Heavenly Tribulation arrived as scheduled.
There were no fierce winds or rolling thunder, nor was there any change in the color of the sky and earth; from the outside, everything appeared normal.
Only the birds in the valley seemed to sense something, suddenly screeching and taking flight, quickly fleeing out of the valley.
Lufan closed his eyes slightly, his expression calm and unperturbed, maintaining the stance of his soft palm technique, standing still.
He was not panicked, as he had long been mentally prepared for this. He did not attempt to escape; it would be meaningless. The world was omnipresent, and he could only endure silently.
But he believed in himself. With the support of numerous Divine Skills, he was already strong enough. He believed that after such a long period of tempering, he had become resilient enough that even the heavens and earth could not erase him!
In an instant, in just a moment! Without any warning, the ground where Lufan stood suddenly cracked with countless fine fissures within a radius of three feet!
This was caused by his inability to control his own power, which had spilled out into the external world.
At the same time, Lufan felt a sudden heaviness throughout his body. The world pressure that he had just disregarded after breaking through intensified dozens of times, firmly suppressing him! It felt as if a heavy shackled weight had suddenly been placed upon him.
This pressure did not come from above but rather squeezed in from all directions towards him. In Lufan's perception, he felt like a bug trapped in amber, unable to move at all.
And in just an instant, that pressure rapidly reached its peak, trying to erase him!
This force carried the might of heaven and earth, pressing down not only on Lufan's body but also on his spirit!
Faced with this dual assault on both body and mind, Lufan showed no fear. He didn't even change his posture; he remained as steady as the earth and immovable as a mountain, exuding an air of contempt for heaven and earth.
He could sense that although this pressure was strong, it was still far from being able to erase him. His growth had been extraordinarily rapid; ultimately, he was ahead of the norms of this world and would be able to survive this tribulation.
He even had enough strength left to carefully comprehend the might of heaven and earth and face the terror before him. This was indeed a rare experience; if he could gain some insights from it, that would be even more remarkable.
In Lufan's perception, he felt an expansive and boundless chaos that encompassed everything and suppressed everything. The slight momentum of madness paled in comparison to the might of heaven and earth.
Even with such momentum, it could not affect Lufan at all. He was already familiar with this kind of world; as long as he held onto his True Heart, he would treat it as if the bright moon were shining on the river and a gentle breeze was brushing against his face.
Unfortunately, the Heavenly Tribulation came quickly and left just as fast. After failing to eliminate Lufan in one blow, it retreated before he could comprehend anything, leaving behind a significantly heavier pressure that persisted on him.
This is what Heavenly Tribulation is like: everything happens in an instant. If you pass through it, you live; if you fail, you die. It's that simple, without any unnecessary embellishments.
Feeling the heavy pressure on him, Lufan waved his hand and estimated that indeed, his power had been sealed by seventy percent. He could only use thirty percent of his strength.
Lufan smiled and didn’t mind; even with just this thirty percent of power, he was still several times stronger than before his breakthrough. Moreover, since he had already passed this tribulation, it meant that he could now freely push himself to reach the limit of his strength in the Refining Body Realm.
With the help of several Divine Skills, his foundation had expanded significantly and was still continuing to grow, far from reaching its limit.
This meant that as his foundational potential increased, he would be able to contain even more power at each level in the future. At that time, he was confident that even with just thirty percent of his strength, he would not lose to anyone at the same level.
Furthermore, this was without him having practiced the two major Divine Skills: the Yi Jin Jing and the Xi Sui Jing. If he were to cultivate these two Divine Skills later on, the power he could contain at each level would be even greater!
At that point, being invincible among peers would not be impossible!
Yes, Lufan, who had established his own path, was this confident. What is invincibility? Invincibility means that even at the same level, I can sweep away all opponents using only thirty percent of my strength; being unmatched is true invincibility!
In fact, if possible in the future and ensuring his own safety, Lufan would even try to fight using only twenty or even ten percent of his strength. If he could still win then, it would mean absolute invincibility and would greatly benefit him in solidifying an invincible heart.
Of course, all of this was still too early; Lufan was far from reaching such a realm. At the very least, he needed to expand his foundation to its limit before he could claim such words.
For now, it was merely an empty fantasy.
However, there was another matter that particularly concerned Lufan. He was pondering how this world had sealed off his strength.
He had noticed a question long ago: although seventy percent of his power was sealed away, his weight had not increased, nor had the pressure on the ground changed. This indicated that the pressure he felt did not come from above.
But if this pressure were centered around him and squeezed in from all directions to form a balance, then it would explain why the pressure exerted on external objects remained unchanged. This seemed plausible but still had flaws.
The previous Heavenly Tribulation indeed operated in this manner; however, what was sealing off his power now was something different.
Because Lufan was wearing clothes, it was supposed that the pressure would be applied to him in that form, and it should inevitably be affected by the clothing.
However, the reality was quite different; the clothes showed no signs of being affected at all.
Moreover, Lufan did not feel any substantial force pressing against him, so this assumption did not hold.
Yet, Lufan could genuinely sense the existence of pressure, which puzzled him the most.
Was it an illusion? Had the world influenced his subconscious, causing him to self-restrict his abilities and only exert thirty percent of his potential?
This was a possibility. Lufan recalled a famous thought experiment from Earth, "Brain in a Vat," along with some well-known movies like "The Matrix" and "Inception."
These experiments and films conveyed a principle: what you believe to be the truth may very well be an imposition from others, merely a suggestion or an illusion, not reality.
Could Lufan's situation be similar? He had no way to confirm this; he simply felt nothing when he focused his mind.
However, Lufan had a sense that as he deepened his understanding, he would eventually discover the true source of his problems. At that time, perhaps he could free himself from this pressure and find a correct path.
After this contemplation yielded no results, Lufan was not disappointed; at least it had ruled out several possibilities. Since the problem could not be solved for now, he decided to focus on his cultivation and fully enhance his strength. A Liuli Jade Bottle appeared in his hand.
To dominate at the same level with only thirty percent of his strength, he needed to possess the most powerful abilities.
