Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 196 Body Tempering with Dan Lei

Amidst the thunderous roar, two indomitable figures stood in mid-air, shielding the newly born seventh-grade elixir from the world-destroying lightning.

As expected of the powerful protective technique passed down from ancient times, the Heavenly Demon Puppet was extremely cruel, but its power was incomparably strong. When the pill lightning came to an end, both figures were raised by one star level, reaching the level of six-star Dou Zong and three-star Dou Zong respectively.

In fact, because of its lower level, that Bronze II was almost approaching the threshold of a four-star Dou Zong.

However, as the lightning gradually weakened, Lin Feng's gaze became somewhat unfocused, and a flash of inspiration struck him as he recalled his body-refining technique, "True Dragon Body Forging Technique"!

"Many of the previous transmigrators underwent tribulations to temper their bodies, and some even absorbed tribulation energy to break through to new heights," Lin Feng's gaze gradually burned with fervor, and he unconsciously swallowed.

"Now that the power of the Pill Lightning is gradually weakening, and after being weakened by the puppet, it is at most equivalent to a strike from a three-star Dou Zong. If we can bind it with the Five Elements Sealing Technique, and then use this violent Pill Lightning energy to temper our bodies, could we quickly improve our physical strength?"

Seeing that the lightning was about to disappear, Lin Feng no longer hesitated and quickly came to the side of the two puppets, clapping his hands together.

"The Five Elements Sealing Technique—Binding!"

Lin Feng slowly separated his clasped hands, and five-colored chains extended from the point where his hands met, quickly inserting themselves into the bodies of the two puppets. As soon as they entered, a powerful suction force began to absorb all the energy of the participating pill lightning that they had not yet been able to absorb.

The result was that the aura of the Copper Two, who was about to break through to the four-star Dou Zong, came to an abrupt end. If this puppet hadn't been devoid of intelligence, Lin Feng would definitely have received a few eye rolls at this moment.

The Dan Lei, equivalent to a strike from a three-star Dou Zong expert, would be easy for Lin Feng to defend against at his current level. However, the challenge now lies in containing it within a confined space, which significantly increases the difficulty.

The raging thunder is an unrestrained force, let alone now that it is so close.

Therefore, after sealing all the remaining pill lightning into the barrier in his palm, Lin Feng struggled to maintain the balance in his palm. He waved his hand at the seventh-grade pill that was floating up and down, seemingly wanting to escape but lacking spiritual energy, and put it into a jade bottle. Then he returned directly to the secret room where he had just been in seclusion.

This scene stunned the people from the Heavenly Serpent Palace who were rushing towards the location. "Could it be that there are other refining steps involved in making seventh-grade pills besides the pill lightning?"

Back in the secret chamber, Lin Feng was unaware of what these people were thinking, and had no time to care. After all, what he held in his hand was a lightning strike comparable to the full power of a three-star Dou Zong, and it was extremely unstable.

If it were to explode accidentally at such close range, even with Lin Feng's physique at the level of a mid-level sixth-order magical beast, he might still suffer serious injuries!

Of course, great crises are often accompanied by great gains. Lin Feng stared intently at the lightning in his palm, which was being constantly tempered by the Five Elements Battle Qi, and whose violent aura was gradually diminishing.

"If I can fully absorb it, my physique will at least improve to a level comparable to a top-tier sixth-tier magical beast. With good luck, it's even possible to reach a physical body comparable to a seventh-tier magical beast!"

After thinking for a moment, Lin Feng shook his head, feeling that he was being a bit greedy.

She had witnessed firsthand the difficulty of improving a magical beast's physical body through Zi Yan's experience. It's worth mentioning that a magical beast's physical body improves at the same time as its cultivation level.

Therefore, although the combat power of monsters often surpasses that of humans of the same level, each advancement in realm requires an extremely long time.

This leads to a situation where many magical beasts, after suppressing humans of the same level for a year, will enthusiastically offer their magical cores when the humans return a few years later!

Of course, this is just one small possibility; there is also a great possibility that the human race will become a pile of excrement produced by the magical beasts.

After the Five Elements Battle Qi had been circulating for about half an hour, it stopped. At this time, Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes, looked at the less violent Pill Lightning in front of him, gritted his teeth, and swallowed it into his body.

"boom"

As soon as the pill lightning entered his body, it suddenly exploded. This was because Lin Feng had deliberately preserved the paralyzing property of the pill lightning when he was refining it. Otherwise, the effect of body tempering would be reduced by more than half!

"Bang!"

Dan Lei circulated within his body, erratically rushing about as if with only one purpose: to annihilate everything in its path. Wherever it passed, Lin Feng's flesh and blood were instantly charred by the extreme heat. Fortunately, he was prepared; he swallowed a sixth-grade healing pill, and his dead flesh and blood immediately regenerated.

The alternation of death and rebirth seemed to have triggered the life-giving energy contained within the Dan Lei, which was no longer just about destruction. A strange energy was slowly released into Lin Feng's body.

As soon as this power appeared, Lin Feng felt an extreme thirst throughout his body, from cells and flesh to bone marrow and even his soul. He did not stop it, because he did not sense any harmful elements.

Moreover, the energy contained within this pill lightning could absolutely not possibly conceal any sinister or vicious curse energy. In Lin Feng's memory, there was a world called Immortal Ancient, where the lightning tribulation was indeed corrupted, but that didn't seem quite right either.

Shaking his head to banish these distracting thoughts, Lin Feng closed his eyes and began to absorb the energy of the pill lightning with all his might, attempting to elevate his physical body to a level comparable to the peak of the sixth rank.

Inside the secret chamber, it seemed completely silent and dark, with only a few flashes of terrifying electric energy emanating from Lin Feng, who sat cross-legged, bringing a glimmer of light to the chamber.

Outside the secret chamber, the many elders of the Heavenly Serpent Palace who were waiting could only shake their heads helplessly.

"It seems Master Lin Feng will be going into seclusion for quite some time again!"

"Yes, otherwise, such a joyous occasion as successfully refining a seventh-grade pill should be celebrated in a grand manner."

"."

The elders chatted amongst themselves and gradually dispersed. After a while, only the Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Palace and the First Elder, along with a few others who had reached a very high level in the Dou Zong realm or possessed extremely sharp eyesight, remained in the original spot.

"Lord of the Manor, did you notice just now that Master Lin Feng actually sealed away that pill lightning energy at the end?"

"Yes, I just saw that too, and I'm sure you all have the same question."

The Lord of the Heavenly Serpent Palace slowly stroked his beard, his tone ethereal, lost in memories.

"This situation is actually somewhat similar to a record I once came across."
