Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

On the city wall of the Jiuli tribe, a barefoot woman stood in the crowd, looking at Chi You, then looking up at the thunderclouds in the sky, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Beside her stood a burly man carrying a giant axe on his shoulder, gazing worriedly in the direction of Chi You.

The yellow dragon in the lightning tribulation smiled at Houtu's gaze. Chi You was indeed valued by the goddess Houtu, who had personally come to protect him.

Chi You and Xuanyuan were the first to independently refine the Great Luo Thunder Tribulation after the Thunder Tribulation was established, so they deserve to be properly publicized.

In the past, when living beings underwent tribulations, he would simply let the rules he had set operate on their own and never interfered.

The rules of the Heavenly Tribulation were set by him personally, with three levels: Three-Nine, Six-Nine, and Purple Heaven, which are automatically matched according to the aptitude and background of the person undergoing the tribulation.

Those with a solid foundation can cross the third nine, those with outstanding talent can cross the sixth nine, and those with the qualities of a sage can cross the Purple Heaven.

The rules are there, fair and just, and need no personal intervention.

But fairness is relative, and these two little guys deserve his personal intervention.

The next Human Emperor of the Xuanyuan Human Race, taught by Guang Chengzi and bearing the destiny of the human race, rose from Golden Immortal to the peak of Taiyi in tens of thousands of years. His solid foundation was unmatched among his peers in the entire prehistoric world.

Chi You, a hybrid of the Wu and human races, was personally protected by the goddess Houtu. His physical body, infused with the essence of the Wu clan's great shaman blood, had transformed to a level approaching that of a great shaman, making him invincible among those of the same realm in terms of combat power.

They are the most dazzling prodigies of this generation of humankind, and the strongest contenders for the throne of the Human Emperor.

If the two of them want to become the Human Emperor, they will inevitably have to go through the most brutal tests. It's not too much to ask them to add a little something extra, is it?

With a thought, Huang Long summoned several dark red blood essences, each containing fine, naturally formed patterns that exuded an ancient, majestic, and vast aura. Huang Long casually tossed them into the two heavenly tribulations!

The already formed tribulation structure within the thunderclouds was silently modified. The color of the tribulation lightning changed from pure gold to deep gold, and extremely fine wisps of blood-red electric arcs emerged from the depths of the thunderclouds, radiating an even more terrifying aura.

Those crimson arcs of electricity were only as thick as a hair, appearing and disappearing in the golden thunderclouds, almost unnoticeable unless you looked closely.

However, the aura they emitted caused both Xuanyuan and Chiyou, who were within the area shrouded by the heavenly tribulation thunderclouds, to feel a sense of unease.

On the vast and desolate land, countless gazes were simultaneously cast towards the sky above the Southern Continent.

The East Sea Eye, the Undying Volcano, the Blood Sea, Longevity Mountain, the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain of Beiju Luzhou... terrifying thoughts pierced through the void and landed on the two clusters of tribulation lightning that were brewing.

The Great Luo Golden Immortal is a watershed moment on the path of cultivation. Crossing this threshold means becoming a top existence in the primordial world, capable of ruling as a king or ancestor.

Not to mention these two people who are about to undergo tribulation, one is the future Human Emperor of the human race, and the other is a mixed-blood prodigy of the witch race and the human race. Their breakthrough is not only related to the individuals, but also to the struggle for the position of Human Emperor.

Meanwhile, the Great Luo Golden Immortals secretly compared their own tribulations when they broke through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. They wondered if the tribulations they encountered back then had such power.

In the end, they all discovered, somewhat disappointed, "Absolutely not!"

The tribulation lightning didn't keep people waiting long.

The two thunderclouds stopped churning simultaneously, and two deep golden bolts of lightning, tinged with a hint of blood, crashed down from the center of the thunderclouds, one on the left and one on the right, each possessing the power of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, striking Xuanyuan and Chiyou respectively.

When lightning streaked across the sky, the world lost its color, and the thunder shook the earth for hundreds of thousands of miles around.

On the city wall of the Youxiong tribe, Guang Chengzi watched the lightning bolt that struck Xuanyuan and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

With his discerning eye, he could tell at a glance that the power of this tribulation lightning had exceeded the range of the first tribulation of a normal Great Luo Golden Immortal... This was clearly tampered with!

If someone else had been in charge of the tribulation lightning, Guang Chengzi might have worried that it was deliberately targeting Xuanyuan, but the one in charge of the heavenly lightning was Huanglong...!

Deep within the Jiuli tribe, the barefoot woman looked up at the streaks of blood-red lightning in the tribulation lightning and suddenly chuckled softly.

The laughter was soft, like the sound of a mountain stream hitting pebbles, clear and brief, but none of the people around, including the Jiuli tribe, seemed to notice anything unusual.

"Father God's blood essence!" Houtu's voice was unhurried, with a hint of amusement as she watched a good show. "That brat Chi You is in for a rough time."

Upon hearing this, Xing Tian, ​​who was standing beside her, showed deep worry on his rugged face.

The giant axe on his shoulder trembled slightly, its blade reflecting the light of the tribulation lightning from the sky. "Your Majesty, that tribulation lightning is strange. Should we...!"

"No need," Houtu interrupted him, her tone still calm. "It's good for him to suffer a bit. He's been running rampant in the Taiyi Realm for so many years, not even putting a Daluo in his eyes. It's time to curb his arrogance and let him know that there are always people stronger than him. Besides...!"

She glanced in the direction of the Youxiong tribe. "Youxiong Xuanyuan is also undergoing the same trial. This is an opportunity given to them by Huanglong, not a punishment. If they can overcome it, the Great Luo Three Flowers will open one more grade. If they can't...!"

Houtu paused, a slight smile playing on her lips. "If Chi You can't even withstand this much lightning, he doesn't deserve to be called Chi You."

Xing Tian didn't hear any other sounds, but he heard the words "Yellow Dragon" and his tense expression instantly relaxed.

When the tribulation lightning struck, Chi You and Xuanyuan made the same choice.

Chi You looked up at the deep golden lightning bolt hurtling towards him, grinned, and revealed a set of white teeth.

Then he took a step forward, and the mountain beneath his feet instantly collapsed. He shot into the sky like a cannonball, crashing straight into the lightning bolt.

Xuanyuan reacted almost exactly the same way, leaping into the sky and flying towards the lightning bolt tinged with blood.

Despite being separated by the entire continent of Nanzhanbu, the two made the same move at the same moment, pausing for a instant in the void as they gazed in each other's direction.

Chi You sensed Xuanyuan.

Xuanyuan sensed Chiyou.

Across the boundless void, across countless mountains and rivers, the two sensed each other's presence at the same time.

The instant before the tribulation, the moment he sensed the other party.

Nemesis!

The word simultaneously surfaced in both of their minds.

Both knew of each other's existence and that they fought for humanity, yet they had never met.

But at this moment, the two of them broke through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm at the same time and faced the tribulation of heaven at the same time. This fateful entanglement reached an unprecedented level.

Xuanyuan nodded slightly, as if paying homage to his nemesis in the distance.

Chi You grinned, as if to say, "Come and fight!"

Then the two of them simultaneously turned their gazes away and faced the lightning bolt that was already within reach.

A blood-red lightning bolt crashed down, and two figures, like cannonballs, shattered the mountains, creating two enormous sinkholes at the same time!

"......"
