Extraordinary Great Antiquity Chapter 6

Chapter 6 Astral Wind, Thunder, and Fire: Mortal Body Tempering (1)

The agitation in Luo Fan's heart flickered and dimmed like candles starved of air.

"This really is a case of searching far and wide to no avail, but then discovering it all of a sudden."

Beaming broadly, Luo Fan turned to Mount Buzhou and began to sense its immeasurable aura. As it flooded into his heart, it melted the final vestiges of his irritation.

Immovable and unbending!

He felt like he could struggle against the world again!

"Shouts~"

Suddenly, Luo Fan shut his eyes and began to draw a long, deep breath. He slowly exhaled, allowing the air to congeal into sheets of mist, suppressing everything within 100 meters.

It was a long time before Luo Fan finally reopened his eyes. But when he did, they seemed much more lucid, almost sentient.

Mount Buzhou is Pangu's backbone and the heavenly pillar of the northwest. It stretches across heaven and the earth and is indescribable in its height. Over the years, Luo Fan had become extremely familiar with its form, but now he suspected that this familiarity would become more harmful than helpful.

The arrival of falling dusk seemed to confirm his suspicion beyond any doubt. Almost a whole day had passed, and Mount Buzhou was still Mount Buzhou, and Luo Fan was still Luo Fan…

However, Luo Fan's will was even more unshakeable than before. He would not give up easily.

Nevertheless, he realized he would not find the turning point he was looking for from this position. Thus, his vision followed the body of the mountain.

He lifted his head, slowly moving skyward until his eyesight penetrated several layers of clouds. But Mount Buzhou was really too high. Even as he did his best to see through the vast formation of thick clouds, he only ever saw its body.

So Luo Fan quickly mounted four auspicious clouds and ascended to the sky, transforming himself into a ray of light as he rose higher and higher.

Despite living in the Great Antiquity World for more than 30,000 years, Luo Fan had never been to the vault of the heavens. His sight had always been on the ground below searching for sources of chaos vitality. Consequently, he soared faster and faster in anticipation, drilling through endless layers of clouds.

However, he was compelled to stop ascending once he reached 90,000 miles above the earth. In front of him, an immeasurable canopy of astral wind, thunder, and fire shrouded the heavens and enveloped the earth!

But Mount Buzhou looked like a sharp sword, capable of chopping through all obstacles, as it pierced directly into that infinite disaster sea.

"I still haven't reached the summit?" Luo Fan shook his head and sighed.

He was more than 90,000 miles away from the ground! The tallest peak on Earth, Mount Everest, was only over 8,800 meters, which was less than 20 miles. To an average person, this mountain peak was already unattainable.

But with a maximum height above 90,000 miles, Mount Buzhou was truly worthy of its reputation.

"Since I've already made it this far, I must continue onward!" Luo Fan's eyes became firm and the energy inside his Mud-Pill Palace (泥丸宫) began spreading to every inch of his meridians.

Luo Fan, who was still positioned between that infinite disaster sea above and that vast whiteness below, was like an elegant immortal. Carefree and natural, graceful and domineering.

Then he mounted the four auspicious clouds underneath him and headed directly into the disaster sea.

The surrounding astral wind, thunder, and fire responded violently to Luo Fan's sudden intrusion. Like dripping water on boiling oil, countless types of heavenly thunders, divine thunders, divine fires, and malevolent winds surged toward him.

Moments later, yin thunder, yang thunder, second wood divine thunder, fifth earth divine thunder, samadhi divine wind, heavenly wind, yin wind, ghost wind, heavenly fire, earth centre fire, and stone centre fire crashed down onto his body.

It was as if the wrath of heavenly tribulation had come down to the world!

Afterward, every kind of energy flowing within 100 miles started to explode into a terrible destructive power!

Cold, hot, sour, numb, pain, itching…

Luo Fan's entire body was transmitting several kinds of strange, familiar, and unfamiliar sensations.

Luo Fan also received countless burns, bruises, and cuts under this catastrophe.

"The might is so unexpectedly intrepid?!" Panic-stricken, Luo Fan began revolving that mysteriously profound energy."

Each circulation of energy instantly caused new flesh and blood to grow out at high speed. The giant wounds on his body were rapidly healing.

Surprisingly, the newborn flesh was even stronger than the old!

But quickly it was damaged by the various kinds of disasters attacking his body, and again, he found himself burned, bruised and lacerated.

"My mortal body is being tempered unexpectedly?!" Although it could be said to be an injustice to perish beneath this catastrophe, Luo Fan did not have the slightest panic in his heart.

In fact, he was extremely happy because compared to the torment of being unable to progress, the pain of this brutal, merciless tempering was nothing.
