Hundred Thousand Year Heavenly Tribulation

The Star Dou Great Forest felt different today. A dull, oppressive atmosphere permeated every corner of the woods.

Layers of tribulation clouds surged from the horizon, gathering above the Lake of Life. Within the clouds, lightning snakes danced, emitting deafening peals of thunder.

Directly beneath the tribulation clouds, a five-hundred-meter-long black dragon lay coiled on the ground, watching the lightning tribulation brewing in the sky.

This was Di Lintian's hundred-thousand-year heavenly tribulation!

Every hundred thousand years, soul beasts had to endure a terrifying heavenly tribulation; those who succeeded underwent a qualitative change in strength, while those who failed perished instantly.

Facing the incredibly terrifying tribulation, Di Lintian's expression did not change in the slightest. A mere hundred-thousand-year tribulation was nothing in his eyes.

A resonant dragon roar erupted from Di Lintian's throat.

"The Master's hundred-thousand-year tribulation is countless times more terrifying than mine!"

The Dark Demon Dragon Lion spoke in a low voice.

"The more powerful a soul beast's bloodline, the stronger the tribulation it faces. You consumed Di Lintian's holy blood, and your bloodline has been sublimated, so the lightning tribulation you endured was already the strongest among hundred-thousand-year tribulations."

Di Tian explained to the Dark Demon Dragon Lion.

Bi Ji said with a solemn expression, "Lintian's lightning tribulation is no longer within the scope of a hundred-thousand-year tribulation. This is a true Beast God tribulation!"

"Then can Lintian survive it?" the Three-Eyed Golden Lion asked urgently from the side, her eyes filled with a trace of worry as she looked at Di Lintian.

For two thousand years, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had constantly pestered Di Lintian, and he was always happy to play with her, which allowed him to find a sliver of joy in the dull life of a soul beast.

"He can."

Di Tian was extremely confident in Di Lintian's strength.

At fifty thousand years old, Di Lintian's strength had already surpassed that of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast. Now, with only the tribulation standing between him and the hundred-thousand-year mark, he did not doubt for a second that Di Lintian possessed Beast God-level combat power.

As the dragon roar faded, Di Lintian's dragon body shot straight into the sky, taking the initiative to charge at the tribulation.

"Is Lintian being a bit too... arrogant?" It was the first time in all her years that Bi Ji had seen someone undergo a tribulation like this.

"Boom--!"

The tribulation clouds seemed to sense Di Lintian's provocation, and the first bolt of tribulation lightning struck him squarely on the head.

Di Lintian watched the lightning strike down at high speed, making no move to dodge, allowing it to crash into him.

Electric light flickered across his ink-black dragon scales, yet it caused him no harm at all. He shook his dragon body, scattering the residual electricity, and gave a disdainful smile: "Is that all?"

The second bolt of lightning followed immediately, twice as thick as the first!

"Roar--!"

A dragon roar that shook the heavens and earth echoed throughout the Star Dou Great Forest, causing all soul beasts in its wake to prostrate themselves on the ground.

After the roar, Di Lintian's dragon body instantly expanded, doubling in size. He shifted his direction and charged straight toward the descending second bolt of lightning.

The moment his dragon head collided with the lightning!

A terrifying energy shockwave rippled outward, but it was completely intercepted by Di Tian, causing no damage to the surrounding environment.

The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth bolts of lightning followed one after another, their power gradually increasing.

Six bolts of lightning had passed, yet none had managed to cause Di Lintian the slightest bit of harm.

The seventh bolt did not follow immediately after the sixth dissipated; instead, it condensed into a terrifying lightning snake in the air and dove toward him.

Facing the diving lightning snake, Di Lintian sensed the terrifying power of thunder within it and no longer dared to be arrogant. Chains emerged from the void, rapidly coiling around the lightning snake.

The lightning snake lacked intelligence and only knew how to strike straight at Di Lintian. The chains easily bound it, and the next moment, a massive dragon tail whipped against the lightning snake.

A sizzling sound mixed with the smell of something burning came from the dragon tail. Di Lintian lifted his tail to look, and it was emitting wisps of white smoke.

"If this had landed on me, wouldn't I have turned into a roasted dragon?"

Di Lintian's dragon body shuddered in fright. Facing the still-brewing tribulation, his gaze became even more solemn, and he focused with all his might.

The eighth bolt of lightning condensed into a lightning tiger!

Massive lightning wings spread behind it, and sharp fangs were bared. A tiger roar erupted from its throat as it pounced toward Di Lintian.

Darkness, light, annihilation, space, water, fire, earth, and wind—eight elements condensed in Di Lintian's mouth. He slowly opened his jaws, and in an instant, an eight-colored dragon breath erupted.

The lightning tiger's four claws shattered the void, its lightning wings flapping as it carried the power to destroy everything, colliding head-on with the dragon breath.

At the moment of impact, there was no deafening roar as one might imagine; instead, it was silent. Before a sound could even be made, it was already annihilated by the ultimate annihilation element.

The collision continued, and the lightning tiger's body grew dim bit by bit, gradually being pushed back in the direction it had come from.

Only a single, unwilling tiger roar remained in the world.

"The last one."

The terrifying energy condensed in the final bolt of lightning was even greater than all the previous bolts combined.

He did not sit idly by. His dragon scales grew brighter, and a faint black mist emerged to shroud his dragon body. A pitch-black Magic Orb also condensed in front of him, gradually growing in size.

A moment later, the final tribulation took shape: it was a translucent Phantom Thunder Dragon that looked somewhat similar to Di Lintian!

The Phantom Thunder Dragon was extremely faint; Di Lintian felt that a mere gust of wind could blow it away. The true final bolt of lightning was not the dragon itself, but the breath gathering in its throat.

The moment the Phantom Thunder Dragon opened its mouth, the world seemed to be muted. The churning tribulation clouds stopped, and even the Blue Silver Grass, bent by the wind, froze in mid-air.

An unprecedented, terrifying Thunder Dragon Breath erupted with the momentum to annihilate Di Lintian.

Di Lintian's eyes narrowed as the Magic Orb before him condensed to its maximum size, hurtling toward the Thunder Dragon Breath.

The moment the two collided, the Magic Orb failed to hold for even a single second before it shattered, transforming into the pitch-black Storm of Final Annihilation.

The Thunder Dragon Breath seemed to morph into an electric serpent, coiling around the storm and boring into its center; a sizzling sound rang out as electric arcs flickered across the storm's body.

The Storm of Final Annihilation was being eroded by the Thunder Dragon Breath, while simultaneously weakening the energy of the breath itself.

"Now!"

Di Lintian kept a constant watch on their state, and seeing the Storm of Final Annihilation envelop the Thunder Dragon Breath, he instantly manipulated the eight elements to fuse and expand continuously.

"BOOM—!"

A multicolored mushroom cloud rose into the air as the Storm of Final Annihilation completed its ultimate detonation.

The shockwaves of the explosion scattered, striking the Phantom Thunder Dragon hovering beneath the tribulation clouds and causing it to dissipate completely.

Having endured Di Lintian's Dragon King Annihilation, the Thunder Dragon Breath had dimmed, yet it showed no signs of vanishing, instead changing direction to shoot straight at him once more.

Facing the Thunder Dragon Breath at such close range, Di Lintian had no time left and could only rely on his formidable physical body to withstand it head-on.

Fortunately, he was not entirely unprepared; his translucent dragon scales and the surrounding black mist were all means he had employed to resist the lightning tribulation.

Below, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion saw this and quickly covered her eyes with her two small paws, not daring to look directly.

Di Tian and Bi Ji both revealed smiles of certainty; with their cultivation, they could naturally see that the remaining power of this dragon breath was insufficient to kill Di Lintian.
