More than ten kilometers away from where Chen Mu was undergoing his tribulation, Wang Yu, along with Ye Lin and Tu Nan, stood atop a mountain peak, watching the distant valley filled with lightning and thunder.

"This kid is really stubborn; he actually managed to withstand the fifth lightning tribulation. I wonder how he did it."

For some reason, Wang Yu felt vaguely uneasy, but with his two subordinates present, he didn't show it.

"Hmph! No matter how much he struggles, he can't possibly survive the legendary Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation!"

Tu Nan crossed his arms, appearing very confident.

Having survived the Heavenly Tribulation himself, he naturally knew Heavenly Tribulation terror. Even Wang Yu feared being affected by the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, so he would never believe that Chen Mu could survive it.

"This Ancient Desolate Remnant Clan can't be allowed to live anymore; they're always causing me trouble."

Even if it costs me more, I will wipe them out this time.

Wang Yu's face was icy as she turned to look at Ye Lin, who had remained silent.

" Ye Lin, what do you think?"

"I have no objection. Lord Wang Yu, you may do as you please."

Ye Lin was expressionless, like a soulless corpse.

Wang Yu nodded, already having a plan in mind.

With his strength, it wouldn't be difficult for him to wipe out the Ancient Desolate Remnant Clan, it would just require some effort.

The reason he hadn't taken action before was simply because he felt the Ancient Desolate Remnant Clan posed no threat to him, but now, he was truly determined to exterminate them.

Inside the valley, after the fifth bolt of lightning ended, the sixth bolt of lightning in the sky never descended.

Within Chen Mu's body, the elixir formed from liquid Dharma Power had essentially taken shape.

All he lacks now is the final step of completing the elixir.

The process of forming the elixir is crucial. When the elixir is formed, it will transform the cultivator's physical body, turning it into a semi-spiritual body, making it easier for the cultivator to contain and control the Spiritual Power of heaven and earth in the future.

Generally speaking, it often takes ordinary cultivators several days to complete the transformation of their physical body.

For Chen Mu, even though his Dharma Power was more refined, it would still take at least one or two hours to complete the transformation of his physical body.

Such a long period of time is clearly not enough to deal with the sixth Heavenly Tribulation.

"It's coming!"

After waiting for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Chen Mu finally sensed that the final lightning tribulation was about to descend.

A purplish-red dragon, seemingly alive, poked its head out from the clouds of tribulation and stared intently at Chen Mu.

Boom!

With a deafening roar, the dragon swooped down.

This bolt of lightning was no longer pure thunder; the red part was heavenly fire. The combination of lightning and fire evolved into a pure, destructive calamity of thunder and fire.

Chen Mu is now completely unable to use the previous Five Elements transformation to resolve this Heavenly Tribulation.

what to do?

At that moment, Chen Mu's mind momentarily faltered.

"Dad, I'm scared. People at school bully me. I don't want to go to school anymore."

In a daze, he returned to Earth, back to the days when he lived by collecting scraps with his father.

" Mutou, if you really don't want to go, I won't force you."

My father, in my memory, was always hunched over. He hadn't received much formal education, but he loved to reason with people.

" Mutou, have you ever thought about how you want to live your life?"

"I... I don't know."

Chen Mu peeked out from under the covers and looked at his father, not understanding why he would ask such a question.

"Oh, Mutou! In this world, without darkness, there would be no light."

If life lacks the ordinary, it will lack the extraordinary.

Similarly, if you never dare to face difficulties and challenges, your life will forever remain stagnant.

I hope you can think clearly about what kind of future you want.

"I..."

Chen Mu stared blankly at his father, then suddenly understood what to do.

What's wrong with me?

When Chen Mu regained consciousness, a purplish-red bolt of lightning was already close at hand.

Without hesitation, he clasped his hands together, and the phantom image of the Five Elements Ring appeared behind him as he used all his strength to defend himself.

boom!!

Crimson lightning struck him, and he couldn't help but let out a painful howl.

"Ah...!"

He felt a stinging pain all over his body, as if he were being cut by countless sharp blades, an indescribable agony.

Just then, the runes that had been integrated into his body were spontaneously activated, and they actually appeared on his body surface on their own, helping Chen Mu stabilize his physical body and preventing it from collapsing.

After several dozen breaths, Chen Mu discovered that his body had adapted to the damage from the lightning and fire.

After his body adapted, not only could the lightning and fire not harm Chen Mu, but Chen Mu's body was like a peerless treasure, constantly being tempered by the lightning and fire, becoming stronger and more perfect.

After a while, the power of the thunder and fire was exhausted and disappeared completely.

The storm clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, and the sky returned to clear skies.

We made it through!

Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief, sat cross-legged on the ground, and planned to use the lightning fire he had just absorbed to complete the transformation of his body in one go and truly step into the Core Formation Realm.

When facing the final Heavenly Tribulation, it was actually extremely dangerous. Its most terrifying aspect was not the lightning and fire, but the invasion of inner demons.

If he had been a fraction slower to regain consciousness and hadn't activated the Five Elements Ring to resist the lightning and fire in time, it would have been dangerous.

"Dad, you saved my life this time!"

Chen Mu's eyes were slightly red. Although his memories of Earth were dwindling, the education his adoptive father had given him was his eternal treasure.

"Condense!"

Inside Chen Mu's dantian, the formed elixir shone with multicolored light, eventually merging into a deep gray and hanging in the very center of his dantian.

puff...!

At the moment the pill was formed, a vortex of Spiritual Power appeared around Chen Mu, and all the Spiritual Power within a radius of several kilometers was drawn towards Chen Mu Chen Mu by the pill.

" Chen Mu succeeded, let's go over there."

After the battle just now, Mingye finally lowered his guard against Nangong Ya and the others.

The four humans and one beast rushed to Chen Mu's side, surrounding Chen Mu and protecting him as Chen Mu transformed into a physical body.

"This absorption rate is terrifying!"

Nangong Ya sighed inwardly, because the transformation of the physical body by a typical Core Formation Realm cultivator would only cause a small change in the Spiritual Power in the air.

But in her perception, the surrounding area for several kilometers had now become a vacuum zone, with all the Spiritual Power swirling around Chen Mu, and Chen Mu was like the eye of a whirlpool in the ocean, absorbing all the Spiritual Power.

His absorption speed was dozens of times faster than that of an ordinary Core Formation Realm.

After a while, Mingye keenly sensed that three figures were approaching from a distance.

" Wang Yu is back! Everyone be careful."

She quickly spoke up to remind him.

However, at this moment, Nangong Ya had lost her fighting ability due to burning her Divine Soul, and Lu Yuanzhen was also seriously injured and unable to participate in the battle.

The only ones still capable of fighting on the field are Nangong Tong, Mingye, and Little White Fox.
