Chapter 38: Sword breaks Three-Nine Lightning Tribulation

Boom—

Thunder roared, and dark clouds gathered in the sky outside Lin Fan's residence.

Countless thunderbolts intertwined, lightning converged, and continuously spread toward the surrounding areas, but the final target was Lin Fan, who was in the cave dwelling.

Whoosh—

At this very moment, the sound of breaking through the air rang out.

Lin Fan's figure flew out, directly leaving the cave dwelling and the valley.

Flying for another period of time, Lin Fan soon found a remote place.

Determining that there were no people around, Lin Fan did not continue to flee, but stood on a mountain peak and looked up at the sky.

Accompanied by thunder and lightning.

The Three-Nine Lightning Tribulation also arrived at the area where Lin Fan was, rapidly gathering in the range above him, like a huge tornado rolling.

For a full four or five minutes, the lightning tornado stabilized, and countless thunderbolts began to jump; vaguely, one could see a huge thunder pool absorbing the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth, giving birth to deep blue thunderbolts.

"Almost there."

Seeing this, Lin Fan's eyes flashed with light.

With a thought, the Copy Mirror appeared in the area beside him, then transformed into a long sword and fell into his hand.

Standing with the sword, Lin Fan looked up at the sky and waited patiently.

After about ten more minutes, the thunderbolts in the sky finally finished gestating.

Boom—

A muffled thunder exploded, and nine deep blue thunderbolts could be seen flying out from the huge thunder pool, like dragons baring fangs and brandishing claws, attacking Lin Fan on the ground.

This was the Three-Nine Lightning Tribulation.

Nine thunderbolts descend each time, for a total of three times.

As long as the tribulation is transcended successfully, one can directly be promoted to the cultivation of the early True Immortal Realm, and at the same time receive the feedback and amplification of the power of Heaven and Earth.

Of course, once the tribulation fails, the only outcome is death and soul dissipation.

However, even so, Lin Fan had no fear at this moment.

Facing the nine dragon thunderbolts attacking, he raised the long sword in his hand without hesitation and slashed fiercely.

"Shangqing Sword Formula · Nine Swords Return to One!"

The next second, nine Sword Qi broke through the air.

Carrying endless killing aura, they soared into the sky, and the terrifying Sword Intent burst out quietly, completely destroying the nine thunder dragons in just a few breaths.

Not only that, the remaining Sword Qi returned to one, transformed into a stream of light, and fiercely attacked the huge thunder pool.

Crack—

The sound of shattering rang out, and one could clearly see a huge crack appearing on the surface of the thunder pool.

Countless thunder power dissipated, and pure thunder essence energy descended from the sky.

"Good stuff."

His eyes lit up; Lin Fan really didn't expect that he would have such an unexpected joy this time.

Thunder essence.

This was a good treasure.

If he could intercept it, he could completely use it to refine his body, or even integrate it into his body, so that his magic power would contain the destructive power of thunder.

Thinking of this, Lin Fan immediately grabbed toward the sky: "Come!"

The next second, magic power surged out, directly pulling the falling thunder essence to fly toward the area where Lin Fan was at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As the thunder essence approached him, Lin Fan took out the bottles he had prepared and put them all in without hesitation.

Although refining thunder essence now was the best, and the effect was the greatest.

But he hadn't transcended the Three-Nine Lightning Tribulation yet, so he couldn't be careless; the power of the next two nine-fold lightning tribulations would increase significantly.

About three minutes passed.

The broken thunder pool in the sky was also repaired, and the thunderbolts within continued to accumulate; the terrifying aura was more than ten times stronger than before.

"Collect!"

At the same time, Lin Fan had also collected all the scattered thunder essence.

After putting them into his arms without hesitation, he held the sword and looked up at the sky, waiting patiently.

Boom—

Boom—

Ten minutes later, thunder roared.

The second nine-fold lightning tribulation descended, directly transforming into nine true dragons roaring and screaming, heading straight for Lin Fan.

"Well come!"

Seeing this, Lin Fan laughed.

Although the power of the second nine-fold lightning tribulation had increased tenfold, it had not reached a level he couldn't match.

Without any hesitation, Lin Fan took a deep breath, directly extracted about fifty percent of the magic power in his body, injected it into the long sword, turned around on the spot, and slashed with the sword.

"Shangqing Sword Skill · A Point of Cold Light Across Nineteen Prefectures!"

Swish—

Sword Qi soared into the sky, cold light shining in nine directions.

A strike carrying Shangqing Sword Intent rushed straight into the nine heavens; the attacking thunder dragons hadn't even had time to exert their own power before they were destroyed, collapsed, and shattered.

In just one encounter, the nine thunder dragons exploded.

This Sword Qi did not lose much power and directly attacked the thunder pool.

Crack—

A corner of the thunder pool was cut off alive.

Different from before, when only a portion of the thunder essence leaked out, this time the thunder essence flowed out from it continuously like a stream.

"Good opportunity!"

Seeing this, how could Lin Fan miss the opportunity?

He quickly refined some storage bottles and continuously introduced the flowing thunder essence into them.

This time, it took nearly an hour for the thunder pool area to finish repairing.

But strangely, it seemed that because the lost thunder essence was huge enough, the luster of the thunder pool dimmed, and even the gestation power of the final nine-fold lightning tribulation became weak, only about five times stronger than before, and its energy could no longer hold on.

"Screech~"

A cry rang out, and the thunder pool exploded quietly at this moment. Nine thunder birds flew out from it, darting in all directions, and then attacked Lin Fan.

Clearly, this lightning tribulation also noticed that Lin Fan was not right, and also noticed that its attack was somewhat insufficient.

Precisely because of this, it manipulated the final nine-fold thunderbolts to attack separately, at least to pose some threat to Lin Fan.

"Just this?"

However, Lin Fan was dismissive at this moment.

Although the power of the final nine thunderbolts after transforming into thunder birds was indeed not to be underestimated, wanting to pose a threat to him was wishful thinking.

Especially since he was now at the Small Success stage of the Shangqing Sword Dao, such an attack was completely child's play.

Thinking of this, Lin Fan once again launched the Nine-Nine Return to One Sword Skill.

In an instant, nine Sword Qi flew out crisscrossing, directly colliding with the nine attacking thunderbolts.

Crack—

Shattering sounds continued, and the nine thunderbolts shattered rapidly.

The moment they all collapsed, the thunder pool in the sky disappeared instantly, replaced by a huge hole.

Before Lin Fan could recover, three-colored brilliance shone within the hole, and the feedback from the power of Heaven and Earth descended from the sky, directly surging into his body continuously! ===== CHAPTER 39 =====
