Thunder roared across the sky as the second wave of eighteen lightning tribulation arcs descended. At that moment, the Azure Veil Blade let out a clear cry and landed in Joe Di's hand.
Joe Di didn't have time to check the grade of the Azure Veil Blade before more than ten lightning arcs crashed down on him.
Crack! Crack! This time, there were far too many lightning arcs. Without the Azure Veil Blade summoned, several of Joe Di's bones fractured under the onslaught.
With the Genesis Body Codex circulating, the broken bones rapidly healed. Joe Di felt his physical strength surge, and he channeled his true essence to break through the barrier to the Void Spirit Stage.
Boom! Boom! Muffled bursts of true essence erupted inside Joe Di, and the bones that hadn't fully recovered fractured again under the relentless impact. Blood spurted from wounds left by the lightning arcs.
Joe Di couldn't understand why the barrier to the Void Spirit Stage was so thick. He could clearly sense it, but simply couldn't break through.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The third wave—twenty-seven lightning arcs—had already fallen, their massive bolts filling the sky and weighing on Joe Di's heart.
Each wave increased by nine lightning arcs. If he still hadn't entered the Void Spirit Stage by the fourth wave, could he withstand thirty-six arcs? No, for the Nine-Nine Lightning Tribulation, the fourth wave should also be twenty-seven arcs.
After the fourth wave of lightning arcs, the tribulation should be over. But if he couldn't break through to the Void Spirit Stage, even twenty-seven arcs would be impossible to withstand.
Joe Di had no time to worry about his injuries. He pushed the Starstream Technique to its limit, flooding every cosmic vein with rich, pure true essence.
