Heavenly Tribulation's Baptism! Shocking All Directions!

Looking at the Thunder Tribulation overhead, Taishu Jing murmured, "Dragon Transformation Tribulation."

"That's right. It's the Dragon Transformation Tribulation. This is the Thunder Tribulation every Dragon-kin Fierce Beast must undergo after evolving into a True Dragon."

Taishu Yun raised his head for a glance and spoke slowly.

"Go. This is your Dragon Transformation Tribulation. Pass through the cleansing of this Dragon Transformation Tribulation, and you'll be a true True Dragon. From this day on, the seas will be wide and the skies open."

Taishu Jing shouted to it.

Aang!

It looked at Taishu Jing one last time, raised its dragon head, and shot into the sky, like a streak of white divine light. In an instant, it had arrived beneath the Thunder Tribulation, ready to receive its cleansing.

Boom!

The Thunder Tribulation began to descend. Purple lightning fell, striking its body. Dragon scales exploded apart, and its snow-white dragon body was instantly torn open, flesh split and skin flayed, pale golden dragon blood spilling out. It roared up at the heavens as boundless spiritual energy gathered toward it, its wounds recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, new dragon scales growing out.

Gazing at that snow-white dragon shadow beneath the Thunder Tribulation, Taishu Jing believed it could pass this Dragon Transformation Tribulation.

Shriek!

Little Fire descended from the sky and landed beside Taishu Yun. Looking at the dragon shadow churning in the heavens, a look of longing flashed through Little Fire's eyes as well. It could sense that the aura of that dragon shadow was stronger than its own, and even more majestic.

Though the Divine Phoenix Bloodline within Little Fire's body was dense, it had not transformed into a Divine Phoenix. If Little Fire also succeeded in transforming, then it would likewise have to undergo a Thunder Tribulation. Only after passing through the Thunder Tribulation would it be acknowledged by heaven and earth.

Rumble!

Bolts of lightning fell one after another. Its snow-white dragon body was already covered in wounds, dragon blood scattering across the sky. Even so, it felt no fear. Its golden Dragon Eyes remained bright; with every bolt of lightning it endured, its aura grew stronger by one degree.

Thunder Tribulation was destruction, but also vitality and creation.

Within the valley, the Dragon Transformation Tribulation was still continuing.

Thunder Tribulation had descended from the heavens, and the fierce beasts within ten li of the valley were all terrified and uneasy, not daring to approach the valley in the slightest. As for the fierce beasts around the valley, they all moved away one after another, afraid of being caught in the disaster.

Such a scene was not considered rare in the Cloud Dream Mountain Range.

No one knew just how many fierce beasts there were in the Cloud Dream Mountain Range. There were often some fierce beasts with extraordinary bloodlines undergoing tribulation; this was something many cultivators knew.

In general, no other fierce beasts would approach a place where a fierce beast was undergoing tribulation. For a fierce beast, undergoing tribulation was extremely dangerous. It was hard to avoid being severely wounded by the Thunder Tribulation, leaving not even one-tenth of its combat strength. At a time like that, even the tiniest influence from the outside world could cause them to fail their tribulation. In the lighter cases, they would be heavily injured and hammered to the brink of death; in the worse cases, their bodies would perish and their Dao would vanish.

Fierce beasts capable of undergoing tribulation were no ordinary fierce beasts. More or less, they had inherited the bloodlines of immemorial or ancient fierce beasts. Their Precious Blood was extremely valuable, especially their Heart Blood, which was the most precious part of a fierce beast.

Because of this, when fierce beasts underwent tribulation, many cultivators would set their sights on them. If they failed to pass the Thunder Tribulation, those cultivators could pick up the spoils. If they passed it, those cultivators could still judge the situation and choose whether to attack or retreat.

Much of the time, human cultivators were filled with malice toward fierce beasts, and the reverse was just as true.

At this moment, more than ten li away from the valley, there was a group of Dao cultivators.

The one leading them was an old man, his beard and hair both white, his face wrinkled. He looked very old, only his eyes were still bright, though somewhat sinister as well.

Behind the old man were four young people who looked to be in their twenties, three men and one woman. They wore blood-colored robes, and on the robes was embroidered the pattern of an island.

This old man and the four youths should have been an elder and disciples of some faction. Since they had come to the Cloud Dream Mountain Range, presumably it was for tempering themselves through experience.

Looking at the Tribulation Cloud in the sky, their eyes lit up.

"Grand Elder, there's a fierce beast undergoing tribulation. Why don't we go take a look? Maybe we'll gain something from it."

One disciple spoke up, a greedy look flashing across his rugged face.

"Senior Brother Zhao is right, Grand Elder. The four of us are all in the Spirit Vein Realm, and you are in the Soul Palace Realm. As long as we don't run into a Fourth-Order Fierce Beast, with you here, there won't be any danger."

The female disciple spoke. Her upturned eyes narrowed slightly, her gaze somewhat dark, as she played carelessly with her fingernails. The nails on all ten of her fingers were extremely long and painted red, looking like small blades dyed with blood.

The other two male disciples also had the look of shifty brows and rat eyes. Their beards were scruffy; one was fat, the other thin, giving off a very uncomfortable feeling.

"Haha, good. Since all of you trust this old man so much, this old man will take you to see just what kind of fierce beast is undergoing tribulation."

The Grand Elder laughed loudly and spoke with confidence. As long as it was not a Fourth-Order Fierce Beast, he could handle it.

The five of them then sped toward the valley, harboring thoughts of fishing up benefits.

At the same time.

In another direction, there was also a group of people approaching the valley.

"Elder Xu, tell me, what kind of fierce beast is undergoing tribulation?"

A soft, delicate voice rang out. A young girl had opened her mouth to ask. She wore a long pink dress, a green jade hairpin on her head, her face fair and exquisite. She looked somewhat adorable, not very tall, her whole person appearing to be only twelve or thirteen years old. She also held a long sword in her hand.

"This old man does not know."

Beside the girl, an old man dressed in white robes answered with a smile. His face was kind, and he looked at the girl with gentle affection.

"Elder Xu, since Little Junior Sister is curious, it would be good for us to take her to broaden her horizons."

One of the two youths said. This was a youth with a somewhat delicate face, a little older than the girl. There was a hint of sharpness between his brows and eyes. He wore blue robes, with a few white-cloud patterns embroidered on them.

"That's right, Elder Xu. Let's take Little Junior Sister over to have a look."

The other youth also spoke. His appearance was ordinary, but his eyes were very firm. He was likewise dressed in blue robes, and was the same age as the youth beside him.

Both youths looked as if they doted on this little junior sister very much.

Hearing the two youths' words, Elder Xu smiled in gratification.

"All right, then we'll go take a look. However, none of you are allowed to act recklessly—especially you two. If anything happens, you must protect Yu'er well."

"Don't worry, Elder Xu. We'll definitely protect our junior sister," the two youths promised.

"Thank you, senior brothers. Yu'er will protect herself too."

Their junior sister lifted the longsword in her hand and gave it a little flourish.

Looking at the three fellow disciples, Elder Xu smiled in satisfaction. Both youths were geniuses. Though only fourteen, they had already reached Greater Accomplishment in the Spirit Vein Realm and had comprehended the Dao. Perhaps before long, they would be able to condense Dao Law Runes.

As for the girl, although she was still in the Blood Bone Realm, her talent was not poor either. She already possessed a tremendous strength of seventy-two thousand jin. Perhaps she could make a push for eighty thousand jin. More importantly, her identity was not simple either...

"Then let us set out."

Elder Xu led them toward the direction of the valley.

Aside from these two groups, there were still other cultivators heading toward the valley one after another. These were all ordinary cultivators, and most of them had come with the thought of picking up scraps.

Inside the valley.

Thunder roared. Purple lightning kept crashing down, striking that white True Dragon and tearing its skin and flesh open, spilling blood across the sky. But every time, it endured, and its aura even grew stronger.

Aoo!

The white True Dragon's roar shook the clouds. Astonishing Dragon Might poured out, and the Dragon Qi on its body grew denser and denser, gradually fusing into its bloodline under the baptism of the Thunder Tribulation.

The Dragon Transformation Tribulation was already halfway over. Eighteen bolts of lightning had fallen in total, and another eighteen were still brewing within the Heavenly Tribulation. They would fall very soon.

Rumble!

The nineteenth bolt of lightning fell, its power a fraction stronger than the previous ones.

However, to it, there was no difference from the earlier lightning. After being baptized by the first eighteen bolts, its physique had already been tempered to become even stronger. The current it, even if struck by lightning, would only have a few dragon scales split open. Its flesh and blood would not be harmed.

"The remaining Thunder Tribulation can no longer pose a threat to it. Once the final bolt of lightning falls, we'll leave."

Taishu Jing looked at the white dragon shadow flickering in and out among the thunderclouds and spoke to Taishu Yun.

"We're just leaving like this?" Taishu Yun was somewhat surprised.

"What else?" Taishu Jing asked in return.

"You're not taking it with you? Then why were you so good to it?"

Taishu Yun looked at him strangely.

"What's so strange about that? I didn't help it so it would follow me. I just found it pleasing to the eye, so I helped it in passing. Besides, it's a True Dragon now. What would it follow me for? It's not like I'd give it anything tasty."

Taishu Jing rolled his eyes at his own elder brother.

Taishu Yun looked at his younger brother speechlessly. Who said it would follow you for food?

"No, don't you want it to follow you?"

"I don't!"

"Why?"

"What why? Am I that close with it?"

"That's something you should ask yourself."

"Then I'm not close with it. I haven't even known it for a full day."

"Jing, you..."

Taishu Yun had nothing to say. Why did he feel like Taishu Jing was a little rigid? He had tried appealing to reason and moving him with emotion, and none of it worked!
