522. Unprecedented, The Seventh Heavenly Thunder!
"Boom!"
The void thundered, echoing through the space. In his consciousness, Lin Fei perceived the vast sea of origin. His mind delved into this primordial essence, forcibly seizing a law from it. Instantly, a heavenly thunder struck down.
Lin Fei looked up at the descending thunder with a calm demeanor. Surprisingly, he didn't deploy his Saber World or particle worlds. He simply stood there, allowing the thunder to strike him directly.
"Bang!"
The thunder entered his body, and then it vanished without a trace. Lin Fei remained unscathed.
Those watching Lin Fei's tribulation were astounded. Even though they knew Lin Fei could withstand the first thunder, this was the first thunder of his fifth tribulation. To endure it directly with his physical body, and remain completely unharmed, was beyond their expectations. Was this really a tribulation? Or did it seem more like a leisurely experience for him?
Many had harbored skepticism towards Lin Fei's title as the "Number One Martial God." However, witnessing this scene silenced their doubts. After all, the true measure of strength in the Divine Realm was one's ability to endure tribulations.
Lin Fei's tribulation appeared as effortless as eating or drinking. With such prowess, he could possibly pass through nine tribulations in one go. Even the prospect of directly breaking through to shatter the void seemed within his reach.
But Lin Fei chose not to pursue that path. Simply enduring one thunder in each of the nine tribulations was not his goal, for it would never lead to becoming a Martial Ancestor.
"Once more!" Lin Fei declared indifferently. Instantly, his consciousness seized a second law. The second heavenly thunderbolt descended in response, evidently much more formidable than the first.
The white electric light, fleeting as a glint, vanished into Lin Fei's body in a blink. And then, there was no more. Lin Fei remained immobile. His physical body merely quivered slightly before the electric light faded. Thus, he withstood the second thunderbolt. Swiftly following was the third. This third thunderbolt was markedly stronger, its might suffused with a hint of destructive aura.
Yet, Lin Fei remained unyielding, not resorting to the Saber World or even contemplating the use of the Particle World. Lin Fei wished to test the limits of his corporeal particles. After all, the origin of so many worlds should not be squandered in vain. Hence, the third thunderbolt struck as expected, roaring into Lin Fei's flesh.
This time, Lin Fei could not remain indifferent. The particles of his body began to rapidly annihilate. Ten percent, twenty percent, thirty percent, forty percent, fifty percent...
Lin Fei endured without tapping into the power of the Particle World. In the end, only fifty percent of his body's particles were annihilated before they completely vanished.
Lin Fei had withstood the third thunderbolt, without even invoking the Particle World. Merely half of his body's particles were annihilated. For a Martial God, what was the annihilation of fifty percent of particles?
It was insignificant! He could swiftly recover. Witnessing this scene, even the most obtuse observer now understood the formidable strength of Lin Fei's physical body.
"Incredible, truly incredible, they say Lin Fei is the foremost Martial God. Even without having seen him in action, with such a physical body, claiming him to be the paramount Martial God is unquestionable."
"Facing the three thunderbolts of the fifth heavenly tribulation, doing nothing but relying on his physical body to endure, enduring the bombardment of three thunderbolts is utterly astounding!"
Lin Fei held back no longer. His one thousand nine hundred Particle Worlds erupted violently.
"Boom"—
The two forces collided fiercely. Upon impact, Lin Fei immediately sensed the black lightning weakening.
His Particle World's power, with an overwhelming force, mercilessly engulfed the black lightning. Then, within Lin Fei's body, only the power of the Particle World remained, his physical form unscathed, and not even ten percent of his particles were harmed.
Outside the tribulation site, everyone fell silent.
"The sixth thunder traversed in less than a quarter of an hour. Such strength..."
"Indeed, seizing six laws in less than a quarter of an hour. Is this truly the fifth thunder tribulation?"
"Forget the fifth; could you withstand six thunders in even the first tribulation, and so effortlessly?"
"Lin Fei is undoubtedly the foremost Martial God of the Divine Realm. Who could possibly be stronger than Martial God Lin?"
"Crossing tribulations as easily as dining and drinking, only Martial God Lin can achieve such a feat."
"Martial God Lin, now facing the seventh thunder? Success would mean seizing seven laws at once!"
"Seven laws, incredible."
"In one tribulation, he seizes laws equivalent to what other Martial Gods might in seven..."
Everyone waited in silence. Would Lin Fei depart from the tribulation ground, or continue to face the tribulation, beckoning the seventh thunder?
No one knew.
At that moment, both inside and outside the tribulation site, a profound stillness reigned—a stillness so deep, one could hear a pin drop.
"Come forth, seventh thunder!" Lin Fei's voice, imbued with a trace of determination and confidence, did not disappoint the onlookers. He plunged his consciousness once more into the Sea of Origin.
"Boom"—
Instantly, the seventh thunderbolt descended!
