I gain permanent defense when attacked; even gods and demons can't hurt me.

Just as Chen Qingxuan was saying these things to him, a rapid whooshing sound came from the distant horizon.

It turned out to be Chen Qingxuan's disciples and military subordinates, who arrived late, panting heavily.

There was no way around it; Chen Qingxuan's cultivation level was simply too high. He used the Shrinking Earth Technique to arrive beside Lin Yuan in an instant.

Although these subordinates were also over level 60, compared to Chen Qingxuan's speed, they were practically crawling like turtles, and could only desperately try to catch up.

After landing, the group was once again deeply shocked by the horrific scene created by Lin Yuan, seeing the corpses of high-level demons scattered all over the ground.

After briefly greeting everyone, Lin Yuan didn't rest. He began to quickly clean up the devastated Death Basin.

He had not forgotten Gu Zhi's repeated instructions before coming to the Abyss Battlefield.

Lin Yuan moved with great skill through the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, carrying specialized dissection tools in his hands.

He picked out the half-dragon corpses and deftly and carefully peeled off their intact bones, uncorroded hard scales, and the abyssal dragon crystals containing immense energy.

These materials, radiating a rich abyssal dragon aura, would be priceless treasures in the outside world.

After carefully collecting all the dragon materials, a huge amount of mangled monster flesh and blood, as well as broken crystal cores scattered all over the ground, remained at the scene.

Although these items may not fetch a high price, the blood energy they contain is still quite astonishing.

Lin Yuan glanced at the "buffet" spread all over the ground and a smile appeared on his lips.

With a thought, he opened the beast-taming space between his brows. "Little Black, come out and eat! I'll let you eat your fill today!"

With Lin Yuan's call, a streak of black and gold light shot into the sky.

After summoning Xiao Hei from the Beast Taming Space, the five-clawed black dragon, which was already at the peak of its advancement stage, looked at the blood and flesh essence covering the mountains and plains in front of it and its eyes shone with excitement.

Little Black let out a deafening roar of excitement, circled once in mid-air, and then suddenly opened its abyssal maw and swallowed it whole!

call--!

A violent energy hurricane instantly swept through the basin.

Like a bottomless black hole, Little Black transformed the highly beneficial essence of flesh and blood and the broken crystal cores into torrents, swallowing them all into its belly.

Under this unrestrained and frenzied eating, Xiao Hei's aura began to rise at a visible speed!

After continuously absorbing a large amount of the high-purity bloodline essence of the half-dragons, as well as the enormous energy left behind by tens of thousands of magical beasts in this basin.

Xiao Hei's body has finally reached a critical point where it can no longer bear the strain!

"Roar!!"

Suddenly, Little Black stopped devouring and let out a high-pitched roar mixed with pain!

Immediately afterwards, its dragon body tumbled violently in mid-air, its scales standing on end, and a dense, almost tangible black-gold light burst forth from its body.

Looking at the little black creature radiating black and gold light in the sky, Lin Yuan's eyes became incredibly fervent.

This is an advancement!

However, just as Lin Yuan, Chen Qingxuan, and the others held their breath, anticipating what Xiao Hei would look like after its advancement.

Another anomaly has struck!

The perpetually lingering poisonous miasma above the Burial Grounds was suddenly torn apart by a mighty force that was absolutely not of this world!

Above the sky, the wind and clouds change color.

A terrifying pressure, so oppressive that it made it hard to breathe, suddenly descended!

Countless purplish-black, violent thunderclouds, as if drawn by some forbidden force, began to gather above Xiao Hei.

The might of Heaven is overwhelming; tribulation lightning is imminent!

A cataclysmic event, capable of destroying everything, is brewing mercilessly!

Seeing the dark purple destructive lightning gathering wildly in the sky, Chen Qingxuan, who had just landed next to Lin Yuan, had his expression change drastically.

He stared intently at the oppressive vortex of thunderclouds above his head, exclaiming in shock, "This...this is the Ninefold Purple Heaven Thunder Tribulation!"

Upon hearing this unfamiliar term, Lin Yuan turned his head in confusion.

Chen Qingxuan looked very serious, took a deep breath, and began to explain to Lin Yuan in detail the division of the Abyss Tribulation.

"Young Lin, listen carefully. All things in the world that break through the limits of their bloodline will be tested by the laws of heaven, and this is the tribulation of lightning."

Chen Qingxuan pointed to the sky and said in a deep voice, "Normally speaking, when ordinary high-level magical beasts advance, they only attract the lowest level of [Triple Azure Lightning Tribulation]."

"This kind of heavenly tribulation consists of three ordinary cyan lightning bolts. Although it is dangerous, as long as you have a solid foundation, it is not too difficult to withstand."

"Above the Azure Thunder Heavenly Tribulation is the [Sixfold Demonic Tribulation]. This level of lightning tribulation is only encountered by abyssal behemoths with lord-level or royal bloodlines when breaking through to the next level of life."

Chen Qingxuan paused for a moment: "Take Zi Jiuyou, who just escaped, for example. When he was trying to break through to level 90, he experienced the Six-Nine Demonic Tribulation."

"A total of fifty-four jet-black demonic lightning bolts, powerful enough to level mountains and rivers and annihilate countless powerful figures on the spot."

At this point, a hint of undisguised shock flashed in Chen Qingxuan's eyes, "However, what your tamed beast has now attracted is the highest level [Ninefold Purple Heaven Thunder Tribulation]!"

"A full eighty-one bolts of Purple Heaven Divine Lightning, each containing the law of destruction!"

Chen Qingxuan shook his head with a wry smile: "I've lived for so long, and I've seen countless amazing demons undergoing tribulations in the Abyss Battlefield."

"But I have never seen a beast that needs to undergo such supreme divine punishment merely to transition from infancy to adulthood!"

"Legend has it that only ancient divine beasts whose bloodline concentration reaches its peak, even surpassing the boundaries of mortals, will attract such a tribulation lightning strike during their breakthrough!"

Chen Qingxuan's gaze became incredibly profound: "Because of the Heavenly Dao laws here, or the underlying will of this abyss."

"They simply won't allow such beings to be born smoothly. This tribulation isn't a test; it's purely for annihilation!"

After listening to his mentor's explanation and looking at the terrifying thunder brewing in the sky, Lin Yuan frowned deeply.

With only the foundation that Xiao Hei has just reached the threshold of the growth stage, it would be an understatement to say that he would die ten times out of ten, or even nine times out of ten, of the possible deaths.

Even more deadly is that this earth-shattering lightning tribulation phenomenon has attracted all the abyssal demonic beasts within hundreds of miles of the Burial Grounds.

Countless pairs of greedy, scarlet eyes shone brightly in the dark, poisonous miasma surrounding the basin. These monsters did not launch an attack but waited on the periphery.

They are waiting for Xiao Hei to be unable to survive the lightning tribulation and be struck dead, or to survive by chance but be severely injured and in a weakened state!
