The only way to fail the Power Tribulation is if your soul energy is completely depleted before the tribulation flames have finished burning.
Thus, the more abundant your soul energy, the easier it is to overcome the tribulation.
Lin Qian's body was already strong, naturally capable of holding vast amounts of soul energy. His soul energy was as boundless as the ocean, making it more than sufficient to withstand the tribulation flames. Unlike others, he didn't need to pause during the tribulation to replenish his soul energy.
And now, even actively circulating his soul energy to summon all five levels of tribulation fire simultaneously posed no problem for him.
Let's not forget, the Tian Gong Department of the Huaxia Empire could channel pure spiritual energy through the Heavenly Scar, converting it into soul energy within his body at an optimal ratio.
Although Lin Qian's tribulation flames were now fully unleashed, creating a grand and intimidating display, for him, it was manageable.
Lin Qian stood calmly, allowing the tribulation flames to burn away his soul energy, tempering his meridians and dantian, thereby enhancing the quality of his soul energy.
People were still waiting to exchange treasures in the hall, so many didn't leave. Some who had already completed their exchanges stayed behind, curious to see how long Lin Qian could endure.
As time passed, people began to realize that something was off.
In their minds, Lin Qian should have perished from playing with fire, yet the tribulation flames continued to burn intensely.
Because the semi-transparent tribulation flames were so vast, the crowd could only vaguely make out Lin Qian's figure standing within the enormous fiery sphere, showing no signs of collapse.
At this point, Lin Qian had closed his eyes, deliberately controlling his internal soul energy and directing the tribulation flames within his crystal-like dantian. He followed the Tian Gong Department's research, maximizing the tempering effect of the tribulation flames on his meridians and dantian.
"This isn't right. The tribulation flames should extinguish if the tribulation fails and the person dies."
"So, he's still enduring the Power Tribulation?"
"Are you kidding? The tribulation fire has grown so massive, yet he's still holding on?"
The human and sea tribe geniuses observing Lin Qian's tribulation whispered among themselves as they watched the giant flame burn.
Some even began speculating how long Lin Qian could endure inside such a massive flame. The previously overconfident genius had lasted half an hour, so many wondered if Lin Qian could break that record.
While they marveled at Lin Qian's endurance, they didn't believe he could ultimately survive the tribulation. After all, once the five levels of flames merged, each level would last an entire day.
Enduring a single level for a day might not seem daunting, but surviving inside such a massive tribulation flame for a whole day...
The thought alone made them shiver. The very idea was terrifying, let alone the reality that Lin Qian was currently facing.
Time continued to pass, and before long, Lin Qian had endured for an hour and a half.
"Incredible. I genuinely admire him," one of the human geniuses commented with sincere respect as he gazed at the figure within the fiery sphere.
"If I were in such a massive flame, my soul energy would be burned away within minutes, leaving me helpless and awaiting death."
"Today, I truly respect him."
By now, no one was looking at Lin Qian with mockery. Instead, they viewed him with admiration.
Many silently asked themselves if they could endure this enormous tribulation flame, and the answer was clear: no.
Lin Qian's ability to last an hour and a half had earned the respect of everyone present. Some even hoped he would succeed and create a miracle.
Inside the tribulation flames, Lin Qian stood tall, his body drenched in sweat. Though the tribulation flames didn't burn anything other than soul energy, the pain was still excruciating.
Pain—intense pain!
That was Lin Qian's current state. Although the Huaxia Empire's support meant he would certainly survive this tribulation, the experience was still agonizing.
As the tribulation flames burned his soul energy, tempering his meridians and dantian, the pain seared deep into his bones. Lin Qian endured it in silence.
Suffering is the path to greatness. To achieve maximum strength, one must endure what others cannot.
"Stronger!" Lin Qian's eyes flashed with golden light as he continued to bear the searing pain within, silently wishing for the tribulation to end soon.
But things didn't go as he hoped. With all five levels of tribulation fire burning simultaneously, the process took much longer than usual.
One day had already passed, yet Lin Qian remained within the fiery sphere, enduring the tribulation.
Clearly, since the five levels of fire had merged, the time for each level to pass had also multiplied.
Lin Qian would need to endure for another four days.
But even after just one day, the onlookers' understanding of the tribulation had been shattered, leaving them in awe of the miracle before their eyes.
When Lin Qian surpassed an hour and a half, some believed that was his limit.
After three hours, seeing him still standing within the enormous flames, many thought he would soon collapse.
As time continued to tick by and Lin Qian persisted for an entire day, everyone was astonished.
They could hardly believe that Lin Qian had managed to endure for so long.
Both human and sea tribe geniuses noticed that the figure within the flames seemed to tremble, as if enduring something immense.
Having experienced the Power Tribulation themselves, they knew the intense pain that came with the burning flames.
And they could only imagine the toll of such massive flames devouring his soul energy.
"Hold on! If you succeed, you'll create a miracle!" one human genius suddenly shouted, unable to suppress his excitement.
His cry spurred others on as well.
"Stay strong! You can do it!"
"You've made it this far. You can make it to the end."
Voices of encouragement rang out. Now, everyone shared the same thought: they wanted Lin Qian to persevere and complete a miracle that had never been achieved before.
After all, hadn't Lin Qian already accomplished the impossible by completing twelve cycles of Nirvana?
Turning the impossible into possible!
