9: Chapter 9 Sevenfold Tribulation

"Di Tian, could you have sensed it wrong? Perhaps it is not a Spirit Beast about to break through to one hundred thousand years, but a Vicious Beast Undergoing Tribulation?" Xiong Jun frowned and hummed.

Di Tian looked at him as if he were an idiot, and the others did the same. If there really were such a Vicious Beast, how could they not know about it?

"That Spirit Beast Undergoing Tribulation, it wouldn't have been blasted into slag, would it?" Chi Wang crossed his arms over his chest and said coldly.

Di Tian looked up, his gaze fixed on the rolling thunderclouds in the sky. "It's not over yet!"

"What on earth is happening in the mountains?"

The Myriad Demon King also realized the seriousness of the problem. He absolutely believed Di Tian's words; if there was still a Heavenly Tribulation falling, it would be the fifth Heavenly Tribulation.

You must know that for an ordinary one hundred thousand year Spirit Beast to break through, three Heavenly Tribulations is the limit, and some extraordinarily gifted Spirit Beasts can break through four Heavenly Tribulations.

Yet at this moment, there was actually a fifth Heavenly Tribulation, and it was a scarlet Lightning Tribulation that only the Vicious Beast level could attract.

It is hard not to suspect what kind of terrifying thing must have happened in the mountains to attract such a Heavenly Tribulation!

Before everyone could recover, the fifth Heavenly Tribulation arrived in an instant.

The vault of heaven rippled intensely once more, the thunder Domain shone with an even more blinding light, and the power of this fifth Heavenly Tribulation doubled again... sixteen bolts of scarlet lightning!

In an instant, the entire sky was filled with blood color, as if the God of Heavenly Punishment was acting on behalf of the Heavens to punish and eradicate heresy.

Atop the mountain Peak, the Lightning Tribulation light raged wildly, and lightning pythons surged madly, forming a dense sea of Lightning Tribulation around him.

A few branches of the Thunder Prison Vine Spirit were also broken, but it continued to wave its severed limbs, dancing amidst the thunder and lightning in the air, like a mad demon.

Lin Feng sat quietly on the ground, letting the scarlet electric bolts in the sea of lightning burrow into his body.

When the first Lightning Tribulation struck his body, Lin Feng's entire body shook violently, and countless electric currents rushed into every corner of his body. Although these currents were incomparably violent, they felt tingly and numb, just like a full-body massage.

The Divine Thunder Body Refining Art operated crazily within his body, absorbing the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, causing his Physique, which had not broken through for a long time, to rise slightly once again.

The blue-purple Lightning Tribulation from before was no different from the thunder Lin Feng usually invoked; at best, it could be considered a slightly more powerful thunder.

Immediately following this, the scarlet Lightning Tribulation fell, more powerful and more violent than the purple Lightning Tribulation, the power of the Lightning Tribulation rushing into his body like a wild beast.

Under the stimulation of the scarlet Lightning Tribulation, the Divine Thunder Body Refining Art operated at high speed, greedily absorbing the Power of Thunder. The Thunder Prison Vine was also bathed in the Lightning Tribulation, like parched fields encountering sweet dew from the heavens.

Such power of Heavenly Tribulation, let alone humans, even looking at the Vicious Beast ranks, few Vicious Beasts could safely absorb it under the Lightning Tribulation.

But Lin Feng had achieved it. During these five or six years, his thunder body refining had never stopped. His Physical Body had been tempered to transcend the category of humans; it would be no exaggeration to call him a humanoid Vicious Beast.

Now, having been struck by all kinds of thunder, he began to try the even more fierce and overbearing Heavenly Tribulation thunder. If any human or Spirit Beast saw him absorbing the power of the Lightning Tribulation, their jaws would likely drop in shock.

Whatever the thunder strikes, nothing remains!

Atop the mountain Peak, apart from a sea of lightning, there was nothing else.

Above his head, the Holy Light Unicorn spread her holy wings and flew in the air. Under Lin Feng's deliberate control, it released a tiny bit of scarlet Lightning Tribulation to help her Breakthrough.

However, even though the bulk of it was absorbed by Lin Feng, just this tiny bit of Heavenly Tribulation tortured the Holy Light Unicorn to the point of unbearable pain, her white wings scattered on the ground, looking incomparably miserable.

Thunder continuously poured into Lin Feng's body. Being in the center of the lightning pool, the thunder absorbed was greater and faster, far superior to the Power of Thunder usually absorbed.

Not only that, the Divine Thunder Body Refining Art surged with a hot current, rapidly recovering the injuries in his body, and the Shadow Demon Scythe was also fully releasing the power of blood and Qi.

Working in tandem, the injuries were actually recovering and restructuring at an incredible speed, replenishing his blood and Qi.

"So refreshing! My Soul Power actually increased by two levels directly, reaching the Peak of level forty-seven. Absorbing a Heavenly Tribulation actually increased my Soul Power by three levels directly; not even cheating could be faster than this, right?"

Feeling the rise of Soul Power within him, Lin Feng's spiritual altar became increasingly clear. The Physical Body and Spirit cannot be separated; the stronger the power of the Physical Body, the more the power of the Soul will be nourished and strengthened.

Under his control, the speed of the Divine Thunder Body Refining Art surged again, constantly absorbing the thunder in the sea of lightning. Those scarlet Lightning Tribulations that wanted to get rid of him were all transformed into nutrients for his growth.

Absorbing the Spirits of Heaven and Earth, borrowing the wonders of Heaven and Earth, peeking at the laws of Heaven and Earth, seizing the essence of Heaven and Earth!

Continue... The more the better!

The thunder Domain seemed to be brewing a big wave. Just as Lin Feng was ecstatic, the Lightning Tribulation in the sky suddenly stopped.

Until a hundred breaths later, sixty-four bolts of scarlet lightning flashed suddenly in the sky, skipping the sixth Lightning Tribulation directly and arriving at the seventh Lightning Tribulation, as if to kill him in one fell swoop.

The sixth and seventh came one after another, making Lin Feng curse on the ground.

The several Vicious Beasts in the core area were numb. Just how many more folds were there? The Heavenly Tribulation seemed to have no end in sight...

Who on earth is the sacred being breaking through in those mountains?!

"Investigate, find out for me exactly who is Undergoing Tribulation in the mountains!" Di Tian said with a gloomy expression. The matter had already exceeded his expectations. When things are abnormal, there must be a demon; he had to find out the reason clearly.

The other four Vicious Beasts nodded one after another, then turned into balls of light and headed in all directions, gathering manpower to begin exploring towards the mountains.

"Master!" At this moment, the Holy Light Unicorn had successfully passed the one hundred thousand year Heavenly Tribulation and successfully evolved into a Holy Unicorn. Her eyes revealed a worried look.

Seven-fold Heavenly Tribulation; even when she broke through the five hundred thousand year limit, she couldn't reach that level. Could Master really withstand it?

Sixty-four bolts of lightning falling at the same time, what kind of terrifying scene was that?

The vault of heaven split open, the earth crumbled, and all creatures looking towards this world had their eyes covered by the dense scarlet thunder.

That was supreme heavenly might; no one knew what had actually happened...

Even the Spirit Beasts sent out by the four Vicious Beasts to search were scared out of their wits when they saw this scene, crazily leaving the area within tens of kilometers around the mountains, for fear of being affected by the Lightning Tribulation.

Even the Holy Unicorn flew away; at this moment, she didn't even have the qualifications to take another look. That terrifying heavenly might was simply not something her level could reach.

After the seventh Lightning Tribulation, the thunder Domain above the vault of heaven finally quieted down. There was no more lightning raging and bursting, and the rolling thunderclouds slowly dissipated with the wind.

"Finally over..."

"Seven-fold Lightning Tribulation. Xiong Jun, how many folds of Lightning Tribulation was it when you crossed your four hundred thousand year limit?" The Myriad Demon King said with a sigh, looking at Xiong Jun.

Xiong Jun remained silent. After a long time, he slowly said: "Six-fold scarlet tribulation! Who on earth is that in the mountains?"

"Could it be a Vicious Beast from another region that came to our Star Dou to undergo tribulation?" Chi Wang also spoke up at this moment.

"That possibility cannot be ruled out. In short, everyone be careful for now. An external expert has entered Star Dou; we must be on guard!" Di Tian narrowed his eyes and said coldly.

The others also nodded.

...

In the sea of lightning, the scarlet Lightning Tribulation light contracted crazily amidst hissing. A person's figure became increasingly clear in the scarlet Lightning Tribulation, until a palm pierced through the sea of lightning, and a face was finally revealed again.

"Master!" Seeing that Lin Feng was still alive, the Holy Unicorn was overjoyed and hurriedly flew down from the sky.

Her body stopped outside the lightning pool; she dared not cross the scarlet lightning pool.

At this moment, Lin Feng was stark naked, with only a layer of scarlet Lightning Tribulation light covering his body like maggots on a bone. The left half of his body had been blown to pieces, with cracked, pink flesh exposed to the air.

"Cough, cough..." Lin Feng's face was as pale as paper. A mouthful of blood sprayed from his mouth, and his whole body suddenly knelt on the ground, gasping for air in large gulps.

"Master, are you okay?" The Holy Unicorn was spinning around anxiously outside the lightning pool, her four hooves stamping the ground rapidly as she shouted at Lin Feng.

"I won't die..." Lin Feng grinned, smiling extremely brightly.

I have to say, the power of the sixty-four-fold scarlet Lightning Tribulation exceeded his imagination. This was no longer a realm that a Mortal could reach, but a true punishment from the Heavenly Dao.

Lin Feng looked at his missing half-body and gasped in his heart. Even this didn't kill him; his life was truly tenacious.

Fortunately, there was a trick in the Divine Thunder Body Refining Art to absorb thunder and recover injuries; otherwise, these injuries alone would have been enough to make him suffer...

Lin Feng held his breath and focused, fully operating the Divine Thunder Body Refining Art to absorb the scarlet Lightning Tribulation in the sea of lightning.

As the Power of Thunder flowed wantonly through his Meridians, he clearly felt a rich force of vitality released from within his body, beginning to repair his broken body.

Half an hour later, the left half of Lin Feng's body had completely recovered. He reached out and touched his arm; the skin there presented a scarlet color, with lightning crackling and popping, looking incomparably wondrous.

Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction. Not bad, the newly born body was even stronger, and it was worth the two months of painstaking planning.

After recovering from his injuries, Lin Feng continued to operate the divine art to start absorbing the scarlet Lightning Tribulation. At this moment, more than half of the sea of lightning around him had not been absorbed; it could not be wasted.

With no Lightning Tribulation affecting him, Lin Feng's absorption speed became very fast. In just half an hour, the hundreds of meters of scarlet sea of lightning were absorbed clean by him, leaving only a few drops of scarlet liquid.

"Master, are you okay?" The Holy Unicorn spread her wings and flew to his side, gently rubbing her head against his shoulder, her golden eyes revealing a hint of joy.

Lin Feng gently stroked her head. "Nothing happened; it seems you have successfully broken through!"

"Yes, Master, I am now also a one hundred thousand year Spirit Beast," the Holy Unicorn said.

"Not bad."

Lin Feng laughed happily, then he collected his thoughts and took out a cyan jade porcelain bottle from his spirit tool to collect those few drops of scarlet liquid.

Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Liquid; this is a rare resource mentioned in the Divine Thunder Body Refining Art. It can only be conceived and born in an extremely intense sea of thunder, making it extremely precious.

There were seven drops of Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Liquid in total. In the days to come, even without summoning the Heavenly Tribulation, it would be enough for his own Cultivate needs.
