The Fate of Eternal Life

Chapter 71: I Seize the Heavenly Tribulation, I Am Supreme – Defeat After Defeat

Lightning struck, burying the mountains and creating a vast, boundless ocean. Everyone was forced to retreat; it was a massive calamity that sent chills down one's spine.

The sea of ​​lightning was terrifying and boundless. A single bolt of lightning could reduce a mountain to ashes!

"This……"

Everyone was horrified. What terrifying power would so many lightning bolts possess? If they all struck, the battle arena would likely cease to exist.

"The Wolf God's tribulation is terrifyingly powerful; it's the strongest heavenly tribulation for breaking through to the Sendai Realm." Within the Heavenly Palace, a Holy Lord recognized this tribulation and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"If this calamity is overcome, this young man will likely be on par with us." A ruler of a dynasty said with a deep gaze, as if he had foreseen something.

"What I'm more curious about is whether the Little Celestial Venerable can survive this tribulation," a supreme expert said, staring at Ning Qingyi.

Silence fell over the heavenly palace.

This young man is too extraordinary. He possesses the power of the Eight Forbidden Realms in the Four Extremes Secret Realm, and he was able to defeat Wang Teng, who was at the Great Perfection of Dragon Transformation, after the Third Transformation of Dragon Transformation.

This is no ordinary Saint-level being!
It's unbelievable that such a young talent, who swept through the younger generation of Beiyuan and possessed the inheritance of the ancient emperor and the Nine Secrets, was defeated by Ning Qing.

Many people had the answer in their minds, but they refused to believe it.

Indeed, Ning Qingyi did not break through to the level of the Nine Secrets. His special qualities lay only in his incredibly profound potential, his incredibly powerful physical body, and his ability to progress further on the single secret realm path than his peers.

"boom!"

A massive bolt of lightning descended from the sky. This tribulation was more terrifying than any previous one, as it was no longer a simple minor dragon transformation tribulation. Instead, it was influenced by Wang Teng's Sendai tribulation, making it even more frightening.

At the same time, the Quasi-Emperor of Yaochi made his move, setting up an extremely mysterious array that actually blocked the senses of many young prodigies towards the Heavenly Tribulation.

The reason is that Ning Qingyi and Wang Teng's tribulation lightning is spreading wider and wider. If no intervention is taken, everyone will be caught up in it.

“The Heaven-Deceiving Array Pattern, woof! This guy even knows this…” Black Emperor muttered to himself.

One after another, bolts of purple lightning struck down, and the boundless purple sky unleashed all kinds of divine light, endlessly striking down.

Ning Qing remained unmoved, actively drawing the tribulation lightning into her body, using the tribulation from heaven to cleanse her physical body and sea of ​​consciousness.

It's unknown how many bolts of lightning were drawn into Ning Qingyi's body, completely cleansing his flesh. Eternal light flickered, and endless lightning danced. This was an earth-shattering calamity.

"puff!"

That's the sound of blood splattering from the golden statue.

"Kick!"

This was the sound of the body being broken; golden bones protruded from the flesh, but it quickly recovered.

Ning Qingyi's spine was glowing, as the heavenly tribulation continuously tempered the Bodhidharma spine, making this spinal bone even stronger.

The primordial spirit of the tiny figure emerged from the ancestral aperture between the eyebrows, like a bottomless pit, with blazing lightning striking from all directions, and all rivers flowing into it.

Both the physical body and the divine consciousness were baptized, bathed in the light of the heavens, and shone with dazzling brilliance.

"That's terrifying. The tribulations are useless to Little Celestial Venerable; they only serve as nourishment for his growth."

"Hmph! He's too arrogant, actually undergoing tribulation in the Wolf God's Ascension Tribulation. I'll see what he does!"

This time, Ning Qingyi is undergoing the Purple Heaven Thunder Tribulation, a very rare tribulation. However, if one survives it, he will draw purple energy into his body, which is said to have incredible mysteries.

"too slow!"

Ning Qingyi stopped passively enduring the tribulation. He roared and charged into the lightning tribulation. He opened his mouth wide, and the tribulation lightning contained in the tribulation clouds rushed into his mouth at an extremely fast speed to help him overcome the tribulation!
"boom!"

A dazzling light of calamity shot into the sky, instantly engulfing him. His joints moved, his flesh broke and repaired repeatedly, making a constant cracking sound. His flesh and blood swelled rapidly, as if he had been reborn.

Everyone was stunned, never expecting that Ning Qingyi could do something like this.

The heavenly tribulation was also enraged, and the tribulation clouds bulged up, unleashing a final, deafening roar!
"Boom!"

With a deafening roar, the heavens and earth shattered, and the place where Ning Qing was located was illuminated, with only purple mist spreading everywhere.

Finally, the strange phenomenon disappeared, and Ning Qingyi walked out leisurely, his energy and spirit rising to a new level. He had broken through to the fourth transformation of the Dragon Transformation.

This is the Heavenly Tribulation, where extreme destruction conceals extreme vitality, making it the best tonic for unparalleled geniuses!

Ning Qingyi's tribulation clouds no longer brewed tribulation lightning, but instead merged into Wang Teng's tribulation clouds.

Compared to Ning Qingyi, Wang Teng was in a very miserable state at this moment. His body had been split apart, and he was constantly being repaired by the tribulation lightning only to be severely injured again, which was very difficult.

"The Wolf God seems to be struggling. Trying to undergo tribulation in that state is indeed a stretch," someone sighed.

"Look! The tribulation clouds have enveloped the Little Celestial Venerable as well. Is this the Great Tribulation of the Ascension Platform?!" someone exclaimed in shock.

Ning Qingyi looked at the overwhelming clouds of tribulation, her face calm, and said, "Wang Teng, it looks like you can't hold on much longer. Let me give you a hand."

Wang Teng had no energy left to look at Ning Qingyi. He remained motionless, enduring the tribulation lightning, waiting for the ultimate display.

Ning Qingyi didn't lie and directly rushed into Wang Teng's Sendai Tribulation.

Amidst the lightning and thunder, he stood in the void like an ancient Buddhist war god, his black hair flying, his entire body shimmering with precious light, dazzling and radiant.

At the same time, the Sendai Heavenly Punishment was truly triggered and erupted in full force. The sea of ​​electricity engulfed him, and the Great Evolution Divine Thunder, the Five Elements Primordial Lightning, the Nine Tribulations Thunder... all came down endlessly!

Each bolt of lightning shattered his precious body, far surpassing the damage he suffered during his Lesser Dragon Transformation Tribulation.

This is Wang Teng's Sendai Tribulation. Even powerful beings would perish here. He truly possesses the bearing of an ancient emperor.

Ning Qing stepped into the depths of the tribulation clouds, his steps blossoming like lotuses. He sat cross-legged, and the Golden Heart Lamp of the Tribulation and the Purple-Gold Immortal Bell of the Divine Mark leaped into his palm. He held the lamp in one hand and the bell in the other.

"When Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva was practicing the profound Prajnaparamita, he perceived that the five aggregates are empty, and thus transcended all suffering and distress."

“Shariputra, form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from form…”

One by one, the chanting of scriptures slowly resounded, pure, solemn, sacred, and profound. Within the precious body, the Buddha's light flickered, and every time the lightning struck a place, the Buddha's light would fill the gap...

Immeasurable light, immeasurable life!
The Golden Heart Lamp of Tribulation and the Purple Gold Immortal Bell of Divine Mark also began to change. The patterns imprinted on them by the tribulation lightning intertwined like dragons, and the two artifacts became increasingly extraordinary, as if they had come to life.

At the same time, Wang Teng was surprised to find that the tribulation lightning's effect on him had weakened. It wasn't that its power was decreasing, but rather that its frequency was decreasing, giving him more time to breathe.

But Wang Teng showed no joy whatsoever; instead, his face remained ashen.

He was confident that even without Ning Qingyi's help, he could safely weather the Sendai Calamity, fully recover, and return to his peak condition.

However, if Ning Qingyi keeps sharing the burden, his benefits will not be as great.

For him, who aspires to become an emperor, every flawed tribulation he undergoes is weakening his foundation.

"We can't wait any longer, let's go..."

Wang Teng let out a long roar, at this moment he unleashed his potential and forcibly returned to his peak state.

The lightning tribulation was boiling over, and countless types of lightning tribulations descended upon the world at once, each one terrifying beyond compare.

Ning Qingyi was also affected, and his precious body was instantly torn to pieces.

"Zhantian!"

"Sever the Dao!"

"Sever your true self!" Wang Teng roared, and a golden primordial spirit burst forth from his head, manifesting as a deity, and then transforming into a Dao sword, which cleaved down with the tribulation lightning.

"puff!"

He severed himself, his physical body turning to dust. A surge of pure energy rose up, protected by the Dao Sword, and ascended against the sky, giving birth to a body like that of a Celestial King, with a majestic and solemn appearance, as if a god had descended to earth.

Everyone was horrified, completely unable to understand what had happened. Only the various religious leaders and a few living fossils felt their hearts pound, and one of them cried out in disbelief.

"Slay My Enlightened Dao Technique!"

"What! This ancient technique has reappeared in the world!"

Everyone was astonished. This was the legendary technique of the Ruthless Great Emperor, capable of severing the past self, transcending the present self, proving the path to the future, and clearly seeing one's own heart. It was precisely through this technique that she shed her demonic body, was born with a divine embryo, and was reborn.

"The legend is true. The Chaotic Ancient Emperor not only received the inheritance of the Void Emperor, but also obtained the power of a ruthless person..."

"Born anew amidst the tribulation lightning, Wang Teng is about to rise."

Wang Teng succeeded, breaking free of his divine embryo and recovering to his peak condition ahead of schedule.

The essence of the ten directions surged in like water, and a harmonious sound of dragon and phoenix rang out. Around him, divine phoenixes danced, true dragons circled, qilins gazed at the sky, white tigers roared at the moon, and one after another, immortal spirits appeared, dazzling and radiant.

"Click."

As the lightning struck, Wang Teng cried out, his body covered in blood, every inch of his skin shattered.

"The Dao-Enlightening Technique of Severing My Soul is flawed; he failed to transform into a divine embryo." Someone exclaimed in surprise.

Wang Teng roared, "A hundred defeats make me the supreme ruler, invincible under heaven!"

The celestial light from the tribulation descended from the sky, converging on his body and healing his wounds. Under the influence of the tribulation, those flaws were gradually made up for.

"He knew all along that the Dao-Enlightening Technique of Severing Myself was flawed and that the Divine Embryo might have problems, so he deliberately used the power of the Heavenly Tribulation to make up for this. What audacity!" An older generation figure saw through this and was full of admiration.

"Ning Qingyi, die!"

At this point, there was no doubt that he had survived the Sendai Tribulation. Wang Teng took the initiative to challenge the enemy. His primordial spirit, wielding the "Qian" secret technique, gathered the power of heaven and earth, condensed the tribulation lightning into a spear, and hurled it fiercely.

Ning Qingyi placed the two artifacts within the lightning tribulation, surging his entire body's divine power. A faint jade glow appeared behind him, forming a circle that pushed aside the heavenly tribulation, preventing it from breaking through.

Enter the Dragon!

No one expected it to escalate to this point, leaving the spectators breathless and excited.

Ning Qingyi formed the Nanwu Fist Seal, and Wang Teng swung his fist in response.

boom!
The thunder roared, its divine light obscuring the sun; the tribulation was as terrifying as a volcanic eruption.

The two fought to the point of madness amidst the lightning tribulation, even dispersing the tribulation clouds.

"Crack!"

Wang Teng's expression changed drastically. Despite having survived the great calamity of Sendai, his physical body was still no match for Ning Qingyi and was shattered into pieces.

At the same time, the lightning tribulation was also enraged and underwent inexplicable changes.

Within the sea of ​​lightning, countless palaces manifested, stretching as far as the eye could see. The magnificent palaces, imposing and awe-inspiring, floated and sank in the terrifying sea of ​​lightning, making it hard for people to breathe.

The next instant, a humanoid creature emerged from it.

"My God, what am I seeing? The lightning tribulation has become sentient."

"Ancient Heavenly Court phantom... humanoid lightning!" The Yaochi Quasi-Emperor looked nostalgic, as scenes from the past flashed before his eyes.

Ning Qing laughed: "Wang Teng, you're nothing special. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't even have seen the human lightning."

Wang Teng's expression was grim. As a descendant of the ancient emperor, he naturally knew what the appearance of the ancient heavenly court phantom and humanoid lightning during the tribulation represented. Could it be that he couldn't activate it on his own?
A humanoid lightning bolt, topped with a tower, charged towards the two.

Yaochi, a tower-shaped weapon—the two immediately guessed who the newcomer was.

The humanoid lightning bolt was incredibly domineering, striking Wang Teng with one palm and pressing down on Ning Qingyi with one tower, actually attacking the two of them at the same time!

Ning Qingyi showed no fear. Behind him, four illusory pillars of chaos appeared, forming a trapping array with the secret of character formation, suppressing the lightning of the Western Emperor Tower within.

Although there was no heavenly tribulation to temper them, chaos itself is the strongest tribulation, and the four divine pillars can be said to have infinite potential.

On the other side, Wang Teng's expression changed drastically; his divine embryo had suffered a severe and extremely tragic injury.

With the weapon suppressed, the humanoid lightning also struck down with a palm, clashing with Ning Qing in a blow.

The moment they clashed, Ning Qing's expression changed drastically. This was Wang Teng's Heavenly Tribulation; the Humanoid Lightning realm was actually at the Sendai level!

"Boom!"

The golden statue was smashed away, crashing into a cliff and collapsing. But he quickly soared into the sky, unleashing his full power!
His invincible golden body was activated to the extreme, his whole body shone with golden light, and the sound of jade and gold was like celestial music that never stopped. A halo behind him appeared and disappeared, blending with heaven and earth and encompassing everything, making him look like a Buddha!

"boom!"

This punch, simple and unadorned, without any unusual phenomena, was earth-shattering, scattering even the tribulation clouds, leaving people terrified and chilled to the bone.

A humanoid lightning bolt swung its hand and descended from the sky.

The two sides clashed, evenly matched, making the battle exceptionally fierce.

Only Wang Teng's face was ashen; even though it was his own Tianjie Street, he seemed like a passerby.

But he soon ran out of time. In the midst of the tribulation, a humanoid lightning bolt with a large bell on its head emerged.

"boom!"

Wang Teng was directly shattered; this humanoid lightning bolt was too terrifying, and he was almost killed!
Upon seeing this scene, Ning Qing's expression turned strange. Of all places, Wang Teng could have chosen Yaochi for his tribulation, and the quality of his humanoid lightning had directly risen to its peak.

However, he had no time to spare. The humanoid lightning at the Sendai level was simply too terrifying. He was also covered in injuries and in poor condition. But the more he fought, the brighter his eyes became.

Ning Qingyi used his telepathic abilities to try and understand the human-shaped lightning, and in the darkness, he actually grasped a sense of "equality" and experienced the will of "transcendence".

"Without self, without others, without sentient beings, without life span, this is the true meaning of the heavenly calamity: it bestows equal destruction, but also gives equal life."

Ning Qingyi had a sudden inspiration and gained a deeper understanding of the Namo Fist.

"With the existence of the self, the four marks are complete, the golden body is invincible, and all beings are equal!"

At this moment, in Ning Qing's eyes, the Western Emperor, symbolized by the humanoid lightning, also became one of all living beings, and naturally, all are equal.

Under the power of Namo Fist, all living beings are equally doomed.

boom!
With a single punch, the clouds of calamity dissipated, and the humanoid lightning was defeated by the Equal Fist! At the same time, the humanoid lightning that had nearly killed Wang Teng also vanished completely.

The world returned to clarity, and Wang Teng successfully overcame his tribulation, but he was filled with a sense of bewilderment.

"Wang Teng, try taking this punch." Ning Qingyi arrived gracefully and threw a punch.

This punch is as powerful as the heavens.

This punch looks down upon all living beings.

Faced with this punch, Wang Teng suffered defeat after defeat!
