136: Chapter 136 Tribulation of Lightning Tempering the Body!

RUMBLE!!!~~~

A ten-thousand-foot-long purple Dragon of Lightning, carrying the heavenly might capable of shattering mountains and rivers, crashed down. Wherever it passed, the Void Realm shattered layer by layer, leaving behind a winding, pitch-black spatial rift. It seemed as though even the light between heaven and earth was completely devoured by this violent Dragon of Lightning.

Watching this purple Dragon of Lightning, Chen An did not dodge, nor did he circulate the Dan Qi within his body to defend. Instead, he violently threw out a punch with his right hand.

BOOM!!!~~~

With a roar, the Void Realm trembled, and the sky for ten thousand miles was instantly filled with purple-gold lightning. The scattered lightning energy blasted huge, deep craters into the land that had already been leveled, and even underground magma spewed out.

"Hiss!~~~"

"To actually withstand the divine Lightning Tribulation with his Physical Body, this person's attainments in the Lightning Dao are truly unfathomable!" A hundred miles away, Xuan Zhantian protected his body with Dan Qi, his eyes fixed tightly on the figure Undergoing Tribulation, and he could not help but gasp.

"It's not just his attainments in the Lightning Dao; this person is using lightning for Body Tempering, so his Physical Body must also be extraordinary!" Supreme Elder Cang Wanli's white eyebrows danced, and a look of shock flashed across his eyes.

The violent aftermath of the lightning collision gradually dispersed. Chen An stood in place, his robes fluttering, his skin wreathed in a layer of fine, fragmented lightning. His sinews and bones, numbed by the power of the Lightning Tribulation, were not damaged; instead, he felt a faint, tingling sense of fullness.

He focused his mind, and the Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor Scripture within his body spontaneously operated at full speed. A suction vortex, invisible to the naked eye, formed around him. The scattered lightning energy dispersed between heaven and earth, like fish returning to their nest, poured continuously into his body through every pore.

The violent power of the Lightning Tribulation began to rampage as soon as it entered his body, but Chen An gritted his teeth. He operated the Cultivation Technique of the Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor Scripture, using it to guide and tame these Lightning Tribulation forces, suppressing the destructive baleful Qi within them, and extracting the purest Origin of the Heavenly Tribulation—Lightning Origin!

Following that, he used the Cultivation Technique to circulate the Lightning Origin through his limbs and bones, scouring his entire skeleton over and over again.

This was the Heavenly Lightning Body Tempering method from the Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor Scripture. It was said that if one could Cultivate it to Perfection, there was even a one-percent chance of tempering a Thunder Emperor Battle Body.

Even if one could not temper a Thunder Emperor Battle Body, it could still greatly improve one's Physique and Martial Bone.

His current weakness was his Physique; even though he had already reached a High-grade Martial Bone, it was no longer sufficient for his current Realm.

If it weren't for the System, relying on it to forcefully stack his cultivation over millions of times the time, let alone his current Martial Emperor Realm cultivation, even the Acquired Realm would have been a pipe dream.

After learning the Heavenly Lightning Body Tempering method from the Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor Scripture, he had already made up his mind to use the heavenly lightning for Body Tempering to improve his Aptitude.

The pure Lightning Origin washed over his bones again and again, making Chen An feel a tingling numbness throughout his body. His bones, originally as lustrous as jade, had actually become even more pearly white.

"Not enough!!!"

Sensing that the transformation of his Martial Bone had just begun to gain momentum before slowly stagnating, a look of determination flashed in Chen An's eyes.

This level of lightning tempering could at most polish his High-grade Martial Bone to be slightly purer; it could not cause the High-grade Martial Bone to transform, let alone turn into a Battle Body.

He stomped violently on the Void Realm, and the terrifying Dan Qi around his body erupted. He transformed into a streak of purple-gold lightning, rushing straight up against the falling lightning light toward the churning sea of Heavenly Tribulation lightning above his head!

"He's crazy! Does he not want his life?!"

A hundred miles away, Supreme Elder Cang Wanli watched the figure rushing toward the Heavenly Tribulation and exclaimed in shock, his silver hair standing on end. "That is the Origin Lightning Sea of the Nine-Nine Lightning Tribulation! It contains the Chaos lightning power that has existed since the beginning of heaven and earth. Not to mention someone who has just stepped into the Martial Emperor Realm, even a Peak Martial Emperor powerhouse would likely be ground into ashes if they rushed in!"

Xuan Zhantian also frowned and said in a deep voice, "This is too reckless. Even if he specializes in the Lightning Domain, rushing into the lightning sea so rashly is just courting death!"

Before his words had even faded, Chen An's figure had already plunged into the depths of that pitch-black lightning sea, which shimmered with lightning and resembled a massive, world-destroying millstone.

RUMBLE!!!

As soon as he entered the lightning sea, the extremely violent Origin lightning power surged in madly from all directions, like thousands of sharp lightning blades, frantically cutting at his Physical Body.

The protective Dan Qi on his skin shattered instantly, his clothes turned to ash inch by inch, and his skin was torn open, revealing the pearly white bones beneath.

"Crack... crack..."

Dense cracking sounds came from within his body. The High-grade Martial Bone, which had already been initially tempered, began to show fine cracks under the scouring of the Origin lightning power.

Heart-piercing, bone-chilling pain swept through his entire body like a tide, and even his Soul trembled slightly under this terrifying lightning power.

But Chen An did not retreat; instead, he operated the Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor Scripture to an unprecedented extreme.

Upon reaching the Martial Emperor Realm, every cell in his body possessed a Golden Core Dao Seed, meaning every cell was equivalent to an infinitely miniaturized Martial Dao Golden Core.

As long as the Dan Qi within his body was not extinguished, let alone this kind of skin-tearing injury, even severed hands and feet could be regenerated.

And since the Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor Scripture was an Emperor Rank Lightning Dao treasure manual derived by the System, it was naturally not that simple.

As a treasured Lightning Dao manual, the Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor Scripture inherently possessed the ability to absorb and devour the lightning of heaven and earth for its own use.

Therefore, as soon as Chen An operated the Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor Scripture, an infinite amount of terrifying Lightning Origin poured into his body.

"Heaven and earth shall be the furnace, lightning power shall be the fire; refine for me!!!"

He silently recited the Cultivation Technique mantra in his heart. Endless Dan Qi surged out from within his body, completely enveloping the violent Origin lightning power that had poured in, refining and purifying it bit by bit.

As the Cultivation Technique roared and circulated at full speed, the Golden Core Dao Seeds within his billions of cells all lit up with a faint purple-gold spiritual light, transforming into billions of micro-refining furnaces.

The violent Origin heavenly lightning that was raging through his body was pulled and dismantled by the countless Dao Seeds. The violent and destructive lightning baleful Qi was stripped away layer by layer, and the remaining pure and gentle Origin Lightning Origin flowed through the gaps in his flesh and blood, continuously pouring into his entire skeleton.

The bones, which had been covered in cracks from the lightning strikes, were slowly tempered while soaked in the Lightning Origin. The Impurities hidden deep within the bones were burned away bit by bit by the lightning. The originally lustrous, pearly white bone structure slowly became plated with a faint golden glow, and even faint, fragmented lightning patterns shimmered upon them.

RUMBLING!!!~~~

In the lightning sea, streaks of terrifying lightning blasted toward Chen An, tearing his Physical Body open and shattering his Meridians.

But under the tempering of the endless Lightning Origin, not only did his injuries recover rapidly, but his Physical Body became tougher, his bones became harder, and the golden glow upon them gradually became denser.

Crack! Crack!!!~~~

Suddenly, Chen An felt a faint sound of bone-popping resonate within his body. Subsequently, he felt his own aura change, and a familiar feeling of Rebirth surged into his heart once more...
