279: Unique Luck

Lei Li's body had undergone system modification.

After the enhancement, it was better suited for absorbing the spiritual energy within others.

It could even shatter Golden Cores and convert them for his own use.

In an instant, the spiritual energy within him surged violently, and a powerful pressure raged rapidly around Lei Li's body.

It gradually formed a tornado, wrapping Chen Tianming within a vortex of spiritual power.

Such a powerful and terrifying phenomenon of heaven and earth immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Those cultivators who were not trapped in the Seven Stars Altar, as well as the common people at the foot of the mountain who dared not approach, all stared with numb eyes upon seeing the heavenly phenomenon, as if their souls had been sucked away.

Finally, someone could not help but exclaim, stammering,

"This! This is just too strong!"

"How could it not be strong! Having absorbed the spiritual power of all the experts from the three major sects, I fear he is about to break through the Golden Core and condense a Nascent Soul!"

Indeed!

Heavenly thunder churned in mid-air.

The terrifying heavenly tribulation descended once more.

Two consecutive heavenly tribulations made everyone in the entire small world realize just how terrifying the wrath of heaven truly was.

Between heaven and earth, an endless stream of spiritual energy rapidly condensed, turning into appalling thunder and lightning that crashed down with a roar.

Just hearing the sound made one's spine turn cold!

The thunder, carrying fury, burned the entire peak of the mountain.

Thick black smoke covered the sky like dark clouds.

In the forest rich with spiritual energy, countless spirit beasts let out desperate screams under the roasting of flames and thick smoke.

Many living creatures turned into a puddle of mush at this moment.

Lei Li was incomparably arrogant, raising his hand to feel the changes in his energy.

With nine Nascent Souls, he possessed nine times the formidable power of a Nascent Soul stage expert!

With a gentle wave of his hand, hundreds of trees collapsed.

The violent spiritual power even ripped up the ground.

However, Chen Tianming stood like a nail rooted in the soil; no matter what storm Lei Li stirred up, he remained unmoved.

The peculiar scene in the sky dissipated.

Chen Tianming appeared like an immortal descended upon the world, a cold sneer playing on one corner of his mouth.

Now, Lei Li was completely dumbfounded.

For a moment, Lei Li could not tell whether he was the Chosen One who had cultivated for a hundred years,

or... was he merely a stepping stone under Chen Tianming's feet?

A sense of insignificance and inferiority slowly sprouted in Lei Li's heart.

He could no longer endure it and roared furiously toward the sky.

"Why! Why is your strength increasing so quickly!"

Chen Tianming waved his hand violently.

Spiritual energy, red like raging flames, erupted from his palm.

It condensed into the phantom of a giant beast, roaring at the sky.

Behind him, one monster beast after another appeared bit by bit.

The powerful monster beasts knelt one after another, as if paying homage to a sage.

Seeing this scene, Lei Li completely broke down.

"You! How is this possible, a Qilin?! You must be joking!"

Chen Tianming spread his hands slightly.

"This cannot be blamed on me; it is you who failed to discover such fortune. A remnant soul of a Fire Qilin was sealed within this small world, wandering in the gap between the small world and the outside!"

"Every time you rushed out, it was only to drain spiritual energy, using Demonic Sect cultivation techniques to raise your own strength and realm, and then you rushed back!"

"Even if you were not feeling guilty, if you had just stayed a little longer, you would not have failed to notice the existence of the Fire Qilin!"

Lei Li immediately gritted his teeth.

He was about to bite his teeth into pieces.

"Chen Tianming! You stole my fortune and took my divine beast's soul, yet you still have the face to quibble here!"

Chen Tianming curled his lips.

"This fortune belongs to whoever obtains it! You call yourself the Chosen One, capable of receiving heaven's mandate, yet in the end, wasn't it still taken by me?"

After speaking, Chen Tianming gently pushed his fingers.

The scorching Fire Qilin seemed like a sun falling from the sky, illuminating the heavens while simultaneously—

Fire-attribute spiritual power erupted with a boom.

The earth-shattering explosion leveled the entire Seven Stars Altar.

When the aftermath of the energy gradually dissipated, Lei Li slowly revealed his figure.

His eyes were dull, and his mouth was wide open.

His face was pitch black, and gray-white smoke slowly drifted from his mouth.

Chen Tianming watched from afar, unable to help but want to laugh.

It took Lei Li a long time to recover and crawl up.

He already knew in his heart that he was no match for Chen Tianming.

But he still forced himself to stand straight.

"Chen Tianming, you are truly formidable. With a slight move, you destroyed three of my nine Nascent Souls!"

"However... Hahaha, you still do not know what benefits this small world has given me in order to nurture a Chosen One!"

Chen Tianming frowned, but he saw that Lei Li had already activated his cultivation technique.

A golden light inexplicably burst forth from his pitch-black brow, and immediately after, one could see a void slowly opening within that golden light.

It seemed as if Lei Li's head had opened a space-time tunnel.

An endless stream of ancient spiritual energy drifted out from within.

That powerful might made even Chen Tianming feel quite amazed.

Within the golden light, there was a shocking and profound Sanskrit sound.

It gradually covered Lei Li's entire body.

The spiritual energy and realm on Lei Li's body once again experienced a qualitative leap; it looked like he was about to break through the Nascent Soul stage!

Chen Tianming could not understand how this change had come about.

Even if the Chosen One's luck was heaven-defying, it shouldn't be able to forcefully raise one's realm directly!

It was just that Chen Tianming really could not imagine what method Lei Li used to break through to Nascent Soul!

A purple-red thunder dragon descended from the sky, pouncing toward Lei Li.

But Lei Li remained unmoved.

The light shooting from his brow actually easily purified that thunder dragon!

That was the heavenly tribulation for breaking through to Nascent Soul.

It was enough to destroy a sect.

Yet unexpectedly, as soon as it appeared, it was casually shattered by Lei Li.

Moreover, this was just the thunder tribulation caused by one Nascent Soul; the subsequent eight heavenly dragons also could not escape this fate.

It was not until after the heavenly tribulation that the golden light on Lei Li's body disappeared, and he gradually stabilized his figure.

With black hair and white robes, his demeanor was like an immortal, sanctimonious.

Behind his head, a golden halo, which only a Celestial Immortal would possess, appeared.

Then Lei Li waved his hand casually.

A huge golden chariot appeared from his fingertips, shrouded in radiance, and pressed toward Chen Tianming.

At this moment, the corners of Lei Li's mouth curled up, full of confidence.

Using a technique only possessed by the Chosen One, he stepped into the God Transformation realm in one stride.

At this moment, Lei Li stood at the very pinnacle of the entire small world!

He could feel that he was connected to the small world.

With just a single thought, he could manipulate all the spiritual energy within the small world.

It was as if he were commanding thousands of troops and horses.

However, unexpectedly.

Lei Li's confident strike shattered with a boom in front of Chen Tianming!

The golden chariot exploded into countless fragments, dissipating in mid-air in an instant.

And Chen Tianming stepped on the void, walking down slowly.

With every step he took, the aura on Chen Tianming's body rose sharply.

When he arrived in front of Lei Li, Chen Tianming had already become an unmatched existence.
