Through the new and improved cultivation method given to him by his friend, Lucius' body, soul and qi strengthened simultaneously, preparing him for the tribulation he was about to face. Once his strength reached the point of breakthrough, without warning, fire rose from beneath him slowly. This was the first level of the Hellfire Tribulation and was just as slow as his first time facing the tribulation, this time however, it was far stronger. Lucius could breeze through the tribulation without feeling much effect as his strength was far above what it should have been and thus the tribulation was too weak to make him feel pain. The last time he faced the tribulation the strength of the fire was proportional to Lucius' strength even through the increased strength he had because of the transitional altars. This time though the tribulation could not detect or comprehend the power he had gained from the infinity aura.
