Chapter 176 The Robbery

Chapter 176: Tribulation Ends

At this moment, Lin Fan extended a palm, condensing a symbol, and struck towards the sky; time seemed to slow down and began to rewind.

The endless Lightning was no exception, stopping at a certain moment, as if the scene had frozen, and then it was devoured by that symbol, dissolving into nothingness.

“Crack!”

However, the Thunder continued incessantly, one wave after another, smashing down fiercely again, impossible to defend against, determined to kill him.

Moreover, the Lightning in the sky was peculiar, colorful, like terrestrial auroras, pouring down here, converging into a river.

It grew stronger, its power increasing by a segment; each time it struck Lin Fan, transparent blood holes appeared both front and back, a truly tragic sight.

This was a dangerous sign; without a doubt, he had fallen into a great crisis, his bones constantly cracking and breaking.

If not for the immortal bone healing him and restoring his Physical Body, he would have been crippled long ago, or even turned into a pile of charcoal.

“My Dao is still in its nascent form, yet it has attracted Heavenly Tribulation; I am truly unlucky!” Lin Fan gave a bitter laugh, then rejoiced.

Although accompanied by a life-and-death crisis, his eyes grew brighter and brighter; the Heaven and Earth bringing down a great tribulation to obstruct his Dao indicated that the Dao he had comprehended was very powerful and extraordinary.

This could be seen from how exceptionally talented Cultivators underwent Tribulation, as they were feared by the Heavens, thus receiving the strongest punishment.

“Boom!”

Lin Fan groaned and screamed; a crimson Lightning struck him, his shoulder exploding, shattered bones scattering, blood flowing profusely, with bone marrow exposed.

It hurt, it hurt too much! Even after experiencing a journey through Hell, his vision went black, and he nearly fainted.

The Heaven and Earth were inherently emotionless; now, he seemed to have angered the Heavens and been abandoned by the world, to be utterly annihilated, hence the unprecedented Lightning Tribulation.

Every time a flash of Lightning streaked by, it was dazzling, like suns of various colors exploding, striking endlessly, their power unimaginable.

At this moment, even if he exhausted all his means and used various precious Divine Abilities, it was difficult to block; there was no other way, he could only endure it!

Of course, some of Lin Fan’s Divine Abilities were still useful: Unique Cave Heaven, Immortal Bone Divine Ability, and the new Dao Palm's Karma: Birth and Extinction, all greatly reduced the power of the Lightning Tribulation.

“Kill!”

“Splendid Mountains and Rivers!”

“Chaos Sowing Green Lotus!”

…

“Grass Character Sword Secret!”

…

Lin Fan seemed to have gone mad, giving his all; although his body was riddled with holes, blood flowing everywhere, and badly damaged, he still persevered.

By now, it was a test of perseverance; as long as he had a breath left and was alive in the world, he had to stand firm.

Lin Fan believed that the Lightning Tribulation could not last forever; there would always be a moment when it stopped, leaving a glimmer of hope for living beings.

Furthermore, he was also creating a path to survival; as long as he endured the Immortal Bone’s cooling period, even the most severe injuries could be healed.

At the same time, the newly created secret art took effect, refining the Lightning and transforming it into an astonishing surge of Life Qi, replenishing himself.

“I must get through this!” In the end, Lin Fan’s eyes burst with Divine Light, completely throwing caution to the wind; his Essence, Qi, and Spirit resonated, reaching their strongest, actively attacking the Heavenly Tribulation.

“Clang!”

The Sword Qi of a blade of grass appeared, brilliant like the sun, as if it could cleave open star rivers, tear apart the vast Universe, indestructible and unstoppable.

Lin Fan’s body, at that moment, transformed into a sword embryo, daring to swing at the Heavens, not only cutting through the Lightning but also tempering his Physical Body.

Grass Character Sword Secret!

Besides its strong offensive power, breaking through everything and cutting through all matter, it could also temper matter, using oneself as a sword to refine the body.

It must be said that this allowed him to hold on, to see the dawn, like refined iron that had been hammered a thousand times, becoming increasingly powerful.

Later, the cracks in his bones closed, full of vitality, and even his flesh was tinged with a faint golden color; his Physique was strengthening, becoming much tougher.

After some time, the Lightning weakened, signifying that the Lightning Tribulation was about to pass; he knew he had endured, and the hope of life had arrived.

Soon, as the last bolt of Lightning disappeared, tranquility returned to this place.

At this moment, Lin Fan not only survived but also completed a cruel transformation; a Treasure Trove within his body seemed to have been opened, and his strength greatly increased.

It seemed related to his Physique, changing in a certain direction, somewhat resembling the Sacred Body of later generations; his blood contained surging Divine Power, capable of swallowing mountains and rivers.

“Never mind for now; as long as it’s developing in a good direction, there’s no problem.” Lin Fan shook his head; if he could become a Sacred Body, that would also be excellent.

Among all Physiques in Shrouding the Heavens, it could rank in the second tier, capable of challenging Great Emperors upon Major Achievement, which showed how formidable it was!

It is said that the Nine Heavens Guardians lineage possesses golden Qi and blood, extremely similar to the Sacred Body lineage, and it is very likely related to it.

“Gulp!”

Lin Fan began to bend down; after taking several large gulps of Thunder Tribulation Liquid, he took out a jade cauldron again to collect the remaining portion, adhering to his nature of leaving nothing behind.

Soon, only a small portion of the two-foot square purple liquid remained.

However, at this point, he could no longer collect the Thunder Tribulation Liquid; a portion would mysteriously evaporate each time, impossible to seal, incredibly peculiar.

“Too much is as bad as not enough; does the Great Dao take half?” Lin Fan frowned, thinking of the events recorded in the bone book, and his heart ached, clutching his chest.

“No, I can’t waste it! If I can’t take it, I’ll drink it all!”

He played the rogue, gulping down Thunder Tribulation Liquid while studying the ancient Thunder Pool, a thought sprouting in his mind: to move the pool as well.

However, before this idea could be put into action, Thunder surged instantly, striking around him, like a warning from the Heavens not to covet the pool.

“Tch, why be so stingy? You’ve zapped me for so long, what’s wrong with me taking something?” Lin Fan grumbled, and after filling his stomach, he left contentedly.

On the other side, everyone was observing closely what was happening in the clouds, but due to the surrounding Thunder waterfall, ordinary people simply couldn't see clearly.

“Did he… get through it?” Someone wondered, greatly astonished.

“Hope is slim…”

“That Lightning Tribulation was too terrifying; it simply didn’t give anyone a chance to get through it. Even if a Divine Fire Realm Cultivator came, they might not be able to pass, let alone…”

Many people sighed and shook their heads, not having much hope for the Butian Sect’s First Generation.

“No, Junior Brother will definitely succeed!” Yue Chan bit her lip, a complex emotion in her heart, extremely nervous.

“Look quickly, someone is coming down from the clouds!”

Until a surprised cry erupted, instantly causing an uproar.

Everyone looked up; a figure fell from the horizon, covered in Lightning, a shocking sight that made everyone gasp.

“This is truly a miracle; he actually survived, unbelievable!!!”

“Hahaha, Heaven bless my Butian Sect; with such a genius, it is bound to flourish…” An Elder rejoiced, grinning from ear to ear.

How many people, throughout history, have managed to pass a Heavenly Tribulation, let alone at the Array Formation Realm? Basically, one could say none.

However, while some people had various expressions, others had already moved; they were more concerned about Lin Fan’s current injuries than anything else.

Especially Yue Chan, who flew over immediately, catching him and gently holding him in her arms, in close contact.

Immediately, Lin Fan felt a soft touch and a delicate fragrance, and he leaned closer.

“Junior Brother, how are you?” Yue Chan’s pretty face was filled with concern, her eyes clear and misty, revealing genuine emotion, as she embraced him.

“Yue Yue, I’m a bit tired; I want to sleep on your soft bed for a while. Quickly take me back.”

Lin Fan was languid, not even lifting his eyelids; he was truly exhausted, mentally fatigued.

“Okay!”

Upon hearing this, Yue Chan was torn between laughter and tears, and then, holding the young man in her arms, she transformed into a divine light and soared away.
