Protagonist:
Xu Zhangqing
Xu Zhangqing took the Lei Mai Ling Shen and the Thunder Fire Fruit at the same time, and felt a warm current mixed with faint thunder power flowing inside his body, his meridians becoming tough, as if an invisible barrier had formed around him.
He equipped all his magic tools, stuck spirit talismans on key parts of his body, and stuffed pills directly into his mouth.
Next he activated four spiritual arrays, letting them surround himself, the Five-Colored Banner suspended above his head, the Su Ge Shield blocking in front of him, the entire defense system becoming seamless.
After doing all this, Xu Zhangqing sat cross-legged, his own magic power resonating with the Secret Realm's spiritual energy, the Heaven-grade Golden Core and the Xuan Seal spinning round and round in his Qi Sea, five-colored spiritual light flowing unceasingly.
As time passed, the tribulation clouds above the Secret Realm finally broke through the obstruction of the Qingdi Garden's restrictions and fell irresistibly.
The first layer of pale-white thunder sea, the turbid thunder of Metal carrying sharp cutting laws, specifically restrained the Wood Spirit Root among the Five Elements.
Wherever the turbid thunder passed, patches of wood vines were cut by invisible sharp power and snapped section by section, tender green leaves turned yellow and curled up, and even the rich Wood Spirit Qi in the air was cut thin by several points, suppressed and difficult to flow.
Xu Zhangqing sat cross-legged in silence, not lifting his eyelids at all.
The green flag above his head first glowed with rich spiritual light, simultaneously drawing the pure Wood Spirit Qi in the Qingdi Garden that had not been affected, surging like a tide, both offsetting the restraining power of Metal's turbid thunder with "Wood flourishing," and nourishing the vines that had been cut.
Although Metal restrains Wood among the Five Elements, if Wood is tough enough, it can also weaken Metal's sharpness.
At the same time, the Qingmu Suozi Armor on his body surface burst forth with dazzling spiritual light, the wood crystals in the gaps of the armor plates spinning rapidly, completely resolving the turbid thunder power that had seeped in.
Xu Zhangqing raised his hand to pick up a cup of Spirit Tea and took a sip: "Metal may restrain Wood, but unfortunately it is too weak."
The Thunder Spirit Root spontaneously spun, emitting faint thunder light, instantly melting away a wisp of leaked turbid thunder.
He still had spare energy to activate the Ten Thousand Wood Barrier Array; among the interwoven wood vines, not only were the scattered Metal turbid thunder absorbed and transformed, but tender branches also actively extended, wrapping around the broken Lingti to help them heal quickly.
In less than an incense stick, the first layer of thunder sea dissipated.
The affected Lingti stretched out their leaves again under the nourishment of Wood Spirit Qi, but faint white sword marks remained at the broken places, becoming traces of the thunder sea's passage.
Soon, the second layer of dark-green thunder sea followed closely, the turbid thunder of Wood carrying entangling laws, even mixed with corrosive power, specifically restraining the Earth Spirit Root.
As this turbid thunder fell, the ground changed instantly.
Originally solid spirit soil became soft, like rotten mud soaked through by water, spirit plant roots hidden in the soil crazily drilled out, as if fleeing for their lives.
The Spirit Spring in the distance, its spring water became especially turbid.
Xu Zhangqing's mind moved, the Yellow Flag above his head glowing with heavy earth-colored spiritual light; the Yellow Flag mainly stabilized, condensing into a solid Earth Shield, exactly restraining the Wood turbid thunder's "entangling corrosion."
At the same time, the thunder-guiding patterns on the Xuan Iron Arm Guard actively adsorbed part of the turbid thunder carrying corrosive power, leading it into the Thunder Marsh Pearl to transform into gentle spiritual energy.
The anti-slip patterns on the Xuanshi War Boots beneath his feet flashed, removing all the remaining power of the turbid thunder conducted to the ground; the originally soft ground became solid again.
The earth wall of the Five Elements Thunder Control Array rose in response, hard-resisting the main force of the thunder sea; the turbid thunder carrying corrosive power, like vines wrapping around rock, not only could not shake it in the slightest, but slowly dissipated.
Xu Zhangqing decisively swallowed a Ningshen Dingshen Pill; the pill melted upon entering his mouth, nourishing his Divine Soul: "Wood may restrain Earth, but as long as Earth is hard enough, Wood has nowhere to take root."
Suddenly, the third layer of black-yellow thunder sea fell, the turbid thunder of Earth carrying heavy suppression and solidification laws, specifically restraining the Water Spirit Root.
The turbid thunder power solidified and blocked the spirit roots, cutting off the flow of water power.
The moment the thunder sea arrived, the Spirit Spring changed.
Originally trickling spring water was wrapped by the Earth system turbid thunder's solidification power, turning into semi-solid mud, with a hard earth crust quickly condensing on the surface, sealing the spring eye tightly.
Water vapor in the air was no longer light mist, but was adsorbed by earth qi, condensing into tiny mud pellets that crackled as they fell.
The spirit soil on the ground was cracked by the heavy power of the turbid thunder; originally moist soil, because water vapor could not rise upward, instead became dry and compacted, crumbling bit by bit.
Xu Zhangqing remained calm; the Water Control Mysterious Flag above his head glowed with a dim light; this flag mainly concealed and protected, instantly condensing a semi-transparent Water Curtain around his body, while also activating the Water Spirit Pearl on the Lingxi Belt, using "Water's agility" to bypass the heavy suppression of Earth system turbid thunder.
The lightning-avoiding patterns on the Xuanshi War Boots operated at full power, completely isolating the turbid thunder power under his feet.
The water wall of the Five Elements Thunder Control Array rose in response; amidst rolling water waves, the heavy power of Earth system turbid thunder was removed layer by layer; the falling mud pellets, upon meeting the water wall, were instantly washed into fine sand.
The Thunder Spirit Guidance Array took the opportunity to divert three tenths of the turbid thunder, leaving only seven tenths of power to fall on the water wall; the crisis was thus easily resolved.
Xu Zhangqing flicked his finger, sticking a Nine Heavens Leifeng Protection Talisman on the Su Ge Shield: "Earth may restrain Water, but Water has no constant form, and Earth cannot completely cover it."
The shield surface spun with a vortex, directly swallowing a wisp of leaked turbid thunder and transforming it into energy.
The thunder sea dissipated; he raised his hand and waved at the Spirit Spring; under the empowerment of the Water Control Mysterious Flag, a refined stream of water like a sharp sword precisely pierced the earth's crust on the Spirit Spring's surface, while also activating underground water pulses to dredge the blocked water source.
The mud-like spring water gradually became clear again, trickling once more.
The compacted soil around also became moist and soft under the rising water vapor.
Immediately after, the fourth layer of gloomy-blue thunder sea and the fifth layer of crimson-red thunder sea, as if agreed upon, poured down from the tribulation clouds at the same time.
The gloomy-blue thunder sea carried piercing extreme cold, specifically restraining the Fire Spirit Root.
The crimson-red thunder sea carried Burning Heaven fierce flames, specifically restraining the Metal Spirit Root.
The thunder sea, one ice and one fire, one cold and one fierce, intertwined into the terrifying scene of "Ice and Fire Joint Attack."
The moment the thunder sea fell, the Wanling Heavenly Garden completely fell into chaos.
Half of the Spirit Mist condensed into sharp ice stalactites, half turned into scalding steam; tender Lingti were just pierced by ice stalactites, then instantly roasted into charcoal by fierce flames.
The spirit soil violently contracted and expanded between extreme cold and extreme heat, cracking open deep grooves like spiderwebs; the air was filled with cold qi that could freeze spiritual power, and also wrapped with heat waves that could melt metal; even space was slightly distorted under the impact of one cold and one hot.
Xu Zhangqing was expressionless, his mind and spirit not the slightest bit chaotic; two flags above his head glowed with spiritual light at the same time.
The Burning Fire Red Flag burned with refined crimson flames; this flag mainly fierce, using "Fire restrains Water" to burn the extreme cold aura of the gloomy-blue turbid thunder to nothing.
At the same time activating the Fire Spirit Beads in the Lingxi Belt to melt the cold qi that had seeped into his body.
The Water Control Mysterious Flag glowed with gloomy-blue spiritual light; this flag mainly concealed, releasing layers of cool Water Curtains using "Water restrains Fire," like flowing spiritual shields, firmly blocking the fierce flames of the crimson turbid thunder on the outside.
The Lingxi Belt simultaneously switched to the Water Spirit Pearl; the cool intent protected the Metal Spirit Root from being melted by the fierce flames.
The Five Elements Thunder Control Array also responded simultaneously; fire walls and water walls rose at the same time, forming double protection.
The fire wall assisted the red flag, completely driving away the residual cold qi of the gloomy-blue thunder sea.
The water wall cooperated with the dark flag, removing the fierce flame power of the crimson thunder sea layer by layer.
Scalding flames slammed into the water wall, instantly turning into vast sky water mist — not only unable to harm anyone, but instead nourishing all the spiritual plants in the surroundings.
Xu Zhangqing seized the chance to swallow a Thunder Fire Avoid Tribulation Pill into his abdomen; the pill's power swiftly neutralized the lingering sensation of intertwined cold and heat.
At the same time his fingertip flicked, a Ten Thousand Trees Return to Spring Talisman flew out, spiritual light enveloping the surroundings; the spiritual plants caught in the ice and fire pinch attack sprouted tender buds from their charred branches under the nourishment of the talisman's power, and the root systems pierced by ice stalactites healed anew.
By this point, Xu Zhangqing had already endured the first five layers of thunder seas; now ten layers remained.
The previous several layers of thunder seas all followed the five elements mutual restraint rules, specifically targeting his five elements spiritual roots, yet all were easily resolved by the "five elements perfection" spiritual root advantage, as well as the application of magic treasures and spiritual arrays.
Coupled with the thunder spirit root's high resistance trait and the Qingdi Garden prohibition's weakening, Xu Zhangqing went through the whole process as if on vacation, even watering a few rare spiritual plants beside him during the gaps between two layers of thunder seas.
However, starting from the sixth layer deep purple thunder sea, everything became not simple.
It was the first turbid thunder specifically restraining the thunder spirit root; the thunder power was pure to the extreme, carrying the "thunder tribulation backlash" law, using thunder to overcome thunder, causing the thunder power to run wild.
When this thunder sea fell, there were no obvious phenomena like the previous several layers, yet it caused all the spiritual plants in the Wanling Heavenly Garden to become listless.
However, Xu Zhangqing's thunder spirit root had long since, with the Longhu Immortal Sect's help, undergone the thunder pool's tempering to become incomparably pure; therefore when the thunder sea fell, the thunder spirit root inside his body not only did not run wild, but instead actively stirred like a long drought meeting sweet dew, mutually clashing with the turbid thunder power.
Xu Zhangqing let out a light laugh: "Finally it's become interesting."
Immediately, the Su Ge Shield thrust forward, the shield-face vortex spinning wildly, devouring the deep purple turbid thunder.
Above his head the five-colored banner wove into a five-colored light curtain, filtering the rampaging thunder power layer by layer; the Juling Avoid Tribulation Wrist continuously gathered wood spirit qi, forming a buffer layer to prevent the thunder power from becoming too violent, while simultaneously nourishing the surrounding listless spiritual plants.
Although this layer of thunder sea's power was twice as strong as the previous several layers, it still did not move him; on the contrary, it made the thunder spirit root inside his body grow even stronger.
When the sixth layer thunder sea dissipated, the seventh layer orange-yellow thunder sea arrived quietly.
This was the first dual-attribute fused turbid thunder; the thunder sea was like melted gold sand, wrapped in heavy earth mist rolling down.
The gold turbid thunder's "sharp cutting" and the earth turbid thunder's "heavy suppression" intertwined, specifically restraining Xu Zhangqing's wood spirit root and water spirit root.
Where the thunder sea passed, the entire Wanling Heavenly Garden made "creak creak" sounds, even the spiritual energy was tightly suppressed!
