The power of Yi Tianyun's tribulation spread continuously, affecting more divine realms. This made every cultivator believe that some extraordinary treasure had appeared.
However, the power of the tribulation wasn't limited to the area where he was undergoing it; it kept expanding outward. Thus, it would take some effort for them to find Yi Tianyun.
Yi Tianyun couldn't afford to be distracted by these external matters. He focused all his energy on resisting the Five Elements power. The Five Elements power began to merge, attacking him repeatedly with increasing strength.
Yet, his spear's power was insufficient to withstand it. If one strike weren't enough, he would use two!
His frenzied sweeping attacks obliterated the Five Elements power. Although it seemed easy, he still felt a bit surprised by the rapidly increasing power. Without his recent enhancements, he might have been killed here.
Once the tribulation began, it wouldn't stop unless he died. Otherwise, it would continue relentlessly, no matter how he tried to escape or teleport.
This tribulation would anchor him in place, tracking him no matter where he fled. Such was the power of the Heavenly Dao, encompassing everything!
"What incredible power. Fortunately, I've had breakthroughs; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to withstand even this."
Yi Tianyun's heart sank. After merging, the Five Elements power had reached a strength surpassing the peak of Heaven Monarch, approaching the first level of God Monarch.
Although he had defeated a first-level God Monarch before, enduring a continuous assault of God Monarch-level attacks was terrifying. The tribulation tested his endurance; if he ran out of energy, he would be finished.
Of course, he didn't have to worry about this since he had prepared plenty of recovery pills.
After a full day of enduring the Five Elements power, the surrounding light pillars vanished as if nothing had happened.
However, all the planets around Yi Tianyun had been completely obliterated, not even leaving rubble behind. The Five Elements power had annihilated everything. If he had undergone the tribulation in a populated area, the entire region would have been reduced to dust.
This was why tribulations were typically conducted in secluded places to avoid harming others.
Given the situation, Yi Tianyun expected many curious cultivators to gather. The commotion was too extraordinary, spreading across the divine realms.
"The Five Elements power has passed. What's next?"
Before he could finish his thought, the tribulation changed, turning into yin-yang dual colors and rotating in the sky. The surrounding pressure increased a hundredfold!
"Yin-Yang power?"
Yi Tianyun felt a terrifying pressure at his feet and saw a yin-yang formation squeezing upward. Whether from above, around or below, yin-yang formations pressed in on him.
Instantly, he was trapped with no escape. Although teleporting might get him out, this wasn't a battle but a tribulation. Escaping wouldn't help; he had to endure it until it ended.
As the yin-yang formation pressed in, the pressure mounted from a hundredfold to several hundredfold, continuously increasing.
There were no violent attacks, just the relentless pressure from all directions, trying to crush him.
"This pressure is already at the second or third level of God Monarch..."
Yi Tianyun felt his body being flattened. Despite his fully upgraded Dragon God Bloodline, the pressure was almost unbearable and kept increasing.
And this wasn't even the final stage, implying more trials to come after this!
Eventually, the terrifying yin-yang formation closed in, and Yi Tianyun had to hold it back with his hands. The immense pressure pushed against him, forcing him to extend his limbs to prevent it from crushing him.
"Get away!"
Yi Tianyun roared, unleashing the power of his Dragon God Bloodline. A dazzling red light burst forth as he pushed the yin-yang formation half a meter away. But it didn't stop, continuing to press in.
The yin-yang formation not only had immense pressure but also incredible defense, not easily shattered.
All Yi Tianyun could do was hold on until this stage ended. Meanwhile, the numbers indicating his tribulation progress steadily climbed.
"Breakthrough progress at 51%, 52%..."
Slowly but surely, the numbers increased with time. Unlike before, when he could leap through levels, now he had to undergo tribulation to advance.
Under the relentless pressure of the yin-yang formation, Yi Tianyun's dragon scales began to crack, and blood flowed, turning him into a bloodied figure.
Yet, he held on, his Dragon God Bloodline rapidly healing his injuries, allowing him to endure.
"No tribulation can stop me!"
Yi Tianyun's eyes were filled with determination. Like a giant holding up the sky, he pushed back against the world, creating space with sheer willpower.
This tribulation was as challenging as expected, but he had prepared well. No matter the tribulation, he would overcome it!
