Chapter 571: Purple-Gold Lightning Tribulation (Please ask for monthly votes at the end of the month! )
Emerald Cliff.
In the seclusion chamber.
Fang Xi suddenly opened his eyes. Looking at the burnt-out 'Sandalwood Golden Incense', he couldn't help but nod slightly.
This time, the inner demon tribulation was easier than he had imagined.
After all, with so many years of arduous cultivation, his Dao heart was quite firm.
Furthermore, his Divine Consciousness was powerful, and he had cultivated the second layer of the 'Seven Emotions of Sorrow Spectrum'.
More crucially, he had the assistance of external aids like the 'Sandalwood Golden Incense'.
Therefore, he passed the inner demon tribulation with relative ease.
With the most difficult inner demon tribulation behind him, were the remaining Five Elements Tribulation and Lightning Tribulation even an issue?
The Divine Transformation Heavenly Tribulation, in the end, was still aimed at the Nascent Soul, and he already possessed Divine Transformation level combat power. . .
...
Above Emerald Cliff, Five Elements Primordial Qi surged, bringing immense pressure upon Ling Shu.
Her escape light flickered, landing on the ground. Looking at the masses of coalescing green spiritual energy, she couldn't help but exclaim, "The Five Elements Tribulation has begun. . ."
In reality, for cultivators attempting to break through to Divine Transformation, if they failed before breaking the Divine Transformation bottleneck, there was still a chance to make a comeback.
But if they failed to overcome the Five Elements Primordial Qi Tribulation and the Nine-Layered Lightning Tribulation after breaking through the Divine Transformation bottleneck, then they would truly be reduced to ashes, without even a sliver of a chance remaining.
After Ling Shu's brief explanation, Zhong Hong Yu couldn't help but clutch her clothes tightly.
At this moment, the green spiritual clouds churned, transforming into colossal trees that crashed down with a mighty roar!
Upon the colossal trees, emerald green vines emerged, and on these vines, countless dense runes faintly appeared, unleashing astonishing spiritual energy!
The first tribulation of the Five Elements Tribulation, the Wood Tribulation!
Zzzzing!
A streak of green light appeared atop the Evergreen Hall, revealing Fang Xi in a green robe!
He held the Green Reaping Sword, flicking its blade with a finger. The sword hummed with a dragon's roar, clearly intending to emulate the Fangxian Dao Master, to break the Heavenly Tribulation with a single sword strike!
"Go!"
Fang Xi slashed with the Green Reaping Sword, and countless green threads spread across the void.
As those colossal trees fell, they were uniformly sliced into countless fragments by the green threads. The vines snapped one by one, then were utterly ground into dust, transforming into pure wood spiritual energy.
"Absorb!"
Fang Xi opened his mouth, and clusters of green light constantly condensed, swallowed like pills into his body to replenish his magic power.
"The Island Master is indeed an unparalleled sword cultivator. This sword art of 'refining sword into silk' is extremely rare even among Nascent Soul old monsters."
Liu Xu muttered as she witnessed this scene, her eyes shining.
At this moment, the sky turned crimson, and streaks of fire-element divine light spanned the heavens and earth, descending as the fire of heavenly tribulation!
Beside Fang Xi, a figure flickered, and Zhang Huohua's form appeared.
With an emotionless expression, he patted the top of his head, and the Second Primordial Spirit emerged from his crown. With a grinning hand seal, he opened his mouth and spewed out a stream of pitch-black flame!
—The Six Paths Demonic Flame!
The demonic flame, constantly shifting colors, roared skyward, engulfing the entire sky, seemingly intent on refining the fire of heavenly tribulation!
The fire of heavenly tribulation for Divine Transformation was also a rare flame seed; Fang Xi naturally wouldn't miss it.
And at this moment, the Six Paths Demonic Flame carried both the bone-chilling coldness of Yellow Spring Ghost Fire and the unpredictable variations of Three Yang Child Flame. . . It continuously unleashed the might of various demonic flames, devouring the heavenly tribulation fire bit by bit, with not a single wisp managing to reach Fang Xi.
After the heavenly tribulation fire passed, a long river of earthy-yellow divine sand descended. . .
After the divine sand, came countless golden blades. . .
A rumble echoed through the void, and a gray-white small pagoda appeared, shimmering with silvery-white radiance.
Fang Xi held the pagoda above his head, enduring the baptism of divine sand and golden blades, giving off an air of being immune to all attacks.
Finally, with a hand seal, the Soul Suppressing Pagoda burst forth with brilliance. A swirl of gray-white light swept forth, actually devouring all the divine sand and golden blades, making them vanish completely.
Gurgle, gurgle!
The final transformation of the Five Elements Primordial Qi Tribulation appeared: masses of profound black netherwater surged forth from underground.
The intense tremors even caused Emerald Cliff to begin shaking, and the earth cracked open. Deep within, a green-skinned gourd faintly pulsed.
"Suppress!"
Fang Xi had long guarded against this move. The 'Reversed Nine-Nethers Profound Wood Grand Array' rumbled, and streaks of black mist isolated the senses of the 'Nine-Nine Green Vine Gourd', even adding seventeen or eighteen seals beyond that single crack. . .
A faint, indistinct curse seemed to emanate from underground, then quickly vanished.
Gurgle, gurgle!
The profound black netherwater spread across the Evergreen Hall, seemingly capable of corroding everything. The spiritual herbs in the medicine garden, the green jade floor tiles. . . all were rapidly being corroded, turning into the same black water.
But in the next moment, roots of the Ancestor Demonic Tree appeared one by one.
They quickly plunged into the profound black netherwater, seemingly absorbing this pure water primordial energy, making the demonic tree even greener.
In an instant, the endless black water was all absorbed by the demonic tree, vanishing. . .
Having passed all the Five Elements Primordial Qi Tribulations, Fang Xi's Divine Consciousness stirred, and he felt an even closer connection with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. He couldn't help but smile slightly.
There were benefits after passing a tribulation! This was the turning point from extreme adversity to prosperity!
Boom!
After the Five Elements Tribulation, the sky for a thousand miles grew dim, lightning danced wildly, and a faint, indistinct oppressive aura emerged.
Even Ling Shu's Nascent Soul trembled under this oppressive aura, showing unease.
Because this was 'Heavenly Might'!
The Heavenly Tribulation. . . descended!
With a deafening boom, a bolt of azure-gold lightning, powerful enough to obliterate most late-stage Nascent Souls, flashed wildly across the sky, striking down as if carrying the might of the Nine Heavens!
Fang Xi yawned. Three spiritual treasures appeared around him: the Life and Death Seal, the Soul Suppressing Pagoda, and the Green Reaping Sword!
These three were all top-grade spiritual treasures. By accompanying him through the Divine Transformation Heavenly Tribulation, their connection would become even closer in the future, and their power would increase!
Especially the Life and Death Seal!
In truth, this was Fang Xi's true Life-Bound Spiritual Treasure. He wouldn't easily use it; once it was deployed, it would surely claim lives.
Furthermore, after several rounds of cultivation with the 'Treasure Seeding Art', its foundation was incredibly deep, almost unimaginable, as if a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator had neglected their own cultivation and spent hundreds of years of spiritual energy meticulously refining it. What was even rarer was its complete spiritual connection with him!
After enduring this round of lightning tribulation, the Life and Death Seal would also have laid the foundation for its future promotion to a fifth-grade Numinous Treasure!
However, the Green Reaping Sword and Soul Suppressing Pagoda did not have such fortune. After all, they were not Life-Bound Artifacts, and their potential was limited.
Fang Xi taking out these three spiritual treasures wasn't actually to resist the lightning tribulation.
He chanted a spell, and a three-colored armor appeared on his body, erupting with astonishing light. It was precisely the 'Myriad Demon Armor'!
This armor was woven from fiery red Heavenly Phoenix feathers and Qilin scales. On its shoulders were shoulder pads resembling a flood dragon's gaping maw, and on the heart-guard mirror on its chest, a Black Tortoise pattern wiggled its tail, looking adorable.
When Fang Xi made even a slight movement, three great phantom images—Heavenly Phoenix, Flood Dragon, and Black Tortoise—appeared from the Myriad Demon Armor, following him like shadows. . .
Although he had only collected the essence blood of three fifth-grade demon beast kings, forming the 'Three Sacred Beast Armor', Fang Xi had long been accustomed to accepting imperfection.
After all, his initial plan was merely to gather enough for the 'Minor Four Spirits Armor'.
Now, he had far exceeded his expectations.
"The Myriad Demon Armor secret art boasts greatly, claiming it can weaken heavenly tribulations. Now it's time to see the truth. . ."
Fang Xi murmured, spreading his hands. A layer of three-colored radiance emerged from the Myriad Demon Armor, transforming into a colossal light screen.
Crack!
The lightning heavily struck the three-colored light screen, causing it to waver precariously. Countless bolts of lightning bounced off and flashed brilliantly. . . but ultimately vanished.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
The heavenly lightning struck in quick succession, one bolt of lightning tribulation after another cleaving down upon the three-colored light screen, causing cracks to appear in the luminous barrier.
Finally. . .
As the sixth bolt of heavenly lightning descended, after dissipating most of its power, it perished along with the three-colored radiant barrier!
The remaining heavenly lightning landed on Fang Xi, easily endured by his 'Three Sacred Beast Armor'. He even flicked his fingers, sending three arcs of electricity onto the Life and Death Seal and the other two spiritual treasures, seemingly refining their very essence. . .
Whoosh, whoosh!
Gusts of wind howled, and thunderclouds spanned the sky!
The azure-gold lightning flashed wildly, its color gradually changing, tinged with faint purple.
"Purple-Gold Dual-Colored Lightning Tribulation? !"
Fang Xi's expression was incomparably solemn. He recalled the tribulation that had destroyed the Ancestor Demonic Tree!
An intense sense of danger constantly stimulated his spiritual senses.
'To think. . . I would also receive such 'treatment'. '
He gave a bitter laugh in his heart, and fiercely struck the Three Sacred Beast Armor.
Chirp! Chirp!
Roar! Roar!
Ong! !
Three phantom images—Heavenly Phoenix, Crocodile Dragon, and Black Tortoise—appeared, rapidly solidifying from illusion in mid-air to meet the seventh bolt of lightning descending from the firmament!
This lightning bolt displayed dual purple and gold colors, imbued with destructive power.
Entangled by the three phantom images, its power abruptly weakened by thirty percent, then it heavily struck the Myriad Demon Armor.
The armor let out a mournful cry, and a crack appeared.
Fang Xi also grunted, with traces of blood seeping from his nose and mouth. . .
Even with his current incomparably formidable Body Cultivation physique, he was still injured by the Heavenly Tribulation in the end!
"Young Master!"
Zhong Hong Yu's eyes were somewhat red. Ling Shu pulled her back, saying, "The Island Master's heavenly tribulation is different from what's described in ancient texts; its power has surged. . . If you go over there, you'll only harm yourself and him."
A cultivator's tribulation crossing was originally a very personal matter; external interference would only be counterproductive.
Even if Ice Profound Master protected the White family's Old Ancestor during their tribulation, they only guarded the periphery to prevent external incursions. . . The true lightning tribulation still had to be endured by the White family's Old Ancestor themselves.
"But. . ."
Zhong Hong Yu looked at the heavenly tribulation, which once again flared with purple and gold colors, and saw silver seal characters appearing within it. A trace of horror involuntarily surfaced on her face.
'Is it because I am too defiant of the heavens? '
'However, following the natural path leads to becoming human, but defying it leads to becoming an immortal! Cultivators on the Dao path, by nature, defy the heavens! '
Fang Xi burst out laughing. With a thought, his Divine Consciousness spread out boundlessly, connecting with the three hundred and sixty-five 'Starry Sky Pagodas'.
The Circulation of Stars Grand Array. . . Activate!
It was difficult for outsiders to interfere with a cultivator's tribulation, but using one's own treasures to overcome it was entirely appropriate.
This 'Circulation of Stars Grand Array' was also his Primordial Spirit Magical Artifact!
Crack!
As if the Nine Heavens were torn asunder, a bolt of purple-gold lightning even thicker than before crashed down with a roar. Within the lightning, silver seal characters shimmered!
"Go!"
The Dharma Body of the Master of the Circulation of Stars appeared, performing a hand seal. A ray of 'Myriad Heavens and Ten Lands, Sun, Moon, and Five Stars Demon-Slaying Divine Light' met the lightning. . .
