494. The Third Thunder Tribulation
494. The Third Thunder Tribulation
In Ancient City, at the tribulation grounds, a familiar figure appeared once again.
"Lin... Martial God Lin, you're here to undergo tribulation again?" someone asked in disbelief.
"Yes, is there a free spot?" Lin Fei inquired calmly.
"Of course, there is. Please, come this way," they responded, leading Lin Fei to an unoccupied tribulation ground.
Those who witnessed Lin Fei's arrival exchanged glances in amazement. It had only been three months, perhaps even less, since his last tribulation. Yet, Lin Fei was already back for another one. While it was only his third thunder tribulation, his previous tribulations had left many Martial Gods in awe. The tales of Lin Fei's tribulations had spread far and wide, and now he was preparing for another.
"Quick, come see! Great Dream Sect's Martial God Lin is about to undergo tribulation again!" people called out. "Hurry, you didn't witness Martial God Lin's last tribulation. Now's your chance. Opportunities like this are rare!"
The chance to witness a top-tier Martial God like Lin Fei undergoes tribulation was indeed a rare spectacle. Many Martial Gods immediately informed their friends and relatives, not wanting to miss this event.
Lin Fei's tribulations were no small matter. In his first tribulation, he had withstood three thunderbolts, and in his second, four. Now, as he faced his third tribulation, speculation was rife about how many thunderbolts he could withstand this time. At least three thunderbolts were expected, as withstanding three was a basic condition for becoming a Martial Ancestor. Some even speculated that Lin Fei might withstand four or even five thunderbolts.
For the ambitious Martial Gods, this was a precious opportunity to observe a top-tier Martial God like Lin Fei face the tribulation, especially if he faced four or five thunderbolts. It could provide valuable insights for their future tribulations.
As Lin Fei entered the tribulation ground, a large number of Martial Gods gathered to witness the event. The tribulation grounds quickly became abuzz with excitement and anticipation.
Unaware that his decision to undergo tribulation had caused a stir throughout Ancient City, Lin Fei stood within the formation, calmly adjusting his state. His preparation for this third tribulation was somewhat less extensive compared to the second one. This time, his primary enhancement was the significant strengthening of his Saber World, without the addition of World Origin, and his physical body hadn't received any further empowerment. His only change since the second tribulation was the addition of four hundred particle worlds.
However, the substantial improvement of his Saber World had given him the confidence to face the third thunder tribulation. As time passed, Lin Fei's mind settled, and he reached his peak condition.
With a swift motion, Lin Fei opened his eyes and looked up into the void. His consciousness ascended into the ethereal realm of the divine, reaching towards the familiar sea of origin. Once his consciousness entered this sea, it would trigger the descent of the thunderbolts necessary for the third tribulation.
Lin Fei took a deep breath and steeled himself. "Let's begin." His consciousness swiftly soared into the sea of origin.
"Boom!"
Thunder roared as the first thunderbolt tore through the sky, hurtling towards Lin Fei.
"There it is, the first thunderbolt has descended!" onlookers exclaimed. "So quick! Martial God Lin doesn't waste any time."
Many Martial Gods watched intently, some drawing experience for their own impending tribulations.
The first thunderbolt struck Lin Fei, but he didn't deploy his Saber World, gauging that it wasn't necessary for this initial strike. The power of his eight hundred particle worlds, not just mere ornaments within him, erupted forcefully, colliding with the thunderbolt's energy in a tumultuous clash. The two forces exploded, entangled, and then neutralized each other.
Lin Fei's eight hundred particle worlds, with their immense power, swiftly overwhelmed the force of the first thunderbolt. And just like that, the first thunderbolt was withstood.
Lin Fei was somewhat surprised.
"It seems my eight hundred particle worlds can withstand the first thunderbolt of the third tribulation on their own."
At this moment, Lin Fei had a moment of realization. He had underestimated the power of his particle worlds. The addition of four hundred particle worlds was not a minor enhancement. The combined power of his eight hundred particle worlds was formidable to the extreme, capable of withstanding the first thunderbolt of the third tribulation.
However, this was just the first thunderbolt. For an average Martial God, surviving this would be considered passing the third tribulation. But Lin Fei's ambition went beyond merely enduring the tribulation; he aimed to seize more laws.
"Continue," Lin Fei urged himself, his consciousness once again delving deep into the sea of origin, grasping for the second law.
"Boom!"
The second thunderbolt descended with a tremendous force. Lin Fei immediately sensed its extraordinary power. He had a feeling that without using his Saber World, he wouldn't be able to withstand this thunderbolt.
"Saber World!" Without taking any risks, Lin Fei deployed his Saber World. Its recovery was quick, so using it didn't pose a problem. The Saber World enveloped him just in time.
"Bang!"
The second thunderbolt struck with overwhelming might upon Lin Fei's Saber World. Previously, such an impact would have shattered his Saber World, even if it managed to neutralize most of the thunderbolt's power. However, this time, the Saber World only rippled slightly before the second thunderbolt dissipated.
Lin Fei had successfully withstood the second thunderbolt without sustaining any damage. Energized by his success, he didn't pause but immediately went on to seize the third world law.
"Boom!"
The third thunderbolt descended, its power immense and terrifying. The entire Ancient City felt its formidable force as if it threatened to obliterate the city itself. This thunderbolt, with just a mere flicker, tore through the void and struck Lin Fei's Saber World.
Lin Fei's Saber World shook violently under the impact. The fearsome power of the thunderbolt flashed menacingly, seemingly distorting the very fabric of space.
However, after a series of ripples, Lin Fei's Saber World gradually calmed down and remained intact, successfully withstanding the third thunderbolt without a breach.
This spectacle, witnessed by all, left the onlookers in complete shock.
"What? Unscathed?"
"More than that, the third thunderbolt couldn't even breach his protective method. It didn't inflict any damage to Martial God Lin's physical body. This is inconceivable! What kind of protective technique could be so powerful?"
"Martial God Lin dared to face the third thunder tribulation so quickly because of this protective method. With such a technique at his disposal, the tribulation seems almost effortless."
Everyone was astounded. Surviving the third thunder tribulation was not unheard of, and even overcoming the third thunderbolt, though rare, had been achieved by others. However, to withstand the third thunderbolt unscathed, without even breaking the protective method, was a feat that shocked everyone.
Lin Fei's Saber World had demonstrated its terrifying might to all the Martial Gods in Ancient City, revealing its incredible power for the first time.
