Insufficient World Origin
"Boom!"
A massive bolt of lightning descended from the sky.
Upon Dragon Transformation Great Perfection, the dragon soars over the Immortal Platform, triggering a heavenly Heavenly Tribulation of terrifying proportions!
Lightning struck, engulfing the mountains in a vast, boundless ocean. The sea of lightning, terrifying beyond measure, unleashed a single bolt of lightning that effortlessly reduced a nearby rocky mountain to ashes!
"Boom!!"
The heavenly Heavenly Tribulation in the sky did not descend, but gradually solidified, its power becoming increasingly terrifying.
Finally, in Zhou Tong's eyes, the Heavenly Tribulation transformed into palaces, and a scene of an Ancient Heavenly Court began to manifest within the Heavenly Tribulation.
The magnificent palace, imposing and majestic, floated and sank amidst a terrifying sea of thunder.
"Is the so-called strongest Heavenly Tribulation just a manifestation of this past imprint? There are no other tribulations that can descend upon this world... It really is due to insufficient origin!" Zhou Tong looked at the sky and realized this.
Cultivation is a matter of defying the heavens, and Heavenly Tribulation are a kind of "punishment" from heaven and earth for cultivators who defy the heavens, so their power is naturally extremely strong. In a world with a powerful origin, the Heavenly Tribulation that descend are probably the most basic Five Elements Thunder, Yin-Yang Thunder, Chaos Lightning, and the like, because each of these thunderbolts is incomparably powerful.
However, the Heavenly Tribulation of worlds with weaker fundamental origins are likely different. Heaven and earth imprint those exceptionally talented geniuses upon them, allowing them to develop their methods; this conserves the world's resources while achieving the same effect...
"Boom!"
Just then, all sorts of divine light, endless Purple Firmament Divine Thunder, Great Evolution lightning, Five Elements Divine Thunder, nine tribulations lightning... all struck down!
This is a boiling ocean, a world of tribulations, where countless kinds of Thunder Tribulation descend upon the world at the same time, each one terrifying beyond compare.
"Thunder Emperor Treasure Technique, Refine!"
This was only the prelude, so Zhou Tong, finding it difficult to resist, directly used the Thunder Emperor Treasure Technique to transform lightning into his own power, gathering the power of lightning to temper his physical body, soul, flesh and blood, as well as the Hegemonic Bell.
He could clearly feel himself getting stronger, his physical body was getting stronger, his divine sense was getting stronger, and even the Hegemonic Bell had countless new patterns on it.
At that moment, true danger descended. In the sea of lightning in the sky, ancient buildings rose and fell, and humanoid beings emerged from magnificent palaces that resembled Ancient Heavenly Court.
"Boom!"
A humanoid creature lunged forward, with an ancient seal floating beside it, as if a god had descended to earth, mysterious and unpredictable.
"Finally here, the Humanoid Lightning... I didn't expect the first one to be the Taiyin Emperor!" Zhou Tong saw the Humanoid Lightning's aura and immediately guessed its identity.
The Humanoid Lightning was pure white, as white as jade, and incredibly holy, while the great seal was black, like the Dragon Pattern Black Gold was the exclusive sacred object of Ancient Great Emperor. It floated in the Void the Great, with thousands of strands of silk hanging down.
"Thump!!"
The bell tolls softly.
Zhou Tong directly unleashed his Hegemonic Bell, sending it to meet the Taiyin Human Emperor Seal. This was also to allow the bell to undergo tribulation and intertwine with the laws of the Great Dao. This humanoid Heavenly Tribulation could no longer absorb lightning and directly temper the Hegemonic Bell within its body; it needed to experience combat Hegemonic Bell.
"Boom!!"
The Taiyin Human Emperor Seal and the Hegemonic Bell collided continuously in the Void the Great. The Human Emperor Seal was incredibly powerful, capable of unleashing the laws of the Great Dao, continuously vibrating the Hegemonic Bell and unleashing terrifying bell waves that even dispersed much of the nearby lightning.
At the same time, the Humanoid Lightning that the Taiyin Emperor had transformed into could also unleash holy power and fight against Zhou Tong.
"Boom!!"
In an instant, divine power surged, and Zhou Tong continuously activated secret techniques to engage in a fierce battle with the Humanoid Lightning. Endless secret techniques bombarded the Humanoid Lightning relentlessly.
The Humanoid Lightning was incredibly domineering, actually withstanding Zhou Tong's attacks head-on and fighting back against him.
The Hegemonic Bell trembled, unleashing wave after wave of domineering energy, with intricate patterns spreading outwards like ripples, destroying everything in its path; the Human Emperor Seal overturned the heavens and earth with each strike, as if the world itself were being turned upside down, even suppressing the very rules of the Great Dao.
In an instant, Purple Blood flew everywhere, lightning flashed, and the scene was extremely tragic.
It is unknown how much time has passed, but suddenly, a Humanoid Lightning flew down from the Ancient Heavenly Court formed by the Heavenly Tribulation. It was a woman, and above her head, an ancient green pagoda floated, suppressing heaven and earth.
"Western Empress!!" Zhou Tong was shocked. Could it be that the illusory Great Emperor manifested by this heavenly Heavenly Tribulation were all ancient scriptures that he had cultivated before?
With the arrival of the second Great Emperor, the pressure on Zhou Tong suddenly increased dramatically.
Soon, the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh people also appeared one after another.
The third person was also a woman, with a Great Dao Treasure Bottle appearing above her head, and crystal-clear flower petals seemingly falling around her. This was the Ruthless Great Emperor.
The fourth person was a middle-aged man with a jade-green, Three-legged Round Cauldron on his head, which was exactly the same as Ye Fan's cauldron. Without a doubt, this person was Emperor Venerable.
The fifth person was also a middle-aged man, with a large cyan-gold cauldron on his head and Feather Ascension Flying Immortal ascending to heaven emanating from his body. This was the Feather Ascension Great Emperor.
Above the sixth person's head hung an Eternal Sacred Furnace, its flames flickering like a god descending to earth. This person was none other than Hengyu the Great.
The last person was an old man with a pagoda made of Profound Yellow Qi atop his head. Without a doubt, this was the Dao De Tianzun!
As the six illusory figures of Great Emperor appeared one after another, Zhou Tong's condition immediately became precarious.
Previously, when there was only the Taiyin Human Emperor, he could fight the Taiyin Human Emperor to a standstill, but now, with the appearance of the illusory figures of the Western Empress, the Ruthless Great Emperor, the Emperor Venerable, the Feather Ascension Great Emperor, the Hengyu the Great, and the Dao De Tianzun, he was immediately unable to withstand them.
In a short time, he suffered unprecedented damage. His body was almost shattered, with hundreds of bones broken, leaving him barely human. Even his purple primordial spirit was almost torn to pieces and was about to be destroyed.
"The Immortal Phoenix is immortal! Divine Form Transformation!"
Zhou Tong roared, and the scorching Immortal Phoenix Fire ignited on his body, rapidly healing him.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Tong's figure constantly changed in the Void the Great, sometimes transforming into Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, its sword energy soaring into the sky; sometimes transforming into Kirin, suppressing mountains and rivers; and sometimes transforming into True Dragon, soaring through the nine heavens.
The continuous Divine Form Transformation, along with the ever-operating Immortal Phoenix Treasure Art, finally allowed Zhou Tong to barely hold on against the siege of the seven Great Emperor.
Even the most extraordinary individual couldn't possibly fight seven young Great Emperor of the same level head-on. He could only barely hold on by relying on his various transformations and the power of the Immortal Phoenix Treasure Art.
In the end, the battle lasted for Tianyi. Zhou Tong's Hegemonic Bell was almost shattered, and his own body was covered in Purple Blood, suffering severe injuries.
"Boom!!"
With a final, deafening roar, the lightning vanished, the endless storm dissipated, and the world returned to clarity. Zhou Tong's joints moved and crackled incessantly, his entire body radiating a brilliant purple-gold brilliance.
At the same time, the Hegemonic Bell also vibrated continuously, humming and ringing, and the patterns imprinted on it intertwined like dragons, making it seem as if it had come to life.
After an unknown amount of time, the Phoenix Divine Fire on Zhou Tong's body dissipated, and he finally unleashed a burst of light that pierced through the heavens and the earth. His entire body was clear and flawless, and he was completely restored to his peak condition.
