Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

Two figures crashed down like meteorites, plunging into the mountains of the Southern Continent.

Outside the bottomless pit, the terrifying shockwave leveled tens of thousands of miles around, turning mountains and rocks into dust!

Smoke and dust billowed into the sky, obscuring the sun and shrouding the entire tribulation site in a hazy, gray mist.

Guang Chengzi stood on the city wall of the Youxiong tribe, his gaze piercing through the smoke and dust, staring at the deep pit that Xuanyuan had smashed.

There was no movement at the bottom of the pit.

The humans behind him were all silent at this moment, but they believed that their leader, Xuanyuan, would surely rise up and lead the human race to glory!

On the other side of the Jiuli tribe, Xing Tian gripped his giant axe, restless and anxious.

Houtu remained standing on the city wall, her bare feet treading on the cold stone surface, her expression calm. She knew Chi You's condition better than anyone else.

The smoke and dust slowly dissipated from the enormous pit.

The sound of rolling gravel came from the bottom of the pit.

A mangled, bloody figure rose from the rubble.

His body was covered in cracks, and a bowl-sized wound had been blasted open on his chest by lightning, with his skin and flesh torn open.

His skin was cracked inch by inch, and blood gushed from countless wounds, turning him into a blood-soaked figure.

In the deep pit on the other side, Xuanyuan's situation was almost exactly the same.

His armor was mostly shattered, and his body was covered in blood and gore.

But even as they endured the pain, a smile appeared on their faces.

When Chi You grinned, the wound at the corner of his mouth was torn open even wider, and blood dripped down his chin, but he didn't care at all.

Because he sensed... that strands of pure and supreme blood energy were surging wildly within their bodies, tempering their flesh.

The blood energy was neither his own nor a remnant of the blood essence of the great witch of the witch clan, but rather contained within the heavenly tribulation lightning. After shattering his flesh and blood, it was absorbed by his body and was restoring his physical body at an incredible speed. His physical strength, which had already been tempered to its limit, was actually growing again.

Xuanyuan felt it too.

He looked down at the wound on his chest, where the flesh was writhing and growing at a visible speed.

The injuries on the two were mostly healed in just a few dozen breaths. When they flew out of the Holy Root and into the void, their ripped flesh had been completely healed.

Their aura was slightly stronger than before they were struck by lightning.

That slight increase was extremely noticeable, and many Quasi-Saints and Great Luo Golden Immortals who were paying attention to it could clearly perceive it.

Despite being struck by crimson lightning and having his skin torn open, his foundation was not damaged; on the contrary, his cultivation level improved slightly.

Standing on the city wall, Guang Chengzi looked at the significantly more solid aura emanating from Xuanyuan, and the worry on his face was finally replaced by joy.

He let out a long sigh of relief, a smile appearing on his lips.

The more solid the foundation, the greater the future achievements and the further one can go on the path of the Great Dao, from the peak of Taiyi to the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

The fact that Xuanyuan's aura became even stronger under the baptism of blood-red lightning meant that he was a Great Luo Golden Immortal, and the higher his achievement was.

On the city wall of the Jiuli tribe, Xing Tian saw Chi You standing in the void again with an even stronger aura, and couldn't help but laugh loudly.

His laughter was so loud and boisterous that it made the city wall tremble.

"Brother Huanglong is a true friend!" Xing Tian shouted towards the sky, his voice booming like thunder, "Let the tribulation lightning come even more fiercely!"

Before he could finish speaking, Xing Tian's face suddenly froze.

The crimson lightning above Chi You's head visibly deepened in color.

The color changed from a hint of blood to a mix of gold and red, and the pressure it emitted was twice as strong as before. The same change also occurred above Xuanyuan's head.

The heavenly tribulation seemed to be responding to Xing Tian's provocation.

Since you think it's not intense enough, let's increase the intensity!

Houtu glanced at Xingtian with annoyance. The meaning in her eyes was clear: You talk too much!

Xing Tian shrank his neck, and his grip on the giant axe tightened unconsciously.

Just as Chi You and Xuanyuan returned to their original positions in the void, before they could even catch their breath, the second tribulation lightning bolt crashed down.

The crimson color in this tribulation lightning was several times more intense than the first one. Even before the lightning struck, the destructive pressure had already caused the void beneath their feet to distort and deform.

As the thunder roared at the two men, the same scenario played out once again!

The two figures were once again slammed back to the ground from the void, and the two bottomless pits expanded outwards by a large circle.

The rocks at the bottom of the pit were melted by the lightning, and crimson lightning lava flowed slowly at the bottom of the pit.

When the two climbed out of the pit again, their injuries were more severe than the first time.

Chi You's body was covered in blood and flesh, with wounds revealing white bone. Xuan Yuan's chest was pierced through, and through the transparent hole, one could even see the lightning and magma behind him.

The blood energy contained within the tribulation lightning circulated within their bodies, attempting to heal these terrifying wounds, but the healing process was noticeably slower.

The injuries from the first tribulation lightning strike could be healed in a few dozen breaths, but this time, when they returned to the void, only a small portion of them had healed.

The third bolt of lightning followed immediately, giving them no chance to catch their breath.

The two had barely regained their footing when they were slammed back into the crater, which had now expanded to over 30,000 zhang (approximately 13,000 meters).

This time, flowers of flesh and blood bloomed around the two of them.

As the fourth bolt of lightning struck, large chunks of flesh were blasted off the two men's skeletons.

Half of Chi You's face was sliced ​​off by lightning, revealing his dark golden cheekbones underneath.

Xuanyuan's entire back was a bloody mess, with his spine barely visible beneath the charred flesh.

The fifth bolt of lightning struck.

Chi You roared and summoned his natal divine weapon, a dark-colored battle blade.

Xuanyuan also summoned his own magical sword, which Guangchengzi had personally crafted for him.

The two magical treasures shone brightly in the void, meeting the crimson lightning that descended from the sky.

boom!

boom!

But under that terrifying lightning, it only held out for a moment before being shattered into pieces by the tribulation lightning and scattered among the mountains.

After shattering the two magical artifacts, the crimson lightning continued downwards, slamming the two of them back into the earth.

The pit has expanded to over 50,000 zhang (approximately 25,000 meters), and the magma at the bottom has gathered into a small, blood-red lava lake.

When the sixth bolt of tribulation lightning struck, there wasn't a single piece of intact flesh left on Chi You and Xuanyuan's bodies.

Blood, flesh, tendons, and membranes were all stripped away from the skeleton layer by layer by the lightning, leaving only a skeleton of the two men.

Chi You's skeleton had a dark golden luster, a mark left by the great witch's blood essence being refined over many years.

Xuanyuan's skeleton was dark yellow, with the Jade Purity Immortal Law flowing deep within his bones, radiating a gentle and sacred light.

Two skeletons stood at the bottom of the deep pit, surrounded by surging lava and scattered aftershocks of lightning!

The Heavenly Tribulation of the Six-Nine Heavens signifies that Heaven has recognized their aptitude.

If they choose to remain at the bottom of the pit and stop stepping into the void, they will have survived this heavenly tribulation!
