496. Third Thunder Tribulation, Twelve Laws!

Lin Fei's physical body completely crumbled, shattering into countless fragments as if it were a mirror. The onlookers fell silent at this sight, believing that Lin Fei had failed. The fifth thunderbolt, with its unexpected ice-like properties that could freeze everything, had been a revelation to all. It was a stark contrast to the typically fiery nature of thunderbolts.

However, was Lin Fei, fragmented into innumerable pieces, truly defeated?

"Boom!"

As a Martial God, Lin Fei possessed an unimaginably tenacious life force. Though not as resilient in preserving life as those Deity Transformation cultivators, Martial Gods were known for their near-immortality. As long as a single particle remained unannihilated, a Martial God could survive.

The blood-red thunderbolt was formidable indeed, but with less than forty percent of its power remaining, it was overly optimistic to think it could completely obliterate every single particle of Lin Fei's body. Lin Fei's body contained eight hundred physical particles, and they were far from mere decorations.

The next moment, the power of these eight hundred particles erupted with a force akin to a volcanic explosion. A fiery energy surged from the shattered remains of his body, engulfing the remnants of the blood-red thunderbolt.

The fifth thunderbolt, already reduced to a fraction of its power, struggled to obliterate most of Lin Fei's physical form and consumed about another twenty percent of its energy in the process. What remained was insufficient to face the full might of Lin Fei's eight hundred particle worlds.

Once Lin Fei's particle worlds unleashed their power, they quickly annihilated the remaining energy of the fifth thunderbolt. With the thunderbolt extinguished, vitality returned to Lin Fei's particles. His flesh began to stir, gradually fusing back together under the influence of the particles within him, eventually reforming his human shape.

Lin Fei alone knew the true peril he had faced. Nearly eighty percent of his particles were annihilated, leaving him with less than twenty percent, including the eight hundred particle worlds which were the core of his physical strength.

"The fifth thunderbolt truly lives up to its reputation," Lin Fei mused. "Now, I've witnessed its power firsthand. It's time to end this tribulation. I'm not yet capable of withstanding the sixth thunderbolt."

As he decided to conclude the tribulation, Lin Fei's consciousness withdrew, integrating the five newly acquired world laws into his body. Though over eighty percent of his physical particles were destroyed, his body was now slowly regenerating, and it wouldn't take long to return to its peak condition.

Heart Demon Martial God was surprised. North Wind True Person should be deeply involved in the intense competition for the World Origin of the True Spirit Realm.

"Heart Demon Martial God, the battle for the True Spirit Realm has reached a critical juncture," North Wind True Person explained. "It's about to be shattered. When the World Origin emerges, it will be every being for themselves. However, my combat avatar is nearly spent, and now that I'm being targeted, securing the World Origin once the realm breaks isn't certain."

North Wind True Person proposed an alliance, suggesting an equal division of any acquired World Origin. But the prerequisite was for the Heart Demon Martial God to withstand all Martial God contenders.

The Heart Demon Martial God frowned in contemplation. The True Spirit Realm was indeed a formidable minor world, contested for thousands of years with countless fallen Martial Gods. Many Deity Transformation cultivators had withdrawn from the fray. The Heart Demon Martial God hadn't considered joining such a perilous struggle. However, North Wind True Person's offer demanded serious consideration.

North Wind True Person held a favorable position in the battle for the True Spirit Realm, but even he seemed to be faltering and sought the Heart Demon Martial God's support.

The division of World Origin would not be easy. Even if the Heart Demon Martial God could handle Martial Gods, the numerous Deity Transformation cultivators, and their avatars posed a significant challenge. His illusions couldn't ensnare all of them.

Suddenly, an idea sparked in the Heart Demon Martial God's mind.

"Wait, what if I bring in another top-tier Martial God, one even stronger than me?" At that moment, a spark of inspiration flashed through the mind of the Heart Demon Martial God, prompting him to suddenly speak up.

"Oh, a Martial God who even garners the admiration of you, the Heart Demon Martial God? Who might that be?"

"A Martial God of boundless potential, whose strength has already reached the pinnacle," he slowly revealed. "From the Ancient Covenant, Lin Fei!"

Each word was pronounced deliberately, as the Heart Demon Martial God uttered the name.
