Tribulation, Core Formation, the True Self!
Thunder roared, Four-Colored Divine Lightning burst forth, unleashing a sea of lightning-filled trees!
Such an attack, even with the combined power of the Three Ghosts and Seven Generals, nearly pierced through Qin Lu, and it only withstood one bolt of heavenly lightning...
Immediately afterwards--
Another bolt of Four-Colored Divine Lightning struck, and Qin Lu mobilized his Spiritual Power, fully activating the Heaven Burial Technique to resist the heavenly lightning with his weapon!
To put it simply, the raw materials for this Heaven Burial came from the remnant body of a great demon who failed to transcend tribulation.
This is the essence of the Second Elder of the Frost Demons!
Even so, after blocking the attack, some minor damage appeared on the weapon's body, indicating that its core had been damaged...
Seeing this, Qin Lu had no choice but to take it back.
Intending to withstand it with his own body, there were six remaining Four-Colored Divine Lightning...
If your natal Law Treasure is destroyed, it will inevitably turn against its owner. At this time, being injured by the backlash is not a wise move...
The divine lightning struck again!
Qin Lu gathered the power of the Dao Law and collided with the Four-Colored Divine Lightning. The Dao Law between them mutually annihilated each other, eventually collapsing...
The Frost and Snow Robe emitted a pale blue aura, attempting to mitigate the power of the Lightning Tribulation as much as possible!
Until the very end--
The Four-Colored Divine Lightning dissipated, but similarly, a trace of blood appeared at the corner of Qin Lu's mouth. After many years, Qin Lu was injured once again...
Along with the Law Treasure, the Frost and Snow Robe, it also turned to ashes and vanished into the air!
One strike --
This caused Qin Lu to be injured and a Law Treasure to be destroyed; it's truly terrifying. It seems Qin Lu's caution was indeed correct...
If I had rashly attempted the tribulation back then, I doubt I would have been able to withstand the Four-Colored Divine Lightning!
However, it was just a minor injury.
With a slight movement of his Mystic Soul Dao Body, he quickly recovered from his injuries...
Even the remnants of the Lightning Dao Principle within his body were rapidly dissolved. When the Mystic Soul Dao Body truly began to unleash its power...
Qin Lu's eyes instantly turned a ghostly gray!
The incomparably powerful Nether Soul Dao Principle enveloped his entire body, transforming it into a suit of Nether Soul armor, demonstrating his control over the Dao Law...
It's a leap to a whole new level!
With a wave of his hand, the Nether Soul Dao Principle transformed into various forms—dragons, snakes, birds, and beasts—each different from the last, Dao Law power controlled by his will...
Clash with the Four-Colored Divine Lightning!
final--
The fifth bolt of Four-Colored Divine Lightning clashed with the Nether Soul Dao Principle, ultimately dissipating into nothingness...
Then came the sixth, seventh, and eighth!
Three bolts of Four-Colored Divine Lightning struck in succession, seemingly giving Qin Lu no chance to catch his breath, but in that instant...
Qin Lu has completely erupted!
With each bolt of Four-Colored Divine Lightning strike, Qin Lu would activate a Divine Ability, using the Nether Soul Sword Intent to withstand the Four-Colored Divine Lightning...
A clash of titans, ultimately resulting in mutual destruction!
The damage to one's Dao is negligible, or perhaps it's a matter of using one's true form as Nether Soul to withstand the seventh bolt of the Four-Colored Divine Lightning, even if one's physical body is charred black...
The original structure nearly collapsed, yet Qin Lu still stands tall!
The Soul Wood Dao Principles then manifested a gigantic phantom, enduring the eighth bolt of Four-Colored Divine Lightning...
At this moment, Qin Lu was completely battered and bruised, his entire body enveloped in the Dao of Thunder, constantly tormented by it, clearly suffering from Dao injuries!
Qin Lu had a premonition that this final bolt of Four-Colored Divine Lightning...
This is probably his death day!
Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Lu summoned the Infant Embryo Fruit, shattered its outer shell, and seized the tender pink dragon. The next moment...
It was refined in an instant!
In that instant, a surge of powerful Spiritual Power filled his limbs and bones, causing every pore on his body to open up, like an infant drawing upon the full potency of the Infant Embryo Fruit...
In just a few breaths, Qin Lu's body was revitalized!
The injuries vanished instantly, bones and muscles grew stronger, and even the skin...
A layer of fine dragon scales appeared on them!
And then the final bolt of Four-Colored Divine Lightning struck...
Its power was immense, many times stronger than before. Even though Qin Lu was at his peak, he was still blasted thousands of feet away!
Its body was completely black; with a single blow...
Its Dao Law was extinguished, and its physical body was severely damaged, developing numerous tiny cracks, as if the body itself was on the verge of collapse...
But in any case--
Qin Lu withstood that Lightning Tribulation!
If it weren't for the Infant Embryo Fruit as a safety net, this final blow would have truly been a disaster. Indeed, one cannot underestimate the Heavenly Rules...
A person can be arrogant, or he can be humble; but if one becomes too arrogant, death is not far off.
But right now--
He is far from Core Formation. Surviving the Lightning Tribulation is only the most difficult step. After that, he will comprehend the Dao Law...
The Golden Core has been forged!
After being tempered by the Lightning Tribulation, Qin Lu could clearly sense that his physical body had undergone a transformation and was now capable of bearing more Dao Law...
Then, when the Ninefold Essence Tempering was activated, nine drops of Great Dao Water slowly appeared before his eyes. Finally, the nine drops merged and gradually condensed into a physical form!
At the same time--
The Soul Wood Dao Principles also began to condense. The power of the two Dao Law combined to form a physical entity and then fused with it, thereby condensing the Golden Core...
This step can be described as a natural progression. Qin Lu's application of the power of the Dao Law is extremely skillful, and he has already reached a state of perfection!
With the assistance of the Mystic Soul Dao Body, the process of Core Formation was extremely smooth...
The moment the Golden Core elixir solidifies and takes full shape!
Qin Lu relaxed, and was filled with emotion. He swallowed a Golden Core pill, and from then on, he was one of them, able to enjoy a lifespan of seven or eight hundred years...
From that moment on, in this vast world, where could Qin Lu not go?!
Wandering freely in this world, amidst countless worldly affairs!
"Avoiding fate and karma, all kinds of shackles bind the true self!"
"Following the will of Heaven, accepting the consequences. Only today do I realize who I truly am!"
"Once you attain enlightenment and see your true self, what fear is there of the old shackles?"
"The shackles of this world are but a dream, formless, without shape, and without self!"
"The true understanding of 'no-self' reveals that everything is me!"
With a single thought, the Nether Soul Dao Principle and the Soul Wood Dao Principles trembled together. When Qin Lu opened his eyes, it was as if the entire world had been renewed...
Just by looking up at the sky, it was as if the secret realm had been revealed...
It seems that one can see through the secret realm to the horizon, where two Great Dao Long River are revealed. Although one cannot touch them, one can still glimpse them!
A vast convergence of Spiritual Power--
Qin Lu felt as if a single slap could kill ten of his former selves. With just a slight activation of the Dao Law and Divine Sense, in the sky...
A gigantic hand, formed from the Nether Soul Dao Principle, slowly slammed down onto the earth, causing the ground to tremble...
The entire Vast Dao Field, and even the entire secret realm, were affected as a result!
Then--
Qin Lu took a single step and retrieved the core of the secret realm...
When the secret realm reopens!
Qin Lu instantly arrived outside, his speed so fast it was almost instantaneous, as if each step created a new world...
One step can cover a hundred miles!
With a single thought, one can change the very fabric of heaven and earth, condensing the Dao Law into tangible form to confront the enemy...
Looking towards the horizon, where the sea and sky merge into one, a surge of heroic ambition welled up within me, and finally, facing the rising sun, I declared:
"Shallow waters cannot confine True Dragon, nor can golden scales be confined to a pond!"
"One day, the entire world will submit to the iron hooves of Great Qin, reciting the laws of Great Qin and obeying Great Qin systems..."
"This world will be unified once again!"
