Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

His injuries looked quite terrifying at the moment, his clothes were riddled with holes, and there were over a thousand wounds covering his body, as if he were being cut to pieces while still alive.

However...

Although the injuries appeared to be serious, they were actually not bone-deep and were merely minor superficial wounds that did not affect movement or endanger his life; they only looked frightening.

They were nothing compared to the injuries he had suffered in the Evil State that time, which were far more severe, causing him to even faint for ten days afterwards.

This time was far from that level.

It was just somewhat painful.

After wiping away the blood from a cut on his cheek with his finger, he suddenly had the odd idea to taste it; it was salty, like the taste of rust. Having lost so much blood, he wondered how many days he would need to consume heavenly and earthly treasures to recover.

The power contained in the previous bolt of Heavenly Thunder was something he had never encountered before.

Whether it was the Annihilation Thunder Tribulation or the Ninety-Nine Void Refining Thunder Tribulation, they all seemed insignificant compared to the most recent bolt of thunder, and most importantly, that thunder was not just a Heavenly Tribulation, but also included a Wind Tribulation!

He had depended on the "Merit Protection" entry to block the Thunder Tribulation, using several hundred billion merit points as his foundation to withstand the tribulation; his body just kept feeling numb, but for the Wind Tribulation, he could only brace against it directly!

With his own Protective Spirit Qi and several Protective Spiritual Treasures.

But...

The intermingled Wind Tribulation was also of a rare power, his dozens of layers of Protective Spirit Qi were shattered almost instantaneously, and all his Protective Spiritual Treasures shattered as well!

He didn't have many Protective Spiritual Treasures, the "Heavenly Mechanism Umbrella" being one of them.

He didn't use the Heavenly Mechanism Umbrella just now, fearing that the power of the Heavenly Tribulation would render his umbrella useless. He had grown quite attached to this umbrella, and it was still a growing Spiritual Treasure, so considering both emotional and value aspects, he did not wish to use the umbrella as consumable material for transcending tribulations.

So—he had hoarded enough treasures over the years, including a vast number of Protective Spiritual Treasures. Although they were of lower grade and were not Lifebound Spirit Treasures and he hadn't formed a bond with them to unleash their full power, they could still be used to withstand the tribulations.

Just the first wave had damaged dozens of his treasures.

At this moment!

Without the time for much thought, a deafening roar suddenly echoed between heaven and earth, and then the energy of heaven and earth in the Tribulation Clouds rapidly converged, readying the second bolt of Heavenly Thunder to strike!

The interval between the first and second thunder was a full hundred breaths!

This alone indicated the terrifying nature of the tribulation; the longer the interval, the more time the thunder had used to gather strength.

"...Phew!"

Chen Qiu looked up at the arcs of lightning flashing in the Tribulation Clouds above, sensing that the power of this thunder was far greater than the first. He took a deep breath and didn't hesitate for a moment.

The Void Refining Fourteenth-grade Domain "Unlimited Spiritual Energy" activated!

The Void Refining Fourteenth-grade Domain "Three Thousand Thunders Move" activated!

The Void Refining Fourteenth-grade Domain "Snow Brings Forth Life" activated!

Immediately after, three rings of light spread out rapidly from Chen Qiu as the center, but it wasn't over!

The Void Refining Fourteenth-grade Domain "Magic Enhancement" activated!

The Void Refining Fourteenth-grade Domain "Physical Enhancement" activated!

The two newly emerged rings of light once more expanded rapidly from Chen Qiu as their center. He originally had three Divine Domains, but he also possessed two "Divine Domain Tokens," allowing him to have two more Divine Domains.

He had just been waiting.

To see if he might encounter better domains, but as the thunder fell, he realized he might be facing the biggest challenge of his life and there was no longer any room for error to wait.

Immediately, he did not hesitate and redeemed these two domains right away.

One was for enhancing the strength of spells, the other for enhancing the strength of the physical body. They were redeemed from the Merit Value Store, with a cost of ten billion each.

The price was relatively cheap, especially compared to his other three domains. Mainly, they were basic functional domains without too many fancy effects, very straightforward—one for enhancing spell power, the other for enhancing physical strength, which suited his current needs. He had no use for any others.

...

Under the Tribulation Clouds—

Chen Qiu, surrounded by five Fourteenth-grade Domains, wasted no time and fully activated the Demon Suppression Tower in his hand, quickly releasing a Void Refining Cultivator who was on his last breath.

This cultivator was one from the group that had besieged him in the Heavenly Palace when he first arrived on the Vast Continent.

He had placed several people inside the Demon Suppression Tower at that time. As the Tower was activated, the living creatures inside would be slowly refined to enhance the cultivation speed of those nearby!

And just then, they came in handy.

Luckily, these people were resilient; almost a year had gone by, and they hadn't been completely refined, still clinging to life. Just perfect, they could help him transcend the tribulation. This tribulation was hugely pressuring for him, and he had to use every trick at his disposal.

"Beast... beast!"

It must be said that the released cultivator was still defiant. After being refined for half a year, his body nearly completely consumed, he still cursed Chen Qiu with weak fury the moment he was released.

But soon, the cultivator realized something, looking up rapidly, and what he saw was the pitch-black Tribulation Clouds that engulfed the entire sky and the extremely terrifying pressure coming from them that was so overwhelming he could not even breathe.
