Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

A Five Elements Spiritual Root must pass through five Thunder Tribulations to condense a Golden Core.

Currently Xu Zhangqing has just passed the third one, therefore he has only condensed a single Light Ball.

The only difference is that the color has changed — not five colors, but Mysterious Color.

However, before Xu Zhangqing could even rest, with the Third Heavenly Tribulation's residual smoke still not dispersed, the Tribulation Clouds above his head once again crackled with "zila" "zila" sounds.

In an instant thunder rumbled continuously, lightning flickered.

Not long after, it actually started to rain, covering a hundred-zhang range.

There was Supreme Yang Golden Thunder Rain that melts Spirit Tools.

Withering Wood Thunder Rain that corrodes and severs Spiritual Roots.

Xuan Yin Water Thunder Rain that seals and condenses the Divine Soul.

Burning Flame Thunder Rain that incinerates Consciousness.

Suppressing Earth Thunder Rain that ravages the physical body.

The Five Thunders combined, transforming into a torrential downpour pouring down.

Initially, Xu Zhangqing still wanted to block it, but all the Spirit Tools on his body simply could not endure the Fourth Wave of Tribulation's targeted damage, breaking apart within minutes.

You must know, the weakest among these were all 5-pattern Spirit Weapons, extremely valuable outside, therefore their effects were extremely powerful.

However, regardless of how Xu Zhangqing strove, even employing Five Elements alternating Mutual Generation and Mutual Overcoming, facing this torrential thunder rain, he fundamentally could not persist.

Watching the Spirit Tools on his body dim one after another, and because he bore too much Suppressing Earth Thunder, the pressure grew greater and greater, as if carrying a small mountain.

At this moment, he experienced the terror of the Fourth Tribulation Lightning.

The First Heavenly Tribulation was merely a single Turbid Thunder.

The Second Heavenly Tribulation was just five Thunder Snakes.

The Third Heavenly Tribulation, the Thunder Beast was actually strong in appearance but weak in reality.

However the Fourth Heavenly Tribulation, namely the Five Elements "Thunder Rain", was completely unreasonable.

It would test through the first three times, then in the fourth time conduct deliberate targeting.

Thinking back and forth, Xu Zhangqing made a final struggle.

He activated his own Five-Element Spiritual Light Shield, hoping for some effect.

Testing revealed there was indeed effect, but not much.

Because his realm was too low, the Spiritual Light Shield's thickness was insufficient.

Initially facing the five types of thunder rain's attacks, he could indeed resolve them through the Five Elements Mutual Generation and Mutual Overcoming Way, but as time passed, this thunder rain showed not the slightest intention of stopping, instead becoming more and more fierce, falling heavier and heavier.

Hua lala sounds rang out, sounding extremely terrifying.

The great cloud rain he summoned was stubbornly scattered.

The Spiritual Light Shield moreover continuously shrank, even growing increasingly dim.

Continuing like this, sooner or later he would be infiltrated into a sieve by this terrifying thunder rain.

Xu Zhangqing said resentfully: "Is this not bullying an honest person?"

Afterward, he activated the 1st Xuan Yuan Golden Light Talisman.

Streaks of Golden Lines appeared before his eyes, then outlined a golden Spirit Talisman.

In an instant, Xu Zhangqing felt a difference.

Previously, even with the Spiritual Light Shield and various Spirit Tools protecting him, facing the Fourth Heavenly Tribulation there was still enormous pressure, appearing extremely nervous.

When the Xuan Yuan Golden Light Talisman activated, the atmosphere abruptly quieted down, even unable to sense a shred of threat, as if everything was isolated outside.

"This, is the Xuan Yuan Golden Light Talisman's Heaven-Defying aspect?"

"Even the Fourth Heavenly Tribulation can be blocked."

"Judging by the look, it should be able to persist for a long time!"

At this moment, Xu Zhangqing finally experienced the feeling Li Lingbi had when he originally activated the Xuan Yuan Golden Light Talisman; one must admit it was indeed very satisfying.

Perhaps sensing Xu Zhangqing's "cheating" behavior, the thunder rain's coverage range shrank bit by bit, quickly reducing from a hundred zhang to ten zhang.

At the Same Time, the rain fell harder and harder, the impacts on the Xuan Yuan Golden Light Talisman growing increasingly dense.

At the beginning, it could indeed withstand it, not a single problem.

But as the range continuously shrank, even reaching one zhang, suddenly Xu Zhangqing once again heard dense pattering rain sounds.

Very obviously, facing the Fourth Tribulation Lightning's attacks, 1 Xuan Yuan Golden Light Talisman was fundamentally not enough.

Seeing this, he could only take out the 2nd Xuan Yuan Golden Light Talisman, but did not use it immediately, instead waiting a while longer.

He only had 10 on him, save where he could.

After All, there was still the Fifth Heavenly Tribulation.

At this time, the thunder rain's coverage range had already shrunk from one zhang to one meter; judging by the look it would not shrink further, yet it brought an unprecedented oppressive feeling.

Crackling explosions resounded, as if urging death.

Under the thunder rain's scouring, the Xuan Yuan Golden Light Talisman flickered wildly, frequency growing faster and faster.

At first the Spiritual Light was still fairly obvious, but not long after it turned dim, like a candle in the wind, liable to extinguish at any moment.

Xu Zhangqing decisively activated the 2nd Xuan Yuan Golden Light Talisman.

Golden Light flashed, Golden Lines once again floated in the air, that feeling of isolating everything, he experienced it once again.

After about an incense stick's time, the rain gradually lessened, and whether sound, movement, or the impact caused, everything grew quieter and quieter as time passed.

Finally, "the rain passed and the sky cleared," and it stopped completely.

When he crossed the fourth thunder tribulation, the light ball in his Qi Sea became increasingly condensed.

And, the Metal Spiritual Power actually hid inside the Wood Spiritual Power, then transformed into Water Spiritual Power and emerged; then the Water Spiritual Power gave birth to Fire Spiritual Power, the Fire Spiritual Power turned into Water Spiritual Power, and subsequently released Earth Spiritual Power, as if constantly mutually overcoming and mutually generating, falling into a cycle.

But the more it was like this, the more obvious the Mysterious Color became, and the more condensed the light ball became.

Just as Xu Changqing was carefully sensing, a "Click" sound came from the depths of the tribulation clouds, and a pressure more concentrated than the first four thunder tribulations combined suddenly descended.

A Chaos Thunder Core ten zhang in diameter slowly emerged from within, its core surface flowing with five-colored thunder patterns, condensing into a dark vortex that devoured all things at its center.

Looking at it overall, it not only contained Metal's sharpness, Wood's life, Water's gentleness, Fire's ferocity, and Earth's thickness, but also carried the Chaos characteristic of "neither birth nor death."

Before the thunder core even landed, everything in the surroundings began to vanish; the Spirit Tools on Xu Changqing's body couldn't withstand even a single breath — the Xuan Huang Thick Earth Armor, Hunyuan Spirit-Absorbing Robe, Five-Line Entangling Silk Wristbands, Five Elements Rings on both hands, Treading Gang Stepping Dou Boots, and so on and so forth all turned to dust in an instant.

Facing this terrifying power, only the Xuan Yuan Golden Light Talisman barely held on.

Xu Changqing's pupils contracted: "This is the fifth thunder tribulation?"

To tell the truth, it was countless times more terrifying than imagined.

He felt the thunderstorm just now had already become "drizzle" level.

Now the Spirit Tools were all gone, 8 Xuan Yuan Golden Light Talismans remained, and in his mouth he still had 1 Five-Line Spirit-Containing Pill and 1 Five Elements Chaos Yuan Pill.

Accompanied by a humming sound, the thunder core crashed down, striking squarely on the 2nd Xuan Yuan Golden Light Talisman that hadn't yet been exhausted, as if the entire world shook for a moment.

The protective shield violently caved in, golden light "shua shua shua" flashed explosively, then with a "pa" sound it shattered.

Fortunately at the same time, Xu Changqing activated the 3rd Xuan Yuan Golden Light Talisman, forcibly enduring the thunder core's first wave of impact.

Right then, the dark vortex at the thunder core's center suddenly swelled, and the spewed Chaos Turbid Qi slammed into the golden light shield, actually corroding three loopholes.

A terrifying aura poured down from above; the moment Xu Changqing made contact, his flesh turned charred black, revealing snow-white bones, and even his Divine Soul and Consciousness suffered severe erosion.

He didn't hesitate at all, decisively swallowing the 2 Spirit Pills in his mouth.

Instantly, rich Life Force spread throughout his body, and wounds repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It wasn't over yet; Xu Changqing activated the 4th and 5th Xuan Yuan Golden Light Talismans, not daring to be careless now.

In a flash the golden light surged, becoming brighter and more condensed than before, not only repairing the loopholes but also forcing back the turbid qi.

At this time, Xu Changqing surprisingly discovered that when the thunder core could no longer harm him, its core was actually weakening bit by bit.

This, is it not another form of mutual generation and mutual overcoming?

When the Xuan Yuan Golden Light Talisman weakened, the thunder core would become even more dominant.

When he activated another Xuan Yuan Golden Light Talisman, the thunder core began to weaken again.

Right now, it had clearly become a tug-of-war, just seeing who couldn't endure first.

The 6th talisman, the thunder core was only half left.

The 7th talisman, the thunder core was less than one-third.

The 8th talisman, only the core part of the thunder core remained.

The 9th talisman, after the thunder core erupted one final dominant attack, seeing it could not break through the Xuan Yuan Golden Light Talisman's defense, finally exploded with a boom.

The power of the Five Elements and Chaos, ignoring the Xuan Yuan Golden Light Talisman's obstruction, directly poured into the tribulation-crosser's body.

The body's damage, the Divine Soul's damage, at this moment were both repaired.

Aura and state climbed steadily, soon reaching an unprecedented peak.

The Golden Core that was already condensing bit by bit, under the impact of this power, plus the coordination of the Five Elements Spiritual Power, in an instant became incomparably clear.

In the depths of the Qi Sea, a trace of heaviness was born.

Xu Changqing immediately looked inward, and was instantly shocked.

Before crossing the fifth thunder tribulation, although the Golden Core was Mysterious Color, the five-colored Spiritual Power could still be seen.

Looking now, the Dan Body had already solidified, its diameter fully fist-sized, surface smooth and patternless, both hard as a Star Core and warm and moist like ancient Jade.

At this time, the vast sky's tribulation clouds stopped rolling, the lead-gray cloud layers receded like a tide, then condensed into a group of Mysterious Marks in the high sky...
