Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Two breaths later, the Fourth Turbid Lightning descended.

Red, blue, green, and yellow four-color lightning intertwined, like a rotating pillar of colorful light.

Precisely the fire, wood, water, and earth four-attribute turbid lightning, restraining the gold, wood, water, and earth four spirit roots.

The power of this tribulation lightning had doubled again compared to the third; the moment it condensed, the entire area around Xingqiong Hall began to buzz and hum, light flickering unsteadily.

Xu Ping'an flipped his left hand, and three top-grade defensive talismans appeared simultaneously in his palm: respectively the Gather Earth Talisman, Soul-Suppressing Talisman, and Diamond Talisman.

Urging his spiritual power, the three talismans activated simultaneously; three light shields of different colors overlapped before the water curtain, forming a three-layer protection wall.

The four-color lightning pillar crashed down; the first light shield shattered instantly, the second light shield's radiance dimmed, the third light shield barely blocked the lightning pillar's impact, yet it too was covered in cracks.

Residual lightning power pierced the light shields, striking the water curtain; the water curtain shattered in response, the lightning light fell on the Jingang Armor, and cracks instantly expanded several times over.

Xu Ping'an's figure swayed slightly, and he couldn't help but retreat half a step.

Yet he remained composed and calm, quickly settling his disordered spiritual power.

The instant the Fourth Turbid Lightning dissipated, the Fifth Turbid Lightning condensed into form without the slightest pause.

Five-color lightning entwined into a lightning pillar one zhang thick; precisely the ultimate turbid lightning restraining the five kinds of spirit roots.

As the lightning pillar slashed down, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth instantly stagnated, even the wind stopped.

Along its path space shattered inch by inch, cracks spreading like spiderwebs.

A destructive pressure instantly enveloped a hundred li.

Fortunately, those watching this tribulation crossing were either Golden Core True Persons or Nascent Soul True Lords, even Spirit Transformation Venerables were present; therefore they paid it no mind.

"Five Elements against Five Elements, let's see who comes out on top!"

Xu Ping'an raised his head and let out a long howl, sharp light erupting in his eyes.

He held nothing back further, activating every top-grade spirit tool on his person.

The Po Sha Spear's radiance surged, stabbing straight at the vault of heaven.

The Jingang Armor's radiance blazed, cracks rapidly knitting under the urging of spiritual power.

The Bi Shui Pearl transformed into a blue water dragon, coiling around his body, emitting a faint, barely-there dragon's chant.

At the same time he took out Qingmu Peak's Source Spring Water, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.

Rich life force surged into his body, returning his whole person to peak state.

Not only that, Xu Ping'an circulated the Five Elements Secret Art imparted by Li Wudao; the five elements spiritual power around him rotated wildly, transforming into a five-color vortex.

It appeared he intended to use his own five elements power to forcibly clash against this Five Elements Tribulation's restraining tribulation lightning.

Boom!!!

A deafening sound echoed through the Nine Heavens; within a hundred li everything trembled violently.

Five elements power collided with, devoured, and annihilated each other.

Violent energy shockwaves surged outward; when they neared Xingqiong Hall, they were blocked by countless starlight.

Xu Ping'an's figure swayed slightly in the shockwave; the Jingang Armor shattered completely, the Bi Shui Pearl's light dimmed, and it fell to the ground.

His body was covered in fine wounds, and blood traces overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

Yet the Po Sha Spear in his hand remained tightly gripped, and the five-color vortex around him still rotated without cease.

Finally, the lightning pillar's power was exhausted, turning into sky-full five-color light spots, all devoured by the five-color vortex.

Xu Ping'an took a deep breath, slowly concluding his exercise.

Wounds on his body healed rapidly under the nourishment of life force; though his internal spiritual power was mostly consumed, it had become even more condensed.

At his dantian, that five-color Golden Core prototype, after devouring the Five Elements Turbulent Lightning's power, grew even more solid, faintly turning a mysterious color.

In the distance, Xu Zhangqing's suspended heart finally settled, his eyes full of relief and pride.

Li Wudao praised loudly: "Good! Good! Good!

My Li Wudao's disciple, truly a once-in-a-thousand-years prodigy!"

The First Tribulation's residual might had not yet dissipated when the tribulation clouds surged up once more.

This time, from within the cloud layers came bursts of sharp hissing, like ten thousand venomous snakes flicking their tongues simultaneously, making one's scalp tingle.

Hiss~ Hiss~

Five lightning snakes of differing colors slowly poked their heads out from the tribulation clouds.

The gold snake was pure white all over, scales like cast platinum, flashing with sharp cold light, its mouth exhaling electric arcs.

The wood snake was blue-green like jade, its body entwined with pale green thunder vines, emitting a poisonous aura that corroded vitality.

The water snake was deep blue like the deep sea, surrounded by water mist; falling water droplets exploded upon hitting the ground, turning into tiny thunder pearls.

The fire snake was scarlet like raging flame, its body burning with blazing thunder fire; spreading heat waves scorched the air into distortion.

The earth snake was yellow like rock, its scales thick as armor, emitting a heavy pressure that suppressed all.

The five lightning snakes were agile in form, each reaching three zhang in length, coiling in the tribulation clouds, all locking onto Xu Ping'an below.

They did not attack immediately, but rapidly circled around, leaving trails of colorful thunder light.

Chao Jin said in a deep voice: "Second Tribulation, Five Elements Thunder Snakes."

Xu Ping'an gripped the Po Sha Spear tight, divine sense firmly locking onto the five lightning snakes, not daring the slightest carelessness.

Hiss~

Unknown who gave the command, the five lightning snakes attacked simultaneously.

The Golden Snake struck first, like a streak of white lightning, lunging straight for Xu Ping'an's throat, its mouth wide open, white lightning arcs flickering, carrying a sharp force that tore at skin and flesh.

The Wood Snake circled from the side, its body entwined with the Thunder Vine, attempting to bind Xu Ping'an's four limbs.

The Water Snake, Fire Snake, and Earth Snake attacked from three different directions, spouting streaks of thunder power of various attributes, blocking all of Xu Ping'an's evasion space.

"Hmph!"

Xu Ping'an's gaze turned sharp, his footwork shifting, casting the Shuixian Peak's Treading Waves Step, his figure weaving through the gaps in the thunder power like a startled swan.

At the same time, the Po Sha Spear danced airtight, spear radiance like a golden rainbow piercing the sun, precisely striking the Golden Snake's vital point.

Although the thunder snakes were formed of energy and had no true vital point, that spot was where their thunder power was weakest.

"Clang!"

The spear radiance collided with the Golden Snake, emitting a sound of metal striking metal.

The Golden Snake cried out in pain, emitting a sharp hiss, its figure dimming somewhat, but it did not dissipate; instead, it became even more ferocious, lunging again.

Xu Ping'an flipped his left hand, the Burning Heaven Talisman activating once more, surging flames sweeping toward the five thunder snakes.

The flames and the Fire Snake's thunder fire canceled each other out, but they also scorched the Wood Snake, Water Snake, and Earth Snake, dimming their figures somewhat.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Ping'an circulated Five Elements Spiritual Power, a white Light Rope appearing out of thin air, while he chanted under his breath: "Law as chain, heaven and earth as prison, seal!"

Chao Jin looked at Li Wudao in surprise: "Secret art Binding Immortal Rope?"

This is the Metal Spirit Root secret art Binding Immortal Rope, only True Disciples can learn it.

There are three levels in total, respectively Binding People, Binding Demons, Binding Immortals.

Judging from the mantra, Xu Ping'an has actually cultivated to the Second Layer.

The Light Rope flew out, precisely binding the Wood Snake's body.

It struggled incessantly, but could never break free.

"Break!"

Xu Ping'an gave a low shout, the Po Sha Spear's spear radiance surging violently, fiercely stabbing toward the Wood Snake.

The Wood Snake shattered in response, transforming into a streak of green thunder light, swallowed by the Five Elements Vortex.

Having lost one thunder snake, the remaining four thunder snakes became even more ferocious.

The Golden Snake's attacks grew increasingly fierce, the Earth Snake's defense increasingly heavy, while the Water Snake and Fire Snake continuously sprayed thunder power, attempting to consume Xu Ping'an's spiritual power.

However, Xu Ping'an grew increasingly composed as he fought.

He cast the Treading Waves Step to evade attacks on one hand, and used the Po Sha Spear to seek the thunder snakes' weak points on the other, while continuously activating various attribute talismans to specifically restrain the thunder snakes' power.

The Golden Snake feared fire, so he used the Burning Heaven Talisman to burn it.

The Water Snake feared earth, so he used the Gather Earth Talisman to block it.

The Earth Snake feared wood, so he used the Wood-Attribute Talisman to pierce it.

The Fire Snake feared water, so he used the Bi Shui Pearl to dispel it.

Half an hour later, as the last Golden Snake was entwined by the Binding Immortal Rope, Xu Ping'an took the opportunity to pierce it with the Po Sha Spear, and the Second Tribulation Lightning finally passed!
