In the game "Covering the Sky," I can create nine kinds of immortal gold.

Having memories of two lifetimes, Zhang Taichu has a profound understanding of romantic relationships.

Especially after experiencing such an unhappy marriage in his previous life, his attitude towards women is completely different from that of a young man.

In Zhang Taichu's understanding, being gentle and generous to women, and being a so-called "gentlemanly" boyfriend, is completely useless.

What good is it if you're gentle, generous, or considerate?

Once a woman gets used to your kindness, she will become numb or even annoyed.

If another blond guy comes along at this point, she might just dump you for a thrill, which is why simps often meet a terrible end.

If you want to keep a woman by your side forever, there is only one way: conquer her. You must be better than her in every way to stimulate her inner admiration for strength.

This is why blond-haired thugs are never short of women. No matter how much of a scoundrel they are, at least on the surface, these blond-haired thugs give people the feeling that they are not to be messed with.

In the eyes of some ignorant women, this is the demeanor of a strong person.

Zhang Taichu was certainly not a hoodlum, and the Holy Maiden of Yaochi was not a brainless, stupid woman, but every woman has a tendency to admire the strong.

If Zhang Taichu wants to win her over, he must be stronger than her. The reason the Holy Maiden has feelings for him now is because Zhang Taichu is far superior to her in Origin Techniques. In other words, these feelings are also due to the psychology of admiring the strong.

In order to completely conquer the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, Zhang Taichu decided to reveal a little secret to her and at the same time officially surpass her in cultivation and combat power, achieving a complete crushing victory.

In the Northern Region, there is no shortage of boundless wasteland. Zhang Taichu brought the Holy Maiden of Yaochi here and immediately used the profound mystery of the Immortal Gold of the Dao Tribulation Gold.

"Boom boom boom"

Thick tribulation clouds gathered in the sky, and soon purple lightning flashed, startling the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

"This is a heavenly tribulation! Tai Chu, you..."

"Don't say anything yet, just watch. I'll explain later."

At this moment, the energy of the heavenly tribulation had been fully gathered and was about to strike Zhang Taichu.

The Soul-Shaking Bell flew out, then its mouth turned outward, spewing out thick yin energy.

All of this yin energy was drawn from the ancient tomb in Licheng, and its total amount exceeded the number of yin spirits in the first few layers of the Immortal Spring in the Old Land of Yaochi.

Yin energy and spirits are considered the ultimate Yin in the universe, while the power of thunder in the Heavenly Tribulation is considered the ultimate Yang. The Yin and Yang forces attract and repel each other, so when they appear at the same time, they will erupt into fierce conflict.

"Boom!"

A bolt of divine lightning as thick as a bucket struck down, instantly clearing away the yin energy within a radius of a hundred meters. However, the yin energy within the ancient tomb of Licheng was as vast as the sea, and a single bolt of lightning was simply not enough to clear it all away.

Over the next half hour, the entire sky transformed into a sea of ​​thunder, colliding with and dissolving with the sea of ​​yin energy, eventually turning into a rich life force that Zhang Taichu absorbed using his Devouring Profound Technique.

A massive amount of life force surged into his body, and Zhang Taichu immediately channeled it into the Sea of ​​Bitterness, enhancing its quality and volume.

His Sea of ​​Bitterness had already shown initial signs of abnormality, and now, with the infusion of so much life energy, he has directly upgraded from a minor prodigy to a top-tier prodigy.

That is, the level of ancient aristocratic families and candidates for holy sons of holy lands, such as Ji Haiyue, who appeared in the original work, and was a candidate for holy son of Yao Guang.

Don't be fooled by how easily Ye Fan defeated these guys in the original story; they are actually quite talented.

If they can live until the Golden Age officially begins, they will surely become kings, and there is even a sliver of hope that they can become saints.

Zhang Taichu spent a day consolidating his strength, and as a result, he naturally broke through to the Four Extremes Secret Realm. However, despite the improvement in his realm, there was no happy smile on Zhang Taichu's face.

"What's wrong, Tai Chu? You've advanced to the Fourth Extreme Realm, why aren't you happy?"

Zhang Taichu turned his head to look at the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

"Holy Maiden, I have a question for you. When you advanced to the Four Extremes Secret Realm, did you experience a Heavenly Tribulation?"

"Yes, so..."

"Now you understand why I'm unhappy, right? Whether or not one can undergo the Heavenly Tribulation in the Four Extremes Secret Realm is the biggest difference between a genius and a mediocre person. It seems that the heavens don't have high hopes for me and think I'm just an ordinary person. How infuriating!"

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi covered her mouth and chuckled. Just as she was about to say a few words of comfort, Zhang Taichu suddenly flew into the sky and shouted at her.

"Stay away from me. If God looks down on me, I'll slap him in the face and show him how blind he is!"

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi thought Zhang Taichu was just throwing a tantrum, but her expression changed the next second.

The tribulation clouds that had already dispersed in the sky suddenly reappeared, and this time they were even larger than before.

Moreover, since there is no Yin energy to draw fire this time, the Heavenly Tribulation will indiscriminately attack all targets within its range.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi finally understood why Zhang Taichu had told her to stay away, and also realized how terrifying this move was.

She had previously thought it was some kind of special lightning-related secret technique, but now it seems that it is not a secret technique, but a real heavenly tribulation.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi quickly moved away, escaping the range of the Heavenly Tribulation's attack. As a result, only Zhang Taichu remained within the Heavenly Tribulation.

"Come on, let me show you the results of my cultivation. I'm different now!"

"Boom!"

A bolt of purple lightning as thick as a bucket struck down. Zhang Taichu neither dodged nor evaded, nor could he dodge it. Even if you had the Xingzi Secret Technique, the heavenly tribulation would still chase after you and strike you. It was useless to escape to any place!

With a loud bang, Zhang Taichu's clothes turned to ash instantly, and his skin darkened several shades!

However, this time he was not knocked unconscious, nor was he seriously injured; he only suffered damage to his hair and skin.

Zhang Taichu laughed triumphantly, but it seemed as if he had angered the heavens. One after another, bolts of purple lightning struck down as if they were free, striking down over a hundred bolts in just three seconds.

Zhang Taichu could no longer remain calm. He began coughing up large amounts of blood, and his skin and even muscles felt like they were melting.

"Damn~~ Is this the true power of the Heavenly Tribulation? No, this is far from it. Ye Fan's Four Extremes Heavenly Tribulation was an ocean of thunder. I'm nothing compared to this. Sure enough, the blood of the Ancient Sacred Body is thick."

"But I've worked so hard for so long just to get closer to, or even surpass, him, so let's keep going!"

Unlike a true heavenly tribulation, Zhang Taichu could dispel the tribulation clouds at any time, making him far less dangerous than Ye Fan.

But because you have the initiative, it puts your willpower to the test even more.

How long you can persevere, and whether you should stop when you can't hold on any longer—these are all tests.

Zhang Taichu gritted his teeth and persevered. Soon, the area around his body transformed into a sea of ​​lightning, comparable to Ye Fan's Four Extremes Heavenly Tribulation.

At this moment, in the eyes of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, Zhang Taichu was completely blackened and was almost charred. She was extremely anxious, but she couldn't help him at all.

Even if she rushed over regardless of the danger, she would only suffer the Heavenly Tribulation herself. The power of the Heavenly Tribulation would not be diluted just because there was one more person undergoing the tribulation; it might even double.

Just when the Holy Maiden of Yaochi thought Zhang Taichu was about to give up, a deafening roar rang out, and an ancient beast that looked like both a lion and a tiger suddenly leaped out of Zhang Taichu's body. At the same time, a brand new ocean of lightning rapidly spread out, covering an area of ​​one kilometer in radius.

"This is... a phenomenon from the Sea of ​​Wheels?!"
