Boom!
The sixth Heavenly Tribulation arrived as scheduled. The purplish-red Heavenly Tribulation was like a raging dragon, its gaping maw rushing down, terrifying as if the end of the world was imminent.
This heavenly Heavenly Tribulation contains not only the power of thunder but also the power of heavenly fire. These two forces are intertwined, making it several times more powerful than simple lightning. Chen Mu almost perished under this attack back then.
"The Four Pillars of Destiny connect with Heaven, transforming fate and revealing two sides as one!"
As Chen Mu's hand seals changed, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation in the sky split in two. Ninety percent of the power flew towards Chen Mu, while only about ten percent still flew towards Mingye.
Boom... Crack! Crack!
The raging lightning and fire struck Mutou, but he didn't even flinch, letting the lightning and fire ravage his body.
"Receive!"
The runes within Chen Mu's body were activated, and he absorbed all the lightning and fire within a few breaths.
His physical strength is now hundreds or thousands of times greater than before he broke through to the Core Formation Realm, so while the power of thunder and fire is indeed terrifying, it is nothing to him now.
He turned to look at Mingye and found that Mingye had also blocked the lightning and fire.
"What about the Heart Demon Illusion Realm? It doesn't seem to have descended yet."
Of the remaining Heavenly Tribulation, Chen Mu was most worried about the Heart Demon Illusion Realm he had encountered when he was undergoing the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation. The Heart Demon Illusion Realm was formless and shapeless, and even Chen Mu did not know how it descended, so he had no idea how to resist it.
Boom! Boom!
The seventh Heavenly Tribulation didn't keep them waiting long; it quickly rushed down with a roar.
This Heavenly Tribulation is three-colored: purple, representing thunder; red, representing heavenly fire; and a touch of blue.
The blue one is Xuan Water. Xuan Water and Heavenly Fire are the two most extreme forces in the world. Now, under the influence of Heavenly Thunder, the Three-Colored Heavenly Tribulation exudes an aura of destruction and falls from the sky.
Chen Mu only left about two percent of his power for Mingye this time, and blocked the rest himself.
While the three-colored Heavenly Tribulation was indeed terrifying, Chen Mu's assessment of Mingye was that she could withstand 10% of its power without any problem.
However, the Heart Demon Tribulation has not yet appeared, Chen Mu must prepare for the worst. If Mingye falls into the inner demon while resisting the Heavenly Tribulation, it will be very dangerous. He must reserve more power for Mingye.
Boom... Crash...!
Chen Mu did not use any techniques to resist the Heavenly Tribulation this time. In addition to its destructive power, the Heavenly Tribulation also has a tempering effect on the human body, making it the best body tempering material in the world. He would not waste it if there was no danger.
After a dozen or so breaths, he had absorbed more than half of the three-colored Heavenly Tribulation, but at this moment the eighth Heavenly Tribulation had already emerged and rushed down with a roar.
The eighth Heavenly Tribulation is four-colored; compared to the previous three-colored Heavenly Tribulation, the eighth tribulation has an additional green power.
This green power is Yi Wood, representing the inexhaustible and resilient power. With the help of Yi Wood, the Four-Colored Heavenly Tribulation will not only be more powerful, but will also become more resilient and harder to destroy.
Crackle, crackle...!
When the Four-Colored Heavenly Tribulation struck Chen Mu, it didn't have the same overwhelming force as the Three-Colored Heavenly Tribulation. However, the four powers coiled around his body like snakes, causing him intense pain.
"Ah... open it for me!"
He roared, his body merging directly with his Dharma Aspect True Body, swelling to over ten meters tall. With a forceful push of his hands, he actually broke free from the Four-Colored Heavenly Tribulation.
However, the Four-Colored Heavenly Tribulation did not disappear; instead, it transformed into more than a dozen tiny, writhing snakes that continued to attack Chen Mu.
Boom boom boom...!
Chen Mu waved his fists, gradually obliterating the surrounding four-colored Heavenly Tribulation.
Chen Mu did not let Mingye share the burden of the eighth force, because this force was too resilient, and it would be difficult to destroy it unless one's strength was greater than its own.
But at that moment, Mingye suddenly froze, as if he had encountered something terrifying, and remained completely still.
" Mingye?"
Chen Mu called out to her, but she didn't respond at all.
"It's the Heart Demon Tribulation; it has indeed arrived."
Chen Mu wasn't too worried. Although the Heart Demon Tribulation was terrifying, its terrifying aspect lay in the dual attack of psychological and physiological factors.
Although Mingye is currently trapped in his inner demons, he shouldn't face any major problems in the short term. The most important thing now is to block the final heavenly Heavenly Tribulation, and then it won't be too late to help Mingye get rid of his inner demons.
Rumble...!
The tribulation clouds in the sky formed a vortex, like a guardian emperor, protecting the ninth heavenly lightning at its very center.
A bolt of purplish-gray lightning fell silently from the sky, causing no change in the surrounding space, and struck the ground in an instant.
"Bring it on!"
Chen Mu formed a hand seal and summoned a bolt of purplish-gray lightning that flew toward him.
This final bolt of heavenly lightning, known as the Annihilation Heavenly Thunder, is the final measure taken by Heavenly Dao against those undergoing tribulation.
Other Heavenly Tribulation attacks, besides causing harm to the tribulation seeker, all contain a glimmer of hope. As long as the tribulation seeker has a strong enough will, even if their strength is insufficient, they may still be able to overcome the tribulation.
But this Annihilation Heavenly Thunder is different; it contains no life force, only extreme destruction.
" The Five Elements Rotation, Immovable as a Mountain!"
Chen Mu spread his legs, his eyes wide with anger, and slammed his palms on the ground. Five small mountains rose from the ground, their power resonating with each other to form a powerful defensive formation that protected him in the center.
Boom...! BOOM...!
The Annihilation Heavenly Thunder was like a spear striking glass; the array formed by the five small mountains was shattered in less than a few breaths and quickly arrived in front of Chen Mu.
Despite the danger, Chen Mu remained calm and unleashed over a hundred punches in an instant, each punch imbued with the power of the Five Elements Ring.
Bang bang bang...!
In the end, the Annihilation Heavenly Thunder struck Chen Mu, blasting him backward and sending him crashing to the ground.
"Cough, this isn't a tribulation for someone breaking through to the Core Formation Realm; it's more like a tribulation prepared for someone at the Creation Realm!"
Chen Mu secretly scoffed, confident that the power of this final Annihilation Heavenly Thunder was absolutely no weaker than a full-force strike from Core Formation Realm Great Perfection.
Such a terrifying attack, used against a cultivator who hasn't even broken through to the Core Formation Realm, no wonder it's called the insurmountable Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.
Although the heavenly lightning had dissipated, the crisis was not over. Chen Mu quickly sat down, activated the power of the Four Pillars Reaching Heaven Talisman, and then extended his Divine Soul towards the Mingye.
"So this is Mingye's inner demon?..."
