Nine-Colored Lightning Tribulation

The Dragon Pearl is the source of a dragon's power, but for a Tier 2 god like the Wind Dragon King, he did not place much importance on it.

An extremely powerful physical body instead became a burden that prevented the Wind Dragon King from resurrecting.

Xiao Xiao's current task was to refine the Wind Dragon King's Dragon Pearl.

As the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, Tiantou City was the most prosperous and magnificent city in the northern part of the continent.

Its walls towered into the clouds, cast entirely from obsidian, and were guarded and patrolled by legions of soul masters year-round.

The city was filled with rows of commercial shops, and a constant stream of merchants and travelers flowed through, exuding an atmosphere of peak prosperity everywhere.

Xue Yuheng and Xiao Xiao had not expected that upon exiting the Wind Dragon King's semi-plane, they would appear in the sky above Tiantou City, tens of thousands of miles away from Dragon Suppression Cliff.

Naturally, the two did not choose to enter the city. As soon as Xiao Xiao made contact with the natural energy of heaven and earth, the cloudless sky instantly changed color.

The mountain range to the east of Tiantou City was where the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect was located, and the two decided to use this place to undergo their tribulation.

"Little Xue, what if we destroy the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect?

As the continent's number one financial giant, even if they sold both of us, we wouldn't be able to pay for the damages," Xiao Xiao asked, puzzled.

"Don't worry, I have already thought of how to repay them," Xue Yuheng said.

The Nine Treasures Glazed Sect—Xue Yuheng was determined to bring them under his command, and this "visit" was his deliberate way of flexing his muscles.

Xiao Xiao was half-convinced; surely the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect wouldn't refuse a future Limit Douluo, right?

Dark, heavy thunderclouds drifted above their heads like a persistent curse, firmly locking onto their auras and following their every movement without leaving an inch.

Xue Yuheng took Xiao Xiao and accelerated the Motorcycle Soul Guidance Vehicle; it took only one second to go from zero to one hundred, and in a flash, they broke through the horizon, heading straight for the Nine Treasures Mountain Range in the east.

The moment the two stepped into the territory of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, the sect's early-warning soul guidance devices were instantly triggered, and the sound of the alarm echoed throughout the entire mountain gate.

At the same time, inside the Tiantou City imperial palace, chaos erupted due to this sudden anomaly in heaven and earth.

With the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament about to begin, the Astrology Institute had long ago predicted clear skies and no rain for the next half-month.

Such thunderclouds, which blotted out the sun and sky, alarmed the highest levels of the imperial family.

Princess Weina of the Heaven Dou Empire stood on the highest stargazing platform of the palace, looking at the surging thunderclouds to the east. Her beautiful eyes were filled with gravity as she raised her hand to summon her accompanying soul masters, ordering a thorough investigation into the source of the anomaly.

On a certain peak of the Nine Treasures Mountain Range.

Xiao Xiao sat cross-legged on a giant rock at the summit and slowly closed her eyes.

The Dragon Pearl, containing the lifelong essence of the Wind Dragon King, hovered in front of her, glowing with a warm, cyan light.

Xue Yuheng stood by her side, the Wordless Heavenly Book floating in mid-air. The Power of Creation descended, firmly protecting the two within it, guiding the original power of the Dragon Pearl to slowly merge into Xiao Xiao's body.

The thunderclouds gathered, growing thicker and thicker, almost shrouding the entire Nine Treasures Mountain Range. Nine-colored, variegated lightning surged crazily within the clouds.

Deafening thunderclaps resonated through heaven and earth, and even the surrounding air began to ripple with waves of heat.

Such a terrifying celestial phenomenon instantly alarmed the high-ranking members of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect. The sect's two Guardian Douluos were dispatched, leading the sect disciples to surround the foot of the mountain.

The Guardian Douluo of the Tiantou imperial family followed closely behind.

Princess Weina, Ning Tian, and Wu Feng, along with a group of Nine Treasures Glazed Sect members and imperial family members, landed on a lower mountain peak not far away, looking from afar at the two figures at the center of the lightning tribulation.

"The momentum of this lightning tribulation is simply too terrifying," Wu Feng said, clenching her fists tightly as she watched the surging thunderclouds, her voice filled with disbelief. "Who exactly is undergoing a tribulation here?"

Ning Tian's gaze fixed on the two unfamiliar figures on the summit. Her brows were tightly locked as she said in a deep voice, "According to the information we have gathered, it is the Crown Prince of the Douling Empire, Xue Yuheng, and that Crown Princess, the princess of the Soul Suppressing Family, Xiao Xiao."

A complex emotion flashed in the depths of Princess Weina's eyes as she said softly, "The two of them haven't been very quiet over the past half-year. I didn't expect that after disappearing for so long, they would cause such a huge commotion the moment they appeared."

The three women discussed this in a corner of the crowd; they had known each other for a long time, while the busy crowd stood in front of them.

The lightning tribulation arrived.

The first bolt of lightning crashed down. A purple-gold thunderbolt, like a giant dragon, carried the power to destroy heaven and earth as it struck straight at the two on the summit.

Xue Yuheng stepped forward, blocking Xiao Xiao. The Wordless Heavenly Book flipped open in front of him instantly, its pages dancing wildly to form a massive black hole.

The terrifying lightning tribulation, which was enough to kill a Soul Douluo in seconds, was completely swallowed by the Wordless Heavenly Book without even causing a ripple.

On the distant peak, Weina, Ning Tian, and Wu Feng all felt their hearts tremble as they watched this scene.

In their eyes, the young figure standing beneath the lightning tribulation was like a god of war descending to earth, wielding the thunder. That aura of looking down upon the world made them feel an indescribable sense of awe from the bottom of their hearts.

"Nine-Colored Lightning Tribulation! A tribulation for a soul beast over one hundred thousand years old—aren't they human?"

An exclamation erupted from the mouth of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect's Guardian Douluo. He had lived for nearly a hundred years and had only ever seen records of the Nine-Colored Lightning Tribulation in ancient texts.

The minds of all the surrounding soul masters went blank, their faces filled with extreme shock and disbelief.

They had received a message from Xue Yuheng not long ago, knowing that today was the day Xiao Xiao would undergo her tribulation, but they never expected that this tribulation would actually summon the legendary Nine-Colored Lightning Tribulation.

One had to know that this was a supreme tribulation that might not even appear when a one-hundred-thousand-year soul beast underwent its own. Now that it had fallen upon two six or seven-year-old children, how could they not be shaken to their core?

Nine bolts of lightning fell in succession, all of them swallowed and exhausted by the Wordless Heavenly Book.

The pages of the Heavenly Book slowly closed, and a line of numbers clearly appeared: five thousand two hundred points of Power of Creation, all gathered into his pocket.

However, on the summit, Xiao Xiao's condition took a sharp turn for the worse.

The original power of the Dragon Pearl was too overbearing, rampaging crazily through her meridians.

Xiao Xiao gritted her teeth, cold sweat drenching her forehead, her entire face twisted in extreme agony.

Scales of cyan dragon scales began to spread from Xiao Xiao's cheeks down her neck, and even her exposed arms were covered in cold, hard dragon scales.

If this continued, it wouldn't be long before Xiao Xiao was completely dragonified by the Dragon King origin within the Dragon Pearl, losing her sense of self entirely.

Seeing this, Xue Yuheng did not hesitate for a moment, immediately mobilizing all the Power of Creation within his body.

The majestic Power of Creation surged into Xiao Xiao's body like a tidal wave.

Using the original essence to refine the original substance, so to speak.

He simultaneously pacified the violent Dragon King origin within her and guided that power to flow through Xiao Xiao's meridians, slowly integrating it into her martial soul.

Using his own Power of Creation as a conduit, Xue Yuheng dismantled and refined the Wind Dragon King's origin bit by bit.

He stripped away the marks belonging to the dragon race and channeled the purest essence of the laws of wind and space into Xiao Xiao.

Xue Yuheng's Power of Creation was something even the Wind Dragon King could not fathom, which was the reason he felt at ease handing the Dragon Pearl over to Xiao Xiao.

Otherwise, the Wind Dragon King would have certainly fulfilled his duty as their teacher before departing.

He would have helped Xiao Xiao survive the tribulation.

The cyan light surrounding the two grew increasingly intense, the Power of Creation and the Dragon King origin intertwining until they finally formed a massive cyan cocoon, tightly enveloping them both.

Inside the cocoon, Xiao Xiao's consciousness began to blur, her entire body covered in fine cyan dragon scales, not even her hair spared.

Under the impact of the violent power, Xiao Xiao's clothes shattered inch by inch, and cyan cracks appeared on her fair skin, looking terrifyingly gruesome.

The Four Symbols Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron, hovering before Xiao Xiao, was now completely controlled by the power of the Dragon Pearl; the cauldron body shook violently, emitting bursts of deafening dragon roars, on the verge of shattering at any moment.

I do not know how much time passed before a crack finally appeared on the surface of the cyan cocoon.

Blinding cyan light erupted from the fissure, sweeping across the entire world.

After several brushes with life and death, Xiao Xiao finally withstood the impact of the Dragon King origin and completely finished the evolution of her martial soul.

The Four Symbols Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron shed its original heavy, dull appearance, its body flowing with a lustrous cyan-gold divine light, officially evolving into a god-level martial soul:

The Four Symbols Divine Dragon Cauldron!

Furthermore, Xiao Xiao's innate soul power skyrocketed, breaking through the shackles and reaching a shocking level twenty!

The cracks on the cauldron left behind by Xiao Xiao's water and fire tribulation were also completely repaired.

Goddess Transformation!

Xiao Xiao descended like the daughter of the Wind Dragon, a pair of massive cyan dragon wings sprouting from her back.

Wind Dragon King Wings, a Dragon King-level spirit bone!

Xiao Xiao slowly opened her eyes, divine light flowing around her.

In an instant, Xiao Xiao's figure shot upward, transforming from a delicate fourteen-year-old girl into a tall, nineteen-decimeter-tall goddess.

The clothes on Xiao Xiao were reshaped by the divine light into a form-fitting cyan-gold long dress, and the pair of cyan dragon wings on her back, spanning over ten meters and blotting out the sky, slowly unfurled, each wing membrane emitting a dazzling radiance under the sunlight.

The Wind Dragon King Wings—the gift from the Wind Dragon King within the Dragon Pearl—this complete Dragon King-level external spirit bone had finally merged with Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao stood suspended in the air, her dragon wings fluttering slightly, causing the surrounding wind to dance in rhythm. She stood like a dragon goddess who commanded the wind and space, looking down upon the world with unparalleled majesty.

The many Tiandou powerhouses on the small hill looked at each other in dismay.

This... you're telling me she's only seven years old?

"Prince Gan and the Princess Consort came to visit my Tiandou without even sending word, so that this old man could personally welcome you."

Du Busi of the Body Sect had arrived.

At the same time, tens of thousands of miles away, the Evil Demon Forest experienced a violent tremor, the earth shaking and mountains quaking.

"What happened?"

A man and a woman appeared quietly in the depths of the Evil Demon Forest, their auras unfathomably deep, as if even the surrounding darkness bowed before them.

Their gazes fell upon the gray-clad youth standing before them.

The youth said indifferently, "I sneezed."

"..."

A single sneeze had triggered an earthquake of nearly magnitude eight; how many powerhouses with such cultivation could be found in the entire Douluo Continent?

The man and woman did not ask further, their figures flashing and vanishing from the spot.

After they left, the gray-clad youth bowed slightly, his previously indifferent expression revealing an irrepressible excitement:

"My Lord, have you awakened?"

A gentle female voice resonated slowly within his sea of consciousness.

"It will take some time... A decent vessel was born on the continent just now, which awakened me... Find it for me."

The youth lowered his head, his tone respectful to the extreme:

"As you command."
