Urban All-Round Master

Though the Heavenly Thunder within the Heavenly Slaying Five Thunder Formation is terrifying, Lin Zifeng does not believe it can be compared to the Heavenly Thunder encountered during a saint’s tribulation crossing. Mortal power cannot comprehend the Heavenly Dao.

Regarding Lin Zifeng’s intention to extract the Myriad Tribulations Thunder Shadow Stone, part of the reason is his apprehension of the power of the Five Supreme Venerables within the Beiyao Ancient Clan, and the three mystifying Venerable Lords who surpass them. If the legends are true, the opponents could obliterate him with just a thought.

Once again, Lin Zifeng feels his own insignificance. The Saint Realm might seem invincible to others, standing above the mundane world, but upon entering this Third Parallel Universe, Lin Zifeng increasingly feels as insignificant as an ant.

”Dongka, don’t worry; since I dare to break into the formation, I’m confident I can escape unscathed. Step back a bit, as the residual force of the Heavenly Thunder is quite formidable.”

After advising Dongka beside him, Lin Zifeng’s sharp-featured face returns to a grave expression. He closes his eyes to focus, suppresses the excitement in his heart, and steadies his breathing.

The sound of Dongka’s retreating footsteps reaches Lin Zifeng’s ears, allowing him to relax. Suddenly, he opens his eyes, and within his star-like gaze, only the shimmering, soul-entrancing Myriad Tribulations Thunder Shadow Stone remains!

”Swish...”

A crackling sound echoes, and a flicker of shock crosses the worried face of Dongka standing afar. Right in front of his eyes, Lin Zifeng’s figure suddenly vanishes!

Such speed! Lin Zifeng, he can actually shatter the void! Running so swiftly with a mortal body, he can distort the air into cracks—such speed, Dongka concedes, is beyond what he can achieve, even as an early-stage saint!

Just what other hidden secrets does Lin Zifeng possess...

A shadow flits within the Heavenly Slaying Five Thunder Formation, as rolling thunder curtains reflect on Lin Zifeng’s tense face. The entire wasteland is illuminated by the rampant, raging, blue lightning, as bright as daylight.

Outside the formation, Dongka knows he cannot stay idle. Such rampant thunderbolt aura, if unleashed, would be definitely sensed by the Five Supreme Venerables in seclusion. In urgency, he pushes his surrounding white elemental power to the limit, creating a white ripple at least twenty meters in radius that encompasses everything around the center of the Heavenly Slaying Five Thunder Formation.

Streams of blue thunderbolt surge from the formation, striking Dongka’s elemental power shield. His eyes widen, and a blood arrow spurts from his mouth.

”Puh...”

Despite being residual power of the Heavenly Thunder, Dongka in the Saint Realm can’t withstand it. Ripples form on the surface, and Dongka grits his teeth, kneeling on one knee to maintain the shield without allowing even a hair’s breadth to escape.

”Quick, Lin Zifeng!” Amidst the roaring, there are spurts of fresh blood. Moreover, Dongka’s face is ghostly pale, and his kneeling figure is quivering fiercely.

Using elemental power to block the residual force of the Heavenly Thunder results in backlash for Dongka, the formation caster. If he persists, he will undoubtedly be torn to shreds by the rampant, raging residual force!

Fortunately, Lin Zifeng moves swiftly, his star-like eyes are now filled with thunder curtains, and everything around seems ethereal.

Only the persistent rumble of thunder reminds him that this place is not suitable for a prolonged stay!

His figure moves like the wind; as Lin Zifeng flickers and shifts, the air illuminated by lightning turns into ripples. Dongka, watching from afar, finds everything becoming surreal.

Gazing at the Myriad Tribulations Thunder Shadow Stone positioned in the center of the formation, within his reach, Lin Zifeng, even amid crisis, can’t suppress the wild joy within him!

The Myriad Tribulations Thunder Shadow Stone! An existence comparable to a divine artifact, containing immensely thick thunderbolt attributes and an effect almost immune to lightning. With it, should he ever transform in the future, the Tribulation Lightning would be child’s play!

With a sudden grasp, feeling the cool, smooth touch in his hand, Lin Zifeng truly feels like shouting in joy, but the Magic Bracelet surging from his chest reminds him the crisis is not over!

Since entering the Heavenly Slaying Five Thunder Formation, the Magic Bracelet in his chest has been signalling danger constantly. Fortunately, Lin Zifeng’s speed is at its peak, allowing him to dodge the Heavenly Thunder.

And at this moment, the intensity of the danger signal from the Magic Bracelet makes Lin Zifeng feel as though the Death God is right behind him, with its soul-reaping scythe raised!

”Boom!”

Without time to think, Lin Zifeng clutches the Myriad Tribulations Thunder Shadow Stone to his chest, and leaps swiftly out of the formation. The sight in the air changes Dongka’s face into one of ash-like despair.

With the removal of the formation’s core, the most powerful Heavenly Thunder of the Heavenly Slaying Five Thunder Formation will surge forth! And this thunderbolt is the blue-purple Tribulation Crossing Heavenly Thunder!

Though the thunderbolts erupting from the Heavenly Slaying Five Thunder Formation are terrifying, Dongka knows the power within is nowhere near that of the Tribulation Crossing Heavenly Thunder. Lin Zifeng has just risked everything to extract the Myriad Tribulations Thunder Shadow Stone, likely triggering an anomaly within the formation, causing the thunderbolt descending now to carry the might of the Tribulation Crossing Heavenly Thunder!

With the emergence of this thunderbolt, the thunderbolts radiating vibrant blue light lose their color, vanishing instantly, and everything around returns to the silence of dark stillness, except for Lin Zifeng, with one foot already stepping out of the formation, his robe tinged with the alluring purple light.

”Come out quickly!”

Dongka’s heart has reached the utmost urgency; the Tribulation Crossing Heavenly Thunder, even if Lin Zifeng possesses tremendous skill, without preparation, being struck directly would leave no remains!

And all of this transpires in merely a single breath. Before Dongka finishes speaking, the Tribulation Crossing Heavenly Thunder is within half a meter of the astonished Lin Zifeng, its destructive might scorching Lin Zifeng’s hair to ashes!

Staring at the approaching Tribulation Crossing Heavenly Thunder, Lin Zifeng is overwhelmed with fear. He never expected that recklessly extracting the Myriad Tribulations Thunder Shadow Stone could trigger a formation anomaly, summoning the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder usually only faced during a tribulation crossing.

In that brief instant, Lin Zifeng forgets to flee, forgets to resist, merely watching helplessly as the blue-purple Heavenly Thunder draws ever nearer to his sight.

Yet, within his heart arises a silent thought: is he destined to die under this Heavenly Thunder?

Uncontrollably, Lin Zifeng slowly closes his eyes. He understands that even if he escapes the formation, with the Tribulation Crossing Heavenly Thunder locking onto him, he cannot avoid it.

How laughable that his life ends up being struck by someone else’s formation-created Heavenly Tribulation Thunder. In the past, he didn’t dare imagine such a scenario—it’s truly pathetic. So pitiful it’s almost comical; should word spread, it would surely be the joke of the century...

Just as Lin Zifeng succumbs to despair, a faint smile of resolution creeps onto his mouth, he suddenly senses the air, pressured and fleeing from the Tribulation Crossing Heavenly Thunder around him, inexplicably halts, freezing in place.

”Buzz...”
