After the spiritual energy was restored: Goddess girlfriends came knocking.

Chen Jingyuan stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping calmly over Yu Sheng.

"Little bird," he said calmly, "this kid has a connection with me, I'll protect him."

Yu Sheng's fingers tightened slightly as he gripped the golden lightning spear.

Little bird.

He couldn't remember how many years it had been since anyone dared to call him that name.

But he didn't react; he just stared at Chen Jingyuan with a gloomy expression for a while, then snorted without refuting.

That's considered an implicit agreement.

Su Zhengxing frowned, his gaze sweeping back and forth between Chen Jingyuan and Jiang Yan.

Then, he exchanged a glance with Yu Sheng. Yu Sheng saw the same plan in Su Zhengxing's eyes. Chen Jingyuan only said to protect Jiang Yan, but he didn't mention protecting the two dragons in the sky.

As long as the final lightning strikes, even if they attack simultaneously, Cang Yao and Ao Tianxin will still be doomed.

The two began to gather their strength again.

The golden lightning spear solidified once more, and the ancient characters on the bamboo slips lit up one by one.

Seeing this, Chen Jingyuan sighed.

Without him making any move, a thick Daoist aura surged from his body, as heavy as a mountain, pressing down on Yu Sheng and Su Zhengxing.

The combined full force of their attack was abruptly shattered by the overwhelming pressure emanating from them.

Yu Sheng's face was as white as paper.

Su Zhengxing's forehead was covered in a fine layer of cold sweat.

"I just realized." Chen Jingyuan withdrew his hand, his gaze fixed on the dragon shadows in the two seas of lightning in the clouds, a subtle complexity in his tone, "That little girl up there seems to have some connection with me as well."

Su Zhengxing suddenly raised his head, a look of disbelief flashing in his eyes.

He gritted his teeth and spoke, his voice filled with suppressed anger: "Senior Chen, those above are dragons! You haven't forgotten how the dragons led the demons to wreak havoc on our human race back then, have you?"

Chen Jingyuan looked at him calmly.

"So I won't actively help them overcome their tribulations," he said. "If they fail, it's simply their fate."

Su Zhengxing opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but Chen Jingyuan was no longer looking at him.

Yu Sheng slowly loosened his tightly clenched fist.

Chen Jingyuan is becoming increasingly terrifying.

He could have easily ascended thousands of years ago, but he has been lingering in the Xuan Tian Realm ever since.

What is he waiting for?

But at this moment, Yu Sheng had no time to speculate.

The sheer pressure alone was enough to completely dispel his thoughts of taking action.

Above the clouds, the oppressive force of the final tribulation lightning had reached its peak.

At this moment, not only the Vast Domain, but also the Myriad Demon Domain and the Upper Pure Domain, all of whom were at the Mahayana level or above, sensed the aura of the tribulation lightning here.

Countless gazes were simultaneously cast toward this valley.

Deep within the clouds, dark purple lightning, imbued with righteous energy, Taoist light, and Buddhist fire, surged and intertwined within the clouds, coalescing into a colossal pillar of lightning capable of destroying the heavens and the earth.

Yu Sheng looked up at the pillar of lightning, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

This oppressive aura is so strong that even if I can't intervene right now, they probably won't be able to withstand it either.

Jiang Yan is not in the mood to think about Chen Jingyuan right now.

Ruoshui supported him as he clutched his chest and looked up at the clouds, his gaze fixed on the two dragon shadows that stubbornly raised their heads in the sea of ​​lightning.

The pillar of lightning, imbued with the Taoist aura of the three founders of religion, crashed down with a deafening roar.

The remaining Taoist essence of the three founders was compressed into this one strike.

The trail of lightning streaked across the sky, tearing the entire heavens in two.

Those powerful individuals who were observing this tribulation from afar, regardless of their cultivation level, all felt a chill emanating from the depths of their souls.

Cang Yao and Ao Tianxin hung side by side beneath the clouds.

They sensed Jiang Yan's aura below, which, though faint, had stabilized. They also sensed that the several entangled auras below had stopped colliding.

The two exchanged a glance; their vertical pupils held no fear, only determination.

A golden and blue dragon aura spread out in layers around the two of them, like a giant shield stretching across the sky.

The residual merit and fortune of Jiang Yan were wrapped in the innermost layer, turning into a pale golden barrier that intertwined and merged with the dragon breath of the two.

A bolt of lightning struck.

The first layer of dragon energy barrier was torn apart the moment it came into contact with the object, and the fragments turned into streams of light.

The second and third layers shattered one after another, followed by the fourth, fifth, and sixth layers.

Then, a pale golden barrier formed from merit and fortune stood in front, and the power of heavenly punishment collided with, canceled out, and annihilated the merit and fortune.

At this moment, the entire sky was torn apart by the collision of two forces, one half being the dark purple of lightning tribulation and the other half the pale gold of merit.

Half of the sky churned violently under the cover of a golden sea of ​​light, sweeping away the clouds that stretched for thousands of miles.

As the light gradually faded.

The two dragon shadows still hung in the sky.

They did not fall.

The thundercloud deep in the clouds began to dissipate, and a crack appeared in the middle of the thick cloud layer before receding in all directions.

The long-lost sunlight once again flooded the world.

Two golden beams of light poured down from the cracks in the clouds, enveloping Cang Yao and Ao Tianxin.

The True Dragon Tribulation has been overcome.

The scales on Cang Yao's body peeled off piece by piece, and the old scales stained with dragon blood turned into specks of stardust and dissipated in the golden light.

New scales grow rapidly, with a purer color and a warmer luster.

Ao Tianxin's dark blue scales were also falling off and regenerating.

The newly formed scales are darker and more translucent in color.

After a while.

The dragon's roar pierced through the clouds and resounded throughout the entire Xuan Tian Realm.

This is the first time in ten thousand years that a true dragon has appeared in the Xuantian Realm.

And there were two at a time.

As Jiang Yan gazed at the two figures transforming in the golden light in the sky, the corners of her mouth slowly curved upwards.

Yu Sheng and Su Zhengxing exchanged a glance, their faces so gloomy they could drip water.

The tide is gone.

Yu Sheng's figure flickered and transformed into a golden streak of light, soaring through the sky. Su Zhengxing followed closely behind, and the two streaks of light disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

As the golden light in the sky gradually dissipated.

Cang Yao and Ao Tianxin transformed back into human form and stood side by side on the clouds.

Her black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, longer than before she underwent the tribulation, and swayed gently in the wind.

The remaining golden light around him dissipated in the wind, and his exquisitely sculpted face shone with a warm, jade-like luster.

Both of them now have a very faint mark on their foreheads; Cang Yao's is a pale gold mark shaped like a dragon horn, while Ao Tianxin's is a pale blue mark shaped like a water droplet.

Without much thought, Cang Yao immediately moved, appearing in front of Jiang Yan in a flash.

She looked at Jiang Yan's white hair, raised her hand to press on the wound on his chest, but her fingers were trembling and she dared not use force.

Her eyes were filled with tears.

Jiang Yan raised his hand and gently grasped her hand that was resting on his chest: "I'm fine. My cultivation level can be restored after it drops. I can accumulate merit and luck and it will come back."

Cang Yao buried her face in his chest and sniffed hard.

Ao Tianxin stood beside Cang Yao and silently looked at Jiang Yan for a long time.

Then he looked away from his face and gazed in the direction where Yu Sheng and Su Zhengxing had disappeared.

His eyes blazed with an unprecedented killing intent.

Cang Yao leaned against Jiang Yan's chest for a while before lifting her head again, wiping away the tears on her face with the back of her hand, and taking a deep breath to calm herself down.

Then she noticed Chen Jingyuan standing to the side.

"Mr. Chen!" Her peach blossom eyes widened suddenly.

Jiang Yan also turned to look at Chen Jingyuan.

Chen Jingyuan looked at the faces in front of him and sighed again.

"I'm not the one you know," he said, his voice even softer than before. "This matter is complicated, and now is not the time to discuss it. You should all be safe now."

He then glanced at Jiang Yan and said, "I will come to Chang'an to find you."

Jiang Yan nodded with a complicated expression: "Thank you, senior."

Cang Yao also bowed respectfully to Chen Jingyuan, saying, "Thank you, senior."

Ao Tianxin had naturally heard of Chen Jingyuan, but had never met him in person.

She looked at the face that was exactly the same as Mr. Chen's, and was also a little confused, but she still bowed.

Chen Jingyuan nodded, glanced at the lingering golden afterglow in the clouds, and turned to walk out of the valley.

In just a few steps, he appeared at the entrance of the valley, and with another step, he completely disappeared from sight.

Everyone looked away and nodded to Su Lian.

Although there were obvious disagreements within the Haoran Domain, the domain lord did not attack them from beginning to end, and even stood in front of Jiang Yan at the last moment.

This kindness was certainly remembered.

Su Lian nodded slightly in return, without saying a word.

Cang Yao and Ao Tianxin, along with Jiang Yan and Ruoshui, transformed into two streaks of light.

It flew away at an extremely fast speed towards the Demon Realm.
