Chapter 53

It cannot be denied that Lei Ao, the outstanding disciple of Biyun Peak, was truly astonishing with his Five Thunders Righteous Technique. Lightning as thick as fingers crackled, instantly enveloping Gu Fei.

More than half of the arena was covered by the power of lightning, leaving Gu Fei with no place to hide.

"Hmph!" A cold laugh echoed from within the web of lightning and fire. Amid the shocked gazes of the crowd, Gu Fei did not dodge at all; he let the fire lightning from above and the earth lightning from below directly strike his body.

The Taixuan Sect disciples watching from below immediately cried out in alarm. This was simply too crazy. Could Gu Fei really dare to use his flesh and blood to resist the power of lightning?

The Five Thunders Righteous Technique is a genuine heavenly thunder technique. By forming the hand seals and channeling his magical power, one can summon the true power of heaven and earth's lightning. The power of lightning is a violent and destructive force in the world. If an ordinary person is struck, they would instantly turn into charcoal, which is extremely terrifying.

To others, Gu Fei's action was no different from seeking death!

"Ugh!" The power of lightning instantly engulfed Gu Fei. The powerful current invaded his flesh and blood, mercilessly destroying the sensitive nerves in his body. The violent force traveled through his muscles and bones, causing him to let out painful roars.

"This... " Lei Ao, seeing this, was taken aback. He found it hard to believe what he was seeing. His opponent, Gu Fei, did not resist and directly used his body to withstand the power of lightning. Was he mad?

"Trouble! This guy is courting death, and I can't be blamed. But if he dies by my hand, I will also be in trouble." After a moment of shock, Lei Ao was startled again.

The Nine Meridians Examination, the arena battles, do not involve life or death, only victory or defeat. Accidentally injuring someone is understandable, but if someone is killed, there will be no question of right or wrong, and punishment will be unavoidable.

Thinking of this, Lei Ao hurriedly tried to withdraw his thunder technique. However, at this moment, from within the blinding sphere of lightning on the arena, Gu Fei's voice was heard.

"Good... Ow... Five Thunders Righteous Technique... Not bad... Ow... Unfortunately... It's not strong enough!" Despite being caught between the fire lightning from the south and the earth lightning from the center, Gu Fei was still able to speak, which left everyone in disbelief.

"You... actually say my lightning technique is not strong enough?" Lei Ao's movement to withdraw the technique paused, and a cold expression immediately appeared on his face. He gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Fine, I'll risk the sect's punishment and strike you, this arrogant fool, to death!"

As he spoke, Lei Ao chanted a spell and continuously formed the Five Thunders hand seals. As the mysterious hand seals formed on his hands, the sky above the arena darkened, and the signs of a storm were evident. Then, thunder roared from the four directions of the sky, and endless lightning surged down, with golden streaks dancing and striking Gu Fei on the arena.

The spectators below, seeing the power of heaven and earth, immediately cried out in alarm and retreated. They did not want to be caught in the crossfire. The power of lightning was no joke; if they were struck by the lightning emanating from the arena, although they might not die, they would certainly be injured.

"Rumble..." Instantly, the sky above the first arena was filled with thunder, shaking the heavens and the earth. The entire arena shook violently. If it were not protected by magical power, it would have collapsed long ago.

All eyes in the square were drawn to the scene. Everyone was shocked. Lei Ao was truly ruthless, using all five thunders at once, clearly aiming to make Gu Fei suffer, leaving no room for mercy.

The five-colored lightning surged and intertwined on the arena, forming a massive sphere of lightning that trapped Gu Fei inside, bombarding him relentlessly, a sight that was both shocking and terrifying. The blinding light from the lightning made it difficult for everyone to look directly.

Inside the sphere of lightning, Gu Fei's roars of anger continued, but his cries of pain did not weaken. They even seemed to drown out the sound of the lightning, creating an extremely震撼的场面.

At the front of the Taixuan Hall, the Daoist Xuantian, seated on his throne, could not help but frown slightly. His gaze, sharp as lightning, penetrated the void, clearly seeing Gu Fei, who appeared to be in a frenzy, trapped within the five-colored sphere of lightning.

Millions of lightning bolts surrounded Gu Fei, traveling through his entire body, inside and out, coursing through his muscles and bones. The immense power of lightning even penetrated through his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, making him seem like a god of lightning, a spirit within the lightning.

"Good boy, he is actually using the power of the five elements of lightning to refine his body, truly daring!" When the powerful divine consciousness of Daoist Xuantian swept over Gu Fei's body within the five-colored sphere, he immediately noticed the unusual state of Gu Fei.

At this moment, the other seven sect leaders also showed a hint of surprise, clearly having noticed Gu Fei's unusual state.

It turned out that the reason Gu Fei did not resist Lei Ao's thunder technique was to refine his physical body. He was confident that with his powerful body at the seventh level of Awakening, he could withstand the lightning power released by a young expert like Lei Ao.

In the midst of countless lightning bolts, Gu Fei roared and screamed continuously. The sound that erupted from his throat shook the entire square, leaving the spectators below in awe and fear.

According to legend, when the ultimate cultivators on the continent break through the void and ascend to the heavens, the heavens will send down a great calamity, and this ascension calamity is the heavenly thunder calamity.

Only by enduring the heavenly thunder calamity and completely refining all the factors of the mortal world, transforming one's power into the purest divine power, and refining one's body into a divine body, can one successfully ascend.

Gu Fei was now emulating those ultimate cultivators, enduring the baptism of lightning, using the power of lightning to refine his body, taking a crucial step toward the indestructible treasure body.

Gu Fei's action was undoubtedly extremely bold, far beyond the understanding of the crowd. It could be described as an extremely terrifying and dangerous behavior. If Gu Fei could not withstand the power of the Five Thunders Righteous Technique, he would be turned into charcoal by the terrifying lightning filled with destructive energy.

However, from the situation, it seemed that he successfully withstood the lightning strikes. The five elemental vital energies within his body became increasingly pure as they were refined by the lightning traveling through his muscles and bones. Impurities were being refined and cleansed.

Upon inner inspection, Gu Fei found that his bones throughout his body had become as clear and lustrous as jade, emitting a faint glow, like fine iron.

The strength of his bones was already comparable to fine iron. This reckless behavior also significantly increased his cultivation. The changes in his bones indicated that he had entered the stage of bone transformation.

At the peak of the seventh level of Awakening, the transformation of bone marrow and blood is complete. If he breaks through to the eighth level of Awakening, it is the stage of bone transformation, where the entire body's bones begin to transform.

If his flesh and blood were also renewed, Gu Fei would break through a major realm in cultivation, entering the Transcendent Realm. How powerful a warrior in the Transcendent Realm is, and what kind of divine abilities they possess, Gu Fei did not know, but they were undoubtedly terrifying beings.
