The final thunder tribulation fell, and the Heavenly Tribulation ended.

The thunderclouds began to disperse, and the Thunder Vortex began to contract, condensing into two pools no more than three feet across. The pool walls were ancient and simple, with patterns of thunder and lightning engraved upon them. Within the pools was a purple liquid tinged with faint gold, emanating boundless vitality. It was, unmistakably, Lightning Tribulation Liquid.

When One Dragon and One Phoenix saw the lightning pools, they knew this was a gift from heaven and earth after passing the Heavenly Tribulation. They rushed to the pools, opened their mouths, and sucked the entire pools of Lightning Tribulation Liquid into their mouths, not leaving a single drop.

Awooo!

Kee!

One Dragon and One Phoenix let out joyful cries. Divine light blossomed all around them; the dragon scales were snowy white and gleaming, the phoenix feathers shimmered with five colors, and not a single wound remained on their bodies. Their auras were oppressive.

Hearing the clear, resounding Dragon's Roar and Phoenix's Cry, Taishu Yun and Taishu Jing opened their eyes at the same time. Both of them were wrapped in layer upon layer of dense Dao Law Runes, radiating astonishing Dao Rhyme.

"Life and Death Yin Yang. Jing, so this is the Dao you comprehended. It's far from simple."

Taishu Yun looked at the black and white Dao Law Runes around Taishu Jing and said with a smile.

"Brother, yours is the Lightning Dao. Also, I can sense a Dao Law aura from you that's similar to mine."

Taishu Jing looked at him and said.

Taishu Yun smiled, then stretched out his left hand. Two black-and-white runes appeared in his palm. Unlike Taishu Jing's black and white runes, his white rune represented light, while the black rune represented darkness.

"The Light and Dark Dao!"

Taishu Jing was surprised. This Light and Dark Dao was extremely similar to his Dao of Life and Death and Yin Yang Dao; both were Daos of mutual generation and mutual restraint.

Taishu Yun nodded, then stretched out his right hand. A red rune appeared, carrying a dense aura of the Fire Dao.

"This is the Fire Dao. Jing, since you've comprehended the Yin Yang Dao, then you absolutely cannot ignore the Five Elements Dao. The five elements are the foundational great Dao that forms all things in heaven and earth. They generate and restrain one another, endlessly giving rise to life, and they must also connect with your Dao of Life and Death."

Taishu Jing nodded, understanding what Taishu Yun meant. The Five Elements Dao was something he absolutely had to master.

After this round of comprehension, Taishu Jing had already deepened his understanding of the Dao of Life and Death and Yin Yang Dao. Each type of Dao Law Rune had reached a thousand, enough to make many in the Dao Foundation Realm feel ashamed of their own inferiority.

However, Taishu Jing knew that his brother Taishu Yun's comprehension was not the slightest bit inferior to his. Just the newly born thunder runes alone numbered more than a thousand, even a little more than his. It was clear that his comprehension of the Light and Dark Dao and the Fire Dao was likewise not shallow, and he had condensed quite a few Dao Law Runes for them as well.

"Jing, after the Heavenly Tribulation, it looks like man-made disaster is next."

Divine light blossomed in Taishu Yun's eyes, piercing through a vast distance in an instant. Many cultivators appeared in his sight, the expressions on their faces clearly visible and filled with malice.

"Hmm?"

Divine light also blossomed in Taishu Jing's eyes, and the same scene appeared before him, making him frown.

This was the Divine Eye from the inheritance of the Divine Body, possessing the ability to pierce through falsehood. When cultivated to Greater Accomplishment, sun and moon would be born in the eyes, and a single glance could perceive the myriad Daos of heaven and earth.

He put the Starfall Bow into his Dantian. After being tempered by the Purple-Gold Thunder Tribulation, the Starfall Bow's spirituality had grown stronger by a level, and its might had definitely increased as well.

Taishu Yun also put away the Star Cloud Bell, then stood up together with Taishu Jing and walked toward the area beneath Little Fire and the others.

At this moment, Blood Soul Island's great elder Fang Tong, four disciples, and a large number of Dao cultivators had all arrived beneath the lightning pools, preparing to make their move.

Awooo!

Kee!

Little Fire and the White True Dragon flew together toward Taishu Jing and Taishu Yun, paying no attention to the Dao cultivators gathered below.

"Attack!"

Blood Soul Island's great elder Fang Tong shouted. The countless Dao cultivators behind him all offered up their Spirit Weapons one after another and attacked Little Fire and the White True Dragon. For a moment, spiritual power of every color mixed together, forming a torrent that surged toward Little Fire and the others.

Kee!

Awooo!

Dragon's Roar and Phoenix's Cry intertwined. Little Fire and the others showed not the slightest fear. Little Fire swung its wings, swatting those spiritual power attacks and Spirit Weapons away, while the White True Dragon did not dodge or avoid them at all. Its sturdy dragon scales blocked everything outside with ease.

"Keep attacking! Don't stop!"

Blood Soul Island's great elder Fang Tong shouted. The Dao cultivators behind him attacked even harder. Watching the White True Dragon refuse to dodge or evade, he gave a cold, sinister smile and shot the Dragon Piercing Cone in his hand out.

The black Dragon Piercing Cone mingled among the many attacks, shooting toward the White True Dragon. Fang Tong had been waiting for this opportunity. As long as the White True Dragon did not dodge, his Dragon Piercing Cone would definitely not miss.

"That person is so despicable."

Among Elder Xu's group, the young girl frowned. Although true dragons and Divine Phoenixes belonged to the race of fierce beasts, to a certain extent, they could also be called divine beasts. Divine beasts were favored by heaven and earth and represented auspicious omens. Yet there were actually people who wanted to hunt and kill such divine beasts, and with such despicable methods at that. It was truly contemptible.

"Sigh." Elder Xu merely sighed.

Whoosh!

The black Dragon Piercing Cone was about to strike the White True Dragon in the blink of an eye, but it was destroyed by a streak of arrow-light and exploded into fragments. The ghostly energy within it also lost the object it clung to and quickly vanished between heaven and earth.

Awooo!

The White True Dragon roared in fury. From that wisp of pitch-black ghostly energy, it had sensed an aura that made its Dragon Soul tremble. If it had not been stopped by the arrow-light, its Dragon Soul might have been damaged.

Its golden Dragon Eye fixed on the cultivators below. With a sweep of its dragon tail, it shattered all the spiritual power attacks, while those Spirit Weapons shot back one after another, piercing through the bodies of some of the Dao cultivators.

"Who was it? Who dares destroy my treasure!"

Blood Soul Island's great elder cried out in shock and anger. He had clearly been about to succeed, but at the crucial moment, someone had stopped him, ruining everything on the verge of success and making him lose a Dragon Piercing Cone for nothing. One had to know, this thing was extremely troublesome to refine.

It was not just him. The four disciples and the many Dao cultivators were also enraged. The fat meat that had nearly reached their mouths had flown away. It was too infuriating.

"What are you shouting for? What are you shouting for? You're making enough noise to kill someone!"

Taishu Jing and Taishu Yun appeared. Taishu Jing had one hand raised, digging at his ear with his pinky as he strolled over at an unhurried pace.

The moment the two young boys appeared, everyone froze a little. Since when had the Cloud Dream Mountain Range become so safe that even children could run in on their own?

"Was that attack just now yours?"

Fang Tong asked in a heavy voice, somewhat unconvinced.

"Little Fire, and you too—can you use your heads a little? You were this close to being made into dragon-meat buns. How long has it even been since you became a True Dragon, and you almost planted yourself in the gutter already. Reflect on yourselves properly, seriously."

Taishu Jing ignored Fang Tong and instead looked at Little Fire and the others with disdain.

Roar!

Cry!

One Dragon and One Phoenix cried out happily and came before Taishu Yun and Taishu Jing. A dragon body thirty feet long, and Little Fire's phoenix body twenty feet tall—the two people and two beasts looked exceedingly strange together.

"Haha, this is a blessing born from disaster for you too," Taishu Yun said with a laugh, stroking Little Fire's feathers. Little Fire also proudly lifted its wings and called a few times, saying something to him.

"You're already a True Dragon, so why are you still acting spoiled?" Taishu Jing reached out and pushed its dragon head away, leaning his own head back to keep it from rubbing against him, his face full of disdain.

At the sight of this scene, everyone was stunned.

Fang Tong and his people in particular found it even harder to believe. One Dragon and One Phoenix were actually this close to two young boys—could there be something special about them that attracted the beasts so much?

"Those two young boys are actually so intimate with this One Dragon and One Phoenix."

The girl looked at them in surprise.

"I wonder what their origins are. To be so close to this dragon and phoenix, there must be something extraordinary about them."

Elder Xu stroked his beard and nodded at leisure.

"It must have been some lucky coincidence that earned them the divine beasts' recognition. I don't believe they can have any great ability."

The somewhat delicate-looking youth said, seemingly a little unconvinced.

"On that point, I agree with Qingming."

Another youth who looked rather ordinary also spoke up. Seeing people even younger than himself actually receive the favor of divine beasts, he naturally felt somewhat unconvinced.

"Haha, it seems Qingming and Qingfeng are both a bit unconvinced. Very well, then let us see exactly what is extraordinary about them."

Elder Xu laughed.

Seeing One Dragon and One Phoenix so close to the two young boys—didn't that mean this juicy piece of meat was about to land in someone else's bowl? The moment Fang Tong thought of that, he could no longer endure it.

"Kid, where have your family elders gone?"

To be safe, Fang Tong still asked the question. For young boys like these to appear in the Cloud Dream Mountain Range, they should have something to rely on. Perhaps their elders were nearby.

"Quit yapping. Without that busted awl, can you even beat it? If you ask me, old man, you should be going home to rest. Saves you from coming out here, bumping into things, and hurting your bones."

Taishu Jing said lazily.

As soon as these words came out, many people burst into laughter.

"Haha, that young boy really speaks amusingly."

The girl also covered her mouth and laughed.

"He's only relying on the might of a divine beast. If there weren't a divine beast at his side, I don't believe he'd dare say that," Qingming snorted, somewhat disdainful.
