Chapter 596 Continue with the Tribulation (1/2)
“As expected, this time’s Lightning Tribulation is ten times stronger than the previous one,” Chen Feng whispered as he sensed the lightning powers on his palm.
Next, another black vortex appeared on his palm to absorb the ball of lightning.
I was thinking of properly comprehending the will of the world from the 2nd Lightning Tribulation, but the two assassins interrupted me. They even triggered the 3rd Lightning Tribulation to come in advance. Humph! Thankfully, their interference did not cause too big of an impact. Chen Feng felt somewhat annoyed at getting interrupted earlier. He also knew that the two assassins were most likely sent by Killer Temple.
However, Chen Feng chose to ignore that for now. The most important issue for him at the moment was to overcome his tribulation.
This time, Chen Feng had to face lightning pillars. Each of the lightning pillars were condensed to the point of tangibility and the power of destruction contained within them managed to elicit a reaction from Chen Feng. However, unlike the previous lightning attacks, these lightning pillars did not descend at a rapid rate. If it had, Chen Feng would have ended up in a slightly miserable state.
Thankfully, my fleshly body is strong enough and there are enough magic treasures in my body, otherwise these lightning attacks would definitely be able to slap me upside down, Chen Feng thought with a smile. Although the lightning pillars were very formidable, they were still within Chen Feng’s range of tolerance.
Chen Feng’s mind was in a state of tranquillity and he felt very confident. For him, overcoming his 3rd Lightning Tribulation was not something difficult. On the contrary, Chen Feng needed the power of these Sky Lightning.
In fact, he wanted the lightning powers to grow even stronger.
Thick lightning pillars descended again and again, streaking towards Chen Feng. Every one of them radiated a shocking and terrifying atmosphere of lightning. Most of the spectating cultivators were at the Sky Human stage and above. Level wise, they were stronger than Chen Feng. However, observing this Lightning Tribulation from afar could still cause their hearts to palpitate.
“For his 3rd Lightning Tribulation to be this strong, Brother Chen’s future is immeasurable. Immeasurable!” Liu Quan said, his heart stirring.
“He faced 3 Lightning Tribulations in a row. Even now, he has yet to use any weapons or magic treasures. Instead, he is only relying on his fleshly body to resist. Looks like this is still not his limit!”
The one who spoke was a Human Immortal from Heavenly Sword Faction. As Chen Feng’s Lightning Tribulation had caused too big of a commotion, a good number of Human Immortals had come over as well. They hid themselves as they observed Chen Feng. Seeing how easily Chen Feng was dealing with his 3rd Lightning Tribulation, they felt somewhat surprised. However, these Human Immortals had seen much in life, having seen countless geniuses before in their path of cultivation. Thus, unlike the Sky Human stage disciples who were left astounded by the sight, they were only slightly surprised.
At any rate, there were too many cultivators in the world of cultivation. Accumulating a deep reserve of power in order to overcome several Lightning Tribulations was quite a normal thing. However, the number of such occurrences was simply not that high.
“Heh! You fellows are only looking at what is happening on the surface. Did you fellows not notice that this youngster is absorbing all of the Sky Lightning into his body? According to my observation, there must be a very powerful magic treasure inside this youngster’s body. It is capable of devouring Sky Lightning. How else could he have such an easy time?” said an old man who stroked his beard smilingly.
“That makes sense. However, borrowing the power of a magic treasure to overcome Lightning Tribulation is not the right way of going at it. It will bring about some effects upon one’s future path of cultivation. Besides, one careless mistake could cause some changes to happen to the Lightning Tribulation. From what I can see, this youngster’s fleshly body is indeed strong and his primary energy flows vigorously. He is a cultivation genius. He should not be one of those with superficial abilities,” another Human Immortal said.
“This youngster is not to be trifled with. We are only capable of seeing his fleshly body and primary energy, not his sea of wisdom. There are only two possibilities for this kind of situation. The first possibility, there is a very powerful magic treasure safeguarding his sea of wisdom. The second, he possesses a very powerful background and an expert has utilized great magics to protect his sea of wisdom!”
“Regardless, he is overcoming his Lightning Tribulation in our Heavenly Sword Faction. There is a connection between our sect and him.”
“That is true!”
Chen Feng did not know that his Lightning Tribulation had attracted so many experts. More, he did not know that his Lightning Tribulation had triggered a considerable ripple within Heavenly Sword Faction, causing his name – despite being new here – to ring loudly in the Central Plains.
In the face of the thick lightning pillars, Chen Feng did not let his guard down. He swung his fists to shatter the lightning pillars before absorbing all of the resulting lightning powers into his body.
Weng!
The Thousand Seeker Mirror vibrated fiercely as it transformed. Soon, it had levelled up from a grade 2 Prized artefact to a grade 3 Prized artefact.
Weng!
The Meridian Sealing Needle in the Surge acupoint was also constantly spinning. Waves of light kept radiating out from it as the Sky Lightning’s refining power caused it to level up as well.
Weng!
The Lightstream Sword began levelling up as well.
Weng! Weng!
The Mountainous Guardbreaker Lance and the Divine Goldenlight Net thrummed as well.
Weng! Weng! Weng!
More and more magic treasures transformed. As their grades rose, the rate at which the magic treasures were devouring Sky Lightning rose. Gradually, the Sky Lightning descending upon Chen Feng became insufficient.
