First Tribulation, Primal Skyfire

Thunder roared in the sky, and lightning, transformed into a dragon, churned in the dark clouds. Its cold scales reflected a chilling light, and its long, powerful body moved back and forth among the clouds, its limbs occasionally slashing and tearing through space.

The dragon's eyes flashed with cold light as it looked down at the two fighting below, its immense pressure instantly crushing Qian Daoliu's attack.

Sisi surprise seemed to flash across the face of the Angel God Statue behind them, followed by a painful contortion.

Under the tribulation of lightning, all beings are equal. Even if you are a god, you still need to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation in order to continue to advance. Moreover, this tribulation is like Divine Punishment. Everyone in it is equal, regardless of whether they are undergoing the tribulation or not.

Thunder roared, its power overwhelming, determined to shatter everything beneath it.

Divine Punishment, as its name suggests, is the punishment that Heaven bestows upon things that should not exist. Fu Hua's Nine Layered Waves has exceeded the laws of this world, so Heaven does not allow it.

When Divine Punishment descends, all things perish.

This is a calamity with no chance of survival; it is a fate that Heaven will never allow to exist.

Nine streaks of colorful light flashed across the sky, accompanied by thunderous roars, but in the blink of an eye, they transformed into a fiery red, shrouding the entire world in this ominous crimson hue.

The world was shocked, Soul Beast growled in fear at the apocalyptic scene.

All the powerful figures in the Douluo Continent were alarmed, and fear arose in their hearts.

What caused this situation?

Whether they were Soul Master or Soul Beast, they all looked up at the sky, which was fiery red and seemed to have a fire phoenix soaring in it. They could faintly hear the sound of dragons and phoenixes singing together.

The sound, which should have represented good fortune, now only brought endless misfortune.

Having left Spirit City, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo Chen Xin looked back, their brows furrowed with worry.

"This continent is finally about to descend into chaos!"

Flender and the others, who rushed back to the Shrek Academy, also looked up and stared. Such a scene was unprecedented in the history of the Douluo Continent. Even thirty years ago, it was just a small thundercloud.

It's only small compared to this; the thunderclouds back then covered a radius of a thousand miles, while this one completely covered the entire continent.

"What's going on? The sky's on fire!" Ma Hongjun's chubby face was filled with astonishment.

"I don't know, but it's definitely related to Fu Hua," Ning Rongrong said.

"Why?" Oscar asked.

A woman's intuition

"Forehead!"

Oscar remained silent. The answer was powerful; he was defeated. After all, he wasn't a woman!

Dai Mubai's wicked eyes also gazed at the sky, a hint of unreadable emotion flashing in his heterochromatic eyes, but he quickly suppressed it and turned to look at Flender.

"Dean Flanders, I think it's time for me to leave too. I'll be returning to the Star Luo Empire."

Flender nodded

"That's fine. After all, that's where your roots are, and the Spirit Hall won't dare to mess with you if you stay there. What about Zhuqing?"

Flender turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing, who was silent to the side. She was also a member of the Star Luo Empire's royal family, and logically speaking, she would be the safest person to go back at this time.

At this moment, Shrek Academy may seem to be safe and sound, but there are still hidden worries.

The Spirit Hall's reckless desire to kill Fu Hua must stem from their exploitation of her weaknesses and emotional attachments.

If they use Shrek Academy to threaten Fu Hua into submission, that would be terrible. Flender has already thought it through; once he gets back, he'll first send these Little Monster away.

Find them a safe haven. As for these teachers, apart from Flender and the Master, very few of them have any feelings for Fu Hua. It's like arresting the right people.

Although the Master's Soul Power is weak, he has the name of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, so the Spirit Hall probably wouldn't dare to go too far. Besides, aren't he and Liu Erlong there too?

As for the Shrek Academy, it will remain hidden for a while, depending on the situation on the mainland.

Aside from Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing being members of the Star Luo Empire's royal family, Ning Rongrong being the daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, only Ma Hongjun and Oscar remain.

Ma Hongjun has already accepted the title bestowed by the Heaven Dou Empire, so the Spirit Hall will not act recklessly. As for Oscar, it seems he has chosen to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

In this way, they will have no worries whatsoever.

Tang San and Xiao Wu need no worries; with Haotian Douluo Tang Hao there, they'll be fine.

In this way, the Shrek Seven Devils instantly dispersed and scattered to all corners of the continent, making it difficult for the Spirit Hall to cause them any further trouble.

"I will also return to the Star Luo Empire."

"Alright, now we can have no worries, and Fu Hua should be able to go all out."

Flender gazed at the sky, its fiery red color filled with an ominous aura. All they could do at that moment was pray that Fu Hua was alright.

Inside the Star Dou Great Forest, Tang Hao, Tang San, and Xiao Wu stopped and also saw the changes in the sky. While they were surprised, they couldn't help but wonder who could have caused such a sight.

Just as Tang San and Xiao Wu were sighing and gazing at the sky, Tang Hao suddenly spoke.

"I don't need to say more, I'm sure you, Xiao San, understand why I asked Xiao Wu to come with us!"

Tang Hao's gaze was sharp, but it softened suddenly when he looked at Tang San, revealing endless care for him.

Tang San remained silent, but he refused to believe the thought in his heart, because that would mean they would be separated, and how long would it be before they met again?

"Xiao Wu, your identity is not suitable for survival in the human world. If it weren't for that flower, you would have been exposed in the Pope's Palace."

Xiao Wu was startled, her gaze suddenly turning to Tang San. In those silent eyes, she saw sadness, Sisi bitter smile touched her lips.

"When... did you find out?"

"After I took the Gazing Through Autumn Waters, my pupil technique changed, so... but I know, you are my sister, my beloved Xiao Wu. No matter what you are, you are the woman I, Tang San, love most."

Xiao Wu remained silent.

Tang Hao is right. With her current strength, it is very dangerous for her to stay in the human world. If it weren't for that flower, she would have been discovered long ago. But I didn't expect that Tang San already knew her identity, yet he still treated her the same.

The words, "They are all the women I, Tang San, love most," sent shivers down her spine. She desperately wanted to stay, no matter what, but she couldn't, she couldn't.

Because she didn't want to see Tang San get hurt because of her.

"Sorry"

After saying this, Xiao Wu resolutely ran into the forest.

"Xiao Wu— "

Tang San tried to give chase, but Tang Hao grabbed his wrist.

What's the point of chasing after him?

"But..."

"Can you protect her? With your abilities, can you keep her safe?"

"..."

"A brief separation is only for a better reunion. When you have the strength to fear no one, who can stop you?"

"I understand, Dad," Tang San said, head bowed.

The principle is simple, and he understands it, but understanding and being able to do are two different things.

"You will now undergo rigorous training. If you want to protect her, then work hard!"

"Um!"

Spirit City

In the Pope's Palace, high in the sky

The battle between Qian Daoliu and Fu Hua was interrupted by the Heavenly Tribulation that descended from the sky.

The nine-colored divine light instantly transformed into a fiery red sky, unleashing a heavy aura. It was composed of Primal Skyfire, with lightning as its shell, and filled its entire body.

A fiery dragon rolled through the clouds, bringing with it waves of intense heat.

Body and soul, both were being scorched by flames.

The sweat evaporated the moment it appeared, my lips were cracked, and even my blood felt like it was burning.

Qian Daoliu horrified

"What kind of fire is this? Why is such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation occurring here?"

With a gloomy look in her eyes, Fu Hua's armor had disappeared, seemingly unable to bear the temperature dropping from the sky, and she had fled.

At this moment, Fu Hua looked extremely disheveled. Her lips were cracked, her blood was boiling, and there seemed to be a burnt smell coming from the ends of her gray hair. Her skin looked as if it had been scalded by boiling water, with wrinkles appearing on her skin.

The blood in her body was being rapidly evaporated, and the scorching temperature coursed through her body, burning her meridians. However, perhaps because of her initial injuries, the damage caused by this temperature was not particularly severe.

It looks scary, but it's actually just a dormant volcano that occasionally pops out small flames.

It looked miserable on the surface, but was completely unharmed inside.

"It seems I still need to thank her properly, but..."

Looking up at the sky

The fire dragon did not dissipate; it continued to gather power within the clouds, ever since the first massive pillar of fire struck them.

The second, the third... the seventh, the eighth

Eight flames descended upon Fu Hua, burning away her clothes. If it weren't for the protection formed by Honkai Energy on her body, she might have been exposed.

However, even if she were to expose herself, no one here would look.

Qian Daoliu is already too busy to take care of himself.

The eight heavenly flames descended, not only on Fu Hua, but also on Qian Daoliu, who was also present and looked extremely disheveled.

His long white hair was burned black, his skin shrank to the bone, and his blood was burned. He survived the eight heavenly flames with his own strength.

But that's all there is to it.

Fire is punishment, but some see it as a form of tempering.

The high temperature of flames can instantly burn away impurities in the body, pushing the body to its limits. As the blood is burned, it becomes even more refined.

At this moment, the blood flowing in Fu Hua's blood vessels had turned into a crystal-clear red, the color of a ruby, and her originally pale face had strangely become rosy.

It's like I've become ten years younger.

Compared to Qian Daoliu, it's like heaven and earth.

Qian Daoliu was surprised, Fu Hua was puzzled at the same time.

The power that originally caused her severe injuries has now become her best protective shield. If it weren't for the surging, scorching Honkai Energy flowing through her meridians, her meridians would have been burned to the ground by the heavenly fire long ago.

The Primal Skyfire is beyond doubt.

That was a flame capable of melting everything; it could easily incinerate an entire plane in an instant.

However, the power of the heavenly fire here is less than one-thousandth of the true power of the heavenly fire; otherwise, the Douluo Continent would have ceased to exist the moment it appeared.

The ninth attack, also from the fire dragon itself, seemed to have become enraged that the previous eight attacks had failed to incinerate the two people, and it spewed flames from its nostrils.

Four claws gather strength, clouds churn and swirl.

The vast, radiating Huo Yun surged back, instantly engulfing the fire dragon's body, intensifying the burning sensation felt by Fu Hua and the other person.

Qian Daoliu let out a scream.

"Aaaaaah—damn it—"

Six Spirit Bone appeared: two arms, two legs, torso, and head.

A complete set of Spirit Bone manifested

The golden bones formed a set of golden armor, which blocked the scorching fire from the heavens, but it was still useless.

The flames penetrated his soul, scorching his spirit.

"Aaaaaaahh..."

Another scream

Qian Daoliu did not linger there any longer and turned to leave at a rapid pace.

The Heavenly Tribulation was originally aimed at Fu Hua. As long as Qian Daoliu left when the Heavenly Tribulation descended, he would be fine. Unfortunately, his greed caused him to waste all his power.

Even if he leaves now, the embers of the heavenly fire will still scorch his body.

The fire dragon in the sky did not waver in the slightest because of Qian Daoliu's departure. Its cold eyes were still fixed on Fu Hua, and the churning clouds around it dispersed, revealing its true form.

The red clouds that had obscured the sky dissipated, finally revealing its true form.

The dragon's form solidified, as if a real dragon had materialized, and it stared coldly at Fu Hua.

The situation was brewing, the temperature was rising, and the Pope's Palace had long since turned into a pool of sewage under the scorching heat.

Fu Hua raised her eyes

Heavenly fire is impossible to defend against. Even if you do defend against it, it will penetrate the body through the energy of the protection and burn your body and soul.

The eight pillars of fire at the front were like this.

Roar~

A dragon's roar resounded

A fire dragon formed from Primal Skyfire opened its massive jaws, its body swaying, and instantly descended upon Fu Hua, swallowing her whole in one gulp.

The Lie Yan began to burn, and the dual test of body and soul began.

PS: Hmph! I Fu Hua, am invincible!

PS1: Ugh! I'm depressed. Watching Hell Girl made me so upset. Human nature...
