Wood Calamity.
Compared to the previous three tribulations, this one seems to be even more difficult.
The moment he appeared, Lu Tao felt his mind go blank, and his bones turned to wood and wither.
If he hadn't been prepared, and hadn't been circulating the Soul-Suppressing Scripture before the Wood Tribulation even arrived, he might have been caught off guard and suffered a serious setback.
The same applies to the Golden Robbery.
When the Golden Calamity appeared, the essence, inner essence, and divine essence within Lu Tao's body almost all emitted auspicious golden energy, surging wildly throughout Lu Tao's physical body, dantian, and soul sea.
His whole body was like a sieve, tattered and leaking everywhere.
But strangely enough...
Despite being severely injured, Lu Tao recovered completely after surviving the Golden Tribulation.
Even more than that.
It seems that during the Golden Tribulation, his spirit and energy, pierced or tempered by the auspicious golden energy, became even stronger, far surpassing his previous strength.
That concludes the discussion.
The tribulation of the Five Elements has been completely overcome.
It didn't seem too dangerous, unlike the thunderbolts that struck with great force; everything happened almost entirely on Lu Tao's body.
However, the dangers involved are by no means simple.
A slight misstep could lead to annihilation under the heavenly calamity.
But the benefits are also enormous.
After being tempered by the Five Elements Tribulation, Lu Tao's spirit and energy have been greatly improved in all aspects. Compared with before the tribulation, his strength has increased by more than double.
"The more heavenly tribulations like this, the better."
Lu Tao couldn't help but lick his lips, a hint of regret in his expression.
Unfortunately, the God of War tribulation only happens once.
"Three more lightning tribulations remain!"
Lu Tao looked up at the Heavenly Rank that was still developing, his face showing a thoughtful expression. He thought to himself, "I should find an opportunity to capture a few bolts of heavenly lightning in the future, refine them into items, and use them for tempering whenever I upgrade them."
Lu Tao thought of Tian Lei You.
That place is somewhat special; it's teeming with heavenly lightning. He can go and capture a few of them later.
As for his own tribulation, Lu Tao had no such plans. If he captured the heavenly lightning, what if his tribulation wasn't considered complete and was less than others'?
Thinking this way.
Lu Tao silently reinforced the defensive formation and summoned a nine-story tower to envelop himself.
This tower is a mid-grade divine artifact.
It was a defensive artifact that Lu Tao had previously crafted. After his tribulation, Lu Tao retrieved it himself and prepared it specifically for his tribulation.
Phew!
A moment later, a phoenix cry resounded throughout the secret realm, and a huge phoenix, bathed in endless flames, swooped down towards Lu Tao.
This fire is extraordinary; it is the result of a previous calamity.
Buzz!
In an instant.
Lu Tao's physical body was once again engulfed in flames.
However, after undergoing several rounds of tempering, he is now extremely strong in spirit and energy. He is not greatly harmed by the fire tribulation and can mobilize his inner energy and divine energy to fight the phoenix.
and.
With the help of the divine tower and the formation, it's not difficult to withstand the phoenix's attack.
Phew!
The phoenix seemed to possess a spirit, frantically attacking the formation and the divine tower, as if it would not stop until it killed Lu Tao.
It didn't take long.
Lu Tao sensed that the phoenix's power had weakened considerably, and instantly rushed out of the formation to fight the phoenix.
A moment later.
Lu Tao killed him and was then bathed in the boundless spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
"Cool!"
Lu Tao let out a long sigh of relief, greedily absorbing the rich spiritual energy.
This primordial energy is even purer than the primordial energy in the spiritual veins. It requires almost no refining and can be completely transformed during the circulation of cultivation techniques.
Boom—
Thunder is brewing.
"Aww—"
A quarter of an hour later, as the dragon's roar resounded, a colossal creature swept across the secret realm, carrying a powerful dragon's might and a water calamity, and charged towards Lu Tao.
In response to this.
Lu Tao remained calm, just as he had when facing the phoenix. He waited until the dragon's power was significantly depleted before charging forward to fight it.
This time it's just a little more difficult.
Under the calamity of the water, his essence, inner energy, and divine energy were almost completely depleted.
Lu Tao could only fight the dragon with his physical strength, or more accurately, his bone strength.
In mid-air, Lu Tao was almost a skeleton, as small as an ant, yet he was able to shake the dragon without retreating.
Ultimately, he even managed to kill it in mid-air.
"call……"
Lu Tao recovered and slowly exhaled.
then.
Lu Tao's expression turned solemn, and he murmured, "There is only one last heavenly lightning bolt left. I don't know what kind of heavenly lightning it is. There are clearly people who have undergone this tribulation, but there is no record of it at all."
Facing the final bolt of lightning, Lu Tao dared not be careless.
He flew back into the formation, adjusted his breathing, continued to reinforce the formation, and waited for the final heavenly tribulation to descend.
"The 108th bolt of heavenly lightning, Lu Tao, hang in there!"
In the distance, Seventh Master Yao Yao looked at Lu Tao below the Heavenly Tribulation, her fists clenched unconsciously, her nails digging into her palms, yet she felt nothing.
At this moment, he...
My heart was pounding rapidly; I was extremely nervous and couldn't calm down at all.
It wasn't just Seventh Master who was like this.
He Zongming, along with all the disciples of the Immortal Sect inside the cave, watched Lu Tao under the heavenly tribulation with a mixture of tension and worry.
although--
They all knew that they would surely get through this ordeal safely.
Humans are such strange creatures; even knowing it's an inevitable outcome, their emotions still can't help but fluctuate.
even.
At this moment, He Yuanshuang silently prayed again to Lu Tao's statue.
——
Boom...
After a long while, the heavenly thunder was fully prepared, and the final heavenly tribulation descended.
Buzz!
Thunder struck, and an invisible wave spread out.
There was no thunderbolt, nor did the Dragon and Phoenix Calamity strike, but the Five Elements Calamity appeared, and at the same time.
That's not all.
To Lu Tao's surprise and dismay, he felt as if he were trapped in some kind of invisible cage.
Inside the cage, Lu Tao's body was simultaneously undergoing the tribulation of the five elements.
At the same time, he felt his will being weakened infinitely by some force.
Laziness, lethargy, irritability, obsession, and all sorts of negative emotions seemed to gain some kind of amplification, expanding infinitely, like tiny cells instantly transforming into monstrous beasts, eager to devour Lu Tao completely.
In that instant, a word inexplicably surfaced in Lu Tao's mind.
domain!
"Domain? Domain, or what?"
Lu Tao's eyes were bloodshot, his powerful willpower fiercely resisting the engulfing influence of all emotions.
domain.
This was something Lu Tao had never heard of before; even in the realm of Martial Gods, there had never been such a thing.
"Could it be... that the Domain is something that exists above the Martial God realm, the Heavenly God realm?"
Lu Tao secretly guessed.
Previously, when he was undergoing the tribulation of the Martial King, he encountered supernatural powers, which only Martial Gods could possess; now, when he is undergoing the tribulation of the Martial God, a domain has appeared. He guessed that perhaps a domain is something that only Heavenly Gods possess.
Facing the domain, Lu Tao felt extremely strained.
It was far less easy and simple than dealing with the Five Elements Calamity alone before.
at this time.
The Five Elements Calamity struck simultaneously, and with the amplification of the domain, Lu Tao's emotions were greatly affected, and even the other powers of the Five Elements Calamity increased several times over.
All I could see was...
Lu Tao's body had long since turned into a skeleton under the combined effects of the Five Elements Calamity.
Flesh and blood, skin, dantian, and soul sea all vanished and turned into nothingness.
On the skeleton, there were marks of weapons piercing and cutting, making it look like porcelain, about to shatter.
Click!
A crisp sound of breaking bones rang out.
Then, Lu Tao's body, now just bones, collapsed with a crash.
As it collapsed, each bone shattered, shattered, and shattered again, turning into a pile of dust...
"No……"
far away.
As the skeleton collapsed, Seventh Master's heart skipped a beat and stopped beating.
How could this be?
Seventh Master's face was deathly pale. He stared blankly at the pile of ashes, his expression devastated. His lips trembled as he murmured, "Why is this happening? Heavens, why did such geniuses perish under the final tribulation? Does Heaven not tolerate this?"
He couldn't understand it.
The chosen one of the world, as recorded in the text, perished under the final heavenly tribulation, and he felt sorry for him.
But unexpectedly, he now watched helplessly as Lu Tao, this promising young man, followed in his footsteps.
Without Lu Tao, what should Da Gan do?
Should we run away?
In that instant.
Seventh Master's aura weakened at a visible speed, his expression dimmed, he was completely lost and his eyes lost all light.
"Seventh Master, the Sect Master is alright!"
Beside him, He Zongming clenched his fists, his eyes fixed on the pile of ashes.
Among the pile of ashes, He Zongming saw a drop of crystal-clear blood, a dazzling altar, and... a palm-sized, thick Taoist book.
They remained together, shining brightly under the heavenly tribulation.
"That's right, the heavenly tribulation has not yet dissipated!"
Seventh Master realized what was happening and instantly became excited.
It's no wonder that Seventh Master was like this. His clone only had the cultivation of a Grandmaster, and his divine sense was too weak compared to the Martial God Thunder Tribulation, so he couldn't fully see Lu Tao's specific condition.
He only realized it after He Zongming reminded him.
Seventh Master hurriedly asked, "Elder He, how is Lu Tao?"
"The sect leader is fine. He is undergoing a transformation."
He Zongming shook his head, indicating that Seventh Master need not worry, but he himself still stared intently at the pile of ashes under the lightning tribulation.
Buzz!
Several dozen breaths later.
The void trembled slightly, and an invisible wave spread out.
A drop of blood transformed, and the skeleton reappeared, emitting a dazzling light. Flesh and blood began to grow on the skeleton.
On his lower abdomen, a Taoist book was being turned over with a rustling sound, like waves crashing on the shore.
Within his celestial spirit bone, a small altar stood, and Lu Tao's divine soul gradually rose from within the altar.
boom!
At this moment, the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) surged like seawater, frantically converging towards Lu Tao's skeleton.
Almost instantly.
Lu Tao's figure reappeared between heaven and earth.
He is completely unharmed!
at the same time.
The heavenly tribulation slowly receded, and the secret realm returned to its clear state, as if after a rain. Seven-colored light even appeared between heaven and earth!
