48: Chapter 48 Breakthrough, Second Heaven of the Holy Body

After making all the arrangements, Yun Chenfei found a large bluestone and sat on it, preparing to welcome the Lightning Punishment.

After circulating the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Art for one cycle, the Aura on Yun Chenfei's body grew increasingly intense.

Suddenly, fierce winds raged in the sky, dark clouds gathered, and thunder rumbled.

A vortex suddenly appeared in the sky, emitting an Aura that made people shudder; it spun rapidly and expanded outwards.

The rolling dark clouds gradually gathered and condensed, becoming increasingly dense. The oppressive black clouds gave one the feeling of Mount Tai weighing down on them.

The Heavenly Tribulation was imminent; it was as if all living beings in this world were humbly welcoming it, trembling in fear.

The powerful and terrifying will of the Heavenly Tribulation spread for who knows how many miles. Inside those oppressive black clouds, it seemed as if an ancient Vicious Beast was hiding, ready to strike.

"Heavens, what a terrifying Lightning Tribulation. Who exactly is Undergoing Tribulation in the back mountain?"

"Could it be that some Elder is about to make a Breakthrough to the Mortal Transformation Realm?"

"Let's go, let's quickly go watch and see exactly which sacred person is Undergoing Tribulation."

...

The oppressive black clouds in the sky caught the attention of many Xuan Yue Sect Disciples.

Yun Chenfei stood proudly on the bluestone, wielding the green lotus sword, continuously waving it as streaks of green sword light poured out.

At this moment, his powerful Aura was finally fully released, enveloping the dense dark clouds in the sky and gradually spreading in all directions.

The Lightning Tribulation seemed to sense Yun Chenfei's overwhelmingly powerful Aura, and suddenly the winds surged, lightning flashed, thunder roared, and a torrential downpour began.

As far as the eye could see, the world was covered by the heavy rain.

Yun Chenfei stood in the air; although he was in the rain, not a single drop touched him.

The torrential rain was blocked three feet away by the green protective barrier outside his body.

The will of the Heavenly Tribulation in the sky seemed to see that the person below not only did not submit but dared to openly demonstrate.

In an instant, like a roar, two deep blue lightning bolts separated from the oppressive black clouds.

In a flash, the two lightning bolts, like twisted great snakes, whistled and shot rapidly toward Yun Chenfei below.

"Such a terrifying Lightning Tribulation, what heinous thing has the Saint done this time!"

"Compared to the last time the Saint was Undergoing Tribulation, this Heavenly Thunder is even more powerful, and it started with two bolts at once."

"I hope the Saint can withstand it; just looking from afar makes my legs feel weak."

...

At this time, the Lightning Tribulation in the sky attracted many onlookers, including many Elders of the Xuan Yue Sect.

"Has the power of this Lightning Punishment increased? It actually sent down two Heavenly Thunders at once."

Yun Chenfei's expression was cold and stern. He pointed his green lotus sword into the air, and in mid-air, streaks of green sword light instantly condensed together, forming an incomparably huge green longsword.

The huge green sword suddenly rose against the sky, fiercely slashing towards the two incoming lightning bolts.

"Boom!"

With a loud noise, lightning flashed in mid-air as the huge green sword and the two deep blue lightning bolts collided violently.

Yun Chenfei's arm trembled violently, and the powerful impact instantly shattered his sleeves.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the lightning barrier calmed down, and Yun Chenfei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Without time to rest, the ocean of Heavenly Tribulation above separated two more lightning bolts, but this time they were light purple lightning bolts.

The Aura and power they displayed were simply incomparable to the deep blue lightning bolts from before.

Yun Chenfei held his breath, increased the output of his magic power, and a solid, palm-like shadow shot into the sky, meeting the two light Purple Heavenly Thunders.

The two sides clashed, lightning flashed, and in the stalemate, Yun Chenfei circulated all his spiritual energy and struck out with another Samsara Palm.

The two light Purple Heavenly Thunders were not to be outdone; they shot forward, swallowing the two palm shadows in the blink of an eye, and then fiercely struck Yun Chenfei.

Yun Chenfei fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Just at this moment, the third wave of lightning shot from the sky, but this time there was one more Heavenly Thunder than the previous two times; three light Purple Heavenly Thunders rushed over in the blink of an eye.

"White Tiger Slaughter Art!"

Seeing this, Yun Chenfei gathered his strength in his hands, his true yuan power erupted, and green light burst forth.

A white tiger phantasm roared at the sky and then rushed at high speed towards the three Heavenly Thunders in mid-air.

The white tiger phantasm swallowed the three Heavenly Thunders in one gulp, then shot towards the sky like a meteor.

"Boom!"

A few breaths later, a loud noise came from the sky. The white tiger phantasm chose to self-destruct, along with the three Heavenly Thunders, turning into specks of light before dissipating in the sky.

"What kind of Cultivation Technique is this that it can defeat three Purple Heavenly Thunders at once?"

"Looking at this power, it's at least a Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique, perhaps even a quasi-Saint Rank."

"The Saint's future achievements will be limitless; perhaps he will be able to break through the shackles of heaven and earth in the future and reach the legendary Realm."

Two Xuan Yue Sect Elders looked at Yun Chenfei, who was standing in the air, sighing endlessly.

After another quarter of an hour or so, the oppressive black clouds in the sky suddenly rolled back rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, they turned back into points of light.

They were cast into the vortex, and as the vortex spun in reverse, they gradually dissipated, as if they had never appeared.

The wind calmed, the rain stopped, and everything returned to tranquility. It was as if the Heavenly Tribulation had never appeared; it came fast and went fast.

With his confidante Yi Kuhan, who reduced the power of the Lightning Punishment by twenty times, Yun Chenfei's Undergoing Tribulation this time was quite easy, and he was barely injured.

With the dissipation of the Heavenly Thunder, Yun Chenfei's Physical Body officially stepped into the Second Layer. His well-defined muscles were as solid as steel pillars, glowing with a charming luster.

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for advancing to the Second Layer of the Saint Body, obtaining the secret Divine Ability — Stars Shifting."

Stars Shifting is a secret Divine Ability that can dissolve all external forces. The higher the cultivation, the greater the effect.

When cultivated to the level of Major Achievement, one can completely divert an enemy's attack, taking no damage at all.

Currently at the Entry-Level, casting this secret technique can divert ten percent of energy attacks from the outside world.

"Stars Shifting, I didn't expect the Second Layer of the Saint Body to unlock such a Heaven-Defying secret Divine Ability."

"If this is cultivated to Major Achievement, who else can hurt me?"

It's just that I don't know how to increase the power of this secret Divine Ability; does it increase as the Physical Body's strength increases?

Seeing the Lightning Tribulation dissipate, the onlookers around also gradually dispersed.

"The Saint's cultivation has already reached the Spirit Refining Realm, yet he still Cultivates so diligently. I must also go back and Cultivate hard."

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. The Saint must have put in extremely arduous cultivation to reach his current level."

"After I go back, I will immediately go into seclusion to Cultivate. I will not come out until I break through to the Condensing Origin Realm!"

...

After witnessing Yun Chenfei's strength, the Disciples of Xuan Yue Sect thought to themselves.

A large portion of them, after leaving, silently went into seclusion to Cultivate.

Yun Chenfei's Undergoing Tribulation this time actually set off a wave of secluded cultivation within the Xuan Yue Sect.
