The sky suddenly shattered, and heaven and earth lost their color!
A purple-gold lightning pillar, over a hundred zhang in diameter, pierced through the sky, striking down like a sword of heavenly punishment.
The furious lightning illuminated the entire mountain range as if it were daytime, and its destructive pressure caused all the Yao Beasts within a thousand li to prostrate themselves, trembling in fear!
"Roar—"
Little Gold roared skyward, pounding his chest with six arms.
Behind him, the Tongtian Violent Ape Dharma Idol manifested with a crash, his golden fur wildly dancing, and his entire body radiating dazzling golden light.
He showed no fear, soaring into the sky to meet the Lightning Tribulation!
His figure was like lightning, transforming into a golden stream of light that shot straight into the clouds.
The moment the lightning pillar descended, he spread all six arms, bravely receiving this world-ending lightning strike!
"Boom—!!!"
A deafening explosion resounded through heaven and earth, as golden lightning shattered, turning into countless electric snakes that raged wildly.
Little Gold's figure was instantly swallowed by the sea of lightning!
Li Mu, Xue'er, and Little Wa rushed out of the rock cave, suspending themselves in mid-air, far from the reach of the Lightning Tribulation, their gazes fixed on the scene with solemnity.
"Li Dage, can Little Gold withstand it?" Xue'er couldn't help but worry about Little Gold, who was being bombarded by countless bolts of lightning.
Li Mu's face showed a relaxed expression, and he comforted her with a smile, "Don't worry! Little Gold has awakened the Tongtian Violent Ape Ancestral Bloodline; his Physical Body is comparable to a divine weapon.
Plus, with the protection of six types of extreme gold power, the first few waves of Lightning Tribulation won't be able to harm him.
Even if he can't get through the subsequent Lightning Tribulation, I'm still here!"
Indeed, within the lightning, a golden figure suddenly plunged into the sea of lightning, stirring up the vast thunderclouds.
Little Gold's body expanded wildly amidst the Lightning Tribulation, and the true form of the Tongtian Violent Ape completely manifested—he was a thousand zhang tall, as majestic as a mountain, with golden fur standing up like steel needles, enveloped in violent lightning.
His entire body almost reached deep into the tribulation clouds, and his reddish-gold Yao Beast eyes burned like scorching suns, exuding a destructive vicious aura.
"Roar—!!!"
Little Gold's roar shattered thousands of miles of clouds!
His six arms were bulging with muscles, and the vertebrae on his back protruded section by section, like jagged bone spurs piercing through his flesh, flashing with a chilling glint.
Two pairs of fangs were savagely exposed, exuding an overwhelming viciousness!
The tribulation clouds furiously churned, as if enraged by his vicious aura, and countless lightning Dragons roared within the clouds.
But Little Gold laughed madly, spreading his six arms, and actively tearing at the thunderclouds!
"Crack!" The first tribulation lightning bolt slammed down, striking Little Gold's mountain-like majestic body, yet it couldn't even scorch a single golden hair on him!
The purple electric lightning wildly coursed over his body, but was instead completely absorbed by his pores, transforming into pure energy and integrating into his Bloodline.
"Sizzle..."
The second, third, and subsequent tribulation lightning bolts struck down one after another, completely enveloping Little Gold, forming a lightning Dragon coiling around his body.
Little Gold's golden fur stood on end, and his entire body was wrapped in endless lightning, but it seemed to cause him no harm.
His six arms were bulging with muscles, and he condensed violent gold-elemental Yao Beast power in his palms, grabbing the heads and tails of the surrounding lightning Dragons and tearing them apart by force!
The violent lightning power exploded in Little Gold's palms, yet it couldn't even scorch his fur.
Instead, he opened his mouth and inhaled it, transforming it into pure energy and swallowing it into his belly.
Little Gold stood in the center of the sea of lightning, like an ancient Vicious Beast, looking down on the Lightning Tribulation with unmatched arrogance!
However, the Lightning Tribulation had just begun!
"Rumble—"
The tribulation clouds churned like boiling water, and the world suddenly darkened.
Nine purple-gold lightning Dragons emerged from the clouds, each a thousand zhang long, with destructive lightning patterns flickering on their scales.
Their Dragon roars shook the nine heavens, and the violent lightning might distorted the space within a hundred li radius.
The lightning Dragons coiled and intertwined, forming a net of heaven and earth, and attacked Little Gold!
"Good timing!"
Little Gold's three eyes widened in anger, his golden fur standing on end.
Behind him, six golden light wheels unfurled with a roar, constructing a brilliant extreme gold Dao domain in the Void Realm.
Within this Dao domain, the gold-elemental Law solidified into a tangible form, and countless golden Dao patterns flowed in the air, completely enveloping the attacking lightning Dragons.
"Devouring Dao Sharp Gold!"
With a furious roar, the Violent Ape pattern on Little Gold's chest suddenly split open, revealing a rotating golden vortex within.
This vortex seemed to connect to the Origin of the great gold Dao.
The three lightning Dragons charging at the forefront immediately twisted their bodies, emitting painful roars, their purple-gold lightning forcibly stripped away, transforming into a pure energy torrent that was swallowed by the vortex.
From within the vortex came an ear-splitting metallic grinding sound, as the three lightning Dragons were crushed inch by inch like noodles, eventually turning into specks of lightning essence that merged into Little Gold's body.
The remaining six lightning Dragons were enraged, their Dragon eyes blazing with lightning, and they opened their mouths to spew out six purple-gold lightning pillars as thick as water buckets.
Wherever the lightning pillars passed, the Void Realm was scorched with black marks.
"Nine Nether Dark Gold!"
Little Gold formed seals with his six arms, and the dark-gold Violent Ape phantom behind him suddenly solidified.
This Violent Ape had three heads and six arms, its entire body shimmering with a dark metallic luster, and each of its six palms held a black golden wheel.
The Violent Ape phantom opened its mouth and spewed out a dark-gold light screen.
Wherever the light screen reached, the six lightning pillars quickly dimmed as if encountering their nemesis, and rust-like dark spots appeared on the lightning Dragons' scales, their movements immediately slowing down, as if bound by invisible shackles.
"Break!"
Little Gold seized the opportunity, his six arms bulging with muscles, condensing the power of creation's extreme gold in his palms, and conjuring six golden giant axes out of thin air.
Profound Dao patterns flowed on the axe blades, containing the sharp intent of splitting heaven and earth.
He swung all six arms, and the giant axes cut out six golden arcs that spanned heaven and earth, accurately hitting the lightning Dragons' vulnerable spots.
"Screech—!"
An ear-piercing tearing sound resounded through the clouds, as the six lightning Dragons were forcibly cut into twelve pieces!
The severed Dragon bodies violently twitched in the air, erupting in a final lightning storm.
Little Gold did not dodge, allowing the lightning storm to wash over him, as the Dao patterns of the Eternal Body of Ten Thousand Tribulations flickered on his surface, absorbing all the raging lightning power.
Amidst the sky full of lightning, Little Gold stood proudly.
Six light wheels slowly rotated behind him, and he opened his mouth to inhale, swallowing all the scattered lightning essence into his belly.
His golden fur became even more resplendent, and faintly, a seventh light wheel was forming...
Little Gold's Battle Intent boiled, his six arms waved, and the Tongtian Violent Ape Dharma Idol behind him roared skyward, challenging the Lightning Tribulation above his head!
"Boom crack—"
The sky suddenly split open with a hideous gap spanning a hundred li, and countless viscous, purplish-black lightning fluid poured down from the crack.
Every drop of this lightning fluid was as heavy as a mountain, and as it fell, it actually corroded countless tiny black holes in space; it was precisely the legendary "Profound Nether Lightning Fluid"!
"Sizzle—"
The first drop of lightning fluid landed on Little Gold's shoulder, instantly corroding through his tough golden fur, burning a bowl-sized black scorch wound on his skin.
Little Gold groaned, and his third vertical pupil contracted; this lightning fluid actually contained the Law power of the corrosive Dao!
"Splash—"
In a blink of an eye, the lightning fluid had turned into a torrential downpour, covering an area of a hundred li.
Every drop of lightning fluid that hit the ground would melt pits dozens of zhang deep in the rock layers.
The entire mountain range sank at a visible speed, and the air was filled with a pungent burnt smell.
"Eternal Body of Ten Thousand Tribulations!"
Little Gold crossed his six arms to protect his head, and his entire body erupted in dazzling golden light.
Dense, ancient Dao patterns appeared on the surface of his skin; these patterns moved like living beings, constantly breaking and reforming under the lightning fluid's erosion.
The ground beneath his feet had long turned into a lightning pool, and the purplish-black fluid had risen above his knees, emitting a chilling "hissing" sound.
"Roar—!"
The Violent Ape Dharma Idol suddenly opened its gaping maw, and like a long whale drawing water, swallowed all the lightning fluid in the sky into its belly.
Little Gold's abdomen visibly swelled, his skin stretched almost transparent, allowing the churning lightning fluid inside to be clearly seen.
Seven golden chains extended from his spinal bone spurs, interweaving into a dense net on his body, forcibly restraining his body which was about to burst.
"Crack, crack..."
An ear-splitting cracking sound came from within his body, as Little Gold's internal organs were reorganizing in the lightning fluid.
The Dao patterns of the Eternal Body of Ten Thousand Tribulations penetrated deep into his bone marrow, transforming the corrosive lightning power into Body Tempering energy.
With each time his organs shattered and reformed, the new organs gained a hint of purple-gold luster.
Little Gold pounded the ground with his six arms, and the creation extreme gold light wheel appeared behind him.
Countless golden particles gushed out from the light wheel, condensing into hundreds of rotating golden vortices on the surface of the lightning pool.
These vortices acted like filters, purifying the violent lightning fluid into ribbon-like pure energy.
"Gulp! Gulp!"
He directly bent down and drank from the lightning pool, his Adam's apple bobbing violently.
With each gulp, a ball of lightning fire exploded on his body surface.
When he drank the last drop of lightning fluid, his entire body had become translucent purple-gold, and through his skin, one could see that what flowed in his blood vessels was no longer blood, but liquid lightning essence!
"Boom—!"
The lightning energy, accumulated to its peak, finally erupted.
Little Gold raised his head and spewed out a purple-gold light pillar over thirty zhang in diameter.
Within the light pillar, nine lightning Dragon phantoms could vaguely be seen coiling.
This breath, which gathered all the lightning fluid essence, shot straight into the nine heavens, blasting a huge annular gap in the thick tribulation clouds, and sunlight poured down like a heavenly river in reverse!
Amidst the sky full of lightning, Little Gold barely managed to stand his thousand-zhang body upright, purple lightning flickering on his golden fur, and liquid lightning madly washing over his body.
He let out waves of painful wails, as if enduring unspeakable torment.
...
"Li Dage!"
Feeling Little Gold's current pain and the weakening of his aura, Xue'er was extremely anxious, looking at Li Mu worriedly.
"Little Gold, he's fine, it's not time yet!"
Li Mu's face was serious, his gaze fixed like a torch on the purplish-black lightning churning deep within the tribulation clouds.
His five fingers in his sleeve formed a seal, and wisps of Chaos True Essence flowed in his palm, ready to offer assistance at any moment.
"The third wave of Lightning Tribulation is nearing its end, but there's something even more terrifying hidden within these tribulation clouds."
Li Mu frowned slightly, staring intently at the thunderclouds, then his pupils suddenly contracted, and he said in a deep voice, "It's Nine Nether Profound Lightning!"
As if to confirm Li Mu's words, nine ink-black lightning chains suddenly emerged from the gap in the tribulation clouds.
The surface of these lightning chains was covered with twisted resentful spirit faces, exuding a suffocatingly cold aura.
The lightning chains coiled around Little Gold's body like venomous snakes, instantly constricting into his flesh, and corrosive black lightning surged wildly into his body through the wounds!
"Ow—!" Little Gold let out a heart-wrenching roar, his thousand-zhang body twitching violently.
His once brilliant golden fur visibly turned gray and white, and the six light wheels behind him successively dimmed.
The most terrifying thing was that the black lightning was actually corroding his Divine Soul, and the Violent Ape Dharma Idol began to show signs of disintegration!
Xue'er's eyes turned red with anxiety: "Li Dage, quickly make a move! Little Gold is going to collapse!"
"Wait a little longer!" Li Mu said again, "Little Gold is fine; the Tongtian Violent Ape's transformation must go through a great tribulation of life and death.
Interfering now would only make all efforts futile!"
Just at this critical moment, a vertical crack suddenly appeared on Little Gold's forehead, and a drop of purple-tinged golden 본명Blood seeped out, transforming into complex ancient Yao Beast patterns in the Void Realm.
The moment these patterns appeared, the entire heaven and earth fell silent!
"Ancestral Blood Awakening!"
Li Mu's eyes blazed with brilliant light.
"Boom—!"
As if ancient war drums were beating, a deafening heartbeat resounded from within Little Gold's body.
His gray and white fur suddenly burst forth with light even more dazzling than the sun, and golden Dao Fire ignited at the tip of every strand of fur.
The Nine Nether Profound Lightning that had invaded his body was forced to retreat by the Dao Fire, eventually condensing into a pitch-black lightning bead in his chest.
Little Gold grabbed the lightning chains on his body with his six arms, his muscles bulging to the extreme.
With an ear-splitting cracking sound, the nine lightning chains were actually torn apart!
The broken lightning chains turned into a sky full of black rain, and before they even landed, he opened his mouth and sucked them all in.
Amidst the sky full of lightning, Little Gold's body trembled violently, and his original thousand-zhang-tall Tongtian Violent Ape true body actually began to rapidly shrink!
"Roar—!"
A long roar shattered thousands of miles of clouds!
His body size, from a mountain-like majestic form, gradually condensed to ten zhang tall.
His golden fur receded, replaced by a layer of purple-gold skin, with profound Dao patterns flowing on its surface, like a naturally formed golden battle armor.
The most astonishing change occurred in the third vertical pupil on his forehead, which now completely opened!
"Buzz—!"
Within the vertical pupil, golden light flowed, as if containing a world of destruction.
Just where his gaze fell, the Void Realm subtly twisted, as if unable to withstand this pressure.
The moment Little Gold completed his transformation, above the sky, the thunderclouds above his head seemed to be enraged, suddenly stagnating.
The tribulation clouds rapidly contracted, as if squeezed by an invisible hand, and the ten thousand li sea of lightning instantly collapsed to a hundred li.
The thick, ink-like tribulation clouds actually solidified into a profound iron color, and dense crimson patterns appeared on the cloud surface.
The center of the tribulation clouds suddenly collapsed into an abyss-like vortex.
Without warning, without thunder, an ancient palace made of lightning vaguely appeared, and the words "Lightning Pool" on its plaque flashed and disappeared.
"It's the manifestation of the main hall of the Thunder Department!"
Li Mu gave a bitter smile, "You little brat, the next few waves of Lightning Tribulation won't be that simple!"
As soon as his words fell, Li Mu's Chaos Dao Body revealed itself, and then, a set of formation plates appeared.
The "Heavenly Evolution Stealth Formation" quickly unfolded, concealing Li Mu's aura within heaven and earth, avoiding the Heavenly Dao's will's perception.
Next, Li Mu casually beckoned, and a Five Elements Talisman Treasure appeared.
"Hmph!"
Li Mu's eyes suddenly burst forth with Chaos Divine Light, and a hazy Dao domain appeared around his body.
This Dao domain seemed both illusory and real, with Yin and Yang undivided within it, and the Five Elements unsettled, as if it did not exist, making it impossible for the Heavenly Dao's will to sense his existence.
"Go."
Li Mu lightly tapped the Five Elements Talisman Treasure with his fingertip, and a wisp of Divine Thought attached to it.
The Talisman Treasure immediately transformed into a stream of light, flying towards Little Gold and sticking to his chest.
Little Gold, who was accumulating strength to deal with the Lightning Tribulation, paused slightly and looked back at Li Mu: "Master, you...!"
"Lightning power manifesting, face the tribulation with all your might, don't be distracted!" Li Mu transmitted.
Upon hearing this, Little Gold's purple-gold body suddenly shook violently, and the vertical pupil on his forehead blazed with golden light.
The Five Elements Talisman Treasure on his chest suddenly lit up, transforming into a five-colored light wheel that enveloped his body, as the power of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth of the Five Elements intertwined and flowed within his body... (End of chapter)
