Douluo: Not enough blood? Use your brain

The sound of thunder arrived in an instant.

This was thunder emitted by the laws, not created by rolling thunderclouds.

Because the thunderclouds hadn't even gathered yet.

Only after the thunderclap did dense lightning power converge.

Without even thunderclouds, dense lightning power condensed, forming two different forces that fell simultaneously.

A thunder tribulation mixed with a heavenly tribulation.

Xu Yuan looked at the scene of these two forces falling at the same time, a slight stirring in his heart.

“Heavenly tribulations have no benefits, but thunder tribulations do, so, if I draw down both tribulations at the same time, wouldn't I be able to use the benefits of the thunder tribulation to compensate for the wounds of the heavenly tribulation?”

If the thunder tribulation was a one-to-one ratio of benefits and drawbacks, and the heavenly tribulation was twice the drawbacks, then the fusion of the two might only have a benefit-to-drawback ratio of one to three, but having compensation versus not having compensation is already a qualitative change.

The strength of the heavenly tribulation lies in not giving soul beasts续航 (xiù háng - continued endurance/sustain).

But with the power of the thunder tribulation acting within it, it's different.

Moreover, the intensity of the thunder tribulation is basically fixed, while the heavenly tribulation becomes more terrifying with each passing year of the ferocious beast. If the heavenly tribulation mixed with the thunder tribulation is of extremely high age, will it drive the mechanism of the thunder tribulation?

“It's possible. After all, the mechanism of the thunder tribulation originates from the laws of the universe, while the heavenly tribulation is artificially imposed. If the heavenly tribulation is too strong, it will inevitably subconsciously mobilize the power belonging to the thunder tribulation, which the laws of the universe will not allow. Perhaps it won't increase the power source of the thunder tribulation, but it can prompt the thunder tribulation to devour the lightning power of the heavenly tribulation and transform it into a stronger thunder tribulation.”

A one-to-one thunder tribulation meets a ten-part heavenly tribulation, and finally becomes a three-to-nine mixed tribulation.

Xu Yuan clicked his tongue, directly exclaiming that he had discovered a bug in the heavenly tribulation.

“As expected, there will always be loopholes in the subsequently added code.”

After the two soul spirits have passed through the tribulation, find a way to verify it. If the conjecture is correct, Xu Yuan feels that he can now fulfill his promise to the Silver Dragon King.

The mechanism of the heavenly tribulation?

I'll solve it for you in two months!

“Star Lord, increase the speed of stripping, increase the intensity of swallowing, I will help you with all my strength, let's cross the tribulation together this time!”

Xu Yuan said to the Star Lord.

The Star Lord was puzzled, not knowing what medicine Xu Yuan had taken, to let him cross the tribulation with Illusion Star at this time.

Heavenly tribulations are different from thunder tribulations; they really can stack.

However, he still trusted Xu Yuan.

In fact, Illusion Star's tribulation was very stable, and with Xu Yuan's help, it would be even more stable. Now, Xu Yuan was not helping Illusion Star, but instead began to fully help the Star Lord improve, cross the millennium, and quickly begin to cross the heavenly tribulation.

Illusion Star:? ? ?

Illusion Star, who was still crossing the tribulation, was immediately shocked.

His huge body bathed in lightning, looking at the Star Lord beside him, his big eyes filled with doubt.

What are you doing?

Xu Yuan instantly shared his thoughts with the two through mental link, and they understood what Xu Yuan was doing.

Verification!

“You two, concentrate on crossing the tribulation, I will strip away two kinds of energy for you!”

Xu Yuan summoned Absolute.

“Absolute, you help me too.”

Although all the power consumed by the soul spirits came from Xu Yuan, Xu Yuan's soul power was quite vast, and he had a super mech integrated within him, storing a massive amount of soul power.

Absolute erupted with terrifying swallowing power, swallowing the two energies, then stripping them apart, and injecting them into the bodies of Illusion Star and Star Lord after diversion.

The pressure on Xu Yuan lessened, and he finally had the energy to further sense the power of the mixed tribulation.

In just a moment, Xu Yuan's laughter echoed in the valley.

“Hahaha, I'm really a genius!”

It worked!

Illusion Star and Star Lord crossed the heavenly tribulation at the same time, and because they were both Xu Yuan's soul spirits, their heavenly tribulations merged together, greatly increasing the intensity.

However, only Illusion Star had drawn down the thunder tribulation.

Therefore, the intensity of the thunder tribulation was significantly lower than that of the heavenly tribulation.

However, Xu Yuan felt that Illusion Star's thunder tribulation was strengthening, without any additional lightning power converging.

The source of the power that made the thunder tribulation stronger was self-evident.

“Hahaha, Star Lord, feel your heavenly tribulation.”

The Star Lord sensed the power of the heavenly tribulation falling on his body and discovered that after his body was damaged by the heavenly tribulation, strands of power were giving him new life.

Xu Yuan supplied him with some life energy at the right time, and suddenly, life was conceived in the midst of destruction, the power of the thunder tribulation burst forth, and the wounds in the Star Lord's body quickly recovered.

Although the heavenly tribulation was no longer pure destruction and annihilation, the intensity of the heavenly tribulation that the Star Lord faced was more than doubled.

Fortunately, with Xu Yuan's help, the Star Lord gritted his teeth and persevered.

On the other side, the most miserable one was Illusion Star.

The same mixed thunder tribulation, but inexplicably stronger by a level.

“Illusion Star, since you want to evolve, then let's make it more thorough!” Xu Yuan's voice entered Illusion Star's mind.

The supply of life energy had a certain break, and Illusion Star felt that his origin had been wounded by the heavenly tribulation.

However, as Xu Yuan operated the 《Five Elements Heaven Art》, in the Starry Sky Visualization Diagram, the positions of the five great soul spirits formed the Five Directions Heavenly Origin Grand Array, and Illusion Star's situation quickly stabilized.

Dense life energy struck again, and with the profound meaning of destruction and rebirth of the thunder tribulation, he also began to transform.

“Operate the 《Five Elements Heaven Art》!”

This was Xu Yuan reminding Illusion Star.

Of course, Illusion Star had already prepared, and while Xu Yuan was enduring part of the power of the heavenly tribulation for him, he freed up energy and operated his soul spirit version of the 《Five Elements Heaven Art》.

The difference was that he did not fuse bloodlines, but fused pure five elements power.

“Mountains and Rivers, Five Elements Runes!”

Xu Yuan shouted again, and countless complex five elements runes appeared densely on the scroll of Mountains and Rivers.

The power of the five elements burst forth and merged into Illusion Star's body.

At this moment, the five elements runes of Mountains and Rivers were inseparable from Illusion Star.

Similarly, Xu Yuan's three-in-one martial soul fusion skill also had a splicing node.

The power of thunder was endless, lingering over Devil Island for a long time.

With Xu Yuan's constant exploitation, the two major power sources at the core of the valley did not diminish in the slightest, still releasing seemingly endless destructive energy and life energy.

North Sea Legion.

Legion Commander Shen Yue was awakened from her sleep.

She quickly rushed into the command room, gathering intelligence from all sides within the legion, and deploying all the means that the North Sea Legion had arranged near Devil Island.

“What happened on Devil Island? Could it be that the destructive energy inside has erupted again?”

Looking at the scene above Devil Island on the monitor, Shen Yue felt that it was very different from the past.

She didn't know what it meant, but it didn't prevent her from reporting it.

Here it comes, here it comes~~~

Chapter 521: The Bug in the Mixed Tribulation

Xu Yuan didn't care about the changes in the outside world.

At this moment, he was fully assisting Illusory Star and Star Lord in transcending their tribulations.

At first, the two soul spirits absorbed life energy and destruction energy separately, clearly distinct.

Now, the two types of energy absorbed by the two soul spirits are no longer pure. Under Xu Yuan's regulation, Illusory Star has absorbed a certain amount of destruction energy, more thoroughly obliterating its original source, thereby creating a newer and more complete source. Star Lord, on the other hand, uses life energy to trigger vitality amidst destruction.

Of course, the so-called source here is not the source condensed by the plane, and does not include the convergence of timelines.

"The Heavenly Tribulation will become stronger as the soul beast's cultivation increases. At the same time, transcending the Heavenly Tribulation and the Lightning Tribulation can strengthen the Lightning Tribulation with the help of the stronger Heavenly Tribulation, thereby changing the essence of the Heavenly Tribulation's killing. However, it is impossible for the soul beast to complete hundreds of thousands or even millions of years of cultivation before transcending the Lightning Tribulation."

As Illusory Star's evolution entered its final stage and the dangerous period passed, Xu Yuan also had extra thoughts.

He also knew that this bug he discovered was not a complete solution to the problem of Heavenly Tribulation.

A normal soul beast would find it difficult to simultaneously transcend a 100,000-year Lightning Tribulation and the first Heavenly Tribulation a thousand years later.

Not to mention having a cultivation base to break through 200,000 years 100,000 years ago.

Cultivation is not strength.

The strength of soul beasts has never been equal to their cultivation. The so-called cultivation lifespan is just a standard for the strength of soul beasts, but that is only the most basic strength. The real situation is that the strength of soul beasts varies due to bloodlines and soul skills. Among them, there are powerful ones that can burst out the strength of a 100,000-year soul beast when they have a 10,000-year cultivation.

This is the difference.

However, even if a soul beast has the combat power of a 200,000-year ferocious beast when it has a 100,000-year cultivation, it cannot trigger a 200,000-year Heavenly Tribulation.

The Heavenly Tribulation triggered by soul beasts depends on their cultivation, that is, the quantity and quality of soul power accumulated.

Therefore, if you want to trigger the Lightning Tribulation and the Heavenly Tribulation at the same time, you must at least ensure that you can increase your cultivation by a thousand years in a short period of time, that is, directly break through from less than 100,000 years to more than 101,000 years.

And if you want to trigger a stronger Heavenly Tribulation, you either need to find another ferocious beast that needs to transcend the Heavenly Tribulation, or increase your cultivation by 100,000 years at once, that is, increase from 100,000 years to 200,000 years in a short period of time.

And the latter is obviously impossible.

As for the former, if the soul beast that is transcending the tribulation at the same time is the one undergoing the first Heavenly Tribulation, it is fine. But if it is a ferocious beast that is hundreds of thousands of years old, it will be a devastating change for the instigator who is transcending the Lightning Tribulation.

Therefore, this bug discovered by Xu Yuan still has huge limitations, and there is no perfect solution to the Heavenly Tribulation mechanism of soul beasts.

It's just that for powerful ferocious beasts, there is an extra cruel method of transcending the tribulation, that is, when transcending the Heavenly Tribulation, they grab a soul beast that is about to transcend the 100,000-year Lightning Tribulation, find natural treasures for it, and transcend two tribulations at once. The Heavenly Tribulation merges with its own Heavenly Tribulation, and then crushes the Lightning Tribulation, but is absorbed by the Lightning Tribulation, thereby realizing a mixed tribulation.

Such an increase in tribulation is not considered a big deal for ferocious beasts with a high age, but instead adds the characteristics of the Lightning Tribulation, giving them a chance of survival.

This chance of survival may be the key to transcending the tribulation.

For example, Di Tian, with his status among soul beasts, can definitely find such a soul beast, but Xu Yuan is not sure how the final million-year Heavenly Tribulation will be.

Since it is to stop soul beasts from becoming gods, its degree of despair is obviously not limited to ordinary god-level, and it is likely that even if there is a chance of survival, the intensity of the mixed tribulation will definitely not be something that soul beasts can overcome.

"The method of mixed tribulation still needs to be studied. After all, only mixed tribulation can perfectly utilize the future Heavenly Tribulations." Xu Yuan had his own plans in mind.

He has a full five soul spirits, each of which is different and represents his achievements in different directions. He will definitely upgrade them to the god level step by step, and the number of Heavenly Tribulations that will be transcended during this period will definitely be a lot.

So much power of Heavenly Tribulation, so much power of thunder, he is naturally reluctant to waste it.

These are all powers of thunder that his soul spirits will attract through their own efforts. If he can't make use of them, Xu Yuan will feel sorry for his cute soul spirits.

And mixed tribulation is obviously a method of using Heavenly Tribulation.

As long as the mechanism of vitality in destruction is triggered, there will be an opportunity to devour all this power.

"Illusory Star, Star Lord, let's try it out. The Thunder Tempering Body Technique should have the ability to mobilize these Heavenly Tribulation powers. Leave the devouring to me."

After Illusory Star and Star Lord passed the dangerous period, Xu Yuan decided to let them try it out first to see the effect of devouring Heavenly Tribulation.

"Okay!"

"Understood."

Illusory Star and Star Lord each began to operate Xu Yuan's Thunder Tempering Body Technique in their own way.

Among them, Illusory Star showed his form, which was very similar to his initial Phantom Beast form, except that various parts of his body were shrouded in a strong power of the five elements, unpredictable. With the flow of the power of the five elements, his form was also undergoing slight changes.

The power of the five elements devoured the power of Heavenly Tribulation, and then circulated in the body. The meridians in his body changed constantly. With the change of the power of the five elements, meridians extremely similar to those of the human body actually appeared.

Star Lord's tentacles spread out, and each tentacle became a conductor, guiding all the power of Heavenly Tribulation into the body. Then, the body was like a huge star map.

In its huge eyes, a star map similar to Xu Yuan's visualization diagram appeared. The difference is that the structure of its star map is different from Xu Yuan's visualization diagram. The only similarity is its form, which is the pattern of star power operation.

The power of Heavenly Tribulation circulated in the star map of its eyes, rapidly tempering its body.

Xu Yuan took a deep breath, feeling the huge power of Heavenly Tribulation that appeared in his body.

This is all the power of Heavenly Tribulation absorbed by the two soul spirits.

He operated the Heaven Devouring Earth Destroying Great Technique.
