"Um?"
"This is..."
Looking at the Patriarch Bodhi from afar, a hint of surprise suddenly appeared in his slightly worried eyes.
"Congratulations, Bodhi!" Tathagata also smiled. "This little fellow Lei Zhan has quietly reached the third level of Power of Space."
"Judging from his spear technique just now, his Power of Spear has reached the second level! Combined with that, and with a top-grade Xiantian Spirit Treasure... he might really be able to do something unprecedented!"
"Why congratulate me?" Patriarch Bodhi looked on from afar, shook his head and laughed, "You Monster Lei Zhan, aren't you also half a member of the Buddhist Sect? Aren't you also a disciple of your Buddhist Sect leader, Tathagata?"
"However, with Heart Power at the third level, Power of Space at the third level, and Power of Spear at the second level... although we don't know where his Power of Time and Time and Space Power are at, he might actually be able to easily overcome this unprecedented... Xiantian Thunder Tribulation!"
The Tathagata's gaze was deep and mysterious.
" Xiantian Thunder Tribulation..."
He looked at the Chaos Vortex high in the sky, where the lightning that was being born was golden and red. However, the gold in the lightning was getting lighter and lighter, while the blood red color was getting deeper and deeper!
"This is truly Heavenly Punishment- destroying tribulation of lightning! This Qi cultivation method is powerful, but how many cultivators can ultimately survive such a tribulation?"
It should be understood that, while rare, those who comprehend the Great Dao with a body that Void Return, like Lei Zhan, are not unheard of.
Although fewer people have grasped the Power of Origin compared to those who have comprehended the Great Dao Void Return, there are still quite a few.
However, among these cultivators, those who can reach the level of Lei Zhan and perfectly combining their Power of Origin and Heart Power are extremely rare!
The number of immortals and demons in the entire Three Realms is extremely small!
"This method, though powerful, cannot be widely adopted. It requires too many resources! And the requirements for the cultivators undergoing tribulation are too high! Unless..." Patriarch Bodhi Tathagata.
"Unless, with the help of external forces!" Tathagata also considered this possibility, "Like the Goddess Nuwa. After breaking through to the level of Pangu, she was no longer afraid of the Heavenly Dao Heavenly Punishment and could completely help those undergoing tribulation to overcome the Three Tribulations of Wind, Fire, and Thunder."
"That leaves only the final Heart Demon Tribulation. Once you reach that level, there are corresponding ways to deal with it."
"In this relatively mild environment, those undergoing tribulation can receive the necessary tempering while also reaping the benefits bestowed by Heavenly Dao after the tribulation. It is truly a win-win situation!"
"This will allow the Path of Qi Refining in my Three Realms to flourish greatly!" A glint flashed in the eyes of Patriarch Bodhi.
"And our Qi Refining Path will also advance further! Pure Yang True Immortal will be comparable to Daluo Dao Ancestor, and Daluo Dao Ancestor... will be comparable to the Leader level!"
"However..." Tathagata pondered, his voice gradually lowering.
"It's too hard! It's too hard!"
"All of this was our plan! Moreover... Goddess Nuwa left the Three Realms in a hurry, and billions of years have passed since then, with no news of her since..."
"Alas~~~" Patriarch Bodhi also thought of this problem, sighed deeply, and then stopped the conversation.
His gaze fell once again on Lei Zhan beneath the Chaos Vortex.
"Um?"
This sight immediately startled even Patriarch Bodhi.
"This... the Power of Time has actually reached the third level?"
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Even Patriarch Bodhi became somewhat excited.
His disciple, including his cultivation in the Land of Spacetime Chaos, accomplished in just two or three thousand years what other immortals and demons had not achieved in billions of years.
Patriarch Bodhi was already skilled at teaching disciples; many of his disciples attained enlightenment in ancient times.
But as countless years passed, those disciples' understanding of the Power of Origin was only at the third or fourth level!
Yet, the achievements of those disciples over countless years were caught up by Lei Zhan in just a few thousand years!
"My disciple is indeed Monster!" Tathagata smiled. "He faced a heavenly lightning far more powerful than the Pure Yang Golden Light Lightning, yet remained calm in the face of danger. He certainly has some trump cards up his sleeve."
On the wilderness.
Bolts of lightning struck down one after another.
It has now gradually transformed from the pure gold color, which is extremely yang, strong, and sharp, into blood red.
"Smash it!"
Lei Zhan had already manifested Three Heads and Six Arms, with three long spears among his six arms, one of which was the Rahu Spear, Xiantian High-Grade Spirit Treasure.
The other two are Blood-Refined Divine Weapon, the Cold Shadow Divine Spear, which have transformed into weapons comparable to mid-grade Pure Yang magic treasures.
"Bang bang bang bang~~~"
Three dazzling spear beams flashed past, each imbued with the Lei Zhan's own Heart Power. Each beam was a perfect fusion of second-level Power of Spear and third-level Power of Time and Power of Space, its might terrifying beyond measure.
Meanwhile, in the sky, the golden-red lightning bolts descending from the Chaos Vortex were all shattered by the three spears.
Then, terrifying golden-red lightning snakes struck Lei Zhan's body, causing his divine body, comparable to Pure Yang Magic Treasure, to feel a slight sense of collapse.
Although Lei Zhan's divine body was somewhat unable to withstand the strain, his divine power instantly repaired the damage.
And his body, through this process of damage and repair, became even more perfect.
"The seventy-third one." Lei Zhan counted silently in his heart. He was bathed in endless crimson lightning, carefully sensing the power of the heavenly thunder.
Even he was finding it difficult by now.
Boom!
The seventy-fourth bolt of heavenly lightning descended!
This bolt of lightning contained very little gold; it was almost entirely blood red.
"Shatter!" Lei Zhan roared, his entire being, like the Xiantian Spirit Treasure Rahu Spear with its sharp edge fully revealed.
Surrounded by Water and Fire for hundreds of feet, he roared as he charged towards the crimson lightning.
The spear, like a dragon, could reverse time and shatter space with a single strike. The ethereal Heart Power contained within the Rahu Spear was even more terrifying.
boom!
The spear made contact with the heavenly lightning, and the crimson lightning trembled, but still carried an unstoppable destructive force as it struck down.
"Um?"
" Star-Plucking Hand! Yin-Yang Life-Death Wheel!"
Lei Zhan's expression changed, and with a thought, he raised his spear to defend himself. On his six arms, visible Star-Plucking Divine Pattern appeared.
Boom~~~
The Fourth Turn Star-Plucking Hand technique, with just a pair of hands, is comparable to a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure; its explosive power is terrifying.
With a small amount of Heart Power and several perfectly combined Power of Origin, in just a moment, the crimson lightning shattered, transforming into countless tiny electric snakes that Lei Zhan around him.
"Phew." Lei Zhan a sigh of relief, inwardly shaking his head. "The combination of the third level's Power of Time, Power of Space, Power of Spear, and Heart Power... it's still a bit of a stretch for me. If only I could combine the Power of Time and Power of Space..."
Over a thousand years, although Lei Zhan did not use the Black Bead to achieve enlightenment, he accelerated his own time by relying on his understanding of the Dao of Time and Space.
Although the frequency was not high and the flow rate was not as exaggerated as when using a time-accelerating artifact, a thousand years was still equivalent to three thousand years.
With such extraordinary comprehension, Lei Zhan's understanding of the Dao remained rapid.
Not only have the powers of fire and water reached the first level, but the Power of Spear has also reached the second level.
Furthermore, the two Power of Origin time and space have also reached the third level through continuous study of the Secret Art of Time and Space.
Over three thousand years, although Lei Zhan could not accelerate the replenishment of energy by the Black Bead, he allowed the Power of Origin he had comprehended to combine perfectly with each other, making his strength increasingly terrifying.
However, human power has its limits.
And what about enlightenment?
It gets harder and harder as you go on.
It is common for cultivators to be stuck at a bottleneck for hundreds of millions of years.
While enhancing many Power of Origin, Lei Zhan can also achieve perfect integration.
However, the only shortcoming is that the Power of Time and Power of Space in this third level is still slightly lacking and has not been perfectly integrated to form the third level of Time and Space Power.
" Time and Space... the third level of Time and Space Power..."
Lei Zhan murmured to himself, sensing something deep within him—he was about to seize that crucial opportunity to break through to the third level of Time and Space Power!
Boom!
Another bolt of lightning struck, Lei Zhan gripped his black spear tightly, like a carp swimming upstream.
Welcoming this crimson thunder, it awaits only the leap over the dragon gate, and upon encountering wind and clouds, it will transform into a true dragon soaring through the nine heavens!
boom!!!
With a loud bang, Lei Zhan was struck by a bolt of crimson lightning and forced back dozens of feet.
However, that bolt of lightning also transformed into countless electric snakes, which eventually surged into Lei Zhan's body, becoming the resources for his divine transformation.
"Again!" Lei Zhan laughed heartily.
If you don't go crazy, you won't live!
Under such an unexpected and terrifying heavenly tribulation, only by surviving it can one live a carefree life!
The seventy-sixth...
The seventy-seventh question...
The seventy-eighth...
The bolts of lightning never ceased for even a moment.
Until the eightieth...
"Puff!"
Lei Zhan spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning somewhat crazed.
"Hahaha! It's blocked!"
"The eightieth bolt of heavenly lightning! We blocked it!" Lei Zhan laughed maniacally.
Above the sky, within the Chaos Vortex, an even more terrifying bolt of lightning was gathering strength.
The final bolt of heavenly lightning took an exceptionally long time to prepare, as if it were also preparing for the final, world-destroying Heavenly Punishment.
It was the purest, most terrifying crimson of lightning, without a single blemish.
This blood-red lightning bolt... carried a terrifying power that could destroy Annihilation everything; just one glance at it was enough to send chills down one's spine.
Is this the last one?
Lei Zhan stood in the void, gazing into the distance, his expression grim.
" Time and Space, Time and Space! The Power of Time and the Power of Space at the third level... how can they be perfectly combined?"
My mind Lei Zhan with countless thoughts.
In such circumstances, a thousand or even ten thousand thoughts can arise in an instant.
But among these countless thoughts, he still couldn't find that one spark of opportunity.
"Looks like... it's time to fight with all our might!" Lei Zhan murmured softly, his whole demeanor suddenly becoming very calm.
The third level of Heart Power is Dominator!
Dominator your own heart, Dominator your own emotions, Dominator... everything!
"Hmm? Dominator... everything?"
boom!
As if a ray of sunlight had pierced through the thick clouds, the Heart Power that had been stagnant for thousands of years suddenly began to slowly grow.
Having constantly used his Heart Power to fight the lightning tribulation, he had already depleted it to less than 30% of his peak strength. Now, with a slow recovery, it has returned to about half of its normal level.
"Hmm? Heart Power... has broken through to the peak of the Dominator?" Lei Zhan smiled, the improvement in Heart Power was a completely unexpected surprise.
The final bottleneck in the fusion of the two Power of Origin time and space remains unresolved, but the process of Lei Zhan is becoming increasingly natural.
"What terrifying heavenly lightning!" Immortal Juhua watched from afar, and even with his Heart Power at the second level, he could feel his entire heart trembling slightly.
" World-Destroying Heavenly Thunder!"
Jiang Jun, Yin Yue, and Red Snow were all shocked.
"The final bolt of heavenly lightning... This feeling of impending doom reminds me of the scene when the Ancient World was destroyed."
Sun Wukong shook his head, saying that he had watched Lei Zhan from relaxed to serious, and from serious to gradually going mad...
The terrifying power of this heavenly lightning was beyond doubt. It even made him feel a very faint sense of threat.
"Yes, the last one." Ji Dian looked around and stopped waving his fan. "If you pass, you'll shed your mortal body. If you don't..."
Ji Dian glanced at his Junior Sister Wang Shu Lei Zhan him, whose eyes were filled with worry and confusion, and immediately fell silent.
Unable to overcome...
Under such heavenly lightning, even the soul and true spirit would find it difficult to escape, and in the end, they could only perish and their true spirit would be annihilated!
"This Xiantian Heavenly Thunder, Junior Brother, you can withstand it," the Woodcutter said calmly, then fell silent.
He could see that this youngest junior brother possessed a ruthless streak. In crucial moments, he could be ruthless to others, and equally ruthless to himself.
When he was engulfed in Karmic Fire, he had also cast a glance at the scene. His decisive action at that crucial moment, which conveniently led to the annihilation of countless mortal beings...
Even the first one he obtained, the Qiankun Bead containing billions of lives, he deliberately crushed...
With such a temperament, regardless of whether he is a demon or not, his heart is extremely extraordinary.
"This is the last one! Let's give it our all!"
Lei Zhan suppressed the myriad distracting thoughts in his mind and with a flick of his hand, he put away the three spears.
Wow~~~
With a sway of its body, Lei Zhan revealed its true form as Three-Legged Golden Crow.
Three giant claws supported his enormous body as he stood in the void, and beneath those terrifying claws, even the void itself began to shatter.
With a flap of its wings, which are tens of thousands of feet wide, it is like a beam of light, covering two hundred thousand miles in an instant.
The Golden Crow True Form is the most trump card that Lei Zhan's Second Primordial Spirit has up its sleeve. Lei Zhan fights less these days, and generally no one can force him to use his full strength, so naturally there is no need to use his trump card to reveal the Three-Legged Golden Crow True Form.
But now, under this terrifying heavenly lightning, he naturally has no choice but to conserve his strength.
This is the last one.
Get through this, and all will be well!
Rumble~~~
Thunder roared.
A fierce glint flashed in Lei Zhan's eyes, and with a flap of his wings, he soared into the sky, surrounded by a vast expanse of Solar True Fire and Weak Water.
The three terrifying Golden Crow Divine Claw seemed to contain the entire world, and could easily crush stars.
Even the slightest trace of its power nearly shattered and Annihilation the void.
"Smash it!"
With a clear cry, the giant divine bird plunged into the Chaos Vortex that had given birth to countless terrifying lightning bolts.
A faint white light flickered on the three enormous Golden Crow Divine Claw, as Lei Zhan poured all his remaining fifty percent of his Heart Power into these three giant claws.
With a single claw strike, Time and Space shattered, Water and Fire collided, and countless spear beams appeared.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Three giant claws grabbed at the descending crimson lightning in succession, and a series of loud "bang bang bang" sounds echoed throughout the sky.
In an instant, this world-destroying heavenly lightning, representing ultimate destruction, trembled and was completely crushed by the Golden Crow Divine Claw.
"Um?"
In the sky, the enormous Three-Legged Golden Crow shattered the lightning and stood there dumbfounded.
He was surrounded by an endless Time and Space Power.
" The Time and Space Power... This is the Time and Space Power? The third level of the Time and Space Power?"
The Three-Legged Golden Crow whispered softly, its words tinged with a faint joy.
