269: Chapter 268 Taking a Bath in the Lightning Tribulation

"Boom!!!" That purple-black Lightning Tribulation pillar, capable of instantly vaporizing a mountain range, was precisely and unbelievably blasted into Lin Feng's mouth... No, to be precise, it was blasted into his body, directly into the Myriad Dao Furnace that was already operating to its limit!

In that instant, time seemed to stand still.

Lin Feng's entire body instantly turned a transparent deep purple.

This was an omen caused by the sheer magnitude of the lightning power, manifesting directly through his body. Countless tiny arcs of electricity danced wildly across his skin, emitting terrifying "sizzling" sounds. His bones, Meridians, and flesh instantly turned charred black under the ravages of the lightning, his skin cracking as if he had become a piece of dead wood about to crumble.

"Hahahaha! Arrogant and ignorant!"

Seeing this scene from afar, the Seven Luminaries Immortal King couldn't help but burst into laughter, his eyes filled with glee. "To dare to swallow lightning with your Physical Body? Even an ancient Divine Beast wouldn't dare to be so conceited! Lin Feng, you are committing suicide!"

He seemed to have already foreseen Lin Feng's fate of turning into ashes.

But the next moment, his laughter was cut short, as if choked off.

A golden light, brilliant to the extreme and filled with an aura of immortality, erupted violently from the depths of that seemingly charred body!

"Hum—"

Inside Lin Feng, the illusory Myriad Dao Furnace roared into operation, emitting a sound like the resonance of the Dao. The rampaging destructive lightning, the moment it touched this power from the furnace, was forcibly crushed, decomposed, and reorganized!

[Ding! High-purity destructive Lightning Law detected...]

[Myriad Dao Furnace Sutra operating at full power! Devour! Convert!]

[Physical Body repairing... Cellular activity increased by 1000%...]

"Hiccup~"

A loud, mocking burp, amplified by a Spell Lin Feng had intentionally cast, echoed clearly throughout the entire Lingxiao Heaven, ringing in the ears of every dumbfounded Immortal.

Following this burp, the layer of charred dead skin on Lin Feng fell off like snowflakes, revealing skin underneath that was even more translucent, as fair as a newborn baby's, yet as tough as a top-grade Immortal Artifact.

Only, beneath this skin, purple-gold lightning patterns faintly flowed, as if it were a naturally formed lightning battle armor.

Lin Feng stuck out his tongue and licked the residual electric arcs on his lips, smacked his lips, and commented with an unsatisfied expression: "The texture is a bit numb, like popping candy with premium rattan pepper added, and it feels a bit like strong liquor when it goes down the throat."

He looked up at the sky and shook his head in an extremely provocative manner: "The kick is strong enough, but the quantity is a bit small; it's not even enough to get between my teeth. Old man Heavenly Dao, did you not eat?"

The entire place fell into a dead silence.

The wind stopped, and the clouds stilled.

Every Immortal's jaw hit the ground hard, and their eyeballs shattered all over the floor.

That was the World-Destroying Lightning Tribulation! That was a great terror that killed on contact!

You actually used it as a snack?! And complained about the quantity?! And critiqued the texture?!

Is this even human? This is simply an ancient thunder beast in human skin! No, even an ancient thunder beast isn't this perverted!

"Come again! Give it to me harder!"

Lin Feng roared, pointing at the sky. At this very moment, every cell in his body was cheering, craving even more energy.

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

The Heavenly Dao seemed to have suffered the greatest humiliation since its birth.

The clouds contracted violently and then erupted instantly!

This time, it was no longer a single bolt of lightning, but a downpour of thunderbolts!

Thousands of purple-black lightning bolts were no longer simple pillars of light, but had transformed into the forms of ancient Divine Beasts like Dragon, Phoenix, Qilin, and Tiger. They were lifelike, each containing the Law of destruction, roaring as they rushed down, completely submerging the area where Lin Feng was, turning it into a churning, boiling ocean of lightning plasma!

This was not Undergoing Tribulation; this was clearly an attempt to erase that space directly from the map of the Immortal Realm!

However, Lin Feng, at the center of the lightning sea, was having a blast.

He was shirtless, revealing his toned and perfect muscular lines, and was... swimming in the lightning plasma that could instantly vaporize a Golden Immortal.

That's right, swimming!

He was dog-paddling, then backstroking in the sea of lightning, and even conjured up a lightning washcloth, humming a little tune as he scrubbed himself!

"Refreshing! This water temperature is just right, a constant one million degrees, and it can even remove dead skin!"

While swimming freely in the lightning sea, Lin Feng crazily operated the Myriad Dao Furnace Sutra. The huge, illusory furnace behind him had now completely materialized, its mouth wide open, devouring the surrounding Lightning Tribulation liquid crazily, like a whale sucking in water.

This Lightning Tribulation liquid was condensed from the purest power of destruction and rebirth in heaven and earth, and it had unimaginable benefits for tempering the Physical Body.

[Ding! Devoured World-Destroying Lightning Tribulation liquid! Physical Body strength +1%...+2%...+5%!]

[Ding! Eternal Undying Sutra is deeply integrating the Lightning Law... Obtained new trait: Thunder Tyrant Body (Immune to all lightning, command over thunder punishment)!]

The System notification sounds flooded the screen like a waterfall.

Lin Feng felt his bones undergoing reshaping, turning into a pure purple-gold, with natural lightning patterns inscribed on them; his blood contained destructive electric arcs, as if every drop of blood could level a mountain peak.

"This is not a Heavenly Tribulation, this is clearly a buffet! Is this the joy of cheating? I love it!"

Lin Feng laughed. He even felt that this Lightning Tribulation wasn't fierce enough, so he poked his head out of the lightning sea and shouted towards the direction of the Qiyao Immortal Palace: "Old dog Seven Luminaries! Did you see that clearly? This is a real bath! The hot spring in your Seven Luminaries Pool is incredibly weak! Do you want to come down and soak together? I'll scrub your back!"

The Seven Luminaries Immortal King stood in front of the Immortal Palace hall, trembling with rage, his fingernails digging deep into his palms, blood flowing out.

"This kid... must not be left alive! Must not be left alive!!"

Looking at Lin Feng, who was like a fish in water in the lightning sea, his aura not only not weakening but rising steadily, the fear in his heart surpassed his anger for the first time. If this kind of monster really succeeded in Undergoing Tribulation and became a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, who in the entire Immortal Realm could control him? By then, he would be the one to die!

"Since the Heavenly Tribulation can't kill you, then this King will give you a hand!"

A flash of extremely vicious light flickered in the Seven Luminaries Immortal King's eyes; it was a madness of desperation.

He knew that the greatest taboo during Undergoing Tribulation was outside interference. Once an outsider intervened, the Lightning Tribulation would consider it as someone helping to cheat, and its power would increase exponentially, perhaps even evolving into a "Heavenly Punishment" that would inevitably erase everything!

Although he couldn't enter with his real body (he would be struck to death too), he had other means.

The Seven Luminaries Immortal King took out a black jade box covered with Talismans from his bosom. After opening it, there was a jet-black, bone-piercing nail that emitted a nauseating stench. The body of the nail was engraved with curse runes, as if countless wronged souls were roaring.

This was the [Nine Nether Soul-Destroying Nail], a one-time super weapon made from the extreme Yin iron from the depths of the Nine Nethers, refined with ninety-nine thousand living souls. It was specifically designed to break the Divine Soul and was incredibly vicious.

"Go!"

The Seven Luminaries Immortal King bit the tip of his tongue, spat a mouthful of blood essence onto the Soul-Destroying Nail, and then separated a wisp of Divine Thought to attach to it.

Taking advantage of the cover of the sky full of lightning, he flicked his finger.

The Soul-Destroying Nail transformed into a shadowless, formless, ghostly light that was difficult even for Divine Sense to capture. It mixed into the violent lightning, like a venomous snake waiting for an opportunity, silently piercing towards the back of Lin Feng's head!
