Primordial Era: Apprenticeship Under Laozi, I Forge Mythical Golden Elixirs

"Who are you calling taboo?" a grumpy voice sounded from behind as the words fell.

As soon as the voice finished, Duobao felt a tap on the back of his head.

Yelping in pain, Duobao turned around to see Laozi, who had somehow emerged from Taiqing Palace, also looking in the direction of Shouyang Mountain.

"Senior Uncle Laozi, aren't you worried about Luo Xuan?"

Laozi gripped his horsetail whisk tightly, revealing his inner unease.

Hearing Duobao's words, Laozi let out a soft snort. "My disciple? How could he possibly perish in a mere lightning tribulation?"

However, as he spoke, Laozi's grip on the whisk tightened.

He had made up his mind: if anything were to happen to Luo Xuan, he would risk his own life to protect his disciple within the lightning tribulation.

Although not the one destined for this tribulation, standing beside Luo Xuan, Suiren Shi and the others felt like they could barely breathe.

"Luo Xuan, your lightning tribulation is truly extraordinary," Suiren Shi didn't know what else to say.

Youchaoshi suddenly spoke up, "Luo Xuan, you cultivate the Grand Pure Dao Method, does that mean you have to undergo tribulation?"

The other two were startled by this remark and only then realized what was happening, turning to look at Luo Xuan.

Luo Xuan gave a wry smile.

He wasn't cultivating the Grand Pure Dao Method, but the Primordial Pill Body, and there shouldn't be any lightning tribulation.

This "eight-nine lightning tribulation" was likely more about divine punishment.

From the moment the tribulation clouds gathered, Luo Xuan had a growing suspicion.

This lightning tribulation wasn't just because he bloomed twelve petals and possessed exceptional talent.

Throughout the numerous tribulations of the Primordial Era, the Heavenly Dao had always exploited the world.

The fundamental reason was the limited origin of the Primordial Era, which couldn't withstand internal strife.

But he had changed the fate of the Human Race, perfected their cultivation methods, and laid a foundation for countless generations!

Luo Xuan mused that if the Primordial Era had consciousness, it would probably strike even harder.

The tribulation clouds in the sky were vast and dark, appearing to be within reach.

Lightning flashed incessantly within them, as if ready to unleash its fury at any moment.

The eight-nine lightning tribulation had reached its final stage.

Chapter 45: Even the Heavenly Dao Won't Take My Disciple's Life

Luo Xuan gazed at the tribulation clouds above, a bitter feeling rising within him.

Damn it, I've gone too far!

Those tribulation clouds were clearly no ordinary sight.

Luo Xuan felt as though he had lifted a rock only to drop it on his own foot.

Luo Xuan's first instinct was to flee, to get as far away as possible.

But this lightning tribulation was targeting him, and whether he could escape remained to be seen.

He looked at the Three Ancestors beside him, each wielding their merit-based spiritual treasures, and then at the Human Race on Shouyang Mountain, their faces etched with worry.

If he truly ran, this fierce lightning tribulation would descend upon Shouyang Mountain.

Luo Xuan couldn't bear to imagine the consequences.

"If I die, I die! If you want to kill me, first see if you have the ability!"

Luo Xuan's eyes hardened, and his body transformed into a beam of light, soaring upwards.

"Rumble!"

The lightning brewing in the sky seemed to have found Luo Xuan amidst the crowd.

Nine bolts of lightning struck down in an instant, carrying immense heavenly might.

Suiren Shi, surrounded by Suiren Fire, trembled as he watched the lightning descend.

"Right from the start, this tribulation lightning is even more powerful than the final strike of my own tribulation!"

As everyone knew, tribulation lightning grew stronger towards the end.

Seeing that the tribulation clouds had barely diminished despite the falling lightning, Suiren Shi couldn't help but sweat for Luo Xuan.

However, when the nine bolts of lightning struck Luo Xuan, they merely reduced his clothes to tatters, revealing his leopard-like physique.

He was not harmed in the slightest.

Luo Xuan smiled faintly.

"Is that all?"

But the lightning tribulation was not over yet.

Another nine bolts of lightning struck down ferociously.

This wave of tribulation lightning didn't seem as powerful as the previous one.

However, these nine bolts of lightning combined, churned with pure, turbid qi.

The lightning, carrying the turbid qi, struck Luo Xuan. Luo Xuan seemed to see the bustling mortal world.

Tall buildings, busy streets.

But this only caused Luo Xuan to falter for a moment before he instantly broke free from the illusion of his past life.

As soon as he regained his senses, the third wave of lightning struck.

At this moment, a torrential rain began to fall under the dark clouds, and the nine bolts of lightning writhed along with it.

With the wind and rain, the lightning seemed to faintly transform into a giant dragon.

The thunder sounded like the roar of a giant dragon, heading towards Luo Xuan.

Luo Xuan let out a cold laugh and punched towards the dragon-like lightning, instantly scattering it.

Youchaoshi, hiding in her stone house, looked at Luo Xuan with concern, "Will Luo Xuan be alright?"

Suiren Shi and Ziyi Clan stared at Luo Xuan, silent.

The other humans were stunned; they had never witnessed such a spectacle.

Zhu Rong instinctively licked his lips, "I'm getting more and more interested in Luo Xuan."

Unbeknownst to the other Ancestor Witches, the great powers in the Primordial Era were scanning back and forth between them and Luo Xuan.

"What a powerful physical body!" someone exclaimed.

To withstand three waves of lightning tribulation consecutively and remain unharmed truly astonished these great powers.

The Eight-Nine Lightning Tribulation, the first five waves are Heavenly Lightning, Earth Lightning, Water Lightning, Divine Lightning, and Altar Lightning.

Each wave is not to be underestimated.

Luo Xuan stood looking up at the sky, tilting his head and chuckling, "Is that all?"

Luo Xuan's words seemed to enrage the lightning tribulation in the sky.

As wind and clouds surged, Luo Xuan saw the lightning within the tribulation clouds transform into palaces and towers.

A divine being formed from lightning stood atop the clouds.

With a wave of its hand, bolts of lightning were hurled from the divine being's hand.

The fourth wave.

Divine Lightning!

One after another, a total of nine bolts of lightning.

At this moment, Luo Xuan finally felt a trace of pressure, a crisis of life and death originating from his heart.

The nine bolts of lightning, carrying divine might like a prison, struck Luo Xuan in the blink of an eye.

Luo Xuan's expression remained unchanged, his gaze fixed on the sky.

Only after the celestial palace dissipated did Luo Xuan's face turn pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The fourth wave of lightning tribulation had, after all, inflicted some damage on him.

However, the lightning tribulation clearly wouldn't give Luo Xuan any time to rest.

The fifth wave, Heavenly Lightning, followed closely.

"Heaven and Earth Manifestation!"

Luo Xuan shouted, and his body instantly grew immense, nearly half the size of Shouyang Mountain.

Around him, a mysterious, colossal tortoise shell faintly appeared.

The lightning bolts struck down one by one.

Each bolt seemed to transform into electric light that enveloped Luo Xuan.

The crackling sound was incessant.

Luo Xuan's face instantly became ferocious and contorted, as if he were enduring extreme pain.

The lightning tribulation was like a demon, inescapable!

"Disperse!"

As Immortal Power surged, the lightning was forced out of his body, and Luo Xuan's form slowly shrank.

However, Luo Xuan was now pale, and electric light could still be seen flickering and jumping on his body.

Di Jun in the Heavenly Court finally breathed a sigh of relief, a malicious smile on his face.

"I knew it, how could a mere human withstand the Eight-Nine Lightning Tribulation."

"He's already heavily injured after five waves, I'll see how you withstand the remaining three."

In Di Jun's triumphant gaze, the descent of the sixth wave of lightning tribulation was reflected.

The other great powers, while shocked, also looked at Luo Xuan with curiosity.
