From the Soul Motion Machine onwards, the Mechanized Douluo

Chapter 552 The Ultimate Immortality of Form and Spirit!

Normal heavenly lightning carries a sliver of hope amidst destruction; it does not strike soul beasts to their deaths.

Chen Hong didn't know if the heavenly lightning in the Douluo Realm was like this before, but the heavenly lightning in the Douluo Realm now is the ultimate destruction and the ultimate annihilation. Everything is aimed at destruction. If it can't kill, then keep bombarding until it's destroyed!

However, Chen Hong and Ye Lingling's creative power transformed the heavenly lightning, which contained ultimate destruction, into the Awakening of Insects, which could stimulate life!

Furthermore, Chen Hong discovered within the Black Lightning of Destruction that Ye Lingling's pure life force could not fuse with the ultimate destructive power. Only the addition of his ultimate divine soul could fuse into true ultimate life force, thereby creating a strange pure white power that could be fused with the ultimate destructive power.

Although it was only a wisp, it allowed the creators of Chen Hong and Ye Lingling's fusion to stroll leisurely through the destructive heavenly lightning as if they were in their own backyard, completely relaxed and at ease!

Roar! ! !

Amidst the rolling thunder, the roars of the dragon soul belonging to the Ice and Fire Elemental Dragon King resounded continuously, demonstrating to Chen Hong and the other two what the normal tribulation process was like!

"Why...why don't we feel anything, while the Ice and Fire Dragon Soul is roaring so loudly?" The Snow Empress's somewhat puzzled voice rang out from within the Creator.

Ye Lingling said coldly, "Heavenly lightning is pounding on all of our souls, bodies, and magical power. However, right now Brother Hong is in control of everything. His martial spirit ability is protecting us, so our will and soul are separated. Our souls are being hammered by lightning, while our wills are just watching everything."

"The ice and fire dragon souls beside them were not enveloped by Brother Hong's soul power; extreme destruction was annihilating everything they had."

As Ye Lingling said, the tribulation they are undergoing now is different from the previous ones. Although the creator is controlled by Chen Hong, the power is in a state of Martial Soul Fusion, a fusion of the three of them. In other words, Chen Hong's physical body is being enhanced, and Ye Lingling and Xue Di are also benefiting. However, because Chen Hong's foundation is the weakest, the benefits he receives will be much more significant.

Conversely, Chen Hong's soul was also repeatedly bombarded by the heavenly lightning, but the strange pure white power was able to repair it to some extent. This meant that Chen Hong, who was already able to passively withstand the heavenly lightning of destruction by relying on his three souls of [True Self], [Transcendence], and [Eternity], was able to bathe in the heavenly lightning without uttering a sound!

The Ice and Fire Dragon King Soul Pearl, which was not protected by Chen Hong, fared much worse. During the tribulation, the heavenly lightning containing the will of destruction relentlessly bombarded the souls of the Ice and Fire Dragons! The two dragon souls screamed and roared incessantly.

After each strike of heavenly lightning, the Creator's aura would grow stronger, while the aura of the Ice and Fire Dragon Soul would weaken.

"That wisp of pure white power must be the power of creation born from the fusion of life and destruction, right? Creation and destruction are both forms of creation. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to restore my soul with just the lingering power of life." Amidst the thunderous roar, Chen Hong listened to the stirring symphony played by the thunder and dragon souls, and even couldn't help but withdraw his hands to clap along with the ice and fire dragon souls.

"Lingling, look, who said my Soul Annihilation Melody is useless? It's quite useful, isn't it?" Chen Hong's voice echoed in Ye Lingling and Xue Di's hearts within the Creator.

"Intelligence is also a kind of power. Although we can't remove the dragon soul left behind by the Dragon King with our own strength, we can use our intelligence to transform the power of heaven and earth into our own."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling sighed helplessly and said softly, "Alright, alright, Brother Hong is the best, are you done yet?"

Ye Lingling understood that Chen Hong was seeking revenge for the incident where the two god-level support characters were used as punching bags in the Ice and Fire Dragon King dungeon and then beaten up by the Ice and Fire Dragon Soul Guardians.

The relationship between Chen Hong and the Ice and Fire Dragon Soul is one of mutual incompetence – I can't beat you, but you can't kill me either. This is a rather frustrating situation for Chen Hong.

But now it's all good. After spending several days, we finally retrieved the Soul Orb of the Ice and Fire Dragon King. Then, the Ice and Fire Dragon Soul Guardian, carrying the Soul Orb, went to reminisce under the Black Lightning of Destruction, which had existed for seven hundred thousand years.

As I said before, play to your strengths and crush your opponent.

What are Chen Hong and Ye Lingling's strengths? It's their ultimate immortality!

Since we can't beat you anyway, fine, let's all go through the tribulation of lightning. If we're not satisfied with 700,000 years, the Evil Emperor has 800,000 years to spare! If we're still not satisfied, the Deep Sea Demon Whale has millions of years to spare!

Dragon Soul Taijun, there's bound to be one that suits you! Satisfaction guaranteed!

"How long do we need to undergo this tribulation?" Xue Di couldn't participate in the flirtatious banter between Chen Hong and Ye Lingling. She was currently in a state of "I came at the wrong time," "No, you came at the right time." However, she couldn't escape it at all, so Xue Di could only try to get to know Chen Hong and Ye Lingling.

If the Snow Empress were to escape now, she would likely perish in the destructive black lightning that would last for seven hundred thousand years, as she was completely unprepared for the tribulation. She hadn't yet gained a deep understanding of the half of the Heavenly Embryo pattern Chen Hong had given her, and therefore would be unable to seal her Ice Spirit Embryo during the tribulation and achieve a near-death escape.

"Yes, how long will this tribulation last?" Ye Lingling asked curiously.

Outside, the creator Chen Hong subconsciously looked up amidst the thunderous roar, only to be struck directly on the forehead by the lightning. His eyes were instantly blinded by the dazzling light, and he was knocked off balance, causing the seventh soul ring on his Life Lotus Ring to tremble.

Fortunately, Chen Hong quickly regained his composure, steadied himself, shook his head, and tried to restore his vision. He then reassured the two of them in his heart, "Don't worry, it's alright. If we can't get through it, we can quit halfway and start over."

"Moreover, we are in very good condition now. I originally thought that I could only withstand ten or twenty heavenly lightning strikes, but I didn't expect that my soul could also receive a little compensation. This is a very good thing for us."

What truly limits how long Chen Hong can withstand the heavenly lightning is always how long his soul will can endure. Because the combined soul power of the three is terrifying, their energy consumption is almost negligible, but the upper limit of their soul will is only that of Chen Hong alone.

Even the most perfectly harmonious fusion of martial souls in this world will be instantly broken apart if struck by lightning.

Chen Hong's ability to withstand the attack is not due to the high potential of his martial soul fusion, but rather to the extraordinary strength of his own soul will!

If Chen Hong hadn't used his soul power to shield Ye Lingling and the others, a bolt of heavenly lightning would have instantly shattered their Creator status!
