So far, I have encountered the Nine Profound Lightning, Profound Vajra Lightning and the Yin Fire of the heart. I wonder what will appear this time? Hopefully, this will be something new, Chen Feng thought.
Sou!
A lightning lance flashed out from the tribulation clouds to descend upon Chen Feng.
So fast!
Despite having put all his attention on the tribulation clouds, the sudden attack had still shocked Chen Feng. However, he did not attempt to evade the attack. Instead, he reached out with his hand to grab the lightning lance.
Pa!
The lightning lance was easily destroyed. With a blow, the lightning powers then dissipated.
The speed is good, but the offensive power is too weak. Chen Feng shook his head. Sensing the highly formidable power within his body, Chen Feng thought to himself. If this is all, then this Heavenly Tribulation would be an unchallenging one.
Boom!
The thick tribulation clouds suddenly parted with a flash as a clump of lightning descended, appearing before Chen Feng. Lightning radiance flashed and a life-like cultivator wielding a lance emerged to attack Chen Feng.
“A human-shaped Heavenly Tribulation!” Chen Feng was surprised. However, he did not feel worried about it. In the face of the incredibly swift attack, Chen Feng merely waved his hand and power surged forward to stop this opponent's attack.
Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou!
The cultivator, formed from the power of lightning and wielding a lance in hand, possessed a mighty stature that gave off the appearance of a G.o.d of Thunder. Maintaining an impa.s.sive face, he then waved the lance in his hand and lance silhouettes instantly filled the sky.
Break!
With a punch from Chen Feng, all of the lance silhouettes and even the cultivator were blasted away. The cultivator broke into streams of lightning energy, which Chen Feng absorbed.
Sou!
Another cultivator, wielding a sword, descended before Chen Feng. His speed was even superior compared to that of the previous cultivator.
Shua!
Chen Feng did not evade the attack and a b.l.o.o.d.y wound appeared on his body. Although the b.l.o.o.d.y wound disappeared in just the blink of eye, it had managed to shock Chen Feng greatly.
A cultivator formed from the power of wind!
Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou!
Sword light flashed and a series of five swords shot forward, aimed at Chen Feng's throat and four limbs respectively.
Chen Feng, however, smiled. Again, he did not evade the attacks and simply allowed them to strike him. Five b.l.o.o.d.y wounds appeared before quickly healing up.
“Once again, although the speed is good enough, the offensive power is not,” Chen Feng said, taking a step forward to unleash a punch.
Boom!
The power of the fist burst out. Despite the cultivator's evasive manoeuvre, the streams of power bursting out wildly had still managed to strike the cultivator's body. Due to that, his speed faltered slightly. Next, Chen Feng quickly rushed forward to utilize a Great Longevity Palm to break the cultivator apart.
Another one down.
Boom!
Another cultivator descended. This one possessed a body that shone with golden light. Wielding a blade, he came to stand before Chen Feng. The blade was also gold in colour, shining with a dazzling light. Chen Feng could feel killing energy blowing towards his face.
It's actually a cultivator formed using the power of metal.
Shua!
Golden light flashed and the cultivator's attack arrived. Chen Feng responded by raising one hand to bring out a Longevity Blade that shone with golden light as well. The Longevity Blade then collided against the cultivator's blade.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The two of them fought one another, unleashing one swift move after another and golden light and golden sparks flashed about everywhere. After over 100 rounds, Chen Feng then employed the Longevity Steps to bring himself close to the cultivator and ended the fight with cleaving attack.
Sou!
A cultivator formed from the power of fire appeared.
Defeated after just one confrontation.
Sou!
A cultivator formed from the power of earth appeared.
Bang!
Battered and returned to the earth.
Sou!
A cultivator formed from the power of wood appeared…
Sou! Sou!
Just as Chen Feng was thinking how this tribulation was quite diverse, two cultivators appeared, one on his left and one on his right. Although both of them were formed from the power of water, one of them radiated ice energy. He was like a block of ice. Surprisingly, he possessed the ice energy born from the power of water.
Boom!
A sky-engulfing wave of water and an unending torrent of frost a.s.sailed Chen Feng simultaneously, putting pressure down on Chen Feng. It finally felt like the Heavenly Tribulation was actually starting. The previous few opponents had been somewhat weak in his opinion.
Bring it! It'd be better if it's even stronger. After refining the Heart of Seven Apertures, Chen Feng's fleshly body had undergone a world-shaking transformation. Every move he made contained great power. Thus, the coldness of the frost attack was incapable of affecting Chen Feng by much. His blood streams merely boiled slightly for his entire body to become like a furnace. Even a drop of his blood would be able to burn Mystic Iron, let alone this frost energy.
Sou! Sou!
Before Chen Feng could finish off the two cultivators, however, two more cultivators emerged from the tribulation clouds. The two of them were formed using the power of yin and yang.
Yin power moved to corrode Chen Feng's soul while yang power shone like a compact sun. With yin and yang acting in tandem, the power they exerted rose exponentially.
Impressive, even the power of yin and yang has come. Chen Feng laughed and he raised both his hand. Power surged forward and the cultivators formed from the power of water and ice were stopped.
Bang! Bang!
The other two cultivators, formed from the power of yin and yang, struck Chen Feng's body at the same time.
“Yin Yang acupoints! Absorb!”
Chen Feng's Yin Yang acupoints spun into action and the two powers invading Chen Feng's body were instantly absorbed.
Bang! Bang!
Next, Chen Feng employed the Great Longevity Palm to grasp with it, catching the yin power cultivator before swiftly crushing him into pieces. At the same time, though, the attacks from the other three cultivators landed upon Chen Feng's body.
Formidable streams of power roared as they charged into Chen Feng's body, desirous of blowing it up. However, the opened insight acupoints within Chen Feng's body absorbed them all instead.
Chen Feng's attacks grew increasingly ferocious and he swiftly finished off the remaining three cultivators. After the fight, Chen Feng did not reveal a trace of fatigue. On the contrary, his will to fight grew even stronger.
Boom!
This time, the tribulation clouds split into two sections as four cultivators appeared at the same time, a.s.suming a square-shaped array to surround Chen Feng.
Wind, lightning, water and fire. Four types of power have appeared at the same time. Not to mention, they are in a formation. Doesn't it mean that their offensive power will rise up several folds?
The wind and lightning cultivators were the fastest. As for the water and fire cultivators, they supported one another to surround Chen Feng.
“Longevity Sword Technique!”
Chen Feng swung. The Longevity Sword Technique was displayed and sword light flashed out as Chen Feng fought the cultivators.
This battle lasted for one whole hour. One by one, Chen Feng killed off the four cultivators. Due to that, the square-shaped array that they formed dissipated away.
“Any more?”
Boom!
Five cultivators appeared at the same time. Formed from the power of metal, wood, water, fire and earth respectively, they instantly formed the Five Elemental Array, exerting an atmosphere of pressure down on Chen Feng.
There are five cultivators here now. Just what kind of Heavenly Tribulation is this? Why is it so messy? Chen Feng found it amusing. Thankfully, the one facing this tribulation was him. Any other cultivator with a less formidable fleshly body would have ended up in a fl.u.s.tered state when faced with all those attacks, only to be killed in the end.
Astral blades, sword beams, fist and palm attacks, strong swirling winds and roaring sounds filled the battle. This time, Chen Feng used up to two hours to finish off the five cultivators. During the battle, Chen Feng had utilized the Longevity Chains to disrupt their formation in order to successfully defeat them all in one fell swoop.
Boom!
Eight cultivators appeared, formed from the power of Heaven, Earth, mountains, lakes, wind, lightning, water and fire respectively. They formed an even stronger Eight Trigrams Domain Array. The instant they appeared, Chen Feng felt a mountainous pressure bearing down on him. Every muscle on his body reflexively twitched and his heart thumped vigorously, like a great perpetual motion machine. Next, his power began rising.
Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou!
The eight cultivators shifted their positions slightly and Chen Feng felt the pressure bearing down on him doubling in power. Due to that, Chen Feng staggered slightly, giving the cultivators a chance. A palm of wind and lightning struck Chen Feng's body to leave a black palm print on Chen Feng's chest.
Pa!
A whip of water and fire also left a b.l.o.o.d.y wound on Chen Feng's back.
Next up, the eight cultivators kept shifting their positions as they continued surrounding Chen Feng. Their frequency of attacks was so high that Chen Feng felt somewhat fl.u.s.tered.
After I finish off these eight fellows, will nine fellows appear? Chen Feng wondered.
Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!
Energy began spreading out from Chen Feng's back and the semi-transparent silhouette of the Longevity Wings appeared. With a light flap of the wings, Chen Feng was able to evade the many attacks headed his way to arrive behind one of the cultivators. Next, his palm shot forward.
Boom!
Flames burst out as the cultivator formed from the power of fire was taken out.
With one of the cultivators down, the power of the Eight Trigrams Domain Array rapidly dropped, giving Chen Feng the opportunity to attack again and again, throwing the entire array into a greater state of chaos.
After spending another hour on the fight, Chen Feng was finally able to finish off all the cultivators.
As Chen Feng was pondering how many cultivators would appear next, the tribulation clouds disappeared and an ocean-like amount of immortal energy and laws from the Immortal Plane descended upon him.
The tribulation was a success and Chen Feng had advanced to become a mid-level Human Immortal.
Although the commotion caused by the tribulation was great, this was a desolate planet with no other life forms. As Chen Feng was the only one there, he could peacefully cultivate himself there.
After concluding the Heavenly Tribulation, Chen Feng cultivated for one month before ending his cultivation session.
Truth be told, Chen Feng hadn't planned on stopping. He had been completely immersed in a state of cultivation, forgetting all about the pa.s.sage of time.
However, the planet finally broke apart. Having no other options, Chen Feng then began flying through s.p.a.ce once more.
It's just a dead planet with nothing. Shaking his head, Chen Feng then left, roaming through the universe for another three months. To Chen Feng's surprise, he did not encounter any dangers.
In the end, Chen Feng finally felt that he had explored enough of s.p.a.ce. There was nothing good in the vicinity. However, Chen Feng had a feeling that going farther up ahead was unsafe, even with the protection of Immortal artefacts. At any rate, he was still not strong enough.
I am now a mid-level Human Immortal. Additionally, I have also refined the Heart of Seven Apertures. Compared to those on the same cultivation level as me, I can already be considered as an expert amongst experts. Not even those from the various Celestial Planes would be a match for me.
Sigh!
Having thought of that, Chen Feng sighed. A million plus years had pa.s.sed. Who knows what had happened to the Celestial Longevity Plane?
One day, I will return. In fact, I believe it will not be long before I do. Chen Feng cheered himself up. Although he could already return to the Celestial Longevity Plane now, he was still not strong enough. There was a need to cultivate himself more and grow even stronger.
I have been exploring s.p.a.ce for a long time now. It is time I return to Eternal World. I will wait until my cultivation base has improved again before exploring s.p.a.ce once more.
“Tower, it's time we head back. Open up a spatial pa.s.sageway.”
Boom!
A spatial pa.s.sageway was swiftly opened up and Chen Feng took one step into it. Next, his figure jumped through the void to emerge in Eternal World.
