Mistakenly Swallowing Yin-Yang, Transformation Tribulation

Seven-Colored Divine Light?

At that moment, Kong Xuan's cultivation paused slightly, and a flicker of astonishment crossed his mind.

He remembered clearly that the Primordial Yin-Yang Qi was the foundation and innate gift of his younger brother, the Golden-Winged Great Peng.

His innate divine ability should have been the Yin-Yang Qi Bottle, or perhaps something similar, such as controlling wind and wielding lightning.

Had he... stolen his younger brother's opportunity?

On second thought, the faint hesitation in Kong Xuan's heart vanished without a trace.

"Enough."

He snorted inwardly.

"In the future, you will not even be able to protect yourself. Can you truly hold on to all those opportunities and fortunes?"

"These Primordial Yin-Yang Qi would be wasted in your hands. Better to give them to me and turn them into my foundation, so that one day, we brothers may fight for a sliver of hope!"

With that thought, Kong Xuan no longer bore any psychological burden.

He fully activated the Five Elements Chaos Return Origin Scripture, and its suction surged once more!

This time, he held nothing back.

Rumble!

The entire valley shook.

A massive seven-colored vortex formed around Kong Xuan's enormous egg.

Whether it was the Primordial Five Elements Qi, the Primordial Yin-Yang Qi, or the other wandering primordial spiritual energies within the valley, all of it was dragged into the vortex, transformed into the purest source energy, and wildly poured into his body.

After losing the protection of the Yin-Yang Qi, the Golden-Winged Great Peng's egg rapidly dimmed. Fine cracks even appeared across its shell, leaving it looking frail and nearly devoid of life.

The years drifted by, though none could say how long.

Perhaps a thousand years. Perhaps ten thousand.

To the Primordial World, it was merely the blink of an eye.

Within the egg, Kong Xuan's consciousness slowly awakened.

His cultivation had astonishingly reached the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. Just one step more, and he could attain Daluo.

His accumulation of origin had already reached its current limit.

It was time to break free from the shell!

Yet when his senses swept toward the side, he could not help but freeze.

The enormous egg belonging to the Golden-Winged Great Peng had long since lost its original spiritual radiance.

Its shell was covered in cracks, dim and lusterless. Not a trace of Yin-Yang Qi remained around it; only a dense aura of death lingered.

Its vitality had clearly been severed.

"Did I... drain him dry?"

A profoundly complex ripple stirred in Kong Xuan's Dao heart.

There was guilt, but far more than that, there was resolve.

He knew this was the bitter consequence of cultivating the Five Elements Chaos Return Origin Scripture.

This karma had been forged.

"So be it, so be it."

A sigh echoed through Kong Xuan's consciousness.

"Younger brother, you and I were originally one. Since your origin has already been completely absorbed by me and your vitality has been extinguished, what use is there in leaving behind an empty shell?"

"Better... fulfill your elder brother!"

As those words fell, Kong Xuan's will became incomparably firm.

Since he had already come this far, he might as well go all the way!

The Five Elements Chaos Return Origin Scripture roared into motion!

This time, it was no longer merely absorbing spiritual energy.

Seven-Colored Divine Light flowed across Kong Xuan's enormous egg, transforming into a vortex that devoured all things and directly engulfing that lifeless giant egg!

Crack!

The Golden-Winged Great Peng's eggshell shattered in response.

The final wisp of Yin-Yang Origin within it, along with the innate foundation and karmic fortune belonging to Yuanfeng's son, was wholly devoured by Kong Xuan and fused into his body!

Boom!!!

A force of Yin-Yang Origin Power, a thousand times greater than when he had absorbed the Yin-Yang Qi before, exploded violently within Kong Xuan's body.

The newly transformed origin of his Seven-Colored Divine Light was instantly completed and strengthened by this power.

Azure, crimson, yellow, white, black, yin, and yang!

The seven colors revolved, seeming to encompass all the myriad laws of the world!

At that very moment, the indestructible bottleneck within his cultivation shattered with a thunderous crash!

Crack!

It was as though something had split open within his body.

Above Kong Xuan's primordial spirit, a lotus flower representing essence and vitality quietly bloomed.

The first flower of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown—the Human Flower—had blossomed!

Early Daluo Golden Immortal!

An unprecedented sense of power filled Kong Xuan's entire consciousness.

He could feel that with a single thought, he could now command the Five Elements of heaven and earth and the power of yin and yang, possessing the might to destroy heaven and earth.

"So this is the Daluo Golden Immortal realm!"

Kong Xuan's heart swelled with heroic ambition.

Only now did he truly possess the foundation to stand firm in the Primordial World!

"It is time to enter the world!"

With that thought, Kong Xuan prepared to mobilize all his mana, shatter the eggshell, transform into human form, and truly descend upon the vast land of the Primordial World.

But at that very moment!

Rumble—!

A heaven-shaking peal of thunder suddenly rang out from above without warning.

The once-clear sky was instantly shrouded by endless black clouds.

A suffocatingly heavy pressure descended from the heavens, locking firmly onto the valley where Kong Xuan was located.

At the same time, a piece of information entered Kong Xuan's mind through some unseen force.

Transformation Tribulation!

Kong Xuan's consciousness tightened, filled with doubt.

"Heavenly tribulation?"

This was not right.

According to the innate inheritance memories he had received, primordial sacred beings like them, born bearing the immense fortune of heaven and earth, were acting in accordance with the natural order when they transformed and entered the world.

Not only would the Great Dao not send down tribulations, it would even bestow merit and auspicious signs to display their extraordinariness.

Why would a heavenly tribulation appear?

Kong Xuan calmed himself and carefully sensed the message from the Heavenly Dao.

After a moment, he understood.

"So that is it... the Great Dao has withdrawn, and the Heavenly Dao has taken its place."

After the Dragon-Han Cataclysm, Dao Ancestor Hongjun would soon lecture at Zixiao Palace, establishing the Profound Gate as the orthodox path. The Heavenly Dao would then completely take control of the workings of the Primordial World.

Under the rules of the Heavenly Dao, any living being, regardless of the height or depth of its innate foundation, had to undergo the test of heavenly tribulation before transforming and entering the world.

Those who passed would gain freedom.

Those who failed would perish, their cultivation and origin all returning to heaven and earth.

"A tribulation from the Heavenly Dao..."

Rather than fear, Kong Xuan's consciousness surged with soaring pride.

"In the original story, both the Golden-Winged Great Peng and I successfully transformed. Now that I have devoured his origin, innate foundation, karmic fortune, and potential, I surpass my former self by far. Why should I fear a mere heavenly tribulation!"

He was confident that with his current Daluo Golden Immortal cultivation and perfected Seven-Colored Divine Light, overcoming this Transformation Tribulation would be as easy as taking something from his pocket!

Yet in the next instant, that confidence faltered slightly.

Rumble!

The tribulation clouds above continued to gather and evolve.

One layer, two layers, three layers...

In the blink of an eye, they had stacked to nine layers!

Within the depths of the endless black clouds, violet lightning flickered, and an aura capable of destroying all things spread outward.

"Nine layers of thunderclouds... Violet Firmament Divine Thunder!"

Kong Xuan's consciousness could not help but swallow.

This was the highest-grade heavenly tribulation in the Primordial World!

His Transformation Tribulation had actually directly drawn forth the Violet Firmament Divine Thunder?

Yet this trace of alarm was quickly replaced by an even stronger surge of heroic spirit.

"Of course!"

"The stronger the heavenly tribulation, the greater my potential and the more heaven-defying my innate foundation!"

"Heavenly Dao, you fear me!"

"Today, I shall rise against this tribulation and show you what it means to be Yuanfeng's son, and what it means to be the first peacock between heaven and earth!"
