2056 Vital essence of the Plane (1/2)

Xue Lin and Mengyao Xu's faces filled with worry when they saw Qingfeng Li get injured and his bones become exposed.

Mengyao Xu said, ”There's too many lightning streaks, I don't think Qingfeng Li can handle it.”

Xue Lin nodded her head in agreement. ”Let's go help him.”

Mengyao Xue shook her head. ”Don't go over there. We're just going to be a burden. Right now is a key moment to him leveling-up. He will only truly become of saint level once he survives the thunder lightning tribulation.”

Xue Lin nodded, she knew that Mengyao Xu was right, but her head was all over the place. They could only stand from afar as Qingfeng Li found himself surrounded by a thousand streaks of lightning.

Qingfeng Li's body was nearly cracked open by the lightning, but he was exhilarated.

He knew that when the lightning attacked him, some streaks entered his skin, muscles, and bones. They tempered his body and gave him more energy.

Qingfeng Li channeled the Mortal Purgatory Body to emit a streak of golden light. At the same time, he also employed the Heavenly Immortal Chant and Conqueror Spell – these were all saint and Immortal-level techniques, each more powerful than the last.

He used these techniques to absorb the thunder lightning tribulations from the sky, which were then exercised into his own body, making him stronger than he ever was.

Suddenly, Qingfeng Li thought of a good idea. He remembered that he still had the thunder pearl on him – there were a thousand streaks of lightning in the pearl as well, waiting to level up from the middle-grade.

He wondered if his own lightning would level up to high-grade, or in other words saint-level lightning, if they absorbed all the lightning in the sky. If so, he would be more than powerful enough to fight against saints.

Without another moment of hesitation, he whipped out the lightning pearl and employed the thunder chant. The thunder pearl began to slowly absorb the thunder lightning tribulation.

He was soon met with disappointment – small cracks formed on the thunder pearl as it smashed into the lightning; it seems that his pearl could not absorb these thunder lightning tribulations.

Suddenly, he understood why. His thunder pearl held middle-grade lightning, yet the thunder lightning tribulation he was faced with was that of saints – it was Heaven's thunder lightning tribulation.

Therefore, they wielded different powers, meaning that his thunder pearl wouldn't be able to withstand this enormous energy. Qingfeng Li's face twitched in pain as he put away his thunder pearl.

He knew that the pearl would not be able to absorb the lightning, so he needed another way.

Qingfeng Li continued to fight against the thunder lightning tribulations; his body was constantly injured, yet he circulated immortal techniques within to heal where he was hurt. His skin, muscles, bones, and even blood vessels received intense tempering.

Soon, Qingfeng Li felt a sense of power in his body. He felt like he was one with thunder and lightning and was powerful enough to suppress all of heaven and earth.

He knew that this was his body's way of building resilience, and he was now strong enough to fight against the thunder lightning tribulations in the sky. He became excited and happy at the thought of this.

The others' face turned into shock at the sight of him. They did not expect that someone would be able to absorb the energy of the lightning whilst fighting against it. No wonder he was considered to be a demon.

The Crimson Fire Monarch's expression turned into surprise and worry as well.

He felt that if Qingfeng Li continued on with what he was doing, Qingfeng Li would become more physically powerful, to which he potentially might not be able to win against.
