Chapter 595 Attacked (1/2)

By then, every pore on Chen Feng’s body had opened up. The bolts of Sky Lightning enveloping Chen Feng’s body were shattered and the resulting strands of the Sky Lightning flowed into his pores before getting utterly divided between his insight acupoints and condensed weapons.

That was not all. The number of black vortexes on Chen Feng’s body had increased up to a total of five. The rate at which the five vortexes were absorbing the Sky Lightning was even faster than before. The strands of Sky Lightning kept condensing as they converged upon the vortexes. When they finally entered the black vortexes, they were already as thick as an arm.

The rate at which the bolts of Sky Lightning were coming from the tribulation clouds was fast. However, the rate at which Chen Feng was devouring them was fast as well. As he devoured more and more lightning powers, Chen Feng could feel the magic treasures in his insight acupoints and even his condensed weapons like the Longevity Sword changing. Due to the refining process wrought about by the Sky Lightning, the quality of the magic treasures and condensed weapons was constantly changing.

Weng!

Finally, the Lightstream Shield in one of the Magnetic acupoints released a series of thrumming sounds. The power within the Magnetic acupoints churned and the light shining from the Lightstream Shield grew even stronger. It felt as though there was an image of joy radiating out from the Lightstream Shield.

The Lightstream Shield easily levelled up from a grade 1 Prized artefact to a grade 2 Prized artefact. The aura of a Prized artefact emanating from it grew stronger and stronger. Following the Lightstream Shield’s grade increment, a world-shaking change happened to Chen Feng’s Magnetic acupoints as well. The insight acupoints kept growing bigger and the energies inside kept roiling about. Additionally, hints of profound concepts were constantly assailing Chen Feng’s mind and he felt his understanding of the Magnetic acupoints growing deeper.

Weng!

Next, the Overwhelming Astral Sword underwent a qualitative change as well. Likewise, it rose from a grade 1 Prized artefact to a grade 2 Prized artefact.

As the two magic treasures levelled up, the other magic treasures that were of lesser grades – thanks to the refining process by the lightning powers – began levelling up as well.

Thunder Sword.

Poison Needle.

Prudent Sword.

Lofty Mountain Seal.

Shadowless Goldshine Blade.

All those grade 1 Prized artefacts underwent a transformation. Due to the nourishment from the Sky Lightning, every one of them levelled up. The magic treasures have been receiving constant nourishment from Chen Feng. Even without the Lightning Tribulation, in due time, they would have levelled up as well. This Lightning Tribulation was simply adding fire to the equation, making the conditions right for them.

As the magic treasures levelled up, the suction force that Chen Feng’s body emitted abruptly grew stronger and the surrounding bolts of lightning were all absorbed. An area with a radius of 100 zhang around Chen Feng became vacuum.

“Did you see that? The lightning powers were utterly absorbed by this youngster. He did not waste a single strand of it.”

“This youngster should be a body cultivator. He did not radiate any sword intent in the face of Lightning Tribulation. He is likely not a disciple of our sect.”

“Brother Chen, impressive! Looks like this Lightning Tribulation should not be an issue as well. Heh! Overcoming 2 Lightning Tribulations in one go, truly, formidable.” Jian Xiaotian reflexively clenched his fists in excitement.

This Lightning Tribulation lasted longer than the previous one, continuing for a good four hours. Finally, the lightning bolts disappeared and all the lightning powers sent out by the tribulation clouds were devoured by Chen Feng, leaving not a single strand behind.

Profound worldly laws descended and Chen Feng began work on perceiving them. His figure silently hovered up in the sky, his eyes closed as he comprehended this will of the world.

As Chen Feng was comprehending the will of the world, a mote of starlight suddenly appeared in front of Chen Feng’s chest before exploding, transforming into a stretch of sky-encompassing stars. Finally, the stretch of stars disappeared as they transformed into a fine and sharp sword. The tip of the sword flashed with sharp starlight as it stabbed towards Chen Feng’s heart.

“Oh, no! A sneak attack!”

“Assassin!”

“Careful!”

“Brother Chen, be careful!”

“Despicable! Who is it?”

“Brother Chen!”

Most of the spectators had their attentions on Chen Feng. Seeing Chen Feng become the target of a sneak attack, they bellowed. Regardless if they were acquainted with Chen Feng or not, every one of them roared out furiously. Some had even charged towards Chen Feng as fast as they could.

All the spectators there were the disciples of Heavenly Sword Faction. At that very moment, someone was trying to assassinate Chen Feng inside Heavenly Sword Faction. That person was obviously looking down on Heavenly Sword Faction. Additionally, despite their numbers, they had failed to notice an assassin hiding in their midst. This caused them to grow even more furious.

Chen Feng had been focused on comprehending the will of the world. However, he snapped open his eyes the instant the starlight appeared.

Some people would choose to perform assassinations after the target cultivator had just overcome his or her tribulation because the cultivator would be seriously wounded after the tribulation was over. That factor made it the most opportune moment to initiate an assassination attempt. However, Chen Feng was a different case. A Lightning Tribulation of this level simply could not injure Chen Feng. On the contrary, the lightning powers only ended up becoming valuable supplements for him.

Additionally, Chen Feng was in the midst of comprehending the worldly laws. He could clearly sense everything that was happening around him. Thus, he was able to open his eyes instantly to counter attack.

Pa!

The instant the tip of the sword stabbed into Chen Feng’s body, a clump of lightning burst out from Chen Feng’s body to smash against the tip of the sword. As for Chen Feng, he reached out with a palm – flashing with lightning powers – to grasp at the space before him. A black-clad cultivator was revealed and Chen Feng’s palm moved to swipe at the black-clad cultivator.

Boom!

The lightning powers erupted against the tip of the sword. And yet, the tip of the sword did not sway in the slightest as it continued forward to stab towards Chen Feng. First, it pierced through Chen Feng’s magic robes. Then, it easily stabbed into Chen Feng’s flesh.

Heh! It’s a Sacred artefact. Instantly, Chen Feng was able to determine the grade of the sword.

After the sword pierced Chen Feng’s flesh, the body armour that had fused with his flesh activated. The power of ice and fire rapidly came together, condensing into a clump of power, which moved to block the tip of the sword from advancing any further.

However, the grade 9 Prized-tier body armour could only stop it for a moment before the tip of the sword pierced through its defences.
