Chapter 226 Nine Thunder Tribulations

Outside the Jingyuan Xuan Palace, thousands of crows descended and swooped down towards the mountain protection formation, like a vicious wave sweeping across a thousand miles of land, trying to swallow up the Xuan Palace built in the mountains.

Above the mountain palace, precious mirrors flew up into the sky. There were thousands of them arranged in a formation. A white light filled the air and enveloped the Xuan Palace, as if the palace had disappeared and turned into a pure white void.

Countless black crows flew in without causing the slightest ripple, as if there was a world hidden in it that could block everything.

Nangong Yuan, who saw this scene, sneered and said, "How dare you, a mere small sect, be so arrogant? My Thousand Mirrors Abyssal Formation is not something that your small sect can break through."

Chen Ming glanced at the scene below him, his eyes slightly fixed, but he still said: "So what? I want to see whether your Jingyuan Xuan Palace's formation is more powerful or my Qi Ling's army of ten thousand puppets is more powerful!

Nangong Yuan, I heard that you are a rare genius golden elixir in Jingyuan Realm, so I came here today to learn from you!

Do you have the courage?

“Haha, you, a one-life golden elixir, dare to act so arrogantly in front of me! Then let me show you one or two of my skills!” Nangong Yuan sneered and pointed his hand in the distance. The strong wind split into two, and the Nine Heavens Straight Road appeared. He turned around and stepped onto the Nine Heavens.

Not willing to be outdone, Chen Ming transformed into a mysterious light and followed.

If the Golden Elixir were to use its full strength, it would be a disaster that would destroy the world in the lower realms. Therefore, all battles for the Golden Elixir must take place above the Nine Heavens to avoid the destruction of all living beings.

This is the rule jointly set by all the True Lords in the Heavenly Palace, and the Golden Elixirs of various sects naturally dare not violate it.

After seeing the two Jindan ancestors leave, countless black spots flew out from among the Qi Ling ships. They were Qi Ling disciples who got off the ships and began to form their formations and march on the spot.

In the sky in front of the hundred ships, a true cultivator walked out. Song Feng held a jade order in his hand and shouted, "Xuan Yuan's command, the Ten Thousand Puppets march!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the power of Yuanshui was attracted in all directions. Countless puppet armies shook the earth, rushed from afar, and surrounded Jingyuan Xuan Palace.

As soon as these puppets appeared, the black crows retreated one after another, squatting around and waiting for the opportunity.

Hundreds of kinds of puppets formed a huge puppet army, stacked up layer by layer, some formed a large formation, some became giant puppets, or were separated into tiny puppets and thrown into the mountain protection formation of Jingyuan Xuan Palace, and then a roar would be heard.

It was tens of thousands of puppets bombarding the formation like a gunpowder explosion.

Immediately afterwards, bright beams of light shot out from the mouths and eyes of giant puppets that were thousands of feet tall, bombarding the light array.

There were also nine puppet formations that emitted colorful giant pythons of different colors that crawled up from the ground and polluted the light formations.

As the puppet army was dispatched, the mountain protection formation gradually changed. Ripples began to appear on the pure white light curtain, and it was obvious that it was under an extremely terrible bombardment.

The hundred Yungang treasure ships behind them also emitted Yi Mu divine light together. Hundreds of light beams tens of feet thick slammed into the large formation, causing the light curtain of the large formation to shake visibly with the naked eye.

Seeing this scene, not only did all the Xuan Palace disciples in the formation feel uneasy, even Nangong Yuan, who was above the Nine Heavens and keeping an eye on the lower world, couldn't help but be shocked.

Where did the Qi Ling Sect get so many good things? Wasn't it said that the Qi Ling Sect and the Tian Qi Xian Sect had almost lost their inheritance, and only the Wei Tu Sect's inheritance was still there?

Nangong Yuan's body was emitting a faint white light, and nine precious mirrors were hovering and rising, protecting him from any exposure.

No matter how magical the dark light was, no matter how many evil spirits and ghosts there were, they could not do anything to him.

His own safety is not a problem, but the situation is different for his disciples.

Nangong Yuan had no choice but to ask Chen Ming who was attacking fiercely, "Do you really want to fight to the death with me, Jingyuan Xuangong?"

Shen Ming's young face was full of viciousness. He replied: "Since you helped Jiang Jun, you and Qi Ling have been mortal enemies!"

"Okay, okay, if that's the case, then I won't have to be polite. I will suppress you today, and then kill all of your Qi Ling's offending disciples!"

Nangong Yuan smiled grimly, and the nine mirrors emitted void Qi at the same time. The virtual spirit status flashed and turned into a nine-layer mirror world that surrounded Chen Ming.

Although his face was extremely pale, he said with a smile: "I am willing to use the Jingyuan secret method to consume a hundred years of my life to perform the great magical power [Nine Abyss Realm]. Even the Four Life Golden Pills cannot escape for the time being.

Just stay here and watch me slaughter your Qi Ling disciples."

Hearing this, Shen Ming's face darkened and he immediately shouted, "You dare!"

"Buzz~"

A cold wind blew, feathers fell from the sky and earth, and the black feathers were like snow. The wailing sounds of countless evil spirits instantly roared out from Shen Ming's body.

Li Yuan stood tall, holding up a white bone jar with one hand, and said in a cold and chilling voice, "Say it again!"

Nangong Yuan turned around and looked at the figure trapped in the Jiuyuan Realm, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, because not only was this person's temperament extremely sinister, but the aura on his body was comparable to that of the Three Life Golden Pill!

"How many hundreds of years of his lifespan has he burned?"

Nangong Yuan said in shock: "You... aren't you afraid of triggering the Three Calamities and Five Tribulations?"

Li Yuan sneered, "So what?"

He stretched out his hand and waved it. The white bone jar in his palm suddenly fell down and turned into a hundred feet high standing at his feet.

There were countless white bones under the altar, and he was the only one on the altar. A white bone chain climbed up Li Yuan's body like a snake and wrapped around him tightly.

"What is he going to do?" Nangong Yuan was horrified. "Is he going to sacrifice himself? Why do the Qi Ling Sect's Jindan want to die more than each other?"

At this moment, Nangong Yuan could no longer remain calm as he was at the beginning. He was busy trying to seek help from all directions.

I am not afraid of Jindan's calculations, I am afraid that Jindan will not risk his life! The reason why Yuanshui Daohua's power allowed them to escape is because Yuanshui Zhenren did not use his life, but the Xuanming Jindan in front of him is the closest to death and annihilation!

Shang Rui, who was watching the battle from hundreds of thousands of miles away, suddenly changed his expression. He sensed the words of help in the void, and his heart moved slightly. He immediately called out, "All the cultivators in the area, move out immediately and follow me to attack the Qi Ling Sect!"

Even though the two sects were allies, the wise and shrewd Master Shangrui still kept a watchful eye. He only supported them with the method of besieging Wei to save Zhao, but would never face the mysterious and strange golden elixir of Xuanming Wei Ge. On the one hand, he was afraid of being affected, and on the other hand, he was afraid of being calculated by others.

Hundreds of true practitioners rose into the air. Master Shangrui waved his sleeves and emerald green willow branches appeared under the feet of the true practitioners. In just a few breaths, they crossed tens of thousands of miles with him and arrived at the mountain gate of Qi Ling Sect.

Shangrui Zhenren sent a voice message in the sky: "Xuanming Dao Zhenren, if you don't stop, I will destroy your Dao lineage!"

As soon as these words came out, the bound Li Yuan's face showed even more murderous intent, and he even laughed coldly, saying: "Sacrifice my bones, the mysterious underworld is annihilated, life and death are empty, calm my dead soul!"

As soon as the words fell, a cold light lit up on the bone altar, illuminating all directions, even penetrating the Jiuyuan Realm and sweeping in all directions.

Seeing this scene, Nangong Yuan immediately stepped into the void, trying to escape.

But this Xuanming status was connected to the void. When Nangong Yuan thought he had escaped and stepped out of the void, he suddenly discovered a pile of white bones under his feet.

A fear that had not appeared in his heart for many years suddenly emerged at this moment because he sensed death.

In the distance, Li Yuan walked out of the void and looked coldly at Nangong Yuan who was tied up on the bone altar. After hesitating for a moment, he resisted the urge to sacrifice Xuan Yuan.

Qi Ling is still too weak now, unable to fight against the True Lords of the heavens and all realms. Once he sacrifices the golden elixir, it will probably cause panic between heaven and earth and wrath of the Heavenly Palace, and then both heaven and earth will be his enemy.

Qi Ling still needs stability now and needs to give his disciples time to grow. He can’t be impatient!

Li Yuan said in a cold voice: "Today I will punish you, Nangong Yuan, for a hundred years. If you dare to offend Qi Ling again, I will definitely not hold back!"

Nangong Yuan's heart was filled with crazy hatred, but he could only endure it. The other party was able to sacrifice hundreds of years of his life because he was young and because he was a Xuanming person.

He has lived for thousands of years. If he sacrifices his lifespan again, he will probably bring about the three disasters and five calamities. For Jindan, the life and death of the physical body is not a big deal, but if he dies from the three disasters and five calamities, then he is truly dead!

This is one of the reasons why even though this kind of evil personality is restrained by the extreme yang and ruled by the extreme yin, there are still so many cultivators willing to practice.

After Li Yuan finished speaking, he stepped down from the sky, stretched out his hand and slapped it down. The thousand-foot-long giant palm shattered the mountain protection formation. The disciples of Jingyuan Xuan Palace were all terrified and knelt on the ground wailing and crying.

Just as he was about to say something, he was suddenly so startled that he looked up towards the sky.

But he saw thunder rolling in, and the sky full of thunder locked onto him from afar. No matter how he changed or hid, he could not escape this will.

Li Yuan said coldly: "I didn't expect that I would be able to trigger the ninth thunder tribulation among the five tribulations less than a hundred years after I achieved the golden elixir!"

With a flash of his body, he stepped into the Ninth Heaven again. The power of the Three Disasters and Five Catastrophes was three points lighter above the Nine Heavens due to the influence of his status. If they were in the mortal world, affected by the many auras, their power would be doubled, and anyone who came would be three points afraid.

The Jindan on Nanjue Continent couldn't help but change color when they saw this scene. This Jindan of Xuanming status was really too amazing. For the safety of the sect's disciples, he was willing to sacrifice hundreds of years of his life and even caused the five disasters to come!

The three disasters and five calamities, each one of which is more serious than the Golden Core True Person, is a terrifying existence. The power of each calamity and each disaster varies from person to person, but what is certain is that every time these disasters come, they have the ability to kill the people who are trying to overcome the disasters.

Even Wu Ming, or even Jiang Xu, would not dare to endure another disaster.

The three disasters and five calamities almost limit the lifespan of the Golden Elixir to nine thousand years, and the lifespan of the Golden Elixir is no more than ten thousand years.

Of course, many Jindan can only live for three to five thousand years in their first life. If they cannot survive the three disasters and five calamities, they can only reincarnate to avoid the disasters. This is the only way for Jindan to avoid disasters.

But because of this, after each reincarnation, even if the strength of the Golden Core Realm is restored, it will not be stronger than the first life, but the disasters faced again will be three times stronger.

As one grows stronger while the other declines, after tens of thousands of years, even a Jindan Zhenren will be truly annihilated.

Above the nine heavens, thunder vibrated around Li Yuan. Thunders of nine colors, purple, golden, red, crimson, green, cyan, blue, black and white, rolled in, turning the world within a radius of ten thousand miles into a sea of ​​thunder.

Faced with such terrifying pressure, even Li Yuan had no choice but to retreat and seek survival.

“Boom~”

The thunder crashed down with such a speed that people had no time to react. Li Yuan was struck directly and his whole body was charred. Feathers continued to fall, and countless evil spirits wailed miserably in pain.

Li Yuan endured the severe pain, and the Xuanming Yin Qi frantically repaired his body. The ghost generals in his long hair were also in pain, and this one blow alone made many of them lose their souls!

“Boom…”

The second thunder struck, and the sky and the earth turned white. Li Yuan's clothes exploded, revealing his bloody body. His bones and flesh were separated, as if he had been skinned and his tendons were pulled out. Even though the Xuanming Yin Qi was surging wildly, it could not change anything.

This is the horror of one of the five calamities. They are not the same punishment for everyone, but vary from person to person, are infinitely varied, and are unpredictable.

Otherwise, if it had not changed, each Jindan would have come up with many ways to deal with it, and there would be no need to be so frightened.

There were bursts of thunder above the nine heavens, one after another. When Li Yuan held on until the sixth thunder, he was finally unable to support his body and status, and his body fell from the nine heavens.

Upon seeing this scene, all the Jindan Zhenren reacted instantly, and they were all ready to take action, because if they failed to survive the five tribulations, they would fall from the sky to the mortal world, where their skin, flesh, and bones were all great tonics and precious spiritual objects!

But at this moment, rain fell from the sky and thunder flashed. A bolt of lightning struck Li Yuan's body again, causing him to suddenly wake up. Even his skin and flesh gradually healed and his breath recovered.

The Jindan Zhenren couldn't help but curse in their hearts, who is so tactless, how could a Jindan flesh body of Xuanming Dao status bear to give up? Why must he help?

The Jindan Zhenren searched around but couldn't find any Zhenren to help them. However, they saw the spiritual rain falling between heaven and earth, which was Yuanshui!

Taoist Shangrui in front of the mountain gate of Qi Ling Sect was stunned. What was going on? The Taoist Yuanchu in front of him clearly did not make any move. Where did this Yuanshui level come from?

Thunder roared above the nine heavens, and the terrible thunder punishment struck nine times in succession before it completely dissipated.

There was nothing left above the Nine Heavens. It was not that Chen Ming had been struck to ashes, but that he had already hidden away with his seriously injured body to recuperate.

Although Li Yuan survived the nine thunder tribulations with the help of Xuan Yuan's power, his body was on the verge of collapse and his soul was almost shattered. It would take him several hundred years of cultivation to recover.

If you meet a Jindan Zhenren with evil intentions at this moment, you can imagine what the outcome would be.

Therefore, hiding is undoubtedly the best option at this moment.

In front of the mountain gate of Qi Ling Sect, Master Shang Rui looked in the direction of Yanjing Yuanxuan Palace and knew that he could not stand idly by. Otherwise, once the allies withdrew, Shangxu Wanting Domain would be in a passive and isolated position.

So he planned to raise his hand to kill the Qi Ling disciples who were besieging Xuan Palace, but suddenly he heard the Yuanchu Taoist chuckle and said, "Old Master, if you don't leave now, you can't go back."
