Chapter 204

This Thunder Spirit Seed, though tiny, was connected to his divine soul!

It allowed him to be tempered and nourished by the power of thunder at every moment!

It made his control over the power of lightning even more effortless!

It also laid the most solid foundation for him to cultivate higher-level thunder divine abilities in the future!

And his main body, after absorbing such a massive amount of primordial thunder energy.

Also underwent another astonishing expansion!

The length of his body had actually reached a massive hundred zhang!

Truly like an ancient giant dragon from myths and legends, spanning between heaven and earth!

If he were to use the "Size as Desired" divine ability, he could even expand his body to a terrifying length of three hundred zhang in a short time!

At that time, a casual flick of his tail would be enough to raze a city to the ground!

At this moment!

The heavenly tribulation had passed, and the fortune was complete!

The Human-Form Tribulation was successfully completed!

Ning Chuan felt a flash of inspiration, and an unspeakable realization surged into his heart!

His terrifying hundred-zhang-long dragon body began to shrink rapidly under the gazes of everyone!

A hundred zhang, fifty zhang, thirty zhang, ten zhang...

Finally, it shrank to a length of about one zhang!

Then, his ink-black dragon body began to coil up!

Dazzling golden brilliance emanated from within his body!

Like a silkworm cocoon, it gradually wrapped his coiled dragon body completely!

Finally, it turned into a huge golden light cocoon, emitting endless vitality and a sacred aura!

It floated in mid-air, pulsing quietly, as if gestating a brand-new life!

Outside.

Above the East Sea...

The crowd on the shore of Taohuadao had long been numbed by the successive miracles before their eyes.

They could only see the blood-colored tribulation clouds in the sky, after experiencing bursts of violent churning and roaring.

Terrifying light shadows of various colors flickered within, and bursts of world-destroying movements came from them.

But, with the final heaven-shaking dragon roar.

All movement within the tribulation clouds ceased abruptly, and there was no more sound.

The entire world fell into a strange, deathly silence.

Everyone looked at the tribulation clouds, which were still churning but had mostly dissipated their destructive aura.

Their hearts were filled with tension and unease.

"Is it over?"

"The Island Master... he... did he succeed?"

"Why... why is there no sound at all?"

The crowd discussed and speculated endlessly.

Some martial artists who had previously been scared out of their wits by Ning Chuan’s supreme divine might now couldn't help but feel a glimmer of... wishful thinking.

"Could it be... could it be that the demon dragon was too arrogant at the last moment?"

"In the end, it couldn't withstand the final strike of the heavenly tribulation and perished together with the clouds...?"

Even Xiaoyaozi, within the clouds, was frowning, his eyes flickering with uncertain light.

He muttered to himself: "Strange... why did the aura of that beast... why did it suddenly disappear?"

"Could it be that he was truly so unwise, exhausting all his strength to blast the tribulation clouds, only to fail at the last moment?"

The greed he had been forcibly suppressing in his heart began to stir quietly at this moment.

He had originally come to Taohuadao to demand an explanation because he was dissatisfied that his useless disciple, Li Li Qiushui, had defected to a demon dragon.

Now, if that demon dragon had truly fallen...

Then, perhaps he could take this opportunity to pocket the entire Taohuadao, along with the many secret manuals and treasures on the island?

Even, if he could find the dragon's corpse and take its dragon core, then his future ascension to the Immortal Realm after shattering the void would not be impossible!

Thinking of this, a flash of unconcealable greed and heat appeared in Xiaoyaozi’s eyes!

Nangong Nangong Pushe and Song Que frowned, their expressions solemn.

They did not believe that an existence with Ning Chuan’s spirit and strength would fall so easily.

But the fact that the aura had indeed disappeared filled their hearts with unease and... a trace of regret.

Zhu Wang Yuyan and Wanwan, master and disciple, had even more worried expressions on their pretty faces.

They had just "hugged this golden thigh" and didn't want to be "unemployed" so soon.

They prayed in their hearts that their Master would definitely be fine!

Just as everyone was lost in their own thoughts and speculations!

Suddenly!

The blood-colored tribulation clouds churning in the sky began to slowly dissipate.

Dazzling golden rays of light spilled down from the gaps in the clouds, illuminating the entire sea surface.

As if signaling the arrival of some new life and auspiciousness.

"Look! What... what is that?!"

Someone exclaimed!

They saw that after the tribulation clouds had completely dispersed.

A huge golden light cocoon, like a sun, emitting endless vitality and a sacred aura, floated quietly in mid-air!

The cocoon was perfectly round, with mysterious runes flowing on its surface, still pulsing rhythmically, as if gestating something...

It was formed from Ning Chuan’s dragon body!

Seeing this strange scene, everyone was shocked, reacting in different ways.

Huang Rong, Wang Wang Yuyan, and the others were both surprised and happy; they could feel that the cocoon contained Ning Chuan’s familiar yet even more powerful aura!

They knew that Brother Chuan was not dead! He was undergoing some... more mysterious transformation!

And Xiaoyaozi, upon seeing the golden light cocoon emitting endless life essence.

The greed in his eyes erupted completely at this moment!

He could no longer suppress the desire in his heart!

In his view, this light cocoon must be the life essence left behind by the dragon after its failed tribulation—the dragon core!

The energy contained within it was enough to allow him to break through to a higher realm!

How could he miss such a heaven-sent opportunity?!

"Demon dragon! How dare you bully my disciple Li Qiushui! Today, this old man will act on behalf of Heaven and thoroughly refine you, you monster! Go to hell!"

Xiaoyaozi let out a roar filled with sanctimonious intent!

He no longer cared about his demeanor as a high-level expert or his status as a senior!

His figure flickered, and like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, he carried world-destroying power and struck fiercely at the huge golden light cocoon in mid-air!

He wanted... to snatch this supreme fortune!
