Seeing the might of the Lightning Tribulation, Li Mu's expression changed slightly. He immediately cast the Spirit Control Divine Ability - Soul Fusion, merging his soul with the Green-Eyed Golden Ape, temporarily gaining control of its body.
"Boom—"
The moment Li Mu's Primordial Spirit fused with Xiao Jin's demon soul, the entire world suddenly fell into an eerie stillness. The dust floating in the scorched pit solidified in the air, the lightning snakes flickering in the tribulation clouds remained in twisted poses, and even the extended Lightning Dragon Claw was suspended at the edge of the crack.
"This is..." Xiao Jin was startled to realize that his consciousness, with Li Mu's Soul Fusion, was lifted to a higher dimension by some great power, as if standing above the River of Time, looking down at the battlefield.
Just then, Li Mu's voice resounded directly from the depths of his Divine Soul, confidently saying, "Watch closely, this is the true usage of the Six Extremes Golden Wheel."
As soon as his voice fell, Li Mu, in Soul Fusion, urged Xiao Jin's body to quickly form a seal: "Six Extremes Return to One!"
The Six Extremes Golden Wheel behind the Green-Eyed Golden Ape burst forth with brilliant Spiritual Qi. The first 【Eternal Golden Body of Myriad Tribulations】 and the fifth 【Extreme Gold of Creation】 fused, transforming into liquid battle armor that covered its entire body;
The third 【Sharp Gold of Dao Devouring】 and the sixth 【Eternal Battle Soul Gold】 resonated, condensing into a Fangtian Huaji (halberd) wrapped in Battle Intent patterns;
The second 【Void Realm Geng Metal】 and the fourth 【Nine Nether Dark Gold】 transformed into a dimensional barrier, forming a shield that warped the Law of space.
"Boom—"
From the depths of the tribulation clouds, the Lightning Dragon Claw fully extended, condensed from pure Lightning Tribulation Law. Wherever its claw tips passed, the Void Realm shattered inch by inch. However, Xiao Jin, controlled by Li Mu, merely clenched his hand, and the Fangtian Huaji suddenly broke through the air. The black hole-like vortex at its tip swallowed all the lightning, then sharply flicked upwards.
"Crack!"
The dragon claw's scales exploded, the Lightning Tribulation wailed, and the entire dragon claw was forcibly severed, transforming into a sky full of lightning rain.
The tribulation clouds surged violently, seemingly thoroughly enraged, and the scale of the thunderclouds shrank again.
"Rumble—"
From the depths of the tribulation clouds came nine thunderous roars that shattered the Void Realm, striking Xiao Jin's Divine Soul with the sound of heavenly punishment. Fortunately, with Li Mu's Soul Fusion, Xiao Jin easily withstood this wave of thunderous attacks due to the immense power of his Divine Soul.
A chasm-like Rift suddenly opened in the center of the thunderclouds, which had shrunk by more than half, revealing a black Dragon Claw entirely condensed from Lightning Tribulation Law. The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was instantly drawn into a vacuum!
"Tear—"
The moment that pitch-black Dragon Claw extended, the space within a thousand li radius was torn open like fragile silk, revealing five hideous cracks. The black lightning patterns entwined around the claw tips were actually the legendary "Nirvana Profound Lightning."
In the Soul Fusion state, Xiao Jin clearly felt the immense terror contained within that black Dragon Claw. Just by making eye contact, his demon soul was greatly suppressed. If not for Li Mu's protection with his Divine Soul, his Divine Soul would probably have suffered heavy damage by now.
"Boom—"
That pitch-black Dragon Claw, entirely condensed from Nirvana Profound Lightning, suddenly accelerated. The trajectory of its claw tips left five Eternal lightning marks in the Void Realm.
Li Mu controlled Xiao Jin's body to advance instead of retreat. The Fangtian Huaji, formed by the Fusion of the Six Extremes Golden Wheel, suddenly erupted with dazzling golden light. The Battle Intent patterns entwined on the halberd body were like awakened ancient Vicious Beasts.
"Clang—!!!"
The moment the halberd collided with the Dragon Claw, it unleashed a metallic clang loud enough to shatter mountains. The space at the center of the collision shattered layer by layer like a mirror, revealing the chaotic Void Realm turbulence behind it. The Nirvana Profound Lightning flickering on the black Dragon Claw frantically eroded the halberd body, while the Fangtian Huaji continuously released the Sharp Gold Qi that devoured all things.
"Crack..."
Fine cracks suddenly spread across the surface of the Dragon Claw. The Lightning Tribulation Law, reputed to be Eternal, was actually shattered by the power of the Five Elements Extreme Gold contained within the Fangtian Huaji!
Xiao Jin's body also fell to the ground.
"Boom—"
Xiao Jin's thousand-zhang demon body plunged into the scorched earth like a meteor, smashing a giant pit a thousand zhang in diameter into the already fragmented ground. In the smoke, his golden armor was completely shattered, and his newly grown fur was scorched black and curled by the Nirvana Profound Lightning. Golden blood mixed with lightning continuously overflowed from his seven orifices.
"Cough, cough, cough."
In the Soul Fusion state, Li Mu clearly felt Xiao Jin's internal organs churning. The devoured Nirvana Profound Lightning was rampaging through his Meridians, and each lightning bolt tore away large amounts of flesh and blood. Even more troublesome was the Lightning Tribulation Law that had invaded his demon core—these black lightning patterns were like a parasitic growth, polluting the most Origin Extreme Gold power.
Li Mu controlled Xiao Jin's body, grabbed the Five Elements Talisman Treasure on his chest, and fully activated its talisman power. Five streams of light surged out from the Five Elements Talisman Treasure, actually evolving into a miniature Zhou Tian Star Chart. The Azure Dragon wood of the East, the Vermilion Bird fire of the South, the White Tiger gold of the West, the Black Tortoise water of the North, and the Central Hook Chen earth, the five great constellations each occupied their positions, connected by delicate threads of Spiritual Qi, forming a perfect Five Elements cycle.
"Five Elements Cycle, Gold governs slaughter!"
With a clear shout from Li Mu, the gold element constellation representing the Western White Tiger in the Star Chart suddenly erupted with dazzling white light. The other four constellations rotated accordingly. The water element constellation surged with black waves, irrigating the wood element. The wood element constellation drew out thousands of green vines, igniting the fire element. The fire element constellation transformed into crimson lava, solidifying the earth element. The earth element constellation finally disintegrated into a sky full of golden sand—the immense Spiritual Qi generated by the entire Five Elements cycle, at this moment, was entirely transformed into the purest Extreme Gold Origin.
These golden lights poured down like the Nine Heavens Milky Way, completely enveloping Xiao Jin's damaged body. Within the golden light, countless tiny runes flowed, containing the ultimate gold Law.
The scorched dead skin on Xiao Jin's body peeled off in flakes like a snake shedding its skin, revealing the newly grown skin beneath—which was no longer flesh and blood, but rather spirit-jade bones with a metallic luster.
"Roar!"
Feeling the surging power within his body, Xiao Jin couldn't help but let out a long roar to the sky. The six dim golden wheels behind him re-lit, shining incomparably brightly.
"Boom crack—"
Three purple lightning pillars suddenly exploded in the depths of the tribulation clouds. From within the lightning pillars, a Dragon Claw entirely condensed from lightning essence extended.
The three Dragon Claws were all different in form: the first was entwined with green and purple breaking-void lightning fiend, leaving spiderweb-like spatial cracks wherever it passed; the second was entirely crimson, and the dripping lightning plasma at its claw tips melted the ground into bottomless holes; the third glowed with a faint blue cold light, and the water vapor within a hundred li instantly condensed into ice crystals, falling rustlingly.
The moment the three claws appeared simultaneously, the Heavenly Dao Laws fell into Chaos. The spatial turbulence stirred by the green and purple lightning claw and the extreme cold Domain created by the faint blue lightning claw tore at each other, while the fiery lightning spewed by the crimson lightning claw erupted with Chaos energy in the clash of ice and fire.
The earth within a thousand li radius was like a shattered chessboard. The rock layers were lifted, then frozen in mid-air, and then blasted into powder by the lightning fire.
The golden light in Li Mu's eyes surged. His Divine Soul completely resonated with Xiao Jin. The Six Extremes Golden Wheel spun wildly behind him. The six types of Extreme Gold Dao Laws no longer dispersed but intertwined with each other, transforming into a golden torrent that pierced through Heaven and Earth!
"Six Extremes Return to One, Gold Dao Reaches the Heavens!"
First Extreme · Eternal Golden Body of Myriad Tribulations — Eternal Unbreakable Body!
Xiao Jin's body suddenly swelled. His entire flesh and blood transformed into pure gold Dao patterns. His bones were like divine iron, his Meridians like Law chains, and ancient gold patterns appeared on the surface of his skin, allowing him to withstand the Lightning Tribulation without the slightest damage!
Second Extreme · Void Realm Geng Metal — Myriad Blades Break the Void!
Xiao Jin's arms shook, and countless golden cracks suddenly appeared within a thousand zhang radius around him, giving birth to "Void Realm Geng Metal Blades" that cut, shredded, and devoured the incoming Lightning Tribulation into the endless Void Realm!
Third Extreme · Sharp Gold of Dao Devouring — Nothing Unbreakable!
The Fangtian Huaji suddenly disintegrated, transforming into billions of hair-thin golden rays that surged against the tribulation clouds like a rainstorm, releasing endless "Dao Devouring" power, piercing through the lightning claws, devouring the Lightning Tribulation Law, causing it to disintegrate and annihilate!
Fourth Extreme · Nine Nether Dark Gold — Extreme Yin Suppresses Tribulation!
The earth surged, and countless pitch-black chains broke out of the ground, coiling around the three lightning claws. "Nine Nether Gold Fiend" flowed on the chains, freezing the lightning, eroding the Law. The moment the Lightning Tribulation was entangled, its power drastically reduced, as if trapped in a quagmire!
Fifth Extreme · Extreme Gold of Creation — Myriad Weapons Return to Flow!
Liquid gold surged out from Xiao Jin's body, instantly evolving into myriad divine weapons—golden bells suppressing souls, golden swords cleaving lightning... Each divine weapon carried different Laws of slaughter, endlessly regenerating, colliding wildly with the Lightning Tribulation!
Sixth Extreme · Eternal Battle Soul Gold — Battle Intent Shakes the Heavens!
Xiao Jin roared to the sky, and a ten-thousand-zhang golden armored War God phantom appeared behind him, wielding a giant axe, his Battle Intent soaring to the heavens! The Battle Soul's axe cleaved down. Wherever the axe light passed, the tribulation clouds split open, the lightning claws shattered, and the sky trembled!
"Boom—!!!"
The Six Extremes merged into one, and the golden torrent surged upwards, colliding with the three lightning claws with a thunderous roar!
The green and purple lightning claw was pierced by the "Sharp Gold of Dao Devouring," the crimson lightning claw was frozen by the "Nine Nether Dark Gold," and the faint blue lightning claw was shattered by an axe from the "Eternal Battle Soul Gold"! A huge hole was forcibly blasted in the center of the tribulation clouds, allowing heavenly light to penetrate. The thunderclouds condensed from the Heavenly Dao Will were torn open by this strike!
Xiao Jin stood in mid-air, the Six Extremes Golden Wheel rotating behind him like a sun, radiating brilliant golden light that illuminated ten thousand li!
The tribulation clouds surged wildly, and the torn gap healed at a visible speed. A dull roar came from the depths of the sky, as if the Heavenly Dao was enraged, vowing to completely erase this Heaven-Defying existence!
"Boom—"
The tribulation clouds shrank again. This time, they condensed to less than a hundred zhang. From the pitch-black cloud mass, three giant Dragon Claws emerged simultaneously, then slowly merged into one, transforming into a purple-gold Dragon Claw that blotted out the sky!
The moment this claw appeared, Heaven and Earth lost their color!
This strike was no ordinary Lightning Tribulation, but the materialization of the Heavenly Dao Will!
"Roar—!" Xiao Jin roared to the sky, the Six Extremes Golden Wheel spun wildly, and the six types of Extreme Gold Dao Laws completely fused at this moment, transforming into a dazzling golden sun, suspended above his head!
"Six Extremes Return to One · Extreme Gold Dao Domain!"
Li Mu controlled Xiao Jin, forming hand seals. The golden sun suddenly expanded, transforming into an independent world!
In this world—
The Eternal Golden Body of Myriad Tribulations transformed into the earth, indestructible!
The Void Realm Geng Metal transformed into the sky, cutting all things!
The Sharp Gold of Dao Devouring transformed into stars, devouring everything!
The Nine Nether Dark Gold transformed into the netherworld, freezing the Law!
The Extreme Gold of Creation transformed into myriad things, endlessly regenerating!
The Eternal Battle Soul Gold transformed into will, battling Heaven and Earth!
"Boom—!"
The purple-gold Dragon Claw descended with a crash, colliding fiercely with the Extreme Gold Dao Domain!
"Clang—!"
The entire world fell silent. Then, a dazzling light erupted, causing the sun and moon to lose their luster. The space at the center of the collision was completely annihilated, revealing a pitch-black Void Realm.
Just as the Extreme Gold Dao Domain and the purple-gold Dragon Claw were in a stalemate, Li Mu's Chaos Dao Body suddenly burst forth with Chaos Power. His body seemed to transform into a nascent Heaven and Earth. His internal organs evolved into the Five Elements Origin, and Chaos Qi flowed through his Meridians.
"Five Elements Talisman Treasure, dissolve!"
With a clear shout from Li Mu, the Five Elements Talisman Treasure pasted on Xiao Jin's chest suddenly disintegrated, transforming into five streams of Origin light that immersed into Xiao Jin's body.
The Azure Dragon wood talisman immersed into the liver, full of vitality.
The Vermilion Bird fire talisman sank into the heart, with raging flames.
The White Tiger gold talisman returned to the lungs, sharp and exposed.
The Black Tortoise water talisman flowed into the kidneys, vast and profound.
The Hook Chen earth talisman fused into the spleen, heavy as a mountain.
"Chaos gives birth to Five Elements, Five Elements derive Extreme Gold!"
As Li Mu fully activated his Chaos Dao Body, the five Origin powers continuously poured into Xiao Jin's body through the Soul Fusion connection. The Extreme Gold Dao Domain, which was on the verge of collapse, suddenly shone brightly.
Xiao Jin, as if injected with a stimulant, spread all six of his arms. The six golden wheels behind him merged with a roar, transforming into a golden sun of ultimate brilliance! Within the great sun, endless gold Law intertwined, evolving into an Extreme Gold world!
"Six Extremes Return to One, Gold Dao Suppresses the Heavens!"
Xiao Jin swung his fists with both hands, smashing towards the three-colored lightning claw in the sky, erupting with earth-shattering explosions, directly confronting the Lightning Tribulation, striking with heavy punches, smashing the purple-gold Dragon Claw to pieces. The power of the Lightning Tribulation also frantically eroded his Physical Body, large areas of his golden fur were scorched black, his skin cracked, and blood seeped out!
But Xiao Jin was completely oblivious, the golden light in his eyes blazing, his Battle Intent growing even more ferocious!
"Boom!"
Finally, the purple-gold lightning claw was forcibly smashed by Xiao Jin. He roared to the sky, his voice shaking the Nine Heavens!
A dull thud, like a bubble popping, was heard. As the purple-gold lightning claw exploded, the sky full of tribulation clouds surged wildly, but like headless flies, they lost control.
Xiao Jin stood proudly on the clouds, the six light wheels operating at full power, devouring the scattered tribulation clouds like a whale swallowing the ocean, drawing them into his body.
When the last wisp of lightning was absorbed, seven-colored auspicious light suddenly descended from the sky. These light spots fell upon Xiao Jin's body.
Above the sky, seven-colored auspicious clouds slowly rotated, descending streams of Creation Divine Light. Xiao Jin's fifteen hundred zhang demon body underwent astonishing transformations while bathed in the divine light:
His scorched fur peeled off in flakes like gold foil, and his newly grown fur presented a flowing metallic texture, reflecting seven-colored brilliance in the sunlight. At the site of his original hideous wounds, flesh and blood reorganized into crystalline gold-jade bones, and what flowed through his Meridians was no longer blood, but liquid Extreme Gold essence.
The six golden wheels behind him completely materialized, transforming into six brilliant Dao Seals:
The Eternal Wheel of Myriad Tribulations transformed into the 【Eternal Golden Wheel】, with a map of mountains and rivers appearing on its surface.
The Void Realm Geng Gold Wheel evolved into the 【Grand Void Golden Wheel】, containing three thousand Void Realm blades.
The Sharp Gold of Dao Devouring Wheel condensed into the 【Return to Void Golden Wheel】, with a black hole at its center devouring all things.
The Nine Nether Dark Gold Wheel transformed into the 【Profound Nether Golden Wheel】, entwined with Nine Nether chains.
The Extreme Gold of Creation Wheel achieved the 【Myriad Manifestations Golden Wheel】, capable of evolving myriad divine weapons.
The Eternal Battle Soul Wheel advanced to the 【Battle Golden Wheel】, with Battle Intent condensing into a tangible battle robe.
It was its six golden wheels behind it, re-condensing an Extreme Gold Dao Law, spreading out like a crown, about to nurture the next new type of Extreme Gold Dao Law.
Li Mu retracted his Chaos Dao Body and released his Soul Fusion Divine Ability with Xiao Jin. A look of relief flashed in his eyes, and he sighed, "Body Tempering through tribulation, soul nourishment through battle. Today, it truly became an Extreme Gold Battle Body."
"Success!"
Seeing Xiao Jin, who had successfully undergone Tribulation, Xue'er was overjoyed, weeping tears of happiness.
"More than just success!" Li Mu looked at Xiao Jin, who was enjoying the Heavenly Tribulation's gift, and whispered, "Devouring Spirit Perfection, Body Tempering through tribulation. Its current Bloodline purity has reached that of the Tongtian Violent Ape ancestors of ancient times!"
As if responding to Li Mu's assessment, Xiao Jin, having completed his transformation, suddenly turned his head to look. The golden light from his third vertical eye gradually receded and slowly closed, leaving a brilliant golden mark on his glabella. His fifteen hundred zhang demon body gradually shrank within the auspicious clouds, finally transforming into a ten-zhang tall Golden Ape, stepping through the air to arrive.
"Master!"
With a "thump!" his heavy knees landed on the scorched earth, shaking the ground within a hundred li radius. Xiao Jin knelt on one knee, the six golden wheels slowly rotating behind him, gathering the sky full of auspicious light into a pillar of light that shone upon Li Mu.
"Between us, there's no need for formalities. Get up!"
Li Mu smiled slightly, reaching out to gently lift Xiao Jin, who was kneeling.
Although Li Mu did not achieve an Epiphany of the nine perfect Extreme Gold Dao Laws by assisting Xiao Jin in Undergoing Tribulation this time, he did comprehend six of them, greatly shortening the time spent on comprehending the Extreme Gold Dao Laws. He was one step closer to deducing the nine complete "Extreme Gold Powers." (End of Chapter)
