The first statue was entirely black, its surface covered with crimson veins, and each wriggle produced a teeth-grinding sound. The second statue was shrouded in a thick poisonous mist, obscuring its true form; only the occasional glimpse of half an arm covered in gleaming green pustules was visible.
The third statue was bound by dark purple chains, engraved with cursed runes, causing ripples in the space wherever it passed. The fourth statue was composed of countless shattered mirrors, each reflecting Qin Luo's pained and contorted face.
......
The sixth one is the most bizarre. It has no physical form, but is just a constantly shifting black shadow, with faint blue ghost fire flickering within it.
As soon as the six eerie little soul-destroying figures appeared, they let out sharp roars, their voices filled with a thirst for divine souls.
They flashed and transformed into five streams of light, rushing straight towards the six small divine soul figures above Qin Luo's head.
The sudden change caused Qin Luo's pupils to shrink sharply, and his relaxed nerves tensed up instantly. He never expected that this soul tribulation would have a follow-up move!
Without time to think, Qin Luo immediately mobilized six divine soul figures to meet the enemy.
The pitch-black soul tribulation figure was the first to attack, its blood-red veins surging like living things, transforming into thousands of sharp spikes that aimed directly at the golden main soul.
The main divine soul shone brightly, attempting to annihilate these strange veins with its dazzling golden light, only to find that the spikes swelled even more when exposed to the light.
The veins covered the golden main soul, but directly affected Qin Luo's body, causing countless strange blood-red veins to twist and turn on his body surface.
Crimson veins, like parasitic vines, coiled around Qin Luo's neck, following the light of the golden divine soul. These veins raced wildly beneath his skin, causing muscles to bulge and blood vessels to twist and turn like earthworms wherever they passed, turning his skin a bluish-purple color at a visible speed.
The tiny figure shrouded in thick, poisonous mist followed closely behind, spewing out a venomous liquid powerful enough to corrode even the soul. Purple Radiance's soul manifested starlight to block the attack, but the venom penetrated the starlight, directly corroding the soul's physical form.
This caused Qin Luo's heart to tremble violently, and a mouthful of emerald green blood spilled from his mouth. The emerald green blood that was spat out fell into the void, actually corroding a deep pit that made a sizzling sound.
At the same time, a layer of gray film appeared over his left pupil, his vision became blurry and distorted, and he was filled with a piercing tinnitus.
As the dark purple chains coiled around the jade soul, cursed runes identical to the chains suddenly appeared on Qin Luo's right forearm. These runes burrowed into his flesh like living things, causing his bones to crack and his muscles to dissolve and reform continuously.
The excruciating pain made him tremble all over, but because of the cursed markings, he could not exert his strength normally and could only let the power of the curse devour his body.
The shattered mirrors forming the soul-destroying figures suddenly turned all the mirrors toward the silver-white divine soul. Countless pained and distorted faces simultaneously let out shrill screams, and the profound radiance trembled violently before them.
In an instant, Qin Luo felt as if countless sharp blades were cutting through his sea of consciousness.
His temples throbbed, and blood began to seep from his nostrils and ear canals. The agonizing screams emanating from his distorted face in the mirror brought him to the brink of madness.
......
Finally, the ever-changing black shadow, carrying the Soul Tribulation Little Man and emanating ghostly blue flames, attacked. Qin Luo's right leg was ignited by the ghostly flames, which greedily devoured his flesh and blood, but had no warmth whatsoever, instead radiating a bone-chilling cold.
The blood vessels beneath the skin froze into ice crystals, displaying eerie bluish-black patterns. The muscle tissue was frozen stiff and shattered, and the surface of the bones was covered with frost. With each delicate breath, the cracking sound of bones grinding together could be heard; the entire right leg was being completely frozen and pulverized.
In an instant, all sorts of strange and eerie things began to manifest in Qin Luo, making him seem like a demon crawling out from the depths of hell.
He had previously wondered if this soul tribulation was too simple, but it turned out to be just as he had expected—not so simple at all. And now it seems that he was right.
Fortunately, he was prepared for this soul tribulation and did not impulsively attempt to undergo it. Instead, he waited until his soul's foundation reached its limit before starting the tribulation.
"Cough cough, as expected, this soul tribulation is not so simple... But cough cough, how dare a mere evil spirit devour its master?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Luo bit his tongue hard, using his blood essence as a guide to forcefully circulate the Myriad Phenomena Return to One Technique.
This was the first time he had used his essence and blood to circulate the Myriad Manifestations Return to One Technique. Instantly, the spiritual energy within his body began to circulate at an unimaginable frequency, forcefully suppressing the strange aura emanating from Qin Luo.
In that brief instant, Qin Luo quickly formed a hand seal and used the Myriad Manifestations of Heaven and Earth Transformation.
In an instant, the four-colored patterns spread across Qin Luo's skin as if they were alive, intertwining with each other to form a cocoon of light around Qin Luo's body.
Driven by the "All Things Return to One" technique, the six divine soul figures shone brightly at the same time, and their divine souls became stronger than ever before.
The blazing sun emanating from the main divine soul hovered above their heads, illuminating the crimson veins that had originally been parasitizing the body's surface, causing them to emit sudden, piercing screams.
Noble purple patterns entwined around her neck, dispelling the last trace of bluish-purple. High-temperature jade patterns climbed up her right forearm, dark purple curse runes sizzling in the emerald light before dissipating into blue smoke.
A holy silver glow enveloped his sea of consciousness, and the grim face reflected in the shattered mirror twisted and disintegrated under the silver light. Extremely cold azure patterns wrapped around his right leg, and the ghostly blue flames instantly froze into tiny ice crystals upon encountering the cold air, which then fell down in a rustling sound.
Purified by purple radiance, burned by jade, suppressed by silver radiance, and frozen by azure, it was forcibly stripped away by the four-colored patterns, turning into stardust and merging into the cocoon of light.
"The heavens and earth collapsed, the primordial chaos disintegrated, and demons and monsters scattered like sand. In the past, I trod the path to seek immortality; today, I summon thunder to knock on the sacred gate."
"I am determined to save this saint today!"
With these bold words, the four-colored patterns around Qin Luo suddenly surged, and the cocoon of light exploded. The four-colored patterns transformed into four pillars of light that shot straight into the sky, colliding violently with the tribulation clouds.
Stardust, carrying the power of the collapsing tribulation clouds, surged into his dantian like an inverted Milky Way.
Purple light purified the heavens, jade burned away the ashes of calamity, silver light suppressed the turbulent currents, and azure ice sealed space and time, causing the spiritual energy of the entire Lingyuan Continent to converge wildly.
At this point, the insurmountable barrier has been crossed, and the sage is already within our grasp!
As the clouds of calamity dissipated, the earth and sky began to give way to the earth, and the earth began to fall in return.
As the heavens and earth poured down in, Qin Luo's once boundless sea of qi was collapsing at an alarming rate. Vast spiritual energy swirled wildly within the sea of qi, emitting a teeth-grinding buzzing sound, and each contraction was accompanied by a cracking sound like bones popping.
Behind him, the void exploded with a deafening roar. Amidst the surging of chaos, primordial energy, and origin energy, a nascent primordial sea, radiating a hazy halo, was slowly taking shape. As the primordial sea contracted, each expansion of it resembled the construction of a new world.
Forged from the primordial chaos, his body was formed by the bones; he sanctified the seas and absorbed the abyss, his spirit by the tribulations and the breaking of the heavens; and he became a saint, shining brightly throughout the universe!
