Chapter 423: Peak Stage
Xuan Xue looked at the tribulation cloud with a solemn expression. "Tribulations are never meant to truly eradicate you, so have faith in him..."
...
Inside the sect, most of the disciples had already seen the tribulation of eight lightnings and they were beyond shocked. Eight lightnings were already unbelievable for them, seeing the formation of the ninth lightning was just too much.
They didn’t even know who was going through this tribulation as the peak elders hadn’t told them anything beforehand.
"I-Is it chief disciple Lin?" One of the disciples couldn’t help but voice out her thoughts.
Most of them had the same thoughts as by now they had become aware that he was beyond their comprehension.
"Nine lightnings... sigh, he really is a monster..."
"I wonder if it is d-dangerous for him?"
"I just hope that he somehow survives this..."
....
Lin Feng took a deep breath and stood up, he wasn’t afraid of this ninth lightning but he also didn’t want to take it lightly.
Instead of facing it inside the abode, he decided to leave.
When he came out, the first thing he did was give a reassuring smile to all the worried faces surrounding the peak. "It is just an ascension tribulation... not a punishment tribulation."
His meaning was clear, no matter how strong and terrifying the ninth tribulation would be, it would still be something which he had a chance of surviving as long as he gave his all without an ounce of hesitation.
All this loud rumbling from the heavens and the ominous presence was to make his will waver, to sow flicker of doubt in his heart, which was the reason most cultivators perished in their tribulations.
RUMBLEEEEEE!
A heaven breaking rumble echoed from the sky above the Frozen Heart Sect, and it was heard not only in the Northern Region but throughout the whole world.
Soon an intense brilliance formed in the clouds and finally the lightning fell.
CRACCKKKKK!
Lin Feng encased himself in a barrier and when the lightning made contact with it, he put both his hands at the location of its impact.
This would help him maintain the integrity of the barrier while also supplying it with chaos qi, which his dantian was replenishing constantly even now.
No matter how low the chances were, he had to give it his all.
Xuan Lian and the others weren’t able to directly look at the impact as its brilliance blinded even them, their spiritual senses were also affected, making it impossible to know what was happening inside. Only Xuan Xue was able to perceive everything.
Inside the barrier, Lin Feng was as calm as ever even though his chaotic shield had already begun cracking.
It wasn’t surprising for him as he had expected this, the strength in this strike was tremendous.
There was one more thing that he was certain of, this barrier would break before the strike ended, so he still had to face the lightning with his body.
He couldn’t even impose his will on the barrier or that would trigger the heavenly laws further and increase the strength of tribulation.
It seemed he would lose his flesh and blood again, well it was fine for him since pain wasn’t something he considered a threat or hindrance.
A few breaths later, things happened exactly as Lin Feng had predicted, the barrier disintegrated.
Lin Feng protected his soul and let his body bear the full onslaught of the tribulation lightning.
There was no need to be afraid though, he had given his all without hesitation till now so it was impossible for this tribulation to kill him.
A few moments later he was standing with only his bones and the tribulation finally ended.
A vast amount of spirit qi began gathering around him and began healing him, he had successfully passed his tribulation and since his dantian was already at the peak stage, he didn’t really need to break through, he was already at the peak stage in terms of qi cultivation.
Only his blood core was still at the Mid Stage, but that wasn’t the issue, the amount of qi he was going to get from passing these nine tribulation lightnings was tremendous, he could easily elevate it to the peak stage.
Xuan Xue and the others took breaths of relief seeing the spirit qi gathering around the spirit peak. Soon others were also able to see through the obscurity and saw Lin Feng’s current state.
They trembled at the sight of it and again got reminded of how strong his will was, standing in that condition was impossible from a human perspective.
Mu Yao was still not able to see through the dense spirit qi surrounding the peak so she tugged at her master to ask about it.
"Is senior brother alright?"
Xuan Xue nodded with a smile. "He is..."
After Lin Feng absorbed every bit of spirit qi, the clouds above the spirit peak finally vanished.
He had reached the peak of this world in terms of cultivation realm.
The others were now able to approach him.
...
As the days passed by, the news spread from the people who were nearby and had seen the tribulation happening with their own eyes. They had seen something unprecedented, something that might have never happened in the history of this world.
Most of the people who hadn’t seen it with their own eyes didn’t want to believe it when they heard about it, but given the fact that multiple sources had seen it happen and the loud rumble which even they had heard was enough to make them accept that someone really had called upon nine tribulation lightnings and even survived due to the storm of spirit qi surrounding the Frozen Heart Sect after the tribulation passed.
No one knew the identity of the person, but some cultivators were able to guess as there was only one person who could achieve that, Lin Feng.
Those who had reached the Tribulation Ascendance realm and understood how terrifying heavenly tribulation truly was began to develop reverence toward him.
