270: Chapter 269 Seven Luminaries' Sneak Attack: Despicable and Shameless

The Sea of Lightning churned, thunder roared and lightning flashed, as if the entire world were left with only purple and black.

Lin Feng appeared to be leisurely bathing and scrubbing his back, but in reality, his Divine Sense, relying on the System's scanning function, had already covered a radius of a hundred miles without any blind spots.

At such a life-and-death moment, how could he possibly be as relaxed and unguarded as he appeared on the surface?

Especially with Immortal King Seven Luminaries, who hated him to the bone and had long wanted him dead, still lurking nearby.

According to the usual nature of villains, if this old dog didn't pull some dirty tricks, it would be a cold day in hell.

[Warning! Warning! High-energy, insidious object detected approaching at high speed! Direction: Directly behind! Distance: 300 meters... 100 meters...]

The System's red alert blared harshly in his mind.

"It's here!"

The moment that [Nine Nether Soul-Extinguishing Nail] was about to pierce into the core of the Sea of Lightning, a cold, bone-chilling smile—one he had long anticipated—curved onto Lin Feng's lips.

"Old thing, you really couldn't help yourself. Using such despicable methods, are you even worthy of being called an Immortal King?"

The Soul-Extinguishing Nail was extremely stealthy and came with its own concealment Formation, but under the System's radar, it was as conspicuous as a searchlight in the dark of night.

More importantly, it had a wisp of Immortal King Seven Luminaries' Divided Soul attached to it for control; not only could it break through defenses, it could also trigger the Lightning Tribulation's aggro.

If Lin Feng had truly been caught off guard and struck, even if his Physical Body didn't perish, his Primordial Spirit would have suffered heavy damage, and then he would have been reduced to ashes under the Lightning Tribulation's crazed backlash.

This move was truly vicious to the extreme.

Unfortunately, he was facing a cheater.

"System, lock onto that nail! Calculate its trajectory!"

[Ding! Target locked: Nine Nether Soul-Extinguishing Nail (with Peak Golden Immortal Divided Soul). Trajectory prediction complete, optimal interception point marked.]

"Very good. Since you've delivered yourself to my doorstep, don't even think about leaving!"

Just as the Soul-Extinguishing Nail was less than three feet from the back of Lin Feng's head, and that cold chill was already stinging his scalp.

Lin Feng whirled around!

Not only did he not dodge, he let out a shout, his right hand instantly transforming into a hand of pure purple-gold lightning. At that critical moment, he accurately—grabbed the rapidly flying nail!

"Bang!"

The tremendous kinetic energy exploded against his palm, yet he didn't budge an inch.

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—!"

The Soul-Extinguishing Nail struggled frantically in his hand, releasing terrifying curse power and the wails of vengeful spirits, trying to corrode his palm.

But Lin Feng's palm was already a [Thunder Tyrant Body], wreathed in golden light, supreme in its Yang and hardness, impervious to all techniques, and he crushed those insidious curse powers into nothingness!

"Caught you!"

Lin Feng sneered at the Void Realm, his eyes like lightning, peering through that wisp of Divided Soul to directly lock eyes with Immortal King Seven Luminaries' main body across space.

"Trying to ambush me? I've received this generous gift. But it is impolite not to reciprocate..."

"Since you've come, you might as well stay!"

Inside Qiyao Immortal Palace, Immortal King Seven Luminaries, who had been waiting to see Lin Feng's head blossom, suddenly changed complexion, an extremely ominous premonition rising in his heart.

"Oh no! I've been discovered!"

He just wanted to cut off the Divine Thought connection with that wisp of Divided Soul to sacrifice the pawn and save the rook.

But how could Lin Feng possibly give him that chance?

"Lightning, come!"

Lin Feng held the Soul-Extinguishing Nail high, as if holding a lightning rod, and roared at the thundercloud in the sky, which had become even more violent due to the intrusion of foreign aura.

"Rumble—!!!"

The Heavenly Dao was enraged!

The Lightning Tribulation, already on the verge of going berserk, sensed a powerful aura that did not belong to the person Undergoing Tribulation (the Seven Luminaries Divided Soul on the Soul-Extinguishing Nail) and instantly fell into a frenzy!

This was seen as a grave provocation against the rules of the Heavenly Tribulation!

The originally purple-black lightning instantly changed color, and a ghastly white hue emerged at its core—that was the legendary [Chaos Divine Lightning] capable of melting all things and erasing Karma!

"Using borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha, here is a big one for you! Old dog Seven Luminaries, catch this!"

Lin Feng fiercely threw the Soul-Extinguishing Nail in his hand, along with the Seven Luminaries Divided Soul that he had tightly imprisoned upon it, with all his might toward the core of the thundercloud that was brewing its strongest strike!

Whoosh—!

The Soul-Extinguishing Nail turned into a meteor, defying the flow and shooting upwards!

"No—!!!"

Inside Qiyao Immortal Palace, Immortal King Seven Luminaries let out a miserable shriek, his eyes filled with despair.

That wisp of Divided Soul was connected to his Origin, and the distance was too close; once locked onto by the Chaos Divine Lightning, the blow would travel along the line of Karma and strike his main body with devastating force!

But it was all too late.

"Boom!"

The instant the Soul-Extinguishing Nail flew into the thundercloud, it was like throwing a lit match into a powder keg filled with explosives.

Heaven and Earth fell silent.

A bolt of lightning, ten thousand feet wide and ghastly white enough to make one's heart palpitate, did not strike at Lin Feng; instead, defying the laws of physics, it took a turn and, following the line of Karma, ruthlessly struck the Soul-Extinguishing Nail, instantly extending toward the distant Qiyao Immortal Palace!

"Ah!!!"

Inside Qiyao Immortal Palace, Immortal King Seven Luminaries felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his entire being seemingly crushed by an invisible giant hammer.

His protective immortal light shattered instantly, and he was blasted away, crashing heavily into the coiled-dragon pillar of the great hall, smashing that ten-thousand-year-old divine iron pillar to pieces!

"Puff—"

He spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of his internal organs, and white lightning light emerged from his seven orifices—a sign that his Divine Soul was being scorched.

His Divine Soul felt as if it were being torn apart, the pain excruciating, and his originally stable Immortal King Realm showed cracks from this heavy blow, his cultivation instantly plummeting by a large margin!

Meanwhile, at the center of the Lightning Tribulation.

That precious Nine Nether Soul-Extinguishing Nail was directly vaporized, not even leaving any residue.

"Awesome!"

Lin Feng looked at the thundercloud in the sky, which had slightly weakened after "venting" a wave, and at the distant Qiyao Immortal Palace, which could be seen smoking even from so far away, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This move of borrowing a knife to kill, not only perfectly resolved a fatal crisis but also severely injured his great enemy, Seven Luminaries; it was truly killing two birds with one stone, simply wonderful!

"Now, the annoying fly has been taken care of."

Lin Feng restrained his smile, his eyes burning as he looked at the tribulation clouds in the sky that were slowly dissipating, seemingly exhausted.

The final hurdle had been passed, and his Physical Body had completed its baptism.

Now, it was time to reap the rewards.

He sat cross-legged in the Void Realm, his hands forming an ancient and mysterious Dharma seal, and the essence, Qi, and spirit within his body began to condense at an unprecedented speed, gathering toward his Purple Mansion at the center of his brow.

"Three Flowers Gather at the Crown, Five Qis Return to the Origin!"

"Grand Unity Golden Immortal, form for me—now!"
