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

Chapter 240, Part 239: This is I, True Man Li
This overwhelming aura, almost tangible, is so powerful that even the masculine energy of a True Martial Realm fist is insignificant compared to it.

Li Chunfeng was blasted down by the lightning tribulation, his mind still reeling.

They finally behaved themselves.

So they began to mobilize the power of the great formation, allowing it to begin to play its proper role.

The tribulations of the Three Nine Heavens crashed down one after another, but after being blocked by layers of formations, they had already weakened.

Li Chunfeng then summoned the Myriad Tribulations Pearl, which transformed into a sphere composed of countless rhomboid fragments, enveloping him within it.

This magical artifact, specially prepared for those undergoing tribulations, is not classified and has a single function. However, in terms of its defensive power against tribulations, it is no less than that of a high-grade magical artifact.

The residual power of the layers of lightning tribulation crashed down, but it was all perfectly neutralized by the Myriad Tribulations Pearl.

A flash of lightning, and the entire Myriad Calamities Pearl transformed into a ball of raging lightning.

The heavenly lightning continued relentlessly, each strike stronger than the last.

When the final tribulation of the Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation struck, it was already as thick as a water vat.

This single strike lasted for more than a quarter of an hour, relentlessly raining down, turning the entire sky into a net of lightning.

The entire hilltop was leveled.

At this moment, the center of the massive tribulation clouds was pitch black, with only the ferocious brilliance of lightning unable to conceal it.

Its terrifying power is enough to instill fear in other cultivators who are about to undergo tribulation!
As for the extent of the outer tribulation clouds, Li Chunfeng had no time to pay attention to it.

But there are people watching over him.

The Immortal Child's soul was limited, preventing him from extending his perception further. However, he could still glean some clues from Qi Huaxuexia's solemn expression.

Qi Huaxuexia's red lips parted slightly, her face already displaying an exaggerated expression.

The Crab Spirit Tribe is thousands of miles away from the Dragon Horn Tribe, and even from the highest peak of the Dragon Horn Mountains, one can still observe the shrouding of tribulation clouds.

When Taishi Bolun, Feng Gongsi, and the others saw the overwhelming and spreading calamity clouds, they were all extremely surprised.

Unlike others.

As one of the few Yin God Realm experts in the base, they knew that Li Chunfeng was preparing to undergo tribulation.

Yes.

The Heavenly Tribulation of the Void Step Realm.

That's fucking outrageous!
As a third-year junior at Kunlun Academy, when the news of Li Chunfeng's successful passage through the Yin God Tribulation reached the school, although it was quickly suppressed by Jiang Wei, everyone who needed to know already knew, which caused quite a stir at the time.

It hasn't been that long, and I'm already facing the Heavenly Tribulation of the Void Step Realm again!

We are all geniuses, so why are you the only one who stands out?

Compared to Li Chunfeng, they suddenly felt like complete idiots.

Originally, Li Chunfeng did not need to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation. He had already broken through to the Void Realm in the Earthly Origin Realm and was no longer subject to the test of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Since he chose to undergo tribulation in the Spirit Realm, it was naturally because of work requirements.

Now that they have witnessed this exaggerated calamity cloud with their own eyes, the impact on their souls is beyond compare. Perhaps the next time they meet, they will have to address him as "Master."

In the northeastern corner of this desolate region lies a peculiar swamp, perpetually shrouded in thunderclouds, where few creatures venture near.

Because of its unique weather, this swamp is also known as the Thundercloud Swamp.

Deep within the swamp dwells a spirit race that worships the Thunder Roc. Several high-ranking members of the Roc tribe are gathered together, observing the approaching tribulation clouds through a giant, eye-like crystal.

One of the middle-aged men had a piercing gaze, like two flashes of lightning.

It was Luo Lei, the leader of the Thunder Eagle Clan who had once appeared in the Mountain God Tribe.

"Previously, the Ten Thousand Snakes, Toads, and Spirit Elephant tribes swaggered around, thinking they could run rampant in this barren land. As a result, they were not only deceived, but also had people die on this land one after another. Since then, I have sensed the danger, so I chose to retreat rather than act rashly. Now, seeing these surging tribulation clouds, I realize how correct my choice was. Only those with great fortune can stir up such powerful tribulation clouds."

Luo Lei's face showed a confident and composed expression. "Afterwards, we carefully sent out scouts, and the changes around the Dragon Horn Tribe confirmed my guess. Moreover, they even had the resources to actively search for our hiding place."

The Great Spirit Shaman of the Thunder Roc Clan disregarded all this and said, "Back then, Thunder Eagle separated from the tribe to seek a different path, and the specific reasons are now lost to history. But we were trapped in our ancestral land, almost losing our lineage, but now we have finally survived..."

“Strictly speaking, we are now two different tribes, and we worship different gods. It’s just that a thousand years later, fate has brought you back to this land.”

Luo Lei sensed the Great Spirit Shaman's dissatisfaction and simply smiled, "Blood ties are unbreakable. When the Thunder Eagle lineage separated from the ancestral land, wasn't it precisely to ensure the continuity of our lineage? We've debated this topic countless times, and the Great Spirit Shaman can't deny that we have many similarities."

The Great Spirit Shaman shook his head, deliberately changing the subject, and said, "Let's not talk about the old stories, but right now, this force has suddenly appeared in this desolate land. Where do you think they came from?"

Luo Lei said, "Didn't the Great Spirit Shaman already have a guess about where it came from? The Qilin Deer Demon that suddenly visited some time ago must have already given the Great Spirit Shaman the answer."

The Great Spirit Shaman chuckled, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you."

"The demon race is not to be trusted, let alone outside forces. Now that your Thunder Eagle clan has split off, you should stop coveting the ancestral land. My only duty in protecting the ancestral land is to preserve our heritage. Heritage is of paramount importance."

"We don't care about the Kunpeng inheritance. The Tianpeng is already invincible, why should we covet other people's methods? If something unpredictable happens, even if we have to abandon you, we will protect the inheritance of our entire tribe. This is something that will never change. I only hope that you will not bring disaster to our ancestral land. This is my attitude and my final advice to you."

Luo Lei was extremely disappointed.

He had naturally considered using force to seize the declining ancestral land and use it as the base from which Lei Ying rose to power.

However, after learning that the ancestral land showed signs of revival, and especially after discovering that this great spirit shaman was even stronger than him, he temporarily suppressed the dark thoughts in his heart.

In the desolate wilderness, engulfment is an eternal theme.

If you're not strong enough, just pray you don't get noticed by anyone.

He scoffed inwardly, cursing the old man for being weak, but dared not show it. He simply nodded noncommittally. "I still hope to use the Heavenly Roc Stone Eye to investigate the entrance to the secret realm. I beg the Great Spirit Shaman to give me a chance, considering our shared lineage."

The Great Spirit Shaman shook his head. "From the very first day you entered the ancestral land, you have been coveting the Heavenly Roc Stone Eye. If it weren't for the Heavenly Roc Feather from back then as proof, I would never have allowed you to enter the ancestral land. Moreover, without a definite spiritual guide, even if I lent you the Heavenly Roc Stone Eye, you wouldn't be able to find the place."

Luo Lei had been keeping things to himself, but now, forced by the surging tribulation clouds, he had no choice but to be honest.

His expression was hesitant, but he finally made up his mind, opened his mouth and spat out a drop of blood.

This seemingly ordinary drop of blood, upon its appearance, caused the surrounding air to explode with pressure, clearly indicating that this single drop of blood was extremely heavy. It also constantly exuded a powerful oppressive aura, making it difficult for the people in the room to even breathe.

The Great Spirit Shaman's expression finally changed. "This... could it be the true blood of the Kunpeng?!"

Luo Lei opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing the blood bead back into his stomach. "Great Spirit Shaman, you misunderstand. It's just an ordinary blood bead. If it were Kunpeng's true blood, a single drop would be enough to crush this mountain. With this blood bead here, would the Great Spirit Shaman still want to stop me?"

……

Beside the Crab Spirit Tribe.

The Heavenly Tribulation of the Fourth Nine has already begun to show a purple halo.

Its power has completely surpassed the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation of the Yin God Realm.

Li Chunfeng's heart stirred, and he activated the "Starry Sky Soul Bone". The "Nebula Soul Robe" was put on, and the profound meaning of the soul bone was amplified three times in all aspects.

A pale silver giant split off from the divine soul, transformed, revealed three heads and six arms, and roared to the sky!

"Aw! Aww!"

The Heavenly Rank Perfected 'Battle Will Body' let out a fierce roar, raising its head to face the thunderclouds.

'Starlight Beam Cannon!'

A surging beam of light shot straight down into the descending thundercloud.

Boom! The lightning tribulation was instantly neutralized, and the layer of lightning energy was blasted into a shredded state.

Li Chunfeng treated these lightning tribulations as enemies and proactively confronted them. Although this would certainly make the lightning strikes faster and might even anger the heavens, it was still better than passively being struck.

With a flash, countless clones appeared beneath the clouds of tribulation.

'Starry Sky Fist Intent!'

'The Intent of Chaotic Ancient Fist!'

"Kill, kill, kill!"

In that instant, Li Chunfeng unleashed his strongest move, the fist intent of all his clones merged into one, and starlight suddenly shone brightly under the dark tribulation clouds. His main body even transformed into a giant shining with starlight. As soon as the fist intent was released, a large hole was blasted in the tribulation clouds, revealing the blue sky behind it.

After the fourth nine-day period of calamity, the fifth nine-day period will soon arrive.

Li Chunfeng once again summoned Tiandu and Xinghe.

Sword beams of light transformed into giants and galaxies, while the tribulation clouds in the sky transformed into a giant serpent of thunder and fire, swirling and fiercely battling the two swords. Clearly, the tribulation clouds had undergone a second transformation. The transformation of the tribulation clouds into the thunder and fire serpent was akin to suddenly possessing a sentient flying sword, its power instantly amplified.

Li Chunfeng's swordsmanship was ultimately somewhat ineffective against his enemies. If it weren't for his unparalleled ability to create clones, he would likely have been shattered.

So he manipulated his clones to self-destruct repeatedly, bombarding the thunderclouds. He used magical artifacts to smash them, and his battle intent to blast them apart.

By relying on a variety of methods, they managed to stabilize the situation.

By the time the sixth and seventh nine-day periods had passed, Li Chunfeng had already unleashed his spatial magic.

The celestial vortex shattered the tribulation clouds, drawing them into a series of spatial vortex turbulences for destruction.

The chaotic revelation directly triggered a spatial collapse, causing a massive explosion of the tribulation clouds and space, blasting the entire mountain into dust.

The Eighth and Ninth Heavenly Tribulations.

Forced to unleash his ultimate technique, Li Chunfeng let out a thunderous dragon roar, and the Purple-Green Tai Chi symbol reappeared.

The Taiyi Divine Thunder destroyed, the Yi Wood Evergreen Creation emerged, and boundless light of the heart appeared, dispelling the darkness.

Crack! Crack! The sound of heaven and earth shattering echoed in all directions.

As the competition intensified, Li Chunfeng felt as if he had transformed into a small boat in a turbulent, dark sea, drifting with the current and about to be smashed to pieces by the waves.

But he persevered and faced his final judgment. When the Nine-Nine Tribulation crashed down, his eyes were filled with lightning. Even more powerful was the divine tribulation contained within the Nine-Nine Tribulation Lightning. The moment this tribulation lightning struck, the Myriad Tribulation Pearl was instantly shattered, his twin swords wailed and flew away, and the Void Divine Chains scattered in all directions.

Only the twelve-petaled black lotus stood firm.

No matter how much lightning struck, no matter how much it was bombarded and knocked over, there was no sense of decay whatsoever.

It seems that the twelve-petaled black lotus is a symbol of immortality.

This is certainly not the case.

Li Chunfeng has completely refined this twelfth-grade black lotus into his natal magic weapon, and he can feel the soul essence inside the black lotus being rapidly consumed.

Even with the protection of the Black Lotus, he still felt a splitting headache under this calamity of the falling god.

He felt every thought in his mind being shattered and broken. He no longer knew what kind of being he was. His mind was filled with confusion; he felt no pain, knew nothing at all.

Li Chunfeng finally learned what it felt like to be reduced to dust.

Fortunately, his "Black Lotus Sutra of the Turbid World" has completely completed the transformation of its twelve chapters.

The twelfth-grade black lotus treasure can devour the malevolent energy and filth of heaven and earth.

Is there any more malevolent force than the wrath of heaven and earth?

This is also why the twelfth-grade black lotus withstood the Tribulation of Returning to One.

As long as he persists in his true nature and remains unchanged, a state of being that is neither born nor dies will naturally emerge. No matter how his thoughts are shattered, they can be reassembled and reassembled into his own soul!

In the end, the entire world was filled with endless tribulation lightning essence, the purest tribulation lightning essence. Every strand and every bit of it was a powerful medicine, penetrating into one's soul and thoughts.

After destruction comes rebirth. The lightning tribulation is like countless lightning needles, penetrating every pore of his body and even his soul, trying to tear him to shreds.

It contains the true meaning of destruction and creation, and it also intends to devour Li Chunfeng's thoughts.

The attack came so fiercely that no one could react in time. Li Chunfeng was like a naked man who had jumped into a sea of ​​skeletons in the realm of the dead, facing the endless bites of the skeleton spirits.

Now, the entire world is filled with the intent of heavenly tribulation, which is also his closest contact with the will of this world.

"Destruction and creation, yin and yang and cycles, devoid of any emotion."

Everything rushed in, trying to devour every thought of Li Chunfeng, then completely assimilate him, causing him to lose his will and ultimately become a part of heaven and earth.

This outcome is also called "transformation into the Dao," but since he doesn't reach the level of "Dao," it naturally represents death.

If it were an ordinary Void Realm soul, it would probably be dead already. However, Li Chunfeng had countless thoughts, each a twelfth-grade black lotus. Although he had only just broken through the barrier between life and death, his soul pressure was already at the limit of the Void Realm.

Even beyond the realm of illusion.

This confidence comes from the two Heavenly Dao Fruits.

The power of heaven and earth is vast and impartial, and the rules of heaven and earth are governed by laws.

Even if the Heavenly Tribulation of the Void Realm is strong, it cannot exceed the level of the Void Realm to deal with Li Chunfeng.

Li Chunfeng's spiritual strength far exceeded that of ordinary Void Realm cultivators; it was still somewhat unrealistic for Heaven and Earth to try to swallow him whole.

Li Chunfeng, who had been stunned by the attack, gradually recovered and it was time for him to retaliate.

"Since you want to assimilate me, I will devour you in return!"

"I will devour the will of this world and use it for my own purposes!"

A sudden realization dawned on him: "Perhaps this is the meaning of a Dao Lord in the Tribulation Realm undergoing tribulation. Absorbing lightning, passing through the tribulation, and using the energy of lightning and the will of heaven and earth to temper one's soul!"

Unbeknownst to him, Li Chunfeng, with his far-sighted vision and divine soul far surpassing that of the Void Realm, perceived the true meaning of the Void Realm Heavenly Tribulation.

However, the idea of ​​devouring the will of heaven and earth is still a pipe dream for other Void Realm cultivators and even those at the Divine Transformation Realm.

No matter what.

Li has his own methods.

"Soul Eater!"

The shadow of the Soul-Devouring Beast reappeared, and Li Chunfeng, like a fat man who hadn't eaten for ten or fifteen days, opened his blood-red maw and greedily devoured it.

He swallowed the will of heaven and earth in one gulp.

Then he felt like he was about to explode again.

Dozens or even hundreds of thoughts perished together, bursting apart by the thoughts of heaven and earth, but also knocking that thought of heaven and earth down to the dust.

"Practice for me!"

They fought against the will of heaven and earth, almost by sacrificing themselves for the cause.

He actually managed to tear off a piece of that thought of heaven and earth.

As the Soul Refining Mill began to churn, even the thoughts of heaven and earth transformed into the purest soul energy, beginning to replenish one's own thoughts, making them more resilient, and also adding some unique will.

This will, ruthless and cold-blooded, is a collision of destructive and creative forces, an extreme evolution of power, yet it gives birth to an endless sense of life.

In the midst of this struggle, Li Chunfeng also felt intensely exhausted, on the verge of collapse. Every thought in his mind seemed to be urging him, "Stop here." However, Li Chunfeng gritted his teeth and, relying on his abundant soul power, continued to charge forward, devouring and refining more and more of the will of heaven and earth.

Until every thought of his merged with the will of heaven and earth, and then gradually transformed into his own power.

In an instant, Li Chunfeng's perception within the tribulation clouds greatly increased, and he finally saw the situation of the tribulation clouds clearly.

He vaguely "saw" nine lightning rings.

At this moment, he was on the outer edge of the ninth lightning ring, not even touching the very outermost ring.

I could vaguely sense that the nine lightning rings grew stronger towards the center, as the will of heaven and earth increased. At the very center of those rings stood towering lightning giants, representing the authority of heaven and earth, the authority of the way of thunder.

"Even with such a ferocious Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, I haven't been able to get to the true core of the tribulation yet?!"

"If a bolt of lightning were to erupt from the deepest core, the will of heaven and earth it carries would be countless times greater than all of my current divine soul power."

Li Chunfeng should be thankful that he is currently only undergoing the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation in the Void Transcending Realm.

Before they knew it, the lightning had stopped falling from the sky.

"You've made it?"

Li Chunfeng looked up and saw that the boundless tribulation clouds had transformed into boundless essence of heaven and earth, falling down.

This pure and refined essence of heaven and earth was easily absorbed and refined by Li Chunfeng. The essence was so concentrated that it fell like sweet rain right at the very center.

"It's time to reap the rewards!"

The Qi and Blood Demon Embryo began to operate wildly on its own, circulating through the Great Heavenly Cycle, transporting Qi and Blood to temper all parts of the physical body.

Li Chunfeng also took the initiative to practice the Qi Refining Technique.

The Nine Revolutions Chaotic Will Sword Body Technique absorbs this essence of heaven and earth like a black hole.

The Qi Refining Golden Core stage was not an obstacle for Li Chunfeng; his progress was slow only because he had too few resources.

Now, nourished by the essence of heaven and earth after the calamity, it greedily and frantically absorbed it, and began to grow strong.

Taiyi, Randeng, and Mosquito Daoist also stepped out of their soul apertures, absorbing and refining the "post-calamity rain" together.

Li Chunfeng's soul also emerged from its shell, stepping on the twelfth-grade black lotus. His soul power increased greatly, and his thoughts carried a vast and warm breeze.

It has been completely distinguished from the Yin wind of the Yin spirit.

When his soul manifests, it is no different from that of an ordinary person. People whose soul realm is not higher than his cannot tell the difference at all.

From this day forward, call me Master Li!

At the same time, streaks of seven-colored light flashed on the broken jade disc, and a massive amount of fortune gathered there.

As the clouds of calamity dispersed, auspicious hues and the celebratory presence of dragons and phoenixes appeared. The void trembled, and strange phenomena soared into the sky. A black lotus, with twelve petals, embodied the primordial chaos. At the same time, death permeated the world, as if a sea of ​​death painted the horizon. Between the sea and sky, lanterns emerged from the dead sea, illuminating countless black lotuses within. The interplay of life and death created a sense of being transported to the primordial era of creation, a time of hazy chaos.

The immortal boy and Qi Huaxuexia in the distance both turned their heads to look.

"When the heavens and earth are blessed with good fortune, extraordinary phenomena will manifest."

Qi Huaxuexia couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Could this kid have been chosen by the Heavenly Dao of this realm?!"

Zhang Jingyi, being a man of great experience, said, “Heaven and earth are impartial; this is merely a reward after the calamity. However… the fortune does seem somewhat abnormal, which may not be a good thing. In the future, he will inevitably have to repay the karmic debt to this world.”

"Oh dear, trouble is brewing." Qi Huaxuexia turned her head to look into the distance.
The Human Immortal Child also glanced at the murderous thought, "After one calamity comes another. Let's see how this arrogant kid's combat power is below the Void Realm."

Aren't you afraid he's not strong enough?

The Human Immortal Child rolled his eyes. "He even dared to devour the thoughts of the tribulation lightning. Now his soul has been transformed from yin to yang. As long as he refines the Dao principles, he is within reach of becoming a Nascent Soul. The ones who should be worried are those who try to take advantage of the situation."

Li Chunfeng, who was frantically absorbing the benefits, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

"You villain, prepare to die!"

A gigantic crab, resembling a towering giant, with two massive, gray pincers, seemed poised to tear Li Chunfeng apart.

Without a second thought, Li Chunfeng unleashed a powerful punch from afar.

With a sudden crash, the crab tumbled and flew for who knows how many kilometers.

Zhang Jingyi: "..."

Qi Huaxuexia: "(⊙▽⊙)!"
