Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

"Someone in the Canglan Sea Region is undergoing tribulation?"

"That direction seems to be Rumeng Island!"

"Strange, strange, who on earth is so bold?!"

In the Canglan Sea Region, many people perceived the tribulation clouds, but unfortunately could not approach.

First, there was a Blue Water Demon Ape near Xuanxin City.

Second, the entrance to Rumeng Island was very hard to find.

Therefore many people marveled and were curious, yet not one person could approach.

……

……

Facing the sonic attack, Xu Zhangqing remained expressionless from beginning to end, showing not the slightest pain, after all, with his entire body of spirit tools, spirit talismans, and spirit pills, it was impossible for him to be unable to endure.

Seeing no effect, five thunder beasts stepped out from the tribulation clouds; before they landed, the golden head spat out a zhang-long Jin Ling Sword Qi, slicing through the air at extreme speed.

Xu Zhangqing saw this, and using the shifting ability of the Treading Gang Stepping Dou Boots, he merely flashed his body to open a distance of at least five zhang, easily dodging the attack.

With a "puchi" sound, the sword qi sank into the ground, no one knew how deep it penetrated; in short, a long time later a "longlong" echo came from below.

At this moment, the thunder beast halved the distance, and the wooden head sneezed, spewing out pale blue thunder-fire, which burned in the air while transforming into wildly growing vines, like a great net, attempting to envelop the person undergoing tribulation below.

Xu Zhangqing circulated the Nine Flames Mysterious Technique, activating the spiritual power in his Qi Sea: "Man Guan Lieyang Zhi!"

A point of firelight flashed, then grew increasingly fierce, finally with a "puchi" sound, transforming into a chi-thick fire line, shooting toward the vines above.

As soon as the two forces contacted, they immediately opposed each other.

Although fire controls wood, what was before them was not ordinary wood, but wood of the thunder tribulation.

Seeing this, Xu Zhangqing decisively activated the Five Elements Rotation Disk on his left hand, softly shouting: "Metal generates water, water generates wood, wood generates fire!"

Instantly, the power of Man Guan Lieyang Zhi rapidly soared.

From one chi thick, it soared to nearly one zhang thick.

The flame's might instantly suppressed the thunder tribulation wood, quickly igniting the vines above.

The wood immediately showed a pained expression, emitting low groans.

At this moment, the thunder beast's mountain-like body crashed down, triggering another earthquake; the ground cracked like a spiderweb, soil collapsed inch by inch, and a large amount of Earth Qi leaked out.

Xu Zhangqing saw this, immediately circulated his cultivation method, absorbing all the surrounding Earth Qi into his body, part of which was even poured into the Xuan Huang Thick Earth Armor; the armor's surface immediately brightened with earth-yellow light.

Suddenly, the golden head opened its mouth again, and another Jin Ling Sword Qi shot out; Xu Zhangqing, caught off guard, endured this blow with his bare body.

His whole body was pressed, forcibly sliding backward tens of meters, dragging two obvious skid marks on the ground.

Fortunately, seventy percent of the power was resisted by the Xuan Huang Thick Earth Armor, and the remaining thirty percent was absorbed by the Hunyuan Spirit-Absorbing Robe.

Therefore, the person was still fine.

The earth head seized the timing to raise its skull, letting out an angry roar; the surrounding Earth Qi rapidly condensed, then transformed into an incomparably heavy pressure, crushing down heavily on Xu Zhangqing.

At this time, the Xuan Huang Thick Earth Armor not only failed to block, but instead became an "accomplice," trapping his whole body inside, his bones creaking under the pressure.

Xu Zhangqing's expression sank slightly; decisively activating the Five Elements Rings on his ten fingers.

The sharpness of the gold ring broke the pressure on his bones.

The vitality of the wood ring repaired the injuries.

The gentle moisture of the water ring intervened to buffer.

The explosion of the fire ring offset part of the heavy pressure.

Although the heaviness of the earth ring had little effect, it led the residual might into the ground.

Xu Zhangqing's feet sank slightly; then, centered on him, everything within one thousand zhang collapsed instantly.

Fortunately, relying on the powerful effect of the spirit tool, his whole body felt much easier.

But the thunder beasts would not give him a chance to catch his breath; an even more fierce attack was launched.

The fire head opened its mouth, spitting out crimson flames, causing the air to twist and space to ripple.

The water head followed closely, releasing Gui Water Thunders one after another, with "zilala" sounds rising and falling.

Just as the double attacks came one after another, Xu Zhangqing's other spirit tool in his hand, the Wanxiang Mysterious Light Shield, rapidly unfolded; the shield's surface had flowing water light, rippling with wave after wave.

First blocking the red fire, then water and fire steamed each other, transforming into dense water vapor.

Seizing this opportunity, Xu Zhangqing waved his hand fiercely: "Great Cloud Rain Technique, Cloud Rain Thunder Gathering!"

Dark clouds gathered, and rain poured down.

Countless raindrops fell, splitting the incoming Gui Water Thunders in two.

Part was led underground, instantly becoming silent.

The other part was drawn into the dark clouds, immediately with rolling thunder, turning the heavy rain into a rainstorm.

Skillfully resolving the water-fire attack, Xu Zhangqing even took the initiative to attack, releasing a spell he had comprehended while witnessing the autumn rain: "Autumn Dew!"

Instantly, the raindrops falling from the dark clouds rapidly solidified into ice needles.

Then under his control, they swarmed toward the thunder beasts' five heads.

Ding dang!

Ding ding dang dang!

Ding ling dang lang!

The sound was like metal and stone striking each other; initially not too obvious, then growing more and more intense as it went on, until the dense, unending attacks made the five-headed thunder beasts roar continuously.

Although the damage was not great, the insult was extremely strong.

Enraged, the thunder beast's five heads roared together, then launched an attack simultaneously.

Metal's sharpness, wood's entanglement, water's corrosion, fire's ferocity, earth's heaviness combined, transforming into a five-color lightning column one zhang thick.

On the surface, this was merely a lightning column, but its actual power was more terrifying than any previous attack.

Metal breaks defense, wood locks spiritual power, water corrodes foundation, fire burns spiritual roots, earth suppresses divine soul — equivalent to unleashing the most powerful move, attempting to break through all defenses of the person undergoing tribulation in front in one go and directly exterminate them.

Xu Zhangqing narrowed his eyes; considering there were still the fourth heavenly tribulation and fifth heavenly tribulation afterward, he therefore did not use the Xuan Yuan Golden Light Talisman, but instead activated all the spirit tools on his body.

The Wanxiang Mysterious Light Shield was the first to meet the lightning column; the instant they made contact, the shield face shook violently.

The Xuan Huang Thick Earth Armor flashed with earth-yellow spiritual light, attracting and drawing in a large amount of earth qi, condensing a ten-zhang-high earth wall in front of Xu Zhangqing.

The lightning column slammed into the earth wall; the earth wall collapsed layer by layer, but fortunately it held for a period of time, bearing a portion of the damage.

Seeing the residual might approaching, the patterns on the Hunyuan Spirit-Absorbing Robe flowed like living things; then the surface luster dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye, but it still blocked it.

Xu Zhangqing was thoughtful; the Five Elements Rotation Disk turned again, the remnant thunder power was guided into five portions, then by way of the five elements' mutual restraint — metal restrains wood, wood restrains earth, earth restrains water, water restrains fire, fire restrains metal — they consumed each other.

The five-headed thunder beasts stared wide all their eyes, obviously not expecting it could still be done this way.

It still wanted to attack, but discovered the thunder power supporting it had been nearly exhausted in the continuous battle.

After letting out a silent roar of unwillingness, its body rapidly dissipated.

Xu Zhangqing's eyes brightened: "The third heavenly tribulation has been endured."

At this moment he had a spiritual sense, and focused his attention on his qi sea.

The five elements spiritual power circulated wildly, at times transforming into fine gold sand, green vine light threads, liquid water clusters, jumping fire sparks, yellow crystal blocks.

In the manner of the five elements' mutual generation they cycled continuously; each completed cycle condensed a fraction, and ultimately after ninety-nine eighty-one cycles, condensed into a mysterious-colored light ball the size of a chicken egg, suspended in the very center of the qi sea.

Xu Zhangqing exclaimed in surprise: "A golden core condensed from five elements spiritual roots — shouldn't it be five-colored?"
