"What...is this?" Li Ye was taken aback.

Before he could think further, a giant maw burst open the whale's body and lunged at him like a dark shadow.

Its aura fluctuated wildly, sometimes rising to the level of Earth Immortal, and sometimes suddenly falling back to the level of Human Immortal.

It's really strange that such a thing is hidden inside the muddy whale!

Li Ye's pupils contracted sharply, his mind racing. Not daring to be careless, he quickly activated his escape light and retreated rapidly.

But it was still too late!

The enormous mouth had already covered half of its body, baring its teeth to bite, and in an instant, it snapped shut on the right hand.

Just then, the escape light was activated, carrying Li Ye's body and rushing away into the distance.

A tearing sound—the sound of flesh being ripped apart—suddenly rang out.

Li Ye screamed in agony, his eyes nearly bulging out of their sockets. He then forced himself to endure the excruciating pain and stared intently into the distance.

It has a camel's head, deer antlers, rabbit eyes, and a long, blackish-red whisker on each side of its mouth, which can be several feet long.

His expression changed drastically, and he was horrified: How could there be a dragon here?

The thought had barely formed when the person vanished with the streak of light.

next moment.

A fierce and terrifying dragon roar resounded in all directions, seemingly reaching the ears of the heavens.

Upon hearing the sound, Shouzheng and the other members of the Demonic Sect's Earth Immortals all stopped their magic and looked towards the turbid whale, following the dragon's roar.

But then, boundless turbid air and blood-red fierce light shot into the sky, enveloping half of the body of a turbid dragon with black and red markings, making its black scales look like iron and its red stripes like blood.

We do not know where the dragon comes from, but we know that it is fierce and cruel.

The turbid dragon pierced straight through the turbid whale's body, fully unfurling its tail, and billowing red blood slid down its scales, flowing into the earth.

It perched beside the turbid whale, oblivious to the group of Earth Immortals from both the Dao and Demonic sects, and greedily smiled to itself.

It immediately lowered its dragon head, devoured the whale meat and drank its blood, intending to eat the rest of the whale alive.

Perhaps feeling unsatisfied, the turbid dragon's vertical pupils suddenly darkened, it let out a dissatisfied groan, and then exhaled a breath of turbid air, falling towards the whale's body.

Upon contact, it melts into flesh and blood, and a wisp of pure yet turbid evil energy suddenly appears.

Subsequently, under the corrosive and polluting power of the turbid breath, the whale's body collapsed piece by piece, turning into a continuous stream of turbid and malevolent energy.

Although the muddy whale continued to cry out in sorrow, a hint of joy was visible in its eyes.

At the same time, its body was collapsing piece by piece, releasing an endless stream of turbid and malevolent energy.

Upon seeing this, the turbid dragon's eyes flashed with joy and delight. It couldn't wait to open its mouth and swallow the billowing turbid evil energy into its belly.

He then let out a long sigh, slowly turned his head, his gaze falling on the city, and grinned.

Upon witnessing this scene, Shouzheng felt a sense of foreboding and thought to himself: Why must such a ferocious creature appear at this time?

The demonic sect members are troublesome, and two powerful demons are also eyeing them. Faced with both, the Taoist immortals are already overwhelmed.

If we add this turbid dragon...

Shouzheng glanced at the tall Taoist priest beside him and the remaining Taoist immortals, sighed inwardly, and made a silent decision: even if he were to die here today, he would protect these juniors and the people of the city.

He is both an elder and a Taoist priest, so it is only right that he act this way.

Beside them, the group of Earth Immortals from the Demonic Sect suddenly gasped for breath, their eyes gleaming with wild joy and greed.

But at this moment, there were those who were even happier than them—the two great demons.

They stared at the figure in disbelief, paused for a moment, and then let out a joyful howl.

A turbid dragon? A noble among demons.

Not human, but one of our own kind!

Furthermore, unlike the muddy whale, it has no risk of going mad, and can be won over.

Now that the demons from the other two realms have poured in and joined forces with each other, we are under their pressure and need their help to get out of this predicament.

The two great demons exchanged glances, their eyes darting around as they considered whether to change the purpose of their journey.

Although the turbid dragon is extraordinary, we still need to see if it can survive the heavenly tribulation before making a final judgment.

If one can overcome this obstacle, then one can address him as "fellow Daoist," just like human cultivators do.

If it cannot be overcome, then there are two other words.

With that in mind, they turned their gaze back to the turbid dragon, waiting to see what would happen next.

Shouzheng and others, along with a group of demonic immortals, were in the same situation.

They looked up at the already dark sky, and as if by unspoken agreement, they simultaneously moved away from the turbid dragon.

Demons and monsters are born of Heaven and Earth, and Heaven and Earth will not punish them for their transgressions. However, their actions harm people, the land, and Heaven, which is contrary to the great trend of Heaven's opening and closing.

Therefore, Heaven and Earth often send down lightning tribulations as a test.

It is thunder from the heavens, not wind and rain.

Therefore, although the water elemental energy in the world was active before, they did not expect that there was a demon undergoing tribulation.

The tribulation lightning can only be performed by the demon itself; it cannot rely on external forces, otherwise the wrath of heaven will be even greater.

With the tribulation of lightning approaching, it's best to stay away to avoid suspicion.

Lin Shu sensed that the heavenly tribulation was approaching, and his expression was full of worry.

So he silently moved a little closer to the turbid dragon, but kept a proper distance so as not to be conspicuous.

Zhuolong is Zhuyin, without a doubt.

The turbid dragon he raised himself was always by his side, and it was only a few months old.

By a stroke of luck and through a clever trick, he gained a thousand years of cultivation and was able to transform into a dragon.

Unfortunately, that turbid whale was too nourishing, so much so that the lightning tribulation of dragon transformation collided with the tribulation of the three-nine lightning that led to the attainment of the Earth Immortal rank.

Although there are still twenty-seven lightning bolts, the power of each lightning bolt has greatly increased, making it far more dangerous than usual.

Of course, this was also something that Lin Shu intentionally had Zhu Yin do.

Everything has its advantages and disadvantages.

While Zhuyin can rapidly improve his cultivation by consuming earth veins and the flesh and blood of turbid whales, he will also suffer the consequences, causing his foundation to become weak and unstable, which will hinder his future advancement.

Therefore, it needs to be properly honed.

And nothing is more fitting than a tribulation of lightning descending from heaven and earth.

As for how to get through it?

Lin Shu had his own plans, as he had told Zhu Yin before—swallow the entire turbid whale and tough it out.

Zhuyin did the same.

It seemed to sense something, and let out an anxious groan. Then, disregarding that the turbid whale's body had not yet completely transformed into turbid evil energy, it surged with demonic power, and its body suddenly grew to a gigantic size.

In a short while, it became so enormous that its entire form was obscured. Dark clouds floated around the dragon's body, making its tail visible but its head invisible.

Immediately, the candlelight drooped, obscuring the light of day, and boundless darkness enveloped Fuyuan.

With a slight opening of its mouth, it swallowed the entire turbid whale whole, let out a long roar, and soared straight up, disappearing into the dark clouds.

Soaring through the heavens, only a section of the dragon's body could be seen, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

After several dozen breaths, the energy of heaven and earth suddenly tightened, and a heavy pressure enveloped the clouds, with some of it dissipating to the ground.

The expressions of the seven Taoist Earth Immortals, including Shouzheng, and the other Demonic Earth Immortals all hardened.

They looked up at the sky and thought to themselves: This heavenly tribulation's pressure... isn't something's right?

The two great demons felt the same way.

The creature, resembling a swimming fish, stood upright and suddenly transmitted its voice, "Did we also possess such power when we underwent our tribulation of lightning?"

The other demon pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be that exaggerated."

But dragons are born with extraordinary abilities, so it's not surprising that they possess such qualities.

As soon as he finished speaking, the great demon, which resembled a swimming fish, seemed about to say something, but suddenly shut his mouth and fell silent.

Lightning struck.
