Chapter 868 Water and Fire Tribulation, Sword Slaying Heavenly Tribulation (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Boom!

A massive bolt of purple lightning crashed down, unleashing earth-shattering power.

When the lightning dissipated, the old doctor’s figure was revealed, surrounded by countless sword energies that completely protected him.

When the sword energies dissipated, the old doctor was completely unharmed, as if the tribulation lightning had been nothing more than a gentle breeze to him.

This left Wei Shanhai dumbfounded.

This was already the sixth tribulation lightning strike, each one possessing world-destroying power in his eyes, shaking the heavens and earth.

Yet, none of them could harm the old doctor, not even inflicting a scratch.

This composure was simply unimaginable to Wei Shanhai; just how profound was the old doctor’s foundation to render such terrifying tribulation lightning powerless against him!

Xiao Yan and Xiao Li, on the other hand, weren’t surprised at all.

Grandpa Chen’s understanding of the Dao Laws was superior to theirs; it was perfectly normal that the previous tribulation lightning strikes hadn’t harmed him.

As for Lu Qing, he nodded slightly.

“Master’s comprehension of the Dao of Water and Fire has reached an extremely profound level, surpassing even many Nascent Soul cultivators.

It’s just that the cultivation environment of his home world only allows him to reach the Golden Core Perfection stage.

If he were in the Tianyuan Great World, he would probably have already broken through and achieved Nascent Soul.”

With Lu Qing’s current level, he could see his master’s current state at a glance.

His master’s comprehension of the laws of Water and Fire far exceeded his current level, reaching a level that many Nascent Soul cultivators couldn’t reach.

More importantly, his master had completely integrated his comprehension of the laws into the sword domain he created. He fused

all his insights into one

, allowing any Dao technique to receive a great boost whenever he used

his domain. This was also why even the six tribulation lightning bolts couldn’t harm him.

Because once the tribulation lightning entered his master’s domain, it would be weakened layer by layer.

The power that finally fell on him was merely a tempering, unable to truly harm his essence.

“Not enough. The next three tribulation lightning bolts won’t be so simple.”

Lu Qing recalled the information about the tribulation he had gleaned with his special ability, and his expression became slightly more serious.

His master’s tribulation would undergo some changes later; it remained to be seen how he would handle it.

As Lu Qing’s thoughts raced, the tribulation clouds in the sky began to change.

With each rumble of thunder, the originally deep purple tribulation clouds suddenly gained black and red hues.

The purple, black, and red colors intertwined within the tribulation clouds, causing the power of the tribulation vortex to surge dramatically.

“A water and fire tribulation. Because Master’s understanding of the water and fire principles is far too profound, far exceeding the Golden Core realm, this tribulation, imbued with the essence of laws, manifested. I wonder how Master will deal with it.”

Lu Qing recalled the information about the tribulation, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

As for his master’s safety, he wasn’t particularly worried.

By now, he was certain that with his master’s accumulated strength, surviving this tribulation would be no problem at all.

The difference lies in whether or not the master needs to use the talismans he gave him.

In the sky, purple, black, and red tribulation clouds intertwined and surged, causing the power of the tribulation vortex to suddenly increase several times over.

The vortex, already covering hundreds of miles, now spun even more violently, as if the entire sky was about to be torn into it.

Deep within the tribulation clouds, lightning flashed and thunder roared, each thunderclap shaking the mountains.

“What…what’s going on?”

Wei Shanhai’s face turned pale, his voice trembling.

Although he didn’t understand tribulation, he could feel that the power of the tribulation was far stronger than before.

The pressure was so intense that even he, an observer, felt breathless.

Xiao Yan and Xiao Li also showed surprise.

“When we underwent the Purple Cloud Primordial Spirit Tribulation, there wasn’t this change later,” Xiao Yan said, frowning.

She remembered that when she underwent her tribulation, although each lightning bolt was stronger than the last, the tribulation clouds remained purple, without this three-colored intertwining.

Xiao Li nodded, her eyes filled with seriousness.

Xiao Bai shrank back, taking a few steps back.

Only Lu Qing remained calm, still quietly gazing at the figure on the distant mountaintop.

He knew this was the “Water and Fire Dao Tribulation.”

Because his master’s understanding of the Dao of Water and Fire was far too profound, exceeding the level expected of a Golden Core cultivator, the tribulation manifested such changes imbued with the essence of laws.

This kind of tribulation was far more dangerous than the ordinary Purple Cloud Primordial Spirit Tribulation, but once overcome, the rewards would be much greater.

“It all depends on how Master handles it,” Lu Qing thought to himself.

On the mountaintop, the old doctor looked up at the three-colored tribulation clouds in the sky, his expression still calm.

The interwoven purple, black, and red light reflected on his aged face, giving his brows and eyes a strange luster.

He wasn’t surprised, but simply watched quietly, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.

With his comprehension and understanding of the Dao of Water and Fire, the suddenly changing tribulation clouds subtly stirred something within him.

“The Way of Water and Fire… the profound meaning of the laws…”

the old doctor murmured to himself, as if comprehending something.

After a moment, a look of enlightenment appeared in his heart.

Just then, a deafening roar exploded in the sky.

The seventh tribulation lightning bolt descended.

It was a bolt of lightning intertwined with three colors.

Purple as the base, with black and red wrapped around it. The three colors intertwined and collided, like three giant dragons locked in combat, carrying a world-destroying power as it struck straight down from the heavens.

Wherever the lightning passed, the void trembled.

The invisible space seemed to be torn open with fine cracks, which then quickly healed.

Each tear and healing released a heart-palpitating wave.

The mountains within a hundred miles trembled violently at this moment.

Countless rocks tumbled down, countless ancient trees snapped, as if the end of the world had arrived.

“This… this is too terrifying!”

Wei Shanhai’s legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

In all his years, he had never witnessed such a terrifying sight.

Xiao Yan and Xiao Li also stared intently at the descending lightning bolt, their faces grave.

Although they trusted Grandpa Chen’s strength, the power of this lightning bolt was truly terrifying.

Just then, atop the mountain, the old doctor moved.

He slowly raised his right hand.

A long sword had appeared in his hand.

The sword looked ordinary, its blade long and slender, its edge concealed, without any decoration—like a simple iron sword.

But the moment the old doctor grasped the hilt, an indescribable aura rose from him.

It was an aura sharp to the extreme.

Yet, within that sharpness lay a gentle, all-encompassing warmth.

Like a spring breeze and rain, or a leaping fire.

Two completely different meanings merged perfectly within him, inseparable.

Then, a strange domain finally manifested itself.

The domain, centered on the old doctor, instantly expanded, enveloping the entire mountaintop.

Within the domain, water flowed gently, and flames danced.

Water and fire intertwined, yet remained undisturbed, creating a harmonious scene.

Even more peculiar was the sharp edge contained within the water and flames—

sword intent .

The old doctor’s sword intent had been completely integrated into his understanding of the principles of water and fire, the three becoming one, inseparable.

“So that’s how it is…”

A hint of understanding flashed in Lu Qing’s eyes.

His master’s domain was even more profound than he had imagined.

It wasn’t simply a water domain, nor simply a fire domain, but a unique sword domain forged with sword intent as its bone and the principles of water and fire as its flesh and blood.

Within this domain, his master was the master.

Any power entering the domain would be worn down by the water and fire, weakened by the sword intent.

This was why the previous six tribulation lightning bolts hadn’t even managed to injure his master.

And now, the old doctor was finally about to truly make his move.

He looked up at the descending triangular lightning, his eyes showing no fear, only calm.

Then, he swung his sword.

A sword light shot into the sky.

The sword light wasn’t dazzling; it could even be described as simple.

It lacked vibrant colors and astonishing power; it was just a simple sword strike, slashing straight towards the heavens.

But even this simple strike brought a look of admiration to Lu Qing’s eyes.

Because he could see that this sword strike had returned to its true essence.

It contained his master’s lifelong understanding of the sword path, his comprehension of the principles of water and fire, and his centuries of arduous cultivation and refinement.

There was nothing superfluous, nothing wasted.

Perfectly timed, perfectly natural.

The sword light and the tribulation lightning collided instantly.

Boom!!!

A deafening roar shook the heavens and earth.

The triangular lightning had actually been cleaved in two by the old doctor’s sword light!

Wei Shanhai’s mouth gaped open, speechless.

He couldn’t imagine that such a world-destroying tribulation lightning could be cleaved in two with a single sword strike!

But the power of the heavenly tribulation was far more complex than that.

The tribulation lightning, cleaved in two, did not dissipate.

Instead, it split into two streaks, one red and one black, continuing to strike the old doctor from the left and right.

The red streak was like fire, scorching and oppressive.

The black streak was like water, chilling and piercing to the bone.

The two bolts of tribulation lightning, each containing pure legal essence, remained undiminished in power.

The old doctor’s expression remained unchanged.

He slightly turned his body, and his longsword swung again.

This time, he unleashed two strikes.

One to the left, one to the right.

The two sword lights met the red and black bolts of tribulation lightning respectively.

Boom! Boom!

Two more loud explosions.

The red and black bolts of tribulation lightning were once again cleaved apart by the sword light.

But this time, the cleaved lightning did not split apart, but exploded directly, transforming into countless tiny bolts of lightning that enveloped the entire mountaintop.

In an instant, the mountain peak where the old doctor stood was completely submerged by the red and black lightning.

From the sky, the mountaintop seemed to have transformed into a giant red and black yin-yang millstone, slowly rotating.

With each rotation of the millstone, countless bolts of lightning exploded, unleashing a heart-palpitating power.

And the mountain peak beneath the old doctor’s feet was being crushed bit by bit by the rotation of this millstone.

Huge boulders tumbled down, and the entire mountain peak visibly shrank.

“Grandpa Chen!”

Xiao Yan exclaimed, her face pale.

Xiao Li also stared intently at the red and black millstone, her eyes filled with worry.

Xiao Bai paced anxiously in circles, unsure of what to do.

Only Lu Qing remained calm, quietly watching the red and black lightning.

He could sense that although his master’s aura fluctuated, it remained stable.

The millstone, though terrifying, could not fundamentally harm his master.

Time passed slowly.

The red and black millstone gradually slowed its rotation.

Finally, the lightning dissipated, revealing the mountaintop.

No, there was no mountaintop anymore.

The once towering peak, empowered by the power of the heaven and earth array, had now been ground down by over a hundred feet, leaving only a huge platform.

On the platform, the old doctor appeared somewhat disheveled.

His robes were torn in many places, revealing scorched skin beneath.

His hair was also disheveled, with a few strands of white hair hanging over his forehead. He had many wounds on his body, some still oozing blood.

But his eyes were brighter than before.

Within that brightness, there was a hint of contemplation, a touch of sudden realization, as if he had grasped something from the tribulation lightning just now.

“Grandpa Chen is alright!”

Xiao Yan was overjoyed, almost jumping for joy.

Xiao Li also breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes filled with happiness.

Wei Shan Hai collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, as if he himself had just undergone the tribulation.

Lu Qing nodded slightly.

Master was indeed powerful.

Although the seventh tribulation lightning was fierce, Master had withstood it with his own strength, and judging from his eyes, he seemed to have gained some insight from it.

This was the true meaning of undergoing tribulation.

It was not simply enduring the lightning strikes, but comprehending the Dao of Heaven amidst the thunder, tempering oneself between life and death.

In the sky, the three-colored tribulation clouds surged again.

The eighth tribulation lightning was brewing.

This time, the tribulation clouds churned even more violently.

Purple, black, and red lights flickered erratically, like three giant dragons fighting in the clouds, ready to pounce at any moment.

The old doctor looked up at the sky and took a deep breath.

He glanced down at his wounds, then at the longsword in his hand, before looking up again at the churning tribulation clouds.

His eyes remained calm, without a trace of fear.

A moment later, the eighth bolt of tribulation lightning struck.

This bolt was even stronger than the seventh. Its

three-colored light almost illuminated the entire world.

Its immense power not only made the mountains tremble but also shook the earth.

The old doctor swung his sword again.

The sword light soared into the sky, colliding with the tribulation lightning.

Boom!

A deafening roar shook the heavens and earth.

This time, the old doctor was unable to completely block the tribulation lightning.

The sword light and the tribulation lightning clashed for a moment, but the lightning ultimately broke through and struck the old doctor hard.

The mountains were once again enveloped, and boundless power erupted.

By the time the eighth bolt of tribulation lightning completely dissipated, the old doctor was covered in wounds, charred black, and his aura had weakened considerably.

But the thoughtful light in his eyes shone even brighter.

“There’s one last one…” Lu Qing said softly.

In the sky, the three-colored tribulation clouds surged to their peak.

The purple, black, and red lights had completely merged into one, transforming into an indescribable gray.

Within that gray, something was faintly brewing.

A moment later, the ninth tribulation lightning struck.

Boom!

The final tribulation lightning fell from the heavens, and wherever it passed, the void collapsed.

The space of their home world was far more fragile than that of the Tianyuan Great World; how could it withstand such power?

Countless dark cracks appeared as the light fell, densely packed like a spider web, spreading in all directions.

Within those cracks, one could faintly see the turbulent currents of the void surging, emanating a chilling aura.

“Space has shattered!”

Xiao Yan exclaimed in shock.

Although she was already a Nascent Soul cultivator, seeing this scene still terrified her.

Xiao Li’s fur stood on end; even having achieved Nascent Soul status, it still felt a strong threat.

The massive bolt of lightning struck directly towards the mountain where the old doctor stood.

No, it could no longer be called a mountain; it was merely a vast platform.

The old doctor stood on the platform, gazing up at the descending light.

His figure appeared exceptionally small in the lightning’s glow.

Yet, he did not flinch.

He took a deep breath and gripped his sword tightly.

Then, he drew his sword.

With this strike, he poured all his strength into the sword light, merging his sword domain into the blade!

Boom!

A deafening roar shook the entire world.

The massive platform shattered instantly.

Countless rocks were reduced to dust, billowing into the sky.

The lightning and sword light clashed for a moment, but the lightning ultimately prevailed, slamming into the old doctor.

The old doctor was blasted into the ground, vanishing without a trace.

The lightning, however, continued its downward momentum, blasting a bottomless crater into the earth.

The entire world fell silent.

Only the terrifying lightning remained, enveloping the land and ravaging everything in its path.

After a long time, the lightning dissipated, the dust settled, revealing the bottom of the crater.

A figure lay there silently.

It was the old doctor.

He was covered in wounds, almost no part of his skin unscathed. His robes were torn, revealing a crisscrossing network of scars beneath. His breath was extremely weak, as if it might dissipate at any moment.

But his eyes remained open.

Those eyes were still bright, still resolute,

like a pine tree on a cliff that had withstood the wind and frost, yet still stood tall.

“Grandpa Chen is alive!”

Xiao Yan exclaimed with joy, tears finally streaming down her face.

Xiao Li and Xiao Bai cheered, spinning around excitedly.

Wei Shan Hai was also in tears, repeatedly saying, “That’s great! That’s great!”

Lu Qing smiled as well.

The nine tribulation lightning bolts had passed; his master’s primordial spirit tribulation had truly been overcome.

Sure enough, at that moment, the churning tribulation clouds in the sky began to gradually dissipate.

The vortex of heavenly tribulation also gradually disappeared, as if it had never existed.

And a stream of light flew out from the depths of the heavenly tribulation vortex, landing directly on the old doctor.

It was a dazzling stream of light, containing endless mysteries.

The moment the light entered his body, countless spiritual energies and life force surged from the depths of the void, enveloping the old doctor entirely.

The spiritual energy and vitality flowed continuously into the old doctor’s body, repairing his broken form and nourishing his weakened soul.

The wounds on his body began to heal at a visible speed.

His faint aura also began to rise rapidly, growing stronger and stronger.

The heavenly tribulation had passed, and the old doctor began to formally condense his primordial spirit! (End of Chapter)
