The true essence attribute Ye Yun awakened this time was fire, so as soon as Ye Yun's mind withdrew from the game, he found himself completely immersed in a sea of fire.
And Ye Yun was like a king in this sea of fire. With a single thought, the sea of fire turned into a thousand-meter giant dragon, soaring and circling around the Dragon Palace Building. Then it transformed into a fire phoenix, soaring into the sky, and then plunged into Ye Yun's brow, directly reaching his dantian.
"Damn, I didn't even have time to see if my previous lightning skills were still there." Ye Yun looked at the pale giant clouds in the sky and immediately soared into the sky, heading directly into the depths of the cosmos.
Previously, Ye Yun's physical body had undergone the baptism of heavenly tribulation during his realm breakthrough, reaching the peak of the God King realm. After this, Ye Yun's physical strength and blood value in the game had nearly doubled. His physical strength directly broke through the God King realm and reached the Monarch realm.
There were countless cultivators in the world, but only one in ten thousand would specifically cultivate their physical bodies. After all, cultivating the physical body was much more difficult than cultivating true essence. It not only required withstanding millions of times the pain of ordinary cultivators, but also progressed slower than cultivators. The most frustrating thing was that the heavenly tribulation when the physical body broke through made people feel quite helpless.
Cultivating the physical body was called external cultivation in the cultivator world.
External cultivators were generally divided into two types: one was those with poor innate talent, whose path of internal cultivation was blocked. They had no choice but to embark on the path of external cultivation, but this situation was difficult to achieve without great perseverance.
The other situation was those with exceptional innate talent. They would slow down the speed of their realm breakthroughs, constantly using their true energy to nourish and cleanse their physical bodies. This way, while improving their physical bodies, they would have a greater chance of success in facing the heavenly tribulation when breaking through realms.
The emergence of the Heavenly Dao allowed cultivators with dull talent to take many fewer detours. Especially for those external cultivators, it provided more choices. At least they could cultivate internally, and at least they could continue external cultivation without suffering so much pain.
Boom...
Ye Yun flew out of the starry sky, and a vast energy kept swirling around Ye Yun, constantly conjuring the phantom image of a mountain. After each loud noise, the phantom image of the mountain became more solid.
Ye Yun had no information about the heavenly tribulation of the physical body. He didn't know how powerful the energy of the heavenly tribulation was, nor how many layers it would have. Therefore, he could only stay far away from Blue Star.
One, two...
As the phantom image of a mountain solidified, another appeared behind it, and another. A total of five appeared! From a distance, it looked like a giant beast's claw.
Buzz...
The heavenly tribulation was fully charged. A mountain, like a meteor, instantly streaked across the sky and crashed towards the fleeing Ye Yun.
Ye Yun, who was flying, suddenly spread his Flowing Wind Wings and swept them to the side. His entire body instantly turned around and advanced instead of retreating. His right hand turned into a fist, and his muscles bulged violently, bringing with them a terrifying airflow.
When undergoing heavenly tribulation of the physical body, all true essence defenses were futile. Even the attacks of true essence could not offset the slightest bit of energy from the heavenly tribulation. Only a pure head-on collision was the correct way to undergo heavenly tribulation of the physical body. This was precisely why all cultivators had the most criticism for external cultivation.
Boom...
The mountain shattered, and the rocks turned into dust, then became flying ash under the immense momentum. The collision of immense power created a dust explosion spanning a thousand miles.
A mountain and Ye Yun were like two colliding meteors. Ye Yun was sent back more than ten miles by the collision. Fortunately, he reflexively used true essence to erect a shield, blocking all the dust. However, with only dust visible, Ye Yun could not determine when the second wave of heavenly tribulation would strike.
"What the hell! My divine sense can't penetrate this dust?" Ye Yun's expression was extremely grim. His eyes couldn't see, and his divine sense couldn't sense. He was completely in a passive state of being beaten.
Just as Ye Yun was in a daze, he suddenly felt his hair stand on end. He felt two great terrifying beasts attacking him from both sides. Just as Ye Yun was about to react, the dust particles that had just exploded became heavy as a thousand pounds, greatly affecting Ye Yun's speed.
"I'll be damned!" Ye Yun cursed, unleashing all his strength, shaking the dust a hundred meters away and spreading his arms horizontally.
Boom...
Ye Yun's ears buzzed, and his head spun. As soon as he regained consciousness, he felt a heavy pressure rushing towards him from above and below.
This was too shameless. No wonder cultivators feared undergoing heavenly tribulation of the physical body so much! The mountain in his hand did not shatter because of Ye Yun's outburst of power. Instead, it felt unusually hard.
Moreover, the mountains behind were not as huge as the first one. They were only five or six meters high, but their mass was hundreds of times that of the first one.
The biggest difference between Ye Yun and other cultivators was that he had not undergone the heavenly tribulation of the physical body before the Monarch realm. This was because his physical body had progressed too quickly due to the influence of the game world's defense attribute, and it was exceptionally stable. Coupled with his own cultivation of several passive defensive skills in the game, his physical body greatly surpassed the standard amount of heavenly tribulation.
Bang...
The smoke and dust dispersed. The aftermath of the immense force swept the dust that was originally a hundred meters away another five hundred meters away.
A ripple that would have been enough to overturn Blue Star millions of kilometers away only caused a small wave within a thousand-mile radius around him due to the presence of this dust.
However, Ye Yun had no time to dwell on that. His veins were bulging all over his body, and his face was flushed red.
Being squeezed like this was too f***ing uncomfortable!
Ye Yun had no doubt that if he let go, he would definitely be buried by these four mountains of unknown material. He felt even more uncomfortable than the Monkey King under the Five Finger Mountain.
"Barely, too barely. The bones in my left hand are cracked. No wonder this heavenly tribulation was triggered this time. My physical strength is just at the threshold of undergoing tribulation!"
Heavenly tribulation was like this. When your own strength crossed the threshold and advanced to a certain extent, it would not trigger.
Blood trickled from Ye Yun's ears and eyes, and his mouth also bled. Sweat mixed with blood stained his chest. This was the first time Ye Yun had been injured. It was a pity that his cultivation of the Extreme Rank was useless against this heavenly tribulation of the Monarch realm physical body.
