Perfect World: I Am Eternal

Chapter 456 The Holy Emperor Reappears
This is a terrifying thing. If the lightning fails to be absorbed and the building is destroyed, it means that the person will be crippled.

Especially during the Heavenly Tribulation, the endless lightning strikes are extremely dangerous, and the slightest carelessness will result in the destruction of both body and soul!

Therefore, he quickly suppressed, resolved, and healed the wounds, doing everything in his power to prevent his inner world from collapsing.

Then, he used his physical body to withstand the lightning from the sky, once again under the heavenly tribulation, and suffered repeated severe injuries.

"puff!"

Lin Fan coughed up large amounts of blood, his body covered in bloody holes, but there was nothing he could do. He could only hope to pull through.

However, because his actions just now were very bold and defied the heavens, using the tribulation of lightning to achieve his own ends.

As a result, the lightning is now even more intense, as if it has angered the heavens and is about to destroy him in one fell swoop.

Lin Fan tried his best, but his body was still riddled with holes, and some bone fragments were scattered everywhere, making him look extremely miserable.

"Ah... Am I going to die here? I'm so unwilling!" he cried out bitterly, trying his best to get out of the predicament.

However, he was helpless and couldn't think of any other way. His energy and spirit were weakening, his will was wavering, and he felt powerless to turn the tide.

"No, I have to get through this!" Lin Fan's eyes shone brightly as he persisted, unwilling and unable to give up.

As long as he has a breath left and lives in this world, he will fight against God to the very end.

At the same time, he felt that he was too passive, had not shown any ambition, and was always thinking of avoiding things.

"Come and fight! Heaven may take my life, but I will slay the heart of Heaven!"

Lin Fan roared, completely going all out. His sonic waves drowned out the thunder, and his weakened momentum surged.

At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind: to defeat the divine punishment and sweep everything away, rather than passively accepting it.

His eyes shone brightly, and he believed that the tribulation was nothing special and that he could definitely win this battle and overcome the difficulties.

Although Lin Fan's body is now broken, his will is incredibly strong, and the golden blood in his withered body is boiling.

At the same moment, he unleashed a variety of techniques, wielding the Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Art, constantly clashing with the descending lightning.

But this only allowed him to last a little longer before his aura weakened again, and death filled the air.

Lin Fan was panting heavily, having fought to the point of madness. If it weren't for his strong will and the fact that he was holding on by a breath, he probably would have collapsed already.

"You're rushing things, trying to achieve everything in one step; you're destined to fail." Just then, that indifferent voice rang out, as if offering a warning.

He revealed the fundamental principle: one must take the body as the seed and proceed step by step, just as one must first have the key to unlock the power of the treasure and fight against it.

"Is that so?" Lin Fan woke up with a start, glanced at his abdomen, and realized that he had indeed been too hasty and gone astray.

The physical body has not yet attained enlightenment, the primordial spirit has not yet returned to oneness, and the true self has not yet evolved, yet one thinks of creating laws; this is truly overestimating one's abilities.

It's like an ordinary baby who's still learning to crawl but wants to start running; it's no wonder they fall.

"To hell with the Heavenly Tribulation, to hell with the Creation of Laws!"

Lin Fan immediately cursed and stopped maintaining his inner world, because if he continued to suffer like this, he was destined to be killed.

"Hey!"

In an instant, the inner world vanished, transforming back into the Unique Cave Heaven. Three streams of immortal energy empowered him, enabling him to engage in battle.

Sure enough, he not only became stronger, but the lightning also subsided a bit, no longer so eerie and dense.

"Hmm, the power of the lightning has decreased, there's hope."

Lin Fan was surprised and felt that he should no longer force himself to create a new technique in one step. The tribulations sent down by the heavens were changing and would not be so terrifying.

Is this a warning to me?

At this moment, he withstood the lightning and guided it, circulating the Undying Scripture and the Supreme Bone to reforge his body. At his level, while he couldn't claim to be reborn from a drop of blood, growing new limbs was still achievable.

Furthermore, the bone fragments that had been struck by lightning were all drawn back by his magic and returned to their original positions.

"Qiang!"

With a phoenix cry, Lin Fan transformed into an immortal divine phoenix, his body engulfed in raging flames and bursting with crimson light, undergoing nirvana there.

It can be seen that his wounds are healing rapidly, and the blood he had coughed up is flowing back and seeping into his skin.

In an instant, his blood and energy surged again, becoming strong and vigorous.

This is the True Phoenix Technique, which claims that as long as one has a breath left, one can be reborn and come back to life.

Although the lightning was still terrifying, causing him to splatter blood and his body to shatter, it also gave rise to a rich vitality, making up for the damage.

"I... survived." Lin Fan held on, finally seeing a glimmer of hope.

In the end, the lightning weakened, and he opened his mouth and swallowed a dense bolt of lightning to strengthen his bones and replenish his body.

After being tempered and refined, all the cracks on his body eventually closed, and some debris fell off, which were the impurities that had been expelled.

After an unknown amount of time, the lightning finally stopped, and tranquility returned. Lin Fan not only survived but also completed a trial.

His skin was as clear and smooth as jade, and he could feel himself getting stronger, as if he had stepped into the next great realm.

Clearly, this is the result of unlocking the treasures of the physical body, but it is also a cruel test of life and death.

Therefore, Lin Fan sat cross-legged under the Myriad Dao Tree for a very long time without moving, deep in thought.

A divine punishment, an unprecedented tribulation of lightning, came suddenly and faded away just as strangely!
Lin Fan's heart pounded; he had almost perished. If it weren't for that voice reminding him, the situation would have been extremely dangerous.

An unprecedented calamity. The ancients often said that the will of Heaven is unpredictable, and this was indeed true. The punishment of lightning was unstoppable.

Just as he was pondering, the Samsara symbol on his hand flickered faintly, and a white light flew out from within it without his knowledge.

As for the entire metal stele, there were some subtle changes as well, with the Holy Emperor's imprint solidifying again, but Lin Fan did not notice it.

……

Outside, a large number of people gathered at the Heavenly God Academy because the commotion caused by the lightning tribulation was so great that it naturally attracted a lot of attention.

"Someone is undergoing tribulation inside the forbidden area!" This was everyone's first thought.

"Who went in? Isn't that where the Holy Emperor left his legacy?" someone asked, puzzled.

It should be noted that not just anyone can enter that place; only heroes with three strands of immortal energy are allowed, and the mortality rate is extremely high.

"By the way, it seems the Little Holy Emperor went in and hasn't come out yet."

"But what exactly did he do? Did he bring about this heavenly calamity?"

A group of people were puzzled, but unfortunately they could not get close. Meng Tianzheng had already set up a boundary wall inside, making it impossible for outsiders to explore.

However, everyone sensed that something extraordinary was happening inside; thunder rumbled and the sound was extremely loud, making it impossible to hide.

"What a commotion! It must have been done by the Little Holy Emperor. You know, the Heavenly God Academy hasn't even started enrolling students yet, so there aren't any geniuses that strong."

An elder made a judgment.

Just then, deep within the Heavenly God Academy, Meng Tianzheng, who was meditating and fishing, suddenly opened his sharp eyes.

He stared at the figure that had suddenly appeared before him, his old face filled with disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Old Meng, it's been a long time," the newcomer said.
