Ninth-Nine Golden Immortal Transformation Tribulation

"Stand down!" At that moment, Mu Jizi's majestic consciousness spread forth, carrying an irresistible authority. In an instant, the ancient colossal beasts that had been glaring like tigers watching their prey gave several low growls upon hearing his words, then dragged their massive bodies unwillingly toward the depths of the sea!

A great battle was thus effortlessly dissolved by Mu Jizi!

Only now did Mu Jizi truly begin to value his own strength. Though in the prehistoric world of later generations, Golden Immortals would be everywhere, it had only been a little over three thousand years since the world was opened. Apart from those truly favored by fate, no one's cultivation could surpass his at this time!

Even Patriarch Kunpeng, a renowned great deity of later ages, had only reached the peak of the Golden Immortal realm. That was because Mu Jizi had taught him the method of cultivation; otherwise, his cultivation would have reached no more than the early Golden Immortal realm!

After all, Mu Jizi had gained intelligence at the very beginning of creation. He possessed an orthodox cultivation method and was also an innate spirit of vegetation. With all these advantages, if he still could not stand ahead of the great deities of the prehistoric world, he might as well find a block of tofu and smash himself to death against it!

"Worthy brother!" Mu Jizi murmured. His divine sense swept over Kunpeng as he said, "Take these fruits!"

As he spoke, Mu Jizi shook his true body. The nine fruits on his branches, each gleaming with dazzling dark-green light, were shaken loose!

"Caw~~~~"

Kunpeng let out a cry of boundless excitement. Then he opened his mouth wide and took a fierce inhale. Before the nine fruits could even fall, they flew into his mouth with a whoosh. After several chews, he swallowed them into his belly!

A strange fragrance immediately spread through the air. Kunpeng felt the fruits flow slowly through his stomach like cool streams, then surge straight upward into his sea of consciousness!

"Buzz~~~~~"

His mind swayed, and Kunpeng became dazed. His entire body seemed to enter an indescribable state. He did not know how long it lasted—perhaps hundreds of millions of years, perhaps only an instant.

With a boom, his mind exploded. At that instant, wave after wave of enlightenment flooded his heart. It was as though the Dao stood right before his eyes, within reach of his hand—mysterious beyond mystery!

"Rumble~~~~"

Just then, thunder suddenly exploded in the sky. In an instant, dark clouds spread everywhere, and heaven and earth changed color!

The dark clouds drifted across the void, stretching for tens of thousands of miles and giving off an unfathomable feeling. Deep within them came crackling flashes and rolling thunder. A pressure suddenly descended, as if the sky itself were about to collapse!

The dark clouds flickered and transformed into two Yin-Yang eyes. A thread of red light emerged from the line dividing Yin and Yang, and the two eyes slowly turned, like a pair of pupils radiating cold, indifferent light!

"Transformation Tribulation!"

Watching the scene through his divine sense, Mu Jizi cried out in astonishment!

"This... this is the Ninth-Nine Golden Immortal Transformation Tribulation. Only creatures whose cultivation has reached Golden Immortal or above can trigger it when transforming into human form!" Mu Jizi's pupils suddenly contracted. "Could it be that Kunpeng swallowed the fruits from my true body and broke through his realm, transforming at once?"

Within his divine sense, Kunpeng's gaze was unfocused, as though he were comprehending something. At that moment, the tribulation clouds in the void underwent another change. The Yin-Yang eyes spun faster and faster until they abruptly vanished into the clouds. In the next instant, an enormous vortex appeared in the sky.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~~~~"

The gale howled, and the innate spiritual energy ran wild. All the innate spiritual energy within a radius of ten thousand miles gathered toward the void. The vast flow of innate spiritual energy made one feel immortal power surging through one's body with every deep breath.

The innate spiritual energy continued to compress and condense.

This was precisely the sign of a heavenly tribulation's arrival—condensing the tribulation clouds.

A huge vortex hung in the center of the sky. Bolts of lightning like electric serpents appeared in the dim heavens, one after another being swallowed by the vortex. In only a short while, the vortex ceased turning and became an enormous purple tribulation cloud. Flickering electric serpents. Everything heralded the arrival of the heavenly tribulation.

Suddenly, clusters of white clouds appeared. Lightning shot in all directions within them, sparks flashed wildly, and sizzling sounds rang out. The clouds frantically absorbed innate spiritual energy, their color gradually deepening until, in mere moments, they turned red.

"Rumble!"

A deafening thunderclap suddenly rang out. The violent innate spiritual energy was all poured into the red tribulation clouds, yet the red clouds showed no change. Then, with a sudden contraction, they shrank by half, while their color turned purple.

The pressure radiated by the purple heavenly tribulation was several times greater than that of an ordinary Ninth-Nine Golden Immortal heavenly tribulation! The overwhelming pressure even crushed the void until it hummed!

By now, Kunpeng had awakened from his insight. He stared motionlessly at the changing tribulation clouds in the sky, his eyes carrying an indescribable calmness.

"Big brother! I've implicated you this time!" At that moment, a transmitted thought entered Mu Jizi's mind!

"It's nothing. You did not know this change would happen." Mu Jizi's gaze remained calm upon the nanmu tree trunk. "My cultivation has also reached a critical point. Without you triggering the heavenly tribulation, I do not know when this elder brother of yours would have been able to trigger it himself!"

"But..."

"There are no buts!" Mu Jizi cut off Kunpeng's next words and said directly, "With the cultivation of us two brothers, they are merely two small heavenly tribulations. How could we possibly fail to overcome them?"

As those words left his mouth, bold spirit surged forth. Even Kunpeng could not help being swept up by that momentum.

"Good! Well said, big brother!" In a burst of excitement, Kunpeng raised his head and roared toward the sky, seemingly exhilarated beyond measure!

Crack!

At that moment, as a bolt of lightning split down from the black clouds, tens of millions of electric serpents simultaneously blasted across the area within a radius of ten thousand miles. Facing the countless bolts of lightning, Kunpeng threw back his head and roared, utterly unconcerned.

Indeed, these flashes were merely the lingering might produced by the lightning tribulation. Naturally, they could not harm him in the slightest!

Crackle, crackle. Lightning flashed and thunder roared. The purple tribulation cloud in the void resembled a bottomless black hole, madly absorbing the primordial energy of heaven and earth. The lightning within the tribulation cloud grew brighter and thicker by the moment. This continued for half a shichen before the purple tribulation cloud suddenly shuddered, its color turning violet-black. At this point, the tribulation lightning had evolved to its utmost limit!

At this very moment, both Kunpeng and Mu Jizi knew that the Transformation Tribulation was about to descend!

The tribulation clouds rolled, and low thunder sounded one after another. A terrifying pressure directly blanketed the world below!

The branches of the nanmu tree moved without wind, leaves drifting down one after another, carrying a charm all their own!

"Rumble~~~~~"

A bolt of purple lightning shot down from the high sky. The tribulation lightning was as thick as a flood dragon, winding for a thousand miles as it savagely struck down upon Kunpeng and the nanmu tree!

"Big brother, let me test the power of this first tribulation lightning!"

With a roar, Kunpeng's eyes flashed like lightning. He opened his mouth, exhaled and inhaled, and with a thought, the demonic power throughout his body surged. He shot upward. As the lightning tribulation descended, not only did he not retreat—he charged straight toward it!

"Rumble~~~"

The tribulation lightning seemed to have been enraged by Kunpeng's action. Its color changed from violet-black to pitch-black, thick as a savage beast and flecked with points of purple flame like adornments upon a black curtain. Shaking its head and wagging its tail, it struck down with terrifying force...
