Lord of Heavenly Judgment: The Immortal Path Against the Nine Tribulations

(Leveling-up progression + no System + fast-paced + decisive and ruthless + no brainless antics + thrilling battles)

Also known as: Born without a spiritual root, you call me a jinx? Say it again and I’ll blast you to death with heavenly tribulation!

An overworked corporate drone dies after staying up all night, only to be reborn in the cultivation world as a “Heavenly Punishment Body.”

Born without a spiritual root, he repels the five-element spiritual energy on contact. The Lijian Sect denounces him as an “ill-omened calamity” in front of everyone and kicks him off the mountain.

After four years of body-tempering practice, his fellow disciples have already broken through to the third level, while he still struggles to reach the first. Then the White Tiger Gang throws him out, too!

Does having no spiritual root mean he has to remain a mortal for the rest of his life?

After unexpectedly sweeping a temple for two years, he finds a black sword of tribulation lightning beneath the altar table and obtains the Nine Tribulations Spirit-Transforming Art, a cultivation method meant solely for those without spiritual roots.

Others rely on their spiritual roots to refine spiritual energy. He absorbs the energy of heaven and earth and turns it directly into “tribulation power.” His fireball spell is wrapped in tribulation lightning, his wind blades gleam black and gold, and his mutated spells pack twice the punch!

But this cultivation method is a hot potato.

Every three levels, he must face a tribulation. Others do not undergo lightning tribulation until the Deity Transformation stage, but it crashes down on him as soon as he reaches the Golden Core stage.

His tribulation power is impure and must be refined with a “Tribulation-Transforming Pill,” or the lightning inside his body will explode and tear him apart when he attempts a breakthrough! Worse still, cultivating this art comes with a “God of Misfortune on Your Back” curse. Demonic beasts block his way, cultivators pick fights with him, and evil spirits haunt him: they all flock to him!

Fortunately, he unexpectedly subdues the Peerless Ghost King as his servant from the start. With a Heavenly Punishment Body, he is determined to defy the rules of the immortal path.

Others struggle to survive their tribulations; he turns them into strength!

Others dodge calamities; he charges straight into them to seize opportunities!

So what if I have no spiritual root?

I, Li Lingxin, will prove my Dao through tribulation, shatter the White Jade Capital, and become the “Tribulation-Destroying Dao Lord”!
