Immortality Starts With Diligence(Xianxia Litrpg)

537. Transcending All Nine Heavenly Thunders!

Lin Fei was fully prepared. When the eighth thunder struck him, the Saber World's light flickered briefly. Facing a thunder with the might to shatter the void, a "True Monarch level" force, his Saber World offered no resistance and shattered instantly. The thunderous force broke through the Saber World and hit Lin Fei's physical body directly.

Lin Fei's physical particles were strong, but facing a True Monarch level thunder, half of them were obliterated in an instant.

"Pop."

Almost fifty percent of his physical particles were annihilated.

"Boom."

The power of Lin Fei's 2,600 particle worlds erupted, along with the strength of his physical particles, overwhelming the eighth thunder. The two forces clashed continuously.

Gradually, the remnants of the thunderous force within Lin Fei's body dissipated. Matching a "True Monarch level" force, Lin Fei's physical body proved to be stronger. Thus, he withstood the eighth thunder!

This scene, witnessed by all, did not bring them joy but rather a sense of solemnity. They had anticipated Lin Fei could withstand the eighth thunder. Even a True Monarch level thunder paled in comparison to Lin Fei's strength after acquiring the origins of one hundred and three small worlds. He was no ordinary True Monarch. Now, their focus was on one thing: Could Lin Fei transcend the ninth thunder? What would happen if he did?

In history, there has never been a record of a Martial God transcending the ninth heavenly thunder, nor what changes it might bring. Therefore, no one knew what would happen once the ninth thunder was transcended, or if anything would happen at all. This uncertainty fueled everyone's anticipation. However, whether Lin Fei would attempt to transcend the ninth thunder was unknown.

At this moment, Lin Fei was indeed weighing his options. He had just checked his condition. Although it seemed like fifty percent of his particles were annihilated, his physical body's recovery ability had greatly improved. Even the obliterated particles could be restored in the blink of an eye. Still, attempting the ninth thunder remained risky. No one knew how terrifying it would be.

Historically, no one had ever withstood all nine thunders in one tribulation. Should Lin Fei manage to do so, to completely transcend a tribulation, he was eager to discover what changes it might bring. Thus, he was tempted to try.

"Let it be, such an opportunity is rare. It's not easy to obtain the origins of one hundred and three small worlds. If I don't dare to invoke the ninth thunder after absorbing so many origins, I probably won't have any hope of doing so in the future. I must try, no matter what!"

Lin Fei made up his mind. Despite the risks, he felt the venture was necessary. Moreover, he was not the same as before. Even if the ninth thunder was unexpectedly powerful, it would be difficult to annihilate him completely. After all, he was now a True Monarch, a Martial Dao True Monarch at that, not so easily destroyed. Having made his decision, Lin Fei had no reason to hesitate any longer.

"Let's begin."

Lin Fei took a deep breath and once again plunged his consciousness into the sea of origin, seizing a law. This time, he seized approximately nine laws in one go, almost the limit of laws that can be obtained in a single tribulation. At most, one can only obtain nine laws in a tribulation.

"Boom."

The next moment, the ninth thunder was invoked. The ninth thunder, like the eighth, was fleeting, with unimaginable speed, virtually invisible to the naked eye. Lin Fei's Saber World was condensed to the extreme, not even covering his entire body but focused into a cluster over his head, since the thunder struck from above. Concentrating the Saber World's power to its peak was his strategy, but even at its zenith, it seemed futile.

Lin Fei saw a flash of lightning in the void, followed by a massive crack. This was another shattering of the void, proof that the ninth thunder was also a "True Monarch level" thunder, with destructive power far exceeding the eighth.

"Pop."

The thunder struck, and Lin Fei's concentrated Saber World, attempting to block the ninth thunder, disintegrated instantly, almost "effortlessly shattered."

Then, the ninth thunder struck Lin Fei's physical body. At that instant, Lin Fei acted. His 2,600 particle worlds erupted powerfully, like a massive torrent, colliding with the ninth thunder.

This was Lin Fei's utmost effort, deploying all his methods to withstand the ninth thunder. The eruption of 2,600 particle worlds was indeed earth-shattering, but a single thunderous light tore through Lin Fei's defense, shattering his torrential outburst. Although this significantly weakened the thunder, a substantial amount of its power remained.

This remaining thunderous energy began annihilating Lin Fei's physical particles. Despite Lin Fei's physical particles possessing True Monarch strength, they were rapidly obliterated. However, during this process, the thunderous energy also depleted significantly. It became a pure contest of attrition.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight...

In a blink, Lin Fei's physical body suffered a loss of eighty percent of its particles. Yet, the power of the heavenly thunder was not fully exhausted. It seemed there was still a significant amount of thunderous energy left, enough to obliterate Lin Fei's remaining twenty percent of physical particles.

For a moment, Lin Fei appeared to be in deep crisis. However, at that instant, he took a deep breath and commanded firmly, "Physical recovery!"

Following his command, the remaining twenty percent of his particles visibly began to replicate at an astonishing rate. One after another, Lin Fei's particle count rapidly increased.

Three, four, five, six, seven, eight...

Almost instantly, his physical particles had recovered to eighty percent of their original level. Even as the remaining thunderous energy erupted, furiously attempting to obliterate Lin Fei's physical particles, Lin Fei's particle count remained around fifty percent, even after the last trace of thunderous energy was spent.

This demonstrated Lin Fei's formidable strength, or rather, the power of a True Monarch. Compared to Void Transformation True Monarchs, Martial Dao True Monarchs' main disadvantage lies in their survivability. However, Martial True Monarchs have their strengths, notably in recovery.

After becoming a True Monarch, Lin Fei discovered that each of his particles possessed incredibly robust vitality. They could replicate up to ten times instantaneously. Even if only ten percent of his particles remained, he could quickly recover. As long as the opponent couldn't obliterate his particles instantly, his ability to replicate would keep him alive.

However, if the thunderous energy could annihilate particles faster than Lin Fei could regenerate them, it could still obliterate him completely. Unfortunately for the thunder, the last bit of its energy was insufficient to fully annihilate Lin Fei's particles.

Therefore, when the last bit of thunderous energy dissipated, Lin Fei sensed something and looked up. He felt that something unusual might be happening after transcending the ninth thunder.

The sea of origin seemed to be brewing something.
