Half an hour later, a thousand miles away, above a desolate cluster of volcanoes.
Li Qingshan's figure appeared out of thin air, standing suspended in mid-air.
This is the very place where he underwent his seventh tribulation three months ago.
The mountain, once ravaged by the heavenly tribulation, has begun to heal under the pulse of the earth. However, the charred rock walls and solidified lava still tell the story of the terror of that day's lightning tribulation.
The air still retained faint traces of the laws of heaven and earth, intertwining with the earth's fiery energy to form a hazy halo that was difficult to see with the naked eye. Ordinary cultivators would feel their divine power stagnate upon arriving here.
He no longer suppressed his aura, and the divine power of the Seventh Transformation of Dragon Transformation within his body slowly circulated, like a savage dragon that had been sleeping for thousands of years awakening. A vast and mighty aura soared into the sky, instantly stirring up the winds and clouds in all directions!
"Boom!!"
The response arrived suddenly from the heavens!
The once clear sky was suddenly filled with clouds that gathered wildly overhead, turning from light gray to inky black in the blink of an eye. The clouds were as thick as lead, as if they were about to crush the entire sky.
Within the thick clouds, instead of ordinary silver-white lightning, streaks of crimson-gold thunder roared and rolled! The lightning was as intense as the sun melting gold, and the destructive aura it emitted was several times more domineering than the golden thunder of the seventh transformation!
Before the thunder had even truly struck, the invisible might of heaven had already enveloped the entire area.
Below, the newly solidified rock surface of the volcanic cluster began to crack and pop, showing signs of cracking again.
The surface of the lava lake was no longer calm, and towering waves rose up. The scorching lava was drawn up by an invisible force field and turned into a rain of fire that fell down.
"The tribulation of the Eighth Transformation of Dragon Transformation is indeed far superior to that of the seventh transformation."
Li Qingshan felt the terrifying power of the heavens, but his eyes remained calm, only his fighting spirit was rising.
With a thought, the Bitter Sea within the Sea of Bitterness Secret Realm surged, the five internal organs of the Dao Palace resonated, and the laws of the Four Extremes of heaven and earth empowered him. Finally, all the boundless divine power poured into the awakened dragon in his spine!
"Buzz!"
When the Sun True Scripture was activated to its limit, blazing golden divine flames burst forth from his body and condensed behind him into a flame dharma image that was a hundred feet tall!
The Dharma image was blurry yet infinitely majestic, with countless miniature stars revolving around it, and the illusory images of the sun and moon floating around it. It was clearly the initial manifestation of Li Qingshan's understanding of the concept of "self-contained universe"!
"Roar!!"
The first crimson-gold lightning dragon finally tore through the clouds and roared down!
This thunder dragon is incredibly lifelike, with clearly defined scales and armor, and its body is wreathed in wisps of pale purple heavenly fire!
Wherever it passed, the Void was scorched with twisted char marks, radiating a terrifying heat that could burn everything.
This lightning tribulation actually contained the sharpness of Geng Metal Divine Lightning and the scorching heat of the Nine Heavens Tribulation Fire. Its power far exceeded the full-force attack of an ordinary peak cultivator in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm!
Li Qingshan neither dodged nor evaded, facing the might of heaven head-on. He simply threw a punch, and the fiery avatar behind him moved in sync. The giant fist that circled the galaxy, carrying the nascent Universe Dao, clashed fiercely with the crimson-gold thunder dragon!
"Bang!!"
A deafening roar erupted, and crimson and golden light swept across the heavens and earth like a tidal wave, blinding everyone.
The violent energy shockwave spread out in a ring, instantly flattening several mountain peaks below!
The scattered heavenly fire fell onto the scorched volcanic rock, igniting an inextinguishable golden flame, but it was instead drawn in and devoured by the Sun True Fire surrounding Li Qingshan!
He was actually using the power of the heavenly fire within this tribulation lightning to further refine and purify his own Solar Divine Power!
The second lightning dragon arrived in quick succession, even more robust in size, and its crimson-gold lightning was mixed with a hint of unsettling darkness!
That was lightning containing a trace of the Dao principle of "annihilation," specifically designed to harm the cultivator's soul; it was extremely vicious.
A sharp light flashed in Li Qingshan's eyes, and the supreme concept of " Yin-Yang Union with the Dao " instantly emerged from the depths of his consciousness.
His divine sense surged forth, transforming into a slowly rotating Taiji Dao Diagram before him. The Yin and Yang energies flowed endlessly, like the womb of Yin-Yang and earth, steadily blocking the dark lightning containing the power of annihilation three feet away.
At the same time, he actually opened his mouth and inhaled, drawing some of the crimson gold divine lightning into his body!
"Crackling and popping!"
Crimson-gold electric snakes surged wildly through his meridians, tearing and reforming, destroying and reborn.
Li Qingshan's physical body, through this extremely painful tempering, shone brightly, his bones hummed, and he emitted a faint precious light.
He has always enjoyed using lightning to temper his body, and this terrifying lightning tribulation of the eighth transformation is the best "body tempering elixir" for him!
The third, fourth, and fifth waves of thunder dragons grew stronger with each wave, their colors gradually shifting from crimson gold to dark gold and then Purple Gold. The laws of heaven and earth contained within them became increasingly complex and profound, sometimes like a Heavenly Blade slashing down, sometimes like a divine mountain pressing down, and sometimes evolving into a chaotic vortex.
Li Qingshan used every means at his disposal, sometimes directly confronting the starry river with his fiery Dharma form;
Sometimes he draws lightning into his body, using it as a furnace to forge an indestructible form;
Sometimes it operates according to the Universe Dao, dispelling the erosion of negative laws such as annihilation and destruction.
His body floated and sank amidst the lightning, and on the surface of his skin, fine and mysterious dragon scale patterns faintly appeared. The dragon roar emanating from his spine grew higher and clearer, as if a true ancient True Dragon was about to break free from its restraints and soar into the heavens!
When the last, and most terrifying, ninth lightning dragon descended, the world lost its color!
It was no longer a simple dragon shape, but a hundred-foot-tall war god completely formed from Purple Gold- gold lightning!
The God of War's face was blurred, and he held a thunderous spear crackling with endless lightning. Wherever the spear pointed, swathes of the Void were annihilated!
It charged fiercely toward Li Qingshan with supreme majesty, which judged all things and destroyed all laws!
This attack has already faintly touched the threshold of the Immortal Platform Secret Realm!
Li Qingshan took a deep breath, and faced with this earth-shattering attack, his eyes shone with an unprecedented light.
" Yin-Yang are the foundation, the universe is the form, true fire is the soul, fusion!"
With a shout, the Sun True Fire, the Universe Dao, and the essence of Yin-Yang within his body perfectly merged at that moment!
The fiery avatar behind him suddenly contracted, completely merging with his true form!
The next moment, he raised his hand and made a pressing motion.
It is not any known supernatural power or secret technique, but rather the evolution of the Tao!
A miniature, realistic cosmic image appeared in front of his palm!
It includes the birth and annihilation of stars, the flow of galaxies, and the transformation of Yin-Yang and yang into chaos, thus Heaven-Opening!
"Boom!!"
The Thunder God of War, carrying the power of destruction, crashed headlong into that miniature universe!
There was no explosion as imagined, only a grand roar of laws colliding and order being reshaped.
The power of stars extinguished the lightning, the Yin-Yang and yang energies decomposed the laws of the universe, and the chaotic vortex devoured the energy. That terrifying blow, which was enough to severely injure a beginner-level Mighty Figure Immortal Platform expert, was actually disintegrated and absorbed bit by bit in this nascent "universe" phantom!
As the last wisp of lightning vanished, a crisp "crack" sound came from Li Qingshan's body, as if some kind of shackle had been completely broken!
The Eighth Transformation of Dragon Transformation has been completed!
The raging clouds dissipated as quickly as they had arrived, and the warm morning light shone down once more, illuminating the scorched earth scarred by devastation.
Li Qingshan stood silently in the Void, the dazzling dragon scale patterns on his body slowly disappearing beneath his skin, but his aura was several times deeper than before his tribulation!
Standing there, one feels as if they have become one with this world, and every gesture they make can stir up the spiritual energy tides within a radius of hundreds of miles.
Looking inward, above the Bitter Sea, the "sea of fire and starry river" appears ever more magnificent and real, with the starlight at its core shining Eternal, like a real star's imprint.
The great dragon at the spine has fully awakened. With each pulse, it resonates with the sounds of heaven and earth. The spine shines brightly, covered with golden light like sacred dragon scales, and it has almost transformed into a true dragon of life!
Various insights into the laws of heaven and earth surged into his mind, readily available to him, and his divine power was several times greater than during the seventh transformation!
