Unaware of the attention he was attracting from the outside, Lin Fei was indifferent to it. The so-called formation was essentially a vast open space, with some arrangements designed solely to prevent the spread of the Thunder Tribulation's force to others. The brunt of the tribulation, however, was for Lin Fei to bear alone.
"Let's begin," Lin Fei inhaled deeply.
"Boom."
The next moment, he unleashed the world laws. As he did, he seemed to "see" into the depths of the void, where a vast sea of Origin lay. This sea, teeming with world Origins, barely stirred at Lin Fei's use of the world laws, a mere drop in the ocean.
Just as Lin Fei's consciousness was about to touch this sea of Origin,
"Boom,"
A massive bolt of thunder struck down without warning.
The Thunder Tribulation had begun!
The thunder appeared out of nowhere, without clouds or any signs, striking Lin Fei's area with unbelievable speed.
"The Thunder Tribulation!"
"It's so swift. Is this really just the first one, and so terrifying?"
Many discussed the comparison between the paths of Immortal and Martial cultivation. Despite the strength martial cultivators wielded, their path was fraught with peril, especially at the Martial God level. In contrast, those who followed the Immortal Dao, upon reaching Deity Transformation, could create countless incarnations without facing Thunder Tribulations.
However, one's dao wasn't just a matter of preference. Immortal cultivation required innate talent, not everyone could become a Qi cultivator. Similarly, without unwavering will, one couldn't become a Martial God. Thus, these discussions were mostly hypothetical. No Martial God regretted their path.
At this moment, Lin Fei harbored no regrets either. He faced the thunder above, seemingly poised to obliterate him. He stood still, enduring the lightning with his physical body, as this was the essence of facing the tribulation. Dodging or not facing it head-on would only result in endless assaults from the tribulation, leading to inevitable death.
Finally, the thunderbolt struck Lin Fei's physical body. The terrifying force of the thunderbolt, upon entering his body, instantly began to annihilate the particles of his flesh. All particles were obliterated, turning to ash wherever the thunder touched. Just one bolt of lightning had almost destroyed half of Lin Fei's physical body.
However, at this critical moment, the hundreds of particle worlds within Lin Fei erupted fiercely. The power of these particle worlds collided with the thunder's force, annihilating much of its destructive power. The remaining thunder, although still possessing the power to annihilate, was unable to destroy the rest of Lin Fei's physical particles. Moreover, Lin Fei's hundred-particle worlds remained unscathed.
Stolen novel; please report.
Lin Fei sensed that he could have passed the tribulation at that moment, provided he stopped there. But he needed to plunder more world laws. How could he stop?
In that instant, as the first bolt of thunder struck, Lin Fei had already plundered one world law. Normally, passing a Thunder Tribulation allowed the plundering of one law, but Lin Fei wasn't satisfied with just one.
Thus, he once again approached the Sea of Origin with his consciousness and plundered another world law.
"Boom!"
The second bolt of thunder descended. This was still the first Thunder Tribulation, but Lin Fei, aiming to plunder two laws, faced the second bolt. This was a significant risk, but great rewards often come with great risks. Such Martial Gods often end up stronger than their peers, as they acquire more laws.
The spectators outside were astonished to see the second bolt of thunder.
"What, a second bolt? He's greedy for more laws, isn't he?"
"Surviving the tribulation is hard enough, yet he aims to plunder more laws. Each additional law plundered almost doubles the thunder's power. If he can't withstand it, it's a sure path to death!"
"Can this Great Dream Sect's Martial God withstand it?"
The second bolt of thunder arrived swiftly, entering Lin Fei's body in the blink of an eye, unleashing a terrifying destructive force. Lin Fei was prepared. The hundreds of particle worlds within him burst forth, their immense power confronting the thunder's force head-on.
"Boom."
Lin Fei's body trembled as the two forces collided, obliterating most of his physical form. However, the power of the second bolt of thunder was substantially exhausted.
Using the power of the world laws, Lin Fei then attempted to suppress and seal the thunder's force. Ordinary laws were ineffective against such thunder, which contained the power of destruction capable of annihilating all forces and laws.
But Lin Fei's world law was different; it encompassed and contained everything, even the force of destruction. This stray destructive force was sealed by the world law and gradually dissipated into nothingness.
"Success is possible!" Lin Fei thought. "To withstand the Thunder Tribulation, a typical Martial God uses a method of attrition. The stronger the physical particles, the more thunder force it can deplete. My particle worlds, with their powerful force, can also consume a substantial amount of the thunder's power. That's why I can withstand the second bolt. But to continue, I probably can't withstand a third bolt. Unless I have other powers to resist or deplete the thunder's force.
My law's power should be able to seal the tribulation's destructive force. Other Martial Gods' laws are too few and too weak to have much effect on the tribulation's power."
Lin Fei, resolute and decisive, felt he could still plunder another law. "Let's continue!" He didn't hesitate. Believing he could continue to plunder laws, he immediately started to plunder the third.
"Boom."
The third bolt of thunder struck instantly, leaving many onlookers astonished.
"A third bolt of thunder?"
"What is he trying to do?"
"He's actually plundering three laws in one tribulation... this is unbelievable! When did the Great Dream Sect produce such a figure?"
Martial Gods who could plunder three laws in a single tribulation were exceedingly rare. Even throughout the history of the Ancient Covenant, there were very few, no more than ten. Each one was a dazzling figure of their era, with some even becoming Martial Ancestors and True Monarchs.
Now, they were witnessing a Martial God who dared to plunder three laws in his first tribulation. Whether he would succeed remained uncertain, but everyone's eyes were fixed on Lin Fei, filled with curiosity and awe. They all wanted to see who this extraordinary and brilliant Martial God, daring to plunder three laws in his first tribulation, really was.
