Billions of lightning bolts descended from the sky, relentlessly striking the position where Chu Feng stood.
Under such an onslaught, almost everyone believed Chu Feng had surely been obliterated.
Thus, they were puzzled.
If Chu Feng had already been reduced to ashes, why did the lightning continue to attack his position?
And why was the assault growing increasingly ferocious?
In their confusion, the crowd’s gazes remained fixed on Chu Feng’s location, unwavering.
As a result, no one noticed that the humanoid glowing entity in the clouds had lowered its head, as if it too were watching Chu Feng’s position.
In fact, it was indeed doing so.
A gaze shot from the eyes of the humanoid glowing entity, landing precisely on Chu Feng’s location.
However, this gaze was too subtle for anyone to detect, not even Chu Feng.
The gaze was lofty, like a deity looking down on mere mortals.
Moreover, it carried a hint of mockery.
It was as if the bombardment of Chu Feng was the price for challenging it.
And it was punishing Chu Feng.
But suddenly, the gaze changed.
The entity, previously so aloof, now showed extreme shock and fear in its eyes.
Yet, after the fear, joy emerged in its gaze.
Rumble—
Suddenly, the thunder tribulation changed again.
The billions of lightning bolts, as if drawn by a powerful force, were pulled from the clouds, rushing toward the same direction.
That place was precisely where Chu Feng stood.
Because the lightning was so abundant, the scene persisted for a while before the lightning in the clouds completely vanished.
When all the lightning disappeared, people could see a figure in Chu Feng’s direction.
This figure was wrapped in billions of lightning bolts.
Though his appearance was unclear, the aura was unmistakably Chu Feng’s.
“Chu Feng, he’s still alive?”
The crowd’s eyes widened, filled with astonishment.
The billions of lightning bolts soon fully merged into Chu Feng’s body.
His physical form appeared intact before everyone’s eyes.
At this moment, Chu Feng was completely unharmed.
Not a single injury marred him.
“How is this possible?”
“How could he remain unscathed under such a powerful lightning assault?”
The crowd found it unbelievable.
In truth, even Chu Feng himself found it incomprehensible.
Before challenging the thunder tribulation, Chu Feng had used his barrier technique to transform into lightning.
This was not an attempt to deceive the tribulation and avoid its attack.
Chu Feng knew how formidable the thunder tribulation was. His barrier technique could not possibly fool it.
Especially since the cultivation treasure, as Chu Feng had discerned, possessed life.
With such a sentient entity staring directly at him, how could Chu Feng deceive it?
However, his actions were indeed meant to create a deception.
The lightning Chu Feng conjured was also attacking his own body.
It even struck his soul, allowing both his body and soul to endure lightning attacks, leaving no gaps.
This way, when the thunder tribulation descended, it would only strike his body.
Even if it could harm his soul, it would not be enough to kill him.
After all, his body was already filled with lightning attacking him.
Of course, Chu Feng also knew the power of the thunder tribulation.
Despite having a strategy to mitigate it, he could not guarantee success.
If not for the dire circumstances, Chu Feng would never have challenged the tribulation.
When he did, everything unfolded as he had anticipated. The thunder tribulation was terrifying.
Even though his body was filled with conjured lightning, the tribulation still penetrated, attacking his soul.
The attack was ferocious.
Under its relentless assault, Chu Feng even felt the threat of death.
In mere moments, he lost consciousness.
Yet when he awoke, he found not only was he alive, but he felt no pain. The injuries he had just suffered had healed.
Even Chu Feng himself did not know why he was unscathed.
Nor did he understand what had happened.
“No, something’s wrong with my body.”
Suddenly, Chu Feng’s expression changed drastically.
He discovered a significant change within his dantian.
“Look, the cultivation treasure is gone!”
Suddenly, someone in the Purple Star Otherworld pointed at the clouds above, exclaiming.
Almost everyone then noticed that not only had the billions of lightning bolts vanished from the clouds, but the legendary cultivation treasure was also gone.
Thus, all eyes turned to Chu Feng.
He had withstood the thunder tribulation’s assault.
By rights, he should have obtained the cultivation treasure.
Moreover, the billions of lightning bolts had almost entirely surged into his body.
It was highly likely that the cultivation treasure had entered his body along with the lightning.
In truth, the crowd’s guess was correct.
Chu Feng’s shock stemmed from the fact that his dantian was now filled with billions of lightning bolts.
Most importantly, the humanoid glowing entity was also within his dantian.
The billions of lightning bolts, like guardians, surrounded the humanoid glowing entity.
“I can’t believe I actually succeeded.”
“I challenged the thunder tribulation and succeeded?”
“But how did I succeed?”
Chu Feng himself did not know how he had succeeded.
Clearly, he had been unable to withstand the lightning’s assault and was on the verge of death.
Regardless, Chu Feng was overjoyed.
He could imagine the power of this cultivation treasure.
Thus, ignoring the crowd’s astonished gazes, he quickly used his sensory power, projecting it into his dantian to observe the humanoid glowing entity.
He wanted to see what capabilities this cultivation treasure possessed.
But to his shock, his sensory power could not penetrate the billions of lightning bolts, let alone observe the humanoid glowing entity.
“It seems this thing is not easy to handle.”
Seeing this, Chu Feng’s earlier elation turned to disappointment.
Undoubtedly, the humanoid glowing entity was the legendary cultivation treasure of the Purple Star Otherworld.
But if he could not harness it, its presence in his dantian was meaningless.
It was like the Divine Tree Seed.
That seed not only failed to help Chu Feng break through in cultivation, but whenever the lightning beast in his body tried to refine it, their struggle would cause his cultivation to regress.
Thus, Chu Feng knew that if a treasure, no matter how powerful, could not be used, it was meaningless in his body.
“Hehe, I didn’t expect that your body, little one, not only has a guardian formation but also such a treasure.”
At that moment, Chu Feng heard a woman’s voice coming from within his dantian.
The voice came from the humanoid glowing entity.
Moreover, Chu Feng could see that the humanoid glowing entity was staring at the Divine Tree Seed.
Then, he noticed the billions of lightning bolts moving to envelop the Divine Tree Seed.
Soon, they reached the seed.
Transforming into countless giant lightning hands, they attacked the seed.
“Argh—”
At that moment, Chu Feng felt as if his dantian and soul were about to shatter.
In excruciating pain, he let out a agonised scream.
But what unsettled him most was his realisation that the so-called cultivation treasure was something terrifying.
Not only did it possess life, but it had entered his body with its own purpose.
And that purpose did not seem to be to help Chu Feng.
It was more like it intended to seize his power!!!
