Li Che fed the Second Calamity Third Tribulation Demon God Venerable to Strange Power Zhu Huai, advancing its progress. His Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit also advanced, and he plans to elevate his martial art. After absorbing the demon energy of two Demon God Venerables, especially the Xuan Ying Demon God Venerable, Li Che's Ten Thousand Demon Emperor Dao Fruit finally transformed, reaching its Fifth Shedding and triggering the Life Dao Tribulation. Meanwhile, the Chief Supervisor observed the Earthly Ghost Emperor blocking the Inner City of Qitian.
"However, should the Supreme suppressing the Gods be truly pushed to the absolute limit, given Xuanzhen's nature, he might indeed contact Your Majesty and implore to borrow the Gathering Immortals Flag..." "Should the Gathering Immortals Flag succeed in suppressing the void and shielding the Heaven and Earth Will, allowing the Supreme to break free from Qi Tian Inner City... then, Ghost Emperor, you shall face true peril." The Chief Supervisor gave a shake of his head. "Enough, the situation in Qi Tian City is, in actuality, of minor consequence. The primary focus of the All Gods Camp at present remains centered on the Mysterious Temple associated with the Wrathful Third Prince of the Golden Light Prefecture..." "The Third Crown Prince diverges from Qi Tian... While Qi Tian, at the very least, engages in rational discourse, the Third Crown Prince... is truly defiant and unyielding! Nevertheless... the Third Crown Prince's revival... is profoundly linked to Xi Xi." "Regarding the Third Prince's arsenal... only the Mystic Thunder Vajra Qiankun Ring remains." "This Divine Weapon is situated upon the Ancestor Dragon Island, belonging to the Four Seas Dragon Clan..." "The All Gods Camp... their meticulous planning is truly exhaustive." ... ... Buzzz—— Demonic energy surged and intertwined, manifesting as spectral chains that coiled around the heart. Li Che's eyes flickered open, his vision overlayed with golden light that coalesced into prompt text. Despite the internal turmoil, he didn't exhibit undue surprise. After all, Li Che had long harbored suspicions that tonight's battle, the vanquishing of the Demon Race's Demon God Venerable, and the subsequent absorption of demonic energy, might trigger a metamorphosis within the [Emperor of Ten Thousand Demons] Dao Fruit. Thump thump thump—— His heart pulsed with potent vigor, a fierce gale ensued, swirling through Mo City Fengdu and propelling the pitch-black raindrops in the sky. Innumerable threads of demonic energy enveloped Li Che's form. With a mere shift of his intent, he perceived a profound alteration and intertwining occurring between his Martial Immortal Golden Body and the demonic energy, catalyzing a cascade of transformations. His physical body seemed to undergo intense strengthening, as if subjected to relentless forging, purging all impurities and seamlessly integrating the demonic energy, thereby initiating a monumental physical metamorphosis. "Exhale——" "Inhale——" Mist-like demonic energy wove intricate, arcane patterns upon his golden body, exuding an eerie aura. Boom—— With a single thought, boundless demonic energy coalesced, assuming the formidable shape of a Dragon Elephant. The nascent, indistinct concept Li Che held regarding the Dragon Elephant's form solidified entirely in that instant. A Dragon Elephant, too, could be a demon! Myriad Transformations Dragon Elephant... it appeared to have unlocked new understandings and achieved a breakthrough! Thump——!!! A colossal stone plunged into still waters, generating concentric ripples that expanded outwards. The whistling wind, the drumming rain, the rumbling earth – all sounds faded into oblivion, leaving only the frenetic pulsing of the Dao Fruit within his chest cavity. Boom—— A potent suction force erupted, drawing Li Che into the Dao Tree Space. There, he beheld the colossal [Emperor of Ten Thousand Demons] Dao Fruit suspended, radiating an overwhelming demonic energy. Subsequently, the visual panorama before Li Che warped and shifted, revealing a terrifying entity within the ethereal domain. Demonic energy surged skyward from its form, colossal wings unfurled, as if traversing countless immense stars in the blink of an eye! It moved with the freedom of flight across the vast cosmos! The awe-inspiring and colossal figure appeared larger than the stars themselves, occupying a nearly collapsing celestial body. Its eyes opened and closed, seemingly peering through the veils of time and space! The vision fragmented. Li Che's spirit receded, withdrawing even from the boundless expanse of heaven and earth, the Dao Tree now out of sight. Huff huff huff huff—— Slowly exhaling a prolonged breath, Li Che savored the experience, a subtle twitch on his face betraying his burgeoning excitement... "A Demon Immortal soaring through the cosmos..." "Will I, in the future, attain such a magnitude?" "Then, can I traverse the boundless celestial pathway and reach the star held within my memory?" Li Che's eyes blazed with a newfound intensity. Innumerable tendrils of demonic energy seemed to awaken, imbued with a consciousness of their own, solidifying into chains that relentlessly penetrated his being. They sought to refine his internal organs, his very skeletal structure, every single cell! At this juncture, the Martial Immortal Golden Body emitted a resonant clang. His skin, blood, acupoints, meridians, bones, and marrow... Every aspect of his physical form underwent a profound transformation, reacting dynamically with the encroaching demonic energy. Sizzle sizzle sizzle—— Hot vapor swirled and billowed.

In Mo City, the rain descended like torrents; within its bounds, Li Che's breaths were deep and resonant, akin to a colossal demon's. His five fingers tightened, the Myriad Transformations Dragon Elephant technique manifesting with newfound vitality, the Dragon Elephant embodying a fierce spirit.

His physical form grew formidable, unleashing a terrifying might. Air currents swirled violently around him, causing strands of his hair to snap and detonate!

The musculature along his spine, forming a triangular yet flawless shape, resembled the folded wings of a Demon Immortal...

Before his very eyes, demonic energy coalesced and intertwined.

[Dao Fruit lv7, Five Sheddings, Dao Guide (Yin Yang Demon Blade) advancement, Dao Tribulation (Primordial Demon Gold Scales)]

Screech——!!!

A piercing shriek erupted, capable of shattering eardrums, as if a supreme Great Demon had been resurrected, emitting a ghastly wail!

A golden radiance appeared, floating before his vision and forming into pronouncements.

Li Che's gaze sharpened; a new Power of Tribulation had manifested!

Primordial Gold Tribulation?!

His mind thrummed with an intense resonance, as if it were on the brink of exploding!

Gold, fire, water, wind, wood... Save for the Primordial Wind Tribulation, four of the Five Elements were now present!

Thus, what would the nature of the other Primordial Dao Tribulations be?

An immense curiosity surged within Li Che's heart, prompting him to wonder about the sheer variety of Original Dao Tribulations that could exist.

There had to be a finite number, and later, as the Dao Fruit underwent transformation through Five Sheddings and awakened, the potential for encountering the same Dao Tribulation should arise.

Li Che lifted his hand, vaguely sensing golden scales intermittently materializing upon the hardened, seemingly impervious surface of his Martial Immortal Golden Body, appearing as though intricately carved with unique sigils!

It felt like an incredibly potent form of armor!

[Dao Tribulation (Primordial Demon Gold Scales): Dao leads to tribulation, Heaven and Earth Primordial, Origin Gold Tribulation, Demon Immortal Chaos Star]

The true description of the Dao Tribulation materialized before his eyes.

This was the fifth type of Original Dao Tribulation!

Li Che contemplated deeply, carefully mulling over the phrase: Origin Gold Tribulation, Demon Immortal Chaos Star...

What might the potency of the Gold Tribulation entail?

Li Che found himself somewhat incapable of grasping its essence.

His thoughts stirred.

Invoke the Dao Tribulation!

Why was that—?

A brilliant hum resonated, as if the very stars were shifting, and his surroundings transformed. He was now enveloped within the Dao Tribulation Space.

As always, it was a desolate, destructive, and frigid realm. Within this world, not a speck of vitality could be found, with bare rocks jutting out jaggedly and menacingly, resembling the barren topography of a dying star.

Original Gold Tribulation...

Explode!

Puff puff puff...

Abruptly, Li Che felt golden, scale-like plates erupting from his body, reminiscent of a dragon's scales.

They radiated a dazzling golden luster!

The Martial Immortal Golden Body automatically activated, emitting clanging sounds as the golden scales covering his flesh seemed to gain sentience. A sharp, piercing force surged forth, as if capable of shattering all!

Poof!

Li Che's arm instantly disintegrated, shattered by the destructive energy emanating from the golden scales!

The Gold Tribulation is unbreakable!

It cannot be resisted!

Even now, the Martial Immortal Golden Body became as fragile as delicate parchment when confronted by this penetrating tribulation force!

However, Li Che was no longer a novice venturing into the Dao Tribulation space for the first time.

Initially, the moment he first entered the Dao Tribulation Space, he was instantaneously incinerated by the Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame.

Now, Li Che could endure for a considerable duration.

The golden scales continued to proliferate across his skin, with vibrations and sharpness ceaselessly assaulting his body.

Penetrate, vibrate, shatter, unbreakable!

This was the indelible impression the Original Gold Tribulation left upon Li Che.

Li Che's Martial Immortal Golden Body was riddled with countless apertures, as if innumerable beams of light were being discharged from them.

Boom——

Ultimately, the Martial Immortal Golden Body reached its breaking point and detonated with a resounding boom!

Li Che's eyes fluttered open, only to find himself bewildered, realizing he had not yet exited the Dao Tribulation Space.

His spirit seemed to hover within the Dao Tribulation Space in an ethereal state, akin to a divine odyssey across the cosmos, his Yang God detached from his form.

Slowly, he appeared to observe from an external vantage point.

He witnessed his fragmented physique reassembling itself, assuming a meditative posture, suspended in mid-air within the Dao Tribulation Space.

A flicker of astonishment immediately registered in Li Che's eyes.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh——

Within the Dao Tribulation Space, streams of luminescence flowed.

These represented a spectrum of Dao Tribulation forces!

Purple Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame, cyan Primordial Sky-cutting Storm, white Primordial Heart-purifying Stream, green Primordial Withering Branch, and golden Primordial Demon Gold Scales!

Around Li Che's physical form, the five forces of the Dao Tribulation intertwined and spiraled. A flame, a powerful wind, a flowing stream, a sturdy branch, and a glistening scale! In a flash, these five collided. A brilliant radiance seemed to erupt, undeniably the tribulation's power, yet mirroring the ascendance of splendid celestial omens! Li Che's disembodied soul observed from above. He then perceived how the tribulation's power ceaselessly gathered behind his corporeal body, coalescing into a millstone-like wheel of light. However, this wheel of light was still incomplete, missing several hues. Despite this, Li Che's gaze sharpened, and his heart was involuntarily swept by a tempest of emotion! Because he recognized it... This was... The Disaster Wheel! Immediately after, an understanding flooded Li Che's consciousness. Golden characters, intricately woven, indistinctly formed before him. Li Che strained to make them out. Finally, he clearly discerned the characters. [Heaven and Earth Hong Meng, Original Nine Tribulations]
