"Boom!!!"
On the East Sea Coast, the Martial Dao Heavenly Stele suddenly shone brightly!
That was no ordinary radiance, but a pillar of Chaos Color Martial Dao Law condensed to its extreme, which fiercely shot into the sky from the two characters "Martial Arts" on the monument.
It then pierced through the Yun Xiao, ignoring the numerous void barriers, and crashed straight into the Chaos Thundercloud -shrouded Heavenly Domain Above Golden Ao Island!
Wherever the beam of light passed, even the raging Great Dao Pressure was briefly torn open.
"What?!"
Upon witnessing this scene, the Yuanshi Tianzun's pupils constricted sharply, and he cried out in a low voice!
He stared intently at the pillar of Martial Dao Law light, his face filled with disbelief and horror.
" The Martial Dao Heavenly Stele... can actually ignore the Great Dao Pressure and actively bless Xuandu?!"
This completely overturned his understanding!
The Great Dao Tribulation is a test of the Great Dao for those who Transcendence. Under its oppressive power, all laws retreat and all living beings lie dormant.
Even these Heavenly Dao Sage could only watch from afar, not daring to easily step into the range of the lightning tribulation, for fear of getting burned.
But that Martial Dao Heavenly Stele... could actually ignore the Great Dao Pressure and pour the essence of the Martial Dao Law it contained into Xuandu without reservation?!
"Wrong..."
Laozi's face was pale, his eyes swirling with a frantic purple aura, and he spoke in a hoarse voice:
"That wasn't the power of the Heavenly Stele itself... it was the resonance of the will of Myriad Myriad Human Race!"
He saw it clearly.
Beneath the Martial Dao Heavenly Stele, Myriad Myriad Human Race sat cross-legged, their Blood Qi Resonance like a tide, their will converging like the sea.
A faint crimson-gold light rose from each Human Race; it was the Blood Qi Light accumulated over a hundred years of martial arts cultivation, a manifestation of their Unbending Will.
Billions of rays of light converged, transforming into a mighty and vast Human Dao Torrent, surging into the Martial Dao Heavenly Stele.
Using this as a guide, the Heavenly Stele connected with the origin of Martial Dao Law in the darkness, thus unleashing that pillar of light of laws powerful enough to tear apart the Great Dao Pressure!
" Human Dao Resonance... Martial Dao Reversal..."
Laozi's voice was hoarse, his eyes filled with a mixture of regret and horror:
" Xuandu Establish Martial Dao and passed it on to the Human Race, thus binding itself to Myriad Myriad Human Race."
"As long as the Human Race Will endures, the Martial Dao Heavenly Stele will continuously provide him with assistance..."
"This boy... he has truly calculated to the extreme!"
Empress Nuwa's eyes shone brightly, and the Creation Divine Stone in her hand trembled incessantly, faintly resonating with the pillar of Martial Dao Law light.
She spoke softly, her voice carrying an indescribable tremor:
"Based on Human Race, with martial arts as the bridge, resonating with the Great Dao... Xuandu, the path you have forged is truly... unprecedented."
Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance, both seeing the solemnity in each other's eyes.
They originally thought that Xuandu could only rely on himself to overcome the tribulation.
But now it seems... this person had already laid out a backup plan!
With the Human Race Will resonating and the laws of the Martial Dao Heavenly Stele providing support, it's as if the entire Human Race's fortune and potential are staked on this calamity!
"If he successfully overcomes his tribulation..."
Zhunti's voice was dry.
" The Human Race Fortune will be completely bound to him, and martial arts will truly become the path to immortality for Human Race."
"At that time... the entire Great Wilderness order will be completely rewritten."
Jieyin the Buddha's name softly, his eyes filled with even deeper compassion, yet a glint of shrewdness flashed within them:
"Let's see... whether he can withstand this first tribulation."
The pillar of Martial Dao Law instantly traversed billions of miles of void, crashing headlong into the Martial Dao Divine Light that was about to collide with the nine Chaos Lightning!
"Buzz!!!"
A divine light suddenly shone brightly!
The Chaos Color grew ever deeper, and the Martial Dao Rhyme became ever more refined, with countless intricate Martial Dao Rune frantically generating, intertwining, and perfecting within them!
The divine light, which was originally no thicker than a mountain, suddenly increased several times in size!
It transformed into a Chaos Light Pillar that stretched across the heavens and earth, standing tall beneath the thunderclouds, radiating an unprecedented, supreme, and indomitable martial pressure!
"Roar!!!"
Within the pillar of light, the resonant roars of the Human Race Will could be faintly heard.
Blood Qi Like a Dragon, fighting spirit surges like a tide, Will Like a Sword!
At this moment, the Martial Dao Divine Light was no longer solely due to Xuandu's power.
Rather, it carries the Human Dao Torrent has endured a century of arduous cultivation, a century of anticipation, and a century of unyielding spirit of Myriad Human Race!
Boom!!!
Nine bolts of Chaos Lightning finally struck down fiercely!
Carrying terrifying power that Myriad Laws Shattered and annihilate the principles of martial arts, it slammed fiercely into the Martial Dao Divine Light!
"Boom!!!"
An indescribable roar instantly filled the entire Heavenly Domain!
That was the most direct collision between the Myriad Laws Lightning and the Martial Dao Divine Light!
Wherever the lightning struck, the countless tiny runes on the surface of the Martial Dao Divine Light divine light shattered inch by inch, turning into Chaos Energy Flow and dissipating.
But at the core of the divine light, the Chaos Rune condensed from the origin of Martial Dao Law and the Human Race Will remained unmoved, and instead, under the onslaught of lightning, it became even more solid!
"They held on?"
The Yuanshi Tianzun's face was ashen, and golden flames in his eyes were almost bursting forth!
He saw it clearly.
The nine Great Dao Tribulation Thunder were each powerful enough to shatter the physical body and Primordial Spirit of Peak Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal First Heaven.
However, when it struck the Martial Dao Divine Light, apart from the surface runes shattering, it failed to shake the core of the divine light in the slightest!
That Martial Dao Divine Light... it actually withstood nine Great Dao Tribulation Thunder with its Early Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal First Heaven?!
"Wrong..."
Laozi's gaze sharpened, his eyes fixed on the Chaos Rune:
"He's Borrowing Thunder to Refine Dao!"
really.
Amidst the Martial Dao Divine Light, Xuandu sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed, his expression calm and undisturbed.
He did not directly withstand the lightning, but instead used divine light as a shell and Martial Dao Rune as the core to draw all the destructive power of the nine lightning bolts into his body!
"Snap, snap!!!"
As the lightning struck his body, Xuandu's flesh and blood shattered inch by inch, and his Purple-Gold Hunyuan Blood spilled into the void, each drop burning out pitch-black holes.
But his expression remained unchanged; in fact, a slow smile even appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Purple Mansion within his body, the Martial Dao Law Origin Rune spun wildly, devouring, refining, and fusing all the surging lightning power!
The Martial Dao Patterns on the runes, which were originally somewhat blurry, became clearer and more perfect under the tempering of lightning.
The Path of Blood Qi Surging, the Method of Will Tempering, the Essence of Battle Intent Condensation, the Secret of Physical Body Breaking Limits...
All the true meanings of martial arts are undergoing a transformation towards greater perfection under the baptism of the Great Dao Dao's thunder!
" Refining Dao with Tribulation... Forging Laws with Thunder..."
The Sect Leader Tongtian stood atop Golden Ao Island, his eyes gleaming with Sword Intent, filled with satisfaction.
"Good disciple... truly impressive spirit!"
He knew that the path Xuandu was taking was destined to be difficult.
The Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin Tribulation is divided into nine levels, each more terrifying than the last.
If one stubbornly resists, even if one survives the first few tribulations, one will inevitably be exhausted and defeated later.
Only by refining one's path through tribulations Forging Laws with Thunder, being reborn amidst destruction and achieving perfection in the midst of calamity, can one find Glimmer of Hope!
Xuandu... clearly understood this principle long ago.
In his first tribulation, the Law Tribulation, he used the Martial Dao Divine Light as a shell, drawing lightning into his body to temper the Martial Dao Law and perfect his Own Dao!
Boom!!!
The nine bolts of lightning finally exhausted themselves and slowly dissipated.
Although most of the surface runes of the Martial Dao Divine Light had shattered and its light had dimmed considerably, the core Chaos Rune... became even more brilliant and perfect!
The first tribulation... is over!
"Whoa!!!"
On the East Sea Coast, Myriad Human Race simultaneously opened their eyes!
Although they could not see the specific scene, they could clearly sense that the tremor and resonance originating from the depths of their blood was slowly subsiding.
On the Martial Dao Heavenly Stele, the two characters "Martial Arts" shone brightly, and the Halo of Merit not only did not diminish but became even stronger.
"Master... he pulled through!"
Suiren Shi wept uncontrollably, his voice choked with emotion.
Youchao Shi laughed loudly, his voice echoing across the land:
"Hahaha! I knew it! Master will definitely succeed!"
Ziyi Shi's beautiful eyes were filled with tears, yet they held an unprecedented firmness:
" The Martial Dao Undying, and our master will never be forgotten!"
" Human Race... should rise!"
The roar was like a tidal wave, the Blood Qi Like a Dragon, Will Like a Sword, soaring into the sky!
And at this moment.
Golden Ao Island, the five Sage had different expressions.
The Yuanshi Tianzun's face was ashen, and the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi in his sleeve hummed and trembled, clearly indicating that his emotions were extremely agitated.
He never expected that Xuandu would actually survive the first tribulation, and even Borrowing Thunder to Refine Dao and Perfect Martial Dao!
At this rate... he might be able to overcome the next eight tribulations!
"This child... must not be allowed to live!"
Yuanshi gritted his teeth, his eyes blazing with murderous intent.
Laozi Tzu's face was also ashen, and purple energy flickered around him.
He originally thought that the Great Dao Tribulation would be enough to completely annihilate Xuandu.
But now it seems... this young man's depth of knowledge and fortune far exceed his expectations!
" The Martial Dao Law... actually possess such potential?"
Laozi felt a surge of resentment, but even more so, a sense of... powerlessness.
Xuandu has already become Zenith Heaven, and his momentum is already established. Now he is undergoing tribulation and refining his Dao. Once he succeeds, even I will probably find it difficult to suppress him.
At that time... how will the enmity between the Human Sect and the damage to the Dao Foundation be resolved?
Empress Nuwa's gaze was complex; the Creation Divine Stone in her hand remained warm, faintly resonating with the Martial Dao Divine Light.
She sighed softly:
" The Great Wilderness... is truly about to change."
Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance and secretly communicated telepathically.
"Senior brother, this child has limitless potential. If he can successfully transcend the tribulation, he will surely become a giant in the Great Wilderness in the future."
Zhunti's eyes gleamed:
"Our Western Sect... may be on friendly terms with them."
The Jieyin nodded slightly.
"Let's observe the situation and make a decision after the calamity has passed..."
