Ning Cheng of his own Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds.
Just as Ning Cheng’s gaze fell on the pair on the pair of silver wings, the wings behind the young woman suddenly disappeared.
“Senior.” Ning Cheng greeted her with cupped fists. This young woman felt as if she had higher cultivation than even Lan Ya. There were also two vague and indistinct Celestial Wheels floating behind her, indicating that she probably possessed a Celestial Gatherer Cultivation.
Thinking of the Celestial Wheel, Ning Cheng found that he had not condensed a Celestial Wheel even after advancing to the Celestial Novice Realm. Was it a problem with his cultivation method, or was it because he improved in a short time?
“Quite the perfect body, you would not be an unknown even in a great region. Looks like you have a perfect Body Forging Cultivation Method, good, good…..”
In front of this young woman, Ning Cheng could not help feeling a bit embarrassed. This young woman apparently saw him while he changed clothes. However, when this young woman spoke about the perfect Body Forging Cultivation Method, Ning Cheng immediately became alert.
“If I’m not wrong, you should be called Ning Cheng, right?” The young woman’s unbri
dled gaze swept Ning Cheng from top to bottom. “Teng Hongkuang really must have turned blind to actually think of you as a cultivator in the early stages of Plundering Life Realm. If I had not come here by myself, with the aura of Nirvana not yet fully dissipated from the surrounding, how could I have known that you just crossed the Nirvana Tribulation?”
“Who is this senior?” Ning Cheng grabbed the Nirvana Spear and stared at this young woman with caution in his eyes.
He had never seen this woman, yet this woman knew that he was Ning Cheng. If it were someone from the Graceful Star Mainland, then it would be fine. After all, he was still a well-known figure in the Graceful Star Mainland. However, in this piece of starry skies, he was not even a passer-by. So how did this woman know him?
“Previously when you hid in your Immortal Cave in the Tyre area, our people couldn’t drag you out. However, you are out of luck now. Meeting me, Ni Feng, right after crossing the Nirvana Tribulation is your reward. If you hand over your cultivation method, then I can give you a chance to live as my slave. Otherwise…..”
As Ni Feng spoke until here, she stared at Ning Cheng as if looking at lamb ripe for slaughter.
“You are from Ocean Gambling’s Premier Casino.” Ning Cheng suddenly realised. This woman named Ni Feng had said the name Teng Hongkuang, which most likely referred to the name of that brown-haired male cultivator called Deacon Teng.
“I heard that you were very cunning, but didn’t think you’d have such a slow reaction. I’ll give you three breaths of time, one…..” Ni Feng spoke with disdain.
“Keep dreaming.” Ning Cheng clenched his Nirvana Spear tightly and stared at Ni Feng. He knew that escaping from the woman in front of him would prove impossible.
“Let’s see if I’m dreaming shall we….” Ni Feng spoke as she raised her hand and shot out dozens of silver rays, almost similar to her silver wings.
Ning Cheng, facing Ni Feng’s attack, could no longer feel his Domain. The area that he formerly controlled disappeared while the dozen bright rays even suppressed his breathing. The seemingly bright glow gave Ning Cheng a terrifying feeling of danger.
