Chapter 207: Myriad Dao Borrowing Lifespan

The fierce wind swept up Gu Yuan's robe, fluttering loudly.

He raised his head and stared directly at the descending purple‑red thunder dragon.

The lightning illuminated his dark pupils, showing no fear, only a fierce excitement at the sight of prey.

"Good timing."

Gu Yuan unleashed no treasure and released no protective aura.

He formed seals with both hands, and the ancient Myriad Dao Time Lamp deep in his dantian blazed to life.

The wick swayed, and within its fire flowed the long river of ages.

"Senior Withered Wood, don't resist!"

Gu Yuan gave a low shout, and his divine ability activated.

【Borrow Lifespan】

This divine ability was originally a killing move to steal an enemy's lifespan.

But after refining the broken immortal realm, Gu Yuan's understanding of the Myriad Dao Time advanced a step further.

Lifespan, at its core, is a fusion of vitality and law.

Heavenly thunder tribulation is likewise a manifestation of law.

If we can borrow a person's lifespan, why not borrow the power of Heaven?

Moreover, he doesn't need to borrow all of Heaven's power.

He only needs to take a bit from the Withered Wood Ancestor.

Borrow a little bit of the power of 【Karma】.

Make the thunder dragon mistakenly think he is also the 【Withered Wood Ancestor】.

Thus sharing the heavenly punishment's power on his side.

The Withered Wood Ancestor's body stiffened, then he could feel a strange connection.

He wanted to refuse.

But thinking of the renowned Gu Family young master of the immortal realm...

And recalling the sole Immortal King behind him from the Primeval Immortal Realm, he dismissed that thought at once.

Perhaps… this is a special means of the Immortal King?

The next moment, the lamp's fire turned into an invisible great net, flowing upward and directly enveloping the purple‑red thunder dragon.

The thunder dragon let out a soundless roar and struggled desperately.

The will of Heaven sensed that something strange seemed to be happening below.

But that anomaly was extraordinarily strange.

It could only follow its ingrained instinct, guiding destructive power to try to tear the net apart.

"Since you've come, don't leave just yet."

Gu Yuan sneered, his qi and blood surging within.

His Immortal Body of Longevity blazed at full power, pouring vast lifespan into the time lamp as if it were free.

Double consumption, forcibly borrowing!

The purple‑red thunder dragon was tightly bound by the time net and forcibly dragged toward Gu Yuan's body.

Below, everyone stared dumbfounded.

"He… he actually swallowed the heavenly tribulation?"

Ji Tianling covered her mouth and cried out in surprise.

The Dragon Emperor widened his dragon eyes, even forgetting to breathe.

He had just personally experienced the might of a True Immortal tribulation, knowing well how violent the laws within that lightning were.

A Nine Realms cultivator resisting a True Immortal‑level world‑destroying heavenly punishment—such an absurdity, even after searching through the history of the Primeval Immortal Realm, no second case exists.

Purple lightning entered his body.

Gu Yuan shuddered all over, fine purple electric patterns appearing on his skin.

It felt as if countless ants were gnawing at his bone seams, his meridians strained by the violent destructive force to the brink of bursting.

But he did not panic.

Within his dantian, that nascent world was spinning wildly.

The chaotic singularity acted like a greedy black hole, swallowing all the purple lightning that surged into his body.

Within the originally hazy chaotic space, streaks of purple‑red lightning flashed.

Destructive power ran rampant within the nascent world.

The endless‑soil‑formed myriad‑mile continent began to tremble, mountains collapsing, rivers breaking.

This power was too pure, too overbearing, exceeding the current load limit of the nascent world.

Just as this world stood on the edge of collapse.

The World Tree sapling rooted at the continent's center stirred.

Seven‑colored glow showered from its branches and leaves, the three thousand leaves bearing the Dao swaying in unison.

The World Tree's roots dug deep into the endless soil, forcibly drawing out, filtering, and transforming those raging purple lightning.

At destruction's end lies rebirth.

The purple‑red lightning was cleansed of its violence by the World Tree, turning into threads of pure creative qi that nourished this world.

Collapsed mountains rose again, severed rivers surged forth once more.

Moreover, this time the reshaped land was sturdier than before, the soil even carrying a hint of the imperishable rhythm of the thunder tribulation.

On the bare trunk of the World Tree, a new bud quietly sprouted.

This sprout is entirely purplish‑red, its surface naturally etched with the patterns of the Thunder Law.

Gu Yuan let out a long breath.

Won the bet.

The inner world's bottleneck was forcibly split open a crack by this bolt of purple lightning.

The progress of the world's evolution took a big step forward.

Above the Heavenly Dome.

The second tribulation lightning was divided into five parts.

Five parts are with the Withered Wood Old Ancestor.

The rest are with Gu Yuan.

Don't think it's only five parts.

But you should know, he's only at the Nine Boundaries!

This is a tribulation lightning that would make even the peak of the Nineteen Boundaries Heavenly Emperor Realm tremble with fear!

The Will of Heaven was thoroughly enraged.

The third bolt of purple lightning gave no one a chance to breathe, linking head to tail, transforming into a sea of purplish‑red lightning that poured down.

"Good timing, I was just worried the fire wasn't strong enough." Gu Yuan whispered, forming with both hands the Heaven‑Swallowing Seal from the Primeval Immortal Classic.

This time.

He again bore three parts!

Then……

The fourth bolt of purple lightning!

Gu Yuan, using the Myriad Dao Time Light Lamp and the Primeval Immortal Classic, drove the Myriad Dao Primordial Domain to its utmost.

This barely managed to block one part of it!

He knew.

He's reached his limit!

"I can't take any more." Gu Yuan was very pragmatic.

When the remaining ninety percent of the purple lightning, having passed Gu Yuan's defenses, was about to strike the Withered Wood Old Ancestor below with full force—

"Grandfather, take over!"

Gu Yuan shouted, justified and confident.

His body flickered, the Myriad Dao Time Light Lamp tracing an afterimage, and he instantly withdrew into the shadow of the hall.

This withdrawal was not only swift, but even the hem of his robe didn't touch a spark of lightning.

Gu Cangsheng had long been waiting for this moment.

He spat out the last melon‑seed shell, the wrinkles on his old face smoothing out, a gray‑purple light flashing in his eyes.

"Taking money and not doing the job—that's not the Gu Family's style."

The old ancestor stepped forward.

This step landed squarely on the head of the howling purplish‑red thunder dragon.

The void emitted a deep, mournful wail.

The world‑destroying purple lightning, once invincible, was instantly stepped on by Gu Cangsheng, thrashing wildly yet unable to move an inch.

"Scatter."

Gu Cangsheng raised his right hand, fingers loosely clenched.

The power of the Chaotic Indestructible Golden Body erupted fully at this moment.

That cluster of purplish‑red tribulation clouds that made even the true immortals of the Immortal Realm tremble was kneaded by this hand into a purple light ball the size of a fist.

The Will of Heaven thrashed wildly in Gu Cangsheng's hand, the thunderclaps it emitted filled with resentment and fear.

Gu Cangsheng paid no mind to the Will of Heaven's petty temper, and with a backhand slapped that purple light ball into the Withered Wood Old Ancestor below, who was already on the verge of turning to ash.

"Here's your fortune—catch it."

How is this undergoing tribulation?

This is clearly the old ancestor force‑feeding the heavenly tonic down someone's throat.

The Withered Wood Old Ancestor, once on the brink of death, had his charred skin and flesh quickly sloughed off under the rush of the tamed thunder origin, his newly formed body emitting an eerie purple‑gold sheen as his soul‑fire instantly surged.

Because this tribulation lightning was forcibly refined by Gu Cangsheng, the vitality it contained far exceeded the ordinary; the Withered Wood Old Ancestor's life force now even surpassed that of Ji Tianling and the Dragon Emperor by a hair.

The sky was clear and the air fresh.

The beings of the Primeval Immortal Realm once again witnessed what is meant by 'rules are made to be broken.'

Three true immortals of foreign surname took their rightful places atop the Gu Family Divine Island.
