Rumble-! Rumble-!
Another mountain-thick pillar of lightning struck down from the tribulation clouds, crashing straight into Qin Feng and swallowing him in its radiance.
Primordial Purple Qi formed a pale-purple barrier around Qin Feng, dispersing most of the lightning tribulation's power. Meanwhile, he repeatedly formed hand seals, sending purple fist and palm imprints crashing against the heavenly lightning above.
Yet the remaining arcs still crackled over his body, scorching him until smoke rose all over him.
Qin Feng gritted his teeth and held on, repeatedly using the True Phoenix Undying Body of the True Phoenix Precious Technique he had just learned to strengthen his body's regenerative ability.
At the same time, he grabbed a large handful of pills for healing and replenishing magical power, then stuffed them into his mouth to rapidly restore his power and mend his injuries.
Before coming to reinforce the Primeval Ancient Realm, Qin Feng had already begun making preparations in the Immortal Domain. His main body and his clone had worked almost simultaneously, refining all kinds of top-grade recovery pills precisely to handle unexpected situations like this.
This heavenly tribulation is far stronger than normal! Even when I underwent my Supreme Tribulation back then, it didn't have such terrifying might, Qin Feng sighed inwardly.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Pillar after pillar of lightning struck down, enveloping Qin Feng in a sea of lightning.
The five Extreme Dao Supremes from the Foreign Realm watched with twitching eyelids and instinctively retreated some distance.
"Isn't the power of this lightning tribulation... a little too terrifying?" one of the Foreign Realm's Extreme Dao Supremes said.
"Just what is this Purple Sun Heavenly Lord's background? He actually triggered such a terrifying lightning tribulation!"
"If he really survives it, he'll probably be outstanding among Undying Ones the moment he enters that realm. He might even rival those veteran Undying Ones!"
Although cultivators at the Supreme level were rare, over countless epochs, many had emerged in the Immortal Domain, the primeval ancient ruins, and the Foreign Realm alike.
But existences at the level of Undying Ones and True Immortals were another matter.
Many powerful Supreme cultivators attempting to break through to the Undying One realm had died beneath heavenly tribulations.
Extreme Dao Supremes truly capable of attempting to enter the domains of Undying Ones and True Immortals were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns, whether in the Immortal Domain, the Foreign Realm, or the Primeval Ancient Realm.
Even Extreme Dao Supremes faced nine chances of death and one chance of survival beneath a heavenly tribulation. Of ten Extreme Dao Supremes qualified to attempt the True Immortal realm, nine would die beneath the tribulation, and only one lucky soul would succeed.
Yet this Purple Sun Heavenly Lord had barely suffered any injuries so far and had endured throughout. Once this heavenly tribulation passed, a True Immortal would likely be born.
At this point, the five Extreme Dao Supremes began harboring doubts. Had this Purple Sun Heavenly Lord truly surrendered in good faith?
Before the reinforcements from the Immortal Domain arrived, they would have been utterly at ease.
After all, the great Immortal Kings had already exterminated all the Immortal King-level experts of this generation, and even ninety percent of the True Immortal-level experts. Only a few scattered fish had slipped through the net, incapable of stirring up any waves.
But now, the great Immortal Kings and the Undying Ones were fighting the Immortal Kings and True Immortals of the Immortal Domain. They had no time to spare for them.
If this fellow really attained the rank of True Immortal, the five of them would be no match for him under any circumstances.
"Notify Lord An Yun immediately and see whether he has time to come over. As long as he comes, even if this fellow becomes an expert in the True Immortal realm,
"He'll have only two paths to choose from: join our realm or be surrounded and killed by us," an Extreme Dao Supreme said.
"I already notified the family head, but he still has no time. That True Immortal Firefeather is extremely formidable. The two have already begun fighting, and I doubt a winner will emerge anytime soon."
"Then let's contact the nearest lord among the Undying Ones and ask them to hurry over!"
"I'm worried that if we delay any longer, other True Immortals from the Immortal Domain will arrive."
"That makes sense."
The five Extreme Dao Supremes from the Foreign Realm began discussing the matter among themselves, then decided to notify a nearby Undying One and ask them to hurry over.
Meanwhile, Qin Feng was also watching the five Supremes from the Foreign Realm. His heavenly tribulation would not end anytime soon; this tribulation was terrifying.
These fellows will most likely summon an Undying One, and an Undying One might well recognize that what I'm undergoing isn't an immortal ascension tribulation, but a creation tribulation.
I need another approach and two contingencies: first, prepare to kill the five Extreme Dao Supremes; second, prepare to escape from an Undying One.
Qin Feng expanded his Primordial Purple Qi, letting it permeate the entire sky. Those outside could no longer see what was happening within, and even divine sense could not penetrate it.
Then he quietly opened his Chaos Space and let the tribulation lightning inside. It was not that Qin Feng had lost his mind and wanted to destroy his own Chaos Space.
Heavenly lightning had tremendous offensive power, but if he kept it moving without allowing it to touch anything, it would cause no destruction.
Long ago, when his Chaos Space had first formed, Qin Feng had devised many ways to use it. One of them was to form a looping space inside his body.
When an enemy attacked, he could use the properties of his Chaos Space to absorb the attack into it and form a spatial passage, making that bolt of lightning circulate in a loop within the Chaos Space.
Then he could open the Chaos Space with his other hand, releasing the attack and returning it to his opponent.
This move was somewhat similar to the Magic Tube. It was an ultimate application of space power, allowing an object to travel through space continuously and form a perpetual loop.
Previously, his Chaos Space had not been large enough to contain lightning, but now it was the size of a continent.
It could just accommodate this tribulation lightning, letting it circulate endlessly inside. At a critical moment, he could release the heavenly lightning to attack his enemies.
Even if it could not kill an Undying One, injuring his opponent-or even causing them to falter for an instant-would be worthwhile.
In fact, Qin Feng had another way to weather the tribulation: use the connection between his Chaos Space and his main body to open a spatial gate on the other side, in the Immortal Domain.
He could channel the heavenly lightning formed in the Primeval Ancient Realm into the Immortal Domain, then release it into the void there. However, this move would cause a tremendous disturbance and attract the attention of existences in the Immortal Domain. He could not use it unless he had no other choice.
The heavenly lightning continued for seven full days and nights. At last, the final bolt of tribulation lightning was about to descend.
This bolt was completely different from those of the previous days. It was no longer a single bolt of lightning, but a sea of lightning condensed from the laws of the lightning tribulation!
Within that sea, all kinds of laws of heaven and earth intertwined: the five elements, yin and yang, space and time, life and death... Countless fragments of the Great Dao flickered in the lightning, as though they meant to slay heaven and earth themselves!
"This is... the Law Thunder Pool!"
At this point, the lightning in the sky had transformed into an enormous blade, like a gigantic guillotine aimed at Qin Feng.
This was a blade wielded by heaven's will. Even an expert in the True Immortal realm would be reduced from a True Immortal to a Remnant Immortal upon taking this strike. This was also the heavenly tribulation's final test.
