Chapter 276 Five Thunderbolts
Chapter 276 Thunderstruck
No one expected that Lin Fei would break through so suddenly, without any warning or prior preparation.
When the enormous vortex of spiritual energy from heaven and earth converged at the summit of Dragon Head Mountain, everyone realized that Lin Fei was not just boasting; he was truly about to achieve the Dharma Aspect Realm in one step!
"Good heavens, he really is aiming for instant success! This new emperor has some serious ambition!"
"Even Liu Buhui had to fight against experts to unleash his potential before daring to break through, yet he broke through just like that. Could he be stronger than Liu Buhui?"
"I just hope it's not a case of putting on a brave face, otherwise we'll have to attend the second enthronement ceremony of the Southern Tang Dynasty right away!"
……
The crowd buzzed with discussion, all eyes fixed on Lin Fei. They wanted to see if this Southern Tang emperor truly possessed the ability, perhaps even surpassing Liu Buhui of yesteryear, having broken through without needing to unleash his potential.
A large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth continuously converged towards Dragon Head Mountain. The huge vortex of spiritual energy formed at the top of the mountain could be clearly seen even at the foot of the mountain.
The hundreds of thousands of people at the foot of the mountain were still unaware of what was happening on the mountain. Upon seeing the huge vortex of spiritual energy in the sky, they all exclaimed in surprise.
"Look, what exactly happened on the mountaintop?"
"My God! Such powerful spiritual energy! Could it be that a natural disaster is about to strike?"
"Bullshit! The new emperor's ascension to the throne is a cause for universal celebration. What natural disaster could there be? I believe this strange phenomenon is an auspicious omen, signifying a new era for our Southern Tang!"
……
The story of auspicious omens descending from the heavens spread like wildfire. Later unofficial histories even recorded that when the emperor ascended the throne, auspicious omens appeared from the heavens, and the winds and clouds changed color. Thus, an unparalleled ruler who altered the course of history officially stepped onto the stage of history.
……
Leaving aside the uninformed bystanders below Dragon Head Mountain, everyone's attention on Dragon Head Mountain was now focused on Lin Fei.
Ascending to the top in one step is as difficult as ascending to heaven. Even Liu Buhui almost died under the heavenly lightning tribulation. Everyone wanted to see what gave this new emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty the confidence to achieve such a feat in front of all the heroes of the world.
The vortex of spiritual energy in the sky grew larger and larger, and a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth surged down from the vortex, rushing towards Lin Fei's body like a stampede of ten thousand horses.
By absorbing this massive amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth into his body, he could condense his true energy into a Dharma form. Without a doubt, Lin Fei possessed the absolute strength to achieve the Dharma form realm.
As long as this massive amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth is absorbed into the body, and the three parts of one's inner world are used as the center, one can immediately condense one's own natal dharma form.
However, what Lin Fei wanted to achieve was not the Dharma Aspect realm of returning to the origin in three parts, but the realm of ascending to heaven in one step, directly pointing to the heavens! Therefore, he could not absorb this massive amount of spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
If absorbed into the body, one can achieve a Dharma form, but for those who have returned to the origin in three parts, it is probably impossible to advance further and reach the realm of the celestial being, perhaps not even one in ten thousand can do so.
"I wish to ascend to the heavens in one step, how can I be bound by heaven and earth?" Lin Fei shouted softly, forming a true qi barrier outside his body, blocking all the surging spiritual energy of heaven and earth from entering.
The massive amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth continuously impacted Lin Fei's true energy barrier, seemingly trying to enter his body. However, Lin Fei's true energy barrier was like an indestructible high wall, firmly keeping all the spiritual energy from his body.
After a long while, the massive amount of spiritual energy finally gave up its impact and slowly dissipated. What followed was the huge vortex of spiritual energy in the sky, which instantly turned into rolling dark clouds.
It was as if dark clouds were pressing down on the city, threatening to crush it. The rolling dark clouds seemed to be about to completely crush the entire Dragon Head Mountain.
This is the wrath of Heaven. Those who wish to ascend to the heavens in one step must isolate themselves from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth when advancing to the Dharma form. This will inevitably provoke the wrath of Heaven and bring down punishment.
Those who withstand the punishment of the Heavenly Tribulation can ascend to the heavens in one step, directly reaching the realm of Celestial Beings. Those who cannot withstand it will be shattered to pieces, dying under the wrath of the Heavenly Dao.
Seeing the rolling dark clouds gathering at the top of Dragon Head Mountain, people knew that the real show was just beginning. On the sacrificial altar, only Lin Fei remained; even Du Qingmu had retreated far away. This heavenly tribulation of thunder could only be faced by him alone; no one could help Lin Fei.
At this moment, Lin Fei was the sole protagonist on Dragon Head Mountain. Success meant instant ascension to the heavens. Failure meant utter annihilation.
Finally, after brewing for a long time, the first bolt of lightning struck down from the sky.
Dozens of bolts of lightning, as thick as tree trunks, struck down from the heavens, heading straight for Lin Fei's head.
Lin Fei stood there motionless, his face completely calm and composed, showing no sign of tension whatsoever.
A flash of golden light appeared, and a faint, golden aura of spiritual energy appeared above Lin Fei's head, vaguely forming the shape of a five-clawed golden dragon. The rolling lightning descending from the sky struck directly at the golden dragon aura.
The golden dragon energy trembled and slowly disappeared, and the thunderous tribulation falling from the heavens was completely neutralized.
"Dragon energy protecting me! What powerful dragon energy!"
"As expected of the Son of Heaven, the dragon energy within his body is so dense that it can rival the thunder of the heavens!"
"He passed the first tribulation of lightning so easily. Could this person be even stronger than Liu Buhui?"
……
Seeing that the first tribulation lightning was directly neutralized by the dragon energy within Lin Fei's body, the crowd below the sacrificial altar couldn't help but start discussing among themselves.
Those who came to witness the ceremony were all experts sent by various sects and factions, and their eyesight was naturally excellent. They could easily see that the first tribulation lightning had not forced Lin Fei to reveal his true abilities at all; he had completely neutralized the first tribulation lightning by relying entirely on the protection of the true dragon energy within his body.
True emperors are indeed protected by dragon energy, especially the Li family, the royal family that wields ancient divine weapons. However, it has never been heard of that the dragon energy is so dense that it can directly contend with the might of thunder and heaven.
Today, everyone has truly broadened their horizons. Furthermore, much of their previous disbelief in Lin Fei has vanished after the first tribulation. Many even have a vague premonition—perhaps today will give birth to another legendary figure who rises to prominence in one leap.
