Chapter 173 Heavenly Tribulation Descends, Leisurely Passing Through It
However, although Ling Feng did not possess those so-called inheritances, he did have valuable experience he learned from novels in his previous life.
He knew that he had to face and overcome this tribulation alone, and no one else could help him.
Moreover, if others intervene, the power of the lightning tribulation will become even stronger.
Therefore, Ling Feng did not hesitate to immediately order the eleven pets to quickly evacuate from this place and stay away from this terrifying lightning tribulation area.
These pets had also experienced the baptism of lightning, and they were well aware of the reason why Ling Feng made them leave.
Therefore, they dared not delay for the slightest and fled the area covered by the lightning tribulation as quickly as possible.
Fortunately, although the lightning tribulation had completely obscured the sky above the entire Abyss of the Dead, Lady Luck seemed to be on their side, and there was still a passage leading to the Blood-Dripping Cave that was not covered by the tribulation clouds.
Of course, if Ling Feng were to step into that passage at this moment, the tribulation clouds would follow him.
Because this mysterious and ever-present tribulation cloud seemed to possess some kind of spirit, it would relentlessly pursue Ling Feng no matter where he fled, until Ling Feng successfully survived the tribulation or was reduced to ashes under the tribulation.
Fortunately, the passage was still relatively safe for the time being, and the eleven pets were able to successfully evacuate into it.
After seeing them successfully escape the range of the tribulation clouds and enter the passage, Ling Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately afterwards, he had to go all out to prepare for the upcoming tribulation of lightning.
However, due to a lack of actual experience in overcoming tribulations, Ling Feng couldn't help but feel uneasy, completely unsure of what strategy to adopt to deal with the lightning tribulation above.
Finally, he unleashed the unique domain power of Sword Twenty-Three, tightly enveloping himself within it in an attempt to resist the impending tribulation of lightning.
Let's see if we can successfully defuse the lightning tribulation just as we did with Lu Xueqi's incredibly powerful Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique.
Time passed quietly, and before long, the tribulation clouds in the sky above had gathered to their peak.
In an instant, a crimson bolt of lightning, as thick as a bucket, struck down towards Ling Feng with lightning speed.
However, unexpectedly, when this lightning bolt entered Sword Twenty-Three's domain, it was completely unaffected by the sharp sword energy within it, and struck Ling Feng's body directly like an indestructible arrow.
The moment he was struck by lightning, Ling Feng felt a strong tingling sensation throughout his body, but other than that, he did not experience any other unusual sensations.
Seeing that Sword Twenty-Three's domain was useless at this moment, Ling Feng made a decisive decision to withdraw the domain and decided to rely on his tough body to withstand the upcoming tribulation.
Shortly after the first lightning tribulation struck, the second lightning tribulation followed immediately.
Unlike before, this time the Thunder is a vibrant orange color, and its thickness is still like a giant bucket.
However, when the second bolt of lightning struck, Ling Feng only felt that familiar tingling sensation, without causing him any further substantial harm.
Immediately afterwards, seven beams of light fell rapidly like shooting stars, each shimmering with a unique and dazzling color.
These seven lightning bolts correspond perfectly with the seven colors of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple, as if a magnificent and colorful scroll is unfolding in the sky.
Ling Feng stood tall and fearless, resolutely welcoming the baptism of the seven lightning tribulations.
However, when these powerful lightning bolts struck him, they only slightly tore his clothes; otherwise, they did not cause him any real harm.
Ling Feng couldn't help but feel doubtful: Could it be that he was experiencing a fake tribulation? How could such a famous heavenly tribulation be so weak!
Just as Ling Feng was pondering to himself, the tribulation clouds in the sky surged again, brewing an even more astonishing power.
Suddenly, a white bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket descended from the sky like a giant dragon, striking straight at Ling Feng.
Almost at the same instant, another bolt of lightning, as black as ink, struck Ling Feng hard.
Faced with the two incredibly powerful bolts of lightning, one black and one white, Ling Feng gritted his teeth and did his best to resist their impact.
Although he ultimately managed to withstand the two rounds of attacks, Ling Feng finally sensed something different about him.
Besides the indescribable tingling sensation throughout my body, I also vaguely felt a slight stinging pain. However, this feeling was only fleeting.
After the ninth bolt of lightning struck down, the lightning above seemed to temporarily stop falling, and the entire space fell into an eerie silence.
The calamity cloud seemed to be silently gathering even more powerful energy, preparing to launch an even more powerful attack.
A moment later, the energy gathered by the lightning surged to its peak once again, and a thick, crimson bolt of lightning, as thick as a water tank, crashed down.
When the crimson lightning struck Ling Feng, he felt only a slight numbness and did not experience any other unusual sensations, but the numbness was noticeably stronger than before.
This cycle repeated itself endlessly, enduring three rounds of bombardment totaling twenty-seven bolts of lightning, which was what cultivators referred to as the "Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation."
Normally, if someone can successfully survive the Tribulation of the Three Nines, they will undoubtedly become a rare genius in the cultivation world.
Those with even greater talent, after breaking through to the Refining Emptiness and Harmonizing with the Dao realm, will face the even more powerful "Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation," which means being bombarded by fifty-four bolts of lightning in succession.
There are even a very small number of peerless geniuses, one in ten thousand, who, when breaking through to the Refining Void and Merging with the Dao realm, must endure the most terrifying "Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation," receiving the fierce impact of up to eighty-one bolts of lightning.
However, the thunderous bombardment brought by this heavenly tribulation was not entirely without benefit.
As the saying goes, everything in the world has a glimmer of hope, let alone this severe test that Heaven is giving to cultivators.
As long as you can bravely withstand the overwhelming, hammer-like thunderous attacks ahead, you will then be able to bask in the blessings of heaven and earth and receive a sacred baptism from the heavens.
This unique baptism in the world brings countless benefits.
It can not only help cultivators consolidate their current cultivation level, making their foundation more solid and firm;
More importantly, it can thoroughly cleanse the mortal body of worldly impurities, allowing cultivators to possess a body as pure and flawless as crystal, and on this basis, add a few precious cultivation talents.
Furthermore, the terrifying thunderous strikes also have immeasurable benefits for the physical body.
Take Ling Feng as an example. Just now, after experiencing a full twenty-seven thunderbolts, the giant elephant particles contained in the mysterious and unpredictable Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force within his body miraculously increased by a full ten million!
At this point, the total number has reached an astonishing 110 million!
At the same time, his own realm was also propelled by an invisible force, steadily stepping into the peak of the first level of Refining Emptiness and Harmonizing the Dao, only one step away from breaking through to the second level of Refining Emptiness and Harmonizing the Dao.
Although Ling Feng successfully withstood the terrifying Tribulation of the Three Nine Heavens, the dark, oppressive tribulation clouds above his head showed no sign of dissipating.
Judging from the current situation, this calamity is probably at least the legendary Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.
At this moment, the tribulation clouds in the sky resembled a giant beast that had been lying in wait for a long time, silently gathering power in preparation for an even more ferocious attack.
Time passed second by second, but the tribulation clouds remained high in the sky, showing no sign of movement. It seemed that the previous tribulation had failed to cause any real damage to Ling Feng, and thus the clouds had become enraged.
However, the long wait has finally come to an end.
After an unknown amount of time, the tribulation clouds above finally completed their final gathering of power. A bolt of pale golden tribulation lightning, as thick as a bucket, carrying a world-destroying force, crashed down directly towards Ling Feng.
Ling Feng knew nothing about the heavenly tribulation before him, but when he saw that tribulation lightning was still falling from the sky, he was already prepared to bear it all by himself.
The pale golden lightning struck his body hard. This time, in addition to experiencing that familiar tingling sensation, Ling Feng unexpectedly felt a slight, almost negligible stinging pain.
However, since the sting was so slight, Ling Feng didn't pay it any mind.
Then, the situation repeated itself, just like the tribulation of the Three Nine Heavens that had just occurred, with a total of twenty-seven bolts of lightning continuously bombarding Ling Feng's body.
However, unlike before, the color of the tribulation lightning gradually changed from light gold to a final brilliant gold, while the scale of the tribulation lightning remained the same, showing a gradual progression.
If someone well-versed in the ways of heavenly tribulations were to be observing this scene, they would surely recognize that this golden tribulation lightning is the legendary Golden Demon Lightning, which is designed to put severe tests on those who are exceptionally talented and gifted.
Unexpectedly, after all twenty-seven lightning bolts struck down, the tribulation cloud covering the sky above showed no signs of dissipating. Instead, it seemed to be silently accumulating an even more powerful and terrifying force, as if foreshadowing an even more breathtaking storm to come.
Time flies, and the terrifying Heavenly Tribulation of the Six-Nine Heavens has passed, but the tribulation clouds above still churn endlessly, as if brewing an even more powerful force.
This means that Ling Feng's trials are not over yet; what awaits him next is the even more perilous Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation!
This means that Ling Feng's talent is considered among the best in the eyes of Heaven. Such a gifted person will naturally receive more attention and tests from Heaven.
However, Ling Feng himself was completely unaware of this and did not know the hidden secrets behind it.
Fortunately, after undergoing the trials of the Sixty-Nine Heavenly Tribulations, the benefits he gained were immense.
At this moment, his cultivation level soared like a rocket, and he actually broke through to the peak of the second level of the Refining Void and Merging with the Dao!
Looking back, when the thunder relentlessly pounded his tough body, this cunning "Sixth Brother" was not idle.
He skillfully activated the mysterious and unpredictable Devouring Heaven Demon Art, greedily absorbing the immense energy contained within the lightning.
The power of the thunder that descended from the sky contained energy beyond imagination. Even if Ling Feng only absorbed a tiny fraction of it, it was enough to benefit him greatly.
Not only did his cultivation level improve dramatically, but his physical body also became more refined and solid.
However, perhaps Ling Feng's actions angered the tribulation clouds above, or perhaps the Heavenly Dao intentionally increased the difficulty of the test for him.
In short, the preparation time for this tribulation cloud was significantly longer than before.
After a long wait, the calamity clouds above finally seemed to have completed their final preparations and abruptly stopped churning.
Immediately afterwards, a chilling and extremely terrifying aura surged out from the depths of the tribulation clouds.
In an instant, the entire space fell into a deathly silence, as if all living beings sensed the impending catastrophe.
At this critical moment, a seven-colored lightning bolt, as thick as a small bowl, ripped through the sky and struck down fiercely towards Ling Feng with lightning speed.
The dazzling light instantly illuminated the Abyss of the Dead, making it impossible to look directly at it.
Although this seven-colored tribulation lightning was not as large as the previous golden demon lightning, the terrifying aura emanating from it was enough to make any witness feel fear and trembling!
And look at the eleven demonic beast pets in the passage. When they saw the Golden Demon Thunder, they were so frightened that they trembled all over.
Upon seeing the seven-colored tribulation lightning, he was so terrified that he immediately prostrated himself on the ground, his body trembling violently like a withered leaf in the wind.
It's no wonder these demonic beasts were so disheveled and cowardly, because Ling Feng is currently undergoing the legendary Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation!
Such tribulation lightning is truly a once-in-a-millennium event. After all, a peerless prodigy like Ling Feng is not an ordinary person, and he is not someone who can be born into the world easily.
The seven-colored lightning struck Ling Feng with a deafening roar. This time, it was not as easy to deal with as before. Instead, it instantly tore Ling Feng's skin open, and lightning crackled all over his body, as if countless ferocious venomous snakes were frantically biting at his body.
"hiss--"
Ling Feng couldn't help but gasp, because this tribulation lightning was far too fierce and brutal.
However, before Ling Feng could react at all, another lightning bolt, slightly larger than the previous one, followed.
"Hs...hs..."
Ling Feng gasped repeatedly, each breath filled with deep pain and shock.
This feeling was so unbearable, as if every nerve in my body was being pricked by countless tiny needles at the same time.
At that very moment, Ling Feng's body suffered another severe injury. New wounds spread out like a spider web, intertwining with the original scars, creating a shocking sight.
Moreover, the power of the successive tribulation lightning bolts was actually gradually increasing!
And so, nine bolts of tribulation lightning mercilessly struck down.
