Ling Qingxue and Ye Meier stood back to back, breathing heavily, surrounded by Japanese cultivators who looked like wolves and tigers.
Both women were injured, and their immortal and demonic powers were greatly depleted; they were on the verge of exhaustion.
“Pretending to be high-minded… This time… I’m afraid I’m going to fail…” Ye Meier wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her voice hoarse and unwilling.
Ling Qingxue pressed her lips tightly together, her icy blue eyes sweeping over the slowly approaching enemies. The icy longsword in her hand trembled slightly, emitting a resentful hum. She didn't speak, but the determination in her eyes said it all.
At this critical moment—
Rumble, rumble, rumble—!!!
The pitch-black, lightning-streaked clouds overhead suddenly shrank inward!
All the lightning, all the light, all the destructive aura seemed to be compressed to the extreme!
An overwhelming pressure, far more terrifying and soul-freezing than any previous tribulation lightning, suddenly descended!
This is no longer just simple destruction; it seems to contain a trace of...ancient, primordial, chaotic energy, as if the world had never been created!
The final tribulation lightning is coming!
Moreover, something has changed!
The Japanese cultivators who were originally preparing to rush forward were also terrified by this sudden and even more terrifying divine might, and subconsciously stopped in their tracks, looking up at the sky in horror.
"What...what kind of heavenly tribulation is this?!"
"Something's wrong! Retreat!"
At the center of the tribulation clouds, Zhang Shaozhong suddenly raised his head and looked at the tribulation lightning that was extremely condensed and seemed to have gray air currents flowing within it. Instead of being afraid, his eyes burst out with an unprecedented light!
"Chaos...it's the aura of chaos!"
He had a sudden inspiration and stopped being on the defensive. Instead, he actively activated the Chaos Technique, pushing the nascent Chaos Golden Core within him to its limit. He even released all his defenses and embraced the final tribulation lightning bolt, which contained a trace of the power of the origin of chaos!
"Husband! No!"
"Husband, you've gone mad!"
Ling Qingxue and Ye Meier were terrified when they saw Zhang Shaozhong's almost suicidal actions, and they screamed in shock!
But it was too late!
boom!!!!!!!!!
That bolt was no longer pure lightning, but rather a chaotic tribulation lightning that seemed to be woven from countless gray currents and destructive sparks. Like the Milky Way pouring down from the heavens, it instantly swallowed up Zhang Shaozhong's figure completely!
There was no explosion as expected, only a sense of desolation, as if returning to the origin and all things returning to nothingness, spreading out from Zhang Shaozhong as the center!
"No--!!!"
Night Enchantress let out a shrill cry and was about to rush over without regard for anything else.
Ling Qingxue's face also turned deathly pale, but she suddenly grabbed Ye Meier and stared intently at the area enveloped by chaotic lightning. Her voice trembled slightly, yet contained a hint of unbelievable hope: "Wait... look!"
The destructive chaotic lightning did not immediately annihilate Zhang Shaozhong.
Instead, it seemed to be attracted by something, rushing wildly into his body!
Zhang Shaozhong sat cross-legged in the center of the lightning, his body like a bottomless pit, greedily devouring this last and most special tribulation lightning!
His skin, flesh, bones, meridians, and even soul were enduring unimaginable pain, as if they were being torn apart and shattered time and time again, and then reassembled and reborn under the influence of the chaotic energy!
Within his dantian, the wisp of gray dantian light, which was originally just in its nascent stage, was transformed by the tribulation lightning containing the origin of chaos, as if injected with the most powerful catalyst, spinning, solidifying, and growing at an unprecedented speed!
boom!
A deafening roar, as if the heavens and earth had been created, reverberated within his body!
A golden elixir, entirely gray in color, with mysterious and unpredictable natural patterns on its surface, and exuding an ancient, primordial, and all-encompassing aura, finally took shape and floated steadily in his dantian!
The Chaos Golden Elixir is complete!
Just as Zhang Shaozhong successfully condensed the Chaos Golden Core, the aftershocks of the tribulation lightning, which spread out and contained a trace of the aura of the origin of chaos, rippled out like water and instantly swept past Ling Qingxue and Ye Meier, who were struggling to hold on not far away!
The two women were violently shaken the moment they were swept by the chaotic aftershocks!
Ling Qingxue felt an incomparably pure energy, seemingly containing the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, surge into her body. Her immortal power, which had been somewhat sluggish due to excessive consumption, instantly became surging and powerful!
The hidden injuries that had been difficult to fully recover from due to the environment of this world were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye under the impact of this power!
Her cultivation bottleneck at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm was easily pierced like a thin sheet of paper, and she soared all the way up, directly recovering to the peak of the Golden Core realm!
He's just one opportunity away from returning to the Nascent Soul stage!
Ye Meier felt as if a long-awaited rain had come after a drought!
The energy contained in the chaotic aftershocks was like a super tonic for her!
The pure demonic energy surged wildly, sweeping away the weakness caused by burning her origin. Her aura rose steadily, breaking through her previous shackles and restoring her to the equivalent of the Golden Core stage—the Demon Core stage!
Moreover, his realm is incredibly stable!
This sudden turn of events left the two women both surprised and delighted!
The surrounding Japanese cultivators were completely dumbfounded!
The one who was undergoing tribulation didn't die; in fact, it seems he broke through?
Why did the two women protecting him also experience a surge in their auras?!
Is this heavenly tribulation contagious?!
Before they could recover from their shock, the terrifying pressure that had enveloped the heavens and earth receded rapidly like a tide. The dark tribulation clouds began to dissipate, revealing the gray sky behind them.
The heavenly tribulation has ended.
Zhang Shaozhong, who was sitting cross-legged there, slowly opened his eyes.
In his eyes, a fleeting image seemed to flash by, representing the beginning of chaos and the birth and death of stars.
A far more powerful, profound, and chilling aura emanated from him.
He successfully survived the Tribulation of the Forty-Nine Heavens and officially entered the Chaos Golden Core stage!
He stood up, stretched his limbs, and felt a roaring sound like a rushing river coming from within him.
He sensed the immense power contained within the gray golden elixir, a power that seemed to control everything, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips.
Then, he turned his head, his eyes, filled with a chaotic aura, falling on the dumbfounded Japanese cultivators who hadn't yet had time to escape.
"You had a lot of fun just now, didn't you?"
His voice was calm, but it carried an invisible, suffocating sense of oppression.
"Now, it's my turn."
