Demon Taming: Start by synthesizing a Lantern Ghost with Divine and Demonic Talents

Chapter 211: The Heavenly Tribulation Passes, Fortune Descends

This was just a small prelude. Next, thunder and fire raged in the sky, with clusters of lightning bombarding everything. Even if Li Chunfeng used all three flying swords at once, he might not be able to stop them all. Fortunately, after he merged with Randeng and Taiyi, he also had various supernatural powers at his disposal.

Moreover, he was protected by several magical treasures, and several balls of lightning and fire bombarded him. Although they made him dizzy, they were unable to break through for the time being.

"I've struck it lucky! The two tribulation clouds collided and actually merged, turning into the Thousand Thunder Fiery Cloud Tribulation!"

This has already exceeded the scope of the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.

When advancing to the fifth rank, one must undergo the Thousand Thunderfire Cloud Tribulation, which is considered one of the most powerful and vicious among the various heavenly tribulations.

"Damn it, if we have to withstand the thousand bolts of heavenly lightning in front of us, will we still have the strength to resist the Soul Burning Tribulation?"

"A thousand lightning tribulations, even if they bombard me one by one, it will take at least half a day. I've really gone too far this time, I don't know if I can withstand it!"

At this point, there's no other way to deal with it except to grit your teeth and persevere.

After eighty-one bolts of lightning struck in succession, the top of the giant cloud in the distance not only did not weaken, but instead became even thicker. From afar, this area of ​​sky and earth had already turned pitch black, like the bottom of a pot, with streaks of lightning and arcs of fire leaping and flashing incessantly within the clouds, and muffled rumbling sounds echoing for hundreds of miles.

Lin Shan and the others were already dumbfounded and withdrew from the tribulation clouds.

"Is there any way to survive such a heavenly tribulation?" Bian Tu exclaimed in astonishment.

Jing Min'er also said, "We are all at the Divine Embryo Realm. It is already extremely difficult to advance from the Divine Embryo Realm to the Yin God Realm. If we are subjected to such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation test, how can we possibly advance? Even if we can break through, let's wait until we return to the Earthly Realm."

"Huh, there's a powerful aura coming from over there, and that direction... is the Falling Dragon River."

Lin Shan suddenly sensed a powerful aura leaking from not far away. "Everyone be on guard. Be careful, someone might disturb the master after the tribulation."

In the far distance, three more people gathered. One of them, with fair skin and elephant markings, was Xiang Jiu, a powerful member of the Moonlight Elephant Clan. The other two were a naked man with a crimson-eyed serpent coiled around him, and a man with heterochromatic pupils, riding a giant toad. They were clearly powerful members of the Myriad Serpent Clan and the Toad Immortal Clan. The three clans had crossed countless mountains and forests and quietly met outside the Dragon Horn Tribe.

"I never imagined that such a small, desolate place would have such a prodigy who could trigger such a powerful tribulation. Could it be a sixth-order tribulation? Is this the confidence that this small tribe dares to treat our large tribe like monkeys? In your opinion, what order of tribulation is this?" The burly man from the Ten Thousand Serpent Clan had come with anger, but after seeing this cloud of tribulation, his anger dissipated by more than half.

"It's not a fifth-order heavenly tribulation. I've seen a fifth-order heavenly tribulation once, and the heavenly lightning that descended was the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation. The tribulation lightning here already contains streaks of gold, and its power is far more intense than the tribulation lightning for advancing to the fifth order." Xiang Jiu shook his head, denying it with great certainty.

"The power of this lightning tribulation is comparable to the sixth-order Spirit Race's transformation tribulation, but it doesn't quite seem like it. It should be a different kind of lightning tribulation, which I have never seen before." The Thousand Serpents Yellow Merchant stared at the layered clouds without blinking, his expression solemn, seemingly unable to make a judgment.

The hurricanes in the air are growing stronger, and the entire area within hundreds of miles of the Dragon Horn Mountain Range is filled with fierce winds. At the same time, the pressure from heaven and earth is extremely heavy. Weaker creatures cannot even stand firmly on flat ground.

As a result, the Spirit Race members watching from the outside could only retreat again and again.

The power of heavenly thunder was indeed extraordinary. Li Chunfeng brought his swordsmanship to its peak, using heavenly thunder to practice his swordsmanship, and made considerable progress in his swordsmanship.

In particular, the "Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Nourishing Mind Sword Technique" continuously absorbs thunderous energy to practice swordsmanship, and the progress of the second level of the sword technique is extremely fast.

Since his debut, he has rarely encountered a situation that requires him to give his all. The last time he fought so hard was when he battled a Tier 3 Abyss Behemoth.

Under the immense pressure of the heavenly tribulation, Li Chunfeng was forced to carefully plan and unleash the full potential of his swordsmanship.

Moreover, we cannot throw out all our methods at once; we must be prepared for a protracted struggle.

When the 299th bolt of heavenly lightning struck, Li Chunfeng's natal flying sword, Tiandu, was the first to give way. The sword spirit of the Void Sword Demon let out a mournful cry and could no longer control the sword light. The sword demon that filled the sky scattered into a mess.

Li Chunfeng timely retrieved the Tiandu Sword and nurtured it in his dantian.

[Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Nourishing Mind Sword Technique: Level 5, Second Stage (15%)]

Characteristics: Sword Heart Connects with Spirit, Sword Qi Protects the Body, Sword Qi Transforms into罡 (Gāng, a type of internal energy), Sword Fiend Transforms into Rainbow, Nurtures a Sword Soul! Cultivating the mind and forging a sword soul can nurture a Time-Bound Fiend Sword Soul!
[Sword Heart Spiritual Sword Control Technique: Profound Rank 9 (99%)]

Characteristic: The sword light splits, moving in and out of the azure sky.

[Xiaodutian Divine Fiend Sword Formation: Profound Rank 9 (99%)]

Characteristics: Sword formation technique, used to trap and kill enemies.

In terms of swordsmanship, Li Chunfeng hadn't devoted much effort since arriving in the Spirit Realm, yet his sword aptitude had already reached the Heavenly Spiritual Root level. The effects were evident almost imperceptibly; his improvement in a short period was already a hundred times greater than countless previous efforts.

Even the 'Sword Heart Spiritual Sword Control Technique' has reached the critical point of the 9th level of the Profound Rank. It is just one step away from fully comprehending the advanced sword control technique 'Sword Light Differentiation'.

Swordsmanship is also one of the great paths. In the Earthly Realm, the art of sword control has long been developed to its peak by countless sword cultivators.

Starting from the initial divine soul sword control 'Soaring through the air', one can travel thousands of miles with a clear sword mind, enter and exit the azure sky, differentiate sword light, refine sword into threads, achieve oneness with the sword, entrust the primordial spirit, and break through all laws with a single sword.

The 'Sword Light Differentiation' realm is already the critical point for advanced sword control techniques.

Li Chunfeng's current understanding of the "Sword Light Differentiation" technique is only at a basic level; he can only differentiate a few hundred sword lights, far inferior to Shen Que, who can transform one sword into tens of millions of swords.

Even so, if one can break through the limit of the Profound Rank of Sword Control Technique under this tribulation of lightning...

It will also be of great help in dealing with the lightning tribulation.

The power of the Thousand Thunder Tribulation increases by one level for every hundred thunderbolts.

After another hundred lightning bolts, the power of the heavenly tribulation had reached a point where even ordinary fourth-tier warriors could not withstand it. This time, even the fifth-tier Azure Star River Sword could not withstand it.

The spirit of the Azure Star River Sword has already recognized its master, and with Li Chunfeng's help, it is refining the Earthly Fiend Restrictions within the sword's body with great efficiency.

Unfortunately, the time was too short.

He had only refined half of the restrictions and was not yet able to unleash the full power of the sword.

He immediately switched sword techniques and stored the Azure Star River Sword in his dantian for nurturing.

Fortunately, the seventh-tier flying sword 'Purple Cloud Calamity Sword' remained sturdy, but it was not Li Chunfeng's natal flying sword after all. Even though the sword token within the sword was ordered to fully support him, he still found it very difficult to wield it with his Yin God Realm cultivation.

The costs were so high that it was already a case of more harm than good.

Li Chunfeng then consumed the first Deer Spirit Purple Gold Pill and began refining it.

His soul power, dantian essence, and qi and blood were instantly replenished, and the feeling of expansion almost made Li groan out loud.

"Truly a life-saving elixir!"

"The Lu family truly lives up to its reputation as a prominent family. I'll have plenty of opportunities to get to know my brother-in-law better in the future."

He glanced at the tattered jade disc briefly. [Azure Star River Sword Technique: Divine-level sword technique, Level 1 (99%) / Level 72]

Characteristics: Star River Sword Technique, Wuwei Sword Technique, nurtures sword varieties, condenses sword energy.

A unique starlight sword has quietly taken shape, shining brightly in the small interior space.

The first level of the sword technique has finally been completed, and he can break through to the second level at any time.

But now is not the time.

Li Chunfeng was multitasking, simultaneously wielding the Purple Cloud Tribulation Sword, splitting it into streaks of sword light to shatter the tribulation lightning, and at the same time, teleporting the sword seed from his inner brow to his golden core.

His method of cultivating Qi is the "Nine Revolutions Chaotic Intent Sword Body Technique," which is in harmony with the way of the sword.

When this Star River Sword Seed falls into the Golden Core, it will only nourish and enhance each other, without any rejection.

The Divine Sword Technique is not only a means of protecting oneself, but also an important way to hone one's cultivation.

Since then.

With the help of the One Method and Two Divine Powers, Li Chunfeng's swordsmanship also formed its own system.

After surviving another hundred lightning strikes, he has now passed four hundred and ninety-nine lightning strikes.

It was already pitch black.

Within a radius of two hundred miles, it was pitch black, with only streaks of lightning raging.

This is the five hundredth question.

Thunder rumbled in the sky, followed by a sudden burst of azure-gold lightning. Amidst churning dark clouds, arcs of electricity fell one after another from the sky. At first, they were just a few, but in the blink of an eye, they became dense and numerous, pouring down like a torrential downpour.

The bluish-gold arcs of electricity struck the mountaintop and exploded, transforming into dazzling bursts of lightning.

Li Chunfeng also noticed something unusual at this time.

This violent lightning tribulation has been bombarding the area for most of the day. If it were any other mountain, it would probably have been easily sheared away by now.

However, at Dragon Head Mountain, the source of the Dragon Horn Mountain Range where he was located, the soil was blown away, revealing a deep layer of black stone, which was then blasted into an even more compact state.

The black stone was actually absorbing the scattered lightning bolts and spontaneously guiding them into the mountain.

What he didn't notice was that these arcs of electricity were eventually guided in two different directions.

One is the location of the altar, and the other is the "Fairy Cave" blessed land halfway up the mountain.

"Fairy Cave" was a name given to it by Li himself.

The six hundredth strike. The heavenly lightning suddenly transformed into terrifying thunder beasts: Thunderous Steed, Thunderous Giant Eagle, Thunder-Horned Lightning Hound, Thunder-Scaled Giant Lizard, Thunderflame Mad Elephant, Lightning Flying Tiger, Thunder Serpent, Thunder Leopard, Thunder Cloud Giant Ape, and others, all of which violently charged towards Li Chunfeng.

Li Chunfeng knew that this was the limit of his swordsmanship.

At this moment, his sword heart was clearer and more ethereal than ever before, and even the falling tribulation lightning seemed to slow down in his eyes.

A flood of insights welled up in my heart.

The Purple Cloud Calamity Sword remained extremely sharp. Li Chunfeng mustered all his strength and soared into the sky on his sword.

"Yin——"

A sudden sword cry rang out, so loud that even the rumbling thunder could not drown it out.

The Purple Cloud Calamity Sword burst forth with silver light, transforming into countless sharp sword beams that pierced through the air and disappeared into the thunderclouds.

Each sword light was incredibly agile, like swimming fish, crisscrossing back and forth, its sharpness piercing through bolts of lightning.

Li Chunfeng imbued the sword light with his divine senses.

Each sword beam seemed to possess a spirit, transforming into a living being, deftly slicing and cutting through the thunder beasts. His control was exquisite, his sword strikes as dense as the stars. As time passed, his sword beams became increasingly agile, like swordfish, twisting their bodies and swimming swiftly, their trajectories unpredictable.

Under immense pressure, Li Chunfeng's 'Sword Heart Spirit Communication and Sword Control Technique' finally reached perfection.

At this moment, the 'sword light splits' and 'divination of the mind' were no longer secrets to him.

[Xiaodutian Divine Fiend Sword Formation]!
Yinyin—

The sound of swords clashing rang out loudly.

The countless sword lights eventually converged into one place, forming twelve even more fierce sword beams.

It divided and guided countless thunder beasts. The 'Minor Heavenly Divine Fiend Sword Formation' under the Sword Light Differentiation Realm was more than ten times more powerful than before. Each sword fiend had condensed into a human form, like a giant of divine fiends, wielding the sharpest sword. The sharp force pierced the void, emitting a dense burst of sound that made people's scalps tingle.

Sword repair.

With a sword in hand, what is there to fear in the world!
"Is this the power of sword cultivators?"

With this breakthrough, Li Chunfeng also managed to withstand one hundred bolts of heavenly lightning.

The seven hundredth bolt of heavenly lightning had completely transformed into gold and silver.

The majestic power of Heaven was drawn forth with a sword.

This scene secretly alarmed the powerful figures of the three races who were watching the heavenly tribulation from afar, as well as a gaze from the Falling Dragon River.

"Could it really be some kind of great calamity that has never been seen before?"

The tribulation clouds in the sky changed dramatically, suddenly splitting off a section that crashed down. This thundercloud was actually formed by dozens of clusters of lightning and fire gathered together, its power unprecedented.

boom! boom! boom!
The Purple Cloud Calamity Sword was instantly blasted off the clouds, and countless sword lights scattered in all directions.

It wasn't that the sword was powerless to withstand the attack, but rather that Li Chunfeng was unable to summon any more powerful energy.

The remaining lightning bolts crashed down on Li Chunfeng's head.

A silver battle intent emanated from his body, and a third-level divine power mental shield was erected around him.

Despite the raging thunder and the ripples spreading across the ground, it could not break through the shield.

"hold head high--"

A dragon's roar shook the heavens, and Li Chunfeng opened his mouth and inhaled, and a huge azure dragon's head appeared in the sky, swallowing the remaining tribulation lightning into its belly.

A phantom of a true dragon appeared, and a dragon's roar came from the lightning. Then, an array plate was raised and grew larger and larger into the sky, covering a radius of several miles.

Countless array symbols flew out from within, swirling and obscuring most of the sky.

Li Chunfeng summoned the Innate Array Plate, from which hundreds of high-grade source stones flew out and landed in various positions. Millions of Black Lotus Divine Soul Thoughts also flew out and entered the array plate, evolving into a sixth-order grand array inscribed within it: the 'Starry Sky Guardian Array'!

With a thought, the formation was completed in the blink of an eye.

Beneath the dark sky, as if the stars were laid out beneath the celestial dome, countless stars were precisely positioned, forming shimmering chains of light. The heavens served as the chessboard, and the stars as the pieces; the grand celestial array manipulated the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, as if the starry sky were protecting against the impact of a meteor shower.

The heavenly tribulation, as fierce as a furnace, appeared somewhat weak under the protection of the starry sky array.

Li Chunfeng breathed a sigh of relief, and even had time to summon a few scattered lightning bolts to help temper his physical body and cleanse his golden core essence.

However, the golden and silver arcs of electricity falling from the sky seemed endless.

Fortunately, Li Chunfeng hadn't used up all his high-grade source stones, otherwise the formation wouldn't even be able to operate right now.

However, this array also consumes an enormous amount of spiritual energy, and Li Chunfeng has already swallowed the second Deer Spirit Purple Gold Pill.

After the eight hundredth bolt of heavenly lightning, the golden and silver tribulation lightning not only showed no signs of stopping, but instead became even thicker and more astonishing.

The golden arc of electricity intensified while the silver arc diminished, and it had gradually grown from the thickness of an arm to the size of a bucket.

At this moment, Li Chunfeng's expression also became extremely solemn.

The array above seemed to have exceeded its limit in withstanding the lightning tribulation, and the consumption of source stones and soul power was clearly increasing.

The three members of the three clans, Xiang Jiu, Huang Shang, and the others, looked at each other in dismay. Wan She's Serpent Yuan murmured, "This is definitely not an ordinary Heavenly Tribulation. Even a sixth-order Heavenly Tribulation cannot compare! This clan actually has such a foundation. We may have to change our plans."

"Brother Snake, you're speaking too soon. Let's wait until he pulls through before we talk about it," Huang Shang said.

Xiang Jiu's expression turned grave. "I have a feeling this person will survive this ordeal. I just don't know if he will be weakened afterward."

The moment the mention of weakness was mentioned, the three of them immediately calmed down.

"Yes, such a terrifying tribulation, I don't believe he didn't pay a heavy price."

This is the nine hundredth time. Although the Innate Array Plate is buzzing, it ultimately lives up to its name as Innate.

"Hold on a little longer, the formation might break! Let's fight!"

Phantom clone!

Li Chunfeng made a decisive move, and clones emerged from his body, rushing into the void to actively seek out the tribulation lightning that had turned into pure gold.

The clone opened its mouth and spat out a series of Taiyi Divine Thunderbolts.

Since Taiyi's bloodline was enhanced and he obtained the 'Taiyi Divine Thunder' inheritance, Li Chunfeng has not yet tested it.

Unexpectedly, this mistake turned out to be a blessing in disguise. The azure divine lightning that struck seemed to have little power, but as soon as it came into contact with the golden lightning arc in the sky, it melted away a small portion of the tribulation lightning, much like water melting snow.

The Taiyi Divine Thunder was like a deity descending to earth, truly wondrous and miraculous.

"Oh dear! How could I have forgotten that there are also principles of mutual generation and restraint among thunder magic? Taiyi Divine Thunder holds a revered position in Taoism. It is related to the legendary Taiyi Heavenly Venerable. Using divine thunder to counter the majesty of heaven and earth has actually yielded a positive result. I already have the most powerful tribulation-crossing divine power in hand, and I've been saving it for now?"

As a result, the clones appeared even faster.

The power of a phantom clone at the Earthly Fiend level is incomparable to that of a Heavenly Rank phantom clone.

Not only does the clone's strength increase to 40% of the original's level, but the original can also freely transfer between any clone and the clone.

The number of clones has soared to a staggering 10.8 million.

Moreover, the clones remain in the mortal world for a longer period of time, and may even exist for a very long time.

From one lamp, light is passed on to many, until all lamps are lit!
Between each clone, there was also an additional mental chain, just like when casting 'Beacon Fire and Wolf Smoke', preventing people from suffering a mental breakdown.

As more and more clones soared into the sky, the tribulation clouds finally began to shrink inward. He hoped that his Taiyi Thunder Strike could carve out a way out.

He had endured countless bolts of lightning, feeling as if the world around him was a furnace, and he was none other than the Great Sage Equaling Heaven who was refined into a monkey pill.

Suddenly, the world felt lighter, and no more tribulation lightning struck.

Li Chunfeng was utterly exhausted. He fell down, seemingly with no strength left in his hands and feet.

"You've survived the tribulation? You've finally succeeded!"

As the heavens showered down rain, Li Chunfeng sensed that both of his demonic pets were rapidly transforming.

A flood of insights welled up in my mind.

As the host, Li Chunfeng also benefited greatly.

At the same time, countless imperceptible rainbow lights fell on his head, bringing him good fortune!
