After Ye Yunfei made his decision, he immediately sent Sound Transmissions to everyone on his side.
"Everyone, come to me now, then enter my Phantom Tower."
Upon receiving Ye Yunfei's transmission, everyone was stunned for a moment, but then they did as he instructed, fighting and retreating at the same time.
Ye Yunfei had one of his Clones wait at the edge of the tribulation range. Soon, all his allies had gathered beside this Clone.
"What are they trying to do?" The Demigod experts on the opposing side felt somewhat puzzled as they watched Ye Yunfei's people fight and retreat, finally gathering at the edge of the lightning tribulation. They believed that to protect Ye Yunfei's tribulation crossing, these defenders should be blocking their advance, yet they were continuously retreating.
"They might have reached their limit! Let's charge forward together, combine our strength, and kill Ye Yunfei!" An Advanced Demigod shouted loudly.
Then, fifty or sixty Demigod experts charged towards Ye Yunfei together. With no one blocking them this time, they swiftly rushed to Ye Yunfei's surroundings.
"Let's attack together! I refuse to believe that so many of us can't kill just one man!" another Advanced Demigod bellowed.
By this time, Ye Yunfei's Clone had already teleported all of his allies, one by one, into the Phantom Tower. The primary goal of the opposing Demigod experts was to interrupt Ye Yunfei's tribulation. Now that Hu Miao and Huang Shang and the others were voluntarily retreating, those Demigod experts did not pursue them. Instead, they focused their target on Ye Yunfei, who was undergoing the tribulation. Thus, Hu Miao and Huang Shang and the others smoothly entered the Phantom Tower.
"Excellent. All of you, come here," Ye Yunfei said coldly, casting a glance at the Demigod experts charging towards him.
Then, with a flash of his figure, he shot upwards towards the black, oppressive tribulation clouds overhead.
Moreover, in the process, Ye Yunfei swiftly unleashed his various cultivation techniques and secret arts, exerting his full power to launch a ferocious attack on the tempestuous heavenly tribulation above him.
Ye Yunfei's move immediately stunned everyone present.
"That kid is actually actively attacking the tribulation! What's he doing? Does he think his Lightning Tribulation isn't powerful enough?" someone couldn't help but exclaim.
Generally, when living beings underwent tribulations, they hoped the power of their tribulation would be weaker and its duration shorter. Therefore, actively provoking the tribulation was unheard of. Ye Yunfei's actions were unprecedented and incomprehensible.
Boom…
How fast were Ye Yunfei's movements? Even amidst the rolling thunder, he charged into the thick tribulation clouds above in the blink of an eye.
Boom…
At this moment, this vast sea of lightning grew utterly enraged, boiling over instantly. The thick bolts of lightning that had been lurking within the sea of thunder all began to frenzy and rage wildly. Densely packed bolts of lightning, like dazzling dragons, swarmed Ye Yunfei from all directions.
In an instant, Ye Yunfei felt the power of his Lightning Tribulation increase by more than tenfold. Not only did the number of lightning bolts multiply, but their power also rose sharply.
Previously, the lightning strikes hitting Ye Yunfei's body had caused hardly any damage, as his physique had fused with a large batch of Demigod-level treasures, making it incredibly tough. But now, struck by these enhanced bolts, he felt waves of stinging pain. Crackling sounds erupted as if his flesh were being roasted over fire, continuously smoking and even emitting a charred meaty scent.
Even more terrifyingly, Ye Yunfei realized the number of lightning bolts was still increasing, and their power was still rising.
Boom…
The entire vast sea of lightning resembled a pot of boiling water, roaring to the heavens. Endless, thick, dense bolts of lightning continuously blasted towards Ye Yunfei from all sides.
Soon, Ye Yunfei's clothes and hair were completely burned away. The skin on the surface of his body began to char black, emitting smoke. The pain Ye Yunfei felt grew more intense by the moment.
"So this is the consequence of actively provoking the Lightning Tribulation," Ye Yunfei couldn't help but murmur with a bitter smile.
By now, Ye Yunfei had long since retrieved the Thunder Beast, fearing that if this continued, the beast he had worked so hard to cultivate to its current strength might be destroyed within this terrifying tribulation.
Boom…
By this point, this entire stretch of heaven and earth had completely boiled over. The massive lightning bolts not only attacked Ye Yunfei but also many streaked outwards in all directions.
Many of the Demigod experts who had charged over to surround Ye Yunfei were struck by lightning, instantly sent flying with skin lacerated and flesh torn, screaming in agony. The power of this level of lightning was something even Ye Yunfei's body was struggling to withstand; the physiques of those Elementary and Intermediate Demigods were even less able to resist.
"Quick, rush towards those guys. Let them experience the might of your thunder and lightning as well," Hun Lao saw this scene and immediately transmitted to Ye Yunfei.
It was Hun Lao who had proposed Ye Yunfei actively provoke the tribulation, so Hun Lao had been closely monitoring developments.
"Right. Let them experience the power of this lightning too," Ye Yunfei cast his gaze at the Demigod experts and sneered.
Then Ye Yunfei attacked again. Standing amidst the tempestuous tribulation clouds, he punched and kicked, and also summoned his magical treasures, continuously attacking the surrounding tribulation clouds and thunderbolts.
Boom…
Ye Yunfei's actions thoroughly enraged this vast sea of tribulation clouds and lightning. One earth-shattering peal of thunder after another rang out, shaking the entire world.
Massive, dazzlingly bright bolts of lightning illuminated every detail of the world.
Roar…
At this moment, something happened that made Ye Yunfei's scalp tingle. The endless bolts of lightning swarming towards him seemed to possess life force, like brilliant dragons, emitting clear, audible roars.
And soon, those lightning bolts actually transformed into the appearance of dragons—dragon heads, dragon bodies, dragon claws, lifelike—and seemed to genuinely possess vitality, continuously roaring and brandishing claws.
These vividly lifelike, seemingly living Thunder Dragons had become even more terrifying in power.
Bang! Ye Yunfei was simultaneously attacked by over a dozen Thunder Dragons, causing him to grimace in pain and be sent flying.
"This level of lightning is too terrifying!" Ye Yunfei cried out in pain.
"But it's exactly what I wanted!" Ye Yunfei glanced over at the Demigod experts watching not far away, revealing a malicious smile.
Boom…
With a wave of his hand, Ye Yunfei took out several dozen Demigod-level magic treasures, activated them all at once, and sent them blasting out in all directions, once again attacking this vast sea of tribulation clouds and lightning.
Provoked by Ye Yunfei's actions, the tribulation clouds and lightning grew even more frenzied. The turbulent thunder and lightning made everyone in the vicinity feel their scalps prickling and their hearts pounding. They instinctively and unconsciously retreated.
"It seems that kid doesn't want to live anymore, provoking the tribulation like that. It's said that the Lightning Tribulation represents the will of this Void Sea. To provoke it is to provoke the will of this Void Sea! The consequences are extremely severe!" someone shouted.
"We'd better stay farther away. That kid seems to have gone mad. We shouldn't get implicated by him," someone else said.
Just at that moment.
Whoosh!
From the roiling sea of lightning high in the sky, a figure completely bathed in dazzling arcs of lightning descended directly.
It was Ye Yunfei!
Boom…
Numerous massive Thunder Dragons followed Ye Yunfei's figure, descending towards the ground below.
Even the entire sea of tribulation clouds descended with Ye Yunfei, pressing down on the land below. Terrifying, destructive lightning energy filled the heavens and earth.
"Everyone, scatter quickly!" The Demigod experts who had been besieging Ye Yunfei moments ago now dared not get anywhere near him. They had all been quietly retreating, wanting to put distance between themselves and Ye Yunfei. Seeing him suddenly charge out from the tempestuous sea of lightning, they were all startled and sped up, trying to flee.
Whoosh!
Although Ye Yunfei was continuously assaulted by dense bolts of lightning, his entire body crackling with black smoke, his speed remained extraordinarily fast. In an instant, he closed in on several Demigod experts.
Boom…
The tempestuous thunder and lightning followed Ye Yunfei's figure, roaring forth. The dense, thick bolts of lightning instantly drowned this entire area.
Those several Demigod experts wanted to escape, but how could Ye Yunfei let them leave? With flashes of his figure, he directly attacked, forcing all of them to stop.
"No good!" The faces of those several Demigod experts drastically changed.
Ahh…
The next moment, endless bolts of lightning continuously rained down on the bodies of these Demigods. Shrieks of agony rang out one after another.
Among these several Demigods, two were Elementary Demigods. They lasted less than two breaths before their bodies were completely torn asunder by the terrifying lightning. In the end, even their Soul Bodies were blasted into nothingness by the dense lightning, utterly perishing.
Ye Yunfei didn't pause for a moment, instantly charging up to several other Demigods.
Boom…
The tempestuous thunder and lightning followed him, instantly engulfing these few Demigods as well.
Ahh…
These Demigods also began to scream.
In moments, they were nearly all dead, except for one Advanced Demigod, whose body was billowing black smoke as he fled, looking like a charred piece of wood.
"Where do you think you're running? Weren't you eager to fight me before? Come on then, let's have a proper battle now!" Ye Yunfei shouted, while unleashing various cultivation arts and martial techniques against the fleeing Advanced Demigod, simultaneously employing his movement technique. In the blink of an eye, within mere steps, he had caught up to the man's back.
Ahh…
This Advanced Demigod's body was once again submerged in the rolling thunder and lightning, screaming in agony. Without Ye Yunfei even needing to lift a hand, thick bolts of lightning continuously struck his body, which he was utterly unable to withstand. In moments, he was a wreck, on the verge of death.
Finally, this Advanced Demigod was so weakened he was barely recognizable. Ye Yunfei punched him into oblivion, his Soul Body also smashed to pieces, to be pulled into the Phantom Tower by Huang Shang for refining and absorption.
And Ye Yunfei, by now, had already caught up to another four or five Demigods.
Throughout this process, Ye Yunfei continuously attacked the roiling sea of lightning above him. This active provocation made the thunder sea in the sky relentlessly pursue Ye Yunfei, ceaselessly showering him with dense lightning, as if it wouldn't rest until it had blasted him to smithereens.
Ahh…
Those few Demigod experts caught by Ye Yunfei were scared out of their wits. But Ye Yunfei's speed was far too fast; they simply couldn't escape and were directly submerged in the rolling thunder and lightning, accompanying Ye Yunfei in being struck. In moments, these several Demigods perished.
The current quality of Ye Yunfei's physique was, if anything, superior even to that of a Complete Demigod's. The lightning he could withstand, these Demigod experts could not.
"Run! That kid has gone mad!" The other Demigod experts witnessed Ye Yunfei's actions. Their faces paled with fear; how could they dare linger? They desperately fled for their lives.
Whoosh!
Ye Yunfei activated his movement technique and instantly caught up to another several Demigods. Simultaneously, he unleashed various techniques—including Soul Power techniques and Mental Power techniques—attacking these Demigod experts.
Their movement speed simply couldn't compare to Ye Yunfei's, and they were further hindered by his attacks.
Soon, he caught up with them, and what greeted them was the tempest of heavenly thunder. Dense cascades of lightning fell from the sky, causing these Demigods to scream in agony, instantly on the brink of death.
Ye Yunfei charged forward and punched them to death, one by one.
"Run! That kid is drunk with slaughter!" The other Demigod experts' faces were deathly pale. They desperately fled. In such circumstances, how could they still dare to besiege Ye Yunfei? They wished they could immediately leave this world and be as far away from Ye Yunfei as possible.
"All of you, go out and intercept them!" Ye Yunfei quietly teleported Hun Lao and the others out from the Phantom Tower, instructing them to conceal their forms and stealthily go block the Demigod experts who were fleeing everywhere.
"Run!" By now, the creatures spectating from afar were even more terrified, their legs turning to jelly as they ran for their lives. They feared Ye Yunfei, driven by the killing frenzy, might turn on them. After all, all it would take was for Ye Yunfei to charge towards them. He wouldn't even need to lift a hand; the tempestuous sea of thunder following him would likely blast most of them dead instantly.
For the ensuing time, Ye Yunfei, accompanied by the sea of tribulation clouds above his head, hunted down the Demigod experts who had besieged him earlier, killing more and more Demigods.
Because Ye Yunfei's movement speed was simply too fast.
And he continuously provoked the tribulation clouds and lightning sea above, keeping that sea of thunder tightly trailing his figure.
Of course, during this process, Ye Yunfei's body was being struck dreadfully by the lightning, completely transformed into a section of pitch-black, utterly unrecognizable charcoal.
"How much longer can you withstand this?" Hun Lao couldn't help asking, worried.
"Probably won't die," Ye Yunfei answered painfully.
