Heavenly Tribulation

"That's a really quick reaction!"

Zhou Tong chuckled softly, a glint of light flashing in his eyes as he noticed some hidden Dao Pattern set up within the Source Treasury. He hadn't paid much attention to them earlier, having been in a hurry to collect the Source.

"But so what if you found me?"

Zhou Tong chuckled and casually struck the door of the Source Vault, shattering it with a crash. Zhou Tong calmly walked out of the Source Vault.

"How dare you trespass on the Ji Family Source Treasury!!"

The white-haired old man at the head glared at Zhou Tong, a terrifying light flashing in his eyes. He looked through the door and saw that the once full source vault was now completely empty, not a single grain of source remained.

"Damn it, they actually dared to rob our Ji Family."

"Since you're here, don't leave!"

The dozen or so old men beside them also revealed ferocious expressions, their killing intent boundless.

"I can come and go as I please. Can your Ji Family stop me?" Faced with such arrogance, Zhou Tong remained calm. He chuckled lightly, looking quite composed. "However, I advise you to stay away from me, or you might regret it!"

"Stop talking nonsense, capture him first, take him back for soul searching. I refuse to believe that a mere cultivator from the Four Extremities Realm would dare to attack our Ji Family!" an old man said.

"That's right, we must find out who's behind him!" another sneered.

"Sigh, why are you all so stubborn and unwilling to listen to my advice?"

"Fine, good advice is useless against damned ghosts! Come on then, I'll send you all on your way!" Zhou Tong said coldly, facing everyone forcefully with a chilling smile.

"Boom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a vast sea of lightning descended from the sky, instantly engulfing the area—a sea of Heavenly Tribulation!

At this moment, everyone was horrified. This was actually Heavenly Tribulation. The seventeen powerful figures of the Ji Family all changed their expressions drastically, and were all shocked.

Heavenly Tribulation!

It was Heavenly Tribulation!

In that instant, the sky seemed to collapse, terrifying electric snakes danced wildly, as if countless Flood Dragon were surging, and five-colored lightning descended from the sky, transforming into a vast five-colored ocean.

"Ah..."

Heart-wrenching screams rang out immediately; someone had been annihilated, reduced to ashes, and forever erased from this world. It was a cultivator from the Dragon Transformation Realm near the Ji Family.

"Ah..."

Several powerful figures were also screaming in agony, their faces filled with terror. Zhou Tong was undergoing his tribulation, and they were suffering the same fate!

They dared not stay here any longer. If seventeen powerful beings were to suffer the same calamity, the combined Heavenly Tribulation of them would mean certain death.

In an instant, the seventeen powerful figures retreated simultaneously, each leaving the Ji Family's mine swiftly with a cloud of tribulation around them.

"You ran pretty fast, but I wonder if you'll still have the strength after the Heavenly Tribulation!" Zhou Tong looked at the powerful figures who had fled, then chuckled. He didn't continue the pursuit, but instead focused on his own Great Dragon Tribulation.

"Ruthless Person, actually inviting the Heavenly Tribulation!!" The Ji Family cultivators in the distance were all seething with hatred.

"Stay away from the Heavenly Tribulation. We'll make our move after he's weakened from the tribulation!" The other half-step Great Powers and Dragon Transformation Realm elders all spoke up and quickly retreated.

"That's too cruel, I don't want to die, ah..."

"Ah!! Why is the Heavenly Tribulation of the Dragon Transformation so strong? Even I, the seventh transformation Dragon Transformation, couldn't withstand it!"

Screams could be heard intermittently.

Even as they retreated, people continued to be robbed and killed by lightning.

All the cultivators of the Ji Family left where Zhou Tong was, retreating from the range of the Heavenly Tribulation tribulation, and then looked towards the center; everyone's eyes were filled with intense hatred and a trace of fear...

At this moment, the area was completely engulfed by countless bolts of lightning, making it invisible to the outside world.

The world was a vast expanse of white, thunder roared deafeningly, lightning bolts danced wildly, and sparks of electricity were everywhere, like a boundless ocean, with an extremely magnificent and awe-inspiring spectacle.

"Click!"

The Great Dragon stretched across the sky, not just one, but thousands upon thousands, each bolt of lightning as thick as a mountain range, dancing wildly in the Void the Great, no different from the Great Dragon.

At this moment, Zhou Tong sat cross-legged in the Void the Great, submerged in a sea of electricity. While circulating the Thunder Emperor Method to absorb the Heavenly Tribulation, he continuously comprehended the Dao traces contained within the Heavenly Tribulation.

In fact, this was merely the prelude to the Heavenly Tribulation, and it had no effect on Zhou Tong whatsoever. Therefore, he had ample time to comprehend the Dao and to understand the laws contained within the Heavenly Tribulation.

"Thump!"

Within Zhou Tong's lower abdomen, at the location of his Wheel Sea, a bell tolled. The Heavenly Tribulation that Zhou Tong had swallowed contained countless Dao traces, which were immediately imprinted upon it. This made his Hegemonic Bell shine even brighter, and the bell tolled continuously, the sound waves constantly penetrating Zhou Tong's physical body and soul.

The bell tolls gently, its sound grand, harmonious, and profound, touching the soul like the resounding of a great bell.

The bell sounds were formed from the Dao imprints within the Heavenly Tribulation, and also contained the most fundamental Dao of heaven and earth. After being transformed by the Hegemonic Bell, they were easier to absorb and comprehend.

At the same time, within his Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings, the Bodhi Tree also bestowed streams of Daoist energy, making Zhou Tong's consciousness even clearer and enhancing his enlightenment.

The Great Dao within the Heavenly Tribulation was absorbed, and even the Heavenly Tribulation itself was transformed into the purest essence under the Thunder Emperor Method, replenishing Zhou Tong's body and becoming his nourishment for breaking through to the Dragon Transformation Realm.

Gradually, Zhou Tong's back, like a divine dragon, continuously emitted vast amounts of vital energy. His vertebrae seemed to be transforming into a True Dragon about to fly out, a sign of his Dragon Transformation.

The Dragon Transformation Realm, as its name suggests, nurtures the human spine into a Great Dragon Tongtian. This realm is also one of the most crucial realms within the human body, as the power of the three great realms— the Sea of Wheels Realm, the Dao Palace Realm, and the Four Extremities Realm— requires the Dragon Transformation Realm for integration.

Therefore, the more powerful the Dragon Transformation Realm, the more terrifying the attacks from cultivators will be!

"Aww!!"

A dragon's roar resounded, and crackling sounds echoed within Zhou Tong's body. His entire spine seemed to transform into a purple dragon, with every joint moving as if Savage Dragon were reviving.

"It's finally about to begin, the true Dragon Transformation Heavenly Tribulation!"

At this moment, Zhou Tong, who was sitting cross-legged in the Void the Great, finally opened his eyes. His bright eyes were like two Sword One pierced the sky, and the sea of lightning was broken open, revealing what was behind it.

"Hold head high!!"

The dragon's roar was endless, and eighty-one celestial dragons could be seen circling continuously in the sky.

This Heavenly Dragon was not merely similar to a Heavenly Dragon; it was almost a real Heavenly Dragon, seemingly possessing true life, emitting bursts of dragon roars as it pounced directly at Zhou Tong.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...

Almost instantly, Zhou Tong rushed forward and fought against the eighty-one celestial dragons. But in a moment, Purple Blood began to flow from his body, and he was injured.

But in the blink of an eye, accompanied by a Phoenix Cry and flames, his injuries were healed.

This is the Great Dragon Tribulation.

This is a tribulation that only the most powerful cultivators can undergo in the Dragon Transformation Realm.

In the sky, eighty-one celestial dragons, lifelike and vivid, coiled in the Void the Great. Each dragon scale was as dazzling as Immortal Metal. All the dragon heads faced him, as if they had existed since time immemorial, exuding a mysterious aura.

"Eighty-one Heavenly Dragons, I wonder what would happen if I destroyed them, what benefits I would gain! It seems that no one in history has ever been able to do it, they have only ever withstood the Heavenly Tribulation..." Zhou Tong was eager to try, he couldn't wait to unleash his strongest combat power.

A battle against the strongest Heavenly Tribulation recorded in history!
