I gritted my teeth against the surging energy, the raw power of the tribulation coursing through every fiber of my being. The pain was profound, each strike of lightning feeling like a relentless assault on both body and spirit. Yet, deep within, I embraced the agony, recognizing it as the crucible that would forge me anew.
As the lightning struck, a primal force surged in my dantian. I could feel the profound changes unfolding within, a tumultuous dance of energy reshaping the very core of my existence. The pain intensified, but so did the realization that this tribulation was the gateway to something greater.
My body strained, muscles tensed against the overwhelming surge of power. The lightning's dance overhead became a symphony to accompany my journey through the tribulation. With each crackle, I sensed my body growing stronger, adapting to the celestial forces at play.
