Lin Fei had never undergone the Thunder Tribulation, not even once. However, he possessed hundreds of particle worlds. Once these worlds erupted, their terrifying power was akin to a volcanic explosion, instantaneously detonating.
"Boom!"
Lin Fei's aura suddenly enveloped the ten Deity Transformation incarnations. Even these incarnations, along with the woman, were momentarily bewildered by such a formidable presence. Could someone who hadn't passed the Thunder Tribulation really possess such a fearsome aura?
But it was already too late. Lin Fei launched a punch, targeting all ten Deity Transformation incarnations without exception.
"Buzz."
Moreover, his Saber World descended, its suppression power dramatically enhanced by the fusion with the world's laws, undergoing a qualitative transformation.
With the deployment of Lin Fei's Saber World, the ten Deity Transformation incarnations were further oppressed. For a brief moment, the combined momentum of Lin Fei's ten particle worlds, Saber World, and the world laws rendered the incarnations utterly immobile.
However, this was only a fleeting instant. The Deity Transformation cultivators quickly reacted, but their response was tardy. Lin Fei's punch had already thunderously struck the ten incarnations.
"Bang."
There was no time even for a cry of agony. In an instant, the ten Deity Transformation incarnations were shattered, reduced to dust, and annihilated on a particle level. The void returned to tranquility.
Lin Fei slowly withdrew his hand, calmly stating, "It's done. Don't forget the total of twelve thousand contribution points."
The woman seemed to awaken from a dream, utterly shocked. At that moment, she realized how ludicrous her plan had been, seeking a Martial God who hadn't passed the Thunder Tribulation, thinking they would be weak.
But now? It appeared she had unwittingly discovered an extraordinary being. Without having undergone the tribulation, yet so terrifying, Lin Fei had obliterated ten Deity Transformation incarnations with a single punch. This was far from ordinary.
The woman, having traversed the Divine Realms for many years, was not devoid of insight. The Martial God she had employed, Lin Fei, was clearly no ordinary being. Her intuition suggested that his status in the Great Dream City was likely remarkable. For a moment, her expression was a complex mix of wariness and relief.
Regardless, the immediate threat seemed to have passed. The two Deity Transformation cultivators had surely not perished; it was only their incarnations that had been destroyed.
Each Deity Transformation cultivator would have hidden their true self in a place of absolute safety to ensure their immortality. Unless someone specifically targeted and relentlessly hunted their incarnations, losing a few would not lead to their demise.
Stolen story; please report.
However, for the two of them, the loss of so many incarnations was undoubtedly a severe blow, possibly taking thousands of years to recover.
Upon returning to the Ancient City, the woman hesitated before softly introducing herself, "Martial God Lin, my name is Xia Yue. I was the one who posted the task in the Great Dream City and hired you. When I first obtained the first layer of the Great Dream Heart Sutra, I was merely a mortal. After years of deceit and cunning, I've cultivated to Martial King, but Martial God is still far beyond my reach. I've taken some extreme measures to preserve myself. Please forgive me."
Lin Fei responded calmly, "You are indeed fortunate. However, your affairs are of no concern to me. Once you pay the twelve thousand contribution points, our dealings are concluded."
Lin Fei showed no interest in Xia Yue's "secrets". At the level of Martial Gods, especially at his level, he could obtain whatever he desired directly. Besides, what significant secrets could a Martial King hold? Even if there were secrets leading to becoming a True Monarch, what would that mean to someone like him? He simply did not care.
Xia Yue seemed to want to say more but ultimately remained silent. She only mentioned that upon completing the task, Lin Fei would naturally receive his twelve thousand contribution points.
Lin Fei nodded and immediately headed to the Great Dream City. Upon submitting the task at the task hall, he indeed received the twelve thousand contribution points.
"Twelve thousand contribution points, I didn't expect to get them so quickly," he thought. "This is quite a fortune, enough for me to experience the might of a Thunder Tribulation."
Lin Fei promptly spent a hundred contribution points to seek out a Martial God, aiming to experience the might of a Thunder Tribulation firsthand. The Martial God readily agreed. For a Martial God, simulating the power of a Thunder Tribulation in a dream was a simple task.
"Rumble..."
Soon, Lin Fei witnessed the formidable power of a Thunder Tribulation. Indeed, it was strong, but not to the extent of being world-destroying or causing despair.
"I'm comparing it with the strength of a hundred particle worlds within me," Lin Fei thought. "Naturally, it seems manageable. But without these worlds, whether I could withstand it is uncertain. However, from what I see, passing a Thunder Tribulation should be feasible."
Lin Fei's cultivation had reached a bottleneck; his laws could not be further augmented. His only path forward was to undergo the Thunder Tribulation, and he felt confident about it. "Everything is ready. There's nothing to fear in the Thunder Tribulation, even that of the Divine Realms," he mused.
Leaving the Great Dream City, Lin Fei returned to the Ancient City, where there was a designated area for undergoing tribulations. As a member of the Ancient Covenant through the Great Dream Sect, he could use this facility for free.
The so-called free tribulation ground was essentially a place with reinforced formations. These formations absorbed the power of the heavenly thunder, preventing its force from spreading too widely. They could not, however, weaken the thunder's strength.
A genuine Thunder Tribulation required the Martial Gods to endure the strikes of heavenly thunder, with the number of strikes varying. The tribulation would cease when deemed "appropriate," meaning it no longer continued to plunder the laws.
The more laws it plundered, the better, but this also meant a longer duration under the thunder's assault. The power of the thunder increased as the tribulation progressed, posing a greater risk if one became too greedy.
Passing the tribulation tested not only one's accumulated strength but also one's temperament.
"I am Lin Fei, a member of the Great Dream Sect," Lin Fei declared.
"Great Dream Sect? You may enter. Come out on your own after the tribulation ends."
Seeing Lin Fei enter a formation for the Thunder Tribulation, the onlookers were surprised. While the Great Dream Sect had many members, their levels varied, and those who came to undergo tribulations were even fewer compared to other major martial forces.
Now, a Martial God from the Great Dream Sect attempting the Thunder Tribulation was a rare sight, drawing the attention of many to Lin Fei's tribulation process.
