The Eternal World

The Return to the Ruins was originally a place that jumped out of the laws of the world.

This place was filled with incomparably thick chaos energy, and the Time Laws didn't exist here.

Originally, in this sort of place, the laws of the outside world shouldn't be able to invade this place. At the very least, it hadn't happened for hundreds of millions of years.

But at this moment, the hundred million years of iron law had changed!

In the spiral space that Zhang Chao was in, the spatial barrier had been forcefully broken into by an external force, and had been torn with many large holes.

Thick bolts of lightning bloomed with malevolent light, as if they were countless pythons writhing in the air.

Heavenly Tribulation!

Sage Dao of Heaven's Punishment!

In an instant, the countless lightning bolts pounced towards Zhang Chao with a loud bang, completely twisting into one, as if they had vaguely formed into a huge dragon, and swallowed Zhang Chao whole!

"Ha, it's Saint Dao of Heaven's Punishment!" The shadow had already retreated far away. In front of this heavenly tribulation, he didn't plan on staying too close to it. Otherwise, if he were to be caught up in it, it would no longer be a joke!

Although Sheng Domain's punishment was nothing to someone like him who came from a domain of kingly dao, he had to be careful of heavenly tribulation. Furthermore, this was still the An Realm, not his home Ping Realm.

Furthermore, the injuries in his body were severe. Even though he had borrowed the power of the Holy Spirit Stone and barely managed to make it to the Honorable Origin Realm, the overall difference in power was too great compared to when he was at his peak condition.

Moreover, he didn't have to do it himself now. He was completely clear about Zhang Chao's injuries.

Wishful thinking!

From ancient times until now, there had been many gifted and intelligent individuals who had been fully prepared for the upcoming Heavenly Punishment. However, only 20% of them were able to successfully cross this heavenly tribulation.

"Eh? Why do I have the feeling that this Saint Dao of Heaven's Punishment … It seems to be a little different from what this reputed one has experienced before? " But then, Shadow frowned.

"Could it be because … A relationship in a foreign land? The heavenly tribulation in these two worlds is also different? "

He could vaguely sense that the enormous lightning dragon that had just swallowed Zhang Chao was simply too ridiculously powerful, to the point that it had even exceeded the power that a heaven punishment of the sacred way should have been capable of.

"Hmph, who cares? Based on Zhang Chao's current state, provoking such a violent heavenly tribulation, it seems like I don't need to do anything!"

"This ant would rather die in a divine tribulation than die in my hands?" "As expected of a stubborn little fellow..."

At this time, Zhang Chao's situation was indeed as bad as Ying Wu thought.

His physical strength was almost depleted. The moment he was swallowed by the lightning dragon, thunder and lightning coursed through his entire body, burning and destroying him!

"Wu, this lightning is too violent. I do not have enough Yuan Power to support it. What should I do?" Zhang Chao's expression was a little twisted from the pain, and he was struggling to hold on.

The Holy Dao of Heaven's Punishment didn't allow the usage of treasures or pills, and also didn't allow one to use any offensive or divine skills. They could only rely on their own cultivation and strength to forcefully defend themselves!

However, how could Zhang Chao take it head on?

"As I thought, the tribulation that I meditated on in my mind, when I really had to face this tribulation, is it useless?" Zhang Chao's face was filled with bitterness, but he could still vaguely see that outside of the lightning dragon, there was a victorious look. It seemed like after he had been killed by the heavenly tribulation, he would come and retrieve his treasure.

"Hmph, how can I let you succeed?" Zhang Chao clenched his teeth and continued to persevere on as if his life depended on it.

The remaining strength from the fusion of elemental energy and demonic energy formed a net that attached itself to his body, resisting the ravaging of thunder.

Right at this moment, a flash of lightning suddenly appeared within his dantian.

Immediately after, in the pit of Zhang Chao's heart, a whirl with flashing lightning bolts appeared. It was as big as a fist, and the lightning on the Thunder Dragon's body was crazily sucked into the whirl.

Although Zhang Chao did not know what had happened, he could vaguely guess that there was a special kind of power within his body that had awakened once again.

It was also this power that prevented the Holy Spirit Stone from corroding him, and even suppressed a magic seed.

At this moment, the mysterious lightning appeared once again.

Furthermore, he had swallowed the mouth of the heavenly tribulation's lightning head, and turned it into streams of warm current, swiftly channeling into Zhang Chao's seven tendons and eight meridians!

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Zhang Chao almost shouted out loudly in comfort. He felt that his entire body was instantly filled with power!

The physical strength that he had used up was now completely replenished!

"He actually utilized the power of the lightning … My body … What exactly is left? " Zhang Chao looked at his hands in disbelief. It was clear that the thunder and lightning that were rumbling around him now could no longer cause any harm to him.

"Hmm? Was it my imagination? No, that's not right. Why do I feel that not only is that boy not dying, but he seems to have recovered his strength? " The distant figure's expression suddenly changed. Looking at the constantly spiraling lightning dragon, he began to mutter in confusion.

Amidst the thunder, Zhang Chao began to lose all sense of pressure.

Thus, he sat down cross-legged and allowed himself to be bombarded by the lightning. Each of the strikes increased the toughness of his body by a few degrees.

Body forging technique!

This was a method of body forging that Zhang Chao had previously known.

However, this method was extremely dangerous and filled with pain. Moreover, where could he find enough lightning?

However, a place like this was just right for him.

In any case, there was still some time before the divine retribution disappeared, so he might as well use this violent divine retribution lightning to improve himself.

This lightning would strengthen his body and strengthen it further, allowing his body to approach the indestructible body, which was comparable to a magical treasure.

As the power of the lightning gradually weakened, and then completely disappeared, Zhang Chao's figure once again appeared.

"Hmph, this damn brat really didn't die. He actually succeeded in his tribulation?" Upon seeing this, Ying Ying's pupils could not help but constrict as he clenched his teeth and clenched his fists. "But no matter, even if he has passed through heavenly tribulation, so what if he has broken through to the Saint Dao Realm? With my strength, I can completely crush him! "

"Hmm? Hold on … Something is not right! " But right after, Shadow's expression changed as he stared at Zhang Chao with incomparable doubt, "He seems to be … there is no advancement! "

"Phew, the thunder is finally over. It's scary but it's not dangerous!" Zhang Chao wiped his cold sweat and raised both of his hands. He looked at his palms and slowly frowned.

"Something's not right. I've clearly passed through the Lightning Tribulations, but …" Logically speaking, he should've broken through to the sage realm? But why... but I don't feel anything at all? "

"That's right. Even though my strength has increased yet again, I'm still at the level of Peak of the Nascent Soul Stage. I haven't truly taken that step yet!"

"What's going on?"

Just as he was feeling puzzled, he subconsciously looked around, only to find that the Heavenly Sin of the Sacred Path didn't disappear along with it.

"No, could it be... Sage Dao's heavenly punishment is not over yet? " He sucked in a breath of cold air as he thought of this terrifying possibility!

If it could withstand the baptism of this lightning dragon, then it would be able to pass through the pressure of the heavenly retribution and allow its nascent soul and physical body to merge together once again, merging into one, truly stepping into the realm of the sage realm.

However, the Nascent Soul in his body was still there and there was no sign of it fusing with his body.

That's right, according to this situation, the punishment from the sage realm wasn't over yet!

"Impossible, this is impossible!" The punishment of the sage realm should have only ended like this? This brat withstood the thunder tribulation, but did not cross the Sky Law. This … That shouldn't be the case! " Even Shadow couldn't believe his eyes as he looked around at the Law Energies that were surging in all directions. His expression was incredibly strange.

"Crack crack crack crack!" All of a sudden, a series of strange noises sounded in the space.

Immediately after, two incomparably large black figures appeared above Zhang Chao.

Each of these two black figures was over ten Zhang in size, and each of them emitted an aura of slaughter that caused one's heart to palpitate!

"That is... That was … Impossible! How could this be? " Seeing those two huge shadows, the shadow's body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"What is this? Is there a follow-up to the heavenly punishments? " Zhang Chao was also dumbstruck as he looked at the two enormous beings floating above his head.

Soon after, these two phantoms slowly became real. Unexpectedly, they were two incomparably large swords!

The two swords looked exactly the same, except one was black and the other was snow-white and holy.

A murderous aura mixed with a solemn aura spread out from the two giant swords. It was as if they wanted to cut the entire space into pieces!

"Damn, two greatswords?" What in the world is going on? " Zhang Chao swallowed his saliva, the power released by the two swords was too tyrannical, just the Spirit Qi released alone was enough to make his skin feel uncomfortable, as though he was being slashed by a blade.

"That's right, it's the Judgement's Sword and Judgement's Sword!" Shadow finally cried out in alarm.

"Impossible! This is clearly something that would only appear in the case of Wang Daotian's punishment. Why would it appear here?"

"Zhang Chao, you little ant, clearly went through a tribulation of divine retribution, right?"

"It is said that... Sky Law will also adjust the intensity of the Sky Law according to the person being punished. The stronger the punishment, the greater the danger … "

"Could it be... This Zhang Chao... The potential that he holds, even the Heavens would do anything to eliminate him? "

This was simply not a calamity that should have appeared on Zhang Chao's body!

"Damn, this is something that would only appear in the hands of Wang Daotian?" When Zhang Chao heard Ying Ying's surprised cry, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but twitch.

This time, he really was playing big. What virtue and ability did he have to be able to draw out this kind of heavenly tribulation?

The danger of death once again rose up in Zhang Chao's heart. And this time, it was unprecedented. They were all going to be even more intense!
