Chapter 342 Overcoming the Tribulation
Chapter 342 Overcoming the Tribulation
"It's okay to tell you the reason for this. It's just some long-forgotten past events."
Seeing everyone's serious and inquiring eyes, Li Changqing calmly started to tell the story.
He was not worried about the safety of his senior brother Zhao at all.
"The reason why the Five Elements Sect was destroyed in the past was not only because 100,000 monsters turned into a beast tide to attack, but also because three Yuanying Great Monsters joined forces to try to overthrow this ancient sect of the human race and snatch a divine object."
“However, even though the Five Elements Sect did not have a Nascent Soul cultivator in charge, they still dealt a heavy blow to the demon race with only a group of Golden Core cultivators, and unleashed an incredible fighting force.”
"Led by the last Five Elements Sect leader, the entire sect spared no expense and exerted its last reserves to fully activate the Five Elements Ring. It mobilized the strength of all the sect disciples to suppress these Nascent Soul monsters and the beast tide, cutting off all chances of survival."
Li Changqing looked at the five-colored mountain in front of him, his eyes full of respect and admiration for the ancestors of the human race:
"However, the vitality of the Nascent Soul Demon is so strong that the Five Elements Sect's strongest is only the Golden Core Great Perfection. They underestimated the mystery of the Nascent Soul Infant, which is an existence that can travel across the void with its spirit."
"When my senior from the Changsheng Dao discovered this relic, he unexpectedly discovered that although the three-headed monster's body had been refined and killed, its spirit still existed."
“The true spirits of the Nascent Soul monsters actually invaded the Five Elements Ring. Over the past hundreds of thousands of years, they have become entangled and merged with the weapon spirits, completely transforming into a monster that is indistinguishable from one another.”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but marvel at the tenacious vitality of the Nascent Soul demon, and at the same time felt a little worried.
"Since you have already noticed the abnormality, why don't you, Senior Changshengdao, take action yourself and wipe out the true spirits of these three monsters?"
Fang Rulong of the Beast Taming Sect asked with curiosity and confusion, finding it difficult to understand this practice. Wasn't this considered as intentionally harming younger disciples?
"The Great Demon's True Spirit has merged with the Five Elements Ring's Spirit. If it is forcibly erased, it will severely damage this powerful spiritual treasure and cause its grade to drop."
"What's more, if the opportunity arises and one's will is strong, this life-threatening danger will turn into a great opportunity."
Li Changqing looked at the top of the Five Elements Mountain and suddenly saw a flash of lightning. His expression became solemn: "It has begun. Everyone please follow me and watch. Don't move around, so as not to disturb the layout of my predecessors in the Immortal Dynasty."
As he waved his sleeves, he took out a precious mirror, which emitted a light silver glow and instantly reflected the scene on the top of the mountain.
Li Quanqing also looked in that direction and immediately saw the top of the Five Elements Mountain. The five elements' essences were like tides and the sky was filled with evil clouds like a sea.
A skeleton sat quietly, wearing a Taoist robe embroidered with five-colored clouds, showing the scene of the five elements of life and death, and it was still full of spirit at this moment.
In the arms of this skeleton, the Five Elements Ring was floating quietly, emitting dazzling light, like a small sun, dyeing the white bones into colorful colors.
Zhao Qian sat cross-legged opposite, his palm touching the Five Elements Ring, his eyes closed, a look of pain on his face, and blood flowing from his seven orifices like little snakes.
“Even if there is only one true spirit left, these dead Nascent Soul demons will naturally pursue living things, wanting to possess their bodies and be reborn again.”
Li Quanqing listened to these words and observed carefully. He immediately noticed that tiny evil spirits emanated from the surface of the Five Elements Ring and penetrated into Zhao Qian's Niwan Palace, intending to take over his body.
He noticed that the five-colored light emitted by this Five Elements Ring was not flawless and integrated.
Instead, they are clearly divided, turning into two colors confronting each other.
Among them, the three colored precious lights of green, blue and gold are surrounded by a sinister aura, and seem to have the upper hand. It is obviously the origin of the spiritual treasure occupied by the three big monsters.
The remaining red and yellow lights were somewhat dim, and there was no demonic aura permeating. Instead, they gave people a sense of sacredness. It was obvious that it was the power of the spirit of the weapon that was resisting.
"The three Nascent Soul demons control the power of wood, water, and gold respectively. Does this represent the great path that their original demon bodies practice?" Li Quanqing became more careful and memorized all the details in his mind.
He looked at Zhao Qian, whose body was trembling with pain as he fought against the possession of his body, and was also thinking about how to break the impasse.
After much thought, it seems that there is only one last solution left.
Sure enough, in the next moment, Zhao Qian's magical power soared into the sky, stirring up the wind and clouds, and awakening a supreme will.
However, he used the last bit of clarity in his mind to forcibly mobilize the power of the Nascent Soul Tribulation, in order to drag the three big monsters to survive the thunder tribulation together!
At this moment, everyone present understood Zhao Qian's plan and stared at him intently. Li Quanqing did the same and even held his breath.
For a Jindan cultivator, being able to witness the Nascent Soul tribulation with one's own eyes is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and no detail can be missed.
Rumble!
The dark clouds in the sky rolled like boiling water, making a deafening roar. Thunder and lightning gathered from the sky and turned into the mighty power of heaven.
Even though this place has become a paradise of its own, it is still unable to stop the power of Heaven, which turns into a bolt of lightning that strikes down, piercing through the sky, and attempts to tear the sky apart!
Relying on the last bit of control over his body, Zhao Qian actually let go of all his defenses and actively rushed towards the heavenly calamity, as if he was determined to survive!
This action obviously frightened the confused demon spirit in the Five Elements Ring.
After hundreds of thousands of years of tempering, even if the three Nascent Soul monsters still had their true spirits, their intelligence had been completely dissipated, leaving only the instinct for survival, and they devoured and fused with the spirit of the weapon.
This is also the reason why Li Changqing stopped everyone from climbing the Five Elements Mountain, in order to avoid providing the big monsters with a second target to possess and disrupting the arrangement of the Changsheng Dao.
At this time, the big monsters had only one choice, which was to watch Zhao Qian's body being destroyed in the thunder.
So he mobilized the power of the Five Elements Ring to the fullest, and took the initiative to resist the thunder that fell from the sky, in an attempt to preserve his body.
Rumble!
Thunder struck one after another, the sound rumbling and the might of heaven overwhelming. The entire Five Elements Mountain was struck to the point of being on the verge of collapse, gushing out monstrous energy and demonic clouds.
Li Quanqing stared without blinking, and even took out the image-retaining beads to copy the scene in the mirror. The other Jindan cultivators did the same.
There are only nine golden elixir thunder tribulations, but there are as many as thirty-six Yuanying thunder tribulations, which is astonishing.
Even with the protection of the Five Elements Ring, Zhao Qian still suffered considerable damage, his skin cracked, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.
Rumble!
When the last thunderbolt fell, the entire Five Elements Ring shone brightly, supporting a dazzling five-colored light curtain for protection.
Click! !
Even so, there was still a ray of heavenly lightning as thick as an arm that penetrated through numerous obstacles and directly split Zhao Qian's body.
Golden-red flames burst out from the dantian in his abdomen, transformed into a phoenix flapping its wings and flying, finally holding a golden elixir in its beak, shining brightly!
