Zhang Yuanji glanced at the Boundless sword in his hand. At this moment, he clearly noticed that the entire sword was trembling.
A terrifying energy was surging from within the blade.
It seemed as though…
As though the heavenly lightning was specifically targeting the Boundless sword!
Realizing this, Zhang Yuanji quickly drove Boundless into the ground and immediately flashed away to a safer distance.
Boom!
The terrifying lightning struck Boundless directly.
In an instant, the entire blade began to tremble from the sheer power of the lightning strikes.
"This lightning... it's getting more terrifying by the second..."
Zhang Yuanji, watching from a distance, widened his eyes in shock.
The scene was beyond terrifying.
From the sky, one after another, the fearsome heavenly lightning bolts continued to crash down, hitting Boundless without mercy.
Boom! Boom!
Thunder roared relentlessly, deafeningly.
The sword appeared to be sculpted by the relentless lightning, as if undergoing some sort of transformation.
Before long, cracks began to form along the blade.
More and more cracks appeared, making the sword look as if it was about to shatter.
"Damn, this really hurts!"
From within the sword, Ye Fan cried out in pain.
In the past, even if it hurt, it was never this bad.
But now, the pain was becoming unbearable!
It felt as though his body was being torn apart.
"Could this lightning actually kill me!?"
Ye Fan's voice was full of alarm.
Boom! Boom!
The sky continued to rain down terrifying bolts of lightning.
One after another.
Zhang Yuanji, watching from not far away, could only stand there with his eyes wide open in disbelief.
It was a bizarre scene, something he had never witnessed before.
It was as if the sword was undergoing a tribulation!
"What... what is that!?"
From a distance, Tang Zhentian's remaining subordinates, watching the scene, began to tremble.
Fear filled their eyes as they witnessed the sheer power of the lightning.
Each strike seemed like it could split the earth in two.
"Is it some kind of martial technique used by the person who hunted down Boss Tang?"
"Or... is someone undergoing a tribulation!?"
They whispered amongst themselves, their voices filled with dread.
None of them dared approach the area, instead, they slowly began to back away, intent on fleeing.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yuanji, standing at a safe distance, continued to watch the unfolding scene.
The terrifying lightning bolts continued to crash down on Boundless without showing any signs of stopping.
"If this keeps up, my sword will be destroyed!"
Ye Fan's voice filled the air, filled with frustration.
A closer look revealed that Boundless had become badly damaged, with cracks spreading across the blade.
It looked as though the sword might break at any moment.
"No! I can't die here!!!"
Seeing another massive lightning bolt about to strike, Ye Fan panicked.
At that moment, a surge of immense energy erupted from within Boundless.
By now, Ye Fan had accumulated more than a million energy points.
Seeing the terrifying lightning crash down once more, Ye Fan activated a skill, causing a wave of terrifying white flames to shoot out from the sword!
This flame was far more powerful than anything a sword master had ever released!
"Nether Flame Soul Slash..."
Zhang Yuanji's eyes widened in shock as he witnessed the scene.
"That's... insane..."
"Boundless can actually release skills on its own!?"
Zhang Yuanji could hardly believe his eyes.
Not only could Boundless release its own skills, but the power was far greater than anything Zhang Yuanji himself could muster.
Boom!
The terrifying white flames collided with the heavenly lightning, creating an earth-shattering explosion.
The sound was deafening.
The lightning, under the relentless assault of the white flames, was significantly weakened.
The remaining lightning that struck the sword caused far less damage.
Boom! Boom!
The lightning continued to rain down from the sky.
"Keep going!!"
Ye Fan roared, refusing to give in.
More terrifying white flames erupted from the sword, continuously clashing with the lightning.
Time passed quickly.
After a day and a night, the heavenly lightning still showed no signs of stopping.
It seemed endless, as if it would never cease.
"This is insane… a sword is fighting against heavenly lightning!?"
Zhang Yuanji, who had been watching the whole time, was utterly dumbfounded.
The terrifying power of the lightning had driven away all the nearby beasts and even the martial gods, who dared not approach.
The energy was simply too overwhelming.
"Damn, I still have plenty of energy left!!"
Ye Fan roared, continuing to release the Nether Flame Soul Slash!
The terrifying white flames kept battling the descending lightning.
Three days and three nights passed.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the heavenly lightning began to dissipate.
As the sky gradually returned to normal, and no more lightning came crashing down, Ye Fan let out a sigh of relief.
"It's finally over."
Boundless now looked charred and severely damaged, covered in cracks.
As a gentle breeze blew by, flakes of charred debris began to fall away from the sword.
Just like before, it was as if the sword was shedding its skin, revealing a brand-new blade underneath.
The blade still bore the signature otherworldly flower patterns, but its edge now gleamed with an even more terrifying sharpness.
Moreover, the aura radiating from the sword was now both overwhelming and razor-sharp.
The entire blade was bathed in a golden glow.
"Golden radiance… a god-tier weapon!?"
From a distance, Zhang Yuanji's entire body began to tremble.
The scene before him was beyond shocking.
A sword had undergone tribulation!
Not only that, but the sword had actively released its own power to withstand the terrifying heavenly lightning—and successfully survived the ordeal!
No one who witnessed such a thing could remain unmoved.
"Hahaha, the final evolution is complete!"
"I've completed my final evolution, haven't I!?"
Ye Fan burst into triumphant laughter.
With a thought, he checked the system's attributes.
As he read the name of the sword, his eyes widened in disbelief.
