The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 418 The Demigod Trilogy, Source of Divine Power [Part Two]

"Swish! Swish!"

After an unknown amount of time, a series of dreamlike and illusory ghostly figures of various shapes emerged from behind Feng Ling, startling Leng Ning Shuang out of her negative emotions.

"Is this also a reflection of all living beings?"

Leng Ning Shuang murmured absentmindedly.

Below in the dense forest, Bei Chen and the others stood atop ancient trees, gazing up at the scene with astonishment: "Old Ghost Ye, logically speaking, shouldn't the City Lord, having condensed the Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth, be following the three-step orthodox path? Why has he also condensed the Dharma Image of All Beings?"

"Ah this..."

Faced with the questions posed by Bei Chen and the others, the Night Ghost King was momentarily speechless. After a moment of contemplation, it suddenly slapped its head and exclaimed, "Oh dear, how could I forget that the old city lord took the reverse path and was only one step away from success! Therefore, as the successor, the city lord may seem to be taking the forward path, but in reality, he is standing on the shoulders of the old city lord, summarizing experience, embracing diversity, and forging a broad road that no one before him has ever trod!"

Everyone nodded, their expressions understanding.

Immediately, the Heavenly Demoness calmly said, "Watch closely, everyone. Each step of the Three Steps to Demigodhood is a sight to behold. Now that you have the chance to see the whole picture, you must seize the opportunity and gain something!"

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly craned their necks to watch.

"Buzz! Buzz!"

The sky trembled violently with a buzzing sound, and the enormous Dharma image of heaven and earth and the images of all living beings gradually overlapped and merged, eventually transforming into a complete new Dharma image body.

Within the new physical body, all the internal organs were complete, and fine blood vessels and tough bones and joints rapidly took shape, as miraculously as the birth of a newborn baby.

"Power of faith, gather it for me!"

As if sensing something in the darkness, Feng Ling let out a soft shout, and instantly, thousands of beams of faith power, as dazzling and pure as the light of dawn, rushed into Feng Ling's new Dharma body, surging and flowing.

After about a quarter of an hour, the power of faith underwent thousands of high-intensity filtrations and compressions within the blood vessels of the unknown Dharma body, finally condensing at the crown of the head into a golden energy ball radiating an aura of world-destroying destruction.

"It's divine power!" Upon seeing this, Night Demon King and the others trembled, their old faces filled with excitement.

They knew that Feng Ling had successfully condensed the source of divine power for the second step of demigodhood, and all that remained was the final step: using divine power to catalyze the purple-gold plum blossom mark to complete the ultimate transformation.

However, this final step is particularly time-consuming. Night Ghost King and others conservatively estimate that Feng Ling will need at least a year and a half to refine enough divine power to complete the mark transformation.

However, just as Feng Ling's Dharma form completely returned to his body, and everyone thought that all the storms were about to dissipate, another unexpected event occurred!

"Boom!!"

The space above the Nine Netherworld Purgatory shattered with a deafening roar, and then, bolts of violent, purplish-black lightning struck Feng Ling's body with devastating force. "Bang!" With a deafening explosion, Leng Ning Shuang suffered some internal injuries. The aftershocks of the lightning swept her violently to the ground, preventing her from approaching Feng Ling again.

The disaster is coming!

Thunder rumbled in the sky, and calamity clouds gathered, with a heavy and oppressive atmosphere constantly brewing.

"Mortal tribulations?"

Everyone was horrified. Upon closer inspection, they discovered that the source of this terrifying lightning was directly connected to the nine heavens above the Ghost City!

"Absolutely impossible!" Upon hearing this, the Night Ghost King categorically denied it, "The Nine-Turning Devouring Yuan Array itself has the ability to shield against the arrival of mortal tribulations. Moreover, we are currently in the Nine Nether Purgatory, with the Nine Infant Yuan Palace in between. It's almost as if there are three layers of spatial seals blocking our external perception. Mortal tribulations could never be sensed! And what could possibly sense and break through these three layers of spatial seals is probably the Heavenly Punishment brought by Feng Ling's inner demons!"

"Hiss! Heavenly Punishment?"

Everyone gasped in shock, staring in utter terror at the figure of the black-clad man whose black hair billowed wildly in the thunder and storm, whose bones and soul seemed to mourn and scream amidst the thunder.

Although, with their current knowledge, they may not be able to truly realize how terrifying the Heavenly Punishment is, the fact that the destruction of Ghost City was caused by a Heavenly Punishment—the descent of the Nine-Headed Serpent—is enough to indirectly demonstrate the ferocity of this Heart Demon Tribulation!

"boom!!"

A series of violent bolts of lightning, like darting electric snakes, coursed through Feng Ling's body, causing the demonic energy hidden within him to dissipate.

"Roar--!"

At the same time, Feng Ling's bones cracked and popped, and under the intense pain, he let out a roar like a wild beast.

Immediately, the Dharma body reappeared, taking the brunt of the lightning attack for Feng Ling. However, the Dharma body also trembled and wailed violently under the punishment of the inner demon tribulation.

"Pfft!" Night Ghost King and the others didn't even have the slightest thought of trying to stop the thunder from descending before they were severely injured and coughed up blood by the residual power of the thunder that splashed and scattered near the dense forest.

Even worse off were Ji Sheng and Xiang Qiubai, who were struggling to recover from their injuries by relying on the big tree, when they were struck unconscious by two bolts of lightning.

Every time a creature hatches, it's a new beginning...

The world is full of chaos and troubles; may the sages and saints offer you a pure land for your souls.
