216: Unexpected

Seeing this, Lin Feng's expression remained as calm as an ancient well.

The Fusion of the two tribulation clouds caused the might of Heaven to far exceed the scope of an ordinary Soul Transformation Heavenly Tribulation.

But he was well prepared.

"Rise!"

He let out a low shout, and the Yuanci Wuhe Mountain, suspended high in the sky, glowed brightly.

Five-colored Yuan Magnetic Divine Light flowed out, forming an incomparably thick light barrier that completely enveloped him and his Clone.

Boom!

The first bolt of Lightning Tribulation after the Fusion was no longer simply purple.

It was a terrifying lightning pillar, purple and gold intertwined, as thick as a mountain, carrying destructive power capable of leveling mountains and rivers, striking fiercely upon the five-colored light barrier.

The light barrier trembled violently, rippling in layers, but ultimately did not shatter.

The violent energy contained within the lightning pillar was continuously guided and dispersed by the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light, eventually dissipating into nothingness.

Lin Feng's eyes were calm; in the palm of his main body's left hand, the Advanced Spirit Descending Talisman's light flickered, while in the palm of his right hand, a dark black Asura Holy Fire burned silently.

He had made thorough preparations; once the Yuanci Wuhe Mountain could no longer hold on, he would immediately use all his trump cards.

However, what happened next made him frown slightly.

The second, the third, the fourth...

Nine successive purple-gold Divine Lightning bolts, each more violent than the last, each grander in momentum, yet when they struck the light barrier of the Yuanci Wuhe Mountain, aside from making the barrier tremble more intensely, they consistently failed to Breakthrough its defense.

The power of this Lightning Tribulation, though far beyond what a Nascent Soul Cultivator could imagine, seemed... not to have reached the world-destroying extent he had estimated.

When the ninth Divine Lightning dissipated, the tribulation clouds in the sky also began to slowly scatter, eventually transforming into extremely pure Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi that nourished down.

Lin Feng waved his hand to put away the Yuanci Wuhe Mountain, allowing the Spiritual Qi to bathe himself and his Clone, yet he felt no joy in his heart; instead, he was on high alert.

This Undergoing Tribulation was too easy.

It was unusually easy.

Something abnormal must be afoot.

He dared not hesitate, flipping his hand to take out a treasured pearl, completely wreathed in golden electrical arcs, which was precisely the specially refined Nine Heavens Thunder Pearl.

The treasured pearl hung above his head, casting down fine golden electrical threads that firmly protected him and his Clone.

After doing all this, he and his Clone sat down cross-legged, closed their eyes, and prepared to face the true test—the Heart Demon Tribulation.

Last time on Hongfu Peak, he destroyed a wisp of that Extra-territorial Demon's Divided Soul, and the opponent had already vowed to seek revenge during his Undergoing Tribulation.

With the pure Yang power of the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning, which specifically counters all evil and sinister beings, and the opponent having already witnessed the power of the Divine Lightning.

If that Extra-territorial Demon wanted revenge, it would certainly employ extraordinary means.

Within the Inner Universe, all was silent.

Lin Feng cleared his mind of distracting thoughts, his spiritual platform clear and bright, quietly awaiting the unknown enemy.

...

And beyond Lin Feng's perception, at the Chaos boundary of the Inner Universe, two indistinct demonic shadows stood side by side, looking down at the Small World below.

One of the demonic shadows had a twisted form and three eyes on its face; the vertical eye in the middle, as it opened and closed, revealed endless resentment and coldness.

"Hmph, it's this brat."

The Three-Eyed Demon's voice was filled with hatred.

"If not for him ruining my plans, that Nascent Soul female Cultivator's Physical Body would already be mine."

The other demonic shadow beside him had an even more bizarre form, like a constantly wriggling shadow, exuding a deeper, more ancient aura.

"To be able to create such a stable portable space, this brat indeed has some tricks. If this Realm wasn't a lost Realm abandoned by the Upper Realm, making Ascension impossible, perhaps this brat would really have a chance to Ascend to the Spirit Realm."

The Shadow Demon's voice was hoarse and grating, with a hint of playfulness.

"What a pity, encountering us, his dream of Soul Transformation should awaken."

The Three-Eyed Demon let out a series of cackling laughs.

"Exactly! I want his Divine Soul and this Small World! Hehehe..."

In their eyes, Lin Feng and his Clone below were no different from two lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

After all, the gap in their Realm was like a chasm, utterly insurmountable.

Even if Lin Feng's Divine Sense power was unrivaled in the Human Realm, it would be absolutely impossible for him to detect their presence in advance.

Below, Lin Feng, sitting cross-legged, suddenly felt his brow twitch.

Without any warning, the Nine Heavens Thunder Pearl above his head suddenly burst forth with dazzling golden light!

Swoosh!

Several thick Nine Heavens Divine Lightning bolts shot out of thin air, striking fiercely at the empty space to his left!

They're here!

Lin Feng's heart tightened, and he instantly activated the calming secret art he had prepared, simultaneously swallowing a calming Medicinal Pill he held in his mouth without hesitation.

As the medicinal power spread, a cool sensation rushed straight to his mind, making his consciousness even clearer.

But he waited for a moment, and apart from the sudden lightning strike just now, there was no other movement around him.

It felt as if a stone had been thrown into a lake, creating a ripple, and then falling silent.

Something's not right.

Lin Feng's unease grew stronger.

This didn't seem like the Extra-territorial Demon's method of revenge; it was more like... a test?

He dared not relax in the slightest, his Divine Sense highly concentrated, wary of any disturbance.

Time passed bit by bit, the atmosphere so oppressive it felt as if it would solidify.

Just as Lin Feng thought it was merely his own illusion.

Swoosh!

The Nine Heavens Thunder Pearl above his head once again burst forth without warning, and several more Divine Lightning bolts struck in the same direction!

Now!

Lin Feng's entire attention was instantly drawn to the exploding lightning.

And in that instant, a demonic shadow, deeper than darkness, which he had not detected at all, emerged from his right rear, like an invisible phantom, silently and stealthily drilling into his main body's Sea of Consciousness!

"Not good!"

The moment that extremely cold aura appeared in his Sea of Consciousness, Lin Feng's expression suddenly changed drastically.

Two!

There were actually two Extra-territorial Demons!

Feint!

The opponent's goal from the very beginning was to use one demon to attract the attention of the Nine Heavens Thunder Pearl, creating an opportunity for the other to sneak in!

At this moment, his Divine Soul had already been invaded by one demon, and it was too late to use other Magic Treasures or secret arts.

The Three-Eyed Demon, responsible for the feint, saw its companion succeed and let out a triumphant laugh, about to rush in as well.

But what it faced was Lin Feng's utterly cold face.

"Seeking death."

Lin Feng's eyes flashed with murderous intent, no longer hesitating in the slightest.

With a thought, he activated his final trump card.

"Explode!"

The myriad lightning threads entwined around the Nine Heavens Thunder Pearl, suspended high in the sky, instantly contracted inwards, and then... exploded with a roar!

Boom boom boom—!

An indescribable thunder roared throughout the entire Inner Universe!

It was an endless golden ocean composed of the purest Nine Heavens Divine Lightning!

The violent pure Yang lightning power transformed into monstrous waves, sweeping madly in all directions with Lin Feng as the center, instantly filling every inch of space within dozens of miles!
