Chapter 499: The Disaster of the End of Lifespan
Ao Chengcheng felt that the old Dragon King was not in a good state and wanted to stop his daughter from going there.
Jiang Li stretched out his hand, signaling Ao Chengcheng not to worry.
Thinking of Li Er's frequent praise of Jiang Li as "far better than an earthly immortal", Ao Chengcheng calmed down.
Even if something unexpected really happened, Jiang Li could take action to stop it.
"Grandpa Long." Li Nian'er sat obediently beside the old Dragon King with a reserved posture. She did not feel disgusted by the old Dragon King's stench, and did not even frown.
When the Dragon King of the East Sea saw that his father had lost interest in the gift-giving segment, he started the next segment: the dancers dancing.
The sea creatures continued to eat, drink and enjoy the dance.
"Can the old Dragon King be saved?" Mo Ruoyu asked Jiang Li quietly. This is actually a question that everyone is concerned about.
"It depends on his luck. It's hard for outsiders to help him with this kind of thing." The Tribulation Stage is a hurdle that no one can help with. If Jiang Li has a way to help people reach the Tribulation Stage directly, then the number of people in the Tribulation Stage in Jiuzhou will be more than the statue of the Human Emperor.
…
"When we met just now, Grandpa Long didn't have time to tell you that you have grown so big in the blink of an eye."
"I heard that you have become a candidate for the Human Emperor? Not bad, not bad." The old Dragon King grinned and let out a silent laugh.
"When I saw you, I was reminded of Qingluo back then. You two are really alike, with the same talent and similar personality. No, but you are definitely not as strong as Qingluo."
The old Dragon King lost to Qingluo and missed the throne of the 52nd Human Emperor, but he accepted his defeat with all his heart.
He knew that Qingluo was stronger than him and more suitable to be the Human Emperor. Qingluo's excellence made the old Dragon King jealous.
Originally, the old Dragon King did not have this kind of personality. He was also a noisy guy when he was young. Among all the candidates for the Emperor, he was the one who liked excitement the most, in sharp contrast to the quiet Qingluo.
Later, as his contact with Qingluo increased, the old Dragon King gradually realized his shortcomings and wanted to get close to Qingluo and imitate her as much as possible.
Qingluo's death in the battle left the old Dragon King grief-stricken and his desire to imitate her even stronger.
He hopes that by imitating Qingluo, people will remember that there was once a female emperor named Qingluo.
This imitation has lasted for more than two thousand years.
"Grandpa Long, how do you feel now?" Jiang Li asked her to ask this through voice transmission.
"What's the feeling?" The old Dragon King muttered to himself. He didn't feel anything now, and even his consciousness was almost dissipating.
"I am jealous of you. I am jealous of your youth, your vitality, and your possibility of becoming the Emperor of Man." The old Dragon King touched Li Nian'er's little head.
When the old Dragon King is with young people, he feels that time passes more slowly.
"Why are you so young, with a bright future ahead of you, while I am old and dying?"
"I'm afraid of death. I'm really afraid of death."
"There were times when I wanted to do bad things to prolong my life, but I was afraid that after I died I would go to the underworld and would not be able to face Qingluo."
Having said this, the old Dragon King’s jealousy faded and disappeared.
"Qingluo often says that jealousy makes people ugly, especially when I am a dragon head. If I am still jealous of others, I will be the ugliest dragon in the world."
"Now I understand that this world belongs to you, and I am just an old man who is out of date."
The old Dragon King stood up, like a towering mountain that could collapse at any moment.
"I have lived for 2,800 years. What else can I not be satisfied with? What else can I not be satisfied with?"
"Qingluo is in the underworld. All my old friends have been to the underworld. I am just weaker than Qingluo, but stronger than the other candidates for the Human Emperor. They are not afraid of death, so why should I be afraid?"
The old Dragon King's breath gradually weakened, but his eyes became brighter.
"Instead of waiting for several hours for death to come, it is better to die immediately and save a lot of trouble."
The old Dragon King gave up hope of living and volunteered to die.
The mind and intention are united, man and Tao are united, body and form are united, and the unity of these three is the stage of integration.
When a person in the fusion stage gives up his life, his body begins to disintegrate, and his spiritual energy also leaves his body and returns to heaven and earth.
This is what the old Dragon King is like today.
As the old Dragon King's body disintegrated, his thoughts became clearer than ever. The skills that he didn't understand before now made sense to him at once. The principles that he didn't understand before now made sense to him. The faces that he had forgotten due to age were now recalled one by one.
“Qingluo, so this is what you look like… So this is the true meaning of the Tribulation Crossing Stage…”
At this moment, the old Dragon King understood everything.
If you want to reach the Tribulation Crossing Stage, you must overcome the Tribulation of Death, and the greatest Tribulation of Death in this world is the Tribulation of Exhaustion of Lifespan!
The catastrophe of exhaustion of lifespan is a fatal catastrophe that everyone will face, but it is also a catastrophe that everyone will ignore.
The old Dragon King raised his hands to the sky, and his disintegrating flesh and lost spiritual energy...all returned to his body.
“No wonder the Human Emperor said that facing death is the only way to survive. Not daring to face death means that I will passively accept the calamity of exhausting my lifespan, and I will never have the possibility of reaching the Tribulation Crossing Stage.”
Jiang Li seemed to have only said a few harmless words, but they became the key to changing the fate of the old Dragon King.
“…cross the tribulation…cross the tribulation!”
"Heavenly Tribulation, come!"
The old Dragon King shouted loudly, as if he was commanding a heavenly calamity.

Boom——
The heavenly calamity came as expected.
Blue lightning pillars fell from the sky into the sea, the surface of the East China Sea became turbulent, and whirlpools formed on the seabed of the East China Sea.
The heavenly calamity was like an iron rod, disrupting the order of the East China Sea.
The old Dragon King was enjoying the heavenly calamity, and even had enough energy to protect Li Nian'er.
The old Dragon King's body gradually became perfect, and his former weaknesses became perfect.
The old Dragon King has overcome the death calamity and officially entered the period of tribulation.
"So that's it, so that's it, so that's it!"
The old Dragon King said "So that's how it is" three times in a row, and he felt like he had suddenly attained enlightenment.
This was the first time Li Nian'er saw someone go from fusion to tribulation, and at such a close distance.
This is her great fortune.
"Congratulations, Grandpa Long, for reaching the Tribulation Crossing Stage. May you live forever!"
"Congratulations, Grandpa Long, for reaching the Tribulation Crossing Stage. May you live forever!"
"Congratulations, Grandpa Long, for reaching the Tribulation Crossing Stage. May you live forever!"
The sea creatures couldn't believe what they saw. They had wanted to hold a happy funeral and let Grandpa Long rest in peace, but they didn't expect that Grandpa Long would make a breakthrough at the last moment.
They looked at Jiang Li's calm face again and felt that the Human Emperor was truly unfathomable and had everything under control.
"Thank you for your help, Human Emperor. I have entered the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and my strength exceeds that of Zhang Konghu. I have cultivated the Jiangli Human Emperor Power to the intermediate level. Come, let's give it a try."
The old Dragon King struck an arm wrestling pose to celebrate his new life.
Jiang Li was eating a fruit that was a specialty of the East China Sea. He walked forward and knocked the old Dragon King down.
The old Dragon King fell down with both his dragon and his chair.
"Hahaha, what a joy!" The old Dragon King did not feel embarrassed in front of all the sea creatures.
"Here, this is my gift to you." Jiang Li gave the old Dragon King a book.
《Experiences of Cultivation during the Tribulation Period》
The old man turned two pages and found that the handwriting was not even dry.
"When did the Human Emperor write this book?"
"Just now you were pulling Li Nian'er to reminisce about Qingluo."
“…”
