Chapter 266 Dragon Transformation and Heavenly Tribulation
"what!"

The words of the Taiqing Sect's leader startled the other two sect leaders. They had conducted a detailed investigation into the origins of the headless corpse over the years. Although they did not get much information, they were no longer completely in the dark as before.

This naturally includes some information about the head of the headless corpse, but no one knows where the head of the headless corpse is.

Now that some zombies have taken the initiative to leave, they are probably looking for the head of the headless corpse. Once the headless corpse finds its head, the situation will become even more difficult.

"Can we send people to track down the zombies that have left? Maybe we can find the whereabouts of the headless corpse." The master of Shennong Valley suggested.

"Many of the zombies that left are at the Nascent Soul stage. We don't have enough manpower." The leader of the Yin-Yang Sword Sect shook his head.

There were quite a lot of zombies that left this time, including several Nascent Soul zombies. Zombies are very sensitive to the breath of living creatures, so those with low cultivation will easily be discovered by zombies if they try to track them. Not only will they fail to track them, but they will also lose their lives.

As for sending out Yuanying Zhenjun of the same level, this is feasible, but the problem is that the current manpower is already struggling to maintain the battle between Tianyuan Xiuxian Realm and the zombie tide, and it is really impossible to send more people.

Especially at the Yuanying Zhenjun level, they are the absolute main force to deal with the zombie tide. If too many of the main forces are withdrawn and the whole battle situation is affected, it would be a loss.

"Then can we only wait? Once the head of the headless corpse returns, then..." The master of Shennong Valley was somewhat unwilling.

"wait."

The leader of Taiqing Sect sighed and said, "Our mission is to suppress the zombie tide. Whether we can put an end to this disaster will ultimately depend on the Master Huashen."

The righteous Master Huashen is now looking for a way to break the impasse, and their goal now is to buy time for him.

Otherwise, when the Venerable Huashen finds a solution, he will come back to find that his home is gone.

Qinglu Sect.

The calamity clouds rolling in the sky attracted the attention of countless people. "Is the Qinglu Sect going to give birth to another Yuanying True Lord?" A cultivator looked at the calamity clouds in the distance and couldn't help but sigh.

Today's Qinglu Sect has long become the number one sect in the Qinghe cultivation world. Now with the addition of a Yuanying Zhenjun, the position of Qinglu Sect has become even more solid.

"This is not the Nascent Soul Tribulation, but the Transformation Tribulation." A cultivator with more knowledge corrected.

"Master, Master, I'm a little scared."

Below the calamity cloud, a golden koi was spinning uneasily. After several years of accumulation, the little koi finally took this crucial step.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

In the distance, Gu Mo comforted the pet through the contract. Although the owner could assist the pet in overcoming the tribulation, it ultimately depended on the pet's own strengths.

Gu Mo was not worried about this at all. In the past few years, Gu Mo had fed Xiaoli a lot of solar essence. Although they were all level 3, the quantity was enough, which allowed Xiaoli to accumulate extremely strong foundation.

Gu Mo also arranged a lot of backup plans for Xiao Li, so it would not be a problem for him to survive the transformation calamity. After being comforted by Gu Mo, Xiao Li's anxiety eased a little, and immediately, Xiao Li took off to meet the calamity.

"Boom!"

A thunderbolt with immense power descended upon the little carp, striking it back to the ground. Many black spots appeared on the originally golden scales.

Although a little embarrassed, Xiaoli managed to survive this natural disaster, which instantly boosted Xiaoli's confidence.

It was not until the eighth heavenly thunder that Xiaoli screamed in pain. Without using any other means, he directly withstood the eight transformation heavenly tribulations. This was enough to prove how profound Xiaoli's foundation was.

However, Xiaoli was seriously injured after having to face the eight transformation tribulations. Immediately, Xiaoli took out the 4th-level sun essence that Gu Mo had prepared for her and swallowed it. The injuries in her body and the consumed strength were quickly recovered in the 4th-level sun essence.

"Boom!"

With the help of the 4th level sun essence, Xiaoli successfully withstood the last transformation tribulation and easily passed the transformation tribulation that made many big monsters shudder.

However, the little carp, which had survived the transformation tribulation, did not undergo any changes, and the tribulation clouds in the sky did not disappear.

"really!"

Gu Mo looked at the calamity clouds rolling in the sky and thought to himself that it was just as expected. The transformation of an ordinary big demon and the breakthrough of a cultivator to the Nascent Soul stage all go through nine heavenly tribulations.

But Xiaoli is not an ordinary big monster. Gu Mo's sun essence has long activated the true dragon blood deep in Xiaoli's blood. Therefore, the transformation tribulation just now was just an appetizer, and the next one is the main course, which is the legendary dragon transformation tribulation.

Only by surviving this disaster can the little carp shed its body of a koi and become the legendary true dragon.

"I hope Xiaoli will be okay."

Seeing that something unexpected had happened to Xiaoli's transformation tribulation, Chu Feifei and Yuan Niya came to Gu Mo. If it was an ordinary transformation tribulation, based on their understanding of Xiaoli, it would be an absolute sure thing. But when encountering a special tribulation, no matter how monstrous a genius is, he would not dare to say that he is sure.

"I don't know either!" Gu Mo shook his head.

No one has ever seen the dragon transformation tribulation, but just think about it and you will know that it is destined to be extremely difficult. Although Gu Mo had anticipated it and made many preparations, he still had no idea whether Xiaoli could survive it in the end.

"What's going on? This heavenly tribulation has already passed through nine times, why hasn't it dissipated yet?" The cultivators who were watching from afar were all puzzled when they saw the strange changes in the heavenly tribulation.

Special heavenly tribulations are extremely rare in the Tianyuan world of immortal cultivation, not to mention the lower-level Qinghe world of immortal cultivation. Many cultivators don't even know the existence of special heavenly tribulations.

"Boom!"

After a moment's brewing, the calamity clouds in the sky dropped a dragon-transforming heavenly calamity. It was a golden dragon-shaped heavenly thunder, and its power was almost as powerful as the ninth dragon-shaped heavenly calamity that had just occurred.

"what!!"

The dragon-shaped thunderbolt fell, and Xiaoli screamed miserably, and was instantly seriously injured. You should know that Xiaoli had just used the 4th-level sun essence to recover from his injuries, and this attack seriously injured Xiaoli again.

Moreover, at this moment, the second dragon-shaped thunder was about to fall, leaving Xiaoli no time to breathe.

"Xiao Dai, help!"

Seeing this, Xiaoli shouted.

As Xiaoli cried for help, a light curtain appeared and enveloped Xiaoli. This was the nut array that Gu Mo had arranged in advance.

At this moment, the nut array is composed entirely of 4th-level nuts, and the core is the 4th-level top-grade Xiaodai. This is the strongest backup that Gu Mo has prepared for Xiaoli.

"boom!"

The dragon-shaped thunderbolt bombarded the light curtain formed by the nut array, causing it to fluctuate violently, but eventually it returned to calm, leaving only a dragon-shaped charred scar on the nuts buried underground.

Seeing this, Gu Mo's Yuanying began to gather spiritual energy to replenish Wuguo's spiritual power and help it recover. This is because Xiaoli is Gu Mo's spiritual pet, and as the master, he can intervene like this. If it were someone else, if they dared to intervene like this, the heavenly calamity would have come and struck them together.

"Boss, I can block the heavenly calamity for Lord Xiaoli." The dragon blood kelp wrapped around Gu Mo's waist looked at the dragon-shaped thunder with eyes full of desire.

Dragon Blood Kelp's greatest desire is to transform into a real dragon. Unfortunately, he only went through an ordinary transformation tribulation. Dragon Blood Kelp's current dragon form is based on the legendary real dragon.

It was just an illusion, and what Xiaoli was going through at this moment was the real dragon tribulation. This made Longxue Haikai very envious. At this moment, he also wanted to try what it felt like to be transformed into a dragon.

Since following Gu Mo, Dragon Blood Kelp has also obtained a lot of solar essence. As the spiritual plant demon king, the solar essence is of great help to him.

This made Dragon Blood Kelp more eager to become a real dragon. Now that Xiaoli had attracted the dragon-transforming tribulation, Dragon Blood Kelp wondered if if he accepted the dragon-transforming tribulation, it would help him get one step closer to becoming a real dragon.

Even though this dragon transformation tribulation is not his, he really wants to feel the taste of it.

"He's going to die."

Gu Mo shook his head. Dragon Blood Kelp was already in the middle stage of Demon King now. However, the power of the Dragon Transformation Tribulation was far beyond that of an ordinary tribulation. Gu Mo felt that the power of the Dragon Transformation Tribulation would fluctuate according to the concentration of true dragon blood in the body of the person who was undergoing the tribulation.

The true dragon blood in Xiaoli's body had already awakened when he was at the 3rd level. The power of the dragon tribulation he faced now was still so terrifying. If the dragon blood sea was brought over, it was estimated that the dragon tribulation would directly kill him.

"Boss, I'm not afraid of death. As long as I can turn into a dragon, I'm not afraid of anything." Long Xue Hai Kang said unwillingly. He has lived for thousands of years, and turning into a dragon has long become his obsession. In order to be able to turn into a dragon, he is not afraid of death at all.

"Well, if the time is right, I will give you a chance." Seeing the determination in Long Xue Hai Kelp's eyes, Gu Mo sighed helplessly. After that, Gu Mo solemnly reminded, "However, you must listen to instructions. If there is no suitable opportunity, you can only give up."

"Yes!"

With Gu Mo's permission, the Dragon Blood Kelp's excited body trembled slightly. As for whether directly intervening in Xiaoli's tribulation would cause any changes.

There is no need to worry about this. Gu Mo intervened in Xiaoli's tribulation because he is Xiaoli's master. Similarly, Dragon Blood Kelp has long become Xiaoli's servant, which is why Dragon Blood Kelp calls Xiaoli "Sir".

The awakened true dragon blood in Xiaoli's body made the Dragon Blood Kelp willingly recognize Xiaoli as its master. In addition, when the Dragon Blood Kelp bet that Xiaoli would break through, it would attract the legendary dragon tribulation, and then he would have the opportunity to intervene.

"Boom boom boom!"

The dragon-transforming heavenly tribulations kept falling, but they were all resisted by the Nut Array. However, although the Nut Array was powerful, it also had an upper limit. The continuous dragon-transforming heavenly thunders made it impossible for Xiaodai to recover.

Seeing this, Gu Mo decisively told Xiaodai to stop, because if he continued, the nut formation would be broken. Xiaoli had almost recovered at this moment.

"The next dragon transformation tribulation is left to you." Gu Mo said to the Dragon Blood Kelp.

Xiaoli resists one attack, and Dragon Blood Kelp resists one attack. This time is enough for Xiaodai to catch his breath, and then he can continue to provide shelter for Xiaoli.

"it is good!"

Upon hearing this, the dragon blood kelp fell off Gu Mo's waist, and the next moment the demonic power in his body began to condense, ready to quickly take over after Xiaoli had withstood the calamity of transforming into a dragon.

"Boom!"

The golden dragon calamity fell, splitting Xiaoli's skin and flesh into pieces.

"It's now!"

Seeing this, Gu Mo shouted softly, and upon hearing this, the dragon blood kelp turned into a dark green stream of light and instantly reached the top of Xiaoli's head, directly colliding with the dragon transformation tribulation that followed.

"what!"

The dragon-transforming calamity bombarded the dragon-blood kelp, causing it to scream. The next moment, the dragon-blood kelp's body exploded.

The Dragon Blood Kelp in the middle stage of Demon King has cultivation and combat power much stronger than Xiaoli at the moment, but Xiaoli can withstand the dragon tribulation, but Dragon Blood Kelp cannot. This further proves that the dragon tribulation also depends on the person. The richer the true dragon blood in the body, the higher the resistance to the dragon tribulation.

"Little kelp!"

Looking at the dragon blood kelp that exploded in an instant, Xiaoli was stunned and exclaimed.

"Don't worry, he's not dead. There's one last one. Don't be distracted." Gu Mo's voice came. Dragon Blood Kelp was the spiritual plant demon king with strong vitality. The dragon calamity shattered Dragon Blood Kelp's demon body and dispersed his cultivation. At the same time, it also split off the mixed blood in his body, leaving behind the pure blood of a true dragon.

It can be said that Dragon Blood Kelp won the bet, but the price was the loss of all his cultivation, and everything had to start from scratch.

"Ok!"

Xiaoli suppressed his emotions and stared at the sky, waiting for the final dragon tribulation. At the same time, a faint light curtain rose from the nut array.

"Roar!"

The next moment, a long dragon roar was heard, and then a giant golden dragon poked its head out from the calamity cloud and glanced at Xiaoli.

That glance made heaven and earth silent, made all the beasts crawl on themselves, and made the bodies of the surrounding monks stiffen, as if the dragon head that emerged from the calamity clouds was the real dragon in the legend.

A true dragon is an existence on the same level as immortals and gods.

The highest realm in the world of immortal cultivation nowadays is only the transformation of the spirit. Above the transformation of the spirit is the refining of the void, after the refining of the void is the fusion, then the transcendence of tribulation and the Mahayana, and after the ascension to the Mahayana, one can be said to have stepped into the level of immortals and gods.

"what!"

At that glance, the little carp was struck by lightning, and then its white belly turned up. The last stage of the dragon transformation tribulation was not a thunder tribulation, but a test of the soul level.

To become a true dragon, in addition to dragon blood, one must also have a dragon soul.

After a flick, the calamity clouds in the sky dissipated, and Xiaoli's dragon transformation calamity officially ended, but Xiaoli's journey to become a dragon did not end.

Gu Mo came to Xiaoli. At this moment, golden energy dissipated from Xiaoli's body, and soon Xiaoli turned into a golden egg.

The little carp that turned into a golden egg is put into the cave space. Next, the little carp will need to spend some time to pass the test of the soul and eventually break out of the cocoon and become a real dragon.

Then, Gu Mo turned his gaze to the side, where there was an illusory green dragon shadow with a seed in its mouth.

This is the current state of the Dragon Blood Kelp. At this moment, it has condensed the dragon soul, and the seeds contain its true dragon blood. As long as the seeds are planted and wait for them to germinate, the Dragon Blood Kelp can be reborn.

By then, the Dragon Blood Kelp will become a green dragon with wood attribute, which is also the result of his transformation from the spiritual plant demon king. As for Xiaoli, if she transforms successfully, she will become a five-clawed golden dragon.

After putting the dragon blood kelp into the cave space, Gu Mo found a place with the richest spiritual energy and planted the seeds there.
