Chapter 706: Chapter 706

After a while, Shen Long opened his eyes and let out a deafening roar that shook the practice room incessantly.

Five-colored auspicious clouds collided, forming a huge five-colored vortex which began to spin rapidly.

A large amount of five-colored auspicious clouds from afar flew towards it, sucked into the vortex by a strong force, instantly dissipating and steadily expanding the size of the vortex.

Less than half a quarter of an hour later, the five-colored auspicious clouds had disappeared completely, and a massive five-colored vortex appeared over the Golden Cicada Valley, blocking out the sun.

The five-colored vortex spun rapidly, and a torrent of five-colored raindrops poured down, heading straight for the practice room where Shen Long was located.

Tens of thousands of miles away, atop a steep peak, there was a blue stone pavilion where Mo Bingbing and Xu Tianhai sat inside, sipping tea and chatting leisurely.

In Mo Bingbing’s hand was a round pearl flashing with white light, using the treasure to observe the situation in the Golden Cicada Valley.

"With a rank six formation and the Seven Stars Lightning Transformation Talisman, as long as Shen Shizhu can achieve the Five Elements Unification, passing the Heavenly Tribulation shouldn’t be a problem," Xu Tianhai said confidently.

"I’m just afraid he might attract the Seven-Colored Divine Lightning," Mo Bingbing spoke with some concern.

"Impossible! Since the foundation of our sect, less than fifty disciples who were Soul Transformation Cultivators, hitting the Refinement Void Phase, have faced the Six-Colored Divine Lightning. Master Uncle Wu, Senior Brother Ning, and Senior Sister Wang, who met the Seven-Colored Divine Lightning while attempting the phase shift—Master Uncle Wu was the most formidable, with the appearance of three streaks of Seven-Colored Divine Lightning," Xu Tianhai said with gravity.

In the history of the Qianling Sect, so far, only three people had encountered the Seven-Colored Divine Lightning during their shift to the Refinement Void Phase, with Yuling True Monarch facing three streaks of Seven-Colored Divine Lightning.

"Since the establishment of our sect, Shen Shizhu is the first fifth-rank Alchemist to refine a supreme elixir. Even in the Shennong Pavilion, known throughout the Green Lotus Continent for its alchemy, there are not many fifth-rank Alchemists who can produce a supreme elixir. I wouldn’t be surprised if Shen Shizhu attracted the Seven-Colored Divine Lightning," Mo Bingbing solemnly stated.

When Cultivators challenge a great boundary, the stronger they are, the more powerful the Heavenly Tribulation will be—it’s a test of the Heavenly Dao, as well as recognition.

If they overcome the Heavenly Tribulation, they will ascend to a higher level. If not, their body and path shall perish.

"Then let’s wait and see! I too am curious to see what kind of Heavenly Tribulation he will draw," Xu Tianhai said in a deep voice, his face full of curiosity.

A roar that pierced the heavens and earth emanated from within the Golden Cicada Pavilion, reverberating inexhaustibly within a radius of ten thousand miles.

A gigantic human figure emerged above the Golden Cicada Valley, identical to Shen Long—just a magnified version of him.

As the Dharma Nature appeared, the colors of the sky and earth shifted, the wind howled fiercely, lifting masses of sand and stones; wide fissures formed on the ground, expanding continuously.

The ground began to shake violently as if an earthquake were occurring.

"Shen Shizhu has achieved the Five Elements Unification. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to summon his Dharma Nature. Once he passes the Heavenly Tribulation, he’ll become a Void Refining Cultivator," Mo Bingbing whispered, her gaze fixed on the giant human silhouette in the sky.

A large amount of yellow mist arose from the ground within a radius of ten thousand miles. At the same time, soil turned to sand, and a gale whipped up, lifting a blanket of yellow dust into the air.

"The rank six Heavenly Sand Great Array has strong defensive capabilities, and with the Seven Stars Lightning Transformation Talisman, plus the treasures in Shen Shizhu’s possession, there shouldn’t be any big issues," Xu Tianhai said as he took a sip of Spiritual Tea.

A rumbling thunderous sound resounded. The sky, previously clear, was suddenly covered with dense clouds. The wind became fierce, and a huge thundercloud formed above the Golden Cicada Valley.

The thundercloud churned and grew, becoming a massive and oppressive black mass in the sky.

With a crack of thunder, a thick silver lightning bolt struck down like a silver spear of lightning, headed straight for the Golden Cicada Valley.

A huge amount of yellow sand rose into the sky, forming a vast curtain of yellow sand that enveloped the entire valley.

When the silver lightning struck the yellow sand curtain, it didn’t move an inch.

Soon, a second bolt of the Heavenly Tribulation struck down, followed by a third, a fourth, and so on.

As each bolt of the Heavenly Tribulation struck, the lightning became increasingly bright, and the Golden Cicada Valley had turned into a Sea of Thunder. After the better part of an hour, the thundercloud still spanned several tens of feet.

There were only three more bolts of Heavenly Tribulation, and Shen Long would have passed the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.

The thunderclouds roiled and surged, revealing arcs of blue, red, blue, white, gold, yellow, and orange; the clouds transformed into seven colors.

"It’s really the Seven-Colored Divine Lightning!"

Mo Bingbing’s brows were tightly knitted.

"Three bolts of Seven-Colored Divine Lightning, does Junior Brother Shen have such great potential?"

Xu Tianhai was shocked.

A thunderous boom sounded, and a thick bolt of seven-colored lightning struck down, heading straight for the Golden Cicada Valley.

The seven-colored lightning struck the yellow sand screen, ripping a huge hole in it instantly.

The seven-colored lightning struck the small courtyard, with the seven-colored brilliance enveloping it.

Before the lightning had dissipated, a second bolt of seven-colored lightning struck down, the brilliance becoming even more blinding.

The seven-colored thunderclouds boiled like hot water, churning wildly, as a gigantic Seven-Colored Thunder Python appeared, exuding an aura of world-shattering destruction.

The Seven-Colored Thunder Python dived down from the sky at a rapid pace.

A loud beastly roar resonated, and a barrage of dense yellow fist shadows flew out, striking the body of the Seven-Colored Thunder Python in succession.

With a series of thunderous booms, the body of the Seven-Colored Thunder Python burst open, and a vast expanse of seven-colored light soared into the sky, fissures appeared on the ground, and dust filled the sky, rendering everything within ten thousand miles invisible.

A vast amount of yellow mist surged from the ground, sealing off the area within ten thousand miles.

Mo Bingbing was unable to see what was happening within the sea of yellow mist, her brows furrowed tightly.

"He actually attracted the Seven-Colored Divine Lightning, just like Master Uncle Wu, three bolts of it."

Xu Tianhai was shocked.

Within the sea of yellow mist, the Golden Cicada Valley was leveled.

A gigantic Thunder Roc stood in the air with its wings spread, its body covered with golden arcs of lightning; many feathers had fallen off, and it was drenched in blood with bones visible.

With a flash of spiritual light, Shen Long separated from the Thunder Roc; his clothes were tattered and his skin had numerous fine cuts, but he was not seriously harmed.

The Heavenly Sand Great Array, the Seven Stars Lightning Transformation Talisman, the Thunder-Resisting Pearl, and seven lower-grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures for defense were all ruined. The might of the Seven-Colored Divine Lightning was too fierce. It was only by merging with the Thunder Roc that Shen Long was able to withstand the final bolt of the Heavenly Tribulation.

The Thunder Roc had an Absorbing Thunder Pearl, which weakened part of the power of the Seven-Colored Divine Lightning. Without it, Shen Long would have undoubtedly suffered severe injuries.

"You actually attracted the Seven-Colored Divine Lightning; one more bolt, and you would have been reduced to ashes,"

Shen Long said with a frown.

"As long as the master can advance to the Refinement Void Phase, then it’s good,"

the Thunder Roc said weakly.

"You can go back into the Spirit Beast Bracelet first! I’ll find a way to heal you,"

Shen Long took out a cyan porcelain bottle, poured some blood-colored powder from it over the wounds of the Thunder Roc, fed it two fifth-grade elixirs of the Thunder Attribute, and took it back into the Spirit Beast Bracelet.

He took out an Array Plate that flickered with yellow light, injected a spell into it, and the yellow mist dissipated.

Mo Bingbing and Xu Tianhai descended from the sky, landing in front of Shen Long.

Upon seeing Shen Long, Mo Bingbing and Xu Tianhai were utterly shocked.

They knew the power of the Seven-Colored Divine Lightning; Yuling True Monarch had almost been struck to death when he attracted three bolts of it during his assault on the Refinement Void Phase.

It seemed that Shen Long had some serendipitous encounter, some treasure, that left him relatively unscathed.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother Shen, our Qianling Sect now has another Void Refining Cultivator,"

Mo Bingbing extended her congratulations.
