Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

The blood-red sea of ​​thunder was like the collapsing sky, and the ten-thousand-foot-high thunder turned into a torrent, pressing down with the force of destroying the world!

Xue'er's eyes flashed with cold light, and her nine tails danced together. Ice lotus blossomed at the tips of the tails, forming a huge ice lotus formation above her head. As the formation rotated, it released an extremely cold force, which collided with the rolling thunder waves!
"Boom--!"

The heaven and earth lost their voices, and the space collapsed!
The Ice Lotus Formation trembled violently in the sea of ​​thunder, and spider-web-like cracks quickly covered its surface, but it still held up against the devastating impact.

The silver glow of the Xuanbing Dao Armor surged, and the power of the stars circulated frantically, absorbing the thunder energy and transforming it into cold energy, which was then fed back into Xue'er's body, preventing her foundation from being shaken in the violent thunder punishment.

The five-colored spiritual light of the Five Elements Talisman interweaves to form a Five Elements Dao Domain that guides part of the thunder force into it, destroying it; the green flame of the Green Lotus Soul Lamp sways, resisting the erosion of the spiritual level and protecting the soul from severe damage.

The Purple Gold Return to Origin Order made a deep humming sound, as if it sensed the crisis of life and death. The Dao patterns on the token flowed rapidly, and the origin of the Five Elements faintly emerged, ready to take action and bear the calamity on behalf of the master in the most critical moment!
Xue'er gritted her teeth and resisted, silver blood flowing from the corners of her mouth. The demonic energy in her body surged wildly, and her body did not retreat a single step. The next moment, she suddenly howled to the sky, the fox pattern between her eyebrows suddenly lit up, and from the depths of her sea of ​​consciousness came the roar of an ancient celestial fox - that was the sound of inheritance in her blood!
"Roar--!"

In an instant, her nine fox tails simultaneously burned with silver-blue flames, like silver flames burning the sky, illuminating the entire calamity cloud.

"Crack," one after another horrific thunder crashed down, and in an instant gathered into a sea of ​​thunder.

"Nine Extremes of Cold, Nine Skies Sealed in Ice!" Xue'er shouted, and her nine tails flew like a waterfall. The ice lotuses on the tips of the tails exploded one after another, releasing layers of superimposed extreme cold power, and actually opened up an ice domain in the sea of ​​thunder!
The sea of ​​thunder was frozen, the lightning solidified, and the thunder in the sky suddenly stopped in the air and turned into countless blood-colored thunder beads floating in all directions!
But in the next moment, these lightning beads exploded at the same time, turning into an even more violent thunder wave that swept across!
Xue'er's face turned pale, the true energy in her body vibrated violently, the starlight on the surface of the Xuanbing Dao Armor dimmed by three points, and the Five Elements Dao Realm darkened.

"not good!"

Xue'er sensed the residual power of the thunder tribulation approaching, and the purple gold token in her arms suddenly shone brightly. The token's shadow floated into the air, blocking the most destructive wave of thunder!
"boom--!"

The Guiyuan Order sustained a fatal lightning strike, and the Dao pattern on it dimmed, but did not break.

Xue'er continued to pant, but a stronger fighting spirit burned in her eyes.

The seventh thunder is brewing!

Deep in the calamity clouds, nine blood-red fox shadows growled in unison for the first time, as if responding to the blood of the celestial fox in Xue'er's body. In the sky, thunderclouds began to condense into a huge blood-red fox head, with fangs exposed, lightning lingering, and pressure like mountains and seas overturning.

Nine blood-red fox heads opened their huge bodies, and deep in their throats, nine dark red lightnings were gathering. That was not ordinary thunder, but the "bloodline catastrophe" unique to the Sky Fox clan - the lightning contained the resentment of the ancient Sky Fox when it fell, and it was designed to kill the bloodline of the same clan!
Xue'er's pupils suddenly shrank, and the ice lotus on the nine-tailed fox suddenly blossomed. She formed seals with her hands, and the fox pattern between her eyebrows emitted a dazzling cold light, and a huge celestial fox image appeared behind her!

"Sky Fox Ancestral Shadow: Extremely Cold True Body!"

The Dharmakāya raised his head and let out a long howl to the sky. His nine fox tails spread out like glaciers. Every strand of tail hair was condensed with ten thousand years of black ice, which formed an ice crystal barrier under the thunder tribulation!
This Dharma image is a thousand feet tall, and its entire body is composed of pure demonic power and cold air interwoven together. As its nine tails dance, heaven and earth change strangely, and nine phantoms of ice lotus appear under its feet. The ice lotuses spin, and a force of extreme cold spreads out.

"boom--!"

Blood thunder is coming!
The moment the lightning struck, Xue'er's whole body shook violently, blood gushed out of her seven orifices, she gritted her teeth and withstood the blow! However, the resentment contained in the blood-colored thunder penetrated into her sea of ​​consciousness like a venomous snake, and the wailing of countless sky foxes when they fell echoed in her ears:

"There is no escape... The Sky Fox Clan is doomed to extinction!"

"give up!"

"die!"

……

Endless voices, as if coming from ancient times, carrying endless despair and curses, pointed directly at the origin of Xue'er's soul. Her sea of ​​consciousness was churning, and the green flame of the Green Lotus Soul Lamp was shaking violently, almost going out!
"How dare you, with just a little resentment, disturb my Dao heart!"

Xue'er shouted loudly, bit her tongue suddenly, and sprayed a mouthful of blood on the soul lamp!
"Blue Lotus Burning Soul, Illuminating All Evils!"

The green flame of the soul lamp suddenly surged and transformed into a huge green lotus, burning all the resentment that invaded the sea of ​​consciousness. As the green lotus spun, it released pure soul power fluctuations, dispelling the haze in the sea of ​​consciousness and making Xue'er's mind clear instantly.

However, the robbery cloud did not give her a chance to breathe -

The eighth calamity, the soul-devouring calamity thunder, is brewing.

Deep in the calamity cloud, the lightning suddenly turned from red to black, and nine dark lightning pillars came from different directions like nine dark dragons! This lightning does not hurt the body, but only devours the soul. Once hit, the soul will be annihilated instantly!

The thunderbolts were hundreds of feet thick, with inky black electric snakes wrapped around their surfaces, emitting a suffocating breath of death. They swam in the air, intertwining with each other to form a huge lightning net, blocking all retreat routes.

The world suddenly fell into a dead silence. Even the howling gale froze.

The next moment, the soul-devouring thunderbolt struck down, roaring and biting, and went straight through Xue'er's forehead! This calamity did not destroy the body, but only the soul! The power of the thunderbolt passed through all the obstacles of the magic power and directly hit Xue'er's sea of ​​consciousness.

The Green Lotus Soul Lantern in Xue'er's Sea of ​​Consciousness took the initiative to protect its master. The flame of the lantern suddenly surged and turned into a huge green lotus barrier to protect its master from harm.

However, the soul-devouring thunder was so terrifying that the Green Lotus Barrier was shattered by a single strike.

Xue'er's eyes suddenly shrank, and in her sea of ​​consciousness, the Green Lotus Soul Lamp cracked into several fine cracks, and the flame was almost extinguished by the thunder. Her soul was like being stabbed by thousands of blades, and each black thunder turned into a hideous evil ghost, tearing at her soul, as if to tear her consciousness apart completely!
"what--!"

Xue'er screamed in pain towards the sky, blood oozing from all her orifices, her silver hair dancing wildly, and the demonic power around her ran wildly without control. The ice lotus on her nine-tailed fox shattered piece by piece, her black ice armor became completely dim, the aura of the five elements talisman dissipated, and even the Purple Gold Return to Origin Order wailed, as if it could not withstand this calamity that was designed to destroy the soul!

“…Is he going to die?”

While her consciousness was blurred, Xue'er seemed to see countless dead fox souls staring at her in the darkness. Those of her fellow foxes who had perished in the heavenly calamity were waiting for her destruction with a sneer on their faces.

however--

At the moment when Xue'er's soul was about to be devoured by the black thunder, deep in the sea of ​​consciousness,

"Om-!"

In the depths of Xue’er’s sea of ​​consciousness, a point of chaotic starlight suddenly lit up!
The starlight was as weak as a firefly at first, but it expanded in an instant and turned into a vast sea of ​​stars! In the sea of ​​stars, a slender figure slowly stepped out, with fluttering white clothes, black hair like ink, eyes like the abyss, and a chaotic aura entwined around him, as if he was beyond all the ways! ——Li Mu!
To be precise, it was Li Mu who was watching the disaster outside who took action. A mark of chaos left in Xue'er's soul sensed her life-and-death crisis, so he had to take action himself.

Li Mu's soul turned into a giant that was thousands of feet tall and came stepping on the stars. With a thought, thousands of stars shone in his sea of ​​consciousness. Those black thunder evil spirits that were biting Xue'er's soul were instantly entangled by the chains that flew out of the endless star power!
"What are you still standing there for? Hold on to the Yuan and concentrate on Oneness, gather your souls and transform them into stars!" Li Mu reminded.

Xue'er woke up suddenly, and endured the severe pain in her soul. She clasped her hands together and hurriedly practiced the "Nebula Observation Method" spiritual power. Her broken sea of ​​consciousness suddenly surged, and countless soul fragments rolled back like meteors, and re-condensed under the guidance of the chaotic starlight!

"Concentrate your soul into a star and illuminate your true self!"

Soon, Xue'er's originally shattered sea of ​​consciousness and countless soul fragments gathered inward and turned into a dazzling core of light. The light core was only the size of a grain of rice at first, but it madly devoured the surrounding star power and thunder power, and expanded rapidly!

Seeing this, Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief, and with an idea, he released the restraint on the thunder.

Endless thunder broke free from its restraints and instantly rushed towards Xue'er's star soul. It was forcibly dragged into this light core and became the nourishment for tempering the stars!

In an instant, countless fine lightning flashes appeared on the surface of the star core, shaking violently, like a star about to explode. Xue'er's consciousness gradually became blurred, and she felt that she was turning into a star - cold, vast, and eternal.

Xue'er's sea of ​​consciousness completely collapsed, and in its place was a blazing star! This star was silver-blue, with terrifying star flames burning on the surface, but it contained an extremely cold force inside, with ice and fire intertwined to form a strange balance.

Star Soul!

The power of the eighth soul-devouring thunderbolt was completely aroused. The nine black thunderbolts could no longer attack Xue'er's soul. Instead, they were devoured by the new star! The lightning was like a dragon, entwining the star. Every time it struck, it made the star more solid and more brilliant!
Xue'er successfully survived the eighth tribulation, however, the tribulation cloud seemed to be enraged, and the ninth tribulation thunder quietly descended, eclipsing the sky and earth.

The calamity clouds, which had been raging violently, suddenly stopped at this moment. There was an eerie silence, as if the whole world was holding its breath, waiting for the arrival of the ninth thunder calamity.

The blood-red fox head let out a low whine from the depths of the calamity cloud. Above the sky, the sea of ​​thunder surged like ink, but it no longer roared. Instead, it slowly and strangely began to rotate, forming a huge vortex.

In the center of the vortex, a dark abyss of thunder slowly condensed - it had no color, as if it had swallowed up all light and vitality; it had no sound, but it made people's hearts stop and their souls tremble; it had no shape, but it made all things submit and the world lose order!
On the Tribulation Platform, the thousand-foot-tall nine-tailed snow fox opened its eyes and stared at the thunderclouds above its head. There was no fear in its eyes at all.

Dozens of miles away from the Tribulation Platform, all the high-ranking members of the Seven Profound Sects gathered together. More than a dozen of them stared at the thunderclouds in fear, their faces filled with shock and fear.

Lin Maoshan, Su Hongxiu, Zhao Tianchen and the others all looked at a young man near the Tribulation Platform. It was their master - Li Mu.

The old master stood quietly below the tribulation platform, with his hands clasped together, as if he was performing a secret technique.

He was dressed in a blue shirt, his sleeves fluttering like clouds in the wind, his long black hair fluttering in the wind, but it could not hide his eyes as deep as the abyss - in them seemed to hide the eternal galaxy, the chaos was not yet divided, the world was not yet determined.

At this moment, the heaven and earth are in turmoil, and the ninth thunder tribulation is about to fall, but he seems to be untainted by the dust, standing calmly, like a strand of cause and effect that transcends the mysteries of heaven, neither in the tribulation nor outside of it.

His figure seems thin, but in fact it is integrated with the heaven and earth. A deep aura of chaos lingers around him - that is the original power that existed earlier than the heaven and earth. It is invisible and formless, but it can swallow up all things and evolve the heavens. Faintly visible Tao patterns emerge in the void, outlining extremely mysterious scenes.

"Master, it seems like he is helping my Master's Wife to overcome the calamity!" Su Hongxiu sensed something and said in shock.

“How is it possible!” Lin Maoshan’s eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, and he said in shock: “If an outsider helps the robber to overcome the tribulation, isn’t that a taboo of heaven? It will definitely trigger the ‘punishment of heaven’, and the power of the tribulation thunder will increase several times! What’s more... the thunder tribulation that Master’s wife is overcoming is the Demon King’s thunder tribulation, which is extremely powerful. How dare he get involved!”

"It's true. Master has used some magic to hide it from heaven and is helping Master's wife to overcome the calamity!" Zhao Tianchen boldly extended a ray of spiritual consciousness and sensed the situation of Li Mu's spellcasting, to be exact.

Lin Maoshan didn't believe it, and risking his soul being affected by the lightning, he also released a ray of spiritual consciousness to investigate.

However, when his spiritual consciousness touched Li Mu's body, he seemed to have crashed into an endless chaos. There was neither heaven nor earth, no past nor future, only the flowing of the boundless rhyme of Tao, which seemed real and illusory!

“This… what kind of realm is this?!” Lin Maoshan’s mind was shaken, his consciousness seemed to fall into the abyss, and he was almost lost in it.

At this moment, Li Mu seemed to sense something. He turned his head slightly, and his eyes were as deep as the abyss, sweeping over lightly.

"Don't pry."

Just four words, but like an order from heaven, Lin Maoshan's consciousness was instantly repelled, and he staggered back several steps, his face pale and sweat dripping down his forehead.

"Senior Brother!" Su Hongxiu hurriedly supported him.

“Don’t look directly at it… Don’t speculate…” Lin Maoshan murmured, his eyes full of shock, “Master’s Dao is beyond our comprehension!”

-

At the same time, deep in the calamity cloud, the pitch-black thunder finally condensed completely and struck down silently!

The dark thunder fell slowly, seemingly slowly, but it seemed to have crossed the boundaries of time and space. The moment it appeared, it was already overhead!
"boom--!"

Silence is better than sound.

All sounds between heaven and earth disappeared. The wind stopped, the thunder stopped, and even the air stopped flowing. At that moment, it seemed as if the whole world had fallen into deathly silence.

The thunder fell on Xue'er, without exploding or roaring, but just quietly devouring everything. Her body was instantly wrapped in black lightning, as if crushed by an invisible force. Her flesh, blood, bones, demonic power, and soul were all on the verge of collapse at this moment!
In the sea of ​​consciousness, the soul that was as stable as a star was actually shaking violently by the thunder, and it seemed that it would disintegrate at any time.

"..."

Xueer opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but no sound came out.

She felt an unprecedented sense of oppression - this was not destruction, but annihilation. It was not the destruction of your existence, but the fact that you had never existed.

This calamity is invisible and intangible, and it points directly to the heart of Tao!
In an instant, Xue'er's consciousness was pulled into the thunder illusion. (End of this chapter)
