The two lightning tribulation clouds were evenly matched, but based on the lightning flashing in the clouds, Jared’s seemed more intense.
While everyone was slightly taken aback, wondering how Jared, a Fourth Level Tribulator cultivator, could attract such a formidable lightning tribulation cloud, a bolt of lightning suddenly came crashing down.
Jared’s and Berthold’s lightning tribulation struck at the same time.
Both of them put away their thoughts and focused solely on surviving the lightning tribulation.
Berthold had the Divine Flame Seal, which could assist him in withstanding a portion of the lightning tribulation’s power.
After all, Berthold’s opportunity for a breakthrough was because of the Divine Flame Seal.
Meanwhile, a series of massive golden lightning bolts continuously struck Jared. Lightning continued to flicker around Jared, yet it seemed as though he made no effort to resist the lightning tribulation.
After a while, the lightning tribulation gradually faded away.
Upon seeing the situation, Judd exclaimed in surprise. “What is Jared doing? Why isn’t he resisting the lightning tribulation? Is he planning to withstand it with just his physical body? He might be wiped out like this!”
What they didn’t know was that Jared had already gained lightning nascence, and his physical body had reached an incredibly
formidable level.
Each successive bolt of lightning that struck Jared only served to temper his physical body further.
A portion of the lightning would also be absorbed by Jared into his own nascence star.
That was precisely why Jared was utterly unafraid of the lightning tribulation.
Berthold was engulfed in flaming energy while the internal flame within the Divine Flame Seal was continually spreading, dissipating the lightning bolts. He was resisting the lightning tribulation, an experience entirely different from Jared’s.
At that moment, Berthold’s clothes were moved by an invisible wind. Enveloped in the flame aura, he appeared like a human torch.
Berthold’s body was suspended mid-air, ceaselessly bracing himself against the lightning tribulation like a god of war.
In contrast, Jared was seated cross-legged on the ground, constantly under the assault of lightning bolts. His clothes were torn to shreds by the relentless strikes, leaving him looking ragged.
It seemed like Jared was incomparable to Berthold on the surface.
However, no one knew that Berthold was resisting the lightning tribulation while Jared was harnessing it.
The two individuals were simply not on the same level, and Berthold was actually the one
incomparable to Jared.
Seeing how disheveled Jared appeared, Berthold was delighted.
Suddenly, a lightning bolt went straight to Jared, as guided by Berthold.
Berthold once again unleashed his lightning tribulation attack on Jared.
He thought there was no way Jared could withstand the lightning tribulation of Ultimate Realm. When Jared saw that, he was overjoyed because he could absorb it.
Additionally, the lightning power within each of those bolts was simply inexhaustible.
Boom!
Jared, with his eyes slightly closed, remained still as lightning tribulation struck down on him.
No one knew whether Jared was dead or alive. However, under such intense lightning tribulation, they thought his chances of survival were not particularly high.
After an indeterminable amount of time had passed, the lightning tribulation clouds looming over Berthold’s head gradually dissipated.
In the sky, a divine beam of light cascaded down, bathing Berthold entirely in its radiant glow.
“He’s made a breakthrough! My son has made a breakthrough!” Upon seeing that divine beam of light, Harlan knew that Berthold had successfully passed the lightning tribulation and laughed.
That was the sight of one ascending to the cultivation level of Ultimate Realm.
A golden divine heart, about the size of a palm, kept flashing on Berthold’s chest.
That was the most evident sign of someone successfully advancing to Ultimate Realm. Berthold had attained the divine heart, thus setting him apart from the ordinary cultivators.
The realms beyond Tribulator could be considered as ascending the stairway to the celestial realm.
The cultivation level after Ultimate Realm was Immortal Realm. At that point, those cultivators would be considered immortals, simply waiting to ascend to the celestial realm.
Crossing the Tribulator cultivation level was a hurdle. Many cultivators found themselves stuck there, struggling to break through to Ultimate Realm.
