Chapter 572: Chapter 570: Purple Gold Lightning Tribulation (End of Month seeking Monthly Tickets) _1

Jade Island.

Inside the closed-door cultivation room.

Fang Xi suddenly opened his eyes, looking at the ’Brahma Gold Incense’ that had burnt out, and nodded slightly.

This Heart Demon Tribulation was easier than he had imagined.

After all, after so many years of arduous cultivation, his Dao Heart was quite firm.

Moreover, his Divine Consciousness was strong, and he had mastered the second layer of the ’Seven Emotions and Sorrows Script.’

More importantly, he had external aids like the ’Brahma Gold Incense.’

Thus, he managed the Heart Demon Tribulation with relative ease.

Now, Fang Xi’s mood was extremely calm.

The most difficult Heart Demon Tribulation was over; what were the Elelmental Trials and the Thunder Tribulation to him?

Ultimately, the Transcendent God Tribulation boils down to being a test for the Nascent Soul, but he already had the battle power of a Transcendent God...

Above Jade Island, the Five Elements Primordial Energy rolled tumultuously, putting great pressure on Ling Shu.

Her Escape Light flashed, she landed on the ground, and looking at the clumps of green spiritual energy that had condensed, she couldn’t help but sigh, "The Five Elements Tribulation has begun..."

In reality, for cultivators attempting to breakthrough to Transcendence, if they fail before overcoming the bottleneck of Transcendence, they still have the chance to try again.

But once they break through the bottleneck of Transcendence and then fail to overcome the tribulations of Five Elements Primordial Energy and the nine layers of Thunder Tribulation, they would truly be turned to ashes, with not the slightest hope left.

After a few explanations from Ling Shu, Zhong Hongyu couldn’t help but tighten her grip on her clothes.

At this moment, the green spiritual clouds were tumbling, turning into giant trees and crashing down with a bang!

On those giant trees, there were also countless emerald green vines that appeared, and on the vines, numerous densely packed runes faintly emerged, bursting with astonishing spiritual energy!

The first trial of the Five Elements Tribulation, the Wood Tribulation!

Cling!

A streak of blue light appeared above Evergreen Hall, it was Fang Xi in a green robe!

He held the Green Barley Sword, flicked it with his finger, and the blade let out a dragon chanting sound, evidently aiming to emulate the Fang Immortal Taoist Master and shatter the Celestial Tribulation with a single sword!

"Go!"

Fang Xi slashed with the Green Barley Sword, and the sky swirled with blue threads all over the void.

The giant trees that fell were evenly sliced into countless pieces by the blue threads, the vines were severed root by root, then thoroughly ground into dust and converted into pure wood spiritual energy.

"Collect!"

Fang Xi opened his mouth, and spheres of blue light kept condensing and, like pills, were swallowed to replenish his magic power.

"The Island Master is indeed an unrivaled sword cultivator; this swordsmanship of refining swords into threads is extremely rare even among Nascent Soul old monsters," remarked Liu Xu softly, her eyes shining as she witnessed this scene.

Now, the sky was a shade of red, with streaks of Fire Formation Divine Light stretching across the heavens, transforming into the fires of Heaven Tribulation.

Beside Fang Xi, a figure flashed, and Zhang Huohua’s silhouette appeared.

He emotionlessly slapped the top of his head, his Heterodox Nascent Soul sprang out from his Heavenly Spirit, smilingly pinched a magic seal, and spat out a jet of pitch-black flames.

—Six Paths Demon Flames!

The ever-changing Demon Flames roared into the sky, enveloping the entire heaven, seemingly intending to refine the fires of Heaven Tribulation!

The fires of Heaven Tribulation for Transcendence were rare types of flame, and Fang Xi certainly wouldn’t miss it.

At this time, the Six Paths Demon Flames bore the deadly cold of the Ghost Fire of Yellow Spring, as well as the unpredictability of the Three Yang Sub-fire... Executing various demonic fire powers, they devoured the Heaven Tribulation fires bit by bit, with not even one reaching Fang Xi.

When the fires of Heaven Tribulation had passed, the divine sand of an earthy yellow color poured down forming a long river...

After the divine sand, there came countless golden blades...

With a thunderous roar in the void, a small gray tower appeared, its surface flickering with silver light.

Fang Xi stood under this tower, enduring the baptism of divine sand and golden blades, holding an air of All Laws Immunity.

Eventually, he clasped his hands in a seal, the Devil-locking Tower radiated brightly, the grey-white glow swept over, and absorbed all of the divine sand and golden blades, making them disappear without a trace.

Gurgle!

The last transformation of the Five Elements Primordial Energy Tribulation emerged, clumps of profound black ebon water surged from beneath the earth.

The intense vibrations even made Jade Island tremble, the land cracked open, and in the deepest part was a faintly quivering green-skinned gourd.

"Suppress!"

Fang Xi had long anticipated this trick, the Yin Yang Nine Nether Mysterious Wood Array rumbled, blocking the connection to the Ninety-nine Green Vine Gourds with trails of black mist, and beyond that gap, he applied another seventeen or eighteen seals...

A barely audible curse seemed to travel up from the depths of the ground before swiftly fading away.

Gurgle!

The profound black ebon water spread around Evergreen Hall, appearing to corrode everything; the spirit medicines in the garden, the green jade tiles... all were quickly eroded, turned to the same black water.

But in the next moment, roots of the Ancestral Demon Tree appeared.

They quickly plunged into the profound black ebon water, seemingly drawing on such pure water elemental power, making the Demon Tree even greener.

In an instant, the endless black water was all absorbed by the Demon Tree, vanishing from sight...

After the tribulation of Five Elements Primordial Energy passed, Fang Xi moved his Divine Consciousness and felt an even closer connection to the Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Power, and couldn’t help but smile slightly.

There were also benefits after surviving the tribulation! This was indeed a turn for the better!

Boom!

Following the Five Elements Tribulation, the sky for thousands of miles was darkened, lightning danced wildly, and an obscure pressure emerged.

Even Ling Shu’s Nascent Soul trembled under this pressure, showing unease.

Because this was ’Heavenly Might’!

Heaven Tribulation... descended!

With a thunderous boom, a cyan-golden thunderbolt, capable of obliterating the majority of late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, fiercely flashed in the heavens, as if smashing down with the authority of the nine skies!

Fang Xi yawned, and three Spirit Treasures appeared around him, namely ’Life-Death Seal’, ’Devil-locking Tower’, and ’Green Barley Sword’!

Each of these treasures was of the finest grade among Spirit Treasures, and having accompanied him through the Transcendent God Tribulation, their bond would become even tighter, and their might even greater in the future!

Especially the ’Life-Death Seal’!

In fact, this was Fang Xi’s life-bound Spirit Treasure, which he would not use lightly. Once used, it was sure to take lives.

And after several rounds of nurturing with the ’Treasure Planting Jue’, its foundation had become unimaginably profound. It was as if a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator had abandoned cultivation, expending hundreds of years of Primordial Energy and painstaking effort to refine it, and what was even more precious was that it was completely in tune with his own thoughts!

After undergoing this round of thunder tribulation, the ’Life-Death Seal’ would also lay the foundation for promotion to a fifth-tier Spirit Communicating Treasure in the future!

However, ’Green Barley Sword’ and ’Devil-locking Tower’ were not so fortunate, as they were not life-bound magical artifacts and had limited potential.

Fang Xi took out these three Spirit Treasures, but not to resist the thunder tribulation.

He chanted a spell, and a three-colored armor appeared on his body, bursting with astonishing radiance—the ’Thousands Demon Armor’!

This armor was woven from the fiery-red feathers of a Heavenly Phoenix and the scales of a Kylin, with shoulder guards depicting a Flood Dragon opening its mouth, and a chest-protective mirror marked by the patterns of a Profound Turtle, shaking its head and wagging its tail adorably.

Whenever Fang Xi made the slightest movement, phantoms of the Heavenly Phoenix, Flood Dragon, and Profound Turtle would emerge from the ’Thousands Demon Armor’, following his every move...

Even though he had only collected the Essence Blood of three fifth-tier members of the Monster Clan royalty, which amounted to the ’Three Holy Beast Armor’, Fang Xi had long since become accustomed to embracing imperfection.

After all, his initial plan had been that completing the ’Small Four Spirits Armor’ would be quite sufficient.

He had already far exceeded expectations.

"The ’Thousands Demon Armor Secret Skills’ boasts the power to weaken Heaven Tribulation, and now it is time to see the truth..."

Fang Xi murmured, spreading his hands as a tri-colored radiance emerged from the ’Thousands Demon Armor,’ transforming into a huge light screen.

Crack!

The thunderbolt relentlessly struck the tri-colored light screen, causing it to nearly collapse, as countless lightning bolts danced and flickered... but ultimately dissipated into nothingness.

Boom, boom, boom!

The Heavenly Thunder continued in succession, striking the tri-colored light screen, causing rosy light to reveal cracks one after another.

Finally...

As the sixth bolt of Heavenly Thunder descended, after dispelling the majority of its might, it perished alongside the tri-colored divine light!

The remnants of the Heavenly Thunder landed on Fang Xi, easily borne by his ’Three Holy Beast Armor’, and with a flick of his finger, three arcs of electricity fell onto the ’Life-Death Seal’ and the other two great Spirit Treasures, apparently refining their very essence...

Whoosh, whoosh!

The fierce wind howled, and thunderclouds swept the sky!

The cyan and golden thunderbolt struck with increasing intensity, its color gradually changing, tinged with streaks of purple.

"Purple Gold Bicolor Thunder Tribulation?!"

Fang Xi’s expression was extremely solemn, as he thought of the kind of tribulation that destroyed the Ancestral Demon Tree!

A sense of extreme danger continuously stimulated his Spirit Sense.

’I didn’t expect... I’d receive such treatment too.’

He laughed inwardly with a bitter smile and fiercely hammered the Three Holy Beast Armor.

Chirp, chirp!

Roar, roar!

Aooo!

Three phantom figures of the Heavenly Phoenix, Crocodile, and Profound Turtle appeared and rapidly went from illusion to solid forms in midair, welcoming the seventh bolt of thunder descending from the vault of heaven!

This thunder displayed a purple and golden bicolor, with the capability of destruction.

Caught in a tangle with the three great phantoms, its might was abruptly reduced by thirty percent, striking heavily upon the ’Thousands Demon Armor’.

The armor let out a mournful cry, revealing a trace of a crack.

Fang Xi also grunted, blood tricking from his mouth and nose...

Even with his exceptionally formidable body refining physique, under the Heaven Tribulation, he was ultimately injured!

"Young Master!"

Zhong Hongyu’s eyes reddened slightly, as she was held back by Ling Shu: "The Heaven Tribulation Master Island is undergoing differs from the descriptions in ancient books; its might has surged... If you go now, you would only harm yourself and others."

It is normally a very private affair for cultivators to traverse their tribulation, and interference from outsiders would only backfire.

Even though Ice Xuanzi defended the Bai family ancestor during his tribulation as a protector, he merely guarded the outskirts, preventing external disturbances... The actual tribulation still had to be shouldered by the Bai family ancestor himself.

"But..."

Zhong Hongyu looked at the Heaven Tribulation, once again radiating with purple-gold color, and her face involuntarily showed a hint of terror as she noticed silver seal scripts emerging within the Heavenly Might.

’Is it because I have defied the heavens too much?’

’Yet, following the path of humans makes one human, going against it leads to becoming an immortal! The cultivation of a cultivator is naturally a defiance of the heavens!’

Fang Xi laughed heartily, his thoughts moving and his Divine Consciousness extending limitlessly, connecting with the 365 ’Stellar Pagodas’.

Heaven Star Array... activate!

For a cultivator to use treasures to traverse their tribulation is quite fitting.

This ’Heaven Star Array’ is also my Origin Soul magical artifact!

Crack!

As if tearing the nine heavens, a thunderbolt, even more massive than before with a purple-and-gold hue, roared down, with silver seal scripts also burgeoning within the Thunder Light!

"Go!"

The embodiment of the Heaven Star Array’s master manifested, hands forming seals, as a ’Sun Moon Five Stars Demonic Destruction Divine Light’ greeted the thunderbolt...
