"Buzz"

Liu Yuan closed his eyes, focusing his five centers towards the center.

The soul pattern of the fifth soul ring was slowly extracted, and the natal weapon of the martial soul hidden in the body was also activated.

Like the rustling of willow branches, he skillfully integrated the fifth soul rune into the Origin Willow Natal Weapon. However, the Martial Soul Natal Weapon as a whole did not undergo much change.

Only one willow leaf was an exception.

Those were willow leaves that Liu Yuan plucked, which transformed into the Origin Willow clone and planted in the undead demiplane. It was originally a physical entity, but after being plucked, it became empty.

But when the undead creatures provided the power of faith, a patch of willow leaves, radiating white light, formed at that location. It seemed illusory, but it was actually real.

However, with the integration of the fifth soul rune, the so-called illusion seemed to be imprisoned by a solid framework, just like adding veins to a willow leaf.

When he reached this point, Old Song and the others in the area all became alert.

Because this means that a tribulation of lightning is about to begin.

"retreat!"

After letting out a low shout, Old Song waved his hand, and a powerful surge of soul force swept up Di Qiu'er and Ma Xiaotao, pulling them away from the mountain peak where Liu Yuan was located.

If they were caught in the crossfire and the lightning tribulation swept them up, it wouldn't be a good thing.

Just then, a loud rumble...

The sound was like thunder, shaking all directions!

At this moment, neither Ma Xiaotao, Di Qiu'er, nor Old Song looked relaxed.

They all looked up.

"They're here!"

Ma Xiaotao looked serious.

As someone who has personally experienced it, she knows all too well how terrifying the lightning tribulation is and that it should never be underestimated!

Just then, Liu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes!

He stood up abruptly, his gaze sharp as he looked up at the sky, which was already covered with thunderclouds.

His long, waterfall-like hair, like the willow branches of the Yuanliu tree behind him, was flying wildly as his aura exploded out!

The next second, "Boom!"

Purple lightning descended from the sky, striking him!

Endless lightning engulfed Liu Yuan in an instant, turning the world into a purple expanse, like a lake of purple lightning, which looked extremely terrifying.

"Such immense power!"

Ma Xiaotao was dumbfounded. This was even more terrifying than the lightning tribulation that occurred when she merged with her sixth soul rune.

All that could be seen was a surge of lightning and a torrent of thunder, which shattered the air and turned it into a vacuum wherever it passed.

The deafening thunder was like the divine drum of heaven and earth; with each explosion, it seemed to pierce the eardrums and shatter the soul.

The lightning tribulation connected heaven and earth, cascading down like a magnificent waterfall, resembling the Milky Way falling from the ninth heaven.

"war!"

Liu Yuan threw a punch, his tiny fist colliding with the torrential waterfall of lightning!

"Boom boom boom—"

'

The power of the lightning tribulation depends on a person's strength and talent. In less than half a minute, Liu Yuan, submerged in the lightning lake, was severely injured, his flesh torn apart by flashes of lightning. Even after undergoing the Ice and Fire Refinement Body, he could not withstand the destruction brought by the lightning tribulation.

It looked like it had been punched right through; some wounds were even deep enough to expose the bone, with bright red blood flowing out.

However, this tribulation of lightning actually stimulated the vigorous life force within Liu Yuan's body. As soon as his flesh was blurred and damaged, these injuries rapidly healed under the surge of life force.

Liu Yuan's blood and energy surged to the sky, showing no signs of decline, but instead soaring high!

"Let's continue!"

"roar"

Liu Yuancang roared powerfully!

Moon's "Reign Supreme" technique was transmitted through sound waves. With a roar, a bolt of lightning was completely shattered, turning into free ions.

Immediately afterwards, he threw a backhand punch!

He still didn't use his martial spirit, only his purest physical strength.

With a single punch, the lightning dissipated, the fist blade turned to charcoal, and beneath the gruesome wound lay stark white bone.

"happy!"

Liu Yuan grinned and threw another punch with his backhand, like a meteor shower, as if he were clashing with the heavens and earth!

He seems oblivious to pain now.

Thunderous energy erupted, and fist shadows flashed—

The blurred flesh turned into charcoal.

"Come on! Let's do something even tougher!"

Perhaps it was the awakening of the reckless genes hidden within him, but when he was fighting the lightning tribulation to the point of ecstasy, Liu Yuan instinctively roared at the sky, his long hair flying wildly.

then--

"Boom!"

At that moment, heaven and earth seemed to respond.

Want to go even further? Want to show off?

No problem, I'll grant your wish!

The next second, the lightning formed a sphere, shining with an intense white light, like tiny suns brewing above.

Seeing this, Liu Yuan's rationality returned instantly, and the reckless genes that had just been revealed were immediately suppressed. He was completely dumbfounded!

"Ball lightning!?"

"no?!"

"I told you to go all out, and you actually did it!?"

Liu Yuan's face was filled with disbelief.

(Heaven and Earth: What else? You are the child of nature. Since you insist, we will give it to you!)

Silently, several ball lightning bolts slowly descended.

Seeing this, Liu Yuan dared not be careless in the slightest. This time, he dared not rely on his physical strength to take the hit again.

The martial spirit takes root and draws on the earth's vital energy.

at the same time--

"Wooden Dragon!"

With his hands clasped together, the ground beneath his feet cracked open, and ancient wooden dragons coiled around Liu Yuan's body.

"go!"

At a command, the wooden dragons flew out in unison. With each snap of their jaws, they bit directly at the incoming ball of lightning. But the moment they made contact, the terrifying heat instantly turned the wooden dragons into charred remains.

With just a light touch, the charcoal-covered dragon was completely reduced to ashes.

It can be said that under the powerful lightning tribulation, the strength that the ultimate attribute should have is completely invisible.

With the passing of the ball lightning hurdle, the arrival of the next wave of lightning caused the heavens and earth to tremble. Ten thousand feet of purple light intertwined and pierced through the sky, forming a purple dragon.

Just as Di Qiu'er and the others held their breath and watched quietly, a wooden dragon suddenly rose into the air beneath Liu Yuan's feet, and he himself rushed straight towards it.

"boom"

Such a thrilling scene left Di Qiu'er and the others in a state of shock and uncertainty, fearing that something might happen to Liu Yuan.

Bathed in lightning, Liu Yuan persevered through each challenge, every step seemingly fraught with peril. Though he suffered severe injuries each time, it appeared as if he was constantly in grave danger.

Gradually, Di Qiu'er and the others stopped being anxious and started talking about it with great interest.

"Why are there so many different kinds of lightning tribulations for Liu Yuan?" Ma Xiaotao clicked her tongue in curiosity.

"You should call him 'Uncle-Master'."

Seemingly having learned Liu Yuan's cunning, Di Qiu'er simply turned her head to the side and corrected Ma Xiaotao in a calm tone, leaving her speechless.

Then, in his usual unhurried tone, he said, "Are you envious of all these different kinds of lightning tribulations?"

After saying that, he turned his gaze back to the horizon.

He thought to himself, "This tribulation is truly something else! Unlike the ordinary tribulations faced by other soul beasts. I wonder why?"

Meanwhile, on the other side, Ma Xiaotao was asked a question by Di Qiu'er.

envious?

She couldn't help but look up at the sky, and when she saw Liu Yuan's miserable state, she couldn't help but shudder.

Haha, she's not envious at all!

If it were me at the same level, I doubt I could survive the fifth round of this tribulation.

She even had reason to suspect that Liu Yuan might have done something wrong to Heaven and Earth. Otherwise, all these different kinds of lightning tribulations would just be a sign that the rules of Heaven and Earth were being too harsh.

(Heaven and Earth: Are you being too harsh? Don't you know what it means to be a gem if you don't carve it? This is for his own good!)

"Boom!"

The lightning continued to fall.

Round six, round seven, round eight—

As Liu Yuan passed through each trial, the final and most terrifying tribulation was brewing.

"Holy crap! Is it really that ruthless!?"

After the eighth round of lightning tribulation ended, Liu Yuan's entire body was a bloody mess, with bones visible deep inside. However, given such injuries, the life force within his body was too weak to repair itself in time.

Unless, of course, the gold of living beings is used.

In reality, Liu Yuan did just that.

The martial spirit's innate weapon source, Liu Yuan, danced, its branches wrapping around Liu Yuan and rapidly healing his injuries.

However, at that moment, "rumble!"

The final round of tribulation lightning has arrived.

The dark clouds resembled the night sky, and the lightning resembled countless stars adorning the sky; together they formed a dazzling star map.

Liu Yuan looked up at the sky, his mind reaching its peak alertness at that moment.

The next second, the Thunder Star Chart suddenly fell!

With great fanfare, they locked onto Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan remained unfazed, and with a light snort, said, "Go!"

The natal soldier, already rooted in the ground, instantly transformed into a colossal willow reaching to the heavens. Thousands of branches swayed, forming a vast net that, adorned with willow leaves, resembled a star map.

Under Liu Yuan's control, Yuan Liu rapidly rose and crashed straight into the descending Lei Hai Xing Tu!

"boom""

A terrifying collision erupted at that moment!

The willow branches facing the Thunder Star Chart were instantly engulfed by the sky full of lightning and shattered in an instant!

The powerful Thunder Sea Star Chart continued its relentless assault on Yuan Liu, shattering his natal weapon into countless fragments that drifted between heaven and earth with the lightning.

These fragments did not scatter along with the shattering of the Martial Soul Weapon. Because right behind Liu Yuan, a Source Willow composed of Soul Patterns revealed its true form, proving that the essence of the Martial Soul Weapon had not been destroyed.

Upon seeing this, Liu Yuan's brow furrowed.

"Gather!"

Soul power activates the soul patterns forged into artifacts.

The essence of a martial soul's natal weapon is that with just a slight movement, the wandering fragments are like a wanderer returning home.

"Buzzing—"

'

The fragments trembled slightly, and after only a moment, the Martial Soul's natal weapon was restored to its original state. Whether it was the willow leaf representing faith, or the regenerative ability of the golden ancient tree—

as always.

Moreover, under the tribulation of lightning, it became more solid, and its connection with heaven and earth became closer.

"It's over—"

Liu Yuan looked up at the sky, lost in thought.

Just as the thought settled in his mind, the primordial energy of heaven and earth and the life energy began to converge and then surged directly into Liu Yuan's body.

Even with each breath, a rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth would overflow.

In less than a minute, the soul power he hadn't had time to recover was completely replenished.

The injuries were so severe that even with a continuous infusion of life energy, it would still take some time to heal.

But regardless, this tribulation has been completely overcome.

"call""

Liu Yuan exhaled a breath of stale air.

Just as he was storing his Martial Soul and Natal Weapon into his dantian, Di Qiu'er and the others came over after seeing that the tribulation had ended. Seeing that he was alright, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Liu Yuan smiled and said, "Next, it's your turn."

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao was about to step forward, but Di Qiu'er stopped her with a hand gesture, saying, "Let me go first."

"In that case, you can go first."

Seeing Di Qiu'er begin refining the soul runes, Ma Xiaotao and the others quickly retreated. Before leaving, Liu Yuan added with concern, "Be careful."

In his view, even if Di Qiu'er's tribulation lightning was not stronger than his, it was definitely not much weaker.

Di Qiu'er nodded slightly. "Don't worry."

Having witnessed Liu Yuan's tribulation, she already had a plan in mind, holding a similar view to Liu Yuan's. That is, if the power of the tribulation was the same as the one Liu Yuan experienced, she would only have a 50% chance of success.

Fortunately, although the power of her tribulation was strong and exceeded Ma Xiaotao's expectations, it was not as severe as what Liu Yuan had experienced.

"Boom—"

'

The sky cracked open, and the torrent of lightning, like a celestial river bursting its banks, crashed down upon Di Qiu'er.

"Good heavens—" Liu Yuan, standing at a distance, couldn't help but gasp in amazement as he watched the scene Di Qiu'er was going through.

That's really terrifying!

He turned to Ma Xiaotao and asked, "Is this what I just experienced?"

Ma Xiaotao shook her head. "No."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuan frowned slightly, thinking that his own tribulation lightning was less powerful than this. However, Ma Xiaotao, as if she were taking a deep breath, added a sentence after a long while.

"Your lightning tribulation is more powerful."

She paused for a moment, then added, "It's at least 30% bigger."

Oh? Is that so?

Liu Yuan pondered to himself.

Experiencing something firsthand and observing it from the sidelines are two completely different things.

Just as the two were talking, Di Qiu'er had already survived seven rounds of lightning tribulations, but her condition was not good; her entire body was covered in wounds.

Because Liu Yuan is different from her, possessing both vigorous vitality and the aid of the life-giving metal, even with numerous wounds, Liu Yuan can still recover quickly.

On the other hand, what about Di Qiu'er?

They could only rely on their physical constitution to tough it out.

Fortunately, the Overlord Domain was powerful, directly isolating the pain while occasionally triggering critical hits.

A single golden dragon ascending to the heavens can swallow the incoming thunder dragon and push back the remaining lightning tribulation.

It wasn't until the nine rounds of lightning tribulation had passed that Di Qiu'er finally calmed down.

Liu Yuan and the others rushed forward, but under the immense gathering of heaven and earth energy, they could not see the situation clearly.

Just in case, and to facilitate treatment at the same time.

Liu Yuan waved his hand, and casually used willow branches to surround Di Qiu'er.

Drawing upon the earth's vital energy and the life force of the surrounding plants, Di Qiu'er's recovery speed was accelerated once again.

"Qiu'er, how is it?"

"fine."

Di Qiu'er's calm voice rang in Liu Yuan's ears, "The bones are no longer visible, but the flesh has been torn open, and the wound is still turned outwards."

That's alright.

But it seems that what I've done isn't enough.

Liu Yuan nodded to himself.

"Then I'll give it my all."

He realized that with Di Qiu'er's current injuries, his self-created method of using the "absorption" soul skill to "reverse push" out and infuse life force might not be enough to heal her quickly.

Then, a thought struck him.

The Martial Soul's natal weapon, "Source Willow," took root in the earth. Without dispersing the previous willow branches, the branches directly wrapped around Di Qiu'er, forming a cocoon and releasing a tiny trace of the immense life force contained in its life-gold material.

In less than three breaths, I was all better.

From inside the cocoon came Di Qiu'er's voice. Upon hearing this, Liu Yuan quickly retracted the willow branch. When he looked over, he found that Di Qiu'er had fully recovered.

"Finish."

As soon as Liu Yuan finished work, the two of them turned their attention to Ma Xiaotao.

"Nephew, it's your turn."

Fifteen minutes later, all three of them had completed their tribulations.

Having achieved their objective, the three naturally didn't linger in Thunder Valley. They decided to rest briefly for one night in the Nine Dragons Mountains before returning to Shrek Academy.

In the middle of the night, Liu Yuan came alone to the outside of the small house he had built and looked up at the brilliant starry sky.

Suddenly, a noise came from behind.

Why aren't you resting yet?

Liu Yuan asked.

He didn't turn around because he knew who it was.

"You didn't rest either."

Di Qiu'er remained calm and went straight to sit down next to Liu Yuan.

"I think I was struck by lightning and lost my mind."

Me too.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuan turned his head and looked at Di Qiu'er with a strange expression. Because what he had just said wasn't a joke; he genuinely believed it.

Since it was almost midnight, he simply stayed up until then, waiting for the task to refresh.

how about you?

Noticing Liu Yuan's gaze, Di Qiu'er met his eyes. "What? You don't believe me?"

Looking into those clear eyes, "I believe you, of course I believe you!"

Liu Yuan turned his head back.

Because they had to keep in mind that Old Master Song was in the room and Xuanzi was also in the shadows, Liu Yuan and Di Qiu'er didn't talk about anything too intimate. They just chatted casually to pass the time.

It wasn't until midnight.

Liu Yuan silently ended the chat, and with a thought, brought up the platform panel.

He looked at today's tasks, but this time, before Liu Yuan could even refresh the task interface, he saw a task that made his eyes light up and his heart pound.

【Task Two (The Incompetent Elder Brother): We are merely remnant souls, powerless to intervene, but we beg you to save this unborn dragon egg (Valid Time: One and a half months); Reward: First Generation Holy Dragon King's External Divine Bone Judgment Dragon Wings (Unchangeable)】

The first Holy Dragon King?!

External divine bone—the Wings of Judgment?!

Upon seeing this reward, Liu Yuan was greatly shocked!

Although he had only skimmed through the entire "Legend of the Dragon King," he remembered some details. One such detail was that the Dragon God, who was still alive, seemed to have nine sons, known as the Nine Dragon Kings.

Aside from the two rather special Dragon Kings, the remaining seven represent the seven elements: water, fire, earth, wind, space, darkness, and light. He knew very well that the Earth Dragon King was the source of Xuanzi's martial soul, the Taotie Divine Ox.

As for the Holy Dragon King—

Based on Liu Yuan's speculation, he should be the Light Dragon King among the Seven Elemental Dragon Kings. After all, holiness and light are inseparable, with the former evolving from the latter.

And the cultivation level of the first Holy Dragon King—

Although Liu Yuan didn't know exactly how powerful they were in life, they were at least first-level gods.

A piece of external divine bone from at least a first-level deity—Liu Yuan was extremely envious of this deal.

This is the task—

Save a dragon egg that is about to die.

Liu Yuan wasn't sure if he could do it.

Of course, if the task hadn't already indicated that the task issuer was a remnant soul who was powerless to help, Liu Yuan wouldn't have even considered it and would have given up immediately.

After all, even gods can't do it, so how can we expect humans to?

However, given the current situation, Liu Yuan, who possesses the Gold of Life, felt he could give it a try. If all else failed, there was always his teacher, Electrolux.

Even if you fail, there's no penalty; at most, the person who issued the task will have to reissue it.

After much deliberation—

Dry!

He's determined to have the external divine bone of the first Holy Dragon King!

Suddenly, Liu Yuan stood up. His sudden movement almost startled Di Qiu'er.

Once she was sure there was no danger around and had calmed down, she asked, "What are you doing?"

"Nothing."

Liu Yuan's upturned lips were barely concealed, and he quickly said, "Alright, I need to rest."

"Qiu'er, you should get some rest too."

With that, he turned around gracefully and quickened his pace towards the hut. A short while later, the sound of the door closing softly came from inside.

Di Qiu'er: ? ? ?

Now, a series of invisible question marks are popping up in her head, leaving her completely baffled.

What's wrong with Liu Yuan?

What could have happened to you?

Otherwise, why would there be such a sudden and strong reaction?

At this moment, for the first time, Di Qiu'er's usually calm eyes were filled with doubt.

I have absolutely no idea what's wrong with Liu Yuan.

After a moment's thought, Di Qiu'er silently sat down in the seat Liu Yuan had just occupied, mimicking his posture and following his gaze—

Hmm, I didn't find anything.

At this moment, Xuanzi, who was hiding in the shadows, also glanced at it.

Are the young couple arguing?

Forget it, this isn't his responsibility.

Pretending not to see, he took out an oil paper package from his pocket and silently took out a chicken leg from it.

Mmm—it smells good!

Really fragrant!

Old Song, who also noticed the commotion: ————

Young people, it's normal to have some minor conflicts.

It's a trivial matter, no need to worry about it.

Meanwhile, Liu Yuan had already returned to his room.

As soon as he sat down on the bed, Liu Yuan opened the platform panel. Although there was still a month and a half to go, he didn't hesitate at all and clicked "Claim." Because in this situation of saving the egg, the sooner the better.

If we delay, the dragon egg's condition may worsen, making the rescue efforts even more difficult.

The next second, Liu Yuan's figure was enveloped in colorful light.

At the same time, the platform sent a message: [Ding! Detected life force fluctuations nearby. Shielding mode activated, obscuring perception—handled successfully.]

As Liu Yuan disappeared from the room, an invisible energy enveloped the entire room. Neither Elder Song nor Xuanzi, nor Di Qiu'er who had not yet rested, nor Ma Xiaotao who had already rested, noticed anything unusual.
