Chapter 277 Tribulation
Among the guests below the altar were many people who had personally witnessed Liu Buhui, the "Dragon and Tiger Divine Physician," ascend to heaven in one step and condense his Dharma form.
In their eyes, Lin Fei's passage through the first tribulation seemed much easier than Liu Buhui's back then. He didn't even use any real skills, relying solely on the protection of dragon energy to withstand the first tribulation.
Of course, the tribulation of being struck by lightning consists of five levels. At this moment, we have only passed the first level, which is just the beginning. It is still a long way off before we can completely withstand all five levels of tribulation.
While the protection of dragon energy is undoubtedly a unique advantage for a nation, it's wishful thinking to believe that one can completely overcome the tribulation of five thunderbolts solely with this protective energy. Whether one can truly overcome the five tribulations depends on their own abilities.
……
After the first tribulation was completely neutralized by Lin Fei's protective dragon energy, the second tribulation immediately followed.
This second tribulation of lightning appeared to be similar in quality to the first, but in terms of quantity, it was significantly more numerous. Hundreds of bolts of lightning, as thick as tree trunks, struck straight down from the sky.
Faced with the second tribulation, Lin Fei still did not make any move. He had only passed two of the five tribulations. If he were forced to reveal all his trump cards now, he would not be able to withstand the tribulations that followed.
Lin Fei had personally witnessed Liu Buhui's meteoric rise to the Dharma Aspect stage. He had a general understanding of the power of the five-fold tribulation. He could even withstand the second tribulation with his own body!
Golden light shone from Lin Fei's body, and at the same time, he himself shone like a golden Arhat under the rolling thunder.
"It's the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill of Leiyin Temple!"
"I had long heard that the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill of Leiyin Temple had fallen into the hands of the Southern Tang Emperor. I never imagined that he had actually cultivated the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill to such a high level!"
"This is the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, hailed as one of the five great divine skills of Buddhism throughout history! It is truly incredibly powerful!"
……
As soon as everyone saw Lin Fei use the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, they immediately recognized him. After all, the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill was extremely famous, known as one of the five great divine skills of Buddhism throughout history. It was indeed not easy to avoid being recognized.
Among the crowd, the Venerable Master Xuanli from Leiyin Temple, seeing Lin Fei use the temple's divine skill to resist the heavenly lightning, twitched at the corner of his mouth: "This kid has actually cultivated the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill to the fourth level of perfection! It's such a pity he's not a monk in our temple!"
To have mastered the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill to the fourth level of perfection is a rare feat even within Leiyin Temple, and such a person would be considered a candidate for the head abbot. For an outsider to cultivate the divine skill to this level without guidance is truly a genius.
Even as they were speaking, the second lightning tribulation struck Lin Fei's body. Lin Fei unleashed his Vajra Indestructible Divine Art, his entire body radiating golden light, standing amidst the rolling lightning tribulation.
The lightning tribulation, though fierce, did nothing to harm Lin Fei, this unyielding golden Arhat. As the lightning struck, sparks flew from Lin Fei's golden body, making him appear almost celestial.
Not only the second tribulation lightning, but Lin Fei also withstood the third tribulation lightning using his Vajra Indestructible Divine Art.
The Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, worthy of being one of the five great divine skills of Buddhism throughout history, is a top-tier divine skill renowned for its defensive capabilities. It is therefore perfectly suited to deal with this heavenly thunder.
After enduring three layers of lightning tribulation, the full force of the five-thunder tribulation was already more than halfway through. With the fourth layer of lightning about to strike, Lin Fei knew that this fourth layer was beyond his ability to withstand with his own body.
In fact, during the third tribulation, although the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art barely withstood it, Lin Fei could feel that he was already struggling greatly, and his golden body was even in danger of being shattered by the heavenly lightning.
If he were to use the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill to withstand the fourth tribulation of lightning, he would probably be shattered into pieces by the heavenly lightning.
Just as the fourth tribulation lightning was about to strike, Lin Fei's golden body slowly dissipated, replaced by a gleaming sword held in his hand.
"It's the Xuanyuan Sword!" As soon as Lin Fei took out the sword, someone below immediately recognized it—it was the Xuanyuan Sword, the national treasure of the Southern Tang Kingdom and one of the ten ancient divine weapons!
"Are they finally going to get serious?" Everyone below the altar immediately perked up when they saw Lin Fei take out the Xuanyuan Sword.
Previously, Lin Fei used his protective dragon energy to withstand the first tribulation lightning, and his Vajra Indestructible Divine Art to overcome the second and third tribulations. Although this also greatly shocked everyone, everyone knew that it was simply impossible to withstand all five tribulations.
Lin Fei's trump card was far from being revealed. Seeing Lin Fei take out the Xuanyuan Sword, the most treasured heirloom of the Southern Tang Kingdom, everyone knew that the main event was about to begin.
Some people in the crowd who had seen the Xuanyuan Sword in person before frowned slightly. They keenly noticed that the Xuanyuan Sword in Lin Fei's hand seemed somewhat different from the ones they had seen before.
However, these people couldn't quite put their finger on what was different. After all, they had only seen the Xuanyuan Sword once, and didn't know much about these ten ancient divine weapons.
The fourth lightning tribulation struck, and the sky was filled with lightning, like thousands of floating snakes, completely enveloping the entire summit of Dragon Head Mountain.
Lin Fei gripped the Xuanyuan Sword and shouted, "Open!"
With a flash of sword light, a golden dragon burst forth from the blade of the Xuanyuan Sword. It roared and charged back towards the thunderous serpent falling from the sky.
The dragon and the lightning serpent collided, unleashing a tremendous explosion that filled the entire sky with sparks.
"What an amazing Xuanyuan Sword! Is this the power of one of the Ten Great Ancient Divine Weapons?"
"With such a divine weapon in hand, what is there to fear in surviving the heavenly tribulation? It seems that the world is about to have another legendary figure who rises to the top in one step!"
"It's hard to say. There's still one final tribulation lightning strike. Even with the Xuanyuan Sword, it might not be easy to overcome."
……
Seeing the Xuanyuan Sword display its divine power and withstand the fourth level of heavenly tribulation, the crowd below the sacrificial altar all paled in shock.
As expected of an ancient divine weapon, the Xuanyuan Sword was able to withstand the power of heavenly lightning. After the four tribulations of lightning, only the final tribulation of five thunderbolts remained.
If one can overcome the final tribulation of lightning, then one will ascend to the heavens in one step and achieve the realm of Dharma Aspect!
