CHAPTER 380: CHAPTER 375: QUANQING TRUE MONARCH

A series of golden heavenly thunders descended, the tribulation light seemed to open the heavens and split the earth, containing power enough to topple mountains and obliterate all Golden Core Cultivators from the world!

Li Quanqing struggled desperately against it, the Five Thunder Miro Umbrella in his hand continuously trembled, spewing out the heavenly thunder it had previously absorbed, transforming into five-colored thunder light to counterattack!

Turning defense into offense!

But this too came at a cost, as the Milo Umbrella released the Five Thunders Essence Qi, its own defense naturally weakened, the protective light screen it formed became nearly nonexistent.

Li Quanqing had to rely on his physical body to forcibly endure the tribulation, accepting the baptism of the thunder essence, his clothes shredded, charred scars appearing across his body.

Buzz!!

At the same time, the Hanhai Bowl also floated below him, humming incessantly, helping its master to exhaust the Heavenly Might Tribulation Thunder, advancing toward the Nascent Soul Spiritual Treasure.

One after another, the thunders exploded, all golden tribulation thunders, like a sea of golden lightning, supporting the entire tribulation cloud, illuminating the ten directions of the world.

"There’s still one more strike..."

Li Quanqing’s gaze fixed on the sky, struggling bitterly amidst the tribulation, appearing very bedraggled.

Under his feet, the Jade Dragon Pond’s water surface boiled for hundreds of miles around, water columns shot skyward, and the essence from the Fourth Rank Spirit Vein was being drawn, refined by him alone.

Inside the Dantian, the golden core spun rapidly, previously dim, its light now brightened again, and mana roared freely through his meridians.

Despite appearing severely injured, his entire body blackened as if charred, in reality, he had not harmed his origin.

There was no doubt, the tribulation-suppressing treasure was indeed formidable; the whole process was far easier than he had imagined.

Rumble!

The thunder roared, and the tribulation clouds began to rapidly contract, with the thirty-sixth heavenly thunder brewing, as if having its own life, constantly expanding and contracting.

Li Quanqing’s pupils shrank as he suddenly saw, in the sea of golden thunder, a streak of purple suddenly bloomed, like divine brilliance pouring from the heavens, extraordinary beyond measure.

The golden tribulation thunder descended slowly, tinged with a wisp of purple, everywhere it passed, the void shattered like broken glass, crumbling piece by piece.

All things shall turn to dust in an instant!

"Such powerful heavenly thunder, enough to destroy the might of a Nascent Soul!"

Deep within the Ten Thousand Fish Pond, the old clan chief looked shocked, the Spirit Pearl Treasure in his hand shone brilliantly, recording the entire scene within.

The purple-gold tribulation thunder raged like a heaven-opening sword suppressing eternity, in the shattered void deep within the heavenly vault, as if a supreme presence descended.

At this critical moment, Li Quanqing no longer held back. The Whale Emperor Sacred Armor at his Dantian suddenly gleamed, penetrating flesh and bone, transforming into a layer of azure armor draping over his body.

He had not used it before for fear of the tribulation’s power increasing again, but now as the thunder struck with no regret, survival was imperative.

Boom!!

The purple-gold heavenly thunder roared down, like a true dragon formed of tribulation light, crashing head-on into the Milo Umbrella, releasing boundless thunder light.

The Five Thunder Miro Umbrella emitted a mournful cry, with a tearing sound, a small tear appeared on its surface, falling from the sky, its runes dimmed and its aura plummeted.

Li Quanqing was exposed in the thunder, facing the tribulation directly, an overwhelming presence engulfing him whole.

When the blinding light dispersed, the figure wearing the Holy Armor reappeared in view, tiny purple-gold lightnings crackling on the armor’s surface.

Unscathed!

"Would the Heavenly Dao... not acknowledge this?"

Li Quanqing looked at the black tribulation clouds still churning above, his heart slightly uneasy.

He mused to himself, this couldn’t be considered cheating, right?

It was merely a small, flexible maneuver within the permitted rules!

Li Quanqing hesitated for a moment, then opened the Holy Armor, feigning to spit a few mouthfuls of blood, as a gesture of respect.

You see, I’m gravely injured!

The Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation, terrifying as it was!

Finally, the tribulation clouds above completely dispersed, leaving only the purest heaven and earth essence qi to cleanse the Cultivator’s roots and forge the foundation of the Nascent Soul.

The Heavenly Dao is fair; having endured the four-nine tribulations, there will be no more hardships.

Seven-colored rainbow light spread across the heavens, a rare tribulation essence, representing the faint world origin, creating all things.

Seeing this, Li Quanqing let out a long breath, the golden core flew out from his body, devouring all the omnipresent essence.

One could see, as the rainbow light formed, it transformed into a seven-colored lotus platform, supporting a flawless golden core, round and full, perfect and whole.

Within the increasingly crystal-clear golden core, three strands of nascent qi tangled, continually growing, forming the outline of a blurry infant.

"Break!"

With a low cry from Li Quanqing, the golden core suddenly trembled, its brilliance intensified, with a crisp "crack," surface cracks spread.

The azure golden core, as if enduring endless pressure, each crack spewed out incomparably rich life essence qi.

The fragmented golden core pieces turned into thick mana droplets, converging and reshaping three feet above Li Quanqing’s Heavenly Spirit Cover.

Gradually, the silhouette of a blurry infant appeared, its features yet unclear, but already exuding a lively aura, calmly seated on the lotus platform, its might pervading heaven and earth.

Witnessing this scene, tens of thousands of Li Family members couldn’t hold back, bursting into joyful cheers, their excitement overflowing.

At that very moment, time and space around seemed to freeze and halt.

Soon after, ripples appeared in the void, vague and indistinct, dreamlike mist spread, those cheering voices gradually faded, the faces of the clan members blurred.

The extraterrestrial heart demons have descended!

At this most perilous moment, from Li Quanqing’s bosom, a jade-like Dan Pill suddenly leaped out autonomously, expanding a holy light to protect his flesh and Nascent Soul.

The Saint Infant Pill!

This extremely precious Nascent Soul-forming holy object, not to be ingested, but to be used externally to ward off heart demons!

Li Quanqing’s barely formed primordial spirit infant spread its small hands, immediately embracing the Saint Infant Pill.

On the surface of the jade-like flawless elixir, golden patterns seemed to ignite, chanting sounds of saints preaching the dao resonated, the holy light expanded, keeping the heart demons at bay.

The phantasmal mist surged and faintly emitted a roar of discontent.

Unwilling to relent, the heart demons, even as the mist was weakened by layers of holy light, still stubbornly tunneled into the Sea of Consciousness of the cultivator before them.

In that instant, the scene before Li Quanqing transformed, layer upon layer of illusions interwove, regrets, fears, and desires surged and melded.

"Li Quanqing, as an outer disciple, you dare steal the sect’s true teachings, what is your punishment!"

"Today, I’m divorcing you! Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river!"

"Spiritual energy is reviving, the Kunlun Immortal Mountain has emerged, someone witnessed a true dragon pulling a coffin, all beings are embarking on the path of evolution!"

Li Quanqing walked through these layers of illusions, no matter how real they seemed, he remained unmoved.

Han Yuling gently shook, the crisp and pleasant sound of the bell echoed around him, a cool aura constantly guarding the Mud Pill Palace.

In addition, the flawless Dao Heart tempered by a hundred lifetimes of reincarnation ensured the chaos of heart demons was safely and smoothly passed, without danger!

Finally, accompanied by the heart demon’s roar of unwillingness, all the phantasmal mists retreated, the frozen time and space restored to normal, the clan members’ cheers resounded again.
