When they took each other's hands, there was a flash of light before the world before them had disappeared.
When the flash of light had cleared up, there was only Lin Fan who was back in the real world, in the same room with the fountain.
He had been placed against the wall, with Momonga and Angela watching over him, waiting for him to wake up.
But there was no time for him to care about this because he finally felt the shackles in his heart loosening. There was a surge of life energy that appeared around Lin Fan, but this wasn't a surge of energy that came from him, rather it was a surge of energy that suddenly entered his body in a swirling pattern.
At the center of his body, deep inside his dantian, that black hole was starting to increase in size. It slowly became bigger and bigger, taking up more and more space inside his dantian.
The various statues that had been inside also floated up in the space in his dantian, floating around the large black hole that had now appeared. It was almost like the black hole was the sun and the various statues floating around it were the planets in orbit.
And then there was the single sun that had formed in his dantian. As more and more energy was drawn into his dantian by the black hole that was in the center of his dantian, the bigger the sun became.
It moved right into the center of the black hole and then floating there, it created the singularity of the black hole.
As it continued to grow bigger, it continued to grow in size before it suddenly pinched in the middle, creating two halves of that one sun. After being pinched in half, they then formed two different suns, floating there in the center of the black hole.
It was only then that everything had calmed down.
Lin Fan had not only broken through to the Legendary Realm, he had broken through to the second level of his God Tier Cultivation Technique.
He had formed the second sun of the Nine True Sun Body Art.
The amount of energy that swelled from the two suns was much more than just double the output of the single sun from before. It hadn't increased by just three or four times either, it had increased by several dozen times.
Lin Fan could tell that with his current body, even his Iron Eater Bone Artifact might not be able to cut through him.
That was a weapon that was in the Embryo Soul Realm, a whole realm above the Fragmented Soul Realm that he had just entered.
However, there was no time for him to worry about this since there was something else he needed to handle first.
When anyone broke through to the Legendary Realm, it meant that they would have to go through the tribulation of the heavens, which came in the natural form lightning that fell down from the heavens.
However, what they were currently in was an unknown ruin from an unknown time, but the one thing that it could do was actually keep out the heavenly tribulation, which meant that no natural lightning could rain down.
Of course, there was nothing in this world that could stop the will of the heavens, which was the will of the world.
The laws in the room began gathering and they formed dark clouds above Lin Fan, clouds that began booming with thunder.
Being able to keep out the tribulation clouds was not a good thing because that meant going against the heavens, drawing in the wrath of the heavens. By doing this, one would only make their tribulation even stronger.
When it came to the lightning tribulation that one had to undertake, there were different levels of tribulation that could come.
The most basic kind of tribulation was the normal yellow lightning that fell from the sky. This was the most common kind of tribulation there was, only falling for those that had relied on luck to reach the Soul Realm instead of actual talent.
The next most common was the blue lighting tribulation, which was known as the Tribulation of Fortune. Those that receive this tribulation were considered those that had talent, but not enough talent to trample all others. Still, they would go further than most other Soul Realm Experts.
After that came the purple lightning tribulation which was known as the Tribulation of Blessing. Purple lightning was the sign of a genius among geniuses, one that would lead their generation and excel above all others.
Then came red lightning tribulation which was known as the Tribulation of Era Defining. Red lightning only fell upon those that could lead their era, being monsters that excelled over all other geniuses, one that no one in the same era could compare to.
This was the tribulation that most of the current Rulers had undergone when they had broken through to the Souls Realm, which showed just how rare this kind of tribulation was.
Finally, there was another kind of tribulation that was rumoured to exist, but there were no written records of this ever. That was because the black lightning tribulation which was known as the Tribulation of Death was one that no one had survived before.
The Tribulation of Death was for those that had truly offended the heavens or were too heaven defying for the heavens to allow to exist. The black lightning was much stronger than an expert that was just entering the Soul Realm, which made it impossible for them to survive.
Right now, the lightning that filled the clouds that were above Lin Fan were completely black in colour.
Since he had caused the lightning tribulation to manually form, it meant that he had provoked the heavens into increasing the difficulty of his tribulation, forcing it to reach the Tribulation of Death level.
Seeing this, Momonga and Angela couldn't help feeling worried for Lin Fan, but there was also nothing that they could do.
One's tribulation had to be passed by themselves, or there would be terrible consequences. The moment they entered the tribulation with Lin Fan, the difficulty would double since the tribulation would double.
Momonga and Angela definitely had never faced the black lightning tribulation before, but they were also certain that it definitely was not something that they could face.
Angela had undergone the red lightning tribulation when she had broken through and Momonga had only undergone the purple lightning tribulation, but he had still been human when he had undergone his tribulation. If he were to take his tribulation again now that he had become an undead, it would definitely have reached the red lightning tribulation level.
They could only stand there watching, but they were hopeful since Lin Fan had a mysterious master behind him.
The God Realm was something mysterious that they had no knowledge of, but everyone knew that the gods ruled the heavens, so naturally they would have a way to defend against this. They hoped that the old master had prepared something for Lin Fan for his tribulation.
Lin Fan looked up at the clouds that had formed above him. He knew about the level of the lightning that could appear in the tribulation, but he wasn't worried when he saw the black lightning. That was because he had his gold finger, the system.
The system had given him a God Tier Cultivation Technique in the beginning and now that he had broken through to the second level of that cultivation technique, he was feeling much more confident.
It wouldn't be called a God Tier Cultivation Technique if it wasn't broken, so Lin Fan was filled with confidence.
The first bolt of black lightning fell right down on Lin Fan, but all he felt was a tingle that ran over his skin.
This lightning couldn't do a single thing to him, it almost felt like he was receiving a full body massage.
As the lightning coursed through him, Lin Fan activated his absorption force and began taking all that lightning into his dantian.
Once the lightning was absorbed, it filled his dantian and began feeding the lightning bolt statue that was there. As the lightning was fed into the lightning bolt statue, Lin Fan could feel his laws quickly growing stronger.
It had only been in the low Fragmented Soul Realm before, but once it absorbed the heavenly lightning, his lightning laws quickly reached the mid Fragmented Soul Realm and it showed no signs of stopping.
As if it could tell that Lin Fan was disrespecting it, the cloud above him began to fume as the lightning inside of it became even stronger.
What Lin Fan was doing was actually stealing from the heavens, so how could they take that from this lowly mortal?
The second bolt of lightning wasn't just twice as strong, it had grown more than ten times in size and over a hundred times in power, but Lin Fan only felt a tingle from it still.
His body had become much stronger now that he had broken through to the second level of his cultivation technique and with his absorption force, he was able to negate a large part of it by making it into his own power.
Lin Fan was able to easily make it through the first two bolts of his tribulation, but there were still seven more to come. Lightning tribulation into the Soul Realm always had a total of nine bolts of heavenly lightning.
But it didn't seem like the heavens were going to make it easy for him as the clouds continued to grow bigger and bigger and more lightning filled those clouds.
