After killing these people, Chen Lei detained their spirits one by one and searched their souls one by one. Finally, he looked grim.
Through soul searching, Chen Lei learned that these people were actually ordered by an elder of the Li family to come and kill him.
However, this elder of the Li family had no idea how terrifying Chen Lei was at the moment, so he only sent a few guys at the sixth level of Martial Emperor, led by two strong men at the seventh level of Martial Emperor, to intercept and kill him.
These people were enough to deal with ordinary seventh-level Martial Emperor masters, but they were not strong enough to deal with Chen Lei, and were all killed by Chen Lei.
"Li Chenghu, this matter won't just end like this."
Chen Lei sneered and said to himself that the elder who ordered these people was Li Chenghu.
However, Chen Lei had no time to cause trouble for Li Chenghu at this time. Instead, he changed his location again and then entered the sea.
This time, no one was following him. After Chen Lei set up a warning formation, he began to refine and fuse the Soul of the Sea.
Chen Lei took out the Soul of the Sea, a crystal stone that was shaped like a water droplet. It exuded a powerful spiritual energy. It seemed as if there was a boundless ocean contained in this water droplet-shaped crystal stone.
Chen Lei nodded, and then put the crystal directly into his mouth.
Chen Lei had already looked up that the method of refining the Sea Soul was to take it as a food. He put the Sea Soul into his mouth, and it melted immediately. Chen Lei only felt waves-like sounds in his body, and his whole body almost merged with the ocean. His body was rapidly improving under the huge warm current of spiritual energy transformed by the Sea Soul.
Meanwhile, his cultivation and spiritual power were also increasing. He could clearly feel that his true energy and spiritual cultivation were becoming stronger and stronger. In the blink of an eye, he had broken through the original bottleneck and reached a higher level.
As Chen Lei's cultivation level increased, the heavenly tribulation arrived as expected.
Even if Chen Lei stayed at the bottom of the sea, the calamity clouds in the sky accurately found him and enveloped the sea surface, almost clinging to the sea surface, and were extremely thick.
In the thick leaden clouds, there was a flash of lightning, and there were strands of lightning running around, and then, they struck fiercely towards the position where Chen Lei was.
These heavenly thunders seemed to ignore the distance of time and space and fell directly on Chen Lei.
At this time, Chen Lei's martial soul, the Thunder Lotus, emerged from Chen Lei's body and took root in the seabed. The huge lotus leaves covered the entire sea, swaying slightly. A purple lotus with ninety-nine and eighty-one petals bloomed, enduring the baptism of endless lightning from the heavenly calamity.
The Tribulation Thunder Lotus became more and more powerful under the lightning of the heavenly tribulation. At the same time, half of the heavenly tribulation was transformed into the purest energy by the Tribulation Thunder Lotus and input into Chen Lei's body, strengthening Chen Lei's physical body.
These energies from the heavenly tribulation caused Chen Lei's physical strength to increase dramatically again. His entire body was glowing with a purple crystal-like luster, like the purest thunder crystal, emitting a powerful and terrifying aura.
This time, the heavenly calamity lasted for three days and three nights before it dissipated. Chen Lei exuded an extremely terrifying aura, which made people feel extremely palpitating.
Chen Lei slowly restrained the powerful aura he was emitting. Suddenly, with a wave of his hand, a huge water dragon sprang out from the sea, exuding great majesty, and appeared in front of Chen Lei vividly.
