Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Xuan Yan's gaze was fixed tightly on the Wu Sheng Chong Mu and Lu Chen Yuan, and in his heart he secretly thought: "The Wu Sheng Chong Mu plus the Xuan River water might truly be able to restrain Lu Chen Yuan.

But the Hundred Dragons Patrol is drawing ever closer, and everyone's crisis still has not been resolved."

However, aside from witnessing this scene, everyone already had no other recourse.

They couldn't beat him in a fight, and they couldn't kill him either.

The development of events had long since exceeded everyone's expectations.

And the standoff between the Wu Sheng Chong Mu and Lu Chen Yuan had already reached a hair-trigger point.

Around the Wu Sheng Chong Mu, the Xuan River water grew ever more vast and powerful.

In truth it was not ordinary river water, but Primordial Heavy Water; every drop contained the meaning of silent annihilation that devours all things.

Lu Chen Yuan held a dragon pearl in his palm, its light growing ever more dazzling; the Tu Soil God's body swelled violently once more, and the impure qi around him became even denser.

The auras of both sides clashed head-on, and the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth fell into complete chaos.

The collision of Xuan Water and Tu Soil, Dragon Qi and the myriad dragons resonating.

The Wu Sheng Chong Mu drove the surging Xuan River water — that is, the Primordial Heavy Water — surging into a hundred-zhang Water Dragon; the dragon head reared and roared, every drop of heavy water wrapped in the annihilating power that devours all things, charging fiercely toward Lu Chen Yuan and the Tu Soil God.

Seeing this, Lu Chen Yuan swiftly urged the Tu Soil God; a giant palm struck out, vast black mud formed from the impure earth filled the sky, and within the mire countless strange patterns emerged, attempting to imprison the Xuan Water.

The instant the two collided, heaven and earth abruptly fell dead silent.

The next second, Boom—!

A huge explosion erupted, its power far surpassing all previous clashes.

The entire Tianyuan Realm trembled violently along with it, the ground cracked open, mountains and rivers shifted position.

The Primordial Heavy Water and the Tu Soil power mutually corroded; wherever the Xuan Water passed, the Tu Soil thinned layer by layer, and the sizzling corrosion sounds were incessant.

The Tu Soil power crazily infiltrated in turn, trying to assimilate the heavy water into its own nourishment.

The collision of the two was not only a contest of power, but also a head-on clash of Laws.

The "Devouring" Law of the Xuan Water and the "Corrosion" Law of the Tu Soil contended with each other, neither yielding; the ten-thousand-li Void directly cracked apart, Law Power was utterly annihilated here, and even the Dao resonance became increasingly illusory, nearly dissipating.

The cultivators below bore the brunt, suffering an unprovoked calamity.

A large number of cultivators below Nascent Soul Stage were swept by the aftershocks of the two powers; their flesh bodies were devoured by the heavy water, their Divine Souls corroded by the Tu Soil, not even a wisp of Remnant Soul remained — on the spot their Divine Souls were annihilated and they perished body and Dao.

Even Golden Core Stage powerhouses like Xuan Yan, Immortal Maiden Qingyue, and Zhao Tianxiong were shaken by this world-destroying impact until their surrounding Spiritual Light dimmed, their originally stable foundations developed cracks, and their cultivation bases plummeted sharply.

Some Nascent Soul Stage cultivators fell back to Golden Core Stage on the spot; Golden Core Stage cultivators also nearly dropped to Nascent Soul Stage; even top experts, the light of the gods dimmed by three parts.

After the impact, everyone's faces were pale, weak to the extreme.

The two sides clashed for a long time, yet still could not determine a victor.

Relying on the advantage of the Primordial Heavy Water, the Wu Sheng Chong Mu could contend with Lu Chen Yuan to some extent.

But Lu Chen Yuan already possessed the profound cultivation of a Refining Void peak, and on top of that the Tu Soil God's origin power bolstered him; in a short time it was difficult for either side to win.

What was alarming was that the Hundred Dragons Patrol in the depths of the Star Sky had already closed in on the Tianyuan Realm; the Cosmic Tide of Dragon Qi enveloped them, and even the Star Sky trembled.

Lu Chen Yuan glanced at the approaching Hundred Dragons Patrol, then at the still-resisting Wu Sheng Chong Mu, and the corner of his mouth curled into a trace of insane laughter: "All of you, come cross the tribulation together with this seat!"

As his words fell, the aura around him surged violently; the light of the dragon pearl in his palm reached its zenith, then he fiercely slapped it atop the Tu Soil God's head; in an instant, terrifying Tribulation Clouds swept in, covering a thousand li in all directions, an extremely dense tribulation might pressing until space tore inch by inch.

"Three Elements Tribulation!"

"Forcing a breakthrough?"

"Damn it, we're all enveloped!"

Seeing this scene, everyone's expressions turned ugly to the extreme.

The calamity Lu Chen Yuan faces is called the Three Elements Tribulation, divided into three layers.

Passing one layer makes one Element.

First layer: Flesh Body Tribulation.

Within a thousand li, it becomes a boundless purgatory, burning with purgatory fire that can incinerate flesh bodies.

Once passed, the flesh body becomes comparable to a Magic Treasure; defense and magical power both double.

Second layer: Divine Soul Tribulation.

Above the purgatory, negative emotions turn into Black Mist surging forth, manifesting phantom images of a lifetime's regrets.

Once passed, the Divine Soul condenses like a Glazed treasure crystal, and Divine Sense awakens the Mind-Moving Thunder Sound.

Third layer: Law Tribulation.

Law Power is forcibly extracted, turning into pitch-black Chains that bind the Three Elements — that is, flesh body, Divine Soul, and Law Power.

Once passed, Law consumption decreases by fivefold, power increases by onefold, and one can summon Law Armaments to attack others' flesh bodies, Divine Souls, and Law Power.

Passing the three tribulations is called Three Elements Returning to One, ranking as top-tier Integration Stage.

"Lu Chen Yuan has gone mad!"

"He doesn't care about the survival of the Tianyuan Realm at all, only about his own realm!"

"The Three Elements Tribulation is already extremely perilous, yet he forcibly crosses it by borrowing the Tu Soil God's power; if this mad act succeeds, the entire Tianyuan Realm will be destroyed!"

"Absolutely cannot let him succeed!"

"Everyone, activate the great killing weapons, join forces to stop him!"

As the words fell, the Three Great Immortal Sects moved first; their sect-guarding great killing weapons emerged.

The Dongting Immortal Sect's Jingyuan Mountain Yu was originally a top-tier great killing weapon that counters Tu Soil power, but the controller, Sect Master Chao Jin, did not appear, so such a killing weapon could not be activated.

Xuan Yan had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and summon Xingqiong Hall.

Xingqiong Hall perfectly resonated with his Zhou Tian Star Ancestor God; starlight around him surged violently, the hall gates opened, and countless law powers concerning the stars gushed out, forcibly restoring his strength.

The Zhenyue Chariot of the Longhu Immortal Sect can move mountains and strip ridges; it is a supreme killer specifically countering earth-element forces.

Zhao Tianxiong leaped onto the Zhenyue Chariot; the horse shaft rose, countless mountain phantoms emerged, and smashed toward the Tu Soil God's ten-thousand-zhang body, attempting to shake the foundation of this Tai Gu Shen Zhu.

The Liu Shuang Fang of the Yao Yue Immortal Sect flowed with clear, cold moonlight all around its hull.

Immortal Maiden Qing Yue stepped into the Liu Shuang Fang; the vessel instantly emitted boundless frost, which then transformed into a long river of frost and snow, stretching toward the purgatory, attempting to suppress the body-burning fire with cold Qi.

The Three Great Immortal Sects' supreme killers, plus the Tianji Compass of Tianji Pavilion, the World Tree of Qingmu Sect, the Nine-Layer Divine Furnace of Danding Sect, and many other Supreme Treasures, as well as the experts of all major forces, all attacked with full force at this moment.

Countless spells, divine abilities, and magic treasures intertwined into a vast cosmic tide, sweeping toward Lu Chen Yuan and the Tu Soil God.

The Wu Sheng Chong Mu also took the opportunity to drive the Primordial Heavy Water, transforming into a pitch-black Xuan Water giant serpent, its huge mouth agape, joining the offensive.

For a moment, vast spiritual light erupted across the sky; the roar of spells was incessant, the momentum incomparably grand, as if it would overturn the Entire Tianyuan Realm.

But Lu Chen Yuan had schemed for Two Thousand Years — how could he be stopped by everyone joining forces?

Roar—!

Instantly, the Tu Soil God let out a deafening roar; Impure Earth Power surged tenfold, not only blocking the Majority of attacks but also beginning to frantically absorb the Earth Pulse Power of Dongyu.

The land of Dongyu began to crack; the Earth Pulse origin was forcibly extracted by the Tu Soil God, turning into countless Tu Soil mud slurry, converging into the purgatory, causing the body-burning fire to burn even more fiercely.

Not only that, the Earth Pulse Power of the other four domains of Tianyuan Realm also gathered toward Dongyu, all absorbed by the Tu Soil God; the thousand-li purgatory rapidly expanded, transforming into a boundless Zai Yuan Ni Zhao, covering the Entire Dongyu, trapping all Xiuxian Zhe within!
