Grandma of Qianqian looked at Zhang Bowen and asked,
“Are you really going to capture Qianqian?”
Zhang Bowen nodded without hesitation, then said,
“But don’t worry!”
“I’ve already made an agreement with the Jiaosnake.”
“He won’t harm anyone from the Kunlun Ancient Clan.”
“Otherwise, the ritual of bestowal would fail.”
……
With Zhang Bowen’s arrival, the great serpent of Qinglong Grave also entered the Yin pole side of Yushan Yaochi.
The mountain spirits and water souls transformed into the image of young Qianqian, emerging from the Yaochi.
A semi-transparent little girl hovered in the air.
“The Jiaosnake has arrived!”
A clear, ethereal voice echoed throughout the Kunlun mountain range.
Chen Feng, who was hurrying along, heard the voice and felt a surge of anxiety.
With his current strength, confronting the Jiaosnake was impossible.
He only wanted to stop Zhang Bowen from capturing Qianqian.
Though he couldn’t prevent the Jiaosnake from transforming into a dragon,
he at least had to protect his disciple.
Moreover, if Qianqian were captured,
given the bond between Qilin and Qianqian, it would definitely be affected.
At the same time, Chen Feng harbored another thought:
To kill Zhang Bowen!
While Kunlun had not yet fully opened,
and the ancient clan’s qi and blood were still suppressed,
this was the best chance to kill Zhang Bowen.
Once Kunlun opened,
and Zhang Bowen regained his Martial Saint cultivation,
there would be nothing Chen Feng could do.
……
Inside Yushan Yaochi, a deep, aged voice suddenly rang out.
“Linghe! The time has come!”
The Xuan Turtle roared loudly.
Linghe flapped its wings fiercely toward the Zhu Fruit tree.
A whirlwind swept through.
The whole tree creaked under the force.
All the Zhu Fruits and leaves fell off.
The Qilin transformed into a streak of lightning, rushing toward the Zhu Fruits and began devouring them wildly.
Linghe and Xuan Turtle did the same,
continuously swallowing the Zhu Fruits one after another.
In the blink of an eye,
tens of thousands of Zhu Fruits were divided among the three spiritual beasts.
This was their final preparation before battle.
At the same time,
a massive black shadow appeared in the Yaochi.
The shadow opened its huge mouth and sucked in fiercely.
The Changchun Spring in the Yaochi was instantly drained dry.
The now empty Yaochi was left with only a patch of gray chaotic mist.
Suddenly, a giant snake head surged out.
Because the Jiaosnake entered from the Yin pole into the Yang pole,
the Zixiao Divine Thunder Tribulation above the Kunlun mountain range suddenly dissipated.
Instead, it began to gather again above Yushan Yaochi on the Yang pole side.
……
In Kunlun City, the crowd was evacuating urgently.
People ran while glancing back at the storm.
But in the next moment, the sky quickly brightened.
The dark clouds dispersed at an unnatural speed,
until the sky was completely clear again,
as if nothing had happened before.
“What’s going on?”
“Why did the storm just disappear?”
“Could it be that we were mistaken?”
“Maybe the Jiaosnake’s dragon transformation is over?”
“So quickly? I thought it would strike twice.”
……
With the Kunlun storm gone,
everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
In the Sacred Capital,
Ye Wujiang and several other major families received the news and confirmed it multiple times.
Though they didn’t understand what had happened,
the disappearance of the storm gave them a glimmer of hope.
“Looks like nothing has changed after all!”
"There's still no sign of anything unusual beyond the Kunlun Mountains."
"Could it have failed?"
"I read in a novel that the probability of failing the Heavenly Tribulation is quite high."
"Is it possible that it’s actually just some kind of special natural phenomenon?"
……
The Martial Arts Guild waited for a long time but saw no abnormalities.
They immediately issued an announcement:
【The Kunlun Mountain Range crisis has been resolved thanks to the relentless efforts of the Martial Arts Guild!】
【For detailed information, please await further updates!】
……
Kunlun City.
Dugu Sword Demon stared at the direction of the Kunlun Mountains, puzzled.
He couldn’t understand what was going on.
How could that thunderstorm, one even he dared to fear, suddenly vanish?
……
At Yushan Yaochi Yang Pole.
The thunderstorm condensed once again.
This time, the speed of its formation was ten times faster than before.
The original dark clouds had transformed into sunset-red clouds.
As the storm gathered, lightning struck.
A dragon-shaped Purple Sky Divine Thunder crashed down with a deafening roar.
Its dazzling purple light illuminated the entire Yushan Yaochi.
The body of the flood dragon was struck heavily.
Its scales shattered and scattered.
The massive body slammed onto the ground.
The spirit crane and qilin dared not face the Purple Sky Divine Thunder and quickly distanced themselves from the flood dragon.
The black tortoise withdrew its head into its shell, avoiding the terrifying strike.
After the first Purple Sky Divine Thunder struck,
the flood dragon stared at the sky in terror.
It had long anticipated the terror of the Heavenly Tribulation,
but it had never imagined it would be this dreadful.
Its scaled armor was its strongest defense,
yet the very first thunderbolt shattered a third of its scales.
Blood slowly trickled down its serpent body.
The entire valley trembled at that moment.
At the same time,
the ancient clan members suddenly discovered their qi and blood surging wildly within them.
Almost instantly,
everyone broke through to the Master realm.
“My qi and blood cultivation just broke through!”
“Mine too!”
“This is the power of the Heavenly Tribulation! The qi and blood suppression of Kunlun has been shaken!”
“That was only the first lightning bolt — it’s just getting started.”
“On average, each person’s qi and blood increased by about a thousand points.”
……
Zhang Bowen pulled out a qi and blood monitoring device.
He observed the cultivation levels of everyone present.
Now, everyone within sight had qi and blood values around two thousand.
At the edge of the Kunlun Mountain Range,
the sealed mountain mist began to stir.
It grew thinner and thinner.
Dugu Sword Demon, who originally thought the matter was over,
became alert once again.
“The sealed mountain mist is thinning — that’s a sign the mountain is about to open!”
“Could it be that the flood dragon’s transformation into a dragon succeeded so quickly?”
……
At Yushan Yaochi.
The flood dragon’s huge vertical pupil
immediately spotted the mountain spirit and water soul, now floating in the air as a little girl.
Without hesitation, it opened its mouth and lunged to swallow the mountain spirit and water soul.
The flood dragon knew
that if it didn’t swallow the mountain spirit and water soul, or the auspicious qilin,
this transformation into a dragon would definitely fail.
The mountain spirit and water soul widened their curious eyes,
looking at the giant mouth rushing toward them.
There was no trace of joy, anger, sorrow, or fear.
Only innocent confusion in their eyes.
“The speed is too fast! I can’t dodge!”
The ethereal, youthful voice echoed once more through the Kunlun Mountains.
At that moment,
the flood dragon’s body, which had just sprung forward,
suddenly halted.
It felt a sharp, intense pain coming from its tail.
Turning around to look.
The once lush green spirit crane had now grown to a towering hundred meters.
Its sharp beak drove straight through, pinning the tail to the ground.
The flood dragon twisted around and snapped fiercely at the spirit crane.
A crisp crack echoed.
The venomous fangs shattered.
A colossal black tortoise, over ten times larger, stood resolutely before the spirit crane.
At the same moment, a streak of lightning tore across the sky.
Scales from the flood dragon scattered like petals in the wind.
Claw marks ripped across its body in multiple places.
Yet, having devoured the dragon essence of the Azure Dragon's tomb, the flood dragon’s body rapidly regenerated.
Still, its recovery struggled to keep pace with the destructive force of the thunder tribulation.
The lightning returned.
An intense purple radiance illuminated the entire valley.
Thunder roared in response!
Like a dragon’s roar echoing through the nine heavens, it exploded with earth-shattering force!
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
world slacker. But a genius female disciple just had to get clingy, insisting that he take her as a disciple. Not only that, she was always making advances on him, thoroughly disrupting his peaceful slacker life...
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
