Martial Universe: Starting with Lin Langtian, who crippled Lin Dong's father.

Chapter 181, a long chapter of four thousand words.

The moment Lin Langtian entered the bronze gate, darkness descended upon his vision.

Even all of his senses were sealed within his body, and the powerful spiritual energy that originally rippled around him was forcibly compressed back into his body.

The sudden lockdown startled Lin Langtian slightly.

However, there was no major panic. This was just the basic procedure in this world, nothing to be surprised about, and so they gradually relaxed.

Shortly after Lin Langtian relaxed, the darkness quietly dissipated.

A sliver of light pierced the darkness once more, illuminating Lin Langtian's body.

Lin Langtian squinted his eyes, adjusting to the light for a moment, and then slowly opened them.

What came into view was an enormous gate.

Standing before this colossal gate, Lin Langtian felt as insignificant as an ant. Looking up, the oppressive feeling and the sheer power of it made his heart tremble violently.

The giant gate was a pale blue color, but it was not closed at this time; instead, it appeared to be open.

Looking behind the giant gate, everything was blurry and unclear, making it extremely eerie and mysterious.

"Is this... the place where the four great sects inherit their legacy?"

As Lin Langtian gazed at the massive, open door, the shock in his heart gradually subsided, and he murmured to himself.

As described in the original work, these four major sects should be comparable to the seven super sects.

Even if I don't know how many years these once-powerful sects have been dormant and forgotten, the terrifying depths they possess are still frightening to me now.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

As Lin Langtian murmured to himself, a blue light suddenly condensed on the giant gate, and ancient characters seemed to emerge faintly, carrying a sense of historical weight and possessing a captivating charm.

"The Four Symbols Mysterious Sect, Azure Dragon Hall."

Lin Langtian stared at the ancient characters and read them aloud softly.

"Azure Dragon Palace, it really is him."

Once you enter the Azure Dragon Palace, you will be able to meet Qingzhi.

Lin Langtian's ambitions extend far beyond Qingzhi's inheritance; he also seeks to maintain his friendship with Qingzhi.

You must know, this is an old monster who has survived countless ages, from that ancient era when reincarnation was worse than that of a dog, and the cycle of rebirth was everywhere.

Gaining his favor would naturally bring many benefits.

As Lin Langtian pondered, ancient characters reappeared on the giant gate, flashing with azure light.

"The Azure Dragon Trial is a perilous journey with a slim chance of survival. Enter at your own risk! Enter at your own risk!"

The two consecutive "Caution" characters, with a faint hint of bloodlust, gave off an extremely fierce feeling. Anyone who saw such characters would probably feel a chill run down their spine.

Lin Langtian remained calm despite this.

Looking around at this strange space, it seemed that there was only one path to take.

A strange feeling arose in Lin Langtian's heart.

The person who set up this space must have a really strange mindset.

On the one hand, they tell people to be careful entering, and on the other hand, they block off any way out.

But the only path available is clearly to enter this giant gate and undergo the so-called Azure Dragon Trial. So what's the point of even trying?

However, this did not deter Lin Lang at all, and he then stepped towards the opened giant door.

The expected darkness did not appear when I stepped through the giant gate.

Lin Langtian's vision was only a fleeting flash.

Then, he felt the world around him suddenly change.

"boom!"

A deafening roar suddenly rang in Lin Langtian's ears.

A bolt of lightning flashed, and silver light shone on Lin Langtian's body. His usually calm eyes were now gradually filled with a look of shock.

Reflected in Lin Langtian's pupils was a boundless silver ocean.

Above the ocean, dark clouds stretched to the horizon.

The dark clouds were incredibly thick, crackling with lightning. Huge bolts of lightning, like angry dragons, roared down from within the clouds, finally crashing down on the silver ocean below.

"boom!"

The ocean surged with waves under the thunderous bombardment.

However, amidst the surging waves, Lin Langtian saw flashing lightning; the seawater was entirely formed from lightning!

This is a sea of ​​lightning!

"hiss--!"

Seeing this scene, even Lin Langtian, who was usually calm, couldn't help but gasp.

Looking around suddenly, he realized that he was actually in the middle of a sea of ​​lightning.

Beneath his feet was only a blue stone about ten feet in size. Streaks of lightning-infused liquid spread out, striking the blue stone. The splashed liquid landed on Lin Langtian's legs, causing a slight stinging sensation.

These thunderbolts are all real.

The stinging pain made Lin Langtian's body tremble violently, and his pupils involuntarily contracted.

He naturally knew all this long ago. If he wanted to obtain Qingzhi's inheritance, this Thunder Sea was an inevitable path, but he wasn't too nervous.

After all, when the protagonist entered the original story, he was only at the level of the first Nirvana Realm. Although his physical strength is weaker now, his Yuan power is at the level of the second Nirvana Realm. There is no reason why he cannot get through.

However, looking at everything in front of him, it seemed that even with his current strength, it would not be an easy task for him to get through.

"To be able to do this, it seems the person who created this trial is incredibly powerful."

The little sable finally emerged from Lin Langtian's body. It looked at the sea of ​​lightning that stretched to the horizon, and a look of surprise flashed across its eyes.

"It seems this trial requires me to pass through this sea of ​​lightning."

Lin Langtian looked up.

Within the thick, dark clouds, massive bolts of lightning descended like a torrential downpour, covering the sky and earth, appearing from afar like a curtain of thunder, an incredibly magnificent sight.

The wrath of Heaven is like a prison!

"It's probably meant to let you get through this thing. You're on your own now," the little ferret said innocently, shrugging its paws.

Of course, he knew that the sea of ​​lightning wouldn't cause any real harm to Lin Langtian. On the contrary, if he could actually get through it, it would significantly boost his physical strength.

Lin Langtian ignored Xiao Diao's unconstructive suggestion.

"In that case, let's set off."

Without wasting any words, Lin Langtian lightly touched the bluestone with his toes and shot out.

"laugh!"

However, just as Lin Langtian rushed out of the area of ​​the blue stone, an irresistible force suddenly surged from all directions, directly pressing his body down and landing him on the sea of ​​lightning.

"Hiss!"

Lin Langtian's feet landed on the sea of ​​lightning, but he did not sink. However, the lightning magma surged towards him.

Instantly, excruciating pain surged from his feet, a sensation akin to stepping into a boiling pot of oil.

When we were on the bluestone, we didn't feel much of that level of lightning, but now that we're deeper inside, the sensation is much clearer.

The sharp pain in his foot quickly brought Lin Langtian back to his senses.

He immediately activated his Yuan Power, and golden light surged beneath his skin.

In the blink of an eye, his entire body was enveloped in golden light, clearly indicating that he had activated the Nirvana Golden Body.

"Squeak!"

As the Nirvana Golden Body was activated, the intense pain subsided considerably.

However, Lin Langtian could still feel a trace of violent lightning flowing into his body through his feet. Wherever the lightning passed, even his meridians were connected, as if he had been electrocuted.

"laugh!"

Lin Langtian's hair stood on end, looking extremely comical like a hedgehog. When he opened his mouth, a wisp of black smoke came out.

The violent power within the sea of ​​lightning continuously eroded his body.

Only by constantly activating the Nirvana Golden Body could it barely withstand it.

However, activating the Nirvana Golden Body requires a large amount of Yuan Power, and it's impossible to open the Nirvana Golden Body as easily as eating.

Even Lin Langtian would find it difficult to withstand that kind of drain.

"I've even traversed the Dark Realm that devours Ancestral Symbols, I refuse to believe I can't get past your Sea of ​​Thunder!"

Lin Langtian grinned, his stubbornness stirred by the sea of ​​lightning.

Since arriving in this world, everything has gone smoothly for him. His cautious nature means that he rarely experiences setbacks or discomfort.

However, as a teenager who is not yet twenty years old, he still has a lot of drive.

In this world, unless you have a cheat code or a system, you still have to honestly endure these trials.

With a thought, wisps of golden light surged from beneath his skin, then gathered at his feet, dispersing to resist the onslaught of the lightning plasma.

"Gurgle!"

Lin Langtian transformed his feet into golden feet, then gritted his teeth, lifted his feet, and walked out step by step.

"Heh heh."

With his feet landing on the sea of ​​lightning, even with the protection of the Nirvana Golden Body, he still felt as if he were walking on steel needles.

After only a few dozen steps, Lin Langtian's forehead was already beaded with cold sweat.

Amidst a sky filled with lightning, a figure, protected by a faint golden light, gradually disappeared into the distance.

"boom!"

Above the sea of ​​lightning, a blinding bolt of lightning tore through the sky like an angry dragon, and then slammed into the sea of ​​lightning, instantly creating towering waves.

Giant waves formed from condensed lightning surged and crashed against a slender figure enveloped in golden light on the sea surface.

"Bang!"

A deep sound rang out, and the figure was directly blasted back dozens of meters.

The violent lightning flowed slowly down his body, crackling as it intertwined with the golden light.

The figure walking amidst the sea of ​​lightning was none other than Lin Langtian, who was attempting to pass the Azure Dragon Trial.

At this moment, his figure was slightly hunched from being battered by the thunderous waves, and his facial features were somewhat ferocious, as if he were in considerable pain.

These thunderous slurries contain a rather violent power.

Under that power, even with the protection of the Nirvana Golden Body, the intense pain caused by that erosion could not be completely prevented.

The feeling was like countless steel rods piercing into the body, piercing to the bone and excruciating.

"call."

Lin Langtian took two quick breaths, slowly loosened his clenched fists, and then straightened his hunched body again.

He had experienced this situation several times during the nearly half-day walk.

The excruciating pain from the lightning plasma was indeed quite torturous. If he hadn't possessed the Nirvana Golden Body, he might have already been eroded by the lightning plasma until not even bones remained.

Despite the pain, as the excruciating pain came again and again, Lin Langtian discovered some clues.

It seems that whenever that intense pain reaches its peak, that violent energy will generate a rather peculiar energy.

That energy was extremely weak, and it would dissipate into Lin Langtian's body the moment it appeared. If it weren't for his keen mental perception, he might have missed it.

This peculiar energy derived from the thunderous magma did not significantly enhance Lin Langtian's cloud power, but he could feel that he had been strengthened by that peculiar energy without even realizing it...

As it was strengthened, it seemed to have gained some resistance to the erosion of that lightning plasma.

Although the pain was still very noticeable, it was obviously a little better than at the beginning.

If this kind of strengthening continues, perhaps one day Lin Langtian will be able to truly ignore this raging sea of ​​lightning.

However, reaching that point is extremely difficult.

Those who lack strong willpower and are less capable, even if they realize this situation, will probably not be able to persevere...

"At this rate, to reach the point where they can ignore the erosion of the sea of ​​lightning..."

Lin Langtian wiped away a wisp of lightning paste clinging to his head, looked up at the endless silver sea of ​​lightning, and frowned slightly.

According to his estimation, at this rate of enhancement, it would probably take at least six months.

Clearly, Lin Langtian couldn't afford to spend that much time.

In less than six months, the Great War of the Hundred Dynasties will begin in full force, and he must pass the Azure Dragon Trial and meet Qingzhi before then.

By the way, in the original story, that kid seemed to have asked Little Mink for help...

"It's not impossible to improve this speed..." Just as Lin Langtian was thinking about Xiao Diao, Xiao Diao's voice suddenly rang in his mind.

"Hmm? You have a way?" Lin Langtian smiled inwardly and asked in return.

"These lightning plasmas do indeed contain a kind of energy that can enhance you. It will release this energy when you are stimulated to the extreme. However, the energy that is automatically released is only one-tenth of what it contains. If you can keep the other nine-tenths of the energy, the enhancement speed will naturally increase."

The little ferret said casually.

"And then?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian did not lose his composure. Instead, he lowered his eyes slightly and asked calmly.

He knew that there was no such thing as a simple gain in this world.

"Hey, it's nothing, just that the pain I'm experiencing is ten times more intense than before," Little Marten chuckled strangely.

"ten times……"

Lin Langtian's eye twitched slightly.

Even though she was somewhat prepared, her body still couldn't help but tremble.

Although the previous pain was nothing, if it were increased tenfold, it would be unbearable for an ordinary person.

"It's a bit unbearable, but it seems to be the only way to increase speed. Of course, whether or not to do it is up to you to decide," said Little Mink.
