Chapter 283: Enduring Nine Divine Lightning Strikes
Boom!
The third divine lightning took only half an hour to brew.
However, its power was twice as strong as the second divine lightning.
This was four times the power of the first divine lightning.
Yi Chen did not waste any time. The moment the third divine lightning appeared, he swung his sword repeatedly.
Wave after wave of Sword Energy surged forth, striking towards the divine lightning.
Puff! Puff! Puff…
The speed of the divine lightning was incredibly fast, but Yi Chen’s Sword Energy was just as swift as lightning.
Under the barrage of powerful Sword Energy attacks, the third divine lightning, which still had a diameter of only two or three meters but was continually doubling in intensity, suddenly collapsed after withstanding three strikes.
The fourth divine lightning began to brew.
Yi Chen, however, took it seriously. He immediately sat cross-legged, took out a spirit pill that could quickly restore his spirit power, and entered a meditative state.
According to the pattern of the previous three divine lightning strikes, the power of the fourth divine lightning might double again, reaching eight times the power of the first divine lightning.
He could still shatter the lightning with his Sword Energy after it fell.
But if he predicted correctly, there might be a total of nine divine lightning strikes.
If that were the case, the power of the ninth divine lightning would reach two hundred fifty-six times the power of the first divine lightning.
He needed to ensure that his spirit energy was abundant, staying in the strongest condition possible.
At the same time, amidst the rolling dark clouds, the special energy, formed by the combination of spirit energy and the power of the laws, poured into his body, continuing to transform him.
…
“I understand now what this dark cloud is about. It is a tribulation, and just like reaching the Peak of the Ninth Level of Spirit Consciousness needs to face the heart tribulation test to break through to Heart Tribulation Stage One.”
“Yi Chen is in the same situation; to break through to a new major realm, he must face a new tribulation.”
As time passed, some citizens of the Federation in the live room finally figured out what was happening.
“The scanner of the Large Battleship has not detected the presence of any mighty enemies. This dark cloud appeared extremely suddenly and strangely, and the lightning that struck down was not entirely aimed at killing Yi Chen.”
“Otherwise, it wouldn’t gradually increase in power but would have started with the strongest lightning attack.”
“It wouldn’t have used supreme means to help him transform his body after he withstood a lightning strike, even allowing his lifespan to soar dramatically.”
“From this reasoning, encountering a situation similar to a heart tribulation is indeed possible.”
“If that’s the case, it would be a monumental blessing.”
The citizens of the Federation became excited.
This meant that if one day they could reach Yi Chen’s current level, they too could experience a dramatic increase in lifespan and enhance their physical quality.
However, some couldn’t help but pour cold water on the enthusiasm: “Yi Chen is Yi Chen. He can withstand such terrifying lightning; can others do the same? At the same level, Yi Chen’s strength far exceeds that of others.”
“You are worrying needlessly. Don’t forget, when Yi Chen faced his heart tribulation, although we didn’t know the extent of it, his pale face and agonized expression showed that he faced a terrifying intensity.”
“Moreover, he had Bai Ruo Xin send word to all the top strong members of the tribe, advising them to not breakthrough after reaching the ninth level of Spirit Consciousness and to take a break for a few months for self-cultivation, fulfilling various wishes. This also proves that the heart tribulation he encountered was intense enough to leave even him fearful.”
“But what was the result? Although Yi Chen prepared Spirit-Focusing Pills in advance for the top geniuses of the tribe and personally protected them, even without the Spirit-Focusing Pill or Yi Chen’s personal protection, those top geniuses would still be able to withstand the heart tribulation.”
“The intensity of the heart tribulation is far less powerful than what Yi Chen faced. Our top geniuses from the human federation are the best proof.”
“Even if they face Yi Chen’s heart tribulation, and without the Spirit-Focusing Pill, they only need to offer a reasonable price for peace of mind to reduce Yi Chen’s power during the heart tribulation and they can successfully overcome it.”
“No matter how petty and selfish Yi Chen is, he will eventually be unable to endure the pressure and join us in the human federation, slowly achieving understanding.”
“At that time, when our citizens from the human federation face the heart tribulation or this new tribulation, the intensity will surely be the same as that of the Great Flame Kingdom’s citizens, and it certainly won’t increase the difficulty.”
“However, a decrease in intensity should also result in fewer benefits.”
With this explanation, those pessimistic citizens felt relieved.
…
Exile planet.
After sensing that the fourth divine lightning was about to form, Yi Chen immediately ended his training and prepared himself.
Boom!
As he expected, the power of the fourth divine lightning increased again, now twice that of the third divine lightning.
The moment the fourth divine lightning appeared, he swung his sword continuously.
Powerful attacks relentlessly weakened the power of the fourth divine lightning.
By the time the fourth divine lightning fell from the clouds a hundred kilometers away to just fifty kilometers above him, it was completely shattered by the waves of Sword Energy.
Half an hour later, the fifth divine lightning struck down.
This time, even with Yi Chen’s full strength, he could only destroy the fifth divine lightning when it was less than thirty kilometers from above his head.
When he finally shattered the sixth divine lightning, it was only two to three kilometers away from him.
Boom!
The seventh divine lightning fell with a thunderous crash.
As expected, its power doubled again compared to the sixth divine lightning, reaching sixty-four times the power of the first divine lightning.
Even with all his strength, Yi Chen could not break this divine lightning.
The remaining lightning struck the energy shield.
The energy shield remained motionless.
However, a small portion of Yi Chen’s spirit power was drawn from his Qi Sea.
This made Yi Chen secretly grateful that he had prepared and created the Shield of Protection.
Otherwise, the residual force of the seventh divine lightning would have at least injured him.
Facing the even stronger eighth divine lightning would be a near-death experience.
Not to mention the possibility of a ninth divine lightning.
He immediately focused all his energy on training, absorbing the special energy while quickly recovering his spirit power.
Half an hour later, the eighth divine lightning formed and struck down.
After being weakened by Yi Chen’s full-strength attack, it crashed into the energy shield.
Instantly, a third of his spirit power was drawn from his Qi Sea to fully counter the eighth divine lightning’s attack.
Yi Chen promptly and decisively popped a spirit pill into his mouth, trying to quickly restore his spirit power while he had half an hour left.
When the ninth divine lightning was about to be formed, with the help of the spirit pills, although he hadn’t fully restored all his spirit power, his Qi Sea’s reserves reached ninety percent.
Boom!
As Yi Chen had calculated, the ninth divine lightning struck the energy shield, draining eighty percent of the spirit power from his Qi Sea.
It still did not break his energy shield.
What relieved him even more was that the laws of heaven did not deliver a perfect ten.
There were only nine divine lightning strikes.
If another lightning strike had come, even though his body had undergone earth-shattering changes due to the nourishing and strengthening special energy, it would have definitely been shattered into pieces.
His only chance of survival would have been for his soul to escape his body.
The rolling dark clouds began to dissipate, with no divine lightning brewing.
Only torrents of special energy flowed into his body, continuously strengthening his Qi Sea, meridians, and body.
Without the threat of heavenly tribulation, he savored the experience, feeling incredible joy.
