Shrouding the Heavens: Starting with a divine furnace, persuade Yi Qingwu

Chapter 31 Lightning Tribulation Transformation [Please Read On]

Ancient Sacred Body + two major realms combined + backlog caused by the delay of the Goddess Furnace —

Even he himself was somewhat uncertain.

But in front of his woman, he had to appear confident.

We mustn't let Yi Qingwu find out.

"Step back a hundred miles," Ye Feng said calmly and confidently. "I will successfully overcome this tribulation."

Yi Qingwu looked at him for a long time.

In those clear, cold eyes, there was worry, hesitation, and unease.

But she eventually nodded.

"Okay, then be careful."

She stepped forward, stood on tiptoe, and gently kissed Ye Feng on the cheek.

The lips were soft and cool, like a snowflake landing on my cheek.

Then she turned around, leaped into the air, and quickly retreated.

A hundred miles away, Yi Qingwu landed on a snow-capped peak, sat cross-legged, and stared intently in the direction of Ye Feng.

Dark clouds have begun to gather on the horizon.

The dark clouds arrived extremely quickly, as if someone had poured a basin of ink into the sky, instantly turning half the sky black.

Dark clouds rolled in, thunder rumbled, and streaks of lightning flashed through the clouds like silver snakes.

A suffocating sense of oppression filled the air.

Even from a hundred miles away, Yi Qingwu could feel the oppressive force emanating from the Heavenly Dao, a resolute determination to crush all those who defy it.

At the heart of the tribulation, Ye Feng stood atop a snow-capped peak, looking up at the tribulation clouds in the sky.

The ease and roguishness that had been on his face were gone, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity.

The calamity clouds rolled overhead, growing lower and thicker, like a mountain pressing down.

Sudden.

A blazing beam of light cleaved down from the clouds of calamity, illuminating the entire world.

The light, dozens of feet long and entirely silver-white, carried a world-destroying power as it slashed straight down at Ye Feng.

The first bolt of heavenly lightning.

Ye Feng did not dodge.

He raised his right hand and threw a punch.

The golden fist imprint shot into the sky and collided with the heavenly lightning, producing a muffled boom.

The lightning shattered, turning into countless tiny arcs of electricity that scattered in all directions.

Only a faint white mark remained on Ye Feng's fist.

The physical body of the Ancient Sacred Body is incredibly powerful.

But Ye Feng had no time to be smug.

Because within the tribulation clouds, even more heavenly lightning is brewing.

boom-!!!

The second, the third, the fourth —

One bolt of lightning after another struck down, each one thicker and stronger than the last.

By the tenth strike, the lightning bolt was as thick as a bucket. When it struck, the entire snow-capped peak trembled, ice and snow scattered, and rocks flew everywhere.

Ye Feng still did not dodge.

He unleashed punch after punch, the golden fist imprints colliding with the silvery lightning, producing deafening roars.

Each collision sends up a shower of electric arcs, shattering the surrounding snow-capped peaks into countless holes.

But he didn't take a single step back.

The heavenly tribulation seemed to be enraged.

The calamity clouds churned even more violently, and a low roar came from within them, as if some ancient behemoth was awakening.

then.

Ye Feng saw a scene that made his pupils shrink.

From within the calamity clouds, a being of lightning emerged.

The first thing to appear was a giant bird that was entirely silver-white, with wingspans of several tens of feet. Each feather was formed from condensed lightning and emitted a dazzling light.

It let out a sharp cry, swooped down, and pounced on Ye Feng.

"Thunder Sparrow".

Ye Feng recognized the creature—a ferocious bird from the ancient times, which feeds on lightning and is born with the power of thunder.

The Heavenly Tribulation manifested its form to deal with those undergoing tribulation.

Ye Feng snorted coldly, and instead of retreating, he advanced, soaring into the air to meet the Thunder Sparrow.

With a single punch, a golden fist imprint struck Lei Que squarely in the head.

Thunder Sparrow let out a mournful cry, its entire body exploded, turning into a sky full of arcs of electricity.

Ye Feng took a deep breath and absorbed the shattered arcs of electricity into his body.

Those electric arcs contained pure energy of heaven and earth; with each bit he absorbed, his physical body became stronger.

Only by constantly absorbing the power of the heavenly tribulation can he withstand the endless stream of lightning creatures.

But the heavenly tribulation would not give him a chance to catch his breath.

As soon as the thunderbird dissipated, new beings emerged from the tribulation clouds.

This time there are three.

Three silver-white thunder wolves, as large as calves, with exposed fangs and lightning flashing in their eyes.

They surrounded Ye Feng in a triangle and pounced on him at the same time.

Ye Feng smashed one with his left fist and shattered another with his right fist. When the third one pounced in front of him, he kicked it and shattered it into pieces.

Three thunder wolves, three punches and one kick, all taken care of.

But Ye Feng's breathing was already somewhat rapid.

It wasn't because I was tired, but because the pressure in the air was getting heavier.

Within the calamity clouds, more lightning creatures are taking shape.

Next up are Thunder Tiger, Thunder Leopard, and Thunder Python —

One wave after another, each stronger than the last.

Each of these lightning creatures was a ferocious beast from ancient times, evolved from a heavenly tribulation, and fearlessly pounced on Ye Feng.

Ye Feng stood atop the snow-capped peak like a war god, unleashing golden fist imprints that blasted the lightning creatures apart one by one.

He had wounds on his body, his sleeves were torn, there were several charred marks on his arms, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

But his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Because every time he blasts those lightning creatures, he can absorb some of the energy, making his body stronger.

He grew through battle and transformed through calamity.

This is what makes the Ancient Sacred Body so terrifying.

The heavenly tribulation seemed to sense how troublesome this tribulation seeker was.

The calamity clouds churned even more violently, and a series of low roars came from within them, as if summoning some even more powerful being.

Then--

Ye Feng's pupils suddenly contracted.

A giant bird, entirely silver-white, emerged from the clouds of calamity.

That's not a Thunder Sparrow.

That was a Vermilion Bird.

Suzaku.

One of the Ten Ancient Fiends, a divine bird that controls the Southern Bright Fire. It is said that an adult Vermilion Bird can burn down an entire star field with a single blast of flame.

Although the Vermilion Bird that evolved from the Heavenly Tribulation only had the strength of the Dragon Transformation Realm, the pressure emanating from the depths of its bloodline made Ye Feng's breathing difficult.

The Vermilion Bird spread its wings, which spanned a hundred feet, blotting out the sky and the sun.

It looked down at Ye Feng, and there was a hint of arrogant indifference in its eyes, which were formed from lightning.

Then, it opened its mouth.

A blazing flame spewed from its mouth; the flame was not red, but silver-white, carrying the aura of heavenly thunder, and rushed straight towards Ye Feng.

Ye Feng did not take the hit head-on.

He dodged the flame with a swift movement.

The flames landed on the snow-capped peak behind him, instantly melting the entire mountain into a pool of scalding lava.

Ye Feng gasped.

If you get sprayed with this, you'll be badly injured, if not killed.

He dared not hold back any longer, unleashing all his divine power, forming hand seals, and golden divine light burst forth from his body, condensing into a huge golden phantom behind him.

This is his true self, which he nurtured in the Dao Palace Realm.

Although he is far from having mastered the technique, it is enough to deal with a Vermilion Bird in the Dragon Transformation Realm.
