Chapter 111: Tribulation Lightning Equivalent to the Magnitude of a Second-Tier God?!
The powder from the last piece of Ten Thousand Years of Mysterious Ice Marrow in Xue Di's palm had not yet been scattered by the biting cold wind when a surge of extreme cold, far more majestic and pure than before, erupted from her body like a slumbering ancient ice dragon awakening!
"Buzz—!"
It wasn't a loud noise, but a resonant vibration originating from the Life Origin and the laws of heaven and earth.
With the ice peak where Xue Di sat cross-legged as the center, the ice and snow elements within a thousand-mile radius instantly boiled and leaped with joy, as if welcoming the true coronation of their monarch.
Under the guidance of the "key" formed by this last piece of profound ice marrow, the vast Soul Power accumulated in her body for nine hundred and ninety thousand years shattered the million-year bottleneck—a barrier that seemed thin as a cicada's wing but was actually indestructible!
Quantitative change finally triggered a qualitative leap!
Like a river bursting its banks or a stellar core undergoing fission, the Soul Power within Xue Di's body—so majestic it would drive peers to despair—began to circulate, compress, and transform along an incredibly profound trajectory.
The originally ice-blue Soul Power gradually shifted towards a deeper, more brilliant ice-blue divine light. The essence of every wisp of energy was leaping, radiating the majesty and power unique to the divine realm.
This was the ultimate conversion of Soul Power into Divine Power! It was the most critical step in the leap from a mortal life to a higher level!
However, this transformation required time.
Xue Di's million-year accumulation was simply too vast. Even with her top-tier Ice Sky Snow Lady bloodline and her ultimate mastery of the Ice System Law, converting this vast sea of Soul Power entirely into Divine Power was by no means something that could be achieved in an instant.
But the laws of heaven and earth, especially those targeting Soul Beasts, never granted leniency.
Almost at the exact moment Xue Di broke through the bottleneck and her Soul Power began transforming into Divine Power—
"Rumble!!!"
The sky of the Far North Land, which had been leaden gray with drifting snowflakes, was suddenly splashed with thick ink by an invisible giant hand. Suffocatingly heavy dark clouds emerged out of thin air from all directions, converging frantically at a speed exceeding thought!
It wasn't a hundred miles, nor a thousand miles, but the sky covering almost the entire Far North Land. The cloud layers hung low, as if pressing down on the summit of the ice peak. Within them, it wasn't a dance of silver snakes, but a deep, oppressive, dark color that seemed to swallow all light, faintly revealing a destructive violet-red glow.
An indescribable, terrifying pressure descended violently, as if the entire firmament had collapsed!
The strength of this pressure caused Ice Empress, who was watching tensely from the edge of the distant ice valley, to turn pale instantly. Her delicate body trembled violently. Had she not been a Great Beast of over five hundred thousand years herself, she might not have even been able to stand under this pure heavenly might.
Her eyes were filled with unprecedented fear and despair. Was this the true face of the million-year heavenly tribulation? Just the pressure alone made her feel insignificant, like an ant looking up at the sky!
However, in stark contrast to Ice Empress's alarm was Lei Chen's reaction atop the peak.
The moment the world-destroying tribulation clouds formed, a clearly visible look of surprise appeared for the first time on Lei Chen's usually calm and rippleless face.
His eyes, which contained seven-colored flowing light, narrowed slightly. His gaze was like a torch, piercing through the layers of heavy tribulation clouds to land directly on the core point where the energy was most concentrated.
There, it wasn't a simple gathering of thunder, but a source of destruction that was frantically devouring all surrounding energy, constantly collapsing and condensing!
The energy level contained within it even caused Lei Chen, as a First-level God in charge of the entire plane, to feel a hint of surprise!
"Second-Tier God... the power of these tribulation clouds has actually reached the level of a Second-Tier God?!" Even with Lei Chen's usually placid state of mind, waves of emotion couldn't help but rise within him.
He indeed knew that a Soul Beast's million-year heavenly tribulation was extremely terrifying, known as a situation with ten deaths and no life—a certain-kill trap set by the laws of the universe to restrict Soul Beasts, creatures born of heaven and earth with immense potential.
But even he hadn't expected the power of this tribulation to be so formidable that it directly matched the level of a Second-Tier God!
But immediately following that, this surprise was quickly replaced by an uncontrollable surge of joy.
The corners of Lei Chen's mouth curled into a cold, calculating arc that he couldn't suppress.
"Good! What a million-year heavenly tribulation! What a law of the universe!" His gaze became slightly more fervent, as if he were looking not at a destructive disaster, but at an unprecedented gift from the heavens!
Why was he joyful? Naturally, it was because of the strength of this heavenly tribulation.
The energy of this peerlessly terrifying million-year heavenly tribulation was not generated out of thin air, nor was it provided by the Douluo Plane itself—it directly triggered the power of the higher-level "Great Universe Law" that shrouded the endless universe to descend!
It was destructive energy projected directly by the Great Universe Law to execute the iron rule of "erasing" Soul Beasts that broke through the rules!
What did this mean?
It meant that as long as he, Lei Chen, in his capacity as the Plane Master, devoured and digested these tribulation clouds, then the vast energy equivalent to the magnitude of a Second-Tier God contained within would be completely absorbed by his Douluo Plane!
This was equivalent to... directly plucking a piece of fat "wool" off the body of the vast and boundless Great Universe!
The total energy of a Second-Tier God—what kind of concept was that? It was enough to significantly enhance the foundation of the Douluo Plane again. Although it couldn't compare to devouring the entire Abyss Plane, this was completely a windfall of "maximum profit with zero cost"!
"If in the future, several more Soul Beasts with million-year potential are born in this plane..."
This thought inevitably flashed through Lei Chen's mind at high speed.
Every time one more Soul Beast attempted to break through to a million years, he could take the opportunity to "devour" the energy of a heavenly tribulation equivalent to the magnitude of a Second-Tier God!
If he could do it three or five times, the gains from this "wool plucking" alone would be enough to accumulate the magnitude of the Douluo Plane to a startling degree, even laying a solid foundation for its future promotion!
This was not a flight of fancy.
One must know that in ancient times, when Soul Beasts could freely become gods, those Soul Beasts with top-tier bloodlines often only needed two or three hundred thousand years of deep accumulation to attempt to charge into the god level.
If they possessed a terrifying million-year foundation, once they successfully broke through to the god level, they could directly reach the Second-Tier God rank, and even touching the threshold of a First-level God would not be impossible.
Because of this, for the "cleansing" heavenly tribulation sent down by the laws of the universe to ensure success, its power reaching the Second-Tier God rank was reasonable and could even be said to be inevitable!
Thinking of this, Lei Chen's gaze became even more fervent as he looked at the tribulation clouds in the sky, which were roaring and rolling like a world-ending beast.
He stood with his hands behind his back, the seven-colored divine light around him beginning to pull inward, while his aura became increasingly deep and unfathomable, like an abyss with an invisible giant mouth open, quietly waiting for the final descent of that destructive energy.
