Immortality Starts With Diligence(Xianxia Litrpg)

522. Unprecedented, The Seventh Heavenly Thunder!

"Boom!"

The void thundered, echoing through the space. In his consciousness, Lin Fei perceived the vast sea of origin. His mind delved into this primordial essence, forcibly seizing a law from it. Instantly, a heavenly thunder struck down.

Lin Fei looked up at the descending thunder with a calm demeanor. Surprisingly, he didn't deploy his Saber World or particle worlds. He simply stood there, allowing the thunder to strike him directly.

"Bang!"

The thunder entered his body, and then it vanished without a trace. Lin Fei remained unscathed.

Those watching Lin Fei's tribulation were astounded. Even though they knew Lin Fei could withstand the first thunder, this was the first thunder of his fifth tribulation. To endure it directly with his physical body, and remain completely unharmed, was beyond their expectations. Was this really a tribulation? Or did it seem more like a leisurely experience for him?

Many had harbored skepticism towards Lin Fei's title as the "Number One Martial God." However, witnessing this scene silenced their doubts. After all, the true measure of strength in the Divine Realm was one's ability to endure tribulations.

Lin Fei's tribulation appeared as effortless as eating or drinking. With such prowess, he could possibly pass through nine tribulations in one go. Even the prospect of directly breaking through to shatter the void seemed within his reach.

But Lin Fei chose not to pursue that path. Simply enduring one thunder in each of the nine tribulations was not his goal, for it would never lead to becoming a Martial Ancestor.

"Once more!" Lin Fei declared indifferently. Instantly, his consciousness seized a second law. The second heavenly thunderbolt descended in response, evidently much more formidable than the first.

The white electric light, fleeting as a glint, vanished into Lin Fei's body in a blink. And then, there was no more. Lin Fei remained immobile. His physical body merely quivered slightly before the electric light faded. Thus, he withstood the second thunderbolt. Swiftly following was the third. This third thunderbolt was markedly stronger, its might suffused with a hint of destructive aura.

Yet, Lin Fei remained unyielding, not resorting to the Saber World or even contemplating the use of the Particle World. Lin Fei wished to test the limits of his corporeal particles. After all, the origin of so many worlds should not be squandered in vain. Hence, the third thunderbolt struck as expected, roaring into Lin Fei's flesh.

This time, Lin Fei could not remain indifferent. The particles of his body began to rapidly annihilate. Ten percent, twenty percent, thirty percent, forty percent, fifty percent...

Lin Fei endured without tapping into the power of the Particle World. In the end, only fifty percent of his body's particles were annihilated before they completely vanished.

Lin Fei had withstood the third thunderbolt, without even invoking the Particle World. Merely half of his body's particles were annihilated. For a Martial God, what was the annihilation of fifty percent of particles?

It was insignificant! He could swiftly recover. Witnessing this scene, even the most obtuse observer now understood the formidable strength of Lin Fei's physical body.

"Incredible, truly incredible, they say Lin Fei is the foremost Martial God. Even without having seen him in action, with such a physical body, claiming him to be the paramount Martial God is unquestionable."

"Facing the three thunderbolts of the fifth heavenly tribulation, doing nothing but relying on his physical body to endure, enduring the bombardment of three thunderbolts is utterly astounding!"

"How many more thunderbolts can Lin Fei withstand this time? Six? Or seven?"

In an instant, all knew that Lin Fei's tribulation this time was destined for a grand purpose, far from a mere rite of passage. Lin Fei had swiftly transcended the three heavenly thunders, seemingly provoking their wrath.

Thus, the fourth thunder descended—a flash of purple lightning, arriving in the blink of an eye. This time, Lin Fei did not dare to be overconfident, promptly invoking the power of Saber World.

With a resonant "hum," Saber World materialized, shielding him from above.

Facing the fourth strike of the purple thunder, Lin Fei was somewhat prepared. The might of this purple lightning was tenfold stronger than the previous ones, a force so powerful it could shake the heavens and the earth.

However, having fused five realms of Saber World, and with the addition of six new world laws after the last thunder tribulation, his Saber World had transformed, far surpassing its former self.

As the purple thunderstruck, Lin Fei's Saber World trembled violently, flickers of electric light dancing within. Yet, ultimately, the purple thunder vanished without breaching the Saber World.

"Boom"—

Before Lin Fei could recover, the fifth thunder arrived, a blood-red lightning, akin to deep crimson blood, instantly freezing his Saber World.

"Crack, crack"—

Lin Fei's Saber World, defenseless, began to fracture under the freeze, allowing the blood-red thunder to penetrate his physical body.

However, Lin Fei refrained from using the Particle World, waiting calmly instead. He could distinctly feel that, after shattering the Saber World, the blood-red thunder had lost much of its strength, posing little threat to his physical form.

Indeed, only thirty percent of Lin Fei's bodily particles were annihilated before the blood-red thunder dissipated. This was the formidable fifth thunder!

Yet, Lin Fei remained vigilant, his gaze fixed upon the sky.

"Whoosh"—

The sixth thunderbolt descended, a bolt of black lightning, utterly dark, seemingly heart-stopping at a mere glance. This black thunder, born for destruction, appeared capable of annihilating everything in its path.

"Pfft"—

In just an instant, Lin Fei's Saber World was obliterated, torn asunder by the black thunder. Then, the black lightning struck Lin Fei's physical body.

"Particle World!"

Lin Fei held back no longer. His one thousand nine hundred Particle Worlds erupted violently.

"Boom"—

The two forces collided fiercely. Upon impact, Lin Fei immediately sensed the black lightning weakening.

His Particle World's power, with an overwhelming force, mercilessly engulfed the black lightning. Then, within Lin Fei's body, only the power of the Particle World remained, his physical form unscathed, and not even ten percent of his particles were harmed.

Outside the tribulation site, everyone fell silent.

"The sixth thunder traversed in less than a quarter of an hour. Such strength..."

"Indeed, seizing six laws in less than a quarter of an hour. Is this truly the fifth thunder tribulation?"

"Forget the fifth; could you withstand six thunders in even the first tribulation, and so effortlessly?"

"Lin Fei is undoubtedly the foremost Martial God of the Divine Realm. Who could possibly be stronger than Martial God Lin?"

"Crossing tribulations as easily as dining and drinking, only Martial God Lin can achieve such a feat."

"Martial God Lin, now facing the seventh thunder? Success would mean seizing seven laws at once!"

"Seven laws, incredible."

"In one tribulation, he seizes laws equivalent to what other Martial Gods might in seven..."

Everyone waited in silence. Would Lin Fei depart from the tribulation ground, or continue to face the tribulation, beckoning the seventh thunder?

No one knew.

At that moment, both inside and outside the tribulation site, a profound stillness reigned—a stillness so deep, one could hear a pin drop.

"Come forth, seventh thunder!" Lin Fei's voice, imbued with a trace of determination and confidence, did not disappoint the onlookers. He plunged his consciousness once more into the Sea of Origin.

"Boom"—

Instantly, the seventh thunderbolt descended!
