568. The Ninth Heavenly Tribulation
568. The Ninth Heavenly Tribulation
At the place of the tribulation, a cacophony of voices filled the air.
"Someone has managed to withstand five heavenly thunders once again!"
"It's unbelievable. Just a few days ago, there were those who consecutively withstood four and even five heavenly thunders. And now, there are more who have achieved the same feat."
"In the past, enduring two or three heavenly thunders was considered the limit. Those who could withstand four or five were few and far between. It's astounding to witness so many now."
"All thanks to True Monarch Lin for sparking this trend. If one wishes to attain Martial God's greatness and preserve the hope of becoming a Martial Ancestor, they must be ruthless with themselves."
"True Monarch Lin has, with his own strength, truly reshaped the entire martial world."
Many were filled with deep emotion.
Lin Fei chose to provoke more heavenly thunders while crossing the tribulation, unlike in the past when one aimed merely to survive it.
The difference between the two approaches was substantial. One could discern the strength of Lin Fei, who had already ascended to True Monarch status. Yet, he still faced the tribulation.
Many Martial Gods seemed to have finally had an epiphany. It appeared that the tribulation was not a calamity for Martial Gods.
On the contrary, this tribulation should be viewed as a "reward" bestowed by heaven and earth upon Martial Gods.
However, many Martial Gods from before had failed to realize this. They did not comprehend the "profound meaning" or "essence" of the heavenly tribulation.
Hence, they resisted the tribulation vehemently. Some even aimed solely to survive, even if it meant enduring just a single thunderous trial.
But now, with Lin Fei leading the way as a "guide," everyone had a sudden realization.
Turns out, enduring multiple heavenly thunders held immense benefits. Thus, when Lin Fei arrived at the site of the tribulation, what he beheld was this lively scene.
"Is that True Monarch Lin?"
"Yes, it is indeed True Monarch Lin."
"True Monarch Lin has returned to the tribulation grounds. Could it be that he intends to undergo another tribulation?"
"Undoubtedly, he is preparing for a tribulation!"
"If True Monarch Lin proceeds with this tribulation, it will mark his ninth Heavenly Tribulation, won't it?"
"Once he conquers the ninth Heavenly Tribulation, he'll be on the path to becoming a Martial Ancestor!"
"Martial Ancestor, it has been so many years since Divine Realm has witnessed the birth of one..."
In an instant, the entire tribulation grounds erupted in excitement.
Lin Fei's name resounded profoundly among the Martial Gods present.
Everyone recognized Lin Fei.
"True Monarch Lin, are you here to face the tribulation?"
"That's correct. However, with so many people here, should I wait?"
"True Monarch Lin, the most formidable formation within the tribulation grounds has always been kept intact, just in case. It seems that it is indeed coming in handy now."
Lin Fei fell into a momentary silence. This tribulation ground had a formation reserved exclusively for him.
Surprisingly, other Martial Gods did not find it unfair. It appeared that Lin Fei had underestimated his current status among the Martial Gods.
Lin Fei's current position among the Martial Gods was nothing short of legendary!
In fact, in some respects, it even surpassed the status of a Martial Ancestor. Many Martial Gods were unaware of the term Martial Ancestor, but they undoubtedly knew Lin Fei!
This was the current extent of Lin Fei's renown.
Before long, Lin Fei entered the largest formation within the tribulation grounds. This place was the most familiar to him. Countless times in the past, he had crossed his tribulations within this formation.
Now, he was about to face a tribulation once more, but this time, it felt markedly different. This time, it was almost certainly his final tribulation.
After this ordeal, Lin Fei would have conquered the ninth Heavenly Tribulation, and there would be no more opportunities for him to undergo it again.
Beyond the tribulation grounds, other Martial Gods were aware that this was Lin Fei's ninth Thunder Tribulation. They knew they had to bear witness to this spectacle.
One after another, they summoned friends and urgently notified others. They rushed to the tribulation grounds as swiftly as possible. Missing this opportunity meant they would never have the chance to witness Lin Fei's tribulation again.
Clearly, this held immense historical significance.
Before long, the tribulation grounds were surrounded by layers of onlookers, both inside and outside.
Many, including the Void Transformation True Monarchs, Dao Integration True Immortals, and Martial Ancestors, were all focused on Lin Fei's tribulation.
Within the formation, Lin Fei paid no heed to the commotion outside.
"Let it begin," he declared.
Lin Fei raised his head, and his awareness shifted to the depths of the void.
There lay the vast Origin Sea.
This Origin Sea seemed boundless, teeming with an immense quantity of primordial essence. This was the origin of the Divine Realm!
A bold idea began to flicker in Lin Fei's mind. What if he could obtain the origin of the Divine Realm? To what extent could he elevate his particles?
It was a thought too audacious to contemplate! After all, Lin Fei had never heard of anyone obtaining the origin of the Divine Realm, not even Martial Ancestors or Dao Integration True Immortals.
Without hesitation, at the next moment, Lin Fei forcefully drew down the first heavenly thunder.
"Saber World!"
Lin Fei unleashed the Saber World without arrogance.
"Boom!"
The first heavenly thunder struck the Saber World but failed to shatter it. Then came the second, third, and fourth heavenly thunders, one after another.
Until the fifth heavenly thunder. The fifth heavenly thunder had reached the level of a True Monarch, making it tremendously formidable. Yet, even when it struck the Saber World, it couldn't pierce through.
After all, the Saber World had long transcended its previous state, now standing at the pinnacle of the True Monarch level. Hence, the fifth heavenly thunder, despite its True Monarch might, couldn't breach the Saber World.
The sixth heavenly thunder descended. This time, its power was truly at the apex of the True Monarch level. The Saber World finally cracked open.
However, that was the extent of it. After breaking the Saber World with the sixth heavenly thunder, it lost all its power and couldn't harm Lin Fei's physical body in the slightest.
Then came the seventh heavenly thunder, with its power increasing more than tenfold. Lin Fei knew the Saber World couldn't withstand it.
"Boom!"
Lin Fei unleashed a punch, releasing the power of his 5,300 particle worlds within his body. He didn't wait for the heavenly thunder to strike; instead, he actively attacked it.
"Splatter!"
Finally, the two forces collided violently, and the heavenly thunder was annihilated.
The seventh heavenly thunder was no match for Lin Fei and was obliterated by his punch.
"Whoosh!"
The eighth heavenly thunder descended swiftly, almost in the blink of an eye. It struck the Saber World, shattering it instantly. The Saber World couldn't withstand the eighth heavenly thunder, and Lin Fei didn't have the chance to unleash the power of his particle worlds. The heavenly thunder entered his physical body.
It eradicated only thirty percent of Lin Fei's particles before it was vanquished. It had no strength left to obliterate more particles.
Lin Fei shook his head. As he expected, this heavenly thunder was too weak. The ninth Heavenly Tribulation was also too feeble.
In this situation, even if the power of the ninth heavenly thunder suddenly increased tenfold or even several times more, it would be utterly meaningless. It couldn't possibly strike down Lin Fei.
"Boom!"
The ninth heavenly thunder descended, indeed proving to be extraordinary. It even caused ripples within the Sea of Origin.
Lin Fei's Saber World shattered instantly, and the thunder's power directly annihilated fifty percent of his particles. Furthermore, it continued to consume his particles.
In the next moment, the power of Lin Fei's 5,300 particle worlds erupted, aggressively rushing toward the rampant heavenly thunders within him. The terrifying power overwhelmed the thunder's strength and coupled with Lin Fei's vastly improved physical particle composition, the ninth heavenly thunder finally couldn't withstand it and was utterly annihilated.
At this moment, Lin Fei had successfully overcome the ninth Heavenly Tribulation, even resisting all nine heavenly thunders.
Outside the tribulation grounds, everyone knew that True Monarch Lin had successfully passed the ninth Heavenly Tribulation.
"He did it with nine heavenly thunders, all held at bay!"
"After this time, we won't see True Monarch Lin facing a tribulation again."
"I wonder how long it will take for True Monarch Lin to achieve the status of a Martial Ancestor?"
In an instant, anticipation filled the hearts of the onlookers.
When would Lin Fei become a Martial Ancestor?
However, Lin Fei was not as optimistic. He raised his head and gazed at the majestic depths of the Sea of Origin in the void. At this moment, the Sea still seemed to be in upheaval, subtly brewing something.
Lin Fei was filled with curiosity. What kind of reward would the Origin Sea of the Divine Realm bestow upon him for conquering the nine heavenly thunders during this ninth Heavenly Tribulation?
