Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

"Master, what is a real heavenly tribulation? Isn't Sister Qiu'er undergoing her tribulation right now?"

Jialin nestled in Yan's arms, accepting his gentle caresses of her dragon horns, much like petting a cat. Although she felt shy, she also experienced an exhilarating joy in it.

"You should have noticed that the previous Seven-Colored Heavenly Tribulation not only did not damage Qiu'er's body, but also helped her complete her transformation. Rather than a tribulation, it was more like a blessing. This was due to the influence of her status and destiny as an Imperial Beast."

Yan explained to Jialin, "But the Heavenly Tribulation is not that simple. It either doesn't appear at all, or once it does, there will inevitably be trials and tribulations. The Seven-Colored Heavenly Tribulation was just a prelude, which was resolved by her auspicious beast luck, but this is not the ultimate Heavenly Tribulation."

Since the Seven-Colored Heavenly Tribulation was influenced by the auspicious beast's fortune, then after her transformation, an even higher-level heavenly tribulation will naturally come knocking, and that will be Qiu'er's true test. However, with me here, you will all be safe.”

Yan's last few words naturally earned him a sweet kiss from Jia Lin, while the Silver Dragon King Na'er, seeing this scene of public displays of affection, turned slightly cold and glanced at Jia Lin with a hint of jealousy. She was unhappy; why wasn't she the one in someone else's arms?

Just as Yan and Jialin were explaining, Qiu'er in the sky naturally sensed it and took countermeasures. Her mind was calm and composed as she gradually felt the process of fusion.

Although the process was somewhat painful, it no longer affected her perception, so she couldn't waste time. Only by carefully experiencing every change in her body could she benefit from her future cultivation.

Above the sky, a huge golden dragon twisted and shimmered, as if two illusory figures were constantly jumping and merging. The new body that emerged in this process was even more powerful and exquisite than the original.

The golden dragon head looked up at the sky, roaring silently at the lightning tribulation in the air, as if calling for more great calamities to descend and cleanse its body.

As lightning continued to fall and merge with the golden dragon's body, the dragon's neck gradually turned a unique pale gold, followed by the torso behind the neck, the dragon claws, the dragon tail, the dragon scales, and finally every corner inside and outside the dragon's body.

Qiu'er could clearly feel that, in the darkness, a special aura seemed to be taking shape within her body. This aura swirled within her already fused body, gradually gathering into a brilliant golden torrent, swirling and repeating.

This was a true bloodline transformation, making her completely transcendent. The Golden Dragon King bloodline that was originally quite abundant within her body suddenly reached a 'Dragon Ancestor' level, similar to the Silver Dragon King, but it was also fundamentally different from the original Golden Dragon King.

The new golden dragon body is more gentle, unlike the ferocious Golden Dragon King, and the dragon head looks very similar to the original three-eyed golden lion head. More importantly, she now has two main forms: the current golden dragon body and another golden lion body that has been fused with other elements.

This transformation is undoubtedly of great benefit to Qiu'er. From now on, she will have the destiny of the Golden Dragon King and the top bloodline, and will have the possibility of becoming a God King or even surpassing the Dragon God, just like the Silver Dragon King. Although the chance of success for the latter possibility is very slim, what if it comes true?

Qiu'er's confidence stemmed from Yan. Yan had given her too many surprises, and as Yan's spirit, she possessed the foundation for effortless victory. Therefore, she was already considering that if she couldn't rely on herself, she could rely on Yan to achieve a comfortable outcome.

Yan was naturally unaware of her thoughts at this moment, otherwise he wouldn't have been so nervous on the Rising Dragon Platform. If teasing the dragon maid was just to relieve his 'nervousness', then he asked himself honestly, he was indeed quite nervous before.

While Yan was lost in thought, Qiu'er at the top of the sky had completely turned into a brilliant gold. Her divine body was like a work of art, every inch of it shining with brilliant gold radiance, and the fluctuations of laws appeared faintly on those brilliant gold scales.

These shimmering golden scales are noticeably more raised than ordinary dragon scales, with ridges on them, as if they contain the ultimate truths of heaven and earth, reflecting a dazzling golden luster that makes her look even more magnificent and colorful.

As her body continued to grow stronger, her divine sense also became increasingly powerful. Within the enormous seven-colored thundercloud, a nearly viscous liquid began to appear. This lump of liquid was also spinning wildly in the center of the seven-colored vortex, radiating power as it spun.

"Buzz~~~"

Qiu'er's whole body trembled violently, and almost at the same time, the seven-colored heaven and earth tribulation falling from the sky suddenly stopped.

Jialin, blushing, suddenly looked up in Yan's arms. A dragon's might that made her feel fear grew stronger, and she even had an urge to submit.

At this moment, one after another, incredibly loud and stirring dragon roars rose and fell, and soon the entire sky was filled with the cheers of the dragons.

An aura of unparalleled majesty emanated from the golden dragon in the sky, its dragon eyes radiating a sacred golden light, and strange fluctuations of fortune rose up with it.

Wisps of black energy gradually converged from all directions, and then the colorful light in the sky was completely replaced by black clouds, followed by an even more terrifying thunderbolt.

The colorful vortex vanished abruptly, replaced by an even more terrifying tear-like light. Just then, a slight tremor began to occur; it wasn't just a tremor in a small area, but rather the entire world was shaking.

Countless dragons in the Dragon Realm began to stir with unease. They all felt a deep fear within themselves, as if something was brewing and about to appear.

The sky darkened again, as if day had turned into night in an instant. A few stars twinkled in the sky, initially few and far between, but soon thousands of stars shone down, making the entire sky a magnificent spectacle.

Surrounded by a multitude of stars, the seven-colored thundercloud vortex began to gradually shrink, while the tremors between heaven and earth became increasingly pronounced.

With a majestic and resounding boom, countless powerful figures present felt the world tremble in an instant. Its grandeur and imposing majesty commanded utmost reverence.

A massive, nine-colored pillar of light suddenly descended from the center of the thunderclouds without warning, falling directly above the Ascending Dragon Pillar amidst the shimmering starlight.

Above the Rising Dragon Pillar, Qiu'er, who had just experienced a retreat and hadn't even reacted to what had happened, was enveloped by the nine-colored pillar of light in a single glance, and her body immediately responded accordingly.

Yan, who had been secretly observing the situation, also hesitated. Visually, the difference between nine-colored and seven-colored didn't seem that significant, but at this moment, after the explosion, no one would easily trust others anymore.

Chapter 747 The Primal Tribulation of the Universe

The Nine-Colored Heavenly Tribulation, also known as the Nine-Colored Cosmic Origin Tribulation, is a test from the universe itself. Ordinary lightning tribulations originate from the plane itself and are called dimensional tribulations, with the highest being seven colors. The Nine-Colored Cosmic Origin Tribulation, however, is a test from the universe. Those who survive it will experience boundless creation, while those who fail will suffer annihilation.

However, it was inappropriate to say anything at this moment. At this time, in the sky above the Dragon Realm, streaks of nine-colored tribulation light intertwined, and various elemental lights appeared one after another. That was the power of the origin of the universe, a scrutiny and test from the origin of the universe.

The thousand-meter-long golden dragon in the sky paused, and Qiu'er felt a little confused. It was as if a voice was questioning her: Why, why does she possess this power...?

She could clearly feel that her once incredibly powerful dragon body was now riddled with flaws, like a forcibly assembled building block whose crucial piece had been removed, beginning to collapse amidst the nine-colored lightning. Every part of her was crumbling, even her divine sense.

This was a force that could not be resisted by willpower alone. In that instant, she fully felt what it meant to be powerless, and even felt a desire to give up.

In the blink of an eye, the pale golden dragon scales on her body turned dark gold, and it was clear that they would continue to change.

On the Dragon Ascension Platform, Yan's eyes lit up, and a beam of light shot into the sky, ignoring the rumbling heavenly tribulation, and went straight into Qiu'er's thousand-meter golden dragon body, and the collapse stopped for a moment.

“I didn’t agree that you could end it.”

Yan's voice was soft yet extremely firm; his calm words seemed to carry the weight of heaven's will, and Qiu'er in the sky instantly regained her strength.

Thousands of dark golden rays suddenly descended, surging wildly into Qiu'er's dragon body. The Nine-Colored Heaven and Earth Destruction Cosmic Calamity that had caused her body to collapse was instantly dispersed and absorbed, restoring her from all her devastation.

The first Nine-Colored Heaven and Earth Destruction Cosmic Tribulation collapsed, but Qiu'er's test was not over yet. Yan could help her once or twice, but he couldn't solve the problem every time, so the key to the future still depended on her own efforts.

"Roar~~~"

The thousand-meter-long golden dragon unleashed a thunderous roar, and the pale golden scales on Qiu'er's body stood on end. Her blood and energy surged, and in that instant, the energy within her body converged into a golden crystal, its light shimmering. At the same moment, a holy golden light burst forth from her eyes as she gazed at the sky, her gaze cold and calm.

"Boom!"

The second Nine-Colored Heaven and Earth Universe Calamity crashed down, and the golden dragon in the sky blocked it with its head, its straight dragon horns acting like lightning rods to attract the endless lightning.

In an instant, the dragon's roar overwhelmed the thunder. Starting from the dragon's head, a ray of tribulation light swept across the golden dragon's body. The dragon scales that stood up collapsed and reformed repeatedly in the terrifying tribulation light.

At the core of her body, the golden core crystal continuously burst forth with enormous energy, forcibly restoring its collapse, breaking down and rebuilding, and her body became stronger through constant reconstruction.

Beneath the Dragon Pillar, countless dragons were undergoing transformation amidst the tribulation light, yet they were also gripped by fear, all remaining silent in terror. The terrifying lightning tribulation was not merely a matter of energy level; even more terrifying was the supreme law, a power capable of destroying their will.

However, while they were filled with fear, they also greatly admired Qiu'er for her ability to fight and cope with the heavenly tribulation, and naturally accepted this new dragon king.

On the Dragon Pillar, Yan looked at the dazzling, colorful celestial light that pointed directly to the origin of the universe, and a different kind of color appeared in his eyes.

"Don't act impulsively."

Silver Dragon King Na'er suddenly blocked his way, saying, "This is not a heavenly tribulation you triggered yourself. Even if you forcibly try to overcome it and successfully break through, it will leave hidden dangers for your cultivation level."

Her words immediately dispelled Yan's thoughts and impulses. After calming down, he realized that what the Silver Dragon King said was true.

This is Qiu'er's tribulation. If he interferes too much, he will be challenging the laws of heaven and earth. That will cause a change in the tribulation, and what will descend upon him will be the power of the laws at his level, namely the Nine-Colored Divine King Tribulation.

However, Yan himself was not afraid of the tribulation. In fact, he was very confident that he could overcome the Nine-Colored God King Tribulation. He could not only help Qiu'er complete this transformation, but also force himself to break through to a higher level.

But what the Silver Dragon King said makes a lot of sense. This was not a calamity he brought upon himself. Breaking through by forcibly undergoing the heavenly tribulation would lack enlightenment and might leave hidden dangers. Right now, he doesn't actually need to rush to break through.

"Buzz..."

Just as Yan was talking with the Silver Dragon King, the third tribulation descended, instantly giving everyone a chilling feeling.

The devastating nine-colored divine lightning descended from the sky, completely distorting the sky above the Dragon Pillar, and even blurring the existence of the Dragon Realm.

When the third Nine-Colored Heaven and Earth Universe Tribulation descended, Qiu'er's own bloodline was already boiling, burning, and even completely assimilated into the nine colors. However, when she was assimilated into the nine colors, her body was simply unable to withstand this power.

Her once-powerful body had become a source of agonizing torment, allowing her to endure the pain for longer while simultaneously intensifying it. At this moment, it seemed as if all strength had lost its power, leaving only endless torment and agony.

Her mind was perfectly clear, even more so than usual, but the destructive power of this divine lightning was truly terrifying.

This contains opposing laws of creation and destruction. The law of creation seems to be about to recreate a world within her body, but before that, everything must be destroyed.

Everything seemed irresistible, with two opposing forces within her, constantly creating and destroying, dying and being reborn.

The fact that such a test had already come with only the third Heavenly Tribulation made Qiu'er's resolve waver. According to the rules of Heavenly Tribulations in the past, there should have been at least seven to nine tribulations before the trial was completely over. And this was only the third one.

Her consciousness was briefly confused, but the laws of heaven and earth would not give her time to consider or regret, nor would they weaken because of her wavering will. After the third heavenly tribulation tormented her to the point of ecstasy, the fourth nine-colored divine light descended upon the world and struck the golden dragon's body.

"Boom!"

Violent energy raged through her body, and Qiu'er felt as if she were about to explode. Her body was melting rapidly, and waves of the will of heaven and earth were crushing everything around her. Every inch of her thousand-meter-long golden dragon body seemed about to collapse.

However, the golden dragon core crystal within her body, which had fused all the power, remained as stable as a mountain, shining brightly. This gave her the confidence to persevere and was also a straw to grasp at.

"Qiu'er, keep going..."

Suddenly, a voice appeared in Qiu'er's heart. It was a memory she could never forget, and her dragon eyes lit up slightly, filled with the reflection of Yan on the Ascending Dragon Pillar.

Yan's reminder made Qiu'er realize that the upcoming tribulation was the real key. The golden dragon, which was over a thousand meters long, roared again and broke through once more amidst the baptism of the tribulation light.

"Boom!"

The fifth heavenly tribulation descended almost immediately. Qiu'er's body trembled, and in an instant, all the pain vanished. The enormous dragon body stiffened in the sky, then began to soften like a lump of flesh, before flowing and falling like liquid.

Had the Golden Dragon failed its tribulation? Qiu'er's mind went blank for a moment, but she quickly realized that she could still perceive everything around her and had not fallen into endless darkness due to death. Therefore, she was not dead yet, still struggling in the mortal world; this was merely another tribulation.

A golden crystal shone brightly in the sky, and the liquefied golden dragon instantly condensed, demonstrating that nothing can be destroyed before something can be created, that nothing can be dead or destroyed, and that everything can be reborn from collapse.

The sixth divine lightning bolt finally struck again. This time, the previously liquefied dragon body rapidly condensed within the lightning, and the golden crystal absorbed the power of the heavenly tribulation. The power of the Nine-Colored Heaven and Earth Universe Tribulation suddenly decreased, as if everything was about to pass.

A dragon-shaped body, entirely of pure gold but surrounded by a faint nine-colored halo, gradually coalesced and was reborn in the light of thunder.

Heaven and Earth, unwilling to simply watch Qiu'er be reborn, unleashed a seventh bolt of divine lightning. The newly formed dragon body nearly collapsed, but quickly stabilized once more. The most dangerous moment had passed; everything would be better.

With a deafening roar, the eighth heavenly tribulation crashed down, and the golden dragon's body collapsed once again. However, after this collapse, a golden dragon core crystal, several times larger than before, shone brightly, and the dragon's body, which had reassembled, was countless times stronger than before.

The moment the ninth Nine-Colored Heaven and Earth Universe Tribulation descended, the Ascending Dragon Pillar reacted violently, bursting forth with intense energy fluctuations.

A terrifying scene unfolded: the sky suddenly lit up, and an extremely powerful fluctuation of law erupted, turning the entire sky into nine colors in an instant. Countless nine-colored rays of light, like funnels, transformed into incomparably massive bolts of lightning that descended from the sky.

"Rumble~~~"

A deafening roar, as if the heavens and earth were collapsing, suddenly resounded. At the same time, a nine-colored pillar of light rose from the Dragon Ascension Pillar, overlapping with the nine-colored pillar of light that descended from the sky. Instantly, a huge nine-colored sphere of light appeared in the center of the sky.

A blinding light suddenly erupted, and even Yan turned his gaze away for a moment, but he was no longer worried, because he could feel the familiar aura that was growing stronger in the darkness.

"Ang ang ang..."

A resounding dragon roar echoed through the cosmic sky. In the Douluo Continent and the Dragon Realm, within and beyond, in the sight of countless people, a huge dragon-shaped phantom gradually emerged. The huge phantom was very blurry, but it was definitely the legendary Dragon King.

The golden Dragon King, surrounded by colorful light, exuded an intense aura that swept across the entire world and even reached the universe. In countless planes of the entire star field, the roars of billions of dragons echoed endlessly, and countless dragon souls were revived at this moment. The golden and silver dragons were reborn, and the Dragon God also had hope of reappearing.

Chapter 748 The Birth of Bones

Above the Rising Dragon Platform, a huge golden sphere of light slowly descended, and the massive dragon-shaped figure, thousands of meters long, gradually shrank, with golden streams of light converging into the sphere from all directions.

Within the enormous sphere of light, the dragon-shaped figure continuously shrank, from over a thousand meters at the beginning to about a hundred meters, and then gradually shrank to about ten meters. The halo of light gradually receded, and finally the dragon-shaped figure shrank into a human form.

Qiu'er's consciousness was still somewhat confused. Although her cultivation level had long surpassed that of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, this was truly her first time experiencing a heavenly tribulation. And for her to face the Nine-Colored Chaotic Universe Tribulation, a tribulation that ordinary ferocious beasts would never encounter in their entire lives, was truly a difficult situation for her.

She recalled the scenes from just moments ago: her body being torn apart, her consciousness fragmented and then forcibly reassembled. That was bad enough, but the nine tribulations that followed were all different; thinking about it now, it all seemed unreal.
