Deep within the Sword Forest, Chaos Qi surged like a tidal wave.
Lin Fan sat cross-legged in the center of the Sword Forest, his body enveloped in a dark golden halo. Sword shadows flowed around him, like a divine sword being forged a thousand times, waiting for the final quenching in a furnace.
"Buzz!"
On the Sword Forest land, the Law of the Sword Dao that had remained for countless years were like a wasteland that had been set ablaze. Lin Fan had completely refined them, and the Law of the Sword Dao within his body were rising at an incredible speed.
"Hiss... The Imperial Prince really refined the entire Sword Forest?"
Ji Kun stood several hundred feet away, staring blankly at the empty Sword Forest, which Lin Fan had refined with the Nameless Sword Embryo in just three months...
Lin Fan refined the sword Law of the Sword Dao of the Sword Forest.
There were also three bottles of ancient True Dragon essence blood and Nameless Sword Embryo pulsating in his palm.
The moment the sword embryo entered his body, he felt an ancient, almost savage Sword Intent, like a True Dragon of the Sword Dao that had been sleeping for countless ages finally opening its eyes, slowly flowing through his meridians and merging with his own Law of the Sword Dao.
"Boom!"
Another muffled thud.
Deep within the Sword Forest, the black broken sword that once suppressed the Nameless Sword Embryo finally shattered completely.
An immense and boundless Law of the Sword Dao erupted from within the broken sword, like a sword spring that had been sealed for countless ages finally bursting forth.
Lin Fan suddenly opened his eyes.
The chaotic vortex in his palm suddenly contracted, and all the remnants of the ancient swords turned into dust at the same moment, scattering in the air and transforming into a silvery rain of light.
Then, he raised his hand, his five fingers spread wide.
The dark red, Nameless Sword Embryo hovered above his palm, pulsating slowly like a sleeping heart.
"Your turn."
He said it softly.
Then, the Chaos Qi surged and swallowed the sword embryo into its body.
His aura was rising.
From the Late-stage Sage, he crashed his way up to the Peak Sage, the barrier shattered, and then he crashed his way to the threshold of the Great Sage Realm.
"Boom!"
A deep, muffled roar exploded from his body, like a star compressed to its limit finally breaking free of its restraints. Vast spiritual energy transformed into an ocean, surging and boiling within his dantian.
The Great Sage Realm!
Above the sky, the gray sky that had been shrouded in Sword Forest for countless years suddenly cracked open at this moment.
Dark clouds suddenly gathered above the entire Sword Forest.
These are no ordinary clouds; they are calamity clouds.
The sky was pitch black, and deep within the clouds, dark golden lightning surged wildly, like ancient thunder dragons, awakened from countless ages, slowly raising their heads in the clouds.
The sky wasn't torn apart, it was cracked.
Layer upon layer of thick tribulation clouds surged from the void, dark and oppressive, carrying a world-destroying pressure. Within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, all cultivators looked up at the same time, their expressions changing drastically.
"Boom!"
A bolt of dark golden lightning, as thick as a water vat, descended from the sky like a spear of divine punishment, striking straight at Lin Fan's head.
" The Great Saint Tribulation? It's come at just the right time."
He looked up at the bolt of lightning and raised an eyebrow slightly.
He didn't dodge, nor did he use any magical artifacts; he simply raised his fist and slammed it towards the dark golden lightning.
"Boom!"
The lightning was shattered by his attack, turning into countless golden fragments that scattered across the sky.
But the tribulation clouds did not dissipate; instead, they grew even denser, expanding from a single black cloud into a vast sea of lightning covering hundreds of miles of sky within just a few breaths.
Within the sea of lightning, dark golden lightning surged and intertwined, like ancient lightning beasts imprisoned and roaring, exuding an aura of destruction that was terrifying to the extreme.
"Hiss!"
"This is the Great Saint Tribulation? Why does it feel more like the Emperor Tribulation?"
"No, the scale of these tribulation clouds... is even more terrifying than the Sage King Tribulation!"
The terrifying lightning tribulation and the terrifying commotion echoed throughout dozens of passes along the ancient road!
Countless cultivators looked up in disbelief, dumbfounded at the wildly expanding tribulation clouds. The dark golden lightning surging like dragons in the sea of thunder was too terrifying.
I felt my very soul trembling.
Outside the thirty -Shiyi level, a figure shrouded in starlight strode across an ancient ruin.
Ye Chen.
He had just emerged from a forbidden zone that no one dared to go to, and his body still retained a strong aura of Law of Stars.
He suddenly stopped!
He sensed an extremely familiar aura, raised his head, looked in the direction of the Sword Forest, and a complex light flashed in his eyes.
"He... has become stronger again."
He muttered something under his breath, clenched his fist, and the rune formed from the Law of Stars gently rotated in his palm. He cast his gaze into the depths, into a forbidden zone that he himself was not confident of venturing into.
I should pick up the pace too.
He took a deep breath, resolutely turned around, and walked deeper into the restricted area. Lin Fan was putting too much pressure on him!
Who is undergoing tribulation?
"Who else could it be? The imperial son of the Lin Clan!"
"He just broke through to the Great Sage Realm... and he's already attracted such terrifying tribulation lightning?"
"Look at him... he doesn't seem to be planning to run?"
All eyes were fixed on the very center of that sea of lightning.
There, a figure in white robes stood beneath the sea of thunder, his body surrounded by surging Chaos Qi. He looked up at the tribulation clouds that were brewing destructive power, a smile playing on his lips.
Within the clouds of calamity, lightning surged like a sea.
It wasn't just one or two streaks, but vast swathes of lightning gathering, the lightning a dark purple, like ink stained with blood, carrying an aura of destruction and curse.
The lightning tribulation seemed to have been provoked by Lin Fan!
A barrage of lightning bolts, as thick as water vats, jet black with dark purple electric flames burning at the edges, descended from the heavens with Law of Destruction powerful enough to instantly vaporize a Mid Great Saint.
Each strike was enough to instantly vaporize a Great Sage Realm expert.
But as Lin Fan walked through the sea of lightning, the Chaos Qi around him transformed into a hazy barrier, and not a single bolt of lightning that struck him could penetrate that thin layer of Chaos Qi.
"Too weak."
Not satisfied with that, he reached out and grabbed, and the Chaos Qi condensed into a vortex in his palm, like the gaping maw of an ancient beast, which began to frantically devour the surrounding lightning.
"Boom!"
The tribulation clouds surged violently, as if sensing the provocation. Countless bolts of lightning exploded simultaneously, transforming into a dark golden pillar of lightning as thick as a heavenly pillar, carrying the supreme pressure of the Law of Destruction, and crashing down on Lin Fan.
Lin Fan looked up at the pillar of lightning and chuckled.
He opened his mouth.
boom!
He swallowed that bolt of lightning, as thick as a pillar of heaven, whole...
To be precise, it was the vortex of the Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Art formed from Chaos Qi that swallowed the entire pillar of lightning.
The Chaos Gods and Devils Body's Devouring Talent reached its peak at this moment.
The destructive lightning pillar, powerful enough to annihilate a Great Saint, was refined by the Chaos Qi the moment it entered his body, transforming into strands of pure lightning essence that merged into his meridians and dantian.
The calamity clouds trembled violently, as if they had been provoked.
Not one, but three.
Lightning bolts cascaded down like waterfalls, each bolt several times thicker than the previous one, carrying even purer Law of Destruction, like a surging sea of lightning.
"Good timing."
Lin Fan looked up at the three bolts of tribulation lightning and grinned.
He stood up.
His white robes fluttered in the wind, and Chaos Qi surged around him like boiling water. He took a step forward and plunged into the sea of lightning.
"Boom!"
Three bolts of lightning struck him simultaneously, engulfing him entirely in their purplish-black light.
However, the next moment, a deafening roar erupted from the center of the sea of thunder, "Not enough! Add more for this imperial prince!"
His voice boomed through the sea of thunder.
Then, the entire cloud of calamity began to tremble violently.
In the sky, the cultivators watching from afar witnessed a scene they would never forget.
In the center of the sea of thunder, the figure in white was spreading his arms wide.
Chaos Qi condensed into a huge vortex around him, and all the lightning within a hundred feet radius around him surged towards him like rivers flowing into the sea.
"He... he... he's eating lightning?!"
"You can even refine a heavenly tribulation?"
" The Chaos Gods and Devils Body truly lives up to its name!"
"Just a reputation without substance? That's utterly beastly!"
The discussion erupted.
But Lin Fan completely ignored those stares.
He felt completely refreshed.
The Chaos Gods and Devils Body swallowed those tribulation lightning bolts as if it were a bowl of hot soup.
Every wisp of lightning was refined into pure primordial power, flowing through his meridians into his dantian, allowing his physical body and the laws of nature to solidify simultaneously.
"Again!"
He looked up and roared.
Jieyun remained silent for a moment.
Then, it exploded.
It really exploded.
The lightning bolts stopped falling and instead coalesced into a thick, black-purple pillar of lightning, hundreds of feet long. It carried the ultimate destructive power of the Heavenly Dao's will, like a sword of divine punishment, and slashed down at Lin Fan.
This attack was a full-force strike from Jieyun.
It was enough to instantly obliterate a Saint Early-stage Sage King stages.
