Chapter 154: Timely Reward, Onward to the Journey!

Boom!

A muffled explosion rang out as lightning burst across Lin Fan's spiritual body. Immediately, his slightly illusory form became enveloped in crackling electric arcs.

With a thought, Lin Fan activated the Thunder Ancestor Symbol's ability to control lightning.

In an instant, the silver lightning raining from the sky became as docile as a pet—harmless and obedient to Lin Fan's spiritual form.

"Devouring Power!"

After ensuring his safety, Lin Fan uttered a low command, activating the Devouring Ancestor Symbol. Behind his spiritual form, a black vortex appeared.

Rumble!

As the vortex expanded, a terrifying suction force erupted like a flood!

The lightning surrounding Lin Fan's body was instantly devoured by the black hole.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

All the bolts of thunder infused with wind and lightning energy continued to descend from the storm clouds above, but each one was consumed by the vortex, turning into energy that Lin Fan absorbed for himself.

With the help of the devouring power, Lin Fan's spiritual body rapidly condensed, and the waves of spiritual energy emanating from him grew increasingly intense.

"Damn, your cousin is a monster! Not only is Nirvana Fire useless against him, now he's swallowing the Wind and Lightning Tribulation too!"

Little Marten sat on Lin Dong's shoulder, clicking his tongue in amazement. "Tell me, do you think he has a Devouring Ancestor Symbol as well?"

A sharp gleam flickered in Lin Dong's eyes. "Brother Lin Fan has his own means... But his actions just gave me a great idea."

"When I face the Wind and Lightning Tribulation, I could also use the Devouring Symbol to absorb and refine the lightning."

Little Marten squawked, "You brothers are both lunatics. Don't screw it up when it's your turn."

"I won't act recklessly," Lin Dong replied calmly.

While the two chatted, thunder continued to roar around Lin Fan, but none of it harmed him in the slightest.

He devoured the thunderbolts one after another, causing his spiritual form to become denser and more stable. The aura he radiated also grew stronger and stronger.

Nearly a full day passed before the storm clouds finally dispersed, and calm returned to the area.

Lin Fan's spiritual body also reentered his physical form.

It was clear—the Wind and Lightning Tribulation had ended.

In truth, the tribulation wasn't supposed to last this long. But Lin Fan had deliberately used the Thunder Ancestor Symbol to delay the dissipation of the clouds, absorbing more lightning energy in the process, hence the extended duration.

Now that he had survived both tribulations, Lin Fan, still seated cross-legged, suddenly opened his tightly shut eyes. Lightning and wind seemed to flash within them!

Boom!

The air in front of him exploded from sheer pressure, creating a piercing blast!

As Lin Fan clenched his fists and tensed his muscles, he could feel it clearly—his strength had increased several times over compared to before the tribulations.

His spiritual power had also become significantly more powerful.

Even without using his yuan power, Lin Fan could now be considered a formidable force on this Ancient Battlefield.

"Congratulations, Brother Lin Fan, on your breakthrough!" Lin Dong stepped forward, smiling and offering his congratulations.

"You're up next," Lin Fan patted Lin Dong on the shoulder with a grin.

At that moment, a familiar voice echoed in Lin Fan's mind.

[Ding! You patted Lin Dong and obtained the spiritual secret technique: Devouring Thunder Palm!]

A spiritual secret technique? Perfect timing—his old ones were getting a bit weak. This Devouring Thunder Palm was a welcome upgrade.

Lin Fan smiled to himself.

Lin Dong said, "Back in the stone hall of Thunder Rock Valley, I got my hands on a Celestial Talisman Spirit Tree."

"If I refine it, I should be able to break through to First Seal Talisman Master. That way, I'll have some means to protect myself on this battlefield, and not just rely on Brother Lin Fan."

"Then go into seclusion and refine it," Lin Fan nodded. "I actually have a great place for that."

Lin Dong looked curious. "Where?"

"The Ancient Secret Key contains its own secret space. You can cultivate in there without interruptions, and I can still keep moving."

Lin Fan also had another reason—there was a remnant soul inside the secret space. He intended for Lin Dong and Little Marten to deal with it. A win-win situation.

"There's a space inside the Secret Key?" Lin Dong was surprised.

Lin Fan smiled. "While you were fighting the Mo Rock Dynasty guys, I entered it. Alright, don't resist—I'm sending you in now."

"Got it," Lin Dong nodded.

"Wait—Little Marten and Little Flame will stay outside," Lin Fan added just before sending Lin Dong in.

"Why am I staying outside?" Little Marten asked, confused.

Little Flame couldn't speak—he only let out a low growl.

Lin Dong didn't question it. He nodded, "Then Little Marten, Little Flame, you two stay with Brother Lin Fan."

Little Marten rolled his eyes but didn't protest.

Little Flame nodded as well.

Lin Fan took out the Ancient Secret Key and sent Lin Dong into the secret space. Then, he reached out and grabbed Little Marten.

[Ding! You patted Little Marten and obtained: Two million Nirvana Pills!]

Another system reward rang out in Lin Fan's mind.

"What are you doing?" Little Marten protested, annoyed.

"Quiet. I've got something to tell you," Lin Fan said.

"What is it?" Little Marten squinted suspiciously. "You better not be making me do something shady."

Lin Fan rolled his eyes. "What are you thinking? I'm just warning you—there's a remnant soul in the secret space. It might try to possess Lin Dong. Once you're inside, keep an eye on him and help him if necessary."

"What?! You're throwing Lin Dong in with a soul that wants to possess him?" Little Marten shrieked.

"It won't attack right away. It'll wait until Lin Dong starts refining the Celestial Talisman Spirit Tree. I didn't want to distract him with this, which is why I'm telling you privately."

Lin Fan sighed. "Besides, aren't you the mighty Heavenly Demon Marten? Surely a mere remnant soul isn't a problem for you."

"Damn right it's not! Leave it to me! That stupid ghost dares to try and possess my brother? I'll make sure it's obliterated beyond reincarnation!"

Little Marten puffed up proudly.

Lin Fan was speechless. "Alright, get in there. Keep him safe."

With that, Lin Fan activated the Secret Key and sent Little Marten into the secret space as well.

"Let's go, Little Flame. It's time we paid a visit to the Mo Rock Dynasty."

After sending in Lin Dong and Little Marten, Lin Fan mounted Little Flame, looked toward the horizon, and murmured.

Roar!

Little Flame let out a deep growl, flapped his wings, and streaked into the sky as a blazing red streak of light.
