"Mountain Shattering Fist!"
"Boom—"
A terrifying giant fist phantom collided violently with a thick bolt of lightning, erupting in a devastating explosion.
The shockwave once again shattered the cave where Ye Feng stood, nearly flattening the entire mountaintop into a depression!
The tremendous impact caused the ground beneath Ye Feng's feet to cave in.
However, when the lightning struck his body, it was completely blocked by his hardened scales, sparking countless flashes of fire but leaving him unharmed.
In fact, some of the lightning was even absorbed by Ye Feng's body, enhancing his comprehension of thunder-based laws!
As for the paralyzing, dizzying, and other negative effects of the terrifying lightning—they were completely nullified by his "Overlord Body." Even the sensation of pain was barely noticeable.
"Is this all?"
Ye Feng raised his head and looked at the sky, inexplicably disappointed.
He had thought the Thunder Tribulation would reach the power level of a Super Douluo, or even a Limit Douluo…
Yet, it didn't even match the strength of a Titled Douluo.
He didn't even need to use his newly acquired sixth Soul Skill.
In truth, this was already the maximum power the Thunder Tribulation could unleash under the constraints of natural laws. No matter how terrifying the tribulation, it always left a sliver of hope for survival.
For Ye Feng, the upper limit of the Thunder Tribulation's power was that of a peak Soul Douluo.
If it were any stronger, the laws of heaven and earth would not permit it.
Of course, this was only the limit for each individual bolt. If thousands upon thousands of strikes rained down, even a Titled Douluo wouldn't be able to withstand it.
But the Thunder Tribulation never expected Ye Feng to emerge completely unscathed.
"Boom—"
"Crackle—crackle—"
The Thunder Tribulation flew into a rage.
Bolt after bolt of lightning struck Ye Feng, yet none could inflict even the slightest harm.
The only effect was the tremendous impact, which shattered the ground beneath him, burying him deep underground.
At this point, Ye Feng couldn't even be bothered to resist. He allowed the endless lightning to strike him while rapidly comprehending the thunder-based laws surging into his body.
Back in Slaughter City, he had no innate affinity for the laws of slaughter, so his comprehension had taken considerable time.
But now, with his supreme comprehension ability and top-tier Elemental Affinity for thunder, his speed of understanding was nothing short of heaven-defying!
If the laws of slaughter and thunder were likened to books…
Comprehending the laws of slaughter was like reading a book on his own—requiring time to memorize and understand its contents.
But comprehending the laws of thunder? It was like reading ten lines at a glance, with perfect recall. Every bolt of lightning that entered his body became nourishment for his growth.
In just half a quarter-hour, Ye Feng's comprehension of thunder-based laws had reached an astonishingly high level.
Originally, he could only absorb one-thousandth of the lightning's energy. Now, he absorbed over one percent—and the rate was still rising rapidly.
Meanwhile…
The small mountain where Ye Feng had once stood was not only flattened but now featured a massive crater over fifty meters in diameter.
At the center of the crater was a pitch-black hole more than three meters wide.
The surrounding soil had been scorched and even melted by the lightning, still smoking relentlessly.
As for Ye Feng's figure? It was nowhere to be seen.
...
Several thousand meters away—
Qian Renxue and Qian Daoliu stood frozen in place, staring at the scene in disbelief.
When the thunder tribulation split open the cave where Ye Feng was, Qian Renxue had been quite relieved to see him still alive.
But now, watching Ye Feng being struck by such terrifying thunder tribulation, her heart leaped into her throat once more.
"Grandfather, do you think Ye Feng will be alright? This thunder tribulation is too terrifying..." Qian Renxue voiced her concern again.
Qian Daoliu twitched his lips slightly, replying helplessly, "Relax, that kid definitely won't die. Being able to condense a Soul Core in just ten days means his physical strength and mental power have already reached an astonishing level. A mere thunder tribulation isn't just a crisis for him—it might even be an opportunity."
"That's good..."
Qian Renxue let out a small sigh of relief, though she still looked visibly tense.
Seeing this, Qian Daoliu said no more.
By now, he had realized that Ye Feng was nothing short of a monster.
What he had shown so far was merely the tip of the iceberg.
Otherwise, even if he had condensed a Soul Core in ten days, he would never have attracted such a powerful thunder tribulation.
Legends said that only those who "defied the heavens" would be targeted by thunder tribulations.
That kid must possess something truly heaven-defying, something the world itself could not tolerate!
But if he could survive this calamity, he would undoubtedly soar to unimaginable heights, surpassing even the Demigod level and becoming a true deity!
Qian Renxue, too, would one day inherit the Angel Godhood.
These two… actually seemed quite well-matched...
At this point, Qian Daoliu's opinion of Ye Feng had completely changed.
He couldn't even be bothered to scrutinize Ye Feng's character anymore.
After all, he trusted Qian Renxue's judgment—there was no need to worry about his integrity.
As for talent and potential, the current Ye Feng had already exceeded his expectations, making him a perfect match for Qian Renxue!
"Grandfather, Ye Feng is coming out!!"
Suddenly, Qian Renxue exclaimed, pointing into the distance.
Snapping out of his thoughts, Qian Daoliu looked over and saw a figure wreathed in lightning slowly stepping into the air from the massive crater!
Bolts of thunder continued to strike down from the sky, yet they left no mark on him.
Not only that, but the lightning was being absorbed by that figure, transforming into his own power...
And then, step by step, that figure began walking toward the thunderclouds above.
Ye Feng's speed increased—faster and faster—until he turned into a human-shaped bolt of lightning, shooting straight into the sky!
"Wait… what is that kid trying to do?"
"Why is Ye Feng charging straight into the thunderclouds!?!?"
Both Qian Renxue and Qian Daoliu instinctively tilted their heads back, jaws dropping in shock.
In the instant they looked up, Ye Feng had already plunged into the roiling thunderclouds.
"BOOM—"
This time, it seemed Ye Feng had thoroughly enraged the thunderclouds.
A terrifying peal of thunder shook the heavens and earth, making the ground tremble faintly.
The previously flickering thunderclouds now blazed with violent blue-purple light, so intense that it pierced through the clouds and illuminated the entire land.
Meanwhile, within the thunderclouds…
Ye Feng remained enveloped in lightning.
Billions of lightning bolts surged toward him from all directions. Each strike that landed on Ye Feng saw over 50% of its energy absorbed, transforming into his own power!
At this moment, the Thunder Tribulation was no longer his adversary—not a threat, but rather his nourishment!
The reason Ye Feng had charged into the heart of the Thunder Tribulation was that he sensed it was on the verge of dissipating.
A once-in-ten-thousand-years Thunder Tribulation—Ye Feng naturally wouldn't let such an opportunity slip by.
"Thunder Tribulation, I command you to aid my cultivation! Hehehe..." Ye Feng laughed wildly!
Around him, the laws of lightning had already condensed into the embryonic form of a Domain, voraciously devouring the lightning laws within the Thunder Tribulation!
"BOOM—"
The thunder still roared, but it no longer carried its former dominance and fury. Instead, it was thick with unmistakable fear—
As if pleading—Stay away from me!
