Chapter 96: HarvestThe next day, Ye Feng woke up from his sleep, and it was already noon.He stretched, slightly moved his muscles and bones, and felt the spirit power inside his body.Last night, he was physically and mentally exhausted. Before he even had time to feel the changes in his body, he had fallen fast asleep.First, through the baptism of the lightning tribulation, all six of his spirit rings broke through to the hundred-thousand-year level. The feedback brought by this allowed his physique, spirit power, and mental force to make significant progress.The enhancement effect of his Spirit Ability also received a leap-like improvement.On the other hand, after a year's interval, his spirit power rank finally ushered in a breakthrough.He directly broke through five consecutive levels, reaching a 70th-rank Spirit Saint.This was all thanks to the pure and vast natural energy in the lightning tribulation, which allowed him to cultivate without any scruples, devouring it like a whale.In fact, only he could do this.Tough meridians, a consolidated foundation, and a formidable physique—none of these three could be omitted.Lacking any one of them, at best his spirit power would be floating and his foundation unstable; at worst, his soul would scatter and he would perish completely.Ye Feng raised his right hand and spread his palm, where pale purple electric arcs danced in the center of his palm.Having survived the lightning tribulation and generated lightning patterns on his spirit core, it was not strange that he could control the lightning element, except..."Is the color of my lightning a bit too pale?"Actually, it wouldn't matter if the color was a bit pale; there were plenty of bizarre types of lightning on the Douluo Continent.What truly concerned him was the power of the lightning in his palm. Even without releasing it, he could feel its violent and formidable nature.Compared at the same spirit power level, the power of the pale purple lightning was even above Ultimate Ice and Ultimate Fire.Moreover, there was a familiar aura within this bolt of pale purple lightning.It was extremely similar to the lightning tribulation he had experienced not long ago—very faint, but it truly existed.His lightning was tainted with the aura of the Heavenly Dao's tribulation lightning. Even if it was just a trace, it was enough for him to benefit endlessly."Being struck nine times can bring such a harvest. If I am struck a few more times, perhaps my lightning will have the chance to completely transform into the Heavenly Dao's tribulation lightning..."There was no help for it; since the harvest from the lightning tribulation was so lucrative, Ye Feng couldn't help but be tempted.Moreover, there were quite a few hundred-thousand-year-old Spirit Beasts trapped by the heavenly tribulation. Perhaps he could take this opportunity to scheme something.Of course, all of this was talk for later. Right now, the most important thing was to hurry on his way.Ye Feng flew into the air, took out the map, confirmed the general direction, then landed back on the ground and walked toward the outside of the forest.For the rest of the journey, he traveled day and night, finally arriving at the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest half a month later.Just at this moment, the space in front of Ye Feng was suddenly torn open with a crack, and a pitch-black dragon claw shining with a chilly, piercing light shot out from it.His pupils suddenly contracted, his body leaned back, and he used strength in his legs to dodge past it.The person who made the move seemed to have anticipated it long ago, and the dragon claw retracted.At the same time, the space behind Ye Feng tore apart, and another dragon claw reached out from within. Failing to dodge in time, he was precisely grabbed in the center of its palm.Before he could break free, he was dragged into the space crack by the dragon claw, leaving only broken footprints in place.The entire process was extremely rapid, taking less than a second....Ye Feng was dragged into the space crack, but he did not lose his vision; he could still see the scenery of the outside world.Giant trees, lakes, and even the ashes left behind from his roasted meat.All kinds of scenery flashed backward rapidly in his eyes, getting faster and faster, their forms gradually blurring and turning into colorful lines, like a fleeting shadow.Until a certain instant, the scenery in front of his eyes contracted. Ye Feng lowered his head, and the dragon claw that originally grabbed him had already vanished without a trace. Looking around, he discovered that he had arrived beside a clear lake, with soft green grass under his feet and a rich aura of life pervading the air.The scenery was breathtakingly beautiful, but Ye Feng had no heart to admire it. With a solemn gaze and a vigilant expression, he looked around his surroundings.A pitch-black dragon claw, formidable strength, the Star Dou Great Forest.Almost the moment he saw the dragon claw, he realized the identity of the attacker.What puzzled him was why Di Tian would make a move against him.'Er, well, it should be because of the Spirit Beast's fortune.''...However, he shouldn't have any malicious intent. The dragon claw before was just trying to bring me here and didn't mean to harm me.'Just as Ye Feng was pondering, a deep and majestic voice came from behind him."Human, the scenery here isn't bad, right?"Ye Feng turned around, just meeting those majestic golden pupils. He looked Di Tian up and down, appropriately revealing a bit of vigilance in his eyes."Who are you, Your Excellency? Why did you bring me here?""My name is Di Tian, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, the true ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest."Ye Feng's pupils slightly constricted, and he exclaimed in surprise:"You are a Spirit Beast? Or a True Dragon? But why are you in human form?"Di Tian's expression did not change, his dragon eyes staring fixedly at Ye Feng the entire time. After watching for a long time without saying a word, he finally spoke after a long while:"Human, put away your clumsy acting. I can tell that you recognize me."Ye Feng's face stiffened, and subsequently, he sighed.He originally loathed deception and wasn't good at lying.His acting skills were even more mediocre; he could only fool ordinary people, but he could definitely not fool the old and crafty Di Tian.The next second, Ye Feng's expression returned to calm, and in an indifferent tone, he said:"I do indeed know you, Di Tian, but I cannot tell you the reason.""Let's drop this topic here. Now returning to the main point, what do you want with me?"His words were quite tough, and he also had the qualification to speak like that.Di Tian's strength was very strong, even above a Limit Douluo, but Ye Feng was not weak either.He couldn't beat Di Tian, but if he wanted to escape, he could still run away. By then, he would fly in the direction of Spirit City to find Qian Daoliu; he didn't believe Di Tian would dare to chase after him.A trace of strange color flashed through Di Tian's eyes, but he didn't pursue the matter too much either, saying in a deep voice:"The Auspicious Beast has informed me of everything she knows. I am looking for you because of the matter regarding the Spirit Beast's fortune."Ye Feng secretly thought to himself as expected; only the Spirit Beast's fortune could make him take action personally.Before he could even speak, Di Tian laid out all his understanding of fortune.Ye Feng's brain was a bit dazed, and he asked somewhat uncertainly:"You're saying that I will do a big thing in the future, and this matter will change the future of the Spirit Beast clan?""You trust me, a human, just like that."Hearing this, a trace of helplessness flashed in Di Tian's eyes. He could not control the direction of the Spirit Beast's fortune, and in order not to let the fortune go to waste, he could only trust Ye Feng.Seeing Di Tian fall silent, Ye Feng also figured out the reason and fell silent along with him.In the end, it was Ye Feng who broke the silence first."According to what you said, you didn't need to bring me here, nor do you even need to show yourself.""You could completely stand by and watch without interfering in anything.""Anyway, I will do that thing no matter what."Di Tian shook his head, turned to look at the Lake of Life, and said in a deep voice:"If it were any other time period, it would be possible, but this time point right now is very special."
