Chapter 927: Thunder and Fire, Dual Dragons Meet, Soaring Together in Qingming, Reunion After a Long Separation
"Senior Sister, go ahead and complete the final step of the dan fragmentation and infant formation. Leave the rest to me!"
The man standing with his back to Cang Long said this, his calm words filled with indubitable confidence.
Cang Long stared at his back with a complex expression, her eyes, clear as autumn water, filled with both shock and reverence.
Under the third wave of heavenly lightning, which left her completely powerless to resist, he had shattered it with nothing but his bare fists.
The power he displayed far exceeded her imagination.
The young man who once needed her guidance and protection had, without her noticing, grown into a towering tree that could shelter her.
She did not doubt Luo Chen's words but said with concern, "Be careful", before gracefully descending from the air.
Yuehua Bing Bao stood in the cave, and Cang Long was inside.
In her qi sea, the Jin Dan emitted a cracking sound, and cracks began to appear on its surface.
A large amount of ethereal spiritual energy rushed into her body, and gradually, a tender female infant extended her hand from the Jin Dan.
The Three Treasures merged, and the dan fragmentation and infant formation were complete.
Once she crossed this step, the world would gain another Yuan Ying True Person.
Meanwhile, outside.
The moment Luo Chen appeared, a commotion erupted in all directions.
It wasn't because they recognized Luo Chen, as he had altered his appearance.
It was because his actions were utterly unprecedented.
For a cultivator undergoing the tribulation, the most taboo thing was for someone else to "interfere."
This "interference" wasn't limited to attacking.
Even helping with the tribulation was considered interference, and it could have a far greater impact than hostile attacks.
The former would distract the person undergoing the tribulation and reduce their ability to handle it.
The latter would make the heavenly tribulation believe the cultivator was not strong enough and was trying to cheat, leading to an increase in the intensity of the lightning punishment.
When Luo Chen underwent his tribulation, due to his profound foundation, he attracted a rare and powerful heavenly tribulation. Hei Wang had once wanted to help but was stopped by Han Zhan for this very reason.
However, Luo Chen's actions now clearly showed that he had been involved from start to finish.
Yet, he succeeded!
Each of the nine lightning bolts possessed the power of a peak early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator's ultimate strike.
But under his fist, they shattered one by one.
This indicated that he possessed strength far beyond that of an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
Was he perhaps even a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator?
Looking at the man standing in the void, defying the dark tribulation clouds, countless people's mouths went dry, and they involuntarily swallowed, trying to calm their excitement.
Such power could only belong to a great cultivator!
Could this Nascent Soul elder be one of the renowned great cultivators of Dong Huang?
People analyzed his techniques and his demeanor, trying to match him with known great cultivators.
But no matter how they analyzed, nothing seemed to fit.
During Dong Huang's peak, there were many great cultivators. The Abyss Sect alone had at least six or seven openly known, and other Nascent Soul sects combined had another five or six.
But after the two-hundred-year war between humans and demons and the fall of the Abyss Sect,
Now, only a few of these long-standing great cultivators remained.
The Grand Elder of Dongyang Sect, the Heavenly Capital Master of Heavenly Capital Sect, and the Divine Essence Sage of Wu Xing Shen Sect.
However, none of them matched this man.
"Then who is he?"
As the crowd speculated, the man moved.
Five beams of light flew from his body, entering the thundercloud.
Along with them, a large amount of golden liquid was also sent in.
His fingers moved swiftly, casting seals with graceful and practiced movements, his demeanor calm and collected.
Someone hesitated and asked, "Is he... refining an artifact?"
This question caused another uproar!
The heavenly tribulation's lightning was something people usually tried to avoid at all costs.
This old monster not only helped someone through their tribulation but also attempted to use the heavenly tribulation to refine a treasure?
Such a heaven-defying act—was he not afraid of angering the heavens?
As everyone thought, Luo Chen's actions had thoroughly enraged the heavenly tribulation.
The already thick thunderclouds began to churn wildly.
Silver-white arcs of lightning, like a dense web, erupted, illuminating the dark world in a blinding white.
Its anger was building, and its power was growing!
The lightning reflected on Luo Chen's face, which had turned slightly pale, and he could not help but become more serious.
"Helping Cang Long through her tribulation was already a rebellious act."
"I am now using the power of this lightning tribulation to refine five sword orbs, attempting to elevate three of them to the True Artifact level to complete the Great Five Elements Sword Array."
"From the looks of it, this might not end well."
Luo Chen pressed his lips together, his expression serious but not fearful.
The greater one's courage, the greater the reward.
Without taking any risks, how could one harvest three True Artifact sword orbs at once?
He had even invested the nine yang yang metal he had cherished for years; this time, he could not afford to fail!
At this moment, the five sword orbs darted around in the thundercloud like fish.
The nine yang yang metal fused within them, making them exceedingly sharp.
As the sword orbs extended and contracted, they transformed into silk ribbons one moment and steel threads the next, displaying remarkable agility.
The heavenly tribulation paid no heed to these inanimate objects, focusing its attention solely on Luo Chen.
After building up momentum, the thundercloud finally showed signs of change.
A claw slowly emerged from the thundercloud.
The claw, with its five toes, was both fearsome and elegant.
The moment Luo Chen saw the claw, his heart leaped into his throat.
"Lightning Form Beast!"
Before he could think, a roar echoed, and the thundercloud shook violently.
A bolt of golden light shot out from the dark, dense thundercloud, hurtling toward Luo Chen at an unimaginable speed.
It was a dragon!
Though it had no wings, the rabbit eyes, deer antlers, and eagle claws, combined with the fish scales, were enough to make any knowledgeable cultivator recognize it as a mythical dragon!
Moreover, it was a five-clawed golden dragon.
A five-clawed golden dragon formed purely from golden lightning!
Faced with this threat, Luo Chen remained unperturbed, unleashing the spell he had been preparing.
"Roar!"
The same roar echoed from his mouth.
A massive crimson dragon erupted from his body, charging straight at the golden lightning dragon.
Initially, the crimson fire dragon was less imposing than the golden lightning dragon, but as it flew, vast amounts of primordial energy in the heavens and earth began to converge on it, causing its body to grow larger.
Especially in the Shang You Ruined City, due to Qixia Yuanjun's furious strike, a large amount of fire-attribute spirit energy lingered.
Under the fire dragon's influence, all this spirit energy gathered.
With the advantage of the terrain, the fire dragon's might rapidly increased, and in the blink of an eye, it matched the golden lightning dragon, even threatening to surpass it.
All this, though described in detail, happened in an instant.
In a split second, a brilliant light exploded in the void.
The heavenly lightning met the fire, unleashing a destructive force that spread in all directions at an unimaginable speed.
Especially the hundred-mile area beneath Luo Chen's feet suffered catastrophic damage.
Boom!
The already fragile ruins were further devastated by the intense explosion.
Ge Wangji's abode was instantly reduced to dust.
Only the Yuehua Bing Bao stood firm, emitting a soft white glow.
Luo Chen glanced at the Bing Bao, feeling relieved.
Then he looked up at the heavy thundercloud in the sky.
With a gesture, he summoned the five sword orbs.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The five rays of light returned like fledglings to their nest, and he swallowed them whole.
Then, Luo Chen glared at the thundercloud.
As he had expected, the heavenly tribulation was ultimately based on the cultivator's strength.
Moreover, after digesting and comprehending the essence of fire, Luo Chen's true realm had only just advanced to the sixth layer of the nascent soul stage.
Combined with this, the intensity of the lightning tribulation had been on par with what a great cultivator would face.
Logically, it should have been enough to obliterate both Cang Long and Luo Chen.
But even at the sixth layer of the nascent soul stage, Luo Chen's explosive power was no less than that of an ordinary great cultivator.
Thus, the golden transformation lightning tribulation did not harm him in the slightest.
"Is there more to come?"
Murmuring, Luo Chen focused intently, his divine sense constantly monitoring the changes in the thundercloud.
Frustrated by its repeated failures, the heavenly tribulation seemed even angrier.
The thundercloud continued to transform, with not only golden lightning but also intermittent purple and black lightning.
But in the end!
Whoosh...
With a gentle breeze, the massive thundercloud slowly dissipated.
Under the clear sky, it seemed as if nothing had happened.
The low-rank cultivators who had fled far away felt as if it had all been a dream.
Some of the more daring ones even ventured toward Ge Laoguai's abode.
"I have a good relationship with that Ge Laoguai. Maybe I can attach myself to him."
"Such a powerful cultivator, yet he chose to undergo his tribulation in an unclaimed land, indicating he is a solitary figure. If I can become his disciple, I will have someone to protect me when I advance to the nascent soul realm."
...
Luo Chen paid no attention to their thoughts.
At this moment, Luo Chen was sitting in the Baiying shuttle with Cang Long and Ge Wangji, soaring high above the azure sky.
"Seniors, you can chat. Just call me if you need anything."
Ge Wangji bowed and then withdrew.
Cang Long glanced at the man and sighed in admiration, "He's a promising young talent!"
"Anyone who survived the human-demon war must have some extraordinary qualities. Even if it's just luck, it shows he has good fortune", Luo Chen smiled.
Then, his expression turned serious.
"Sorry, Senior Sister. You just broke through and haven't had time to stabilize your realm, yet you have to accompany me on this journey."
"No rush, there's no need to hurry."
Cang Long brushed the strands of hair from her cheek, revealing a gentle smile.
Her body emitted intense spiritual power fluctuations, a sign that her realm had yet to stabilize, her Purple Palace Barrier had not fully formed, and her nascent soul was still subtly resonating with the heavens and earth.
It was like breathing, which produces a faint airflow.
When the nascent soul resonates with the outside world, it generates spiritual power fluctuations.
For anyone who had just broken through to a new realm, the most important thing was to stabilize their realm and prevent such intense spiritual power fluctuations.
Cang Long knew that the ruined city of Shang You was not a good place to consolidate her realm, but she was curious why Luo Chen did not return to Dan Sheng Paradise and instead headed east.
In response to her question, Luo Chen flicked his wrist.(End of Chapter)
